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 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 sounds of silence

Seriously, letting the last line hang is so perfectly Puddles. This is one of those songs you have to make your own if you're going to cover it properly. Nobody can ever be Simon & Garfunkle, and only a fool would try. Draiman also understands this in his cover--he didn't have to change _anything_ other than to sing it from _his_ heart and it became powerful in an entirely new way. It's an absolute masterpiece.

Most music is just made to be heard to on your way, or while doing stuff. Its made for the background. But that there is the old way music was listened to. A story and feelings.

I hear you. I'm in my 70s, so disregard if you like, but prior generations have discovered that the opposite of lies is sometime not truth, but emotion. Puddles's life-changing perspectives on common themes have many antecedents. Were I your tutor, I would recommend reading (or better, watching) plays by Ionesco (The Bald Soprano), Beckett (Waiting for Godot), Pirandello (Enrico V), Brecht (Three-Penny Opera, The Good Person of Szechwan, many others). But then I'm only just scheduled to outlive the prior millenium. Others, like yourself, will carry on. Fair winds, calm seas.

It's never again being in the backseat of a car big enough to fall asleep in, but having to focus on the road all night and watching every billboard that passes you by. It's a sad clown.

I said I'd try not to geek out. He's doing something called White-Faced clowns. It was made popular by the character Pierrot in the early 1900s. This style of clown used costuming to create a deep jester in the silent medium of film, at the time. Then Bozo came along and took the look and made it into a kids show, Bozo himself though was not the problem as his performance, from what I've studied, was from a good place. However his popularity took the white-faced clown from an emotional character, into the creepy joke we now now.

WOW! I’m just seeing/hearing this & I’m almost speechless. You are truly awesome and I thank you for sharing your gifts with us all!

awsome voice, and love to see that each part of band is just enjoying it. Who would not collab with this awsome vocalist.

Okay I didn't know whether or not I was gonna like this going in. Damn glad I listened to it though, cause I love it. I was hanging on every word till the very last when the words "of silence" were omitted. Just gorgeous, letting the silence speak for for itself. Flawless!

The phenomenal voice that this man has. Who would guess a sad clown could have such a golden voice

Absolutely incredible, Puddles. Speechless.

Every time life kicks my soul,I watch this man sing this song and his raw emotion tells me he's lived it and his hearts been torn from him,I realize He's my brother,no matter how he looks,there's a lesson he's teaching me,live like there's no tomorrow,todays all you need.peace

YES!!! I knew you would end it properly. Much respect.

This is just so beautiful. I look into Puddles' sad, clown eyes and I feel as though I'm looking into a window into my own soul. I was deeply moved by this. Thanks again Puddles.

His voice makes me cry. This is absolutely stunning and life changing music.

Excellent version of a brilliant song...❤love it.

Just wanted to let the musicians know that I really appreciate what they brought to this too.

I'm a little out of the loop and hadn't ever heard of Puddles before yesterday...had just listened to the Disturbed version and saw this in the sidebar...thought it was going to be a parody of some sort....and I was blown away at the voice and intensity...and then went from video to video watching other performances he's done....and I am extremely impressed. Puddles has a real talent. Big thumbs up....Subscribed

HE WON..they just could not put him in the same category with a child vantriloquist and child singer. There needs to be other categories!!! He is soooo amazing, and yes it got him some great exposure but that asshat Simon (in the middle of Puddle's song) rang the big X buzzer!!!! SO RUDE...and Puddles was so confused as to why he was being asked to stop in the middle. It was a travesty. We were only watching crap TV cause Puddles was there in it. Pfft...he WILL BE FAMOUS w/o their money and rudeness!

Gloria Deliciosa one X doesnt stop the performance. All 4 have to be hit to stop it. I didnt like that Simon did that, he would have moved on if not for that (people are sheep. If one judge doesnt like a performance during a live show, chances are slim of that person going through)

Wow - chills! What a hauntingly beautiful voice! Epic!

The vocals are perfect. The mood is accurately conveyed. The ending is genius. Thank you...

How is this perfomance not illegal? I'm in tears.

Warum ist die Version von Disturbed legal? Aus dem gleichen Grund. Nur kann der nicht singen, der Clown hier hat dagegen richtig Talent und eine tolle Stimme.

For the first time in many years all of the voices in my head were quiet, all of the confusion stopped, and I wept, bitter tears of rage and pain, followed by those of acceptance and peace. I cannot express how grateful I am for these 4 minutes of peace you have given me. You have saved a life today, and from the depths of my soul I thank you.

I listen to Yanni to clear out the confusion and clutter in my head. More specifically his Acropolis Live Concert. Headphones on, noise cancelling on, the world around me OFF. Listening to and singling out every instrument, gives me tremendous focus, which applies to my every day life. My gf was abused by her husband for 10years and had insomnia and rampant uncontrollable thoughts and dreams all day...but doing this, clears her head and all those voices go away. Music is so healing AND enlightening. I just wish with all my focus, i could create music, but i create many other things with my gift.

I stayed glued to the screen the entire time. Masterpiece. Wow, just wow.

Wonderful, captivating!

Love his clarity of the lyrics, puddles is awesome

Hello Sir. "The Sound of Silence" has been a part of my soul all through growing up back in the 60's, one of the first songs I learned the words to and used to belt out while I mowed the lawn. I'm rather picky about covers of it, and I just wanted to tell you that your cover is so amazing, so passionate. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your singing with us.

Stumbled across this. I was transfixed by a beautiful song remoulded by such an incredible voice. Thank you.

Dear God this is amazing.

Love this arrangement! The slide guitar, subtle drums, and of course - Puddles incredible voice

Holy crap! Been a long time since any song gave me chills. Your voice gave me goosebumps all the way down my back. Wow, just wow!

Silence sounds of ---- will never be the same! Thank you so much puddles and your band is amazing too
