The song "The Sound of Silence" is a kind of catharsis that is full of a dreamlike mood due to the soothing melody, and when you listen carefully, it seems to tell the helplessness and confusion of young people, a kind of catharsis of groping alone in the dark.
The song itself is a wonderful little poem, structured and relaxed. The lyrics are divided into five paragraphs, and the paragraphs are interlocked and completed in one go. The song begins to tell the story of the singer who came to the dark again to talk to this old friend, and can take the darkness as an old friend to pour out his heart, which shows that he has always been lonely, and there are countless bitterness in his heart that he wants to tell, but he can't find the object to talk about, from the thought expressed in the song, it seems that it is not the first time to talk alone in the dark.
This song is very graphic, creating a boy who seems to be ignorant in front of us, walking alone in a narrow, cold alley paved with cobblestones, the noisy crowd gradually disappearing behind him, in front of the endless long night, listening to the people around him talk about boring topics all day, and his own heartfelt thoughts, but no one pays attention to it, so his heart is full of endless troubles.
"The Sound of Silence" is different from the traditional folk genre, but if it is summarized into the folk genre, the lyrics seem to be a little deep, if with the stirring rhythm, it is summarized into the rock genre, but it is slightly delicate, this musical style of synthesis, according to the current fashion, its music is a cross-border type, in the year of its advent, giving people a refreshing feeling, which may also be an important reason for its great success.
