As a child growing up in the 60s & into the 70s right next to New York City, I can really appreciate the accuracy & pure genius of S&Gs NYC urban imagery. Something a non-native to the area wouldn't know of. The NYC urban imagery is so historically true. SSOO NYC! But the parallel Biblical imagery combined with the modern NYC imagery is beyond brilliant. Yes, the words of the prophets actually WERE written on subway walls! SO TRUE! And tenement halls. And in alleys and under bridges. Anywhere there was graffiti. The irony of being utterly alone even in a sea of "ten thousand people, maybe more" - In my memories I envision Times Square back in the day when it was booming. Throngs of people, but no one making eye contact; it was an unwritten rule. People not communicating anymore on a deep emotional level. Not able to connect emotionally anymore, love grows cold. *Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you* … “Jerusalem, O Jerusalem! How I have longed to gather your children into my arms as a mother hen gathers her chicks! But you would not." And Jesus wept. David really captures the angst of trying desperately to reach out and no one listens ... *And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made!* And they worshipped the golden calf. False idols and gods of our own making. *"The sign flashed out its warning, in “the words that it was forming”* … *the “words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls”* … And just what were the words that were supernaturally forming on the wall in the book of Daniel? They told the king, "You have been JUDGED and found wanting. Your kingdom is taken from you." By the next morning, the king is dead and Babylon has fallen. Just like that. How often is New York City likened to a modern-day Babylon? This is truly one of the darkest, saddest songs ever written. At it's core, It speaks to human condition, which hasn't changed since the dawn of man. To really appreciate the pure genius of the lyrics you really need to understand the Biblical references. This song came from a Gospel/Folk album. And David Draiman is SO CRAZY TALENTED! His control, range and the sheer beauty of his voice! Best version ever. I still have the actual album "Wednesday Morning 3AM." 🙂 Bleeker Street and Sound of Silence were my favs from that album. Both have beautiful lyrics, and the same message. But at the end of Bleeker Street, there is still hope. At the end of Sound of Silence, there is no hope. It's JUDGEMENT DAY. The writing is on the wall. God Bless!

Not "My Generation" pals. You hummed ‘I'm A Believer’ (by The Monkees, but has a lot of covers, like Smash Mouth's). ‘Let's Go Crazy’ only repeats 2 notes + 2 notes on the keyboard to support the rhythm: sometimes louder and sometimes more subtle during the song. Prince always made the music he wanted to make, he didn't follow fashions or ‘label orders’. Many times he was years ahead of those trends, not only in music but also in production (which he also did personally, always). That is ONLY ONE OF MANY of the reasons you can't compare Prince and MJ. Prince had music running through his veins and that's what he breathed, music. He could make a song in a couple of days ready for pressing and release several albums in a year (even double and triple vinyl albums): MJ needed even 2 years and several teams of writers, musicians and producers for a single album. P is probably the most respected musician by the greatest musicians of all time. Only a few could say ‘I influenced Miles Davis’. BTW, MJ offered a song but Prince said ‘whoever is going to sing that line to the other guy... no thanks'. The line was 'your butt is mine' in "Beat It". Ending: The Video Version is cut and with parts of the beginning mixed one on top of the other. The OV is a bit longer and more juicy in the middle.

You should watch the whole tv special - he was at his peak - this was after the beetles invasion who knocked every thing off the charts- I heard Elvis when I was 14 and he was 20 something- that was over 65 years ago .This just exciting as he was then. All guys crew sideburns and copied his hair . Never saw him in a leather before this show it was all down hill and those costumes he started to wear.

Prince helped to define the 80s, but he's not an "80s artist". He made music and performed at a high level from the late 70s to the 2010s. A wide range of what he can do is on display in his Super Bowl performance...put it on the reaction list.

It's so pure, real, and raw. This song has always touched my soul, but this version reaches into the depth of my soul and leaves me weeping for our culture that is lost to neon gods and false prophets and 61 years after the song was written, the voices of the streets and the tenements, the poor and downtrodden are still not heard. We need to listen. We need to learn.
