It matters not my nationality.. or age.. but I get "picked on" for the different types of music I listen to. And I take it.. but then I hear this.. and I almost cry because it is so beautiful..and I suddenly don't feel no more the weight of those who still have not listened beyond their boundries...this rendition is beautiful beyond words.. God Bless!
I'm a 68-year-old American. I have always loved this song. But in my entire life I have never heard a better rendition of it. I'm crying right now that's how much it moved me. To the people of the world. We really do work so much better together than apart.
I second this statement. This is one of my favorite songs. And means so much to me. And this is a beautiful rendition of the song. A beautiful masterpiece. Thank you. I feel the love and soul you’ve put into this song. I’m obsessed ❤
I have listened to a wider and wider variety of music in the last two years, after facing a divorce that was freedom for me and the loss of my beloved father. Thank you for putting such beautiful music out there for others of different nations to enjoy.
I am an Italian and I am astonished by your performance.....this music is eternal.....trust me I have no words to express my feelings.........Great job!!!!
Girls! When anyone carries out of a cover of any music because it is known and probably loved all you can do is emulate it and do a good job of copying it, but you two have excelled in making the sound of silence Vibrate, vibrate with emotion, exceeding any other rendition I have ever heard before. Your instruments enhance the colour of the music and its sound, I am really impressed . Congratulations, wonderful.
From an American who was around when the original was released, let me say ... Well Done, ladies. So much depth from such deceptively simple-looking instruments. Just beautiful. You've done the song and yourselves an honor.
why are you even questioning it? obviously it's two different time periods of when they listened to the original song then to now in the present with it being orchestrated by somebody else. @@senseweaver01
oh my god i hve never heard anything so beautiful, the sound from that second instrument has me in tears, its such a haunting sound that resonates to my core
a lot of tenderness in this melody, music that takes us on a journey. Thank you Nini for offering us happiness with your instrument. You have a lot of grace ♥
This has changed a lot for me. The Hu track was at the end of a list of music I didn't know much about. So I hit D/L. It is part of a mix. My download window scrolls about 15 feet now. I will be 70 years old on friday 13. This mix will be on my hd by then. I will have a party. hope my neighbours enjoy !!
The original version of this song holds a *lot* of memories and emotions for me, so I tend to be very critical of any attempt to cover it. But this version is remarkable. Powerful. Totally evokative of the original and yet also very unique. When the bowed instrument came in (I'm sorry, I don't know what it's called) it soared in the same way that Art Garfunkle's voice soars, and I stopped breathing so I could hear it better. Just beautiful.
I love that there seems to be a movement in Asian countries, to preserve and revive their cultural musical instruments and styles. I always thought it was beautiful and unique, so seeing musicians now pushing back on the complete adoption of western musical instruments is gratifying.
I think the term "The West" was invented by autocrats to try to tar everything good from the lands where humans have achieved stable democracy with the all the bad things that the conservatives do similarly to autocrats whenever they occasionally grab power. Humans = humans. Beauty everywhere can be admired, but autocracy is nothing to be proud of.
mao revolutionists and cccp tries very much to destroy what old culture still exists - what is allowed to go on, is used for tourism. Do they still have real buddhists, daosist temples... traditional opera, and old style neighbourhoods? i dare to say even their martial arts styles kung fu aside of "competition show dancing 'wushu'" is preseved only in hongkong and foreign counrtries that had students learning in china from the now dead masters. So when i see these girls playing tradtitional instruments, and tradition songs in traditional warderobe sometimes (beautiful, much more so than modern shit the girls wear world wide) ...then i automatically assume it is outside of PRC. Singapore? taiwan? ...or expatriated chinese In sanfrancisco chinatown. If you look at the streets of shanghai and beijin these days.. just cars... cameras.. and cheap consume. Notthing of value. Chinese play european classical music better than the europeans... but few do play their own music as well.
I think the most beautiful part is the blending of the cultures. Honoring their traditional roots while adapting Western music. Music is one of the universal languages and it is beautiful how it can bring us together, even from across the globe. Perhaps, even across the universe.
really exceptional. impressive interpretation. the slow tempo, the sounds of the two instruments perfectly synchronized. the music. for this humanity will go forward. very sensitive interpretation. congratulations
Can't say that as I and a hard-core fan of the Org. But Its dam Good and Art is in the Eye of the Beholder as music is the Ear of the Beholder But its right up there with the Org Version Music like good people can cross time as space as they say Very well done from the first note to the last Take care and be safe as life is full of amazing people and those who make music can make one forget the troubles of the day or bring back good memories of the past. And with out them the world would be darker place Take care
As a young college student studying Asia and learning Japanese (nihongo) I collected many Japanese traditional music albums (yeah, ancient). To hear those beautiful Asian tones on a western song is unique and still exotic.
Well done, I was surprised by how much. I love the fact that you can bring your culture to us with such warmth and and beauty. Your years of practice have paid off and we are grateful for your sharing.
WOW, absolutely fantastic!! You and your sister brought a whole new vibe to that song. Those instruments were just made to play that song, or maybe that song was made to be played on them! Either way it was beautiful to listen to. Be proud of what you have done and thank you for sharing with us. I LOVED IT! Keep rocking Nini, I am going to try and join your stream later. Hugs to you! 🤩💖🌹🌹🎸🤘
I'm Nigerian 🇳🇬, heard the original, but there's this unique twist that your instrument brings to this music and I love it You've just earned a new Nigerian subscriber ❤️❤️❤️
What a marvelous interpretation of a classic. You have used your instruments with there own unique sound and captured the spirit of the original. Well done ladies.
This song definitely will be use for my Chinese Era D&D Session. One of the party has died in their last battle, so this is fitting for him since he likes metal music a lot. Thanks for putting this out for me to find lol.
OMG! Perfection. Simply perfect. You young ladies have brought tears to this old man's eyes. I saw Simon & Garfunkel when they performed in front of about 200,000 people in Central Park, New York City years ago. Had you performed this back then on that stage you would still be hearing the applause to this day! Thank you for sharing your talents!!!
Have loved this song since I first heard it in the mid-1960s by Simon & Garfunkle, but this truly a stellar new interpretation. Congratulations, and thank you! 非常感谢你！
And you didn’t disappoint , you both brought such a fresh and beautiful approach to one of the most emotive Melodie’s ever written, your skills musicianship combined with the traditional instruments is just stunning 🎶🎶🎶🙏
@@kristinelson5894 It is a type of ruan, a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument. The Zhongruan 中阮 is also known as the moon guitar that appears much later in Chinese history compared to other Chinese traditional instruments.

