Lyrics
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 the 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
And no one dared
Disturb the sound
Of silence
(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 sound
Of silence

'Mitch-slapped' refers to the look of shock that many reactors have when they first hear Mitch sing. It's so unexpected and amazing that people are taken aback...as if slapped. Don't take it the wrong way, we've all been Mitch-slapped and we love it.
Yup, was coming here to say this. And yes, Mitch has the voice of an angel. A great idea for you is to go their beginning. That would be the sing off season 3, and include the judges comments.
They don't have a true lead singer, but Scott was thrust in the role, as he did put the group together, and has the most confidence. Plus, if you do the PTX sing off journey, you will see the original Mitch slap. That is truly baby PTX. Enjoy
Absolutely right!
you can mitch slap me again and again.
Totally agree! I'm "Mitch slapped" everytime I hear him sing. I love it & am totally ok with it!
@@wren9463 Contratenor just for future reference
Mr. Fade, Kevin Olusola, is arguably the best musician in this group of amazing musicians. As a teen he played Carnegie Hall...twice. Once on Sax and then on Cello. He was pre-med at Yale while also playing cello in their orchestra. He then spent a year in China studying and learned Mandarin. He placed runner-up in a Yo-Yo Ma competition. I believe it was during this time that he invented Cello-boxing (playing cello while beatboxing). He also sings and produces. An excellent example of what this man can do, musically, can be seen in his KOver of 'Down' or 'Sign of the Times'. Highly recommend checking those out.
Yeah. That was quite a disrespectful comment that he made about Kevin, the only one on that platform who is probably only centimeters away from genius status, if he isn't already.
Paul Simon wrote this song originally. Simon and Garfunkel’s version seemed more upbeat. Disturbed made a cover of it and it sounds great to me. It’s slower and haunting but good.
I love all three versions. Disturbed blew my mind, next Pentatonix's did.
I like the disturbed version because it tells the story of the song visually in a way that anyone can understand but I like this version better sound wise.
Correct a good friend of mine. You got it
@C.Marie Absolutely!! I rarely comment (bad cataracts, I can’t see what l’ve written unless I write in all caps).
Definitely check all three versions!
The gentleman in the white jacket is Matt, he is the new bass singer who replaced Avi Kaplin. That is the only change the group has had. The term "Mitch slapped" is a play on words for "Bitch Slapped" You can not go wrong with any song by them. I would suggest their cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" "Daft Punk Medley" and their original song called "Sing"
I couldn’t agree with this comment more! ⬆️👍🏻
I like Matt. I miss Avi
The Mitch Slap is that look of utter shock and surprise people have the first time they hear Mitch sing his solos.
Yes sir
@@CaseyinTexas like in ther cover of Hallelujah
Their Daft Punk Medley is one not to be missed! Songs like the Sound of Silence and Hallelujah lend themselves easily to be sung by an acapella group but Daft Punk, with it's modern and techno sound does not; and what they do with it is incredible!
and "Love again"
Tue!
@@SaleBSGN exact my words, Daft Punk and Love Again are one of the best. Also look on Sing Off with Pentatonix, they made their way there from scratch to top.
The beatbox dude (with the fade) is actually an AMAZING singer. He has a solo section on "Mary, Did You Know." My favorite song by them...
No matter how many times I hear their songs, I still get goosebumps hearing Kevin do his thing. Yes, they are all great singers, but Kevin and his mind blowing talent is what makes the difference.
Amazing Grace is my favorite. First time hearing them sing it, I was overcome with multiple emotions. It is beautiful!!!
Mine too!
Oh my God!!! They always give me goosebumps. Even on their impromptu on Tictok.
they change who has a lead depending on the song, but usually they all get to shine
True
"There's never a weak link!" great comment... love your reaction. I'm a Pentaholic granny that was around for the original Simon & Garfunkel version, so forget there's people out there that don't know this wonderful song.
This is a 1960s song originally by Simon and Garfunkel. Check that one out also, and then check out Disturbed's version... completely different vibe from yesterday's video 🤣 Missed your videos JoJo! Glad to see you back!!! 👏❤
For real, the Disturbed version goes hard!
