The Sounds 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 street lamp
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 shared
No one dared
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 sound of silence"

"The Sounds of Silence" é uma canção folk music que impulsionou a dupla folk, Simon & Garfunkel, a popularidade na década de 1960. Foi escrita em fevereiro de 1964 pelo cantor e compositor Paul Simon na sequência do assassinato de John F. Kennedy em 1963.[1] Uma versão inicial preferida pela banda foi remixada e adoçada, e tornou-se conhecida como "lançamento quintessencial do folk rock".[2]
A canção apresenta Simon na guitarra acústica e ambos cantando. Ela foi originalmente gravada como uma parte acústica para seu primeiro álbum Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. em 1964, mas por iniciativa do produtor da gravadora, Tom Wilson, que mais tarde foi sobreposta com tambores (Bobby Gregg), baixo elétrico (Bob Bushnell) e guitarra (Al Gorgoni), tudo sem o conhecimento ou a participação de Simon & Garfunkel e relançado como single em setembro de 1965.[3][4] O single atingiu número um no dia de Ano Novo de 1966 e foi incluída no álbum de 1966, Sounds of Silence.
"The Sound of Silence" foi originalmente chamado "The Sounds of Silence" e é intitulado dessa forma no primeiros álbuns em que apareceu e no lançamento do primeiro single; apenas em compilações mais tarde seria renomeado "The Sound of Silence". Tanto no singular como no plural aparecem nas letras.
A música, além de ter sido o primeiro grande sucesso da dupla, tornou-se também célebre como parte da trilha sonora do filme The Graduate, de 1968 e também do filme Watchmen lançado em 2009. A canção também é usada como introdução na turnê 'Nightmare After Christmas da banda Avenged Sevenfold.
O sexteto inglês The Kings Singers fizeram uma gravação desta música muito bela, intensificando os sentimentos que Paul Simon quis exprimir ao escrever esta música.

Help!
Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know I need someone, help!
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in anyway
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so Insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in anyway
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me, help me, help me, oh
Help! é o quinto álbum do grupo The Beatles, que teve também um lançamento simultâneo de um filme com mesmo nome.
Lançado em agosto de 1965, no auge da beatlemania e das turnês do grupo, o álbum reflete algumas mudanças na música dos fab-four. Temos Lennon compondo ao estilo de Bob Dylan em "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away", a candidez de Harrison em "I Need You". Além do sucesso de "Ticket To Ride" e da música "Help" o álbum ainda têm uma preciosidade: a música "Yesterday", nada menos que a canção mais regravada na história da música.

When I Need You
When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out, but hold out and do like I do
When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
Oh I need you
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away.

When I Need You
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"When I Need You" is a popular song written by Albert Hammond and Carole Bayer Sager. It was first recorded by Hammond on his 1976 album When I Need You. Produced by Richard Perry, Leo Sayer's version made number 1 on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in February 1977 after three of his earlier singles had stalled at number 2. A massive hit worldwide, it reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a single week in May 1977;[1] the song also went to number 1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks.[2] He performed it on the second show of the third season of The Muppet Show.

THE MELODY COMPARISON
The melody of the "hook" line, or chorus of "When I Need You" is identical to the part of the Leonard Cohen song "Famous Blue Raincoat," where the lyrics are as follows: "Jane came by with a lock of your hair, she said that you gave it to her that night that you planned to go clear." The melody of these lyrics matches the lyrics of "When I Need You" as follows: "(When I) need you, I just close my eyes and I'm with you, and all that I so want to give you, is only a heart beat away."
In a 2006 interview with the Globe & Mail Cohen said:
I once had that nicking happen with Leo Sayer. Do you remember that song 'When I Need You'?" Cohen sings the chorus of Sayer's number one hit from 1977, then segues into 'And Jane came by with a lock of your hair,' a lyric from 'Famous Blue Raincoat'. 'Somebody sued them on my behalf … and they did settle,' even though, he laughs, 'they hired a musicologist who said that particular motif was in the public domain and, in fact, could be traced back as far as Schubert.[3]
The same melody can be heard in Elton John's "Little Jeannie" in the lyrics: "Stepped into my life from a bad dream / Making the life that I had seem / Suddenly shiny and new"
Céline Dion version
"When I Need You" is a promotional single from Céline Dion's Let's Talk About Love album, released on September 7, 1998 in Brazil only.[4]
After Céline Dion finished her Falling into You Tour in June 1997, she began to record her next English album. Dion and her manager and husband René Angélil wanted to include few cover versions on it. David Foster came up with the idea of recording Leo Sayer's hit "When I Need You." The song, recorded at Paramount Studios and Chartmaker Studios, was produced by Foster and included on Dion's Let's Talk About Love album, released on November 15, 1997. Céline Dion performed this song during the Let's Talk About Love avec Julie SnyderCanadian TV show in late 1997.
After a string of successful singles like "My Heart Will Go On" and "Immortality," Sony Music Entertainment decided to release "When I Need You" as a promotional single in Brazil (September 1998). Two previous singles were very successful in Brazil. However, with no music video and no promotion "When I Need You" failed to repeat the success of Dion's earlier songs.
Authors of "When I Need You" worked with Dion also on several other songs. Albert Hammond wrote "Just Walk Away," included on The Colour of My Love album (1993) and Carole Bayer Sager wrote "The Prayer," which became a part of These Are Special Times (1998).[e]

"I Need You" is a song by The Beatles and appears on the album Help!. It is the second George Harrison song the band released[2] after two albums without any songwriting contribution from Harrison.

[EDIT]COMPOSITION AND RECORDING
The song, simple in arrangement, was recorded on 15 and 16 February 1965.[3] It is often considered to address Harrison's relationship withPattie Boyd, whom he had met in March 1964 while filming A Hard Day's Night[2] (they married in January 1966).[4]
The recording's distinctive lead guitar cadences, achieved by Harrison's first recorded use of a volume pedal,[2][3] are based on common guitar suspended chords in the key of A, forming the introduction and most of the verse of the song and giving a quasi-modal effect that is relieved in the verse by a line in the relative minor (with a simple backing harmony from Lennon and McCartney), the whole making a fourteen-bar ternary verse-structure. This, after a repeat, segues easily into a second, bridge melody that introduces a cowbell for contrast and is based on a simple IV-V-I chord progression that passes through the dominant key to resolve back on the verse.[1] Many such aspects of the song are developed in Harrison's song "If I Needed Someone" on the group's next album, Rubber Soul.
§ George Harrison – double-tracked vocal, lead guitar with Volume Pedal (1961 Fender Stratocaster)
§ John Lennon – harmony vocal, nylon-string acoustic rhythm guitar
§ Paul McCartney – harmony vocal, bass
§ Ringo Starr – drums, cowbell
