創(chuàng)作背景
1964年，保羅·西蒙移居歐洲后，開始在巴黎和英國倫敦各種民間俱樂部中演出。返回紐約后，他與CBS的唱片公司簽約，制作人為湯姆·威爾森（Tom Wilson），并且重新與他的老搭檔加芬克爾合作。他們在1964年錄制的專輯《Wednesday Morning》，其中包括歌曲《The Sound Of Silence》的銷量不是很好，使得西蒙返回倫敦。
1967年，保羅·西蒙（Paul Simon）和加芬克爾（Garfunkel）有一個重要的計劃是為電影《畢業(yè)生》擔任音樂制作，在1968年哥倫比亞唱片公司發(fā)行的電影原聲唱片中，人們聽到了《寂靜之聲》。
歌曲歌詞
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 walk 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
And 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 signs said, 'The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
