Sound Of Silence: Task #19

Hey everyone! Misty here. . so since i haven't posted in a while I decided to do one of the tasks from the Scavenger Hunt Challenge brought to us by the awesome Small Council. I only have time for one at the moment though so ofcourse I just had to pick something easy :sweat_smile: .

So I'm gonna stop with the introduction and get to the task.

TASK #19

Pick a Song. Any Song.

Basically we choose a song for a certain event or character in ASOIAF and so obviously I had to pick Arya Stark for obvious reasons. And the song I picked as her theme song is a Simon and Garfunkel's classic. The song is all about being alone amidst bein in a crowd with people who don't really care.

I love how dark and gloomy they made the song and maybe a bit chilling too. And i think its kinda perfect for Arya. Wanting to be heard but noone would listen. With everyone caring only for one thing and nothing else. Their oh so called god which can come in any form. The throne, the realm. . the red god. . the many faced. . the old. . .

If you're a bit doubtful about it, below is the lyrics to the song so you can decide for yourself as well.

"The Sound Of Silence"

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

×××××

×××××

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

‘Neath the halo of a streetlamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence

×××××

×××××

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

No one dare

Disturb the sound of silence

×××××

×××××

“Fools” said I, “You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you”

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said “The words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls

And whispered in the sounds of silence”

**It ends here**
