The Sound Of Silence

The Sound of Silence", is a song by Garfunkel. The meaning the sound of silence is the inability of people to communicate with each other. The Sound of Silence consists of five irregular stanzas in which the poet describes the conflict between spiritual and material values in our modern world.

The poem begins with an address to darkness. The poetic and insightful lyrics of Sound of Silence, 'play' with the imaginary of darkness and light to represent people's inability to communicate, which has been destroyed by their detachment and ignorance. The Sound of Silence in its quietly exhilarating manner, may make us hear it differently, too. The movie swells with grand ideas about our relationships with sound and with one another, often put forth through Peter’s soft-spoken voice, which oscillates between calming and eerie, or through the quiet and hum of city noises and orchestral music. The script with Ben Nabors, is right to recognize how sound plays a role in people’s well-being, but it’s downright weird to conceive a character who’s focused on minor domestic disturbances in a city where the noise pollution — a cacophony of car horns and sirens and insult shouting strangers. The Sound of Silence comes close, but resists embracing the humor of its premise.“The Sound of Silence” reverberates with big ideas. There’s the excitement of witnessing an outsider-pioneer explore a new field, trying to parse the data he’s collected to reveal some kind of overlooked “universal law.”
