When this song was at its height, my sister was 19 years old, dying from cancer. I was 17, and left school to spend a dreary winter with her in a Chicago hospital where they were doing experimental chemo. Late night, we'd order a pizza to be delivered to the ER in the basement, because nobody was allowed on the 8th floor cancer ward that late. We'd ride the elevator down and back, harmonizing this song together. She died too soon after that. I'm in my 70s now, but when I hear this song, I'm 17, in an elevator with great acoustics, holding a pizza, and singing my heart out with my best friend.
Your memories made me want to connect through this, I take it that your beloved sister has been gone for over 50 years now as you're in your 70's now. I lost my only brother two years ago, he was 57 and much older than your sister was, I'm still wondering how it will feel for me to be older than he was, is that something that you ticked off as the years went by, the things you expected to learn from your sister that could never be about getting older. I find that I'm still confused by it all and now I'm 57, the same age as my brother was. It's obvious that you still miss her and feel how you did with her at that time, I hope my feelings don't fade away and stay with me as yours have for your sister. Thanks for your posting.
@@mikeatcora Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings about your loss. In answer, yes, it was very strange when I became "older" than my older sister. The hardest part was when I became a mother and later, a grandmother, and she wasn't there to be an aunt. She would have been a much loved aunt. But in those joyful minutes I've felt her there with me, and it felt good. My kids never got to have cousins, and I regret that, but now their kids DO have cousins, and I share that joy. I wish you those joyful moments of your brother's presence, and hope it eases the painful times.
This is the song that changed my whole life! I'm Japanese and heard this song first when I was in high school. I got so interested in the lyrics of this song and started to study English. Now I'm over 60 and have been teaching how to speak English to Japanese for over 30 years. Thank you S&G. You are my eternal heroes!!!
I heard this first in high school also. My friend and I just looked at each other, and said “wow.” Many years later, my wife and went to this concert in Central Park, NYC.

