"The Sound Of Silence"
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 streetlamp 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 No one dare Disturb the sound of silence
“Fools” said I, “You do not know Silence like a cancer grow 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 subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence” |
Someone sent me this video and I put it up here,
so that it's not just me to watch and hear the singer and her song.
Years and years ago, I heard Dana Winner's song, "Stay With Me Till The Morning."
And I just wondered, how, in the world, someone can be so pretty and sounds so good !
Now, here is another one of those.
Pretty blondes are generally supposed to be stupid but this one surely isn't.
She's a great artist !!
