Why You Need to Listen to Sound of Silence by Disturbed


Sound of Silence. It perhaps sounds simple but the group known as Disturbed has given us an in-depth meaning of  the Sound of Silence.  I know  I am a hugely late talking about this song, but who cares really?



Sound of Silence really touched my heart in a really profound way, and I always get the chills watching the video. The song talks about all the things that are gravely wrong in this world.
the fact that we have left our spirituality and sold our souls to a system we made by ourselves.

Humanity created the 'Neon God' they pray to. It becomes really obvious for one to easily figure out that this system is being driven by men at the echelon of power. The singer went ahead to tell us about how depraved we have become

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening


People writing songs

That voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

A classic case of people becoming zombies and robots being manipulated by Neon God who commands the silence these people are plunged into. Silence so strong that it drowns all explosive sounds in it.

So, if you can spare some time, just watch the video and share your opinion with me.

Do you say 'talk more of' or 'talk less of'? Also, how to pronounce 'parliament'

My beautiful KIB students, today,  you will be happy learning the correct way to express yourselves. Nigerians have a way of changing typical English expressions to suit them. Someone still had to argue with me that the English expression 'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't "  is so wrong and does not make sense.  He opines that angel should be there.  He forgets that English can be quite illogical to our Nigerian minds. Lol. People say things like. 'He has not even proposed talk more of walking down the aisle with me' 'He does not have a car,  talk less a house" Well these two expressions or collocations are not common in British and American English. Here are the universal conventional English collocations for Nigerian English's  'Talk more of' and 'Talk less of',  #LetAlone 'Let alone' is  used to indicate that something is far less likely or suitable than something else already mentioned.