I'm fifteen years old and a few weeks ago, I started listening to Simon and Garfunkel. My mom said that it was some of her favorite music, so I gave it a shot. Now I'm OBSESSED. I've listened to all of their albums on loop and now I'm just finishing watching this concert. I'm simply blown away. Paul's songwriting, his guitar, his voice, Art's voice, the way the two blend seamlessly together; it makes me want to cry. It's literal perfection. Perfection isn't easy to come by in this world, but when you find it it, it means everything. I'm so so angry that current music is so crappy, what would I give to be born a few generations earlier... I just want to say that I love S&G with my whole heart; it's given me so much.
Music from the 60’s and 70’s will be played forever because people from future generations, like yourself, continue to recognize its timeless greatness.
Be happy that you discovered the joys of Simon & Garfunkel now. Their songs will always be hip, groovy, and perfect, regardless of whatever crapola is being released these days. Great music lives forever! 💙
Charlotte, another brilliant song with just a man and his guitar is the live version of Don McLean’s 1971 tribute to Van Gogh called “Vincent”. Check it out if you aren’t familiar with it.
Everything of this song is perfect. The lonely but beautiful melody of the guitar, the counterpoint of two different voices singing together in harmony, the poetry of the lyrics... one of the best songs ever written.
Their lyrics, harmonies and quietness. Nothing compares to this era and they were up there in the best five of their times. I miss this brilliance. There is simply nothing that even comes close today. We are 'entertained' now and it's horrible stuff. This is like a huge breath of life. Beautiful to listen to and watch.
One of my dad's favourite songs. I miss him dearly. He was my hero, a war veteran, who sadly died of pancreatic cancer. He never got to meet his second grandson, as I was 4 months pregnant with him when my dad died. I named my son after my dad.
They didn't have autotune, fireworks, colorful shows or strange outfits. All they had and all they needed was their incredible voices and a guitar. So simple but still or so perfect, or maybe the simplicity of it is what made it so perfect.
Yep, me too. Its another timeless Simon&Garfunkel. Love it. You hear Paul's distinctive voice here. The voices of these two were made for each other. They harmonised perfectly.
Four decades ago , my dad was a college student in Taiwan, he bought this album for English learning. Twenty years ago, I was in junior high, he gave this tape to me , for English learning, too. A month ago, he passed away in the age of 62. Now, I marinate myself in the memory of my dad with this beautiful song.
Hello darkness, my old friend I've 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 No one dared 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 whispered in the sounds of silence"
I am 69 years old. My generation was truly blessed to have grown up with this music. Whether it was folk, or rock or motown; many of the songs and lyrics reflected what was going on in the world at the time. You could understand the words being sung; and the music was beautiful!
I’m 73, was 16 when I first heard it. We boomers were blessed by living through one of the greatest times in history, maybe generations, of the best music..
I think: My Top Ten of all written songs. All are number one: John Lennon - Imagine The eagles - Hotel California Simon & Garfunkel - Sound of silence Elvis Presley - Jail House Rock Michael Jackson - Billy Jean Whitney Houston - I will always love you Elton John - Candle in the wind Bob Dylon - Like a rolling stone Led Zepplin - Stairway to heaven Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower
its crazy how the low/high dynamic of the harmony in this song switches from one being flat, and the other being expressive, back and forth so seamlessly is incredible
To me, Disturbed version feel like you are already at the bottom, and S&G give me feel like steadily going downhill eternally, there's some ups but overall it still going downhill
I'm 65 now and I have listened the Great Geniuses of Simon & Garfunkel since I was 12 years old. Their albums were some of the ones I listened to every night on my record player. The way their music touches your soul is magnificent & beautiful that even a 12 year old could recognize the beauty in their soothing songs. ❤👩🦳
I'm pretty young but i like the music from the 60-80's. do you have any tips of great music from that era. I really love this, if i could listen to a song a last time then it would be this one.
@@sherminator1617 oh my goodness, there's just too many to choose from. Three decades of music is a lot of music. I love all kinds of music so that even adds tons more choices. There's only two kinds of music I have never been able to like and that's Heavy Metal because all I hear are screeching guitars and screaming voices. And the old fashioned twangy country music. I like the more modern country music. I love the 1960's & 1970's music. Just Google each year 1961 and onward and ask to list the top 40 for that year. Pick a song and give it a listen. One suggestion, try not to judge a band by just one of their songs. If you think you might enjoy a band give them a chance and listen to at least a couple songs. I can say during this pandemic I still listen to one of my favorite bands at night with my headphones on because their music is calming to me and helps me sleep. That band is called BREAD and I've been listening to the album entitled The Best of Bread. Depending what mood you're in there are other great music & bands like America, Christopher Cross, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Doobie Brothers, Earth Wind & Fire, The Grass Roots they were 1960's & 70's, so was Dr Hook & The Medicine Show but they're a required taste. If you like instrumental music especially Brass give Herb Albert & The Tiuana Brass band a try start with the song Rise. Jim Croce is also another great singer. Mama's & The Papa's, The Monkees, The Sweet but make sure you listen to the original The Sweet from the 1970's because after the band split up in early 1980's three of the members started their own Sweet band. The Sweet have several great songs and if you can find their songs also on a video then listen and watch them perform, it's great. Another great band from the 1970's to find on Video is named Pilot, I love that band too. Of course everyone loved the brother & sister duo back in the 70's called The Carpenters. Well, that's a start, should keep you busy for a few months. 👍
