The Holderness Family 'Sound of Silence' Parody Perfectly Sums Up The Kids' Return To School
September 13, 2021

Parents everywhere can have a good laugh with this Holderness Family 'Sound of Silence' parody. In it, Penn Holderness hilariously sings about what it's like as the kids prepare for another school year!
As excited as parents are for their kids to start a brand new school year and learn brand new stuff, they’re just as excited, if not more, to finally have some peace and quiet around the house. Noisy summers are completely normal for most families. But almost the entire 2020-2021 school year had students learning remotely.

First graders on computers in a video call? Should they already have a collection of business attire for these meetings?! Kids asking parents questions about long division? That information was discarded a long time ago!
It seems like forever ago when families didn’t have to be stuck in the same house all the time. Everyone at home means ALL of the noise. That’s why parents had their hopes up for the new school year. The COVID cases down meant things might return to normal — until the corona variants popped up.
The fear of remote learning returned. Will parents ever have the sound of silence in their houses again?! Penn Holderness sang about all of these worries and fears in one of his recent parodies.
Holderness Family 'Sound Of Silence' Voices Parents' Concerns
The original ‘Sound of Silence’ was released in 1964 by Simon & Garfunkel. That acoustic version basically failed along with the rest of their debut album. Out of nowhere a year later, the song’s popularity grew. The producer remixed the song with electrical instruments, boosting it to the top of the charts.
Now, the lyrics are recognizable to people of almost all ages, and the dramatic lyrics provide the perfect setup for parodies!
Here are some of Penn’s hilarious lyrics.
"We’re getting nervous over here,
It may be kind of like last year.
And now the school’s administration,
May have to make a tough decision."
Thanks for the laughs, Holderness Family! We pray that along with these laughs, kids can safely return to school and continue their learning in person like they used to.

Christlike welcome of others is what Scripture calls us to do, not because we must as a checklist obligation, but because doing so reflects the heart of our Savior who lovingly bids us to come to Him despite our brokenness and sin.