Two beautiful ladies with a beautiful song! What more could you want? ❤
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Simon and Garfunkel would be proud...and impressed.
💯
Totally agree
Indeed!
Got goosebumps when the bowed instrument started playing.
The two girls are masters. It raised the hair on the back of my neck. This performance was ethereal.
As a cello player, I absolutely love traditional instruments playing modern music… it’s an incredible combination 🤘🏼🤗💙💙💙💙💙
@@richardlevangie8733 You had me at cello.
A beautiful rendition, from a different point of view, from another country, with unique instruments and beautiful ladies. Continue blessing us.
Simply awesome!!!
Good morning 🌄
I couldn’t agree more!
Now we are talking fusion rock
I have listened to a wider and wider variety of music in the last two years, after facing a divorce that was freedom for me and the loss of my beloved father. Thank you for putting such beautiful music out there for others of different nations to enjoy.
So very sorry! I too went through what you did! Things get better my friend! Just give this time! Yu be happy! Ok?
I am an Italian and I am astonished by your performance.....this music is eternal.....trust me I have no words to express my feelings.........Great job!!!!

@@leedegnan2040 Thank you very much! God bless you!
So sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and your family. Music always triggers our emotions. These two ladies also touched me playing this song.
You’re on RUclips on the day of your dads funeral?
i am so sorry :(
Amazing arrangement! The opening was good, but when the erhu came in it literally brought tears to my eyes.
It began beautiful... Then the second instrument kicked in and i felt ice and lightning in my spine.
Awe inspiring.
❤️
From a Canadian.
Such a beautiful rendition.
Please don't stop playing.
@@tjb968 the lyrics, melody and music 🎶💖are spectacular
Excellent version of this hauntingly beautiful classic from the 60s.

Beautiful sisters making beautiful music. Coolest thing ever 😎
songs that are played on traditional instruments is always amazing
But more amazing are the people playing those instruments
thank you
just lovely ❤
Beautiful. Well done. Your instruments give this the haunting spirit that it deserves.

