The Sound of Silence - Cody Fry [Score Video] 

CODY FRY AND SLEEPING AT LAST?? BEST COLLAB EVERRR

9 minutes ago, Cody Fry uploaded the score video to what is essentially his Variations On A Theme by Garfunkel. And I love every second.

Please never stop making epic 6 minute orchestral versions of classic pop music.

That tritone modulation is INSANE

Cody will never disappoint with the French horns, i love that no matter what, the French horns will have their moment in a cody Fry song, love you - a French horn player

THE MAD MAN HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!! I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR ANOTHER AMAZING PIECE BY CODY FRY!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This song is evoking a futuristic fantasy space opera, and not because of the Holst inspiration. The instrumentation at the beginning invokes dancing among the stars in my eyes. As soon as the singing starts it morphs into a dissonant longing, like someone looking through a port hole at the cosmos around remembering what has been lost. Wars on a cosmic scale, angelic voices calling ones soul home, embraces of a loved one, victory in war, remembering all who were lost. That is the entire story that has just gone through my head listening to this. I do know what the original song is about, but this arrangement evokes this story in my minds eye. Lovely. Absolutely lovely. Thank you.

Dude as a musical nerd, that key change gave me literal goosebumps

no better combo than Cody Fry & Sleeping at Last

I absolutely love the fact that the vocals take inspiration from the original (Simon & Garfunkel) version. It sounds amazing!

I love the range that Cody Fry songs cover, from Golden, one of my favorite funk songs, to this, and excellent orchestral.

I haven't listened to the whole thing yet but as soon as I saw Sleeping At Last I broke the like button.

My heart stopped when I saw Sleeping At Last. A collab I wasn't expecting but fully support...

This is an incredible arrangement. The word play is amazing with how you orchestrate to match the lyrics. It really makes me think of your Eleanor Rigby arrangement, I love it!

Oh my... Those are the only words necessary, and that change to the E MINOR is sooo pretty I can't express how much I love the cool chord changes, especially with the tritones and the dorians, please keep doing that in your songs we need to keep it alive in music

This was the most mind wracking thing I've heard in so long. The shifts just swallow you up whole and there's no way out. I don't want a way out. Thank you Cody and Sleeping at Last.

Ryan and Cody's voices together are truly something special 😍

YOU. DID. IT. AGAIN. This version brings me to tears. What an incredible job, dude. You're amazing!!!

Cody, Holy shit. I saw you premiere this with the SLSO and I was brought to tears then, now sitting on the couch with my favorite headphones just appalled by the the stunning mixing and production to highlight your insanely delicate and elegant writing??? Full stop, full sobs. Music like this has no boundaries, because you, sir, have broken them all down. This piece speaks. It's not only because of how powerful the song itself originally was, but now because of how you've presented it. The wind, the way the violin sings, the way you've mastered that tritonal modulation!! It took my breath away and in it's place was this beautiful echo of this piece. Seriously this has to be one of the best pieces of music you have ever covered. Thank you.

I have been listening to this song over and over and over and over again just crying because of how moving it is. Your music is the only music that has ever truly invoked such strong emotions in me

lol idk what it is, but Cody’s music and arrangements are so genius. This is the kinda stuff that makes you want to dig deeper into orchestral music (which I did! Debussy is a boss). This is awesome!!!!!!!

I have never heard an orchestration like it. Masterful arranging, especially after the modulation, and then up another gear with the second modulation, towards the climax. Simply incredible sound and I don't say that lightly 🙂

Oh yes, another great one!

I used to play the French Horn in school for 5 years, seeing my instrument being included makes me wish I could still play it.❤💕

OH MY GOD. I LITERALLY GOT CHILLS FROM THIS!! You never fail to impress and surprise me. THANK YOU!

Another great masterpiece as always, Cody! Here before this one hits the millions

I can't express how grateful I am to see music like this being made. It's so next level gorgeous....I pray Cody never stops setting hearts soaring. The world needs this kind of music.

