    So many words and emotions, lol.
    My first thought was why is Leslie wearing polka dot Hammer pants followed by "when you sound as good as he does, you can wear whatever you want".
    Secondly, as a former vocalist, Ben's posture throughout the whole thing was the opposite of how vocalists are taught to stand. Again, when you sound like him, who cares about your posture? (Aside from me, for about 2 seconds, lol).
    Lastly... Two huge Broadway stars and possibly two of the best male vocalists of our time, doing their take on a classic.. How does this not have more views? How does it not have more likes? How does it not have more comments?.. I truly don't understand the world and am going to share with everyone i know.

    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 shared
    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
    Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
    In tenement halls"
    And whispered in the sound of silence

    I think this song is from late 60's or 70's. All I know I liked this song and used to hear it a lot on the radio. Leslie Odom and Ben did a great job.😂

    Did Leslie say “people listening without listening” at 2:24 🤨 otherwise this is literal perfection and I can’t get enough of those harmonies 👌🏼 thanks for uploading!
