First Voice: 1:18 Second Voice: 2:14 Lyrics (first verse): 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 harmonies, especially when there are two parts, you might want to consider using stereo so that melody is played only through one side and harmony part is played through the other. That way the listener can use the left-right balance to hear harmony or melody more strongly. Or, simply move one side of earphone set a little further from the ear. Thanks for your lessons.
@@FlaviaFlash same here, al though i will add i do actually enjoy the slight accent you can barely hear, fits very well with the song if you know a little about italien history and how speaking up have been very important through out italys history and seems to be a very important key factor in italy again.
I cannot sing harmony ... probably because I've had no training for it. Harmony certainly does not come naturally to me. Listening to _Sound of Silence_ over the years made me notice Paul Simon's lower harmony and I listened very carefully. For many, many years now I've been trying to sing the lower harmony (as it suits my voice better) but I always get distracted by Art Garfunkel's higher voice. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Hit send too early sorry... even with an old tv they have video and audio(the two white and red cords) inputs. Plug in one and hit play to learn the melody/harmony.
That's so cool to hear you're studying them. Just listening to Pet Sounds, Smile, In my Room, Don't Worry Baby, Surfer Girl, etc. will show you how beautiful and intricate their harmonies all were. Brian Wilson was a genius, just like the Beatles and S&G. I swear, the 60's and 70's spawned some of the greatest and most innovative music that most of today's songs don't even hold a match to......
Thank you for adding to my education. Perfectly on task. I would encourage all that could to patronize his efforts. I will if ever comes a time that I don't have the time to devote to such awesome vids.
Well I'm a rebel cuz I added a third harmony. I've always added a third harmony when I listen to Simon and Garfunkel. I like to toss in some dissonance with augmented and/or diminished chords.
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
This was just what I needed! I was trying to work out the harmonies to this so I could sing it with my girlfriend and here you've done all the work for me! Thanks.
I love that you've added Simon and Garfunkel - I was thinking of suggestint that to you after I enjoyed the Beatles ones so much. Perhaps you could also consider some of The Eagles songs too - marvelous harmonies "One of these nights", "Take it Easy" etc.
This is a great help with a harmony that has fascinated me for years. The only criticism that I would have is that the tempo is slightly too fast. But... thank you
Can you make some of these? The Eagles - Hotel California The Eagles - Love Will Keep Us Alive The Eagles - Take It Easy The Eagles - Take It To The Limit Extreme - More Than Words Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love
Rapaz....até que enfim, acho que Deus ouviu minhas preces pois voce publicou uma música que não é dos Beatles, Beatles é top mas tem outras bandas que tem boas harmonias vocais, Bee Gees, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, ois próprios Simon and Garfunkel.....valeu amigo...já é um começo! Um abraço Cesar
Another fascinating, enlightening, inspiring, breakdown of a beautiful harmony song. And nice visuals in your video that you've taken the time to do. Well done!
Hello, Imcarrying and learnvocalharmony. You are the most talented teacher I've seen on RU-vid, by far. I would be eternally grateful if you do some Alice in Chains songs who are famous for vocal harmonies, particularly the songs, Died, Junkhead, Sunshine
Leon y LaMar// Los Esferos Exactly ! I just listened to this and had no idea how low Paul was singing. I guess I always locked onto Art's high harmony. Very cool !
Paul Simon doesn't sing it the way it was originally recorded anymore. When they performed it at their reunion concert at Madison Square Garden in October 2009, Art Garfunkel sang it in D Minor one octave lower than the original recording, and Paul Simon harmonized one major interval below him.
This is awesome. I do karaoke duets with a friend and we will do this song now after "hearing and learning" the harmonies. Thanks so much for posting this and the other training videos.
I love your music but especially the mix down and effects. Specifically what settings are you using for compression, reverb, and other effects including mastering? Thanks.....
wow I didn't even noticed that. Which is Paul and Garfunkel in the beginning of the vid? I never noticed there's a harmonize voice in this song but nice job!
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
Hey Gale, you could make a lesson of the song "Another Day In Paradise" by Phil Collins. It's a great song, and the vocal harmonies are very good too. just a suggestion.
Thank you so much, I've tried to figure out this harmony for ages, I got the higher voice allright, but since I'm an alto, it never turned out right...guess I'm Simon ! Could you also do More than words by Extreme whenever you feel like it? Thanks in advance !!!
Hey man you have a really nice voice. Do you compose your own material? you should I think :) May I ask you a question.. HAve you studied vocal technique? I am studying and trying to improve my voice and range, hoping that withing time and practice it will come... Looking forward to hear more of your videos!! Toni
GALEAZZO: YOU "YOU THE GRAT MASTER" ("YODA FROM THE STAR WARS") THANKS FOR SHOW TO THE WORLD YOUR TALENT& SHARE YOUR TIME WITH ALL THE LOVERS OF MUSIC. GREETINGS FROM MEXICO CITY (America). GOD bless The United Kingdom & U.S.A. January,23th,2014. F E R N Y.
This is great! I'll be very glad when you post videos teaching some of the Beach Boys' songs. Nobody does this. By the way, could you do Never, My Love, by The Association? Great harmonies on this one :)
Is this available in true stereo? I tried to listen to the combined vocals using just one half of my headphones to practice along with, but I could still hear too much of both. :( Thank you for this wonderful video!
