We absolutely love this song! The melody, harmonies, and lyrics are so infectious. When Disturbed covered it a few years ago, they reimagined Simon and Garfunkel's song into something haunting, yet still beautiful. We took cues from both versions when arranging this one and had so much fun working on it. We hope you enjoy - it's one of our favourites!

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
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
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

Brooklyn Duo Bio:
Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 500,000 UA-cam subscribers, and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.
On a whim, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on UA-cam. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover of her song Empire and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys." The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on UA-cam encouraged the couple to continue creating videos.
Since then, Marnie and Patrick have released over 70 videos on their Brooklyn Duo UA-cam channel and 7 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Taylor Swift (who also tweeted about them, saying their cover of her song “Blank Space” sounded "like a song people should walk down the aisle to"). In 2016, the couple started a second UA-cam channel, Brooklyn Classical, with the goal of introducing classical music to a larger audience. With this new channel, Marnie and Patrick aim to showcase high quality, live performances of classical music. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets and percussionist Ivan Trevino.
In 2017, Marnie and Patrick partnered with Carnegie Hall and Ensemble Connect, a collective of some of the best young musicians in the U.S., to produce a cover of a-ha’s “Take On Me”. The video went viral and garnered millions of views in just a few months. Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” One of their covers was also recently featured in an episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.

We absolutely love this song! The melody, harmonies, and lyrics are so infectious, thanks to Simon & Garfunkel. And when Disturbed covered it a few years ago, they reimagined it into something so haunting yet still beautiful. We took cues from both versions when arranging this one, and we had so much fun working on it. We hope you enjoy - it's one of our favourites!
Brooklyn Duo I love this song!!!

Brooklyn Duo it came out so lovely we love this song so much thank you for your rendition of such a beautiful song. ♡
Hey Brooklyn Duo, I have a request, can you have a farewell song of Avicii, tnx
Brooklyn Duo Muito lindo, parabéns 👏👏😆
This was played during my brothers funeral. He was left lifeless after a small 30 min procedure, he battled cancer for 5 years… he beat cancer. He was in remission and had to take out a catheter they had in place in his head for the chemo treatment. He never made out. We had to say goodbye and this song you had remastered it it was one of his favorite bands. So we decided to play this during his funeral. It was HIM. Miss you my big brother! Never ever will it get any easy.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I lost my older sister to heart failure. She was only 31.
@@lissalives1 I’m so sorry! I pray you guys are healing ❤
What a heart breaking story. Ur brother is next to Jesus in Heaven, enjoying a rainbow.
Ur brother is a champ, kicked Cancer's ass!!!
I'm very sorry for your loss.

It's 1 a.m. in the morning, I'm in a dark room listening to this beautiful rendition of one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever made. It's raining quite hard outside and the lightning and thunder is setting the perfect atmosphere for this. Such a perfect moment. Thank you for this breathtaking cover ❤
wow....I can imagine how beautiful that would be.
Same here♡
Thank you for sharing your experience. That’s a good visual. 🙏🏽❤️
woaho!
How nicely put !!
My grandfather is on hospice and I have been put in charge of music for his funeral. I've been listening to a bunch of a sound of silence songs as he was in law enforcement, and each one brought up too much emotion. I wanted one that we could all handle yet be touching for him. This is perfect. It's beautiful and without the words it's not as heartbreaking. Thank you so much for doing this and thank you so much for putting it on itunes so I can get it.
I’m sorry to hear about your dear Grand father. May the Lord bless and keep him and your family.
when I Listen to the your playing , I feel myself in sound of silence, Thanks greeting from TOYAMA city In JAPAN

