Exploring "Sound of Silence"

Hey friend! 🌿

Welcome back to day two of our virtual garden party! Today, I'm excited to share with you my rendition of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence.”

If you know me, you know I LOVE doing covers—not just repeating the original, but putting my own spin on it. 🎻

Covers are a way for me to connect deeply with the music and sometimes even discover new perspectives.

"Sound of Silence" holds a special place in my heart. The lyrics are timeless and incredibly relevant, and the song has a powerful emotional connection for me.

After hearing Disturbed’s version, I was inspired to create my own rendition. 💫

I hope you enjoy listening to my version as much as I enjoyed working on it.

SOUND OF SILENCE 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 the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

Thank you so much for joining me for today's session of our Garden Party!

It means the world to me to have your support and to share these stories with you. I hope today's song resonates with you as much as it does with me.

Stay tuned for the next session, where we'll explore another special song together.

Until then, take care and enjoy the music.🌿
