The sound of silence-Simon & Garfunkel The sound of silence (Simon & Garfunkel) [Graduate]

Hello darkness my old friend. Hey, darkness, my old friend.

I've e 2 talk with U again.

Because a vision softly creeping. Because there is a phantom creeping in softly.

Left its seeds while I was sleeping. I sowed the seeds secretly while I was sleeping.

And the vision that was planted in my brain.

Still remains. lingering.

Within the sound of silence! At this moment of silence!

In restless dreams I walk alone. In countless restless dreams I walk alone.

Narrow streets of cobble stone. Walking on the narrow streets paved with cobblestones.

'Neath the halo of a street lamp. The halo of the street lamp overhead enveloped me.

I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp. I turned up my collar to resist the cold and wet night.

When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light. When my eyes were mesmerized by the flash of a neon light.

That split the night. The flash of neon lights also split the night sky.

And touched the sound of silence. broke the silence of the night.

And in the naked night I saw. Under the unshaded light I saw-

Ten thousand people maybe more. Crowded people

People talking without speaking .Some people are talking boring words.

People hearing without listening. Some people are listening to others indifferently.

People writing songs that voices never share. Some people are writing songs that will never be sung.

And no one dare. But no one dares to-

Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fool" said I "U do not know." I said: "Fool, you don't know."

"Silence like a cancer grows." Cancer cells spread like that.

"Hear my words that I might teach U." Hear my words that I might teach you.

"Take my arms that I might reach U."

But my words like silent rain-drops fell. But my words fell like silent rain-drops.

And echoed in the wells of silence. Echoed in vain in the wells of silence.

And the people bow & prayed.

To the neon God they made. The neon god (civilization) they made.

And the sign flash out its warning. The neon light (civilization) shows its omen with its flashing words.

In the words that it was forming. (Civilized) warning words gradually took shape.

And the sign said "The words of the prophets.

Are written the subway walls & tenement halls". In the hallway of the rental apartment.

And whispered in the sounds of silence.

The sound of silence

Director Dustin Hoffman's famous work "The Graduate" released in 1967 is an important masterpiece. Starring Sting Hoffman, Katherine Ross, and Anne Bancroft, it won the 40th Academy Award for Best Director, the 25th Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Several awards including Best Actress and Best Newcomer.

The plot describes Benn’s parents as they are busy preparing for a family party to celebrate his graduation, but Benn feels at a loss about his future life. Mrs. Robinson, one of the guests, was very interested in the young man and kept teasing Ben, but was rejected. But life was so boring that soon he began a tryst with Mrs. Robinson, and at the same time he also fell in love with her daughter Elaine. After knowing the truth, Mrs. Robinson firmly opposed it and tried every means to break up the relationship between the two. Ben finally found the opportunity to confess his love to Elaine and confessed his fall, but did not say the lady's name. Elaine forgave him, but Mrs. Robinson's anger made Elaine guess everything. She sadly decided to marry someone else. When Ben heard the news, he rushed to the church desperately, trying his best to win back his lover's heart.

"The Graduate" movie soundtrack is composed by Dave. Dave Grusin co-wrote with Paul Simon, with the former responsible for the music and the latter responsible for many of the soundtracks in the film, including the popular "The Sound Of Silence", "Scaebrough Fair", "Mrs. Robinson", etc. , were all catchy best-selling songs back then. Grusin is a famous jazz pianist, but his soundtrack style is quite diverse. This film prefers a fresh folk style, which can well reflect the mentality of college students who are not yet deeply involved in the world. Simon is the lead composer of the famous folk duo "Simon And Garfunkel".

Paul Simon is a miracle in the American music scene. He is often praised as a composer, singer and guitarist. In fact, it is not too much to add a poet. Almost all of his solo singing and duets with Art Garfunkel were performed by him. His lyrics are all beautiful poetry, and his songs have melodious and charming melodies. Simon and Garfunkel's duet, which has been popular for many years since the late 1960s, can be said to be the best duet in the history of pop music. Simon's voice is relaxed and natural, Garfunkel's tone is soft and noble, and their harmonies are poetic and dreamlike. Colorful and memorable.

"The Sound of Silence", like "Scarborough Fair", is an episode of the movie "The Graduate", one at the beginning and the other at the end. The former single of the same name in 1966 won the number one spot in the US charts; the latter song won the Academy Award for Best Movie Interlude in 1969. The styles of the two songs are similar, both of which are classic nostalgic feelings. Its melody goes straight to the bottom of my heart, quietly, spotlessly, and gently brushing past my ears. It is easy to think of the dawn after snow and the breeze in the wilderness. . .
