The dark bathroom where Paul Simon wrote ‘The Sound of Silence’
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
The opening line 'Hello darkness, my old friend' wasn't just a metaphor for depression. Paul Simon actually used to sit in his bathroom with the lights entirely off, running the faucet to create white noise while he strummed his guitar. 'The Sound of Silence' was quite literally born out of a bizarre desire to play music on the toilet in the dark.
One discovery leads to another.
