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 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 dare
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
And whispered in the sound
Of silence"

  • I'M 72 years old. I think this is my new favorite band. This guy's voice is unbelievable.my former favorite band was Jethro Tull. I would love to see these guys in concert, But at my age , I probably wouldn't be accepted in the audience. But man, These guys are so talented. And their Songs have such great messages, they touch my heart. I'm sorry I didn't discover them sooner.

    Myles is an underated talent. That was a difficult harmony and he killed it.
  • @wendyimrei2353
    … if we are listening to this rendition, and STILL LISTENING! Then DISTURBED HAVE DONE, justice to & respect, Simon & Garfunkel also! I hope to keep listening and loving this, until the time I draw my last breath. It’s ok, I’m a beautiful, HEALTHCARE Worker xox ❤Love, Wendy from Australia
  • @wendyimrei2353
    A huge tribute and thank you to Simon and Garfunkel.. it’s so rare that any artist or band can do the original song justice.. and, Disturbed, I really feel you’ve done exactly that! I’m now 63, Healthcare Worker.. there are some really talented singers, solo, bands today.. be open minded and just search, seriously.. how did we all come to this..Disturbed? Love, Wendy from Australia x❤

    For fucks sake! Where have I been the last 6 years?!? I’m 66 years old and I have NEVER been moved by a piece of music as much as I was listening to this rendition. Absolutely the best!
  • @fsu88me
    Still one of the best duo performances ever! Peace and happiness in 2024
  • @mrwolf2603
    Miles Kennedy’s voice is certainly the reason why Alter Bridge is so amazing. Truly kills it not only in his own band but also in this.
  • @sriaknal
    I said that no one could improve on the sound of silence. Then Disturbed got involved. I then said "Now, no one could improve the sound of silence". Then Myles Kennedy got involved.
  • @mattcurtis9080
    I hope people realize just how hard that harmony is. Ridiculously difficult. Kennedy's voice is next level.
  • I’m the millionth person to say it, but those harmonies are fucking HARD. Myles absolutely nailed it. Holy crap. I thought Disturbed’s original cover was the best it could be - nope. Wrong-o! They elevated it AGAIN! I would love for this to be released as a single.
  • @ducknorris9715
    you know a band is good when the studio version sounds just as good as the live version
  • @julianblock5436
    I am 69, a lifelong Simon & Garfunkel fan and a stranger to Disturbed before today. This is amazing, I'm in tears. Thank you guys.
  • I'm going through a detox and rehab after 25 yrs of class a addiction and this is transferable and relatable thank you brother for helping me through. 2 months clean . Just think you much love Daz❤
  • @ladyT_VR46

  • I cannot believe I've missed this for 5 years now. Thanks Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice for pointing me to this!
  • @Sassysandra007
