Peter Hollens And Tim Foust Sing A Cappella 'The Sound Of Silence' - Staff Picks

A cappella voice Peter Hollens joins forces with Tim Foust for a hauntingly 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. One of the most well known covers comes from the rock band, Disturbed, in 2015.

Recently, a cappella sensations Pentatonix released their own version and it skyrocketed in popularity. Today, we’re hearing another a cappella performance and it might be the best yet.

“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”

Peter Hollens is known all over the Internet for his talented covers and unique musical arrangements.

Today, Tim Foust, of HomeFree, joins Peter for a performance like no other. Their duet of ‘The Sound Of Silence’ is beyond amazing.

When you perform a cappella, every sound that you hear comes from a human voice. There are no instruments or background music. That is what makes this performance even more incredible. It takes so much time and practice to perfect these difficult arrangements, but this duo pulls it off flawlessly.

These two voices compliment each other perfectly to create a new and unique sound. I see a lot more collaborations from Peter and Tim in the future. What did you think of their rendition of ‘The Sound Of Silence?’
