Classic songs like «Sound of Silence» are known for their powerful messages. Lukas Nelson offers a soulful cover that captures the emotional depth of the original. While Simon and Garfunkel's version features upbeat instrumentals, Nelson's interpretation adds a new layer of meaning while still expressing the same pain and confusion...
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeps
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silenceIn 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 silenceAnd in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People write songs that voices never share
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence“Fools” I said, “You don’t know
Silence like a cancer grow
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 silenceAnd 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 subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence”
