The Sound of Silence

Simon and Garfunkel foi um dueto americano de música popular, formado por Paul Simon e Arthur 'Art' Garfunkel . Conheceram ainda no colégio, em 1953. Em 1957, formaram o grupo Tom and Jerry, e conseguiram um relativo sucesso com o hit "Hey Schoolgirl". Como Simon and Garfunkel, a dupla alcançou a fama em 1965, apoiados no single " The Sound of Silence ".

Simon and Garfunkel foram conhecidos por suas composições harmoniosas e relacionamento eventualmente instável. Seu último álbum, Bridge Over Troubled Water , foi marcado por constantes brigas devido a diferenças artisticas. De toda forma, não deixam de ser um dos grupos mais populares dos anos sessenta , com as canções " The Sound of Silence ", " Mrs. Robinson" e "Bridge Over Troubled Water".

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 share

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.

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls."