Nick thanks so much for this kind and loving comment 💖🙏🏼 hope you have a wonderful day
I'm agreed with your commentary, dude.
I love this cover. It almost evokes more feeling than the original especially because these girls didn't "muddy the water" with lyrics ❤.
@@NiniMusic thank you very much the music ok
The best play of this music I ever heard, those instrument's perfect.
From an American who was around when the original was released, let me say ... Well Done, ladies. So much depth from such deceptively simple-looking instruments. Just beautiful. You've done the song and yourselves an honor.
Well said indeed.
What does your age have to do with anything?
@@senseweaver01 gives him a superiority complex, comes with growing up in that time and place...
Pretty good
why are you even questioning it? obviously it's two different time periods of when they listened to the original song then to now in the present with it being orchestrated by somebody else. @@senseweaver01
oh my god i hve never heard anything so beautiful, the sound from that second instrument has me in tears, its such a haunting sound that resonates to my core
Wow, thank you!
I called it eerie.
The sound of " ERHU "
I'm surprised they don't have a million likes and views. They are incredible!!!
Aww you’re so sweet! Thank you! Maybe one day 💖🙏🏼
I agree,. There should be more than shown. I love this version and the instruments
Great music never seems to have millions of views, but play two notes.......G,G,G,AAA, GGG, AAA, and bam everyone's listening.
Amazing talent greetings from New Zealand love that soft but very powerful style of music

Amazing performance!!!
All the best.

disturbed and Nini have made the best cover for this song.
The Erhu kicking in was just a punch to the gut. So beautiful.
There is nothing that she and her sister cannot do that touches our very soul and put music into our lives ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I agree, whole heartedly✌️😎
One of the best instrumental covers of this beautiful song that i have ever heard!! Just beautiful. 💜
a lot of tenderness in this melody, music that takes us on a journey. Thank you Nini for offering us happiness with your instrument. You have a lot of grace ♥
If silence sounds like this, then it is truly glorious.❤
I'm still loving this, one of the best music videos out there in my opinion.
My lord, such beauty and talent. The combination of THOSE girls playing THOSE instruments for that song is truly remarkable.
My heart swells to all walks of the sound of silence
This was written by a genius who drew on some power beyond the normal scope of humanity, and performed here by a couple of very talented ladies.
I had to listen again it is so beautiful
This has changed a lot for me. The Hu track was at the end of a list of music I didn't know much about. So I hit D/L. It is part of a mix. My download window scrolls about 15 feet now. I will be 70 years old on friday 13. This mix will be on my hd by then. I will have a party. hope my neighbours enjoy !!

I love the way Nini introduces old hits to new generations.
Wow... what a beautiful version. Wow.. Amazing.
Thanks for listening
THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD. THANK YOU. COME TO AMERICA AND PLAY THIS ON AMERICA'S GOT TALENT, YOU LADIES WOULD DIFFERENTLY WILL WIN..
I got the chills from this, that feeling of hearing and experiencing something special
This is *beautiful.* You've taken the original song and remained true to it while making it epically your own.
Two beautiful gals. Truly touched my heart. Absolutely gorgeous.
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER!
very unexpected how deeply this performance touched me.. ❤
Same here........Very unexpected......Very profound.
I love that there seems to be a movement in Asian countries, to preserve and revive their cultural musical instruments and styles.

Humans = humans. Beauty everywhere can be admired, but autocracy is nothing to be proud of.
You should watch the movie Our Shining Days - about a conflict between traditional Chinese instruments vs. western classical in a high school.
mao revolutionists and cccp tries very much to destroy what old culture still exists - what is allowed to go on, is used for tourism. Do they still have real buddhists, daosist temples... traditional opera, and old style neighbourhoods?
i dare to say even their martial arts styles kung fu aside of "competition show dancing 'wushu'"

So when i see these girls playing tradtitional instruments, and tradition songs in traditional warderobe sometimes (beautiful, much more so than modern shit the girls wear world wide)
...then i automatically assume it is outside of PRC.
Singapore? taiwan? ...or expatriated chinese
In sanfrancisco chinatown.
If you look at the streets of shanghai and beijin these days.. just cars... cameras.. and cheap consume. Notthing of value. Chinese play european classical music better than the europeans... but few do play their own music as well.

This is incredible. I love this song. You brought this song back to life, thank you. YOU ROCK!!!
NiNi的中阮樂音古老神秘加上Joy二胡的空靈幽美可說是絕配，編織出一幅美麗的音畫。之前有外國人期待妳倆能再合奏老鷹之歌，相似的曲風而同樣雋永動聽，相信能夠再創聲量高潮，祝福妳們。
Refreshing take on an old tune. The string instrument (whatever it is) is haunting. Well done.
Absolutely amazing!

The erhu is a Chinese two-stringed bowed musical instrument, 😀
What's the name of the other instrument?
@@kristinelson5894 It is a type of ruan, a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument. The Zhongruan 中阮 is also known as the moon guitar that appears much later in Chinese history compared to other Chinese traditional instruments.
