Bridge over Troubled Water"-Simon & Garfunkel

Bridge over Troubled Water is the fifth and final studio album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, released in January 1970 on Columbia Records. Following the duo's soundtrack for The Graduate, Art Garfunkel took an acting role in the film Catch-22, while Paul Simon worked on the songs, writing all tracks except Felice and Boudleaux Bryant's "Bye Bye Love" (previously a hit for the Everly Brothers).

1970년대 전설적인 포크 록 듀오 사이먼 앤 가펑클(Simon & Garfunkel)은 뉴욕의 포레스트 힐이라는곳에서 

어린 시절부터 친구로지낸 폴 사이먼(Paul Frederick Simon) 과 아트 가펑클(Art Garfunkel)은 

만화영화에서 이름을 딴 '톰과 제리(Tom & Jerry)'라는 이름으로 1957년 부터 음악활동을 시작했습니다.

 1965년도에는 탐 윌슨이라는 프로듀서가 그들의 노래 'Sound of Silence'를 편곡하여 이 곡이 대히트를

치면서 또다시 재결합합니다. 이후로부터 1970년에 발표한 앨범 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'에 이르기까지

약7년간 큰 인기를 누립니다. 한편 1968년 더스틴 호프만 주연 영화<졸업(The Graduation)>의 사운드트랙은

세계적으로 빅히트를 치게 되었습니다.

The Sound of Silence(Original version)-Simon & Garfunkel 졸업-사이먼 앤 가펑클

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 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 shared 

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 

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 the subway walls 

And tenement halls 

And whispered in the sound of silence"

This is the original version from 1964 from the album "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM." Just Simon's guitar and the vocals. The famous version was released in 1966. After "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM" flopped, they split up. Without either their knowledge, electric guitars and drums were added and that version of The Sound of Silence became very popular, reaching #1 on the charts in America on New Years Day, 1966. Because of this, Simon and Garfunkel teamed up again and created three more studio albums, one of which one a Grammy award for album of the year and song of the year (Bridge Over Troubled Water).