This is basically a cover of Disturbeds cover for speed tone etc
Yessss! The original by Simon and Garfunkel! My dad listened to that whole album on vinyl all the time. 🥰
It's amazing. Lately there has been a lot of attention for covers. The original is often referred to. But no one seems to give it more attention.
Don't get me wrong, most of the covers are pretty good. But still...I guess growing up with the original has given me a bias.
Anyway: Go for the original!
Puddles pity party does a version too and it is probably my favorite.
Back in the late 1960's, two young poet folk musicians, Simon and Garfunkel, wrote and began performing the 'Sound of Silence.' The Pentatonix simply breathe new life into what already is great art... they make the song absolutely magical.
The next Pentatonix video for you must be Bohemian Rhapsody. You will REALLY see what they are capable of. The guy on the end is Matt, the bass. Avi left the group in 2017 and Matt replaced him.
"Mitchslapped" is just referring to how his voice leaves you in awe, like speechless. The "TF" effect of his voice.
Also check out their song "Daft Punk", it's basically a really cool remix of a bunch of Daft Punk songs.
Disturbed's version of this song is amazing. its crazy how the lead singer David twist from metal to classical sounding and back
That's very "disturbing," 🤣
This is a unique group. They had one change in base. Matt replaced Avi a few years back. To get a close up view try the Gold and Havana covers. First has Avi and the second Matt. All the others are the same, although they may look different, especially Kirsten and Mitch who are always changing hair color or style.
They will not record anything if they can't sing it LIVE !!!!! They have come so far from the days when they won the Sing Off. Matt is the new member that replaced Avi when he left. Kevin the beat boxer is classically trained celloist. U need to check out the video ur dad just did w just Kevin. It was the video on utube that Scott (tall blonde) saw & asked him to join weeks B4 they start the Sing off. Scott Kirstie & Mitch have been singing 2gether since highschool !!!!!
There are only 5 members of Pentatonix. The one in the white jacket is Matt. Avi (Jesus looking guy) left the group a few years ago and Matt joined the group as bass. The other members are Keven (beat boxer who can sing amazingly), Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin. Mitch and Kirstin (or Kirstie) are chameleons and change their looks often.
The lead singer, is the one singing at that moment! This group is amazing.
Definitely need to react to the Disturbed version of this song. It's incredible.
First, this is a protest song in poetic form from the 1960's, warning people about propaganda, shallow living, and intolerance, the evil of not speaking up, and the evil of suppressing free speech. It's a good song to listen to several times, paying attention to the lyrics. Second, I suggest listening to the original by the singers Simon and Garfunkel, then listen to the other modern reinterpretation by the group Disturbed. For Disturbed, listen to the live version on Conan, not their studio version. And, yeah, they are all lead singers, they're so d@mn good.
No, No, No, not the Conan live version first but the official audio video first! It is full of David's emotions where as in the live version, although good, lacks the emotional aspects I believe he was trying to impress on the listeners and viewers as the video enhances the experience!
Yes, yes yes!
Anyone who doesn't recommend a person to hear, watch/play a groups or artists official video/audio, in my opinion, do not appreciate the band or artist and their work! Why promote another channel other than the artists own channel(s) and music/work!????? Yes, I agree the live version is good, however, the original, official video is ultimately infinitely BETTER!!! Simple as that!
The rendition by Disturbed is definitely a must listen! It brought me to tears my first time hearing it. RT is spot-on with the history of the original song, but if you really pay attention to the lyrics, it is still relevant with respect to the proliferation of digital media in our lives, separating us by substituting for interpersonal communication.
Only thing I would add is that it's a warning/protest song but still upbeat as fitting the mood of that era; there was still hope for positive change. Fast forward ~50-60 years, and we have Disturbed's cover - darker, grittier, angrier.
She is called the queen of goosebumps, a unique voice - contralto with polyphonic overtones. Full vocal range - 4 octaves.

Vocal sorcery ☀️☀️☀️
Kevin, the beatboxer, just learned to sing since he joined the group 11 years ago. He signed on as a beat boxer. He is very musically inclined and plays world class cello, sax, and piano. In 2017, the bass singer, Avi, left the band for various reasons, and Matt (the guy in the white jacket) was signed on as the new bass. Otherwise, the members are the same. Not only have they been around a long time, so their looks have changed over the years as they have matured, but Kirstie and Mitch (the high voiced male) change their looks up a lot. But their voices are always the same. EPIC! Go to their channel and check out their 200+ songs in their catalog. They have done many covers, but also originals. I look forward to your next Pentatonix (aka PTX) reaction.
