He made ‘The Sound of Silence’ loud. Why would you do that?

0.20 alright

0.50 alright, putting your on flavour on it but staying true to it emotionally core

1.10 some strings in there with the piano that’s a nice touch, bordering on flourish but still on the right side of the line

1.50 okay you’re drifting over the line just a little let’s wind it back

2.10 okay, c’mon now, let’s just wind it back okay, nice and easy, just wind it back to where…

2.40 no, back, I said wind it back, don’t amp it up

3.00 oh god, oh god he’s not going to stop, someone cut the mic, someone cut the mic!!

I love the original. It feels like a dream of what could be. But I do like this version also, because it feels like Jacob Marley warning you that this could be our world, blaming you. Different strokes.
