Title: The Sound of Silence Which version of “the Sound of Silence” did you like the best-the poem‚ the old Simon and Garfunkel version‚ or the newer version by Disturbed? Why? I like the newer musical version redone by the group called Disturbed. Because the lyrics have a modern twist‚ and the words are very clear somewhat haunting.
