Blowing In The Wind has to at least contend for the honor. I suspect more people would go for it. The songs are different. One’s meaning is complex & not competely clear. The other is perhaps Dylan’s simplest song as far as meaning, but with a timeless quality. I happen to like Simon & Garfunkel better than Dylan……
I’m just a teenager who has only this year discovered Simon and Garfunkel. The more I listen to their music and return to watch these videos, the more I envy those who were able to experience them live and in their prime. I truly believe my generation will never get to see a duo of this talent - it’s bittersweet.
My father whom was a big country western lover, introduced this to me as a kid. Turned my whole love of listening to different music! Thanks dad. Love you and miss you.
This touched me 21. I'm now 71 and it will touch me for the rest of my life. Sound of Silence song is one of the most deep and emotional songs in my life time. Thank you Simon & Garfunkel !
I am eighty years old, and I was around when this was written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel. It was a masterpiece then and is just as powerful today. I read that Paul Simon wrote this awesome song by himself, but I don't know that for sure. Anyway, whoever wrote it is a genius, and they foretold the future in so many lines in the song, that it is a prophetic creation. I loved it when I was a young man, and I still do at 80.
Honestly, I think that smile was when Simon changed chords/positions on the fretboard of the guitar, and was clearly out of tune. But they go for it. What can you do? Lol.
I'm a registered nurse at a nursing home and this is one of my patient's favorite songs. I always play music for my patients during medication pass. This patient does not speak much so when he asked me if I could play this song for him, I was a bit surprised. When this song is playing, this guy who doesn't talk much, will belt it at the top of his lungs and just smile, and it always brings tears to my eyes. You can tell that he's just remembering back when he was younger. We've made it our daily routine now. I love every aspect of my job, but getting to see my patients happy and smiling is the best reward ever!
My dad introduced me S&G at my age of 7. Oh Lord, time passed 42 years now. Thankfully, listening this precious sound with my gorgeous three daughters now.
Well, I suppose you could call pitch correction a gimmick of sorts. Not quite, but it's certainly something that is separate from talent. Someone should have tuned Simons guitar instead of Garfunkels vocals.
+Nevil It's astonishing to me that some people deny or can't hear it. It is so obviously corrected in some fashion. However, that doesn't mean they endorsed or asked for it - there's precedent for pitch correction to be applied by whoever mixes a live performance for DVD, annoying the singer in question who had no idea it was going to happen. Let's hope they went out raw to the audience at least. That guitar, though. Eeeesh.
They gave the world one of the greatest songs we will ever know. I hope they can find peace and friendship with eachother again someday. Even if they don't make anymore music together. The artists they once were together deserve to be at peace.
Simon and Garfunkel never came to my part of the world but I was lucky enough to hear and see Paul Simon perform this song live. He had a big band on the tour but at the end came out on his own and played Sound of Silence. The 10,000 crowd were completely silent. A great moment for all of us there.
fairly positive garfunkels voice is being tampered with in this performance if i remember rightly his voice had declined by this point could be wrong though
The first time I heard this song I was 9 years old. A rare day home from school. My brother Jim had his own record player. I carefully placed the album on the turntable and listened. This song touched my 9 year old heart and has always. I read the lyrics and felt/feel joy when I heard/hear or read them. Silence, without scratching the album.
Listened to this creative,beautiful master piece and emotional song years 40yrs ago while growing up. This generation should embrace and learn more from beautiful poetic music
This song is still haunting …. ❤ it’s so beautiful , it will be around for many years to come. EVERY-TIME I hear it ,it reminds me of the film with Dustin Hoffman, THE GRADUATE. Brilliant film too…… one of my all time favourites .
@ Crying Clown The fact that I am reading your comment randomly 4 days later is amazing ! Yes, I too am frozen in time as a wee infant 1964 / 1965 era. Sounds of joy....over the AM radio during those days !!
Toute ma jeunesse on traduisait les paroles un bon exercice d'anglais nos tendres années sont Simon et Garfunkel géniale et indémodable chanson et d'autres encore magnifique !!
