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
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

And the sign said, "The words of prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

Too much stereo. You did a great job of making the instruments pop but indeed you did such a great job of this that you took away from the beautiful subtleties of the vocals and original recording.
