Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@stephenstrudwick8095]

Het guys, you've played the acoustic version of "The Sound of Silence" from thei debut album, Wednesday Morning 3 AM. This album was actually a commercial failure and led to the duo disbanding; Simon returned to England, and Art Garfunkel to his studies at Columbia University. In 1965, the song began to attract airplay at radio stations in Boston and throughout Florida. The growing airplay led Tom Wilson, the song's producer, to remix the track, overdubbing electric instruments and drums. This remixed version was released as a single in September 1965. Simon & Garfunkel were not informed of the song's remix until after its release. The remix hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending January 1, 1966, leading the duo to reunite and hastily record their second album, which Columbia titled Sounds of Silence in an attempt to capitalize on the song's success. You should listen to the remixed version also, as it was this version that catapulted them to fame. Could be an "S" to you. :-)

[@ethelynchristopher6995]

Yep, definitely not the studio/radio version those of us of a certain age are used to.

[@emmakaplan7508]

Nah this version is underrated. People couldn’t appreciate it enough back then but I’m glad it’s gained a cult following in more recent years

[@lambokarabeekian6192]

Great comments; right on point and I totally agree.

[@NakAlienEd]

I thought this version sounded a little different from what I'm used to.

[@thegreatskinkpriest8104]

I really don’t like the remix. It sounds overproduced and cheesy. This version is so much more intimate and raw, and miles better.

[@ingrid8994]

This is definitely an S tier come on guys 😊

[@bearbosco6739]

If you want to hear Simon and Garfunkel doing medieval sounding songs, there’s nothing better than Scarborough fair / canticle. Some of the best harmonies you will ever hear!

[@lynne5322]

Indeed. (I always kinda thought of them as wandering minstrels / madrigals...)

[@texasca9753]

Agreed, that's the song to hear next.

[@tkengathegrateful4844]

The version they perform on the Andy Williams show is truly amazing - with Williams adding a third voice the harmonics go to 11!

[@lizabethlu8824]

I love that song. There is a version done by Celia Pavey, a contestant on the Voice in Australia that is simply beautiful. It's just her with her guitar, no harmonies.

[@johnf7683]

Scarborough fair / canticle is a must listen. I agree with the comment about the version from the Andy Williams show, it really brought out the best from all involved.

[@jeffstewart4753]

In the end, with Simon and Garfunkel, you have to let your preconceptions of music go. Paul Simon is one of the best American songwriters and the vocal performance of Art Garfunkel is incomparable. S-tier duo.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

The next S&G song you should do is Scarborough Fair/Canticle. Scarborough Fair is an old English ballad. Canticle is a rewriting of an anti war song by Simon with a new melody written by Garfunkel. The two songs and the two voices all interwoven make for an incredible experience.

[@helenespaulding7562]

I'm so glad they GOT this. Funny he mentioned "medieval"... next up must be Scarborough Fair. Also must get on America, Homeward Bound, and At The Zoo

[@oldmovieman7550]

People always talk about the version by Disturbed, probably seen dozens of reactions to that version. But this for my money is superior in every way.

[@raptordreamer]

Imagine listening to this song for the first time coming at you over AM radio. How many remember those days?

[@andychisarick6879]

I remember...for instance, listening to "Rockin Robin" on my little transistor radio while walking to school..."Long Haired Lover From Liverpool" on the way home from school...not saying those were my favorites, just the first that come to mind. And maybe "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". All had one thing in common, that little black tinny-sounding transistor radio. Everyone had one at the pool all summer long, too. Hate to sign off with a cliche, but it sure would be nice to be young again, huh?

[@barbarapatterson9288]

I do remember very well. I'm 79 and heard the best music in those years. Never would have missed it and lucky born in that era. Enjoy as u do the same.

[@jmhaces]

I always loved how the final lyric to this song, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls and whispered in the sound of silence" was referenced and lampooned by Rush in "Spirit of Radio" when Geddy Lee sang "For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall, concert hall, and echoes with the sound of salesmen." Both brilliant in their own way.

[@alexjbennett1017]

Thank you for pointing this out to A&A, given their love of the Rush song. Neil Peart's twist on Paul Simon's lyric is deliciously ironic and cynical.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Lampooned means to make fun of. Actually, Peart was paying homage to S&G because all of us knew the reference and thought the change up in lyrics was a clever satire

[@smilerpink]

Thanks for pointing that out. I am a huge Rush fan but didn’t put that together. New twist on Peart’s lyric.

[@triscat]

@@helenespaulding7562 Yes. It's not a lampoon of the lyrics. Peart is making a sly comment on how the music business world devolved from sending out prophetic messages to becoming crap to be bought and sold. Art v. commerce. An old story.

[@Joshuadgog]

yes correct always though that

[@davidrauh8118]

This is an earlier version without the band and strings. But it's the words that makes this song great.

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Greatest song of all time. You need to listen to the words multiple times to grasp what they are saying about society... and it resonates even MORE today, with people standing next to each other but both staring at their phones and not talking. It is today's society in a song. People hearing without listening...

[@Meandmymirror]

Or is it about people in your dreams?

