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 dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Whoever made this rendition, you have my upmost respect. The farther I got into the song, the straighter I sat in my chair. You made me sit in super serious position.

[fredza]

the best remake of this song Ive heard in 34 years of existence

[junhamil]

if only Disturbed has this Thundering bass in his version of this Song, then his would be the best ever Sound of Silence! thundering bass that reverberates and echoes deep that touches the soul! ahhh! so satisfying!

[DragonMasterThlayli]

I'm loving this version! The lyrics seem to take on a whole different meaning when done this way!

[goldth]

This is closer to what I expected when I heard Disturbed did a cover.

[teoteous]

Such a 'peaceful' song that seems to be ready to leap up and kick my ass at a moments notice.

[RodrigoTechador]

The violin homage to Nightwish in the outro is just gorgeous, but then again, so is the whole song. There is something about the drums in the second third of the song that puts such a special stamp on this version.

[Alar.Lillevali]

I am so happy I found you, +Jennyni20 (like 5 years ago i think or even a little more). You have introduced me too a lot of good music, and i am really thankful to you :)

-Big hugs from Estonia :)

[DrunkenSailors]

I just returned home from a Strip show, most girls who did pole dancing chose awful songs but then one girl used THIS one, and I was so shocked, and the way she danced, totally connected to the song with passion, I swear that girl dancer had character, still can't believe it.

[Xandina]

from 3:30 that epic tune with the violins and choir that sample sounds like something I heard before

[eriktaylor]

this seems more sad than the original like it has anger in the guitar that tells the story of an loss of an loved one this has a lot of emotion in it. awesome...

[jenniferhightower]

I'm so bummed. I love this version, but there are whole verses left out. I would love to find a longer version of this with all the verses :(

[skypieajourney]

Love this blend so much! Great music, great composer.

[marlo]

holly fuck...this is the pure definition of Epic...I like many cover versions of this song, but this one makes the top 5 for sure..also, these are the most incredible lyrics ever written

[hexenkonig]

this Version is a way better than disturbed

[hannahiseithertiredorwired]

This is perfect for a movie sound track.

[jamesriebeling]

Best song of all time and this so amazing good and makes just keep moving forward positive. Love it.
Thank You

[AsaliahWu]

Excellent version of Sound of Silence, really makes me feel unique emotions, fills me with energy to keep going, to do the everyday things or making important decisions. A masterpiece to my ears.

[silverd]

Oh. my. god. This is the best cover I've ever heard. Oh wow, this is unreal.

[megamarsonic]

"Another wandering lost soul I see."
"Lost? Nah."
