The Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel) Daniel Estrem, lute 

So lovely. I could almost believe it was originally written for lute! Thank you.

This man deserves more then just 23 000 subs. Beautiful

Yes! I love Simon & Garfunkel so much! And the fact that it's on lute makes it 5 times better!

I hit like before I even listen now. You've earned it.

There can me few more relaxing and satisfying hobbies on planet earth than being able to play the lute to performance standard ....

A true beauty of music

Long live the king ! This is far legendary, for the lute more classical..

That is so rich! It's beautiful, Dan. Thank you so much❤❤❤❤

As soon as I saw the title, I knew it would sound good!

Can't say I expected to witness a rendition of this on the lute, and yet now it seems a perfect fit!

almost 2 years on and this is still one of my favorites. sound of silence is such a haunting and beautiful song and the lute gives it a very special quality i cant quite find words to describe. i can think of no higher praise than to say i love this just as much as Simon and Garfunkel's.

so very wonderful

stumbled across this listening to old tavern esq music for D&D. Wonderful work, quite beautiful on the Lute

When the bard's family and beloved all die of plague (To be fair though this is a wonderful cover~)

I love this song very much. Great performance, Daniel! 👏

Beautiful Dan, your videos always make me smile!

Beautiful cover! Lute covers are my favorite.

Beautiful

These videos make me feel so calm, always look forward to them - so brilliant :)

Lovely. Thank you.

This has a delicate harp like quality

This beautiful song lends itself to so many variations, and this one ranks very highly in my opinion.

I love your music, every night I fall asleep to it. I hope one day I can learn to play the lute too.

This is gorgeous! I’ve been interested in learning a lute for a long time but it’s a bit expensive to buy one haha. I’m so happy you’re making these! I can’t wait to learn one day!

Sounds amazing. Carries as much weight to me as the original, thank you.

Marvelous. One of my favorites sings.

Amazing job as always Mr Estrem! It really brings out the emotions it evokes despite it being only an instrumental rendition.

Another message from beautiful space!!! Велике Вам космо-мерсібко!!! Bravissimo!!!

Beautiful ! Thank you :)

Masterpiece

Wonderful.

So beautiful!👍🏆

Beautiful Dan. I’m thankful for that performance.

Another great rendition, Daniel. Happy Thanksgiving!

One of many of Paul Simon's songs that sit nicely on strings.

Lovely

Have you started think about Christmas yet I wonder. Great vid.

Thanks for the beautiful music

Great rendition Dan! This song goes very well with the lute. Cheers!

Your mastery of stringed instruments is mesmerizing

I love this instrument and you play it so beautifully. I am so glad I found your channel, so talented and kind. Sending prayers for health and happiness your way. God bless

Awesome cover, very peaceful

What a hoot it a lute

Very nice.

That was easily one of the best covers I have heard. Masterfully done and thank you for this.

Magnific

Just founs out the channel and pleased to the maximum of having done so. Amazing cover and amazing skill set, congrats Mr.Daniel!

Excelente interpretación en laúd 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is just what I needed to hear today 💗 I’m now inspired to practice my dulcimer some more

This is so beautiful 💕

As always, this is remarkable, Dan. You do amazing work always, and this cover has blown it out of the water. Your Simon and Garfunkel covers are always great - I particularly love the Scarborough Fair cover you did a while back. Have a lovely evening!

Great work.

A heckin good play there💕 Lovely work~

NICELY DONE

Parabéns, estas melodias são encantadoras, parabéns por ser um ótimo artista

😊amazing

Beautiful as always 👍

Lovely :-)

this is sick awesome cover

Great cover, i love it. Continue as you do it's awesome :)

Such an amazing cover

That's a great arrangement!

I could watch smile on your face whole time :P

Oh I think I know this song! But I didn't know it's name.. until now. haha nice work!

I've been considering adding a lute to my collection and I think you've pushed me the last little bit, time to go lute shopping!

I need your Lute version and the Waukikuna pan pipe version combined because wow this is nice

I love these videos, and i think it’s really cool that you have so many variants of these instruments. Your talent is amazing, and what’s funny is we even have very similar names. Mine is Daniel Estrin, and i thought it was pretty unique

Excellent interpretation of a great classic Daniel! Have you thought about doing Scarborough Fair on the lute? Considering the subject matter it would be appropriate on your lute.

Good Morning Daniel, A lovely cover of a great tune. In my head I could hear the words being sung as an accompaniment as you played which was kind of weird but obviously just meant you hit the melody just perfect. The song does suit the tonal qualities of the lute so again a good choice. I had this playing in the office at work and a colleague also passed comment on your skill and quality at playing this. I am not sure if he is a RU-vidr but I will point him in the right direction if he is! Keep Safe and Keep Playing Clive

🖤

I don't know much about Garfunkel, but I think Paul Simon was a very good song writer. I really liked "Kodachrome" "Loves Me Like A Rock" "Fifty Ways..." "Call Me Al" etc. Anyway, that was a fine job you did there!

I really enjoy your videos--I only have a lute in Renaissance tuning sadly but I wonder, do you have tabs of the modern music you play, including the Swedish folk tunes? So cool!

Красиво!

Шедевр

where can you get a legitimate lute these days? i'd love to play one but i can't seem to find it anywhere

For how long per day do you spend replying to comments?

Can you play Apache by Shadows on that ?

I think in medieval or baroque times Simon & Garfunkel would have been big stars too.

Imagine sitting in your castle, starring out of the window while it's raining and foggy outside; the message of the death of your fair spouse just arrived. Your bard starts to play this song.

This is way too few views for something so pretty
