Happy Sunday morning, all! I hope you enjoy our cover of this Simon and Garfunkel classic, The Sound of Silence. And thanks again to our friends at Kyser Capos for sending us those beautiful rosewood capos to use on this song! The one I'm using in the video is actually specially designed for classical guitar, so it's a little wider to cover the larger neck, which is awesome.

Art's roommate in college had a nickname "Darkness" because he was legally blind and the words to this song shows Art's interpretation of the world around him. Great job ladies! (missed you too!)
When I was in elementary school, I think it was grade 4 or 5, our teacher made us learn this song. It was many years before I understood it, but my point is that it's been with me for the past 53 years. In that time there have been a handful of covers that I found worthy of the original. Yours is one of them.
And I just got the cinco de mayo kyser capo and it really works great. It was 25% off at the kyser store, and with the extra 10% a no brainer. Thank you!
I have watched you every Sunday for years with my coffee in hand. But today I would especially like to thank you for a wonderful 66th birthday present. This performance. 👍👍👀🎸🙏
I'm 73 and this so reminds of my youth when life seemed so carefree as I remember it now but I guess it wasn't.I'm pretty sure it was in the backing of one of my favourite movies then too-The Graduate ,when I fell in love with Katherine Ross. Simon and Garfunkel would be so happy with your beautiful performance ladies.
I, too, am a long time listener but never comment. This, however, was stunning. I can’t count how many times I’ve listened to this song in my lifetime, but I can’t remember one that moved me as much as listening to you talented young women. I must have clicked “replay” a half a dozen times.
Wow! Beautiful harmony. Toni's muted guitar - just on the edge of silence at just the right times is amazing. Their covers are always more enjoyable than the originals in my mind.
I love the covers too. When the young ones do the old songs so themselves but so respectful and so appreciative of the originals, it's almost like we actually do have a culture.
When I was in graduate school, I played a cassette tape of Simon and Garfunkel singing this song until it was little more than shreds. Your rendition is, if anything, even tighter than the original. A masterful tribute to an iconic song. Thank you so much!
I think it's becoming a common occurrence for me to say, "I think this is my favorite thing y'all have done." This is one of my all-time favorites and you 2 did not disappoint at all. I'm going to put this easily in my top 5 covers of this song with ease. That was awesome!!! Thank you!
Hearing this song as a kid in the 60s a million times I never even noticed it. Now as an old guy I am getting quite emotional listening to you all put your heart and soul into this song. Thankyou
An iconic,haunting and timeless tune in its original form but this rendition....well..it was truly breathtaking. I'm not surprised though. These particular musicians are exemplary and have never,in my recollection,played a bad cover. As usual,they knocked this song out of the park. Well done girls👏👏👏👏👏👏
You take me back to my 5 year old self, watching my father in his easy chair, pointing out to me the hauntingly beautiful harmonic vocal runs (yes he was a music nerd). I enjoy the other covers of this song, but you two capturing the tight vocals that made S&G so amazing for their time is a treat. ❤ I listen most Sundays but don’t always comment. I just had to today. Thank you.
A dystopian nightmare, reminiscent of the last verse of American Pie. “In the streets, the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed, but not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken”. You do Paul Simon so well.
Wow. I never noticed how much that last line resonates with this song-almost as if they are both referencing the same moment in time. Thanks for this comment!
"church bells"?? I thought it was "battle droids"! Hey, it's Sunday morning and my resistance is way down. I tried, I tried. And I'm of that much older generation, too.
You two amazing talented young women just put the biggest smile on this old Viet Nam Vets face and in my heart.....thank you so much---never stop!!😇🥰😎🙏
You two girls gave this classic song, and especially its lyrics, all the respect it deserves. Many thanks for always showing the lyrics on your videos. Extra care much appreciated. Love you two.
Such a great interpretation of a classic with some nice subtle additions. It’s mind boggling that Paul Simon wrote these lyrics at only 21 years of age. One of the greatest song writers of all time.
