THE SOUND OF SILENCE

 “…People talking

without speaking,

people hearing

without listening…”

Paul Simon penned "The Sound Of Silence" (aka "The Sounds Of Silence") for the 1964 album 'Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.'. The acoustic folk rock song was re-recorded as the title track for a Simon & Garfunkel album issued 2 years later.

Its lyrics describe the state of society at the time. It deals with the shallow and sterile relations between individuals. The verses still resonate to this day.

As new songs are covered on this blog, a definitive version will be added to a spotify playlist. Find it and the other Caffé Latté playlists at:
