The Sounds of Silence

This is a song by Simon and Garfunkel, played in the movie Watchmen during Comedian's funeral. A 5-star recommendation to those who have not listened to it.

The Sounds of Silence

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
and the vision
that was planted in my brain
still remains
within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
narrow streets of cobbled stone
‘neath the halo of a street lamp
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

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

“Fool,” 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 rain drops fell
and echoed
in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
to the neon god they made
and the sign flashed out its warning
in the words that it was forming
and the signs said the words of the prophet
are written on the subway walls
tenement halls
and whispered in the sound of silence.

Tribute To Life

To the loved ones in my life

Brothers

and my furry friends.

Thanks for being around me and sorry for all the bad things I've done. Recent turn of events have really made me realize and appreciate the ones around me... when the whole world crumbles, you're always there. So to everyone out there please do take a look at what's around and take a step back to contemplate!
