I don’t think that’s the BEST thing about this performance. Due to the song’s title ‘The Sound of Silence’ it’s befitting in 2 aspects that he asked, and they obliged - giving both him and the song the respect they each deserve!

Before I die, I would love to see Passenger performing 🥺

And I'm back to listen for many times again.

The most creative, unique, and heart felt version of my favorite song I’ve ever heard.

I am in my mid 60s and I HAVE a great respect for the song and he did it flawless God bless

I thought for centuries this song can't be done well with one voice only. I have to rethink, you even raised it higher on that legendary base!

Still remains one of the best versions of this song.

Hallow passengers, man plays the song that truly heals the soul with the tender music and voice....❤💯

The first time I heard this version of the song was when I watched passenger live 7 years ago. It is the first time a piece of music has brought tears to my eyes and made me emotional. I love this outstanding version.❤

Passenger is my absolute favourite living artist. I could (and frequently do) listen to him every waking moment, he is a very, very talented man.

2021 and this song cover still gives me the goosebumps and stillness it's suppose to bring. Love this artist immensely.

How did we ever live without his music, ,please don't ever stop I would surely die

Whoa! He asked thousands of people for a little bit of his Sound of Silence ......... they honoured this until at about 3:25 in, He did that bit of genious and (strummed?) the hell out of his guitar - How would any audience with soul, keep quiet after that ? Do the vocal experts of the world say to keep away from 'cover versions' unless you make it better or unique.....case in point. "Thank YOU so much" Thoroughly enjoyed that, and probably will, many times over x

From Netherlands? Best version of this old classic🎉

Privileged to be in the audience at Wembley for the Ed Sheeran concert.. had never heard of Passenger.. this is the most soul soaring version of of this wonderful song I’ve ever heard, we came out of the stadium absolutely buzzing! Thank you Mike

one of the best covers and does it so differently with his amazing talent he shows passion love and being i felt every word and im sure alot did..hes amazing!!👌😍❤️

I'm not sure why, but watching this video makes me think of the harrowing situation and self sacrifice of all the brave Ukrainian soldiers.

The real deal right here. Paul Simon should be proud.

The fact that this was 11 years ago makes me realise that life is fleeting 🫣

The reason we have his songs.. because he listened and played this in dives for years.. the song is about songs that are better than the greatest never being heard. At least that’s my impression.. as a musician I can relate to this song so much..

One of my all time favourite songs. You, covering it, you did to it justice with your very unique voice, it did give me the goosebumps! Love to you always. ❤ M.

Christ on a bike!!! He made it his own. Brilliant!

Huh that takes me a few minutes to get back to life. Amazing.

How have I not heard this version until now, wonderful!

amazing voice! simply the best version ive heard in my 43 years. props to you!!!!!!!!!

WOW! Awesome 👌😍😍❤

beautiful beautiful version ❤

Timeless song. If all the musicians would sing this one. Maybe people would get what this is about. Love it. Amd really like your version ❤️. Thank you.

IMHO best cover of this masterpiece - they don't make songs like this anymore ; like a 1954 Oldsmobile, a classic - Thanks Michael Rosenberg for taking us down the ol country road . 🙏

Best cover of this classic song EVER!!!

Woooow ❤ chapeau bas champion. Tu mérites respects. Tu as rendu un grand hommage paul simon ❤

I've listened to this 100 times and it gets better everytime

One word.... AWSOME !!!

This one goes right into my eyes... spontaneous reaction. Wow. Thank you !

Have listened to this version of this song loads and still amazes me everytime I hear it his voice is stunning

fire, i see , feel fire, soul, thank you

This music hits deep after the year we've had so far, 2020.

Not how you'd imagine it, but such a legend. A soulful voice. Magic

Hi, this is such an emotional cover. You have the most beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing x

Biggest fan of this song n this cover is the best I’ve heard it’s unbelievable his voice is amazing y dnt we hear more of him where is he 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a truly astonishing musician you are Mike!

This man should capture our intire world to silence all of us. For just a moment to love the person next to us. !!!! Reaching deep inside my heart to express this.

