Sounds of Silence - Simon and Gartfunkel (1966)

When I first heard this I could not believe that any of the contemporaries could have written such a beautiful song. I mean this is on par with Silent Night and both these songs stir up powerful emotions. But Paul Simon went on to prove that this was no fluke when he penned America and some other lesser ones. I don't think I have heard any other duo bring harmony and song composition to such high standard (Unless you're used to classical music lol). Though later to our loss Paul went off the rails without Art - musically speaking. This song needs no introduction but here it is.
