[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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 shared

And no one dared disturb the sound of silence

[Verse 4]

"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 you"

But my words like silent raindrops, fell

And echoed in the wells of silence

[Verse 5]

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon God they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In 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

多添点:

今天分享一首 Disturbed 的 《 The Sound of Silence》。
这是一首翻唱歌曲,小E之前推过这首歌的原版,所以关于这首歌的背景故事,大家可以去看这篇文章《The Sound of Silence 原版》
之所以今天又推这首歌,是觉得著名金属乐队 Disturbed 演绎的这个版本有不一样的感觉,大家可以欣赏下。这首不仅与原版,甚至是乐队自己的风格都不太一样。原版用吉他和双层人声来描述孤独感。而这版翻唱使用了钢琴和弦乐,配合苍凉孤独的声音,突出了孤独的力量感。主唱 David Draiman用自己富有力量的声音重新诠释了这首作品。凭借这首翻唱,他们登上了美国硬摇滚数字和主流摇滚排行榜的榜首,并在百强单曲榜上排名第42位,这是他们乐队获得的最高排名。这首歌也是他们在澳大利亚排行榜上排名最高的单曲,排名第四。
2016年4月,原作者Paul Simon在一个脱口秀节目《Conan》上看到了他们的表演后,Paul 给David Draiman发了一封邮件说:“前几天在《Conan》上的表演非常精彩。我第一次看到你现场的表演。太棒了。谢谢。”
David回复说:“我不胜荣幸。我们只是想向这位有史以来最伟大的词曲作家的才华致敬。您的赞美对我/我们来说是最重要的,我们永远感激您。”
这首歌讲述的是人与人之间逐渐丧失的交流,小E觉得音乐是最好的交流。你听到了,理解了歌手表达的内容了,就与这首歌曲进行了最好的交流。
