“THEY TOOK ONE OF THE MOST UNTUCHABLE SONGS IN HISTORY — AND SOMEHOW MADE PEOPLE SAY IT SOUNDS EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL.” When Celtic Thunder stepped on stage to cover “The Sound of Silence,” it wasn’t just a performance — it was a risk. But the moment Keith Harkin and Colm Keegan began to sing, everything changed. One voice calm and haunting, the other rich and full of emotion — blending so perfectly it gave people chills. The audience didn’t just listen… they froze. Because this wasn’t just a cover — it felt like stepping back into a different era, with a fresh intensity that hit even harder. And that’s why millions have watched it over and over again — some even saying it rivals the original itself

 

The men of Celtic Thunder perform a beautiful rendition of ‘The Sound Of Silence.’ Simon & Garfunkel originally released this song in 1964. Since that time, many artists have lent their voices to the tune.

Today, we’re hearing an entirely new rendition and it’s absolutely amazing. “Hello darkness, my old friend I’ve come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence”