Mike, you're a great artist in my mind for a lot of reasons. You've been the soundtrack of my life over the past decade. It all started with Let Her Go. My ex and my sister's husband left about the same time and we were both devastated. He was/still is my world. I'm 💔 still, but have come a long way. My brother in law died and i miss him greatly. I lost everything: my possessions, my home, my sense of security, belonging, and above all, love. I ended up getting very sick from a very rare, previously undiagnosed neurological condition that's debilitating most days. He's seen what I have been through and has come back as an old friend who has someone else but still has kept an eye on me, as protector. And a shoulder and ear for me. He gives the best hugs! There's days i didn't know how much I missed myself, my love, and our family. I felt emotional and physical sickness of being VERY numb and VERY angry. Your lyrics are what i was feeling and trying to figure out how to work on, through. You gave helped me be emotional and right made me give myself permission to feel and finally cry. Thats an unknowable gift you can't understand what it means to myself, and people like me. I hope you get around to the Upstate NY area at some point so I can see you live. Thank you again and all the best!!

This is such a super rendition, beautifully song, with so much soul so much love

A beautiful interpretation of a timeless classic, wonderful made my heart soar! Cannot believe this is the first time I have heard it, as someone else said in the comments, a loving tribute to the original artists 🥰 Nice work Passenger! I am going to have to listen again now & then tomorrow bring it to everybody else’s attention who missed it like I did x

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 And 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 Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence

I like his voice especially when he shouting aloud of chorus just to give emphasize not on just letter by letter but the deepest meaning of the song.

So much heart! So much, OMG! I can listen to this a million times and each time remember that I am just an ordinary regular person trying to live a humble life!

People need to stop thinking artists make covers to out-do the original instead of just paying homage to a masterpiece. Take it at face value and stop comparing music.

Although I appreciate originals a lot more than versions, it's not always fair to compare. The purpose is different, the age is different, the person singing is different and has different feelings and life experiences. This is a guy that loves music feeling it! If in the end you feel a connection or not that's another matter. Still, he owns it because he makes it his. If there was no original and this was the first time this music was eared I'm guessing people would praise this performance (and version).

I don't think his intention was to be on the same level of Simon and Garfunkel. He took one of our favorite songs (even me as a 90s kid) and played a passionate performance that moved me to tears. Us as artists do not try to be exactly like the original artist if we play covers, its to pay tribute to the song because we think it's damn amazing and give it our own spin. I think it's a beautiful thing.

I've had some of the best nights of my life at Passenger concerts. Mike is a man of genuine talent and has a heart of gold, I've never seen such lovely transitions and how he has a gift of moving the audience. I remember the beginning chords of "Sound of Silence", how you could drop a pin and hear it over the guitar, and how it crescendoed, hundreds of hands clapping in sync and singing. I even met him after one concert, and how humble this man is! Like he didn't affect so many lives! What a wonderful artist, and fantastic guy!

Passenger singing my Parents fav song sound of silence. This guy has an amazing tone to his voice I can never listen too long before he has me in tears. That is what is known as unbelievable talent.

I’ve listened to S&G since birth (1966), and I think Passenger has done a great rendition. Paul Simon’s words, with Passenger’s own emotion and textures. The acoustic guitar jam inside the body of the song made me think of Richie Haven’s “Freedom”.

He is a true singer that can sing live and sound good not many singers can do that today and won't do it.

Absolute class , Passenger kept me going whilst in Afghan 2013 all them days and nights in the desert great voice great songs

Saw him perform this in Toronto last night. His energy really brought this song to life.

Mike Rosenberg is an amazing artist who still maintains a closeness with the people who listen to him. Despite becoming more and more well know he still asks for a reasonable price for his concerts. I paid $32 to obtain a ticket to his upcoming concert in Toronto, Canada. So humble and so caring of his audience.

This is true talent right here folks. The real thing. You want a real singer who doesn't need a bunch of bullshit to make him sound good? Here he is.

I know people are 50/50 about people doing covers. Some think they do it just because it’s a popular song. Some do it to pay homage to that artist. I’ve never been a huge fan of passengers music, not because he doesn’t sing well he just doesn’t sing the kinda music I like. But I absolutely loved this cover of the song. It’s hard to cover a song when the original is already so good. But I always love hearing people’s twist on this song.
