Simon & Garfunkel – The Sounds Of Silence
An evening pause: From a recent live performance. I’ve posted this song before, sung by others, but not surprisingly, the best version is still performed by the originals.
I also think of this verse today whenever I read of the insane craziness going on in the political world:
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Art Garfunkel – Bridge Over Troubled Water
An evening pause: From the September 19, 1981 Simon & Garfunkel concert in Central Park.
Hat tip Danae for suggesting the song in this troubling time.
Simon & Garfunkel – American Tune
An evening pause: Performed live in New York, 1981.
I’ve posted a different Paul Simon performance of this song previously, but considering what SpaceX is about to try to do with its first stage, I think it appropriate to post it again. As Simon wrote,
We came on a ship they called the Mayflower
We came on a ship that sailed the moon
We came in the age’s most uncertain hour
And sing an American tune.
