That's cool. I'm always loved this music.. this song his my heart and soul as does other music from that era.. (my dad was born in 59 so he gave me his good taste in music...(.and illl never give it back to him just like the eyes I got from him is his and my lame dad joke, if that makes any sense lol sorry. )
Silence like a cancer grows is so true. This has been my life for so long from family. My brother told me last year this song reminds him of me. That’s truer than he knows. This has always been one of my favorite songs and one I listen to a lot.
@@glendalangley1877 same it's a high fav as well, due to the lyrics, the tone, rhythm, the meaning of how the song was scripted, the harmony. Astronomical crowds, shows the importance and popularity of the duo
I had an English teacher in the 10th grade who thought Simon and Garfunkel were the best poets of modern times. We spent much time listening to and discussing their works. I developed a great appreciation for their music. All of their music are works of art.
Yay! As a high school English teacher, I'm always happy to know that some of us leave a mark. When I was in 10th grade, I shyly approached my English teacher about analyzing the lyrics of my favorite pop songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. I wanted to write an essay on a few of them, and I thought maybe the whole class would be into doing the same. She sniffed and said "Well now, Jane, this is not really poetry, is it?" She was all around a crummy teacher and bleak person. Whenever I invite my students to bring in songs for us to discuss, it's thrilling. They learn to find deeper and broader meanings. They gain respect for different styles and eras of music, and they learn to teach each other.
I'm curious, what year were you in 10th grade? Just wondering how old the music was at the time you discussed it in an educational context. As an aside, I agree much of their music is beautiful poetry.
Yeah, it's become a classic, and 100 years from now it will still be a classic. This song, and so many others of the era is what was playing in the background of my wonder years. I'm 68 years old now and it still resonates with me. ✨✌️🙂
No sound silence as the sun set No loud dog or rooster crow No sound of breeze in trees No airplanes or trucks noise Perfect Silence hearing aides dead
I'm listening , my eyes are open , now to the visions that are NOW creeping. So glad to be alive today to be able to watch this beautiful song unfold....
I find more sense in the lyrics of this song than making sense from the lyrics of a 1000 of best or popular songs that young people so worship today.born in 1961, I could drown myself in music like this.❤❤
i listen to this while playing unturned, cause my friends never wanna get on and play with me so i just listen to this while building my wooden base next to water no humans... just silence..
It’s really sad that this song was never appreciated as much as it deserves. Those who have felt the darkness in their lives have actually lived through these lyrics.
What are you talking about? This song is VERY famous, aaaaand is the soundtrack of an also VERY famous movie, a classic and a cult movie: "The graduate".
I play this song every time I feel alone and as if my heart broke This song really helped me realise that in all darkness there could be a light that gives you happiness And between all the problem that finds Me in the sound of silence It doesn't hurt me because good tends To Triumph over evil Which corrupts all people But nothing that can corrupt The sound of silence
@@user-wq7ro7ck3j The song could be interpreted as the big city lights people become mute by living their lives with anonymity to all the other 'ignoring' people around. Only advertisements like neon writings and posters 'speak' to the people, but graffities too. And by this the silence grows like cancer, seperating the people. Instead they should wake up from their sleepwalking, and respect and interact with the others. Getting them out of their isolation by taking the arms and 'hugging' each other. Do not ignore the people around you, even not in the anonymity of the towns. Keep to hug and interact with living beings as a living being!
My granddad died and this song was one of the songs they played. One week later there was a party and someone loved this song so much that he asked for it and than i was standing there crying
My me time song. Thank you very much Mr. Paul Simon and Mr. Art Garfunkel for this great song. From the bottom of my heart, I salute you. From the Pearl of the Orient Philippines. 🇵🇭💖👏👍
This is a song that always will inspire and motivate the future generations no matter what lies ahead in times to come. We are all a passenger at the end of our lives. Have all a beautiful and memorable journey.
After hearing all different covers including those in talent shows, I can’t believe I say this still resonated the spirit of the song the most. Lightness in darkness, gentle and warmth. I’m born in the 90s
I heard them sing this live in Central Park in my teens. You could hear a pin drop, followed by the sound of silence- and then gradually, in a crescendo like no other audience-the loudest cheers I have ever heard erupted!
Yesterday, October 16, 2023 was the 38th anniversary of the funeral of Eddie Blake. This music is always played for the funeral of Eddie Blake - a true hero overseas in Nam and at home in America.