And this ladies and gents is what a true musician sounds like!!!!! Just brilliant!!!!

my dream collab finally happened! this music feels like it can cure my sickness while im at work right now 😭💯

I swear he deserve to do a og soundtrack for an epic movie pleaseeee

Can we make these kind of collabs mainstream? Mind BLOWN! 🤯

i LOVE when you appear on my recommended because this AWSOME and im going to re-listen to this over and over

the tritone... I'm screaming right now

The tritone modulation sent chills down my entire body

Look sir, you can't make me cry while I'm driving like that (I was listening on Spotify NOT watching the video! 😅)

NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE EARLY TO A CODY FRY VIDEO????? BUT HOLYYYYY CRAP THIS IS GOOD

The „Fix you“ arrangement has been dethroned in my personal favorites by this masterpiece

Horns, page 22, b6 sound ... Just love it when you do that.

It's an incredibly impressive, vibrant and immersive experience!!

Here before this hits millions!✋🏼

this is like.... dream theatre but cody fry. holy damn

the part at 1:00 just gives me goosebumps, wouldn’t expect any less!

This video just popped up in my recommended, and I clicked because I love the sound of silence. Wow. You’ve earned a new subscriber.

An unbelievable cover, orchestration, arrangement. What a brilliant take on this timeless song.

Your compositions always give me chills and evoke such potent emotions 🤯 Quick Story: My (now) wife knew that I loved your music and wanted to surprise me for our wedding last year. And we (as well as the bridesmaids & groomsmen) picked songs for the wedding several days before 🎼 Day of the wedding comes around, and we're enjoying ourselves. I'm nervous, of course, because who isn't on their wedding day? 😬 Everyone makes (some danced) it down the aisle to various songs and then we awaited my wife for what felt like a good minute 😅 I barely hear the first TWO or THREE notes of "Photograph" and am immediately sobbing. I could only just see her, blurred through my tears, walking down the aisle 😭 Luckily I managed not to cry the entire rest of the ceremony, just alot of it 😂

Came from the Sleeping At Last email list so was already expecting a great cover, but this is something else!

Dying with cinematic delight. 🥹🥹🥹

Cody this is literally a piece of art and it’s so incredibly beautiful

I cannot believe I have missed out on this for 9 days...this actually made me laugh out loud because of the amount of incredulity I felt for the entire 6 minutes. This arrangement, this raw musical ability, is a certain type of magnificence that honestly can't be described with words, and certainly can't be matched by anything else in our world.

I love your charts so much they’re always so beautiful! Thanks for walking through your thoughts and details for this one!

I was listening to you all day, it was destined something new would come! Thanks! SOOOO WORTH IT

Jesus christ. That was beautiful.

This is a very wonderful thing. Thank you for your work!

I love the choir and the little notes during the score video✨🌸

Such an amazing piece of music, and such an amazing collab. Can’t wait to see more like this in the future. Looking forward to your concert at the Fox Theater in November.

Very beautiful, give a pat on the back to all the vocalists and musicians involved with this masterpiece

unbelievable, surprising and wonderful !!!! ❤

this is insane! Absolutely incredible! The tritone modulation is beautifully done!

The chills I had at 4:47. Wow my man this is wonderful!

Absolutely incredible! Thank you for all of your hard work!

A great rendition of this song! Some great orchestra work!!

i was on the brink of tears. this is pure magic. pure. magic. Also, thank you Cody for introducing me to sleeping at last.

Stunning! Thanks Cody

So you just casually release this, being one of my favorite artists, and collab with ANOTHER one of my favorite artists... I'm on the floor punching it and crying now, thank you.

Great arrangement and fantastic orchestration. Bravo!

New Cody fry song!

I went to go see Cody Fry in Atlanta in June and I'm a huge fan and his works are always so magical and this is amazing when I grow up I would love to work with an orchestra and write awesome music like him someday, and it amazes me so much, I just love the orchestra and every instrument and this is just amazing always found it amazing ❤

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE. BRAVO

MY DREAM HAD COME TRUE THANK YOU CODY AND RYAN And now... I NEED MORE OF YOU TWO

One of the greatest songs ever written. However I was lost here.

