Beautiful morning to you my Pukumundo family. I’m so excited to be here today with this week's presentation. Today I will be doing a cover of the song Sound of Silence. It was originally sang by Simon & Garfunkel in 1964. Ever since then, lots of people have done the cover of this song and one of the ones that received most recognition is the cover sang by Disturbed. It won a Grammy Award nomination which was worth it. His cover was super amazing. Out of all these covers, the one I love the most is the one sang by Pentatonix. I love their cover so so much with their Acapellas rhythms and music dynamics. The first day I heard it, it was on repeat throughout that day and after. All these while I never knew it belonged to the rock family in terms on genre. Few days ago, as I was surfing the net, I saw it’s genre as "Folk Rock" which sound so cool and so I decided to do a cover of it for this week’s presentation.

I did my cover in Acapella and it wasnt easy singing it cus it sounded a bit too low at the beginning but towards the end, a bit high. That’s due to the progression the Pentatonix made in their cover. I did tried my best though and I hope you enjoy it.

LYRICS

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 streetlamp
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 shared
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
In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

ESPANOL

Hermosa mañana para ustedes mi familia Pukumundo. Estoy muy emocionada de estar aquí hoy con la presentación de esta semana. Hoy haré un cover de la canción Sound of Silence. Originalmente fue cantada por Simon & Garfunkel en 1964. Desde entonces, muchas personas han hecho la versión de esta canción y una de las que recibió más reconocimiento es la versión interpretada por Disturbed. Ganó una nominación al premio Grammy que valió la pena. Su portada fue súper increíble. De todas estas versiones, la que más me gusta es la que canta Pentatonix. Me encanta su cover con sus ritmos de Acapellas y su dinámica musical. El primer día que lo escuché, se repitió a lo largo de ese día y después. Todo esto mientras nunca supe que pertenecía a la familia del rock en términos de género. Hace unos días, mientras navegaba por la red, vi su género como "Folk Rock" que suena tan genial y decidí hacer una versión para la presentación de esta semana.

Hice mi versión en Acapella y no fue fácil cantarla porque sonaba demasiado bajo al principio pero hacia el final, un poco alto. Eso se debe a la progresión que hizo Pentatonix en su portada. Sin embargo, hice lo mejor que pude y espero que lo disfruten.

LETRA

Hola oscuridad mi vieja amiga
he venido a hablar contigo otra vez
Porque una visión que se arrastra suavemente
Dejó sus semillas mientras dormía
Y la visión que fue plantada en mi cerebro
Todavia esta
Dentro del sonido del silencio

En sueños inquietos, caminé solo
Calles estrechas de adoquines
Bajo el halo de una farola
Giré mi cuello hacia el frío y la humedad.
Cuando mis ojos fueron apuñalados por el destello de una luz de neón
Que partió la noche
Y tocó el sonido del silencio

Y en la luz desnuda, vi
Diez mil personas, tal vez más
Gente hablando sin hablar
Gente que escucha sin escuchar
Gente escribiendo canciones que las voces nunca compartieron
nadie se atrevió
Perturbar el sonido del silencio

"Necios", dije yo, "ustedes no saben
El silencio como un cáncer crece
Escucha mis palabras para que pueda enseñarte
Toma mis brazos para que pueda alcanzarte"
Pero mis palabras cayeron como gotas de lluvia silenciosas
Y resonó en los pozos del silencio

Y la gente se inclinó y oró
Para el dios de neón que hicieron
Y el letrero destelló su advertencia
En las palabras que estaba formando
Y el letrero decía: "Las palabras de los profetas están escritas en las paredes del metro
en las casas de vecindad"
Y susurró en los sonidos del silencio
