Simon & Garfunkel

Sounds of Silence (P. Simon, 1964)
By Simon and Garfunkel

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 share
And no one dare
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 whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

深夜　總是在深夜　我找回我自己
一個陌生的自己　久違的自己

這個寒假發生了很多事情，是我不想要它發生的。總是那樣，我說的是『人總是那樣』，避開危險，追求安逸，就算是虛假的安逸。終於我還是來到了 Titanic 沉船的時候，尋找 you jump, I jump 的浪漫。其實我想笑，因為我寫得看起來有點太浪漫，或用『肉麻』更貼切，但是，用這樣的文筆去描述，卻已經是最貼切的了。

『要看清規戒律這一點的方法，是讓自己變得更透明，或者說更脆弱，讓別人可以看穿他們的想法與情感。』

Simon & Garfunkel 一直是我喜歡的組合，很喜歡他們的歌，我想是因為我是那個年代的人：70年代。我有的是 Simon & Garfunkel - The Essential 這個專輯，大概50MB(非mp3音質，是更好的aac，ape轉錄)，想要的人可以跟我要。