People talking without speaking..
People hearing without listening..
Simon and Garfunkel are legends.
And so are you guys..😊
Hotel? Trivago
I so love Simon & Garfunkel & this 🎶song 🎵is a classic! You do such an extraordinary job on this song. Touches my heart!❤️
The sound of that cello resonates deep within your soul.
Another example of why the cello is my favourite instrument. Apart from being the instrument which closely mimics a human voice, the huge pitch range. He played on three octaves. Loved the low register
I wish you were my neighbours!
right?! I'd be like "hey, if you don't mind, would you text me when you're about to play so I can sit by the wall?" 😂
..because you've never heard them practice ;)
@@Punkwart Can't speak of anyone else, but I'd like to hear them practice and make progress too! Yes, imperfect WIPs are never as sexy as matured versions, however I think I'd better be more understanding. Especially since I play the piano myself.
live next to me. i make music in my toilet bowl every morning. its beautiful i tell you!
Jesse Rivera ahaha. Cool!
My son had a bad day, he felt down, the whole day was pretty crappy. He just could not get outside, it was pouring down, he did not want to take a badly needed nap, and yeah. it was just one of those days where, as a parent, you are at your wit's end. Then I made him sit down on my lap and showed him this. And when the Cello started playing he smiled. and he kept smiling throughout the whole song and fell asleep in my arms. Finally. After his nap, he was pretty happy and relaxed. Thank you for making him smile and never ever stop playing!
This is absolutely breathtaking, I am listening 3AM of this rendition and it brings tears to my eyes. It just brought out all the inner emotions of almost a year of isolation due to the pandemic. The feelings of love, sadness, and uncertainty in our lives. Yet as I continue to listen, I find comfort in knowing that everything will be alright. You have no idea the gift that you have, thank you for sharing!
I've always loved this song but this version...oh, Lord. It's the kind of music that has you instinctively closing your eyes and pressing the headphones closer to your ears, butterflies in the stomach, goosebumps on your skin, uncontrollable intakes of breath and eyebrow raises every few seconds....yeah, I basically looked like I was having an epileptic seizure in slow motion but THANK YOU for this. It's absolutely beautiful. Much love from a fan in Palau!
Repent...
It’s almost as if the piano and cello are singing the words. How absolutely beautiful!
I've never liked something so quickly... The bass hits you right in the soul!
Time passes and this song remains current.
A classic is a classic.
Congratulations on the flawless presentation.
You made these instruments SING. Truly a delight a listen to over and over. 💜💜
My god, I closed my eyes instantly to the deep depths of the cello - this was absolutely beautiful and pure. In the silence, this music is so peaceful and powerful 💚
I could close my eyes and let my spirit float into heaven!
To those who say you can't dance to this song...tell that to the goosebumps doing the cha cha slide up and down my arms.
😂😂😂😂Love your comment! ...Too funny & so clever!
🤣
I love how emotional you two gets when you play, really makes the video worth watching.
If this isn't played at my funeral I'm not dying!
Our whole family loves your work. I listen to this in the morning, during work hours, and with the family making dinner. Incredibly beautiful music. Admire you guys every day keep up the beautiful work. Bless you! Many thanks for bringing a calm and peace into our lives through music. You are both so talented!
It fills the yawning emptiness of my heart.. thank You..
This song is so Mesmerizing,... I Loved it, to the last second.
Lovely people = amazing music talent
The mastery of instruments and balance is so stellar. You both rock! I have been a classical aficionado for my 62 years here and the presence, integrity and feeling of this piece is staggering.
Goosebumps all over my body
My wife and I just watched this and were both stunned by how amazing it was. Absolutely beautiful. Perfect
Guys. You have no idea about how I felt hearing this perfection!!!
No words to explain. No things to show. I just can be grateful for your lifes and amazing work!!!
Beautiful job. Awesome music, Nice Place. You both have the feeling which make other people feel when you're playing.
Peace, Love. Gratful.
I love you so much. Thank you God for them
If this doesn't stop you in your tracks and bring you to pause, even tears, then you have NO SOUL or HEART. I personally NEVER cry at anything, seen death everywhere, being a combat Marine of 5 tours, and Desert Storm as well, and I'm just that hardened. Didn't even cry at my parents funeral. But tonight, I've actually wept in tears listening to this beautiful composition by those two wonderful human beings. So if you did this to me, what you must do to the normal human being. Many blessings to you both, and THANK YOU for this beautiful sound. If you are EVER in Las Vegas, dinner is on my family.
Oh Lord... The most beautiful, ageless song in history played by my favorit duo! This touches my heart. I know that I will hear this on and on again. Thank you so much!!! I wish you all the best, you lovely musicians.
What a phenomenal couple. They live music, they fit together very well. He looks at her passionately.
Goose bumps. This was one of those stellar performances that took me to another place. Thank you.
Vocês tocam muito bem! Parabéns. Toco violoncelo e espero um dia ficar boa igual a vocês ❤️🇧🇷
vitoria tani olha só ..eu toco piano kkkk .. mas são muito bons 👏👏
Toco Viola da familia dos arcos
I've never heard this type of music. Now all day long it's all I listen to. Amazing....its like love in my ears....I love love live it....
👏🥰
The soothing melody sings and melds together as the instruments of the Brooklyn Duo play their tune of joy.
Wow. I closed my eyes and listened and got goosebumps every time the cello played the low notes.. so beautiful. Love the arrangement!
Very nice. Reminds me of the Paris subway many moons ago there was a guy with an upright Bass playing this. It always stuck in my head and that memory is how I ended up viewing this video.
Beautiful.....silently and softly. Amazing guys. Perfect after listening to Disturbed's version
My favorite song by Simon & Garfunkel! They do an extraordinary job on this 🎶 song! Touches my heart & soul!!!! Exquisite!❤️🤪❤️💜
I absolutely love the way this piece ended. The transition to the lower octave was gorgeous and unexpected. Another beautiful arrangement.
What a beautiful haunting instrument the cello is .
I love this. I love this so much. It’s 85 degrees and humid yet I have chills! The fleeting trail of the piano and the emotional wailing of the cello combine to just make this epic.
Che bello vedere la grande passione che ci mettete, li fate parlare tutti e due gli strumenti 😍😍 waoooo
This haunting melody has been done by so many great (and some not so great) artist but it's surely one of those tunes that will last through many lifetimes and generations. Thank you for providing us with your beautiful and touching rendition.
I love her smile at him at the end... she's like "ah yea... we just did that." - Hauntingly beautiful. Thank you.
Com certeza sem sombra de dúvida umas das melhores canções que eu escutei até hoje essa canção me faz lembrar de uma pessoa muito mais muito especial na minha vida amo de mais essa canção. Parabéns por essa maravilhosa e magnífica canção.
you can totally see the eye contacts from the male to the female at the exact tune of the music when the tunes express love and companion that reflects the compassion and love towards the female. That's true love indeed!
This is the best way to spend my quarantine. Thank you.
Brilliant!!! If you listen to the Disturbed version....you are the musical version. Love It!!!!!!
It is one thing the listen to an original track and really feel it and get goose bumps. But to hear a remake between two talented people and get that same feeling. That is something very special. You guys rock thank you.
So beautiful you can feel their love of music and what it means
The range on this song is phenomenal. Thank you so much for this.
Part of my appreciation for these two great musicians is the mutual respect that is apparent with both of them. Watching him look upon his lady, he looks so proud of her..in awe of her talent, when he is such an amazing,talented musician himself. Love your videos Patrick and Marnie.
Que lindo de se escutar , eu fecho os olhos e viajo em pensamentos ,essa música me faz sentir esperança , liberdade ,alegria ao mesmo tempo que é dramática e emocionante . Simplesmente linda !!!
Fantastic.... it takes my breath away, to where no one cares
Wonderful song played by amazing musicians...
every song in piano and Cello is beatifull
So good, I have to learn this.
The last few low notes always give me goose bumps.
This song sounds epic in every way possible to play it! Any instrument! Any accent! Any setup! Any Ambience!
What kind of sorcery is this!!!
I am speaking from the heart here. Everything I've seen/ heard you do has a depth of beauty and sincerity I have never witnessed before - just beautiful.
I can feel the feeling in any touch of the piano's keys, exquisitely. beautiful...
Wow! I don't normally comment on youtube, but that was absolutely amazingly stunning. Thank you both for sharing it with us!
This couple makes magic---so very beautiful...................
Magnificent. Brought me to tears.
Many strong and deep emotions in this short clip!

