由保罗·西蒙创作的一首歌曲名字,这首歌也曾作为电影《毕业生》的插曲和片尾曲,这首歌作为历史上最经典的音乐之一,打动了全世界亿万人的心灵,传唱至今久久不息。
歌曲简介:
60年代对美国而言是个多事之秋,历经了一连串的动荡与不安。对内,反种族歧视民权意识高涨;对外背负著“越战”沉重的包袱。
内忧外患之际,美国人的精神领袖约翰·肯尼迪(John F.Kennedy)总统于1963年11月22日在德州的达拉斯遇刺身亡,举世震惊,全国悲恸。
由黑人人权领袖马丁路德金博士(Martin Luther King Jr.)所领导的反暴力反种族歧视正如火如荼的展开,国内反越战的声音也日益壮大。
美国人民的梦在肯尼迪总统倒下的一刻,也跟著粉碎了!
就在这样的时空背景下,美国的民谣歌手保罗·西蒙(Paul Simon)创作了这首家喻户晓、发人深省的歌曲:寂静之声(The Sound Of Silence),献给了动荡的60年代。
只可惜这样一首针砭时弊的好歌,于1964年发行时,却得不到青睐,人们依旧是听而不闻(hearing without listening) 。
若非一位DJ特别钟爱这首歌,增加这首歌在电台播放的频率,哥伦比亚唱片公司也不会考虑将这首歌重新编曲,以单曲发行。然而冥冥中似乎注定,才华洋溢如保罗赛门是不该被时代埋没的。
于是史上最优美的二重唱西蒙与加丰科(Simon & Garfunkel)便在这首重新编曲的《寂静之声》中浴火重生。