`The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls and whispered in the sound of silence`. This song is everlasting. Great! I hear it again and again. Classic!
I was a young man when I first heard Simon and Garfunkel sing this and other tunes. Now I am old and this music still effects me.Thank you for this video!
I was 13 when the movie the Graduate was at the cinemas. I went to see it on my own and fell in love with the songs and the movie. Still today i feel it is very fresh although it has been 55 years ago. Just goes to show that our spirit never ages Maria. God bless
@@petejones4931 A lot of people have heard their songs or cover versions of the songs they wrote and have no idea who they are. It’s usually the older people that are now sixty or older who are the biggest fans of Simon & Garfunkel. It all depends what music you were listening to when growing up, and the younger kids of today may not have been exposed to much of their music.
@@alexandrerocha7897 please tell me I'm confused about this, why you can't say nothing all about this posts, please help me understand why you can't speak
Oh my god...this is one of the most beautiful songs in the world!! The performance is awesome, look at the audience...this is such a huge crowd! This is a masterpiece of all time....
@ that’s a horrible argument i’m sorry. Michael Buble’s version of “Feeling good” has the most views of all the version, does that make it better than Nina Simone’s for example? I don’t think so.
This song is a masterpiece, a touching and truly "prophetic" one. How I love these two. Singing together, creating this pure harmony among them, and with those listening, through these meaningful deep songs. They are a blessing. These are the kind of Americans we miss in t world, would be so necessary today
To arouse us from our lethargy that leads us into the great flashes of light that will delight...the nightly sky, as thunder roars, and children cry as their mothers abhor; as night replaced day, for we forgot our way, until Paul Simon came along, and did play, this song; but the deaf not hear, and the blind did not see, as the many sounds of silence, came from out of an eerie...melee of fear.
These men will forever be one of the best musicians of our time. Some of my best memories of my childhood are watching Simon & Garfunkel on the BBC and PBS with my family. Love their harmonies. Never stop singing in my soul.
Ticks me off like nothing else. Applauds of excitement at the start and in appreciation at the end is all good, but be immersed in the music while it's playing ffs (at least don't ruin other people's immersion). Depending on song and setting, dancing/jumping is acceptable. It's just an expression of what emotions the music gives you and gives something back to the artist.
@@DekkarJr yeah, perhaps I went a bit overboard with that comment xD I just get annoyed when the audience makes a lot of noise during an emotional performance.
None of the fans of this song even understand what its about. If they did, we would have a very different world today. Sound of silence is louder than ever
No autotune, just natural voices and a guitar, this song touches the soul! Their voices gives so much comfort and takes me down some of my best memory lane
Certain songs, cross generations, race and religions...this is such a song. While listening we can all forget the world's troubles, and concentrate on only the good. Simon & Garfunkel we salute you 👏 👏 👏
Oh! Oh, yes, how well written and posted, I have felt this for so long, but who to tell, thank you so much..be safe and well and continue to spread your positivity..xx
Perfect harmony from an era of good music, the genius of Simon and that wonderful voice of Garfunkel melding into an unsurpassed classic of that era Thank you
Iako si otisao nikad nas nisi napustio,uvjek i zauvijek si prisutan u nasim zivotima kroz svoje pjesme i muziku.Nadam se da ce se jednom,bilo kad ostvariti tvoj a i moj san o miru i bratstvu u svijetu.Volim vas svih a Johnu jos jedan pozdrav i suza za nezaborav.❤❤
I grew up in the 60's. Beatles, etc. and Simon & Garfunkel. I was a hippie and loved all the 'relevant ' music. Kinda wish I could go back to that 'innocent' time. Today's 'music' is just a lot of noise.
It depends upon which "music" you're listening to. Look at Within Temptation, Delain, Nightwish, Disturbed, Hinder, The Calling. All of them have done great music. Tbh, Disturbed is what brought me here. I loved their cover of this song, so I wanted to hear the original.
its sick how much great music that was dropped in the 60's. I was born 1992 and all i can say is this music that are topping the lists today is trash compared to what was dropped in the 60's. That folk-rock music mixed with the culture back then must've been a sweet time for you .
It shows that talents, charisma and the right material combined make them shine the bightest stars of the moment. No other package was needed- no glits and blitz; no elegant suits, no mix of high quality accompaniment, but their hearts and souls sang it out in awesome melody to capture everyone present. I believe now that indeed
My god. You just answered my questions. I was wondering why this is so perfect, even though they hit wrong tones and stuff. I think the perfection lays in the imperfection. Today everything has to be perfect, every note gets corrected. Every video cost millions with ads and sponsors. And back then we just had the music and the message. Just wanted to spread out my random thoughts. I wish we would fight more for peace. But today I will be working again, for money. Ahhh rip.
This song is truly amazing. It brought back beautiful memories of my school days, back in the 70s. I am 64 and still feel like the song was composed yesterday. Amazing lyrics and amazing track!

