I was wondering if anyone here remembers that song with Simon & Garfunkel titled " The Sound Of Silence"?
The first time I heard that song I felt in love with it right away. It was in the year 1971 and I was in Toronto in a pizza place with my then boy friend.
Someone got up and put some money in the jukebox and then I heard it.
I was so enthused about it that I ask my boy friend to put more money so I could hear it again.
That Christmas day, one of my girl friend gave me a record of it. Needless to say that I was overjoyed.
Oh and by the way, this boy friend is not the man that I married a few years later.

I love that song. One Christmas I asked as usual for an Elvis album, but my brother, who chose my name got me the Graduate, with this song on it. I might not have been too happy with the album, but I LOVE this song and yes, could listen to this by the hour.

I love this song too! There was a time that I even tried to learn to play this on guitar.

@marlina it was so hard to learn, lol. I was just starting to learn the guitar then, and I gave up on learning the song. I was just so eager to play all my favorite songs but I did not succeed with The Sound of Silence. I just contend myself listening to the song. The Boxer is likewise a great song

I do remember that song and liked it a lot. I liked a lot of their songs. I remember seeing the movie The Graduate and their "Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson" song.

grew up listening to Simon & Garfunkel along with other great classics and legends. My dad is of that era so i picked up on his appreciation of music. :)
my favorite song by them is Cecilia, my now all grown up little cousin , i can still see her at 4 years old singing and giggling and dancing to that song in the kitchen. lol
the one thing i love about songs and music in general is how powerful it is.,like a time machine almost ... with some of the memories those melodies are able to retrieve and recall
