The Sound Of Silence - Truer words have not been spoken watch!

youtube.com — Art Garfunkel - "Inability of people to communicate with each others.. and.. not particularly internationally, but especially emotionally.. so that what you see around those people who are unable to love each others." More then 45 years later, since the song was originally written, we still have yet to really start listening to one another.

  • angusm, on 07/13/2009, -1/+12Tom Lehrer once said "I feel that if people can't communicate, the very least that they can do is to SHUT UP ABOUT IT."
  • phatbyte, on 07/13/2009, -1/+12It hasn't, it's just under the huge shadow of the ***** music of today.
  • muleskinner, on 07/13/2009, -1/+11Awesome songs are awesome. I'm on lunch break, right now and this is exactly what I needed to get e through the rest of the day.

    ???
  • deweyhewson, on 07/13/2009, -0/+6I agree, although I'd replace "professionals" with "musicians".
  • robinthehood, on 07/13/2009, -0/+6you're merely exacerbating the situation by posting that comment on digg..
  • borez, on 07/13/2009, -0/+6You'd need the vocal stems for that, but to be honest, i'd leave it well alone. Kinda like adding coca-cola to a vintage wine.
  • geoman2k, on 07/13/2009, -2/+8someone should go through a bunch of classic songs and add autotune to them to see what they would have sounded like if they were recorded today. that might be interesting. kinda like Autotune the News but with more desecration of classic music.
  • eanbowman, on 07/13/2009, -0/+6I don't think the form of communication is the problem at all. It's not identifying the person on the receiving end as a valuable entity with a worthwhile point of view that's the problem.
  • eanbowman, on 07/13/2009, -0/+5There are a few bands who toured before I was even born who I would have like to have seen live. These are one of them.
  • trogdoor, on 07/13/2009, -1/+6I turn my collar to the cold and damp
  • borez, on 07/13/2009, -2/+7Because it's ***** awesome, and some times you need ***** awesome to brighten up a ***** day. That is why.
  • inactive, on 07/13/2009, -1/+6so it bothered you that this is on digg so instead of burying and moving on you choose to comment
  • foucaultsvac, on 07/13/2009, -1/+6Musician Noticed Something Wrong With Culture
  • cl2yp71c, on 07/13/2009, -0/+4Tonight, a comedian died in New York.*
  • lunachique, on 07/13/2009, -0/+4Dugg for Tom Lehrer.
  • borez, on 07/13/2009, -1/+5This one tops it for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwxm4A4VVOs

  • UncleHumjaba, on 07/13/2009, -1/+5I wonder how Simon and Garfunkel could write such poetry in music. And why has this talent disappeared from music today?
  • glaz, on 07/13/2009, -0/+3"More important than the quest for certainty is the quest for clarity” - Gautier
  • dlm85, on 07/13/2009, -0/+3thanks for correcting me, my rush fanboy status needs to be taken away. I am embarrassed.
  • nigelsan, on 07/13/2009, -0/+3that is not closer to the heart, it is Spirit Of The Radio.

    but +1 for trying.
  • finalcloud33, on 07/13/2009, -0/+3me too... one day from 750 layoffs in owego new york lockheed martin.
  • TheUndertoker, on 07/13/2009, -0/+3Wrong....

    'Spirit of the Radio'
  • doctechnical, on 07/13/2009, -2/+5Recently technology has greatly increased people NOT communicating. We're so busy texting, Twattering, using the phone or Instant Messenger that actual re-life face-to-face *conversation* is a lost art.
  • Paranor01, on 07/13/2009, -0/+2@glaz: now there's honest truth
  • omnithought, on 07/13/2009, -1/+3I never realized that Art Garfunkel looked like Tom Cruise. That sucks.
  • kaminariko, on 07/13/2009, -2/+4With that spelling and grammar, I don't doubt it a bit.
  • 2Pharcyded, on 07/13/2009, -0/+2saw these guys in 05 for one of their reunion tours. they were ***** awesome
  • seinfeld42, on 07/13/2009, -2/+4Did anyone see (comedy show) Flight of the Conchords when a girl kept making Jermaine dress up as Art Garfunkel while err....making love? She called it "Garfunkeling". Ha ha. Art Garfunkel makes a cameo at the end of the episode as well!

    P.S. Great song. Obviously!