I am a happily married old great grandpa so in the context understand I love you girls and hope you keep making beautiful music together and keep classic and classy pieces like this tune alive. Love your arrangement and harmonies and finger picking. This song has difficult phrasing but you nailed it. Excellent cover.
Reina's voice is unique. Her voice is neither thin nor very husky, but it's very comfortable and soft. Her singing style is also light and warm. I want to listen to it no matter how much I listen to it. Tony's guitar and harmony are also great. It's a fantastic combination
Happy Sunday morning❤ I thoroughly enjoyed your cover of this S&G tune. I listen to it 3 times to take in all the intricacies of the guitar and harmonies...so good. Birds liked it too.
Thank you so much for this fine rendition of a classic song. You did it full justice. Few things sound as nice as two part harmonies done by musicians that understand each other blind. You two have definitly reached this stage. Couldn't take my eyes off Toni's right hand.
Just discovered Riena and Toni. I first heard this on Simon and Garfunkel's album in 1964 and was amazed at the lyrics a 21 year old wrote. I might add those same lyrics are even more profound today in our World some 59 years later. Your take on the song is much like theirs. Sounding sweetly harmonic underlying the disturbing message in a world gone mad. Beautiful!
Oof, everytime I think "Nah, this song is so worn out, I don't really want to hear another cover" you blow me away anyway, with a version I from now on like best. You two are incredible!
When I was about 13 years old they took a group of about 50 of us boys out of classes for a couple of days and we formed a choir. We sang this and I am a Rock over and over again. To this day I’ve no idea why this happened, but it was the highlight of my five years in school.
Once in a while a musician finds a song that their voice is designed for. This is one of those for Reina. Goodness me that was wonderful. "And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls"... that bit gave me full-on goosebumps! Thank you.
just spent my day off listening to you and your friends, cool music. cool songs and cool musicians/singers. my favourite would have to be 'This one's gonna hurt' followed closely by your short vid, not sure what it's called but started with 'Hello are you scrolling alone in your room'. great day off after all, thankyou and hope you are keeping well.
My mother used this song to teach sixth grade kids how poetry actually is music... And after she passed so many of her students came up to me and said how grateful they were for her lesson..
I'm completely bewitched by the agility of Toni's right hand. What's more, she takes the liberty of singing and thus creating harmonies. This is one of the most accomplished videos on this channel. Along with "What a wonderful". Obviously, my tastes are my own. C'est fantastique. :)
@@johntomlinson-j6x I think she's made a guitar tablature. Yep! But when her hand strums the strings, with her fingertips, or fingernails, and comes back nimbly in arpeggio. I've rarely seen that technique. In fact, the real question is: what instrument doesn't Toni know how to play? I'm sure she can play the drums. But maybe not the harp, because it's a complicated and rare instrument? Haha! We are lucky!
You guys are extremely talented 👏 🙌 and do such a wonderful job with one of the most important and greatest songs ever written Thanks for your style and ability ❤🎉
Great job! Not an easy song to do. The "lower" harmony is one of the toughest things I ever practiced. Toni nails it. And, of course, Reinas' voice rings. Thank you and happy Sunday.

Art's roommate in college had a nickname "Darkness" because he was legally blind and the words to this song shows Art's interpretation of the world around him. Great job ladies! (missed you too!)
Benavides John: Hi Reina and Toni with an I. Loved your performance this week!!
This is perfect. The harmonies are spot on. It's a song that really suits both of your voices and I love it. Thank you.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written in the last 100 years.
Paul Simon rocks
Beautiful!! Your harmonies are amazing.
Without a doubt. And the way these two play and sing it is something other worldly.
Agreed. No question.
Yes it is
When I was in elementary school, I think it was grade 4 or 5, our teacher made us learn this song. It was many years before I understood it, but my point is that it's been with me for the past 53 years. In that time there have been a handful of covers that I found worthy of the original. Yours is one of them.
