Inrestless 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
The Sound of Silence adalah lagu lawas yang dirilis pada tahun 1965 yang sangat populer di seluruh dunia, masuk dalam daftar 10 besar tangga lagu di AS, Inggris, Australia, Jerman, Belanda, dan Jepang. Pada tahun 2012, lagu tersebut didaftarkan ke National Recording Registry di Library of Congress karena dianggap penting secara budaya. Diciptakan oleh Art Garfunkel dan Paul Simon, lagu tersebut memiliki kisah menarik di baliknya ? kisah yang menyangkut Art Garfunkel dan sahabatnya, Sanford Greenberg. Persahabatan Greenberg dan Garfunkel bertemu di minggu pertama mereka di Universitas Columbia. Garfunkel-lah yang memulai kontak, datang untuk mengatakan “Hai.” Segera, keduanya menjadi teman sekamar dan menemukan bahwa mereka memiliki minat yang sama dalam musik dan puisi. Kedua pemuda itu berjanji untuk selalu ada satu sama lain ketika menghadapi masalah. Selang beberapa bulan kemudian, Greenberg kehilangan penglihatannya. Dia sedang menonton pertandingan bisbol ketika merasakan penglihatannya menjadi buram. Tidak lama kemudian, dia menjadi buta. Meskipun dokter mendiagnosis bahwa dia menderita konjungtivitis dan kebutaannya akan segera berlalu, ternyata tidak. Ditambah kemudian ditemukan bahwa glaukoma telah menghancurkan saraf optik Greenberg. Karena Greenberg berasal dari keluarga sederhana, keluarganya tidak memiliki uang untuk membantunya. Karenanya, dia putus kuliah. Secara mental, jiwanya sangat tertekan. Greenberg berhenti berbicara dengan orang-orang dan mengisolasi dirinya sendiri. Saat itulah Garfunkel datang kepadanya dan membujuk Greenberg untuk kembali ke Columbia. Setelah beberapa kali didesak, Greenberg setuju dan mendaftar di universitas sekali lagi. Di perguruan tinggi, Greenberg sepenuhnya bergantung pada temannya. Dan Garfunkel mengubah hidupnya di universitas untuk mengakomodasi temannya yang buta, membantunya berjalan ke kelas, mengurus segala keperluan, berjalan bersama di kota, mengisi formulir untuknya, dan sebagainya. Suatu hari, Garfunkel memberi tahu Greenberg ketika berada di Grand Central Station bahwa dia harus segera berangkat untuk sebuah tugas. Tiba-tiba, Greenberg ditinggalkan sendirian di antara kerumunan, benar-benar ketakutan dan tidak tahu harus berbuat apa. Dia entah bagaimana berhasil kembali ke universitas, menabrak orang dan berbagai benda. Greenberg menyebutnya “beberapa jam terburuk dalam hidup saya.” Di universitas, Greenberg bertemu dengan seorang pria yang meminta maaf kepadanya. Dia mengenali suara itu ? temannya yang baru saja pergi beberapa jam yang lalu untuk “tugas mendesak.” Faktanya, Garfunkel tidak pernah meninggalkan Greenberg. Dia hanya berbohong tentang hal itu dan mengikuti temannya di sepanjang jalan saat kembali ke universitas. Garfunkel ingin Greenberg menyadari bahwa dia hanya bisa mandiri ketika dia benar-benar bertanggung jawab atas hidupnya. Hal itu berhasil dan Greenberg menjadi lebih percaya diri untuk mengandalkan dirinya sendiri. Kedua sahabat itu lulus dari perguruan tinggi dan berpisah. Lagu tentang Sahabat Lama Beberapa tahun kemudian, Greenberg menerima telepon dari Garfunkel yang meminta 400 dollar untuk keperluan rekaman album dengan teman musisinya Paul Simon. Saat itu Greenberg hanya memiliki 404 dollar di rekening banknya namun dia memberikan semua uang itu kepada Garfunkel tanpa berpikir dua kali. Dia merasa sudah waktunya untuk membalas kebaikan yang telah ditunjukkan Garfunkel kepadanya selama kuliah. Dengan uang tersebut, Simon dan Garfunkel merekam album pertama mereka “Wednesday Morning, 3 AM” pada tahun 1964. Satu lagu dari album itu melejit The Sound of Silence. Pada tahun berikutnya, lagu tersebut meroket ke posisi nomor 1. Meskipun Simon menulis lagu tersebut, lirik untuk The Sound of Silence dipenuhi dengan belas kasih Garfunkel sebagai pendamping Greenberg sejak ia buta. Hal ini terlihat dari kalimat pembuka lagu tersebut “Hello darkness, my old friend..I’ve come to talk with you again”Halo kegelapan, teman lamaku, aku datang untuk berbicara denganmu lagi.” Simon dan Garfunkel kemudian mencetak kesuksesan. Adapun Greenberg, ia menjadi pengusaha sukses dan berhasil menemukan obat kebutaan. Silahkan saksikan video lagi The Sound of Silence Lebih banyak artikel Budi Pekerti, silahkan klik di sini.

Peoplewriting songs That voices never share And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence 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 Simon & Garfunkel About Sound of Silence "The Sound of Silence", originally "The Sounds of Silence", is a song by the American music duo Simon & Garfunkel. The song was written by Paul Simon over several months in 1963 and 1964. A studio audition led to the duo signing a record deal with Columbia Records, and the song was recorded in March 1964 at Columbia Studios in New York City for inclusion on their debut album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A. M.. Released on October 19, 1964, the album was a commercial failure and led to the group disbanding, with Simon returning to England and Art Garfunkel to his studies at Columbia University. In 1965, the song began to attract airplay at radio stations in Boston, Massachusetts, and throughout Florida. The growing airplay led Tom Wilson, the song's producer, to remix the track, overdubbing electric instruments and drums. Simon & Garfunkel were not informed of the song's remix until after its release. The single was released in September 1965. The song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending January 1, 1966, leading the duo to reunite and hastily record their second album, which Columbia titled Sounds of Silence in an attempt to capitalize on the song's success. The song was a top-ten hit in multiple countries worldwide, among them Australia, Austria, West Germany, Japan and the Netherlands. Generally considered a classic folk rock song, the song was added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" in 2012 along with the rest of the Sounds of Silence album. more » Year 2007 12,201 Views Playlists 12 The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing 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 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 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 share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "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 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 Watch New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer Simon & Garfunkel Simon & Garfunkel were an American music duo consisting of singer-songwriters Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
