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 to 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 it's warning
And 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

Who thinks Tim’s voice is like melting chocolate, so smooth and silky

[louistrombetta]

I've been a singer since I was two. I've sung in a children's choir for eight years, sung everything from Panis Angelicus to Shuberts Ave Maria, in a 45 piece choir in church for 35 years,   blues and rock. I'm pushing 70 years old, been praised by professional and just ordinary music appreciators. In all my years I have never experienced voices like angels on high. You angels have fallen out of heaven to earth . You touch my soul and all that hear you. It is truly a God given gift. There's nothing else I can say but I love you angels. Never become silent. Louie the voice.

Tim Foust, Peter Hollens, Avi, Pentatonix if they all worked together to sing this song would be the most legendary musical event ever; same if that combo did a few other songs.

[MLDeS]

when that bass starts popping in, really completes the sound.

[deborahdavis]

I have never heard a voice that I could seriously FEEL from my head to my toes. Tim Foust voice is like a champagne butter, smooth, creamy and leaves you feeling all tingly.

[anniethompson]

Tim’s range absolutely blows my mind!!! Awesome arrangement

[MsPoopdragon]

After hearing the Disturbed cover of this song, I thought I would never hear another version of this song that gave me chills. You proved me wrong. This is amazing, thank you.

[treymiller]

lateish but idc. I wanna see Peter, Avi, and Tim sing a song together. All that bass would be simply amazing

[nataliemorton]

This song is from my era and never dreamed that other artists could be any better than Simon and Garfunkle. In the past year I have heard about 4 or 5, and I love them all. Your version with Tim is breathtaking in it's purity and beauty. I was a bit teary-eyed and so grateful that the two of you collaborated on this. I will be listening to this one a lot. Thank you from the Southern U.S. 🤗

[joancampbell]

Absolutely beautiful I, m 84 years old and I never get tired of listening your beautiful music 👍💕

[kenchappell]

I am a child of the sixties and a diehard fan of S&G.  No one can do any justice to the original version, , , , , , , , until now.

[vikkifajkus]

Peter I love your voice and songs.
The people you sing with are good. GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY 🙏

[smo]

People always comment on Tim's low range...but his high range is amazing too.

[gloriaallmomd]

Just found this in my feed; better late than never I guess. GREAT sound guys. AND you picked a great song too. Kudos to you both. I'm old enough to remember when Simon & Garfunkel made it famous. Always a favorite of mine.

[nechamakroll]

[jeannettebarker]

Thank you. From the past, lost children, of the 60's, lost no more. Saved from drugs and alcohol. Peace be with you.