Just learned to sing after joining.....? The first time I heard Kevin open his mouth and start singing, I almost fell over. New Pentaholic here, and I just keep hearing new amazing things about them.
@@SRG4782 As an older Pentaholic you should definitely check out their cover of Amazing Grace if you'd like to be truly wowed by Kevin's voice
@@mydarlingyams3285 I now almost feel like a veteran after listening to them these past months. Amazing Grace is a good one. My favorites of Kevin are Imagine, Mary Did You Know, and his solo cover of Down.
There used to be a show on NBC many years ago called The Sing Off, I believe, if you can find it you should watch some episodes and just be prepared to see what a true a cappella group can do. They don’t use any instruments, every sound is created by one of the group. And Pentatonix won one of the years…..it’s been a while and I didn’t research it, but if you wanna be blown away, just try to find a few episodes. Truly AMAZING, creative, pure talent!!
Pentatonix is amazing and even at that, to take on Art Garfunkle is brave. An amazing performance.
The sound of silence:"The inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly intentionally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other".( A. Garfunkel)
I have to totally disagree with that statement. Loving someone and communicating with them are two different things. That’s just my opinion of course.
@@TexasRose50 you are welcome to "totally disagree", but please be mindful that Victor is quoting the guy that wrote 'The Sound of Silence'. So, Garfunkel has a much better grasp of what the song is about, regardless if you think his reasoning is flawed.
@ Kelly Schuler, I fully understand what the statement means, according to him, regarding the song. But I still disagree if that is a blanket statement including all people and their emotions. It’s simple not true. Maybe through his life experiences, but certainly not mine.
please listen to Simon and Garfunkel...original version is really amazing.....good job dear Jojo..hugs from France
Making that giant wall of sound with only five voices requires loads of talent, tons of work, and absolute trust in each other. So many people who grew up singing in choirs at school or houses of worship know just how hard that level of perfection is to achieve. But they make it seem effortless.
Kevin doesn't just beatbox. He has a beautiful voice.
Can't EVER go wrong with any and all of PTX...their "upgrades" and "original" music is ALL EPIC!!! I can not wait until you react to some of the songs where they change up their genres and blow ppl's minds :P Stay safe, and healthy cutie pie
“The vocal sorcery”. Brilliant!!
Have you ever listened to Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence? The visuals they have to go along with it are an amazing interpretation of the lyric's meaning, but they did an absolute killer job with the song. It's a tie whether I love their cover or Pentatonix's cover more, they're both haunting in different ways.
Hello! Thank you for the video! I suggest you meet a young singer from Russia - *Diana* *Ankudinova* . You will be surprised by her unique voice and manner of performance!
I would recommend you check out the original along with these other Simon & Garfunkel or Paul Simon solo songs:
A Hazy Shade of Winter
Scarborough Fair/Canticle
I Am a Rock
The Boxer
Mrs. Robinson
Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
Kodachrome
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
Simon was a hit machine!
And don't forget Feelin' Groovy! Very underrated song!
Greatest duo of all time and Paul Simon a lyrical genius. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was their biggest hit and won a few Grammys.
Try listening to a group called Voice Play singing Hoist the Colors. Also acappella group
Yes, Kevin (the beatboxer) has a great voice also. Every one of them is just that good. "Radioactive" with Lindsey Stirling is awesome (Kevin plays cello on that one).
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful Pentatonix video. In their 10-year history, there has only been 1 member change. Avi, the original bass, left in 2017 and Matt, the current bass (in the white jacket), has been their bass since late 2017. Everyone else has been in the band the whole time. Kirstin and Mitch change their looks a lot but it's always them. Kevin, the beatboxer, sings beautifully. You'll hear him sing in some songs. Check out his TH-cam channel. Everything on it is amazing.
I got goosebumps the entire song over and over and over. I love them so much.