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've 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
No one dared
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 whispered in the sounds of silence"
Dios le bendiga

I was a young man when I first heard Simon and Garfunkel sing this and other tunes. Now I am old and this music still effects me.Thank you for this video!
I'm a 70 woman and l still love hearing this song takes me back to the 70's thanks for the memories, 💕❣️❤️
I was 13 when the movie the Graduate was at the cinemas. I went to see it on my own and fell in love with the songs and the movie. Still today i feel it is very fresh although it has been 55 years ago. Just goes to show that our spirit never ages Maria. God bless
I am 72 now and always will love their songs!!!!
....from Russia with love...
ME TO
This song came out in the mid 60's.
Only two voices and one guitar. Magic
Durante siglos el hombre buscaba la inmortavilidad ,este tipo de música perdurará en el tiempo .
Fantástica canción, la escuché por primera vez como banda de sonido de la película "Perdidos en la noche "con Dustin Hoffman y Jon Voight
No one truly dies when they are remembered. Your sister lives on as you carry her memories.
One of the greatest songs of the last 100 years.
And California dreaming 😎
No jumping around, no fancy clothes, only their Godgiven talents-voices, words and an instrument-Heavenly
Hello Christine, how is things going with you ?

Somehow life always takes me back to this haunting melody.

Ich wünsche euch allen einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2025 ❤ viel Gesundheit und Glück und das der Krieg jetzt sofort aufhört.😢
Every now and then an artist/musician will create something that transcends all genres, people and generations. This is one of those songs.
One of the greatest songs ever written. This song is timeless and will still be played in one hundred years from now.
Still a classic, makes my hair stand up on back of my neck
So so true, pity most youngsters don’t even know it, it’s their loss
@@petejones4931 A lot of people have heard their songs or cover versions of the songs they wrote and have no idea who they are. It’s usually the older people that are now sixty or older who are the biggest fans of Simon & Garfunkel. It all depends what music you were listening to when growing up, and the younger kids of today may not have been exposed to much of their music.
Yes
@@alexandrerocha7897 please tell me I'm confused about this, why you can't say nothing all about this posts, please help me understand why you can't speak
Absolutely marvelous. Pure simple beauty. Just one guitar and two voices. ❤
Melhor "mantra sonoro hipnotico " do mundo em forma de cancao !⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oh my god...this is one of the most beautiful songs in the world!! The performance is awesome, look at the audience...this is such a huge crowd! This is a masterpiece of all time....
Jokes aside, this is definitely one of the best and deepest songs ever made. ❤
Not taking anything away from Simon and Garfunekl but I think 'Disturbed' version of this song is out of this world.
Agreed
@@Copzkilluahz I disagree with you. The harmonizing by Paul Simon makes this version of the song so perfect in my opinion. It is simply a masterpiece.
@@tomaszee123 theres a reason why distubed version has 1billion views
@ that’s a horrible argument i’m sorry. Michael Buble’s version of “Feeling good” has the most views of all the version, does that make it better than Nina Simone’s for example? I don’t think so.
The way they harmonize with each other has not been perfected to this degree before and it never will. They are one of a kind
Love and hate can do that.
I cannot agree more. It's pure magic. So very moving. One of THEE best duos in unison I have, and will ever, have heard.
É algo totalmente diferente
A songwriting/singing duo came close enough: Layne and Jerry
@@ryanleonen8238 well said!
What a fantastic time, when pure talent, great voices, and musicians who actually where able to play an instrument created an unforgettable event...
This song touches a piece of the soul that is so very distant and quickly fills it with ............"just right"
This song is a masterpiece, a touching and truly "prophetic" one.
How I love these two. Singing together, creating this pure harmony among them, and with those listening, through these meaningful deep songs.
They are a blessing. These are the kind of Americans we miss in t world, would be so necessary today
Today is 19th September!!!
Great!!! The day of the concert in Central Park!!!
Marvellous Simon and Art, forever!!!
A song that was beautiful then and will remain beautiful for evermore.
I'll never tire of listening to it.
A never ending masterpiece that touches the soul of everyone
To arouse us from our lethargy that leads us into the great flashes of light that will delight...the nightly sky, as thunder roars, and children cry as their mothers abhor; as night replaced day, for we forgot our way, until Paul Simon came along, and did play, this song; but the deaf not hear, and the blind did not see, as the many sounds of silence, came from out of an eerie...melee of fear.