Very nicely done ladies . I'm a 76 year old man with good memories from the era . Thanks !
68!❤😂🎉
The connection between Reina and Toni sends chills through me.
It's a connection only lesbians can have.
I'm 70 years old and remember this song like yesterday. You have filled my cup till it runneth over. I am joy filled!! thank you both.
Toni harmonizes with Reina! Is there anything Toni can’t do! I could listen to them all day!
No.
There is NOTHING Toni can't do.
A stone cold pro.
And I just got the cinco de mayo kyser capo and it really works great. It was 25% off at the kyser store, and with the extra 10% a no brainer. Thank you!
❤😢
Fully agree, they are out of this world.
@@dealzrightToni is doing all the clever stuff. Reina is just playing C, G, and D chords.
I have watched you every Sunday for years with my coffee in hand. But today I would especially like to thank you for a wonderful 66th birthday present. This performance. 👍👍👀🎸🙏
Happy birthday, Dave! 🎉
I’ve been playing : singing this song for twenty years but have never even come close to this video! Y’all made my day!!! Ottawa, Canada
Thousands people were waiting for this by you silently: the day came - and the rendition has been even greater than expected.
I am in the 70's .. by watching you two young ladies bringing my youth back 50 years , great job!
Brillant as usual ❤
Diese Interpretation braucht sich vor dem Original nicht zu verstecken, sie hat eine ganz eigene Schönheit und Stärke! Absolutely marvelous!
Und endlich mal Mädels auf UA-cam, die musikalisch überzeugen, statt sich halb auszuziehen...
Ich liebe dieses Lied. Es ist selten interpretiert bei Mädchen.
The dynamic duo do it again. Brilliant 🎶🎸🎶😀
Speechless... Dicovered these girls yesterday and now I can't seem to stop watching and listening!
Much love!
I'm 73 and this so reminds of my youth when life seemed so carefree as I remember it now but I guess it wasn't.I'm pretty sure it was in the backing of one of my favourite movies then too-The Graduate ,when I fell in love with Katherine Ross.
Simon and Garfunkel would be so happy with your beautiful performance ladies.
Im 73 also, It reminds me of my youth, not so carefree. I was slouging around rice paddies and the jungle with my rifle, trying to stay in one piece!
I, too, am a long time listener but never comment. This, however, was stunning. I can’t count how many times I’ve listened to this song in my lifetime, but I can’t remember one that moved me as much as listening to you talented young women. I must have clicked “replay” a half a dozen times.

I love the covers too. When the young ones do the old songs so themselves but so respectful and so appreciative of the originals, it's almost like we actually do have a culture.
Yes I never liked the original. Reina and Toni sound way better!
@@robertvanruyssevelt7159 I love the original. But I agree with your second sentence :)
Thank you Reina and Toni, beautiful music on one of my favourite tunes.
When I was in graduate school, I played a cassette tape of Simon and Garfunkel singing this song until it was little more than shreds. Your rendition is, if anything, even tighter than the original. A masterful tribute to an iconic song. Thank you so much!
How beautiful, c est tellement joli et agréable de vous écoutez, thank you 😊
I am totally flabbergasted. Incredible. Pure joy and pleasure. So many thanks. And I am sure the birds do love you and your music as well.
Man but really you had to use the word flabbergasted
Maybe you try to watch also the version of the voice teen's duet in the voice PH. Queenie vs Patricia the sound of silence.
Very moving and soul stirring. I’m grateful that I found your channel, and the other musicians you have performed with on UA-cam.
I think it's becoming a common occurrence for me to say, "I think this is my favorite thing y'all have done." This is one of my all-time favorites and you 2 did not disappoint at all. I'm going to put this easily in my top 5 covers of this song with ease. That was awesome!!! Thank you!
As a man who grew up listening to the original, I can say this comes very close to it… Great job ladies…
I have never heard so much beauty in one place. A harmonious blend of melodic voices.
