Lukas Nelson, Son of Country Legend Willie Nelson, Delivers Mesmerizing Cover of ‘The Sound Of Silence’
Back in 1964, Simon & Garfunkel released the iconic song “The Sound Of Silence,” which has since been covered by numerous artists. One notable rendition came from the rock band Disturbed in 2015, gaining significant attention. More recently, the a cappella group Pentatonix released their own version, which quickly soared in popularity. And now, we have the privilege of experiencing an entirely fresh interpretation that you absolutely must not miss.
“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”
Lukas Nelson developed a deep love for music from a young age. Recognizing his passion, he embarked on a journey to transform it into a lifelong career, writing his own songs and mastering the guitar at a tender age.