People talking without speaking... People hearing without listening... And the people bowed and prayed... To the neon god they made... These words exactly manifest what we've turned into with smart phones nowadays!
I watched The Graduate immediately after I graduated from college. That film and this song got me so well. Even now, years later, I still feel so lost, like I'll never really belong, never really be a part of the world. Like I'm cursed to never _quite_ fit in. To live in the silence, alone with only the dark to keep me company
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. The neon sign, I think is the modern media, telling us garbage and hiding the real truth. Like they only tell us what (some) people want to hear and they never even graze the edge of truth.
December 26 at 11:17 listing to this great masterpiece and all I can think about is when they closed the casket for the final time on my beautiful 5 year old daughter who suddenly passed away away on October 26 2000. RIP my beautiful daughter ❤
This version is peaceful yet vibrant, like a quit meadow, while disturbed's version is loud and powerful, like a stormy coast, both are beautiful in their own ways.
but of course you have to throw a hissy fit because its not the original, and you can't deal with the concept of two things being good in different ways. you might like burgers, and you might like ice cream, but you aren't going to put ice cream on your burger. Why? Because it sounds disgusting! Doesn't mean they are bad, they just are good in different ways
This makes me LOVE my mother and DAD even more for giving me this LIFE to enjoy this wonderful forthcoming life that we all are enjoying today and tomorrow ... G*d Thank You!
I wish this duo hadn't had such a turbulent relationship. The world missed out on great music because they couldn't work together. Their songs were great. Their voices complimented each other so well. They created beautiful music. I know, some people simply can't work together. Sometimes that's ok. But in this case, the world lost.
What a brilliantly written song,with so much depth and thought provoking. Yes we are all alone at times as individual’s but our struggle is often being shared by people in similar circumstances. My favourite most beautiful song
The lyrics seemed simple at first, but when I actually considered them... wow. It's so deep. My favorite parts are: "Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to speak with you again." "People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening... No one dared, disturb the sound of silence." "Silence like a cancer grows." "But my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence." "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls." ... Basically they entire song. Also, the melody is (slightly creepy but) soothing. Thank you for the wonderful lyric video!
The Sound of Silence Lyrics [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 shared And no one dared disturb the sound of silence [Verse 4] "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 [Verse 5] 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 sound of silence"
This song is amazing because it could mean so many things, there is something in the sound of silence, but what hides in the dark may not always be the same, and the neon light may be a god or nothing but a lie. For me this song was about discovering who I was, the silence is my soul, it is full of the greatest hopes, and the darkest desires, it is not a good or bad thing, it simply *is*, the neon light is who I want to be, I created this image, and it is not purely me, it is who I am to you, as while I must be honest, everyone has an inescapable part that they simply can't show anyone. And even if I showed you everything, I simply don't have a true "personality", I am the most optimistic pessimist I've ever met, I fit in every stereotype of male teenager other than jock, and maybe a few female ones. The only definite traits I have is a litteraly deadly sense of empathy, and the weirdest inferiority complex I've heard of.
Your words are so true. Your words described what I feel when I listen to this song. Unbelievably searing and poetic. Thank you for your insight. Have a great life ahead.
One of my favourite songs of all time. First heard this when I was aged 7. It has remained one of my go to tunes when I'm struggling. Beautifully written.
This is way better than all the songs in 2023 To all radio stations, enough!! My ears are gonna bleed from. Baby calm down!! Calm down!!! Ohhh my God! Lol. Y'all have good day or night. Stay safe and if you are listening to this cuz you giong through hard time, dont give up!!! U are special!!
I was brought here after reading an article about Art Garfunkel and his old friend that went blind. The story about the song's first line. I now too just realized how poetic this song is... ♥️
The WORDS of the Prophets are written on the subway wall, and tenement halls - the sound of silence. Those Words levels high and active. A great 👍👍 song.
This song shared my feelings about the world itself. I see people denying the truth about reality, talking about random staffs, doing random things, yet, ignoring the truth. Those who sees the real crisis of the world are hushed into silence or ignored by staging political drama. Real voice become invisible. Silent.
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 shared And 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 Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence

I’m 63 from Egypt and this song is so moving. I grew up listening to these songs of that era
i am 989 year old and i ❤ this song.
