Sunday Classics 04.06.2025​

Hey Grayviners!

Last week, we asked for your song suggestions, and you all delivered. This week’s Sunday Classics winner is none other than "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel! A song so hauntingly beautiful, it turned quiet reflection into pure poetry.

Source: YouTube/Simon & Garfunkel​

Originally released in 1964, the song almost faded into silence itself—until a remixed version with electric instruments shot up the charts and made Simon & Garfunkel a household name. Fun fact: Paul Simon wrote it in his bathroom because he liked the acoustics. Talk about making a splash in the music world!

Now it’s your turn! Drop your favorite classic song in the comments, and react to the ones you love. The tune with the most love will be featured in next week’s newsletter!

Cheers!
Blue

My 14 yoa granddaughter seems to have picked up an interest in Elvis. I’m giving her some 45’s that were my Ma’ma’s.
