Paul Simon’s "Sounds of Silence" I chose the song "Sounds of Silence" because I admire Paul Simon’s lyrics and I believe this is one of his best songs in terms of its poetic quality. The song is very haunting: its lyrics stir you and leave you feeling as though you’ve heard and witnessed something profound. Though I struggle with trying to understand much of it‚ I enjoy trying it figure it out. An analysis of this song must begin with the very first line. The adress‚ "Hello darkness‚" is an apostrophe

This turns out to be an ironic contrast to life at the Weylin plantation‚ where a slave who visits his wife without his master’s permission
