The Sound of Silence

As a filmmaker ive seen the Graduate as least 2 times, we are not talking about a Classic film, or a Master Piece, but is a "Must" for shure. when this movie hit the screens in 1967 directed by Mike Nochols, was a complete hit, but the most i like about it is the soundtrack of Simon & Garfunkel.
Today, back home from a very snowy and cold Berlin, i turned on the Radio and the sound of silence was playing, i think this was the first time a really paid attention to the powerful Lyrics together with sweets instrumentation, talking about the main problem of society , how people is completly closed to change and listening to each other.

Hello Darkness my Old friend, Ive come to talk with you again...This is the sentence that starts this song written by Paul Simon in 1964, inspired by the JFK assasination.
Now more than 40 years since it was written, still makes sense.
Please listen to the rest, it gets better!!!! .
