The Sound of Silence

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

Who Struck John said...

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 sounds of silence."

This song has always been a favorite of mine, but this cover may be my all time favorite. He shows such great control in transitioning from sadness to anger. Really does this song the justice it deserves.

I recently spent hours on YouTube watching reaction videos of music coaches listening to this version for the first time. It was time well spent. Very amusing!

Silence like a cancer grows

As it relates to ZIRP, isn’t that the truth! Hold interest rates this low for a decade and some are likely to leverage up. And leveraging begets more leveraging. When stuck deep in a hole, keep digging deeper apparently. Sigh.