There is new good music nowadays, it's just the big corporations which used to promote good music, only promoting the worst fucking music imaginable today.

@@paulmartos7730 . . . "I expect we'll be celebrating this music in centuries to come, across worlds and stars." It may already be making that journey.
Saw them perform in concert four times. Most memorable was at UNH, they opened with Sound, there was a group talking, Paul Simon just stopped dead still, and explained that the song was about people not listening, and if the group taking would rather talk than listen, they S&G would leave as the talkers were the exact meaning of the song, a rather succinct explanation of The Sound of Silence.
This was my grandfathers favorite song. I clearly remember coming home from school one day & walking through the door to my mother sitting on the floor & this song playing as she sobbed & sang along.

When my mother passed in 1973 at the age of 48 with 7 children 6 under the age of 21. We went to live with my sister in Alexandria Virginia. She played this song to us all the time. She taught me how to sing live love and to learn most of all peace for everyone I came to meet know and love. She helped raise 6 young children all at the tender age of 24. She is my sister Kathleen S. Pattison ( Giardina now). Thank you Simion and Garfunkel for your beautiful beautiful music.
These guys and their beautiful song have been moving me to tears since my college days ! I'm 80 this year and cry more than ever when I listen to this classic !
Man.... I remember watching this on BluRay and was like IF ONLY I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!! Tom Hanks Directed this, and what a masterpiece of a show this was!!!
@@LonexWolf415 really need 36 minutes ago it's October 28th and Denver this is awesome I don't understand how Tom Hanks directed it I hope you can answer me wonderful to find this late
1975 in the Philippines was a hot night I could never forget. I was 6 years old, and the whole town was in silence watching these two legends perform on TV.
Same here. Classic music is also in my playlist, For somereason classic and metal combine to make the most beautifull work. Whe else do metal singers make the best ballads?
Most of metal music comes from these songs because we all metalheads have the same goal. Peace and lot of great music. that´s only my opinion, I have listened hundreds of metal/rock bands and their message is clear. We are freaks, but we still understand each others and we are united! I actually liked "disturbed" version because they "updated the song" but only paul and art made it happen so. :D Sometimes we just don't wanna hear the bombs, maybe that´s the sound of silence :)
No wild band, no half naked woman, no blinding lights. A guitar and two very talented artists Simon and Paul made the world a bit better to live in. Thanks God for giving talents to them.
they're not humans they're angels Edit:thanks for the likes!and also I used angels as a metaphor you don't have to comment telling me they're not angels or fight in the comments about religion...I felt like writing "angels" because in my first language(which is not english obviously)we often use this word when someone sings beautifully and with soul such as these two great musicians!
Oh, please. They are musicians. They sing well, they magnify jejune emotions; but they are all feeling and sloganizing, with paucity of understanding. They sang to an 18-year-old, and their warbling is still sweet; but after fifty years, they have not learned Churchill's lesson about maturing and putting aside utopian enthusiasms. Garfunkel was early on a Randian, but he was soon schooled out of that way of thinking. Rather like Bill Gates when he gained acceptance among the masters of the universe. We all bow to the regime, but once we do, continuing to pretend to be a rebel is a hypocrisy that offends the Holy Spirit.
The first line of this song grabs my spine with icy fingers of recognition. People can see with their eyes, but their minds are blind. To wish to speak but be rendered silent. To go forever mute among the hearing. This I recognize.
Rico Cilliers It's a story of depression. I feel it now after a loss. I try hard not to cry when i know i should, it's grieving, grieving is natural and this song has unleashed my tears.

WARMONGER very true
The Martin Guitar company recognized his talent when they issued the signature guitar he‘s playing
This piece is not hard to play. But it is a beautiful composition of Mr Simon. He is a composer and few people are as good composers as him.
Funny you said that I was just thinking the same
@@dheevesh16 that new intro he did is hard enough but the rest of the song yes
This is the song I would like to play in my funeral.
