Day 16 - #song #TheSoundofSilence #SimonandGarfunkel #PoetryMatters
The poem consists of five irregular stanzas in which the poet describes the conflict between spiritual and material values in our modern world. It begins with an address to darkness. The narrator says that he has come to talk to it because a certain vision has planted its seeds in his brain while he was sleeping. The vision still remains there in the sound of silence.
Cathythoughts I love this song ♥️👍🏻 (edited) 5y
gradcat @Cathythoughts Me, too, and I know of several other singers and/or bands who have covered it—all beautifully. This song must lend itself to alternative arrangements, but I‘ll listen to any & all of them—with relish! ♥️ 5y

EadieB @LiterRohde That must have been a great concert. I love A cappella singers! 5y
LiterRohde @EadieB It was really good. They also did a cover of Hallelujah: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LRP8d7hhpoQ 5y
EadieB @LiterRohde Both songs were very beautiful! 5y
LiterRohde @EadieB It really is amazing to me that all of that is just voice. And it was interesting to hear that live in concert. 5y
EadieB @LiterRohde I can imagine the chills that would it would give me! Very touching! 5y
LiterRohde And I didn‘t bother to find out who was opening for them, but it turned out to be Rachel Platten of “ Fight Song” fame. So that was cool. 5y
EadieB @LiterRohde Definite added bonus! 5y
