This song really lends itself to your composing style Kelly. And while the song is so emotionally powerful, you have really given it a modern twist, as the lyrics are there- crying through your hands. Easily one of your best.
Cool fact about the line "hello darkness my old friend" is actually referring to when Simon would sit and practice in his bathroom with the lights off, to really get the acoustics of his guitar. It was his place to meditate, and it's actually a really positive line.
man I normally don't comment on people's videos but this is simply beautiful. I fell in love with the Simon and Garfunkel version only to turn around and fall in love with the Disturbed version. sweet sounding guitar and awesome playing. clean...just clean.
I adore your videos so much. I bought three of your songs and I try to play them but... everytime I listen to your videos, you have so much more dedication to what you play... I really love it. And your percussion technique kills me. 😅
Music from the heart is Timeless. It's no part of any particular era or culture. It transcends both the external influences and the individual's barrirers of what is good and what's not. It strikes straight to the heart.
Holy shit, saw your you tube commercial for this song.....instantly hooked and a huge fan, you are phenomenal and I can't wait to start learning from you.
man you are the best person using a guitar I ever seen.. I believe in you that you can play any music track with your guitar 😍 keep it going . best wishes for you.
THIS IS A TUNE I DISCOVERED ONLY WHEN I GOT TO THE USA, BECAUSE, BEFORE, I DIDN'T KNOW SIMON AND GARFUNKEL. THIS MELODY HAS ALWAYS STAYED FRESH, IN MY MIND. IT'S ALWAYS A TREAT TO HEAR IT. TO ME, IT'S ONE OF THE TRUE GEMS OF AMERICAN CULTURE.
FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SING ALONG 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”
What do you mean by "a lot of people"? Everyone I know personally who knows the disturbed cover also knows the Simon and Garfunkel classic. It's a given. Even youtube comments under Disturb's music video seem to acknowledge Simon and Garfunkel. What's your experience with this?

This classic line was a tribute to his blind great friend Sandy Greenford.
Your guitar almost sings the actual words. One of my favorites of all time. Thank you!!!

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 adore your videos so much. I bought three of your songs and I try to play them but... everytime I listen to your videos, you have so much more dedication to what you play... I really love it. And your percussion technique kills me. 😅
That song really hits me so deeply in my heart because I see it as a really nostalgic song that reminds me of loved ones who are away.
We're sat in our garden in the late afternoon sun in lockdown and I found this ,really chilled us out THANK YOU

FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SING ALONG
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”
that was inspiring. thank you
thank you for sharing your music and your talent! So generous!
good job , greetings from Argentina :)
Thanks for mentioning Simon and Garfunkel in the title. A lot of people think disturbed made that song.
What do you mean by "a lot of people"? Everyone I know personally who knows the disturbed cover also knows the Simon and Garfunkel classic. It's a given.
Even youtube comments under Disturb's music video seem to acknowledge Simon and Garfunkel. What's your experience with this?

SOUND OF SILENCE......SIMON & GARFUNKEL (Disturbed)
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again

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

When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light

^People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
