Sound/s of Silence
This song was originally called Sounds of Silence but Simon and Garfunkel dropped the plural in later recordings. Paul Simon said that he often shut himself in his echoey bathroom, turned out the lights and played his guitar. This was how he got much of his inspiration hence...
'Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again...'
Do you find that you do your best thinking when you're alone in the dark?
Summer Breeze
This song doesn't quite fit in with a lot of my other choices but it has such a positive effect on me that I decided to include it.
'...Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the Jasmine in my mind...'
I don't know how a summer breeze could blow Jasmine in my mind but I love the thought and it always makes me think happy thoughts of warm summer days.
What song does this for you?
There must be lots of S songs that you'd like to have seen here.