All the stans coming out getting him all caught up with this group :) I love it! That side eye of is this for real how we feel when we hear it each it time :)
I really liked your review. Yes, you DO sound like a music teacher. The LFR continues to the next generation. You all bring me a lot of joy.
That’s what makes them such a Great group. ALL of them Share the lead. No one just Stands Out. All of them are phenomenal and they love each other like family. So nobody cares who is singing lead as long as it sounds perfect. Just an Awesome group.
All of them are leading singers, they all made the sounds, this is extrodinary.
I love how real you are when you speak of other singers! You are kind and gentle of heart
1964...is when this song was written by Paul Simon and growing up in the early 70's, their voices singing it has the perfect feel of that time. I feel truly blessed that I grew up in that era.
Nice reacting video +1 for yo energy ‼️🙏🏿
Please react to Pentatonix singing “ The Prayer”. Also check out “Beginners Guide to Pentatonix” you will learn all about the Group
They are so locked in their harmonies they produced what is called "overtones". Makes notes that aren't being sung but producing overtones. And undertones.
Some of music is poetry. SOUND OF SILENCE. INCONGRUOUS yet speaks volumes.
GET IT, Some certain minds can comprehend.
The lead singer is whoever is singing at the time. they all sing so well, We Trust whoever is taking the lead to do it with perfection.
You really need to go back a few decades and then listen to this again.
Mitch slapped means the surprise reaction to his voice. He is unbelievable.
I know it was done in the 1960s, but it never ceases to amaze me how old I must be to be surprised at how many young artists don't know the song or Simon and Garfunkel. Welcome! Scott (tall guy, lead singer) does the intro and Mitch is the singer you were thinking of. They are the originals, and started out singing in high school choir in Texas (how would you like to be directing that group?) This, brother, is the music we came of age on. Again, welcome! Give a listen to "Mary Did You Know?" and "Hallelujah".
I'm I'm sitting in my 97 degree living room and I have chills up and down my arms! That's how amazing this is. 😍
You must listen to the song to find out what it means!
This is a Simon and Garfunkel song, from the 1960s. We had a lot of social turbulence: an unpopular war killing our sons and brothers plus race riots.
The name (Pentatonix) contains the prefix “penta” which means “five.” The Pentagon is a five-sided building. Pentatonix has five members.
This duo (Simon & Garfunkel) made MANY hit songs. Listen to the original of this song, you will like it. (Also, Disturbed does a great version. Compare all three versions.)
More S&G: Bridge Over Troubled Water, The Boxer, El Condor Pasa, America. Just find their albums and listen to every song. It is well worth it.
Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, aired on the radio I think in the 70’s and ppl thought we were being invaded 😂
If you listen what makes them unique is they sing from there heart and soul..they believe in what they sing in some sense..amazes me how no one sees or comments on this..
This classic Simon and Garfunkel song, is still relevant today, a can be applied to remaining silent to injustice and the evils of our society. Two more covers to check out is Disturbed's powerful and angry cover which comments on the idea that people ignored the gentle warning of the original song. David Draiman's powerful voice is perfect for the song. Then, there is adorable, (12y/o) Jadyn Rylee who covers the Disturbed version, which also went viral.
Mmmm the sound of silence is such a great song, I can't wait to hear this.
They are UNMATCHED in the acepella world yo frfr I saw them live it was LIFE CHANGING 😭😭😭😭😭
When you all have insane talent individually and can keep ego out and allow each part to have its moment as the song needs... that's greatness. Pentatonix are among the best. Truly talented singers.
It’s a HOOT! It grabs you like an old favorite sweater that wraps you in love and warmth, cuddle up let’s enjoy together.
Thank you for choosing this I have not heard this version
I haven’t heard them sing this in awhile. I have gotten to the point that I like the Distrubed version.
You should definitely read the lyrics to "The Sound of Silence" and listen to the same song by Disturbed, another group that does a great job of it. The song was written by Simon and Garfunkel in 1964 and is still being done by many different groups.
You are just the sweetest, young man. Your honest critique while listening to the mastery of vocals is both crystal clear and with the amazement of sheer joy! And, I will also tell you, it takes a keen sense of hearing and talent to make such accurate statements. I don’t know what you do for a living, but if you’re can sing, then I’d like to hear you. So my suggestion is, let me and the world hear you sing. Please.
