Simon and Garfunkel—The Sound of Silence: A Simple Melody with Vague Content, Expressing Different Meanings in Different Film Scenes
摘要
The song discussed in this chapter is from a similar era to “California Dreamin’” as explored in the previous chapter, and is also from the United States: “The Sound of Silence.” It can be said that they were born in similar social circumstances. To some extent, they are products of the 1960s. It is difficult to analyse their meanings without discussing the context of the country of origin. Especially seeing as the 1960s was a significant period in the course of American history.
