Tenement halls

[Magaret]

Known for its lyric out of [Simon and Garfunkels]: [The sounds of silence], tenement halls are rooms or sets of separate residences in housing complexes and apartments. Specifically [rundown], overcrowded and low income apartments.

Thank you

I'm obsessed with this song right now. Even though I've known it for 30 years. It just keeps coming into my brain

[Guest]

I agree-it's beyond scary.

[Guest]

Have you heard the Sounds of Silence by Disturbed on YouTube. I cant stop listening to it.

[Guest]

Although I love the original version by Simon and garfunkle. . The version sung by disturbed is a million times better. ..

[Guest]

I must break the silence . This song saved my sanity after experiencing
A close uncounted of the 3rd kind .Its very meaningful and magical and is truthful in its statements. The silent light { UFO } that split the night was prophasized minutes before it slipped out of the Eastern night sky....... August 23rd 1999 it was wonderfully freaky and changed my life.

The original is the best, DIsturbed version is excellent and Pentatonix interpretation is really good as well.

[Guest]

Agree! Better, much better!

[Guest]

Listen to Mythology version on YouTube, best ever!

Call me old, I am...
Disturbed's version, while good, even great, is hardly better than the original. On its own without the video I feel it does stand up very well to the original but the accompanying video is about as meaningless to the lyrics as one might have imagined!
Talk about disconnected and going against the very words the song it's trying to communicate!
Perhaps if the walking guy were in New York on a wintry night, in the crappy part of town, it might have been better, for that is far closer to the imagery of the lyrics. People not caring about others, shouting down those who oppose their opinions, the loneliness one might feel in such an environment.
New York has always been famous as a town where people are known to be uncaring.
As S&G sing in another song, "still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregard the rest"
The Boxer-
it's a theme that runs through much of their lyrics.

Disturbeds version simply made it clear, he sang so that we would listen and try to understand. Simons

[Guest]

People talking without speaking.?..texting......bowing to the neon signs they made.,,...big tech......almost like talking about 2021

[Guest]

I can't stop listening to it either.

[Guest]

Mee tooo all of a sudden

[Guest]

I don't blame you.. Same here. The messege, once you get it, is unstoppable.

[Guest]

Thats

[Guest]

Same here too!! Mine (version) comes from tiktok, you should listen to this Angel's voice called Malinda... it's most likely a message from Heaven

[Guest]

Me too. Can't stop watching Disturbed's version on Youtube for last couple of weeks. Suddenly last night had a revelation and realized the amazing prophecy Paul Simon has written in 1964 for us today in 2021! Don't ever allow to be silenced by the "neon gods" of this world in these times!

[Guest]

I can't get enough of the version of Disturbed. Goosebumps everytime.
