Simon and Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence [GOOD Studio Version]

Hello darkness, my old friend
Ive come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people - maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I."You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whisperd in the sound of silence."

one of the greatest songs of all time

[StratagusArts]

I remember listening to this song when I was only 5 years old. My parents would always play it when we went for a long road trip.

and yes, one of the greatest songs of all time. Those must be the good days...

music nowadays don't sent this kind of message... it's just for entertainment... useless

EPIC

One day i heard this song on the radio like 3 moths ago, and has been kept my head spinning since then.

Good song, no matter what people say, the only good music is the one that has been produced on the early 70s.

"Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains"