Kevin is a musical genius! His beat boxing skills are the best around
Listen to amazing grace. You will absolutely have chills.
This is real music! They can each sing, & they all sing so very well together! They all can sound like instruments, too! Welcome down the Pentatonix rabbit hole!
Thank you for playing Pentatonix!
As individuals they are great vocalist but in the music world there are a lot of people who are great. I hope the know what makes them special and amazing is the whole group together.
All extremely talented and each adds a unique voice to their songs. I never tire of listening to Pentatonix including the earlier songs with Avi Kaplan with his wonderful bass voice!
They have a 90s dance/song mix up too. Gotta hit that one, it is very GROOVY
They are SOOOO amazing!!! I love all of the harmonies. So many different harmonies it's hard for me to hear all of them. So smooth and beautiful.
I just love your reactions and comments. Keep it up, JoJo!!
Oh he can sing! The dude with the fade, the beatbox guy. He can SING!
I have loved Pentatonix since I first saw them winning a singing contest for Arcappella groups. They are all amazing.
The one on the end. The beat boxer. Has a stunning voice.
Love love how you described Mitche's gorgeous voice. Hi from New Zealand 😀
You should definitely check out their Evolution of Rihanna. It is a medley of songs that is recorded live. You are going to blown away by the level of talent in these five.
"Vocal sorcery" is now my very favorite description of the Pentatonix.
Thanks for what you do here! I love your videos because it's like getting to hear a song for the first time all over again and experiencing that magic!
Literally every song by them, I recommend, but a few to start with: Can’t Hold Us, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, oh, and check out Scott and Mitch’s medleys over on their channel Superfruit.
To me, this song evokes traveling through a world where people never had a sense of hearing. A pilgrim walking through a deaf world. The idea always makes me wonder what that kind of world would be like.
The guy that was singing with the long hair in the Hallelujah video his name is Avi Kaplan, he left the group to be able to spend more time with his family.
For anyone still new to the group,
Check out Ring of fire with Home free and Avi Kaplan.
It will blow your mind.
This is great bro, just love your stuff man. Keep it up!
I can't pick a a favorite..they are all so damn good
Voices ARE instruments....the greatest of all instruments, Are your natural God-given voices. 😉
He can do it. Seen him do it in person. Kevin is just THAT GOOD
As mentioned by others, the only member change is the bass. When the original basso profundo Avi Kaplan left the band in October 2017 the guy in the white jacket, Matt Salle, was brought on board as the bass. The members change up their looks often and some reactors get confused by that and think they are new members. The two who change their looks most often are Mitch Grassi and Kirstie Maldonado. Though Scott Hoying (tall blonde) generally opens most songs, there is really no need for a lead singer in this band. They are insanely talented individuals and are individually show cased often as was the case in this video. You have a clever mind, and I enjoyed your analogies. Hope to see you do more PTX. They are 3-time Grammy winners.
That's the sound when your married is so loud it's unbelievable your mind runs 1000 mph.
You are spot on JJ. So young and such a deep thinker is impressive.
No matter how often I hear this, I always get goosebumps when it’s Matt‘s turn, the first line. At „And in the naked light I Saaaaaw“
And then again when his voice drops to bass again at the end of the verse. Geez!
This song is prophetic in itself. The neon God that they made...damn.
Great voices, great arrangement. Check out Simon and Garfunkel's "A Hazy Shade of Winter," also written by Paul Simon.
Skip the Bangles version.
They rocked this song everyone had there own part awesome
What I really love about them is that they literally vocalize their music 🥰 strait vocal!!! Literally only the treb is posted in the back...and they all have their own talents which reminds me of church
Scott (tall guy in the middle) and Mitch have also formed Superfruit. They did a cover of The Promise that is amazing!
I absolutely love this song, and love Pentatonix . Little drummer boy is wonderful also
"Vocal sorcery" followed up with "I sound like a music teacher." 🤣🤣
Jojo, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I like the innocents of your reaction, there is so much going on there, that you can only understand with time. you will get there
THEY ARE ALL GREAT SINGERS!!!!!!!
