Sound of Silence [w/ Janessa]

14 April 2010 5 Comments

On Christmas Eve, my sister Janessa (who is also into making music) and I decided to do a cover of a classic Simon & Garfunkel song, Sound of Silence. I remember exactly where I was when I got into this song. I was sitting on the couch of my dorm at BYU (when I was actually there) playing music on my computer while my roommate Dean did something nearby. He was a real stickler for 80’s hair rock like Styx, so it was kind of hard for us to find mutually liked music. But when we landed on The Sound of Silence and we both liked it, well, I guess I just assumed that wasn’t a fluke.

Simon & Garfunkel also have some other really sweet songs like Cecelia or Mrs. Robinson, but this is their most political. It’s very intensely condemning of society and actually doesn’t really fit with anything else they’ve ever done.

    Simon & Garfunkel are the shit. This one has more of a mystical thing to it which is cool.

    An amazing collaboration and Janessa’s voice is so sweet! Biased, maybe, but this is truly a great display of talent!
