Paul Simon - Sound Of Silence Cover By Lukas Nelson

Lyrics:
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 cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a streetlamp
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
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

“Fools” said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grow
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
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said “The words of the prophets
Are written on subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence”

  • At my age, 72, I told my children I didn't want to live in a world without Willie. Man Lukas you are an amazing musician, I think I might stick around anther 70 just to hear your music.
  • We'll never lose Willie's voice... this young man sounds just like his daddy! Get 'em Lukas! We're listening!
  • @gloriaa5060
    Listening again, it is now 2024 !!! I hope this old world of people gets back the morality of life and stop the crazy chaos that is going on.
  • I’ve been listening to you for awhile now. Everyone says you sound like your dad. Your dad is one of the greats of all time. But you have your own voice and your own message that is great and getting better.Don’t stop you’ve only begun to explore your capabilities. Thank you for respecting music and taking it to the next level.
  • Wow, Willie must be so proud to know his voice will live again.
  • Yes we need this more than ever in this political upheaval. TU my friend for doing a cover of this lovely music. Prayers for good health and safety for the Nelson family and musicians.
  • @samrad222
    I've loved listening to your dad for 50 years. I certainly love listening to you too.
  • What? 4 yrs ago....I missed it until today. I’m speechless..... he sounds a lot like Willie if not spot on.... I’m still taking this in......how beautiful.

    I am alone in my House in Athens of Greece, and I am trying to protect my self and the other people from covid 19. I feel like a prisoner. Your song maybe is the best medicine for loneliness. I Love you my friend !!! Thank you !!!

    I have all the POTR cds. After hearing your Quarantunes for 2 months I have to say your real talent lies in your solo performances

    Willy and Lukas has gotten me through so many times I never thought I would. I was the angel flying to close to the ground, I died on 02/24/2020 of a massive cardiac arrest in my sister's arms. I was on life support for 5 days no brain activity. My first thought when awoke was Willy's angel flying to close to the ground, then I was so happy to hear Lukas's version, AMAZING that Lukas sounds so much like his dad. God bless both of these wonderful and AMAZING men. Thank you Willy and Lukas, you really did help save my life.
  • Lukas I'm so glad you younger people get it musically. The future of music is safe with you. You do justice to the past and blow us away with your own stuff. Well done Lukas!!!
