This was mine and my grandads favourite song to listen to. He suffered with dementia for 10 years to the point he didn’t know who me or my family were, but always remembered how this song went. He passed in 2020 and I knew I wanted an instrumental version to play at his funeral. I found this, and I couldn’t have found a more beautiful version. I hope you don’t mind, but we played your version as the entrance song. I sometimes come back and listen to this to remember him. Thank you.
What a treasure to have this pop up ❤ The wind is howling in predawn hours, coffees hot & it’s single digit weather out . But the warmth of this classic sates . I was absolutely loving this & seen it was Jennifer’s upload , I clicked because the song . Ahh Merry Christmas Jennifer, you’re so loved & appreciated Salute my friend & many blessings 🎄edit 5days later☺️To be more clear in my comment, I’d clicked for the song THEN seen it was Jennifer & That was when I realized I’d opened a treasure ! Btw,Mother Nature gave us a break & 🙏🏼 for those enduring far worse conditions
Oh my god. You're so good it's somewhat painful. I've recently taken up piano again after a long break and this sort of stuff really is so inspiring. Thank you Jen!!
I don't know which is more beautiful, in guitar or piano, each has its way. One of the most beautiful melodies ever written, or song, in this century. Paul Simon is a genius!
@@openyoureyes1985 I don't like the Disturbed version. I mean, they're realy good at bringing the spirit of the song to the listeners, but it just feels like it's another song than the one of Simon & Garfunkel. But luckily tastes can be different :D
@@robmyster01 I know it's nearly identical, but I'm saying the version with vocals is just. SO. MUCH. BETTER. Seriously, I love the guy's voice combined with a piano.
I've loved this all time favorite song of mine for many years but have never heard it played so eloquently...no singing needed.... I also loved the view of watching you play - a talent I have admired every time someone plays - wow Jen... you're amazing.
Jen, you are my favorite pianist and have taught me so much. I am not formally trained but I also play by ear and your interpretations are nearly identical to what I feel and aspire to. I have practiced your “The First Time” version for hours and have it pretty darn close finally! This interpretation is brilliant too and I’m having a blast with it. It’s so awesome how music can connect two very different people from 2 different worlds so closely! One of the great things about social media! Thanks for this!
Jen you're a beautiful person and an inspiration to me. I feel touched to have heard you play and to have heard you speak of your life experiences. You are a sparkling, shimmering light in this world and a graceful spirit. Many blessings for you in 2018 and I hope you are well.
You cant beat the original Paul Simon version ... But listening to this made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, it was incredible. Thank you for sharing :-))
thank you for this wonderful recording. It may sound strange but my baby immediately calms down and falls asleep. a greater compliment is not possible at the moment. thank you. ❤️
"The Sound Of Silence" 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 streetlamp 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 dare 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”
You took something beautiful, added your own interpretation, and created a wonderful piece, full of emotion, and it moved me more than any other piano cover of this song. I absolutely love it.
I cannot thank you enough! So many of my friends have wanted me to play this song but I never could find the sheets. Your version is absolutely beautiful and so once more, thank you so much :)
Omg, thank you so much for your incredible playing! It's really best version of this song! I've been learning the classic Simon's sheet last few weeks and a little tired of it. But your cover brought me a second breath! Thank you! You're star! 😍😍😍👏👏👏
Beautiful and he feeling is lovely, I wish to purchase the sheet music you say you can acquire, I looked atyour site and sheet music plus but couldn't find it is it possible to purchase your version keep up the great inspirational work
Just made my day, thank you PianoGirl :) Beautiful cover! Found you through Bearing this past summer, and subbed then. Keep up the awesome work and keep doing you!
What a beautiful piano version of this beautiful song by Simon and Garfunkel. I would love to learn this too. Do you have sheet music for this version?
I've been listening to this on repeat for 2 hours and 37 minutes now. This is amazing.
wow! thank you
Sure
mini calfreze: maybe they just had it on loop when they were doing homework or something dude
Although it’s good, doesn’t 2 hours of the same thing get annoying?
Because some strong memories are floating in your heart with this music

aint she though? shes amazing !
I admire anyone with a true gift like this!
I have no real gift at anything!
Lol! Except the thing that is perhaps damaging my eyesight.
I don't know which is more beautiful, in guitar or piano, each has its way. One of the most beautiful melodies ever written, or song, in this century. Paul Simon is a genius!
This is no doubt the best piano version of this song that I have ever heard, I am deeply touched. Cann you do a tutorial please?
What about the version made by Disturbed?
@@openyoureyes1985 I don't like the Disturbed version. I mean, they're realy good at bringing the spirit of the song to the listeners, but it just feels like it's another song than the one of Simon & Garfunkel. But luckily tastes can be different :D
What about pentatonix? I Also love this. Trying to find some free sheet music
@@openyoureyes1985 this is the disturbed version...
@@robmyster01 I know it's nearly identical, but I'm saying the version with vocals is just. SO. MUCH. BETTER. Seriously, I love the guy's voice combined with a piano.
This song sounds epic in every way possible to play it! Any instrument! Any accent! Any setup! Any Ambience!
What kind of sorcery is this!!!
I've loved this all time favorite song of mine for many years but have never heard it played so eloquently...no singing needed.... I also loved the view of watching you play - a talent I have admired every time someone plays - wow Jen... you're amazing.
This might me one of the most beautiful piano covers of ANY song I've ever heard!
WOW thanks :)

Wow it's beautiful😍😲
Mesmerized. I think you captured the emotion of song perfectly :)
😢😢😢😢
Jen you're a beautiful person and an inspiration to me. I feel touched to have heard you play and to have heard you speak of your life experiences. You are a sparkling, shimmering light in this world and a graceful spirit. Many blessings for you in 2018 and I hope you are well.

Brilliant, beautiful and all of heaven, what more is asked of talent such as this?
thank you for this wonderful recording. It may sound strange but my baby immediately calms down and falls asleep. a greater compliment is not possible at the moment. thank you. ❤️
I love this. Oh my goodness. Always have loved this. Simon /Garfunkel. Beautifully played.
Thank you! I enjoy your play very much! Life is much better with piano.
"The Sound Of Silence"
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 streetlamp
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 dare
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”
Rylla Roque people are so desperate that they even copy paste lyrics at instrumental versions. Lol
Rylla Roque thank you 🤗
Thanks!!
Many thanks - a tremendous song. The third verse in particular affects me powerfully...
You took something beautiful, added your own interpretation, and created a wonderful piece, full of emotion, and it moved me more than any other piano cover of this song. I absolutely love it.
You captured the soul of this difficult to interpret song. Bravo!
Wonderful rendition!
Just absolutely the best version ever!! I am 30. Father of the most beautful little princess and still...i just love your sou d

Back when I lived in the uk, I got a music box for my 7th birthday and it had this song lol... I still have it and it works and it’s kinda funny

This version helps me to fell asleep quickly, my mind is so Clean........ Thanks for the talent guy on YT