@@nialloneill5097THAT MY FRIEND WAS TRULY SPECIAL, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT OUT THERE. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴
@@richardyoung7415 Peace be with you too!
The greatest duo in music history..... hands down for you Simon and Garfunkel ♥️
Hello Sofia how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
These men will forever be one of the best musicians of our time. Some of my best memories of my childhood are watching Simon & Garfunkel on the BBC and PBS with my family. Love their harmonies. Never stop singing in my soul.
They reached me as a 5 year old. I've never forgotten them.
4 non blonds was great too.
Best singing duo ever! I saw this show on TV. Amazing.
Paul Simon is an amazing musician who lives in my town playing for free at our high school. His songs often move me to tears.
Its been a long time since I've heard it but still great
You're kidding 😲
wow, that's amazing!
He lives In your Town ??? Your Lucky next Time when You met him Say hello to me from Geneva ! He is great singer i really like him
Wow!
What a valuable footage of these two unforgettable musicians whose vocals blend so harmoniously! 😍🥰😘
Well said..agreed just beautiful!! X
Um hino ....um deleite ...nunca se cansa dessa obra prima ❤
In my opinion, one of the greatest songs, of any genre, ever made.
Fully Agree - Hauntily infectious.
😎
Zeker weten, zacht nummer om tot rust te komen in deze hektiche wereld,
Amen brother
One of the best songs that was ever written performed by two of the greatest voices i’ve ever heard.
This song gave me goosebumps when I was a child.
Now, 30 years later, it still give me goosebumps.
A masterpiece!
Moi 45 😞
It gave me goosebumps right now.
@hamishgunn9385 me too
Music is so powerful. Time travel. ❤
Thank you, Simon & Garfunkel, for sharing. I grew up listening to your music since 1974.
1960, Martin, S&G were from the beatnik era. Love the team!
Do you realise RUclips wasn't founded in 1974
@@abdulahihassan1529 Do you realize dat you don't need youtube to listen to music
Some music is timeless and lasts through the ages. This is one.
Pure beauty. No filters or auto tune. And timeless. 🤲🏽
Bela música e bem interptetada
I can't hear this often enough. The words, the melody, their harmony. Perfection, and timeless. Thank you S&G.
Solo nos queda resistir
In my opinion, this is one of the most powerful songs ever written.
Absolutely my friend.
It' s beautiful , i used it in my radio' program to say goodbye to my old doggy that passed away a week ago😢
I agree. But also very painful.
Your right. This songs is way before i was born but this is real music. Not that crap they mostly make this days
@@Izanami709 i'd like to think that things we find painful can bring us powerful experiences :)
The audience sure knows how to appreciate good harmonious melodies/lyrics. They sound like true appreciative fans
I presume you're being sarcastic?
Ticks me off like nothing else. Applauds of excitement at the start and in appreciation at the end is all good, but be immersed in the music while it's playing ffs (at least don't ruin other people's immersion). Depending on song and setting, dancing/jumping is acceptable. It's just an expression of what emotions the music gives you and gives something back to the artist.
@@johanrojassoderman5590 Uh oh it's the CONCERT COP :D
@@DekkarJr yeah, perhaps I went a bit overboard with that comment xD
I just get annoyed when the audience makes a lot of noise during an emotional performance.
The listen to Muddy Waters, Mannish boy you'll be surprised how the back vocals take a real role in the song
Eu, 🩷🇧🇷 estou ouvindo !!! É maravilhoso ouví-los !!!❤❤❤
When the lyric 10,000 people maybe more and the crowd responded....I got gooseflesh. Powerful.
I love when i get gooseflesh, but my favorite is duckskin honestly
??? psalm 91
Then after telling them to be quiet in the best way possible
Lindo demais. Do Brasil
Please never forget this song world.
Nobody wont this is The world
I beg of you
It‘s part of live
We can see it in the dark it’s a very powerful song
None of the fans of this song even understand what its about. If they did, we would have a very different world today. Sound of silence is louder than ever
I'"m now 81 and this is still one of my favorites!
I’m in my 80’s and this is it forever
Mr Anderson🕴🏻
Cool boomer
Amen!
The sound of silence s words just get to
Still Amazing ❤
doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this masterpiece. Always gets me emotional. Food for the soul.
@what's Popping? And now I no its not just me that tears up when I hear this song, it just hits me threw my heart every time❤️
My favourite Duo. I will listen to and play to their music for as long as I live.

masterpiece. no ear buds, no auto tune, just voices. pure talent. thanks for this timeless tune....

