Simon & Garfunkel - Sound Of Silence (Monterey Pop Fest, 1967)

 

Simon & Garfunkel - Sound Of Silence

Monterey Pop Festival

June 16, 1967

 

Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive 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 deared
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 signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

 

Lack of Communication을 이야기한 노래...

Wednesday Morning 3 AM (1964), Sound of Silence (1966)에 Acoustic Version과 Electric Version이 각각 실려있습니다. Simon & Garfunkel이 세계적인 스타가 될수 있었던 발판이 되었던 노래라고 할수 있죠. 그렇지만, 제가 폴 사이먼 노래중 좋아하는 곡를 꼽자면 20위권 밖으로 나갈것 같습니다. 이거 말고도 좋은 노래가 많아서요. :-)
