This is one of my favorite songs of all time, the original version is the best imo! Simon and Garfunkel were so popular when I was in college and I think I played their albums until they wore out.
One suggestion: when you pause a song, try to back it up a few seconds to maintain the continuity of the song. Something is usually lost if you just stop-start.
"the sounds of silence" refers to the disease of apathy as multitudes of people remain silent as they witness injustice all around them. its in fact, a call to action! its sad how many beloved songs that call for action but go unheeded as apathy and hate continue to litter the landscape of human society. silence can indeed be deafening!
No, it is about the lack of desire to connect with others. People caught up in their own lives and ignoring the people around them. Just look at people with their faces buried in their cell phones and you will get it. People all around us and we live in our own little worlds, refusing and not wanting to engage with others. You obviously didn't listen to the meaning of the lyrics. Go look up what Art Garfunkel had to say about it.
I'm listening to this beautiful song close to 60 years and still love it. One of the greatest duos ever along with the Righteous Brothers and Everly Brothers. You have good musical taste. Best success on yr channel!!
You caught it, this was the warning, & Disturbed's version is the anger that it seems that no one did. Look at the world when that was recorded, & look at now. SO much could have been prevented. I was a child then, a grandmother now. I'm mad as hell.
Masterpiece. Very rarely does any cover do justice to the original because it takes the true context of the message and what it meant in that era and changes it.
It's poetry put to music. Paul Simon wrote the song. Check out their song, "I Am A Rock, I Am An Island.", and the fabulous, "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
Hi Blessing, Thank you for reacting to the original by Simon & Garfunkel...Which is the version I prefer...So smooth & delightful to the ear!!! your buddy, CR SoundDoctor
This was probably the thousandth time I heard this song. Loved it since it came out in the 1960's, and I'm glad you reacted to it. In concerts they often do an acoustic version which I prefer for this song. Great reaction.
Excellent choice Bright Eyes, they put out so many hits over the years together.. you should check out Scarborough Fair and the boxer if you get a chance, I think you'll like them... I have you always look forward to everything you put out and I'm looking forward to the next one 💕💕💕🤗🥰🥰😘😘😘😍😍😍
I love this song and this was a great reaction by you as usual. You are so musically sensitive and I love the observations you make about why the music in any given song has the quality that it does. As I like to say, you are truly a blessing! And here's to your next reaction! 🙏🙂💜
Oddly enough i`m sat here with my 2 Simon and Garfunkel albums (still collect masses of vinyl) and I don`t think anyone has ever come close to the originals, pure, simple, meaningful, soulful and touching from a time when singing was all it took. Nice reaction and beautiful as ever. You could try Homeward Bound by them, Paul Simon wrote after sitting at a railway station in England thinking of,,,home
This was originally an acoustic song and it failed to make a dent in the charts when release in March 1965. Simon & Garfunkel's debut LP (Wednesday Morning, 3 AM) was a commercial flop and the team broke up and they went separate ways. Simon moved to England to pursue a solo career and Garfunkel enrolled into Columbia University in NYC. As noted in a previous comment [Mark Thompson], the original recording was remixed by their producer Tom Wilson (he simply added an electric guitar plus a drum track) and re-released it as a single in September 1965. The remix was done without the knowledge of S&G until after the song was re-released. Due to the success of the 'electric' version - which hit #1 in the US charts by January 1966 - the duo were reunited and quickly recorded an LP to capitalize on their new found success. Such an amazing twist of fate for what ended up being one of the most iconic groups that established the folk-rock era.
This version was meant to awaken us to our silence! Disturbed version was meant as a warning we are still not listening to oneanother! We have Become Comfortably Numb to our silence! " your lips move but I can't hear what you are saying " " my words like silent rain drops fell".❤!
I've seen this being called many names, The Sound of Silence, The Sounds of Silence, Sounds of Silence and Sound of Silence. The last one, Sound of Silence, is the correct name of the song.
This song is DNA, actually the whole album is. When we were kids we’d go up and out on the roof with a blanket and my transistor radio listening to Wolfman Jack and they played this song a lot.
I'm an old guy, and was about 6 when this was recorded but I'm amazed when someone says I'm a singer-songwriter (who works in English) and I'm listening to S&G Sound of Silence for the first time. It's like I just found out about this band for the first time, they're called The Beatles or I'm a Gospel song writer and just heard this new song, Amazing Grace!
