Chris Herstad CarneyGUEST
In terms of personality and neuroses, loads, but I inherited physical assets, very, very, very little from him.
Chris Herstad CarneyGUEST
But one thing I did get was his copy of The Sound of Silence.
Chris Herstad CarneyGUEST
I realized that I had it for like two years and not actually taking it out of the sleeve.

And art is just as captivated by these new songs that Paul's writing as Paul is by Dylan and Baez.
Shaun PonsonbyHOST
One of the songs he writes in this time is in the aftermath of JFK's assassination.
Shaun PonsonbyHOST
And it's a pivotal song for him, for art, for the mood of the 60s, and it's the sound of silence.

He is just about 22 when he writes it.

I'll let it pass on Neil Diamond.
MikeHOST
It wasn't Sounds of Silence, so I'll give it that.

SamHOST
Name that, Simon and Garfunkel classic.
SamHOST
Sharing its name with the silence of the lambs, we have the sound of silence.
SamHOST
All right, number three.
SamHOST
Speaking of metal bands, this 1991 Metallica song, which inspired two sequels, begins with the lyrics, new blood joins this earth.
Stephen StanleyGUEST
So yes, it was intimidating immediately, even not knowing the history of all that.
Stephen StanleyGUEST
But I'd heard Sound of Silence and maybe a few others on that record.
Stephen StanleyGUEST
But yeah, that was probably the hardest song to sing as well.
Stephen StanleyGUEST
