Currently Playing: The Sound of Silence | The Longest Johns - Simon & Garfunkel Cover

Thanks to your suggestions, we’ve decided to give the wonderful song “The Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel a go. We decided to keep this really stripped back and bare to let the words ring out even more, so hope you enjoy this arrangement. We'd love to hear your suggestions for other songs you'd like us to cover in too. Please leave a comment below with your recommendations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Longest Johns https://bio.site/TheLongestJohns https://www.facebook.com/TheLongestJohns https://twitter.com/TheLongestJohns http://www.instagram.com/thelongestjohns https://www.twitch.tv/longestjohnsgaming https://discord.gg/DmrBxG8 http://www.thelongestjohns.com https://open.spotify.com/artist/5k979N1TnPncUyqlXlaRSv -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 shared 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 Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence
