Can't believe the haters????? I grew up listening to This song in the early 70's and loved it! This young man is doing his own take on the song and he did an amazing job!!! So much emotion pouring out of him, my God, it gave me goosebumps just listening to him sing!
I love the original version very much, but I love Passengers version even more. It's so clear that this is one of passengers favorit songs as he sats. So many feelings coming out of him in his cover.
Gob smacking cover , I am 57 years old and have everything they have put out since 1963 , best cover I have heard, this guy has talent and is on my listen list alongside an Aussie called Xavier Rudd
Whenever I listen to this I am immediately thrown by his version of this lyrics after just telling the crowd to sing along. But then I can't stop listening.
This song is so awesome that any different version of it sounds beautiful. Passenger's voice is a bit different and that's what I like about this guy...gives me goosebumps everytime.
I love to hear other people's interpretation of this song. It is an iconic song. It was meant to be shared in so many ways. Thank you for another version.
This is one of the best emotional covers of this song I ever heard...maybe even more on another version here on UA-cam when he was still playing in the streets...
He silenced thousands of people in a live consert n done his thing n made thousands of people av atleast one special memory as he sang it . The most famous natural busker in the world . .
The finest poem in popular music!!! Set to the finest tune in popular music!!! The BEST song of the lot!!! Passenger misses out a verse, but this is a very fine version of the poet Paul Simon's great, great song!!!
Simon & Garfunkle original.... oh so love this song. You did a great rendition🎵🎙🎸 thank you for covering such a deep meaningful song.... your voice is amazing and let's not even start on the incrediable gift of playing your guitar... wow thank you for playing this song and for my soul hearing you sing it.... bravo
Passenger sings the sound of silence and make the song so fantastic🙏🙏🙏we thank you so much for this cover that you brought back too life again WoW!!🔊🔊🔊
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 No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my…
i always thought that when Simon sang this song solo it never had the same feeling, always missed Art. Mike takes the song in his own and really makes it work.
Here's lyrics for those who might be interested :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 silenceIn 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 silenceFools, said I, you do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Touch my hands that I might reach you But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silenceAnd 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 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 But can't you see that we're l'ontAnd thank you so, so muchFort silence
Fantastic! From beginning to end brilliantly performed with of course a God-given voice and a beautiful arrangement! Taste is not discussed but these people who don’t like this version are classic anti-listeners! Well done master!
Very talented - I'm not a fan of the slower tempo but I've heard this a million times so it's hard to adjust. My brain knows every nuance so it's rough. The uptempo section is really fantastic though. I hope this guy is doing well.
The moment he changed the tempo and started going fast was priceless, also the pause that he had but unfortunately after the paused he stopped playing fast, he should have continued and slowly change the tempo slower as he does with out the beat.

You are sooo fucking awesome, have loved you from the beginning and I am a 67 yr old woman who lives in the Pacific NW, USA, God bless you!!!

people each take something from song/poem that others do not...no need to be like this because everyone doesn't like YOUR choice of music
Karyn Nash Collins
I agree. New great version to a classic and very good cover, up lifting, talented musician
Karyn Nash Collins the haters are due to the singer not doing the song as it was written and sung originally
I love the original version very much, but I love Passengers version even more. It's so clear that this is one of passengers favorit songs as he sats. So many feelings coming out of him in his cover.

I agree just discovered Passenger tonight by accident .... and love it and I too love Xavier ...to each his own I say
Disturbed is brilliant too.

This upload is by far my favourite version ever of this song. Why isn't passenger bigger its 2020 and his voice stands up against anyone.
Absolutely amazing version. So much talent.
Saw S&G perform this in a football stadium in late 70s which was awesome but Mike does his own take with great emotion. Well done.
Have to admit, he takes this song to a whole other level. He adds emotion that has me gob- smacke. Wonderful
Creative and refreshing rendition of the Sound of Silence
I love this guy men, he's so humble.
i was at pinkpop at his live performance with tears in my eye's,
and even now a year later i need te cry again,

I envy you! .. realy.. i love this version of the sound of silence..
Aaah I envy you
I cried too, in pain listening to his ability of destroying a great song, Simon and Art should sue this dude .
Amazing how quiet the crowd is as he starts singing
Nice rendition.
Raw. Unique. Pure.

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
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my…
Wish you had all the lyrics.
Hear my voice
That I might reach you
But my words
Like silent raindrops fell...
Upon the
Sounds
Of
Silenc e
.
And the sound
Said
The WORD S
Of the prophets are
written
on the subway halls
and tenement walls.
@@maxwellsmart6487 A+ for effort.

He is a musician who emerses himself in music. Amazing.
Beautiful hypnotic voice, loving every beats of it💗
Thank tout Mike ...❤️
I feel that I gonna cry this song,thanks man.
Браво! Потрясающая энергетика вокала! Я уверен, что Полу Саймону и Арту Гарфанкелу не стыдно за эту кавер-версию их знаменитого сингла.
My song for my family who's no longer here 💕💕💕💕 rest easy and happy Christmas to one and all ,and all the best in 2022 here's to a better year
Simply beautiful!!!
LOVE!!!! I got goosebumps!!!!!!!

What great honour to the orignal S&G. Wow.
Happy this guy has got the notoriety he deserves 👏🏼🤙🏽🤙🏽🕺🏻

I love the original version very much ❤🎉
He did it all well, you know why? ....his passion for this song can be heard all through the song.....he is an artist that lives music.
shokthemonkey nils. Well said! I can’t Listen to any other version of this song now! This is so amazing!
Well this guy is charming and I also love his version of it, this is very touching
Mainline to my soul. Great job.
This is so great you by your self. pulling this off it is amazing great deal man!
geweldig
Out of this world
Always on a edge of crying when I hear you and your music
Simply staggering cover...
Passenger is the best , he only has his guitar and his voice..no band !
Music never sounded so good! What's an unbelievable performance, I would love to see this guy duet with Paulo it would sell out the world over!
Raw talent, raw emotion absolutely awesome
At least he tried. How can you know something is good or bad if you don't try it. Aren't we all learning from trying attempts and failures ?
Powerful and/yet Emotional
Love him so much!
I see again and again❤
Que lindo Passenger!!!!🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Bravo, superb version of this masterpiece!
Just awesome 💥💥💥
Wow amazing cover 👌🏽
Holy crap i knew he was famous but i never knew he could sinds this good now he is my favorite singer of all time
Como eu amo essa canção!!!! Ela cala nas profundezas do meu ser. Se lança nas entranhas das minhas carnes. Abissalmente atinge a minha alma!!!
Is voice is so relaxing
Amazingly underrated in the US. Mike is awesome.
Love Passenger. He is great
Love you man !
Speechless.....he killed it
The moment he changed the tempo and started going fast was priceless, also the pause that he had but unfortunately after the paused he stopped playing fast, he should have continued and slowly change the tempo slower as he does with out the beat.
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 along
Narrow streets of cobble stone
Beneath 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 light
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 dare
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fool" 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 walls 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 signs said "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
Whispering in the sounds of silence
Superb
Very nice- Looove your accent!!
-greetings from Australia
Yes a brilliant rendition. Please also listen to Sounds of silence by Touch of Class! Moving.

Great version of a great song...
Wow speechless
Thanks
Great people,love u mr passenger.
