Fue escrita el 19 de febrero de 1964 por Paul Simon, tras el asesinato de John F. Kennedy el 22 de noviembre del anterior año, como un intento de expresar el sentimiento popular tras el desafortunado suceso.

The Sound of Silence

Disturbed
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 street lamp
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 share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my…

También de Simon&Garfunkel, una de mis canciones favoritas de ellos.




The only living boy in New York

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know your part'll go fine.
Fly down to Mexico.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,
The only living boy in New York.
I get the news I need on the weather report.
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am
The only living boy in New York
Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know where.

En este foro vienes a aprender muchacho.

Ay que recuerdos, Young Girl, me encanta, no sabía tampoco ni quién la cantaba

Analizando la letra de esa canción, creo que se trata de una menor de edad que le mintió a un hombre, y luego él descubrió la verdad.

1968 Barry Ryan. Eloise





Every night i'm there,
i'm always there, she knows i'm there,
and heaven knows, i hope she goes.
i find it hard to realize that love was in her eyes,
it's dying now, she knows i'm crying now,
and every night i'm there, i break my heart to please
eloise, eloise.
you know i'm on my knees, yeah, i said please.
you're all i want so hear my prayer, my prayer.
My eloise is like the stars that please the night,
the sun that makes the day, that lights the way.
and when my star goes by, i'll hold it in my hands and cry,
her love is mine, my sun will shine.
every night i'm there i break my heart to please
eloise, eloise.

you're all i want, you gotta hear my prayer.
My eloise, i'd love to please her,
i'd love to care, but she's not there.
and when i find you, i'd be so kind,
you'd want to stay, i know you'd stay.
And as the days grow old, the nights grow cold,
i wanna hold her near to me, i know she's dear to me.
and only time can tell and take away this lonely hell,
i'm on my knees to eloise.
and every night i'm there, i break my heart to please
eloise, eloise.
you are my life so hear my prayer.
you are the price, i know you're there.
you're all i want so hear my prayer.
you're all i need and i'm not there,
you know i'm not there.

Black Is Black 
Los Bravos 

Black is black 
I want my baby back 
It's gray, it's gray 
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh 
What can I do 
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue 

If I had my way 
She'd be back today 
But she don't intend 
To see me again, Ooh-Ooh 
What can I do 
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue 

I can't choose 
It's too much to lose 
My love's too strong 
Wow! Maybe if she 
would come back to me 
Then it can't go wrong 

Bad is bad 
That I feel so sad 
It's time, it's time 
That I found peace of mind, Ooh-Ooh 
What can I do 
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue 

I can't choose 
It's too much to lose 
My love's too strong 
Wow! Maybe if she 
would come back to me 
Then it can't go wrong 

Black is black 
I want my baby back 
It's gray, it's gray 
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh 
What can I do 
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue 
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue

Love me two times baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times girl
I'm goin' away
Love me two times girl
One for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times I'm goin' away

Love me one time
Could not speak
Love me one time
Yeah, my knees got weak
Love me two times girl
Last me all through the week
Love me two times I'm goin' away

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you

Try to set the night on fire

Try to set the night on fire

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown

Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road

His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride

Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah
Girl, ya gotta love your man
Girl, ya gotta love your man

Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end

Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm

Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
