DeeCee1109 Jan 22, 2011 - 10:18 | One of the great ballads ever, when done by S&G. This is barely acceptable. Sad, like watching Willie Mays play for the Mets. Be creative or be gone, Paul. |
Gleamingglenn Jan 22, 2011 - 10:17 | This is such a timeless piece of music |
michaelgmitchell Jan 22, 2011 - 10:16 | I feel quite blessed to have experienced the Paul Simon era in my life. Truly, a poet of our times. |
Cynaera Oct 19, 2010 - 15:53 | I don't care about the politics or the schism between Simon and Garfunkel when this was done. I love the simplicity of it, and the pure, unadorned vocal of Paul Simon. Had Garfunkel been there, I'm sure at that time there would have been a definite edge, but it didn't happen. It is what it is. And I love what it is. |
ubuntourist Oct 19, 2010 - 15:52 | Makes me miss Artie. Still, it's a great song. |
lmic Oct 19, 2010 - 15:48 | I adore S&G but this version is somewhat of a letdown after Cloud Cult! |

kcliss May 13, 2010 - 08:42 | A great song, but the definitive version is from "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM", before the guitars and drums were dubbed in. I'm not as fond of this live version. |

Or maybe he was walking across America. I'm not sure. He actually left the city. Man, I was so far back in the park for this, I couldn't even see the jumbotron. |

goodbugs Dec 06, 2009 - 15:38 | jnhashmi wrote: The story on Paul Simon's "iTunes Originals" about this song becoming a hit gives me the chills, it's a great story, told in minute detail (like how he covered the Billboard magazine chart with a piece of paper so he could reveal each song one by one to see if Sounds of Silence was on it.) He describes the exact moment when he knew his life was changed forever, and his destiny as a professional musician was set. Besides the great music, this type of insight is why I listen to RP |
