Lyrics:
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
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach to you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out it's warning
And the words that it was forming
And the sign said
"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

Peter Hollens THIS WAS AWESOME!!! nice job😊. good luck on the next one ☺

[@WillBNunn]

Peter Hollens Great cover! Awesome rendition of one of my favorite songs. :)

[@MrPalox93]

Okay I'm sold. This is hands down my new favorite version of Sound of Silence. Thank you for this :) #ILoveIt

[@withoutmemesiwilldie9240]

Peter Hollens dude you and tim are so amazing together

[@nutsuphanat197]

One of my favourite song. Considering that it is pretty old, I didn't really think you are going to make a cover of this song! Also, I am the 45th Comment, and 1,268th View, viewing only 4 minutes after posting, pretty early this time!

[@DeaconTaylor]

if tim and pentatonix' avi combined forces their bass could probably shatter the earth or something like that. sounds soo good.

[@joyhenley2119]

Home Free's cover of "Ring of Fire" brought them together.

[@DeaconTaylor]

on my way

[@Ekehart]

DeaconTaylor Add Geoff Castalucci from Voiceplay. And yes, the world would shatter.

[@57Strudel]

Talk about bonus ear candy day - this glorious thing AND a new PTX cover on the same day. Honest to Pete, I've died and gone to heaven.

[@lydiakies9053]

Check out Home Fred's cover of Ring of Fire. Avi was featured. It was AMAZING.

[@19Neil67]

Who thinks Tim’s voice is like melting chocolate, so smooth and silky

[@juliewilcox9324]

I do. You could cuddle it like a new kitten. Or, better yet, cuddle with it. Lol.

[@louistrombetta9483]

I've been a singer since I was two. I've sung in a children's choir for eight years, sung everything from Panis Angelicus to Shuberts Ave Maria, in a 45 piece choir in church for 35 years, blues and rock. I'm pushing 70 years old, been praised by professional and just ordinary music appreciators. In all my years I have never experienced voices like angels on high. You angels have fallen out of heaven to earth . You touch my soul and all that hear you. It is truly a God given gift. There's nothing else I can say but I love you angels. Never become silent. Louie the voice.

[@ravaniawright6004]

Give Angelina Jordan a listen you will enjoy her voices. Every song has a different sound.

Tim Foust and Peter Hollens! Listening to you both is the highlight of my day. You guys have endless talent given to you by our Saviour Jesus Christ!

[@MLDeS100]

when that bass starts popping in, really completes the sound.

[@deborahdavis4278]

I have never heard a voice that I could seriously FEEL from my head to my toes. Tim Foust voice is like a champagne butter, smooth, creamy and leaves you feeling all tingly.

[@hungkiet7535]

[@protectoroffaith]

Deborah Davis it’s the fact his vocal cords are so long and he can make them go slack so much that he can hit unworldly notes he’s a walking sound system

[@monicajanello]

Yes!

[@joanwharff6483]

Deborah Davis You couldn’t have described the Tingly Feeling Any BETTER 🥰😋‼️

[@Weirdpoe]

If you think this one was good, wait till you hear the one done by Disturbed. That one broke a lot of record and was even acknowledged by the original creator of Sound of Silence.

[@morrigankasa570]

Tim Foust, Peter Hollens, Avi, Pentatonix if they all worked together to sing this song would be the most legendary musical event ever; same if that combo did a few other songs.

[@brenjmorris]

NO. We need Voiceplay Home free, PTX, avi and Peter hollens-- any a capella groups and people ever.

[@chloeoeorine]

They would shatter the earth with those basses

Absolutely beautiful I,m 84 years old and I never get tired of listening your beautiful music 👍💕

[@anniethompson5700]

Tim’s range absolutely blows my mind!!! Awesome arrangement

[@nataliemorton5568]

This song is from my era and never dreamed that other artists could be any better than Simon and Garfunkle. In the past year I have heard about 4 or 5, and I love them all. Your version with Tim is breathtaking in it's purity and beauty. I was a bit teary-eyed and so grateful that the two of you collaborated on this. I will be listening to this one a lot. Thank you from the Southern U.S. 🤗

[@vikkifajkus6233]

Peter I love your voice and songs. The people you sing with are good. GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY 🙏

[@ajensen528]

love tim foust his voice just go to my heart ❤️

[@MsPoopdragon]

After hearing the Disturbed cover of this song, I thought I would never hear another version of this song that gave me chills. You proved me wrong. This is amazing, thank you.

