Title: The Sound of Silence
Post by: Karen4 on May 30, 2016, 20:52:53 PM
If you haven't heard this version before then you are in for a real treat. Listen to the end...the most powerful music I have heard since Big Ben was a watch.

Even without looking it has to be the versioning disturbed, heard it about 3/4 months ago, I was so impressed I sent the link to  a friend at a radio station on the Blanca, it deserved more airplay than it got.

Am I the only one who thinks it's a complete dirge?  I couldn't possibly listen to more than 10 seconds at a time.  Absolutely dreadful version of the wonderful Simon & Garfunkel song.   :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

Yes it would appear that you might be the only one as I've not yet heard a bad review on their version.

Well I know that or I wouldn't have replied.  You asked a question and I answered.

I would love to listen to this, but it plays the first few opening bars then stops,  nothing such a shame as this is a great piece of music, (The original anyway).

Well finally got to listen to it, but sorry not my kind of music, kind of, ruined a beautiful song.

Here is the original version, and very appropriate at the beginning when they start talking about the problems people are having on the forum at the moment  :smackhead:.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DczvzKzNLbU   The beautiful gentle version of 64, and an equally fantastic angrier version well suited for a more advanced society 52 years later. How can 2 songs that are the same be emotionally so different, but still be brilliant.
