Back in the day, when I had a good mezzo soprano voice, at the request of the minister, I occasionally sang this piece as a solo in the church where I was the church organist and music director (1972-1975).

This is a song for every generation of a silent or ignored group of people (performed below by Pentatonix)

From this critical analysis of this song, when it was first released:

…The poem can be interpreted as a bitter satire towards the materialistic tendency of the people in the modern world. People have forgotten the real meaning and value of life….The poem presents a frightening picture of the modern world doomed by the lack of spirituality and true meaning of life. It is the voice of a visionary asking such people to be serious towards the true meaning and goal of life.

Today, in the 21st Century, interpretations of the song may differ: the “words of the prophets” are written elsewhere besides “the subway walls and tenement halls” — or may be actions (“people talking without speaking”), both actions and words ignored or twisted by the media.

Consider the entirety of the lyrics HERE, and come to your own interpretation of “The Sound of Silence.”

What is your present-day interpretation? If you care to share it, that is.
