"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..."
The Sound of Silence was written by Paul Simon in February 1964, in the aftermath of the JFK assassination. The song is Simon and Garfunkel's second most popular hit, the first being Bridge Over Troubled Water.
