Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (from The Concert in Central Park) 

God bless you

Thank you, God Bless you, too. I feel very blessed to have had those special times with her. In dying, she taught me so much about living.

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.

god bless you

Follow your dream

That's very cool 😁

K&S office my English professor asked me to listen to S G

the ways of destiny are so amazing

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.

ここにいるよ。聴いてるよ。今は悲しみの中かもしれませんが、乗り越え、お父様に恥ずかしくない人生を歩んでいってください。

😢😢😢😢😢

Люблю слушать эту песню! И только в этом исполнении. Мне 73 года.

Jest nowa wersja 👍

Yes, it's just been remixed so of course, we all want to hear the original.

April 11,2024 😊 Hi

Mindig jön valaki! 🤓

@@bandibunko1359 mai napig hallgatható, nem öregedett. a mondanivalója se sajnos...

Me i think its the best English sad song

Esta canção me emoziona para sempre

Emozionante

Will always...

ME 🙋‍♀️ and always will !!!!!!!!!!

Because they have real talent and skill

They actually had something to say, this is all

They and others like them in their time are the pioneers of music. It is because of these guys that music has reached such popularity

They were my very first concert in New Brunswick, NJ at Rutgers University.

That is TRUE music!

always depends on the band big explosions and fireworks are also ok look at rammstein ... Till suffers from stage fright

A twerking Garfunkel?

so true , just 2 geniuses singing a song of memories that give such pleasure

Bro said no twerking 😭

Good music dies not need anything else , its self is the show.

❤

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔

Möge seine Seele in Frieden ruhen.

😭😭😭

😂

Are new yorkers usually not well behaved?

They say silence is golden & I think I agree, great song 🎵 👍 👌

Great

Not greatest but top 10 for sure

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

I would agree. From the first time I heard it as a young boy, this song has captivated me.

townstar1 wow thats some wonderfull list sir!

I totally agree

So true. Never to be recaptured 💔😢

I could listen to this here thanks to modern technology.

​@@geo3106Like a drug that can come to a poison, it's a question of dosage. In my opinion, we're passing this hurdle with technology, confusing innovation with progress.

@@qdzzquentin8117 Could agree on that one.

@@geo3106 I am talking about that period of time. Not today.

apt for today

@@Rustymouse very sad. But the foretelling is spot on.

@@Gung_Ho_Vids if you liked this one check out the disturbed version.

@@c_lo01 I did. This version by the original artists is the best in my opinion.

Why would you need firework for like this anyway

Kpoop

You're right :)

What's wrong with fireworks? Haha fireworks are cool, but I agree with you, this is dope with or without fireworks :')

Exactly. No ridiculous outfits. No dancing and jumping around. No need for two dozen back up dancers.

From one of the great albums of all time

Disturbed's is crazily better

Disturbed do an amazing version of it

The Version of Disturbed is beautiful, too 👌🏻

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

Hello Christine, how is things going with you ?

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.

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 ; 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...

my condolences, may he rest in peace, courage bro 🕊

🤍 condolences and healing 🕊️

Heads up brother , chin up to the sky

peace on the world , be one !

M C Danis • Hi there. I'm your age and agree with every word you said. I praise your comment.

Q we are truly blessed to have had to the music and lyrics of the highest quality and serenity. We were part of the gifted generations. 👌👍❤️❤️😋

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 am 67 Great song。

Me too. Goosebumps all over

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.

@@sangkwanwong6486 this title is eternal whether in 1969/1981 or now

From Hungary ❤

yes

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.

Wow. Thanks. I remember when it come out. It is still an awesome song.

Thanks

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

Thank you for the words, much appreciated.

Wzruszyłam się,wszystkiego dobrego

With voices of angels and songwriting skills of a genius. That's what music not autotune and appearance

@@Jabarri74 Sadly, it's what drove the wedge between them. Paul was absolute amazing songwriter, but his singing skill were pretty mediocre (if he had to do solo). Art was very poor writer, but was probably one of best voices and talents of his generation.

Preston Alopea I love❤️💕 it

@@veronicaherrera7586 hello.. 🙏🏻

That line, "Writing songs that voices never shared", when I was a tiny child I remember not really understanding. But as I grew older, I did. Our society is filled with stuff and crap that last about ten minutes. Then a year later no-one remembers it. Same with music. But THIS music will still be played in 100 years time.

與你同在

Four decides ago.❤❤❤Gracias gracias gracias

Decade

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"

U will hear it together forever I hope

I suspect you will, in due time. Don'f forget...you are a child of the Universe [as was your husband].

That’s right.❤️❤️

You forgot 1970 This song is a Masterpiece, 1980 ..., 1990 ....

And still a masterpiece forever👍🏻

This song is one of the few masterpieces and will touch the heart and soul of those of us who care about this WORLD FOREVER. I say bring it back. Make it number 1.

2690-its a masterpiece

I love and appreciate this music more every time I hear it. Where did good music go. Where is this world going? We all need to stop and listen to the sounds of silence. People talking without listening. Brilliant. Let's keep this music going people.

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

Well it is a good song, but only one among millions of others. Stop being such a America intro-guy. Open your mind, hear, appreciate, understand other cultures and music, stop being such a self-centered American. Many, many other songs are better and a lot more thoughtful such as the german "Die Gedanken sind frei". A lot more deeper and brighter than the Beatles, the Stones, Dylan, and Simon and Garfunkel and others.

*Tika* ...i think we call that, a "manner of speaking"? It is like this: when we say things like "forever", or most uses of absolutes like "always", "never" etc. These are not meant to be taken literally. They are used in hyperbole. Similarly, if Art Garfunkel is considered "One of the most under-rated singers of all time" it is not a literal statement. Not only is it hyperbolic, but it is really a reflection of one person's necessarily limited range of experience, exposure, and assimilation of those things. For example, i often state "Fats Waller! Greatest entertainer ever!" Do i literally mean that? Well, i only said it because within my range of musical "likes" this is true. It is a personal truth. It is a sentimental expression though. Do i really think Fats Waller any better than Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, or Count Basie? The answer: it doesn't matter because i love them all, and the question which is greatest depends upon the mood i am in at the moment. I am not much of a Simon & Garfunkle fan. That has nothing to do with their song writing and singing -both of which i deem excellent. Do i literally agree with the original post? No! Of course not! But it is not intended to be understood that way. But i also think i understand what he was trying to communicate, and his statement is something i can both agree and disagree with at the same time -because statements like this are intended to be understood in terms of nuance -layers -generalization -proximity. I think the bigger question here, is why you have to pour hate down on some one for making a sentimental expression like this, which is obviously going to be boxed within the confines of his personal artistic tastes? You are demanding an awful lot from a human being if you are expecting one to make declarations of divine authority and holy truth when they express their opinion. If that is what you really want some one else to perform for you when they speak (or write), then what you are really asking for is a God-King, here on earth. In America, we are good with God -because he is intangible, so we can't crucify him again. But we don't much care for kings, and we have a long tradition of feeling that way about them, and persons who would make themselves kings.

Robert I agree he was indeed a great singer. Regards and have a nice day.

@doug phil thanks

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. 👍