Just lost my dad one of his favourite songs when I was younger, mine to priceless 😢❤xx
It's Decades later they still preformed it PERFECTLY, like they were one person. How rare and miraculous.💖💖
Hello lyn, how are you?
@@russellsaunders9395 probs a lot better than you
I love how casual they look, like two guys just chilling and doing what they love.
👏👏👏
One is reminded how good true music once was after listening to this. SImply amazing
2023 and this song and their sweet harmonies will live on forever with this beautiful song ❤❤❤😊
When my mother passed in 1973 at the age of 48 with 7 children 6 under the age of 21. We went to live with my sister in Alexandria Virginia. She played this song to us all the time. She taught me how to sing live love and to learn most of all peace for everyone I came to meet know and love. She helped raise 6 young children all at the tender age of 24. She is my sister Kathleen S. Pattison ( Giardina now). Thank you Simion and Garfunkel for your beautiful beautiful music.
Julie Fortenberry: You and your siblings are blessed to have had such an angelic sister. God bless your sister, again and again.
@@notbraindead7298 I do everyday. She is in every thing I am. She is so loved. We need more people like her. I'm glad she is my sister.
Beautiful history! God bless you and your family
So Beautiful 👏🏼 God Bless your sister 🫶👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@linagrote161 She is so loved . Still gab or try to every Friday or Monday. She still works at 75. She is definitely still a hard worker.
Classic! This is how music is suppose to sound!! Too sad we don’t have composers like these guys anymore! Pure talent!!! 👏👏👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Garfunkel was just the singer not the composer
Happy new year 😘🥰🎈🥂🥂🥂🎄🎄🎄🌹🌹🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉
@@valentinebronw
Happy new year wherever and whoever you are. 👍
Try Passenger maybe?
A man way ahead of his time. His words are still magical!
Absolutely wonderful! Simon and Garfunkel are geniuses, and their work live on..
These guys and their beautiful song have been moving me to tears since my college days ! I'm 80 this year and cry more than ever when I listen to this classic !
Дружище я с тобой держись и успехов в жизни
Amen!
Wish you to listen it next 80 years,sir.Or at least something better comes out.Cheers!
Ok
👍👍👍👍
No auto tuned voices, electronic beats, weird ass costumes & all that other crap. Just pure raw talent💜 It's so peaceful to hear sometimes.
I like nothing more than listening to their music, just so relaxing
Totally agree
Àmen
Man.... I remember watching this on BluRay and was like IF ONLY I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!
Tom Hanks Directed this, and what a masterpiece of a show this was!!!
@@LonexWolf415 really need 36 minutes ago it's October 28th and Denver this is awesome I don't understand how Tom Hanks directed it I hope you can answer me wonderful to find this late
this is the best version of this song that i have ever heard!! Art sounds angelic.
When this song came out, I was a young teen! I loved it so much then and still do, now!
1975 in the Philippines was a hot night I could never forget. I was 6 years old, and the whole town was in silence watching these two legends perform on TV.
Yeas❤️👌😇🦋
Wonderful memory !
👍👍👍in a moment I was in my precious childhood back to seventies.
GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
I’m 17 years old and I’m singing this song with my dad (68 years old) almost evr week since I was 8. My family love this song so much
Me too my friend
Best music ever son when songs had meaning not like the new junk
I'm 41 and also been listening to this with mom and dad on car radio since I was 5 . Good to know a 17 year old has great taste in music.
Me too but from thailand my grandpa like this song very much he always play this song
Their songs so bring generations together ❤️
Never get tired of this! April 2024
I absolutely loved this song when I was a lot lot younger. I'm now 62 and I still love it ❤️
Just because I'm a huge metalhead doesn't mean I don't listen to masterpieces like this.
My maaaaaaan!
Same here. Classic music is also in my playlist, For somereason classic and metal combine to make the most beautifull work. Whe else do metal singers make the best ballads?
