The Sound of Silence 2012 Re-Make

A 2012 version of the Sound of Silence by Simon, Garfunkle and some dude but the message is still the same. 

The original version was valid then and has just the same meaning now.  We need to reach out to each other.  See each other face to face.  Now that I've said that - stop reading this blog!  Turn off your computer!  Give me a call so we can SEE each other in person.  That's what life is really about. 

Sound of Silence 2012 Lyrics

Hello Iphone, my old friend
I've come to text with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was tweeting
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In google search I walked alone
In the empty Myspace zone
'Neath the halo of a bloggers post
I subscribed to get the most.
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a laptop 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
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence


And the people bowed and prayed
To the web god they made
And the site flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the facebook walls
And tweets to all"
And whispered in the sounds of silence….

By Simon, Garfunkle and Reynolds
