Art Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence [Art's vocals only]

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL
Subscribe (and also hit the notification bell) to catch future uploads. This channel is for all of us who love GREAT VOICES. There's something very intriguing about hearing just the voice. This is a special showcase featuring some great vocalists, giving us a glimpse into the recording and even the effects that were used on the voices (which normally get lost in the mix). No effects were added to these and any instruments you do hear are all from the original recordings. Headphone listening encouraged. (Our apologies to the other musicians in the video who aren't being heard.)

We encourage you to show some love for the original versions of these videos and go find and watch them.

Enjoy!

His vibrato is so quick. Great range and control. His voice is a gift. He really didn't need much coaching because the voice is just there.

[ArtGarfunkel]

you don't miss or hear paul his voice until his voice is not there
they really are a strong duo their vocals are really well blended together and just the lower notes of paul really make the song more full and finished

[broman]

Wow, to me this says he was the soul of the duo.

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
"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 the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

I appreciate how he just hits each note without ever sliding into or out of them.

[erinmalone]

He carried this this song. I love this song and Paul, with a passion, but dude carried the ache and melody.

[moondogaudiojones]

Wow! That’s the melody we mostly sing to! Beautiful! Paul’s iso was brilliant too!

[Lorena-tzlf]

Guau, eso sí es tener voz de verdad y la más hermosa! Y más encima viendo su rostro hermoso.

[restiequijote]

Angelic voice, which connot be forgotten forever.

[magdalenpowers]

I hope you do Paul Simon’s vocals on this as well. The harmonies are so stunning.

[lisaj]

Thank you for this! I’m obsessed with his voice

[randomfrog]

Its so cute, because there is a version of Paul only and there is a version of Art only.

People in the comments of Paul's harmony / those of us with lower vocal range:
"Cool, now I can use this to harmonize with Art!"

People in the comments of Art's harmony / those who are vocal range blessed:
"Cool, now I can use this to harmonize with Paul!"

[TH-MONK]

Art looks like a young Tom Cruise.

Flawless vocals.

[STPFAN]

Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkel’s vocals certainly blend but I’ve always preferred Garfunkel’s vocals especially hearing the original all-acoustic version of Sound Of Silence with Paul Simon guitar.

[uriahheep]

S&G were my first vinyl. remember vinyl?

[davitorres]

Please do this with Chris Isaak in wicked game

[Cantor.Onival]