Hearing this song as a kid in the 60s a million times I never even noticed it. Now as an old guy I am getting quite emotional listening to you all put your heart and soul into this song. Thankyou
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, Reina and Toni! This classic deserves a place in your concert performances. 👍👍
Terrific cover. Reina’s voice never sounded better. Great second voice and playing by Toni!
Broke the sound of bedtime silence to visit my two fav ladies for their beautiful version of a Simon/Garfuncle classic.
@captain
Garfunkel
😂
An iconic,haunting and timeless tune in its original form but this rendition....well..it was truly breathtaking. I'm not surprised though. These particular musicians are exemplary and have never,in my recollection,played a bad cover. As usual,they knocked this song out of the park. Well done girls👏👏👏👏👏👏
Finally, my favourite song and, as always, an amazing performance that does the song justice - thank you and have a great Sunday!

I just had to today. Thank you.
....but now deservingly this easy chair!
.....but the rocking stopped by wheels of dispair!
I remember when this song was released by Simon and Garfunkel. You ladies just gave me chills with your rendition.❤
A worthy cover of a beautiful song. Thanks for playing it for us.
相変わらず素晴らしいカバー。初めて英語の歌詞を憶えた歌で懐かしい。何かよく分からないが、知的な雰囲気に惹かれた。cobblestone、cancer、 prophets とかはこの歌で知った単語。
Outstanding! Especially the vocals. A very nice treat for a Sunday morning. Thank you.
So good to hear young folks playing the music of my youth, and performing well, without the need for all the flash.
What a Sound of Silence! Beautiful! 🥰
One of the BEST renditions of this song I've ever heard. Ya'll are truly amazing!!
A dystopian nightmare, reminiscent of the last verse of American Pie. “In the streets, the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed, but not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken”.
You do Paul Simon so well.
Wow. I never noticed how much that last line resonates with this song-almost as if they are both referencing the same moment in time. Thanks for this comment!
"church bells"?? I thought it was "battle droids"!
Hey, it's Sunday morning and my resistance is way down. I tried, I tried. And I'm of that much older generation, too.
@@blindleader42 I think that's from 'The Sounds of Star Wars'. . .
@@TheRamsberg No, no. It's from Imperial Pie, or maybe Phantom PIe. I'm sure of it's one of those.
@@blindleader42 I was joking about "church bells" being "battle droids", and the latter of which being in the 'Star Wars' movies.
Oh wow! This is probably the best I have heard this song sung ever. You two ladies are amazing!
Beautiful music by beautiful ladies on a beautiful morning here in Kentucky! Can’t ask for much more than that. Thank you!
You two amazing talented young women just put the biggest smile on this old Viet Nam Vets face and in my heart.....thank you so much---never stop!!😇🥰😎🙏
You two girls gave this classic song, and especially its lyrics, all the respect it deserves. Many thanks for always showing the lyrics on your videos. Extra care much appreciated. Love you two.
What an happy Sunday morning ! I love when you cover a classic. Great performance.
A record truly worthy of praise. It does not fall only on deaf ears. Thanks, as always, for sharing.
This song is a masterpiece and you two honor that with this powerful, moving cover. Absolutely beautiful vocals and guitars.
Your harmonies are SO DAMN GOOD! awesome work!
Such a great interpretation of a classic with some nice subtle additions. It’s mind boggling that Paul Simon wrote these lyrics at only 21 years of age. One of the greatest song writers of all time.
Incredible! Toni’s guitar … exquisite! And your harmonies are so perfect. Best cover of this song I’ve ever heard.
A fantastic song, beautifully sung and played in full harmony. This melody can never be forgotten and stays in the ears forever.
Wow! Fantastic arrangement! Beautiful harmonies! Guitar licks that are perfect! What a way to start Sunday!
I am a happily married old great grandpa so in the context understand I love you girls and hope you keep making beautiful music together and keep classic and classy pieces like this tune alive.

