After all that physical work outside today and the walking indoor, I now need some music to relax. A good dinner and a relaxing shower put me in that mood. Now, it's music time and writing time for me. The version of The Sound Of Silence that I am posting tonight is the original one By Simon & Garfunkel. This one was played 75,516,405 on Youtube. I guess I am not the only one who fell in love with that song on a warm night in Toronto in the 70's. I still remember exactly where I was. Any of my followers remember that song and love it too?

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 (hear the melody now?)

That song is played in our local radio station almost every night at around 10pm. It's a good music to listen to for sleeping.

I do like that song as well, but don't honestly remember exactly when it was released. They had made such great music together.

@marlina Their stuff was simple, and because of it, allowed the voices and the sound to do the work of everything else people use for their music. Pentatonix reminds me of them, sometimes

I can set up my machine with playlists, so depending on the mood I can get the right music. Saves struggling through CDs or YouTube

I absolutely love this song, I have always loved it. I have just read a post about a remake of "A whiter pale of shade", another song that I like". The user posted the link to a remake saying that it was better than the original. I am sorry, but I cannot agree. I have never found a song that is better after a remake. It is the same for the movies.

The song "A whiter pale of shade" was also a big favorite of mine. My girlfriend and I would play it over and over.
