Wow Johnny and Raphael, this is is a brilliantly rendered rendition of this great classic song. Really strong performances on the guitar and vocals. Way to go!

very moving performance Johnny, my old friend!

Very moving, as it had been for you to have heard him. Well done, Johnny

Beautiful cover 💜 that must have been amazing to see them live. I've always loved this song, brings me back to my parents sittingroom and listening on the old record player, brilliant album!

when I was first introduced to the guitar it was from my roommate in the US Air Force at the old young age of 20. My roommate played the songs of Paul Simon. Later several months later when I finally got the first instrument I ever owned, a classic plastic string Guitar, I bought the songbook of Paul simon. Maybe one of the most famous books of songs possible for me. I worshipped and played so many of his songs until my fingers bled and finally led mo to an understanding of poetry and lyrics that influenced me I'd say more than any other artist in my life. You are so lucky to have seen him live. I was so lucky to have learned to love a guitar and be influenced by such a talent as he. This song has been covered by so many but for all the millions and millions of listens, nothing can replace the feeling of discovering this man's work at that time. I'm happy to see that you gave it a go. You are a great interpretor of so many songs, ...and really in my mind a poet yourself in Simon's vein

Hi Johnny.  I enjoyed your interpretation very much.  Great song for sure.

I went to see Paul Simon in the 3 arena in Dublin as part of his Gracelands tour and whilst the gig was amazing, the song of the night was this one and to me it just proves that all you need with a good song is a guitar and a voice and the lyrics are still so prevalent today as they were back when the song was first written.  Thank you Paul.

The Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel)

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane, I am an Indie songwriter from Ireland. I write, play, produce and distribute my own music. I try to write songs that will mean something to whoever may be listening. I try to express feeling and emotions through my music, I try to hit the heart and soul of whoever may be listening and to pass on my feelings through my lyrics and my music. A lot of the songs I write come from Personal experiences, some are pure imagination, but all try to carry a message of Hope, Fait, understanding and a spiritual message of love. I am just one voice in the wilderness but together we are stronger. Thank you so much for listening to my music. It’s a real honour.
