Quiet rain plays with the material world, and I’m feeling it in my spiritual world. The soft beats heighten the sounds of silence, so here we are….
I saw Disturbed’s rendition of ‘The Sounds of Silence’ on the net. The original song is powerful, and the words are inspirational, but Disturbed’s presentation is infused with a sense of outrage and dismay. I selected their appearance from Conan’s show.
Music to think about.
A powerful song indeed. Simon’s work at that time was more nearly poetry than that of any songsmith of his era.

I couldn’t decide if I loved or hated this version when I first heard it. It got to me, either way! (Right now, I’m leaning toward love.)