No sound silence as the sun set
No loud dog or rooster crow
No sound of breeze in trees
No airplanes or trucks noise
Perfect Silence hearing aides dead
Hey...I am here...66 years old...to listen this amazing and wonderful song.....touch my Heart
The best songs never get old.
Good health long life God bless you
A lesser Man would call them Prophets ....BTW I was raised in NYC streets in a galaxy far far away...
Im crying. Why
At 17 years old my Brother died. This album was spinning. He us a great man. Ambidextrous, talented in baseball, basketball, football and kindness
Must be so hard to lose someone that young.
Life can be so cruel sometimes
I feel sad for you
Long live 17 🙏🏽
I'm listening , my eyes are open , now to the visions that are NOW creeping. So glad to be alive today to be able to watch this beautiful song unfold....

When a person is happy he enjoys the tune. But when the person experience darkness he understands the lyrics.
@@pepitojayr.9566 Yes 💯
People who know only darkness live this song everyday me being one of them
People talking without speaking.people writing songs that voices sometimes share
What are you talking about? This song is VERY famous, aaaaand is the soundtrack of an also VERY famous movie, a classic and a cult movie: "The graduate".
Another one of those classic songs that will never leave us. It remains in history as a beautiful, meaningful song.
Paul Simon in one ear, Art Garfunkel in the other, the guitar hovering in between: Heaven 👌🏻
Their voices are different and yet in perfect harmony. It's like listening to 2 people singing the same song at the same time. Timeless❤
2024 still listening to this song. Takes me back to the younger days 😊
2024 and I'm 66. I never ever get tired of listening to this song.
Same here
❤❤❤❤
I play this song every time I feel alone and as if my heart broke
This song really helped me realise that in all darkness there could be a light that gives you happiness
And between all the problem that finds
Me in the sound of silence
It doesn't hurt me because good tends
To Triumph over evil
Which corrupts all people
But nothing that can corrupt
The sound of silence
BEAUTFULLY STATED. YOUR WORDS HERE ARE DEEP AS THE SONG. YOU TRULY DO UNDERSTAND ITS MEANING.
Thank You!

Yesterday, October 16, 2023 was the 38th anniversary of the funeral of Eddie Blake. This music is always played for the funeral of Eddie Blake - a true hero overseas in Nam and at home in America.
A serious poem set to music. Classic, iconic.
Being in tune to each other without any auto-tune tech is epic AF.
Echoes the world of silence.
This song relates to now so much. Our world is dark, and the light may just be another lie, but it still gives us hope.
Never be a defeatist. Live your life half full never half empty.

This makes me LOVE my mother and DAD even more for giving me this LIFE to enjoy this wonderful forthcoming life that we all are enjoying today and tomorrow ... G*d Thank You!
What incredible lyrics and melody! Music that painted a story.
One of the best songs ever made
There is beauty in everything. Even in silence and in darkness.
There's good and bad in everything
How right you are!
I wish this duo hadn't had such a turbulent relationship. The world missed out on great music because they couldn't work together. Their songs were great. Their voices complimented each other so well. They created beautiful music.
I know, some people simply can't work together. Sometimes that's ok. But in this case, the world lost.
I added this song to my playlist after listening it for the first time
Beautiful masterpiece indeed.
This is some lyrics that the world needs❤
I swear this guy saw the future and put it into words.
April 2024 I so love old songs ❤
What a brilliantly written song,with so much depth and thought provoking. Yes we are all alone at times as individual’s but our struggle is often being shared by people in similar circumstances. My favourite most beautiful song
The lyrics seemed simple at first, but when I actually considered them... wow. It's so deep.
My favorite parts are:
"Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to speak with you again."
"People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening... No one dared, disturb the sound of silence."
"Silence like a cancer grows."
"But my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence."
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls."
... Basically they entire song.
Also, the melody is (slightly creepy but) soothing. Thank you for the wonderful lyric video!
Yeah, my favourite parts too, plus “hear my words that I might teach you…take my arms that I might reach you”…reminds me of The Heavenly Father.
The Sound of Silence Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 shared
And no one dared disturb the sound of silence
[Verse 4]
"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
[Verse 5]
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 sound of silence"
Thank you for your effort!!
Muchas Gracias!
❤❤
Grazie ❤
Spasibo. Gracias. Thanks. Shukran .
