Simon & Garfunkel - Sound Of Silence (1965)


Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (from The Concert in Central Park)


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 streetlamp
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 dare
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”

Mozart - Queen of the Night (Diana Damrau)

Mozart - Queen of the Night (Diana Damrau) English Translation: The wrath of hell burneth in my bosom Death and despair, Death and despair inflame my soul! If you do not make Sarastro suffer If you do not make Sarastro suffer, Then you shall be my daughter nevermore! Then you shall be my daughter nevermore! You will be disowned forever, Repudiated forever, Cursed be forever, All the bonds of nature will break Disowned, repudiated, cursed, you will be forever! All the bonds of nature will break, If Sarastro does not meet his end through you, Hear! Hear! Hear, gods of revenge! Hear a mother's oath!
