The Sound of Silence ~ 畢業生主題曲 ~ 沉默之聲
作曲:Paul Simon 作詞:Paul Simon 是一首出色無比的歌曲與詩文, 不只旋律平靜順暢,歌詞也是數一數二的優秀。 簡短的言詞已經造出充分的氣氛與韻律, 其中隱涵的意義更是令人深思。即使不論更深層, 光是表層也能感受到那份氣味,令靈魂跟著觸動。 沉默之聲(The Sound of Silence)是60年代美國流行的一首民歌, 作曲者是Paul Simon。1963年11月23日美國總統約翰甘迺迪被暗殺, 消息震驚全世界,甘迺迪聲譽正隆,美國人痛失他們所愛戴的國家領袖, 心靈的創傷不可謂不劇,Paul Simon這時寫這首歌適時反映了大眾的心聲。 沉默之聲(The Sound of Silence)歌詞 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 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 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 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 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 prophets Are written on the subway walls And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
