每首歌的背後都有一段故事,邀您共同分享生命背後的點滴。

Sound of Silence 

Hello darkness, my old friend, 
Ive 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 whisperd in the sounds of silence.

這首歌 從電影"畢業生"聽來的 當然這也是小時候和姐姐的回憶之一
一直覺得這首歌好好聽 卻一直聽不太懂歌詞的涵義
一直到昨天 中午午休聽著西洋經典電影老歌精選 乍聽到此曲
馬上醒來 搜尋這首歌 順帶的連60年代的歌手一併查詢
Tom and Jerry & Bob Dylan  & Beatles

那個年代 是個迷失充滿離徑叛道的一個 很酷的時代

當我想起姐姐買的畢業生的電影原聲CD

台南 炎熱的夏季裡 聽著The Sound of Silence 那個剛上國中的我

正在猶豫要不要轉學到台南跟著姐姐一起念書 

不喜歡聯考 更討厭被逼著念書 念著一堆討厭的教科書

叛逆的影子 對這個社會的運作充滿著許多的不服從

好多的問號無從說起 然而社會卻依舊如此運作著

越長大越無感 似乎那個赤子之心的靈魂被壓縮在心底最底層

聽到這首歌 有一種被喚醒的鈴聲 在心底發酵

平安夜 沉默的夜
