(VIDEO) Celtic Thunder’s Unique Spin on ‘The Sound of Silence’ Will Leave You Speechless

During their tour, two members of the Irish group Celtic Thunder delivered a mesmerizing cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s iconic hit, “The Sound of Silence.”

The gifted young musicians, Colm Keegan and Keith Harkin, brought new life to the song, which was originally made famous by one of the most legendary duos in music history. Simon & Garfunkel were among the top-selling acts of the 1960s and 1970s, and their music continues to be celebrated by both their contemporaries and younger generations today.

“The Sound of Silence” is perhaps one of their most successful and haunting songs, serving as a poignant commentary on societal issues and the direction in which the world was heading.

In the video shared below, Keegan and Harkin deliver a powerful rendition that has captivated audiences. Their performance brilliantly captures the essence and soul of the original, so much so that listeners might momentarily believe they are hearing Simon & Garfunkel themselves.

Celtic Thunder, the group with which they are touring, hails from Dublin, Ireland, and features male singers from both Scotland and Ireland. The band was formed as a tribute to the rich Celtic origins and culture of these two countries.