who are you , have drop q.t.
So true!!
Hard agree! Harmonists tend to be pitch correct. And they might be the best harmonists in our history.
I Love This Song! The music is catchy and the lyrics are interesting!💗
Nema danas ovakvih...
How disciplined does Paul Simon have to be to sing his harmony, a masterpiece
Paul’s amazing in every way. Love the guy always have, always will..💕💕

@@suehaden6103 He was so gorgeous back in the day!
Эта песня на века, и какая разница в каком году кто- то её слушает, она без времени, на все времена!
No autotune, just natural voices and a guitar, this song touches the soul! Their voices gives so much comfort and takes me down some of my best memory lane
❤
❤
Also no ear monitors. I couldn’t do those harmonies because I would start singing with the note I hear …
❤
Beautiful. I didn't appreciate their music as a teenager, but as a mature adult I think it is amazing.
Certain songs, cross generations, race and religions...this is such a song. While listening we can all forget the world's troubles, and concentrate on only the good. Simon & Garfunkel we salute you 👏 👏 👏
MUCH LOVE! HAREKRISHNA.GODBLESS❤️😊🙏

Perfect harmony from an era of good music, the genius of Simon and that wonderful voice of
Garfunkel melding into an unsurpassed classic of that era Thank you
I just ❤ this song so much... For so many good beautiful reasons...
One of the truly great songs of 60s. Considering the fantastic standards in those times, that is really saying something!
That is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs in all time
Anyone else still find comfort in this song? As if it’s speaking to you and like basically connects with you.😢❤️❤️

It's December 2021 and still to this day whenever I hear this song it still gives me goosebumps.....truly a masterpiece
I was young then, 16 now I'm 68 this song has to last "for ever", with love from Belgium
Same emotions, mate
Thought the same thing...eerie.
A powerful sound by S&G. It was taken to a whole new level in the masterful cover by Disturbed.
The park was special.
Art has to have one of the most amazing voices of all time!
Both
He's amazing!
XC. C'è
As a pure voice it is Garfunkel great harmonies together though
I grew up in the 60's. Beatles, etc. and Simon & Garfunkel. I was a hippie and loved all the 'relevant ' music. Kinda wish I could go back to that 'innocent' time. Today's 'music' is just a lot of noise.
It depends upon which "music" you're listening to. Look at Within Temptation, Delain, Nightwish, Disturbed, Hinder, The Calling. All of them have done great music.
Tbh, Disturbed is what brought me here. I loved their cover of this song, so I wanted to hear the original.
its sick how much great music that was dropped in the 60's. I was born 1992 and all i can say is this music that are topping the lists today is trash compared to what was dropped in the 60's. That folk-rock music mixed with the culture back then must've been a sweet time for you .
Still a great song, love it❤
This type of music will never die!
Even a thousand year later!
Ouve ela na versão brasileira amigo
You are 100% correct.
@@richardwilson6976 The Master Piece#All hail and Praise to Simon & Garfunkel. The Sound of Silence#Bridge Over Troubled Water#Bow!
It shows that talents, charisma and the right material combined make them shine the bightest stars of the moment. No other package was needed- no glits and blitz; no elegant suits, no mix of high quality accompaniment, but their hearts and souls sang it out in awesome melody to capture everyone present. I believe now that indeed
My god. You just answered my questions. I was wondering why this is so perfect, even though they hit wrong tones and stuff. I think the perfection lays in the imperfection. Today everything has to be perfect, every note gets corrected. Every video cost millions with ads and sponsors. And back then we just had the music and the message. Just wanted to spread out my random thoughts. I wish we would fight more for peace. But today I will be working again, for money. Ahhh rip.
Have you ever listened to Disturbed's cover of this song? Paul Simon loves it.
i agree
@@to2s134 orgignal version is better
This song is truly amazing. It brought back beautiful memories of my school days, back in the 70s. I am 64 and still feel like the song was composed yesterday. Amazing lyrics and amazing track!
They are fantastic

This is just a perfect piece of music isn't it?
This song will still be played in 100 years, one of the best duos ever. My respect
Simin and Garfunkel did good but David drained murdered this song

Will be played forever*
Disturbed cover is something special.
@@mladen2008 it's freaking brilliant. He sang it on Conan, I thought it was even better than his recorded version.