This song has helped me with losing my Dad to cancer.
😮😢I'm really sorry
This song is so peaceful you can really calm down like you are in the light clouds

Their excellent harmonizing is much easier to appreciate with this version!
This song is amazing because it could mean so many things, there is something in the sound of silence, but what hides in the dark may not always be the same, and the neon light may be a god or nothing but a lie.
For me this song was about discovering who I was, the silence is my soul, it is full of the greatest hopes, and the darkest desires, it is not a good or bad thing, it simply *is*, the neon light is who I want to be, I created this image, and it is not purely me, it is who I am to you, as while I must be honest, everyone has an inescapable part that they simply can't show anyone.
And even if I showed you everything, I simply don't have a true "personality", I am the most optimistic pessimist I've ever met, I fit in every stereotype of male teenager other than jock, and maybe a few female ones. The only definite traits I have is a litteraly deadly sense of empathy, and the weirdest inferiority complex I've heard of.
This is really profound for a youtube comment. I guess you can expect that on a Paul Simon song.
Damn. Speaking truth. *Does a poetry like finger snap.*
Your words are so true. Your words described what I feel when I listen to this song. Unbelievably searing and poetic. Thank you for your insight. Have a great life ahead.
The death of my spouse I sit in silence.
I'll be here every year, brothers of culture
Me heart aches.
"People writing songs that voices never shared..."
Words that never got the honors deserved by the gravity it carries.
A song that reaches out to all, and sung by two fabulous artists.
I love both the original and the cover by disturbed! They are both so good!
And the words of the prophets on the subway walls…such a great song. Penetrating. Silence is golden. Gives His a chance to come through.
Gives God’s voice a chance to come through.
If we may call ourselves as such, our voices do silently keep this masterpiece alive!
I was born in 1789 this is nostalgic😢
I feel you bro i was born in 1345
I prefer hearing music to playing outdoor.
This is just what i need.
Thank you for the nice music 🎶😊
One of my favourite songs of all time. First heard this when I was aged 7. It has remained one of my go to tunes when I'm struggling. Beautifully written.

I graduated June 71 and was chosen with a group of about 30 classmates sang this amazing song! 🎶 ❤
I was brought here after reading an article about Art Garfunkel and his old friend that went blind. The story about the song's first line. I now too just realized how poetic this song is... ♥️
One of the best songs ever written, just listen to the lyrics!
Amen🙏🎼🎵
Thank you for the lyrics.
wow how relevent is it today?...Maybe It's just manifested to a degree I can not Ignore...Brilliant Indeed
Thank you Painkiller for introducing me to this amazing song.
The WORDS of the Prophets are written on the subway wall, and tenement halls - the sound of silence. Those Words levels high and active. A great 👍👍 song.
you could spend years of yuur life listening to "newer" music and you would not likely ever, in your life's pursuit, find a song this deep!
2-21-2024 - when I was on elementary level I used to sing this song year '67.
Timeless classic can never be forgotten they so precious always remember no matter how old this piece of music are thanks for posting
Beautiful! I tend to listen to Artie’s voice alone with one earphone. His voice is so enchanting.
Yes, this a masterpiece song. Song which can bring back memories of olden days. ❤
This song never gets old.
VERY CARING,MEANINGFUL AND TOUCHING-THANKS TO YOU BOTH-YOUR MUSIC IS FOREVER!!!
My all time favourite singing duo.. love their music 🎶
Must have been quite a time, the 1960s. Simon and Garfunkel split up right around the time that the Beatles and Crosby Stills also did. End of an era
Amazing how their two voices combine (polyphonic)
This was the Theme song for Our Senior Ball 1969! Still Love It!!!
This song shared my feelings about the world itself. I see people denying the truth about reality, talking about random staffs, doing random things, yet, ignoring the truth. Those who sees the real crisis of the world are hushed into silence or ignored by staging political drama. Real voice become invisible. Silent.
Exactly, The truth. Not their truth. There's a difference.
Wonderful..peacesfully.. let u thinking far way.. so far..
2023 and still beautiful song
the inability of people to communicate with each other, 💞💞💕💕😍😍 I love this !!
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 shared
And 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
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence
so cool that you know the lyrics. ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
Lo stavo cercando e mi è apparsa la traduzione come per incanto 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