@@MrsPenPal I am sure you know many songs that I don't know. But then again I'm not in the music business. I didn't mean any insult, I was just surprised.
Thanks for your reply. No offence taken, I was merely pointing out how so diverse human experiences can be and I used the example to throw more light on topic
Iconic does not equate universal but there is a first time for everything. l bet there are songs with billions of views you’ve never heard of or seen. That’s the beauty of life and diversity
Ha ha ha you have foresight Glenn. I don’t know if you know this but I actually have a second channel where I do original music. I have a new music video just release called “Sunshine”. Here you go; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FwUCwGZGcJo.html Join me there. Remember to subscribe so you’d be the first to know when there is a new upload.
This is beautiful 🤩 Music seems to have the ability to dissolve time and space so that we are met with feeling and emotion of the writer, the performer no matter the age. I love the deeply personal expressions. Mozart's 'Requiem', Tchaikovsky's '6th symphony', The Beatles 'Abbey road Medley' off 'Abbey road' , 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' by Neil Young, 'Strange Fruit' Billy Holiday . ... I could go on. Joni Mitchell 'a case of you (Blue)' ... perhaps Simon and Garfunkel's 'bridge over troubled water' might make my list .... do try some of these MrsPP 🤩
Fun fact: in the early 60's Columbia Records put together a folk trio group called The Pilgrims as their answer to Warner Records very popular hit folk trio Peter Paul and Mary. A then little known songwriter working in Tin Pan Alley came to the studio to shop a song that the Pilgrims' producer hoped to include on their debut album. He asked the songwriter to record a demo of the song for the Pilgrims to rehearse, but when he heard the song sung by the songwriter and his buddy he immediately gave them a contract to record it themselves, and the Pilgrims' debut album 'Just Arrived' was released without that song. The songwriter was Paul Simon, his buddy was Art Garfunkel, the song was 'Song Of Silence'. The lead singer of The Pilgrims was a black former soldier, who was also enjoying a successful career as an opera singer, dancer, musical and stage and Broadway actor and concert singer. He later had a very successful career on two hit tv sitcoms, 'Soap' and 'Benson'. His name was Robert Guillaume. P.S. there are RU-vid videos of him singing another Simon and Garfunkel hit 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' live.
Something Quite depressing in the late 60. Then Simon and Garfunkel came along and bridge that gap. Their songs reflected a lot of how the times felt back then.
Now you get it. Sometimes the original version is by far the best. Pentatonix does a very good job with it too. If you ever want to set yourself apart from the pack check out I Dreamed a Dream by Leah Solanga at the Les Misarable’ 25th anniversary show. Perfection.
SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, "SOUND OF SILENCE" IT WAS AN EPIC HIT. THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT IS, WAS WRITTEN BY PAUL SIMON. AS WAS "BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE WATER", "THE BOXER", "MRS. ROBINSON" "SCARBOROUGH AFFAIR", "CECELIA" "HOMEWARD BOUND" "I AM A ROCK".
Here's my bias when I was a young boy I had Simon and Garfunkel's greatest Hits all their best bridge over troubled water Mrs Robinson sounds of silence the boxer so I'm biased in my opinion of sound of silence versus Disturbed sound of silence I mean disturbs okay but I don't get that special feeling from Disturbed that I get from sound of silence by our Garfunkel I think his voice is beautiful I think the instrumentation is beautiful and I want you to know I'm a metalhead my favorite band is Metallica and Black Sabbath I'm a metalhead and I love sound of silence thank you
I don’t get the disturbed infatuation but I guess probably because i have this vinyl. Even here she mentions what disturbed achieved but all I hear is generic death metal . You can any song in that tone.
I'm not one to really get into lyrics - I generally just take the melody and beat and get caught in the music of a song. But this song is possibly the greatest lyrical song ever written. So there really is no point in "covering" this song. The words and the original music are all you need. Disturbed should be put on the dust heap of history.
This is beautiful, but it's not the original. This is the 1965 remix that added electric guitar bass and drums and was also released on their 1966 album "Sounds of Silence." The original was released in 1964 on their debut album, Wednesday Morning, 3AM."
These are copyrighted songs. They block whatever video they choose . You have to give your commentary in between or else you could get blocked for uploading someone else work on your channel. it’s a reaction for you but it doesn’t matter to the corporation. I have songs no one can see because of playing through. I am explaining this to you in the simplest way I can. The situation is worse than you think
