Simon and Garfunkel
Paul Simon
Art Garfunkel
1965-1970 成軍六年
melodic
blandly inoffensive
They first came to prominence in 1965, and split up in 1970.
re-formed
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Damn, not again!
The Sound of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping 幻象緩慢地爬過
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence. (矛盾的修辭造成反差)
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone 鵝卵石
Neath the halo of a street lamp (Beneath)
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 (I, my eyes => subject)
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 比喻對物質主義的膜拜
And the sign flashed out its warning 聖經的典故
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on
the subway walls 先知的箴言
And tenement halls" 窮人住的廉價公寓
And whispered in the sounds of silence
沉默變成一種聲音, 假裝它都不存在
led to the duo breaking apart
airplay 廣播電台
overdubbing electric instrumentation
在浴室完成的歌曲
