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!!!

[@Mazwell96]

as a live cover to get the crowd going this is fucking brilliant

[@kandkcollins1]

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!

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

[@jongoodacre1]

Karyn Nash Collins I agree. New great version to a classic and very good cover, up lifting, talented musician

[@MrDarren5012]

Karyn Nash Collins the haters are due to the singer not doing the song as it was written and sung originally

[@SohomBhattacharjee]

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.

[@RyanJeppesen]

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.

[@thisisblackmesa]

Reminds me of the dude in my guitar class that sings everything emotionally but does not understand the concept of music at all. You know, one of those people who says stuff like "F sounds better than C". Fucking... terrible...

[@clintpotts8983]

+Molun Then the dude in your guitar class must be fucking amazing, because this is a fun rendition of this song. I play guitar. I can't play this, nor sing with his passion. I don't get why everyone with an iPod thinks they suddenly know shit about music.

[@qqqq1957mw]

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

[@shondra6]

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

[@nathancooper1]

Disturbed is brilliant too.

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.

[@edisonona1909]

Just a perfect song by a perfect voice

[@katarinajonsson6617]

I could listen to him sing over and over again 🙏👏👏👏❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶 Fantastic and I wish I could see him live some day🙏❤🎶🎶🎶

[@nigeldaker9335]

This is excellent. I bow to you, young man. So much talent.

[@perjrgensen7878]

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.

[@Mark.McLaren]

Beautiful song.. loving this version !!... Just became a fan ! This is what doing what you love and loving what you are doing looks and sounds like !

[@cyrillenicholls700]

Wow, so much power in that song , Wow ,,thank you bro ,, God bless you brother , Hats off !! , love you man ,,, Keep on ,,

im 25, just listening to this song for the first time today and im going down the rabbit hole

[@lynnbaker4736]

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.

[@benborg5873]

Just one man and his acoustic guitar.

Bit late to the party but amazing cover..."best ever"?.. David Draimen..."Hold my beer"...

Amazing how quiet the crowd is as he starts singing

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…

Damn, the way he sung it makes it sound like a sad scene in The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings...

[@davidmolenaar1982]

You must be deaf. But its better to sound like a hobbit, then waking up every morning and staring back at one.

[@mariarib6504]

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.

[@h2oboater]

Amazing Job ...👍👍 I grew up to this music ..... Your voice is Wonderful. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

[@DieBismarck100]

Sorry aber ich finde er macht sehr gute Musik aber hier wurde das Lied von Simon and Garfunkel verunstaltet sorry das Original ist besser

[@slcncr]

Verunstaltet ? Kannst Du es besser ? Mike hat es von der Strasse auf die großen Bühnen dieser Welt geschafft, singt vor Tausenden von Menschen. Er hat " Sound of Silence " auf seine ihm eigene Art präsentiert. Und die beeindruckt mich ehrlich gesagt mehr als das Original. Ich habe ihn neulich bei einem Busk in Hamburg gefilmt. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.

[@DieBismarck100]

Kitebuggy Silentium bitte. Mir gefällt halt das Original besser das ist meine Meinung das wenn Ihnen diese Version besser gefällt bitte aber demnächst bitte Silentium und nicht so aggressiv wie das so rüberkommt.

[@PaulSmith-og2uh]

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 . .

epic! and legit! raw emotion and talent

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 ?

And that kids is a man with a guitar...

[@Techumsa]

Yep, and ruining a classic.

[@mrferris4379]

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.

Oh man - he took one of my favorite songs - one I treasured all my life - and made it live again...

[@cptdex]

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.

[@adventureofed]

This song works so well with his voice what are people saying ?

[@frassedylan]

This rendition owns everything. This is pure awesomeness.

[@mmeechan2]

Fkn brilliant ,lovely ,haunting if you know where im coming from x

[@mikefuller6959]

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!!!

[@Iseeangels1]

Have to admit, he takes this song to a whole other level. He adds emotion that has me gob- smacke. Wonderful

Браво! Потрясающая энергетика вокала! Я уверен, что Полу Саймону и Арту Гарфанкелу не стыдно за эту кавер-версию их знаменитого сингла.

[@65bojangles]

Interesting twist with the accent and pitch. Yes, he reminds me of a chipmunk too. But its sung very well, despite his chipmunk quality. He disagrees also with the original cadence, which makes it hard to sing along actually. But its very good.

[@markmower6507]

You know this just makes me want to listen to some Paul Simon, his Solo work is Underated in my Opinion. Live stuff Especially 😀.

This is so great you by your self. pulling this off it is amazing great deal man!

[@TheMissbloempje]

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, passenger your amazing.

[@cultpixel]

I envy you! .. realy.. i love this version of the sound of silence..

[@nikhilmaniyath7096]

Aaah I envy you

[@Techumsa]

I cried too, in pain listening to his ability of destroying a great song, Simon and Art should sue this dude .

[@kristjanschram4816]

i find it funny he tells people they can sing along , then he sings it this way ... kinda hard to sing along -.-

[@sarasimm6668]

+kristján schram I don't know, I've picked up his way of singing it. But maybe the first take is hard.

[@kristjanschram4816]

+Sara Simm yeah , dont know him at all so that may be it :)

[@andreff204]

Sing well yes however we must respect and sometimes never go there

[@andyfayuk]

disappointing.. ripped the heart out of the song.. way to soft and slow.. and whats the deal with the crazy hard strumming at the end... sounds terrible

Now THIS is a musician!!!

Where, where?

Haha. he always sound like a puppet when I hear him.

[@maxmoppie6010]

[@krisslithos5607]

I agree artist should put their twist in songs the cover but some songs you can't do it, in my opinion nobody would have said anything to him if he done it like the original, I also think that it's a very poor effort, who am I to say though, I don't earn shit loads of money to fuck up great songs! :)

[@sarasimm6668]

+Kriss Lithos yeah, exactly, if you couldn't do any better, why criticize. I think it's amazing.

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.