A wonderful rendition of a passionate and heart felt song by one of the best song writer/artists in history. Well done ladies! 👍
Precious cover. Love the playing, singing, the whole thing.
Nothing against Disturbed, but harmonizing like Paul and Art just took me back to listening to this 50 years ago. The voices of angels....
Nothing against these women, either, but Disturbed’s cover was professional beyond the pale.
Excellence is excellence.
Literally said “wow” out loud after the second word. Vocals are perfect on this.
That was pristine, totally mesmerizing. You didn't only do justice to a great song, you owned it and had me nearly in tears.
A classic version of a classic, thank you
I enjoyed your sound of silence .. Cheers !

Perfect song for your combined vocal and guitar skills and chemistry. One of the nicer covers you’ve ever done.
This was perfect. Anything more wouldn't have been as good. Anything less wouldn't have been as good. Love it.
Goosebumps! So good!

Magnifica versión. Enhorabuena a las dos. Saludos desde España, la patria del Cid.
Interprétation formidable très juste et en tout respect pour Simon and Garfunkul
와우 참 좋아하는 노래 The sound of silence,
정말로 멋진 노래, 진심으로 잘 감상하고 갑니다.^^
Excellent! Thanks.
Wonderful version!
Toni-As usual you really know how to support the song! Not easy.
Reina-Great vocal! You are beautiful this morning!
This is probably the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. Absolutely beautiful!💕
Did you hear (like millions and millions before you 🙂 ) Disturbed doing this on "Conan" in 2016?
It's quite disturbing how good.....
Disturbed. Nuff said
Overproduced and easily digestible garbage for the masses. Disturbeds cover is the McDonalds hamburger of covers@@jimgordon3468
Bravo les filles, respect pour vôtre immense talent . Du
Sud-ouest de la France. ❤

I am speechless, such a beautiful version. You are on top of the mountain, in my eyes.
Super gespielt und gesungen. Schöne Grüße aus Österreich (Austria) aus dem Land der Burgen (Burgenland)
Just love this rendition, most notably the harmony. 😍
Amazing arrangement! It sounded so much like the original but noticeably and pleasantly different at the same time.
So good！Thanks！！👍👍👍👍👍👍
Brilliant as always
Well composed! Very elegant! Nice! Well done!
Very beautiful performance in a relaxed atmosphere.
You ladies are so easy to listen to, thank you for sharing.
Coffee cheers to you both!☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Wow - just pure musical class. Paul Simon is a genius and I’m sure he would appreciate this version very much.
I like Simon and Garfunkel💗
Beautiful
Stunning harmony, ladies👍
I'm completely bewitched by the agility of Toni's right hand. What's more, she takes the liberty of singing and thus creating harmonies. This is one of the most accomplished videos on this channel. Along with "What a wonderful". Obviously, my tastes are my own. C'est fantastique. :)
This is the first time I've seen Toni Finger pick a song. Amazing !
@@johntomlinson-j6x I think she's made a guitar tablature. Yep! But when her hand strums the strings, with her fingertips, or fingernails, and comes back nimbly in arpeggio. I've rarely seen that technique. In fact, the real question is: what instrument doesn't Toni know how to play? I'm sure she can play the drums. But maybe not the harp, because it's a complicated and rare instrument? Haha! We are lucky!
Another class video ladies.
You guys are extremely talented 👏 🙌 and do such a wonderful job with one of the most important and greatest songs ever written
Thanks for your style and ability
❤🎉
Great job! Not an easy song to do. The "lower" harmony is one of the toughest things I ever practiced. Toni nails it. And, of course, Reinas' voice rings. Thank you and happy Sunday.
I feel the same about the lower harmonies. But if you do it well, the lead voice shines brightly. Reina and Toni nailed it! 😊
Preciosa versión. Gracias desde España 🤗
I have experienced all of you and Toni'S videos and this in my opinion was the best ever !
I love this