Wow, this is absolutely a masterclass on text painting with the orchestra. So incredible!

Love this so much, just as I knew I would! Thanks, Cody, for continuing to bring us the BEST music (and French horn) arrangements! 🎶❤️🎶

The instrumental part at the beginning is stunning. 01:00-01:20 took my breath away. It's so beautifully arranged. Reminds me a little bit of some of John Williams' work in Star Wars.

This song sends me straight into a fairytale

Absolutely love this.

The collab that I never knew I desperately needed. My heart felt like it was flying...

This is literally the coolest thing ever, chills

Loved all the “woodwind stuff” 👏🏻

This was beautiful oh my gosh 😭

Amazing! Every time I listen to your arrangements, I get goosebumps.

Stunning. Excellent work playing with texture and contrast. A story written in sound.

Cody. Yes. 👏🏼

Thank you, Cody, for your incredible music! It brings joy to the world!! Can't wait to see you live with Ben Rector in a few days!

Idk how you do it but every time you do a cover it's a masterpiece

Thank you so much for making this, Cody Fry! I became a huge fan of yours over three years ago, and I’ve fallen in love with your compositions. Seriously, you’re wonderful!! This mightttt just be your best one yet, but I’m biased because Simon and Garfunkel are some of my favorites ever!! I had the pleasure of seeing one of your shows in Charlotte last year, and it entirely changed my life. I have always been a HUGE fan of orchestral music, but I thought I’d never be able to make something of my love because I didn’t know anything about music, nor did I play any instruments. After hearing you talk on stage, learning that you sort of got into music later in life, it really inspired me. I, too, would be willing to play the triangle in the back of the room if it meant I was surrounded by a sea of talent. My partner is a musician (and a music teacher in the making!!) and she’s been trying to teach me more about music. Watching these videos (of which I’ve seen all you’ve made thus far) has helped me understand more and more… I mean hey, now I know more about tritone modulation which is cool (definitely going to impress my partner with this knowledge later)!!! Anyway, all of that to say, I appreciate what you’re doing. You give me just the slightest sliver of hope that I could create something really really cool one day. I love the way your brain works, and the care you put into each musical decision is incredible. You’re going to go down as one of the greats, and I appreciate all you do to inspire younger minds to pursue the joy that music can bring. You’re definitely one of the reasons I now have a hunger to learn more. Keep doing all you do, dude, you’re awesome!!!

If I had to describe this I would say that it is a masterfully orchestrated murder of a classic. An inharmonious unsettling audio atrocity committed upon what was originally a piece of music that brought peace to tempestuous minds. Discordant and disquieting, it feels like the theme song for a serial killer.

Absolutely brilliant, keep up the good work Cody, we need more musicians like you!

Chills. Literal chills, as always! This song is amazing!! I also loved the little bit where you could clearly hear the flute. I almost never hear flutes. But this song is amazing and I love it so much!

Reminded me of Sunrise, Sunset, which would be great to hear you do as well.

Your music is so alive. It’s as if other music though I like them just arn’t as alive as your music is

A cover i was waiting for! Awesomely done as always man, and keep it up.

Dang man this is really good arranging/orchestrating. Great performance all around!

Absolutely wonderful. Once again I am moved to tears! Bravo!!

I really hope that I get to see Cody perform with the MSO in Melbourne one day... I've been besotted with your arrangements and originals for years now. Strength to strength, and baton swish to baton swish. Thank you for the music!

was elated when you premiered this in chicago. so so happy it’s real now!

This is such an amazing way to explain a piece like this. It really helps to visualize what you as the artist were hoping to create. And for non musically talented folk like me, it helps me understand just what makes a song so special. I hope to see more in this format in the future! ☀️

that was so beautiful and it’s going to make me cry

Brilliant work! Thank you so much, Cody!

Beautiful!

Terrific work as usual, your orchestral music is a massive breath of fresh air in the modern music space
