The Sound of Silence. "The Sound of Silence" is the song that propelled the 1960s folk music duo Simon & Garfunkel to popularity. It was written in February 1964 by Paul Simon in the aftermath of the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy. An initial version preferred by the band was remixed and sweetened, and has become known as "quintessential folk rock release". In the U.S., it was the duo's second most popular hit after "Bridge Over Troubled Water". The song features Simon on acoustic guitar and both singing. It was originally recorded as an acoustic piece for their first album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. in 1964 but on the initiative of the record company's producer, Tom Wilson, it was later overdubbed with drums, electric bass and electric guitar, all without the knowledge or participation of Simon & Garfunkel and rereleased as a single in September 1965. The single reached number one on New Year's Day 1966 and was included in the 1966 album Sounds of Silence. Hello darkness, my old friend, that voices never shared, I've come with talk with you again And no one dared Because a vision softly creeping, To stir the sound of silence left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in Fool, said I, you do not know, my brain, Silence, like a cancer, still remains Grows hear my words and I might Within the sound of silence teach you, take my arms then I might reach you In restless dreams I walked alone, But my words, narrow streets of cobblestone Like silent raindrops fell, Neath the halo of a streetlamp, And echoed in the wells of silence I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the And the people bowed and prayed flash of a neon light, To the neon god they'd made Split the night And the sign flashed its warning And touched the sound of silence In the words that it was forming And the sign said the words of the And in the naked light I saw, prophets ten thousand people, maybe more Are written on the subway walls People talking without speaking, And tenement halls, people hearing without listening And whispered in the sounds of People writing songs silence Bilingüal Proyect.

Heffernan Doctor of Philosophy College of Education December 2010 Title: The Sound of Silence: Educators Managing and Reproducing Heteronormativity in Middle Schools Approved: _______________________________________________ Dr. Jerry Rosiek Recent national studies indicate that well over three quarters of sexual and gender identity minority high school students are subjected to verbal and physical violence related to their gender identity or sexuality. An array of sociological studies has found that adolescents openly acknowledge homophobic justification for past verbal harassment and abuse, and masculinity studies associate this abuse with affirming a normative masculinity. This study seeks to determine what conditions could contribute to the social production of such endemic violence and simultaneously preserve a pervasive silence about its social origins.

“Sounds of Silence”--Simon and Garfunkel (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by Daniel Levitin (Guest Post)*
“Sounds of Silence”--Simon and Garfunkel (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by Daniel Levitin (guest post)* Album cover Label Simon and Garfunkel “Sounds of Silence” is the second studio album by Simon and Garfunkel, and it weaves together threads of their earlier studio album “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.” with Paul Simon's first solo album “The Paul Simon Songbook.” The album was released on January 17, 1966, with recording taking place in 1964 and 1965, years during which the United States was beginning to see growing distrust of government and conventional authority. Young people and members of the counterculture saw in a new breed of singer-songwriter role models, truth-tellers and prophets, and they hung on every word. In the years following this release, Paul Simon became one of the most inventive and highly regarded songwriters of the last 60 years, with a truly international following. But the inclusion of this record in the Library of Congress' National Registry was not because its author became the Paul Simon we know from “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Graceland,” or “Stranger to Stranger,” but because it stands on its own. If Simon and Garfunkel had never made another record, this album would still hold a privileged place in our national hearts and minds. To say that it captured a moment is too pat and too cliché--it captured a generation, it gave voice to the bubbling cauldron of anger, suspicion, loneliness (:in restless dreams I walk alone”) and disconnection (“I am a rock, I am an island”) felt by what would become known as the Woodstock generation.

The City of Silence Week beginning 10th June 2020 Starter Have you ever wondered what it is like in … the mountain of imagination, the castle of doom, the city of wonder, the maze of wishes, the cellar of despair? Well, you are about to find out! In this game, we are going to create our own unique settings by combining places and things. Let’s get started by making a list of places….. Starter: Make a list of places We want generic places, not the actual names of particular places: we want city not London, planet not Jupiter. For example: wood, city, shed, street, station, maze, cellar … One way to sort your places is to put them into categories. This often helps you to think of more ideas as one idea can lead to another and so on. How many can we think of? Water Where people Buildings Outer space live Lake Town Shed Moon River House Supermarket Planet Can you remember the 4 types of nouns? Concrete nouns: the general names for people, places and things that you can see/touch/taste/smell etc. e.g. ball, table, grass, pony, child Proper nouns: Place names, names of people, etc. starting with capital letters e.g. Sarah, Dr Foster, Spain Collective nouns: a word for a group of animals, people or things e.g. gang, swarm, crowd, pair Abstract nouns: something that exists but you cannot see/touch e.g. love, dream, fear, hope Activity: Make a list of abstract nouns Examples: Happy feelings: hope, love, joy, friendship, happiness, Sad feelings: regret, pain, doom, sadness, dread Fantasy: curse, premonition, vision, dream, nightmare,

Apollo: Photo Realist
PHOTO REALIST Alfredo Jaar’s provocative work begins with photography, but rarely ends there. The Chilean- born artist talks to Apollo about the danger of taking images at face value By Robert Barry n Thursday morning, August 25, 1994, I entered the Rubavu Refugee Camp near Gysenyi in Rwanda O as school was about to begin.’ These words, written by Alfredo Jaar, have been laser-cut in a small, sans-serif type into a false wall dividing the lower-ground level at the Goodman Gallery in Mayfair. From behind the partition light streams through the words. ‘As I approached the make-shift school, children gathered around me. I smiled at them and some smiled back. Three children, Nduway- ezu, Dusabe and Umotoni, were seated on the steps in front of the school door. Nduwayezu, five, the oldest of the three, was the only one that looked directly at my camera.’ Nduwayezu was one of countless children orphaned by the Hutu-led genocide of 1994, a massacre thought to have ended somewhere between 500,000 and a million lives. Arriving at Rubavu not long before Jaar’s visit, Ndu- wayezu, one of 37 such orphans at the camp, wouldn’t say a word. He remained mute for four full weeks. ‘I remem- ber his eyes,’ Jaar’s text continues. ‘And I will never forget his silence.’ Behind the partition, a table 18-foot long and 12-foot wide is piled high with a million photographic slides. Each slide is identical: the eyes of Nduwayezu staring back at us, the eyes that met Jaar’s camera lens in 1994 and that have haunted him ever since.
