《寂静之声》（The Sound Of Silence》在1967年作为美国电影《毕业生》的主题歌。这首歌，像一面旗帜，对处于情感困惑的年轻一代产生了深远的影响。其旋律与歌词蕴含的哲思跨越时代，至今仍被广泛传唱与演绎。轻捻光阴点点，细数岁月绵绵，时光，不声不响的轮回，生命，不休不止的往来。那些光华流转，都镌刻在记忆里，终归，随风逝，最后，便只剩一抹静止的回忆，定格成一曲寂静之声。
《The Sound of Silence》由 西蒙和加芬克尔（Simon & Garfunkel） 演唱，成员包括创作歌手保罗・西蒙（Paul Simon）和阿特・加芬克尔（Art Garfunkel）。
二人在 1957 年以 “汤姆与杰瑞” 的组合出道，已小有名气。1965 年，二人将组合名字改为 “西蒙和加芬克尔”，并凭借《The Sound of Silence》迅速走红。他们最突出的特色是动人的和声，多次荣获格莱美奖，1990 年入驻摇滚名人堂。除了《The Sound of Silence》外，他们还有《我是一块岩石》《斯卡布罗集市》《忧愁河上的桥》等热门单曲。
Hello darkness my old friend
l’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
left its seeds while I was sleeping
that was planted in my brain
within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
narrow streets of cobblestone
Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night and touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
people hearing without listening
No one dare disturb the sound of silence
Fools said I you do not know silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
in the words that it was forming
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
and whispered in the sounds of silence