[@christianman73]

@@Meandmymirror That's one interpretation of the song, but according to Paul Simon, it's not about dreams. In interviews, he has talked about how he intended for the song to be a lament about lack of genuine connection and communication in the contemporary world. Sadly, things are much worse now, in that regard, than they were when the song was written.

[@kenlight3793]

The lyrics are phenomenal, and that's what takes it from an A+ to an "S"

[@pattyliedel6485]

It’s for sure taking about people needing to connect while feeling ever more isolated, but posed as a dream - something disturbing he’s very aware of but not always consciously.

Posting before you review, after the song. I'm 57...this, as I'm sure you know, is an EPIC song. I got goosebumps once again, listening to it.

[@irishgrl]

This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS. I firmly believe Paul Simon is SUPERIOR to Bob Dylan as a lyricist. Also, if you want a powerful recent cover, I HIGHLY recommend Disturbed’s version. Paul Simon himself gave it his stamp of approval 👍

[@kenlight3793]

Couldn't agree more, and that is why it is an "S", not an A+

[@QueenFornis]

I agree that Simon is a much more accomplished lyricist than Dylan. In fact, I consider him to be one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. Anyone who can put the word misconstrued in a song (50 ways) and make it work, is a genius.

It’s hard to believe that this version was released in ‘64. It was really ahead of its time in terms of composition and production. It never ceases to take my breath away. Just a perfect song. The electric overdub version released in ‘65 is incredible, too. Another song from The Graduate you should react to is “Scarborough Fair/Canticle.” It’s atmospheric and beautiful and full of autumn vibes. It’s also my favorite S&G song.

[@billide1463]

Gents. I was in Grade 9 when this came out. Our English teacher broke it down for us. This was an S in its day. No doubt about it. It is every bit as relevant today.

[@robertpease9834]

Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair is a fantastic song, that when you analyze the lyrics, it becomes so much more powerful.

[@horsebydayartbynight]

I'll echo others - this is the acoustic version, and gorgeous as it is, it isn't the version that catapulted them to fame. Check out the radio version, it's also amazing.

[@roncypert8255]

One of the most iconic songs of any generation. Paul Simon is a genius song writer and he had never let himself be chained to the wall, being limited to one particular style of music. The progression of his writing, both lyrically and musically would make for an excellent documentary which would delve more deeply into his entire catalog of work than the EXCELLENT “Under African Skies” documentary which dealt primarily with the making of his Graceland album. You should now react to Disturbed’s version of Sound of Silence and witness David Draiman’s remarkable interpretation! Either one of official video or the live performance on The Conan O’Brien Show will astound you! I really appreciate and enjoy the way you react to the music you bring. Proud to belong to the A&A family……

[@dalejohnson4256]

Yeah ... this was very interesting. I thought I was going to hear the version released on all the pop/rock stations when S&G first came out ... and it's different! I had no idea there was an original, acoustic version. Thank you to the man who wrote the comments below for the clarification.

[@andyb7942]

This acoustic version is great, but most people are familiar with the version that became a hit after S&G had broken-up and their manager or producer added electric guitar and drums. I'd assume A&A would like that version more because of the added instrumentation.

[@yesman9721]

This version is better

[@Fishmorph]

They probably would, although I like it less. The minimalism of the original is haunting. Once you know the other version is a remix to capitalize on the song’s popularity, the additions stick out (not in a good way).

[@greggw.brevoort]

I think a song like this is the definition of S-tier. Immediately iconic - covered by musicians of every genre and generation. I've heard this at weddings AND at funerals. It's been played in bars and in churches. It is timeless and relatable to literally everyone who hears it. Not even my favorite S&G song, but it is, in a way, a perfect song. (next: "America", "Only Living Boy In New York")

[@kevinjohnson211]

and liked/tolerated by fans of most genres, the rockers like it as much as the country crowd

[@Mime59100]

Only living boy is one of the greatest songs ever written

[@Darkkfated]

I mean, "Hello darkness, my old friend" is basically a meme at this point.

[@marcpoitras1785]

I don't think this song is about sleeping. It's more about the lack of communication that plagues society. "People talk without speaking. People hear without listening" A line like "People writing songs that voices never share" really illustrates the tragedy of people not sharing their creative gifts because of fear of what others will think. Other great lines in this song are" Silence like a cancer grows" for which I picture a married couple drifting further and further apart as they fail to communicate and "and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made" which I interpret as the fact that television has contributed to the lack of communication in society. Definitely should be an S tier song.

[@margostites6385]

Right. This song isn't about sleeping. You need to really listen to the lyrics.

Art Garfunkel is widely regarded as the best harmonizer ever. The harmonies is what makes Simon & Garfunkel songs the creme de la creme.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Watching the Concert at Central Park they did some Paul Simon songs together like "Me and Julio". It made me realize that there isn't a song that Simon wrote that couldn't be made better by a touch of Garfunkel.

[@BobLbrmn]

Garfunkel is singing 100% melody here. Simon is handling the harmony.

Without a doubt Scarborough Fair/Canticle from the album Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme. It is an English folk song about a man sending an ex lover a message with impossible tasks to win his love back. It's sung in counterpoint with an anti war song, Canticle. Together, they are hauntingly beautiful, sad and arguably one of the best harmonized songs ever sung. Have the lyrics handy...you'll want them.
