“People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening”

by

Tunes

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

[- Paul Simon, Sound of Silence -]

Usually I am not a big fan of covers of old amazing and strong songs, but I again found an exception of that. “Sound of Silence” originally written by Paul Simon, performed by Simon & Garfunkel.

When I heard the cover version of Disturbed, I was blown away.

Disturbed’s interpretation gives the song a dark, epic quality that further highlights the themes of isolation, alienation and societal apathy. The lyrics of “The Sound of Silence” reflect the loneliness and lack of communication that is pervasive in modern societies. Lines such as “Hello darkness, my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again” highlight the deeply felt isolation and lack of real communication between people. These words for me, perfectly reflect the feeling that despite constant interaction and communication through modern technology, there is often a lack of real connection and understanding. “The Sound of Silence” as performed by Disturbed is more than just a cover – it’s a reinterpretation that emphasizes the song’s timeless relevance in my view. In an era where social media and digital communication dominate, the message of isolation and lack of real human contact remains more relevant than ever. Disturbed has managed to redo the song in a way that appeals to a new generation while retaining the essence of the original.

Really worth to give it a chance against it’s original 😉

I’m learning to fly

by

Tunes

Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I’ve started out for God knows where
I guess I’ll know when I get there

I’m learning to fly but I ain’t got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