I love this song
Absolutely incredibled! It brought tears to my eyes almost instantly. It touch my heart and soul and sent my spirit soaring❤😅😊
Marnie has the best hand poster of any Pianist that I have ever seen
An anthem from my younger days and probably will remain so. Love your arrangement and playing. It's almost like the voice harmony, weaving in and out of a beautiful fabric. Thanks.
You two transform music into exquisite beauty. Thank you. Bless you.
This is so... deeply beautiful
Woke up wondering if anyone had done an instrumental of Sound of Silence with cello. Was not disappointed.
There is no words to describe the unique sounds, the best cover of the song.
Great job!
I never experienced the sound of silence with such an enormous intensity!!!!! What an immense power!!! Hauntingly beautiful performance by both artists!
Words can't even describe how good this is! I absolutely love the low notes in the beginning, and the last 3 low notes on cello at the end send shivers down my spine. I love the S&G version as well as the disturbed version, but I think this version is my favorite, such a wonderful rendition!
두분연주 너무 아름다우십니다 감사드립니다 건강하십시오
Amazing beautiful couple. Love when I can listen to them!!
Maybe evolution is how you can still hear the words without them being sung. very beautiful!
Just discovered This amazing duo! Great performances, with great musical feeling.
The music you guys create is just heavenly! Gives me peace, especially on my hard days. Thank you and God bless.
Uau... Simplesmente divino! Isso sim é música!
No words to say how beautiful. With the passion you put into your music made it come more alive. WOW!!
Brilliantly done. Keeping the chello in the lower register and allowing the keys to fill in. Stunning cover of a well regarded master piece
Chello?
It is clearly a typo. Cello.*
Fantastic.........The chello sings the song for you .........Thank you so much..
Absolutely beautiful! So many emotions! Greetings from Athens, Greece.
