The Sound of Silence


3 comments:

  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

  2. 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."

  3. 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.
