The Sound of Silence was originally released as "The Sounds of Silence" in 1964 by Simon and Garfunkel, and Toni and I have been planning to do this one for literally years now. I'm glad I finally got to realize my dream of becoming Art Garfunkel, at least for a moment. Also, I had never heard Disturbed's version of this song until looking it up in preparation for this video, and astoundingly, it seems more people know that version than the original! They're both worth a listen. :)

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written in the last 100 years.

[CaptHollister]

When I was in elementary school, I think it was grade 4 or 5, our teacher made us learn this song. It was many years before I understood it, but my point is that it's been with me for the past 53 years. In that time there have been a handful of covers that I found worthy of the original. Yours is one of them.

The connection between Reina and Toni sends chills through me.

[wornouttire]

Nothing against Disturbed, but harmonizing like Paul and Art just took me back to listening to this 50 years ago. The voices of angels....

[robertbates]

Very nicely done ladies . I'm a 76 year old man with good memories from the era . Thanks !

[billwebb]

Toni harmonizes with Reina! Is there anything Toni can’t do! I could listen to them all day!

[johnnyo]

You two amazing talented young women just put the biggest smile on this old Viet Nam Vets face and in my you so much---never stop!!😇🥰😎🙏

[jeffreyrhine]

So good to hear young folks playing the music of my youth, and performing well, without the need for all the flash.

[davidflint]

I have watched you every Sunday for years with my coffee in hand. But today I would especially like to thank you for a wonderful 66th birthday present. This performance. 👍👍👀🎸🙏

A dystopian nightmare, reminiscent of the last verse of American Pie. “In the streets, the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed, but not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken”.
You do Paul Simon so well.

[gaetanlelu]

Thousands people were waiting for this by you silently: the day came - and the rendition has been even greater than expected.

[Johannore]

Speechless... Dicovered these girls yesterday and now I can't seem to stop watching and listening!
Much love!

[lgbunbury]

I’ve been playing : singing this song for twenty years but have never even come close to this video! Y’all made my day!!! Ottawa, Canada

[be.kind.to.animals]

The dynamic duo do it again. Brilliant 🎶🎸🎶😀

[princechiramba]

I have never heard so much beauty in one place. A harmonious blend of melodic voices.

[itsgottobesaid]

I'm 73 and this so reminds of my youth when life seemed so carefree as I remember it now but I guess it wasn't.I'm pretty sure it was in the backing of one of my favourite movies then too-The Graduate, when I fell in love with Katherine Ross.
Simon and Garfunkel would be so happy with your beautiful performance ladies.

[tommymoon]

I, too, am a long time listener but never comment. This, however, was stunning. I can’t count how many times I’ve listened to this song in my lifetime, but I can’t remember one that moved me as much as listening to you talented young women. I must have clicked “replay” a half a dozen times.

[jamesbrown]

Beautiful music by beautiful ladies on a beautiful morning here in Kentucky! Can’t ask for much more than that. Thank you!

[wtan]

Uncles Simon and Garfunkel will be proud of the guitar work and harmony.

[CaptainHugo-go]

Broke the sound of bedtime silence to visit my two fav ladies for their beautiful version of a Simon/Garfuncle classic.