[@jamessanderson2171]

I thought the same.

[@JaxTheReaper21]

Not even close. I kept waiting for something to happen and it didn't. This was dull and lacking all the way through. Gonna have to go listen to David Draiman sing it now to clean this crap version out of my ears.

[@jamessanderson2171]

Jax The Reaper what did you want to happen

[@harrysgirl101]

Sorry but Disturbed still wins. Not saying this is a bad version though, its better than the original and they are very talented. Disturbed just does it better.

[@freyjoy3768]

Listen to simon and garfunkel and why they wrote it. The reason will make anyone think any version us deep

[@jeannettebarker1716]

Thank you. From the past, lost children, of the 60's, lost no more. Saved from drugs and alcohol. Peace be with you.

Not even Disturbed?

[@Harleyman1231]

Isaac Gleeth ha... don't make me laugh... you can't put them two anywhere near each other, if S&G's is solid gold, this version would be white gold and Disturbed's would be copper

Good analogy Harleyman.

This is totally amazing. The harmonies of your 2 voices gave me chills. I love Simon & Garfunkel. I never thought I could love someone else's version more than their's, but I do. I know I will be playing this all day long and every day after that. Love you both!

Lets not forget Geoff castillo from voice play

[@jillrobertson1829]

Love Tim Foust's wonderful basso.

[@cindyd100]

I am a huge Simon & Garfunkel fan and I’ve heard many remakes of this. My son even learned it as a poem to recite in grade school. I can honestly say that of all the remakes, you guys absolutely nailed this! Your voices were beautiful, like S & G’s are. You interpreted this song perfectly, knowing when to put emphasis or softness to your voices to reflect the meaning of the song, but in your own original way. I saw you did Bridge over Troubled water and I can’t wait to go listen. Incredible job guys!!!

[@M0rmagil]

I like Disturb’s cover as well, but this is beautiful.

[@timtereshchuk7217]

Tim absolutely murdered the song (in an epic way) with his booming voice

[@Bestdjdjsjsoaos2183]

Tim Tereshchuk he can sing to me any day.

Peter and Tim give us this beautiful, caring message and gift of their artistry...thank you gentleman from the bottom of my heart, just thank you!!

[@skeeterb2006]

This is an another AMAZING cover of Sound of Silence. I bet there were TONS of laughter when Tim and Peter were staring straight at each other. It doesn't matter who you are. Even if you are trying to maintain a serious visage, laughter is going to happen. Especially if you are staring at each other face to face.

[@nate5124]

Just stumbled across this and I have to say this version was way better. I feel like this gives a more understanding and meaning to the song from the way it was sung because of the simplicity. And really giving off the sound of silence.

[@SaffronSphinx]

So I have a mild form of Synesthesia, where taste and sound process as colors. When it's very rich and complex like this, it's very intense for me. If I could convey how I'm hearing you, I'd say your sound looks like a polished wood sculpture with beautiful growth rings and knots. This collab was oak, but your voice has also looked like maple and walnut. At least that's what this nut sees.

[@teshn1229]

Signed in to say I appreciate your pun at the end :) Also I love hearing how people with synesthesia perceive things. Have you heard and watched quarter past four by avi kaplan?

[@SaffronSphinx]

@@teshn1229 Since my synesthesia is a more mild form, it really only pops sometimes, like with a strong emotion or when the sensation is isolated so I can more easily identify it. I like Avi, but that song didn't hit me as viscerally as Peter's two previously mentioned, which means I had to concentrate more. The song you mentioned reminds me of is the color of a rainy sky reflected in a pond, but that's more what the sounds were shaped in the guitar along with his voice plus some suggestion from the cover art. Usually Avi's voice is mahogany or... hmmm...lava. Had to think of it. That was a surprise.

[@erisdiscordia1649]

Wait a minute, I'm a bit lost. Call me what you will, but I didn't know that Synthesia was something more than the programme.
