One of my Two favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs..
The other one is Bridge over troubled waters..
Jesus is my Bridge over troubled waters
Nice. I like The Sound Of Silence because the lyrics almost seem to be describing snippets from the Book of Revelation.
"...And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made..." could be describing people worshiping the Image of the Beast for example, among other similarities.
Yes.. To me The Sound Of Silence is about the falling away of society into darkness.. Lots of similar symbolic images that we see in the book of revelation..
Good morning, reneweddaybyday, you beat me to it! I have been thinking of this song and band for days now, for this thread... much of their music is from the eighties, since they formed in 1978, and I went to see them in the early eighties also. I think it was Pete Townsend's younger brother Simon who opened for them. I remember thinking how tight the band (Pretenders) was. So professional. I may have gotten that impression because they played in a smaller venue as opposed to being in some cavernous space where the performers are tiny specks you can hardly see on a stage way far away LOL. I have a bit of a funny story associated with this song also. Back in the late seventies I had just arrived in Vancouver and got a job right away at a lab where I worked for five years before starting at the lab where I still am today. I worked with this one woman who had some quirks (who doesn't?
) and she used to ask me when this song played, What does she mean, she is going to use her fingers??? Haha I used to tell her I had no idea, and truly, I did not know what Chrissy meant with that line 
Just that she was going to do all she could no matter what it took 
Another band from the late seventies that I saw in concert shortly after arriving on the west coast was Heart. When looking it up, I see that Loverboy, Blue Oyster Cult, Ted Nugent, and The Rockets were all on the same bill
Anywho, before I left my home town/province, Heart took us by storm with their superior musicianship and powerful vocals, and their songs were a favourite for my friends and I to play together