Most of metal music comes from these songs because we all metalheads have the same goal. Peace and lot of great music. that´s only my opinion, I have listened hundreds of metal/rock bands and their message is clear. We are freaks, but we still understand each others and we are united! I actually liked "disturbed" version because they "updated the song" but only paul and art made it happen so. :D Sometimes we just don't wanna hear the bombs, maybe that´s the sound of silence :)
Your name😟
David Draiman brought us here.
1 guitar, 2 singers and one of the most iconic songs of all time. No fancy bullshit. Absolutely amazing
You mean it DOESN'T take light shows, ludicrous costumes, electronics to change the tone to the RIGHT tone?
Chris Young I get your drift, but they do have a back up band, electric guitars, drums, synths etc. but this is iconic.
best sentence ever good job summarizing my life thanks
Chris Young do you all seriously not hear the horrible warbles from the auto tune.
@Nigel James they don´t need them... the part only with the guitar is wonderful
I grew listening this song.40 year later I still listening
You will always be loved art and Paul, your harmonization is legendary
This is a total masterpiece and an unforgetable song . These men are not just songwriters and singers. They are storytellers of our lives.
@Louise how are you doing? Truly their songs never get old to me as well. The way they soothe my ears they’ll always be one of my greatest of all time
Yes they are.
Maravilhosos...sempre

That's right,Louise Sadowski..A forever green,marvellously exciting song!!!
One of the best songs of all time. It will never die.
Está música fes parte da minha vinda
Maurag
Absolutely 👍🏻 🕊🌍✌️
you are not wrong.
This song is even better than Bridge Over Troubled Water!
watched it hundreds of times, still get goosebumps every time. Absolutely envious of all those who were there at MSG!
They sounded as beautiful and pure as they did in the 60's!
No wild band, no half naked woman, no blinding lights. A guitar and two very talented artists Simon and Paul made the world a bit better to live in. Thanks God for giving talents to them.
. *But naked women and Bluetooth always improve anything, though.*
Not everything, for instance a children's party, or a wedding. Makes things trashy.
They gave themselves those talents through hard work and practice though
@@ryanmccloskey4292 absolutely
Actually, it's Art and Paul. (Simon is Paul's last name)
they're not humans they're angels
Edit:thanks for the likes!and also I used angels as a metaphor you don't have to comment telling me they're not angels or fight in the comments about religion...I felt like writing "angels" because in my first language(which is not english obviously)we often use this word when someone sings beautifully and with soul such as these two great musicians!
Oh, please. They are musicians. They sing well, they magnify jejune emotions; but they are all feeling and sloganizing, with paucity of understanding. They sang to an 18-year-old, and their warbling is still sweet; but after fifty years, they have not learned Churchill's lesson about maturing and putting aside utopian enthusiasms.
Garfunkel was early on a Randian, but he was soon schooled out of that way of thinking. Rather like Bill Gates when he gained acceptance among the masters of the universe. We all bow to the regime, but once we do, continuing to pretend to be a rebel is a hypocrisy that offends the Holy Spirit.
step off the ledge
You're not humans, you're an alien
Super Lied
I'm 72 it brings back a lot of memories❤❤❤
Clearly one of the best pop/rock/folk songs of all time. Truely iconic.
The guitar intro by Paul Simon was totally PERFECT.
Wow they still sound absolutely amazing ❤
This is true music and lyrics. This went out of the window after the 1980's.
The first line of this song grabs my spine with icy fingers of recognition. People can see with their eyes, but their minds are blind. To wish to speak but be rendered silent. To go forever mute among the hearing. This I recognize.
Very poetic
Don I loved your statement almost as much as this sing. you have a gift brother.
song
lindoooo
Don. Ah yes, " People writing songs that voices never share" actually happens.
these two make all other singers look amateur. This is the pinnacle of vocal music. Pure and unspoilt.
with autotune
Rico Cilliers timeless...
Realy is very good!

Rico Cilliers It's a story of depression. I feel it now after a loss. I try hard not to cry when i know i should, it's grieving, grieving is natural and this song has unleashed my tears.
