    Chorus:
    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

    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.

    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"

    LYRICS:
    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 shared
    And 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 its warning
    In the words that it was forming
    And the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls"
    And whispered in the sounds of silence.

      very good until the last few lines where there are a few mistakes. 1. "And the sign flashed its warning" is correct - not flashed "out"
      2. "And the sign said...", not "then" the sign said. 3. "and tenement halls" - not "in tenement halls." 4. "whispered in the sounds...", not whispered in the sound.

      O Som do Silêncio
      Olá, escuridão, minha velha amiga
      Vim conversar com você outra vez
      Porque uma visão surgiu mansamente
      Deixou suas sementes enquanto eu dormia
      E a visão que foi plantada em meu cérebro
      Ainda permanece
      Dentro do som do silêncio
      Em sonhos atormentados, eu caminhei sozinho
      Ruas estreitas de paralelepípedos
      Sob a luz de um poste de rua
      Levantei minha gola contra o frio e a umidade
      Quando meus olhos foram apunhalados pelo brilho de uma luz de neon
      Que partiu a noite
      E tocou o som do silêncio
      E na luz nua eu vi
      Dez mil pessoas, talvez mais
      Pessoas falando sem dizer
      Pessoas ouvindo sem escutar
      Pessoas escrevendo canções que vozes jamais compartilharam
      E ninguém ousava
      Perturbar o som do silêncio
      Tolos, eu disse, vocês não sabem?
      O silêncio cresce como um câncer
      Escutem-me, que talvez eu possa ensiná-los
      Peguem meus braços, que talvez eu possa alcançá-los
      Mas minhas palavras caíram como gotas silenciosas de chuva
      E ecoaram nos poços do silêncio
      E as pessoas se curvaram e rezaram
      Para o deus de neon que elas criaram
      E a placa mostrou o seu aviso
      Nas palavras que formava
      E a placa dizia
      As palavras dos profetas estão escritas nas paredes do metrô
      E nos corredores dos cortiços
      E são sussurradas ao som do silêncio

      Not taking anything away from Simon and Garfunekl but I think 'Disturbed' version of this song is out of this world.

    Great performers lovely song. Reminds me of my wife who told me when I first met her she sang this in the school choir. That was 53 years ago. I still love her to bits.
