I've posted a version of this song before, and may well do so again in the future. Paul Simon adapted a piece by Bach around the time US involvement in the Vietnam War was coming to an end and Watergate was starting to heat up. Here he performs it on the BBC a couple of years later with strings. The subtitles in Asian orthography (sorry, I can't tell what language) are a nice reminder that YouTube, as a part of the World Wide Web, does indeed cover the whole wide world. And the last ninety seconds feature Toots Thielemans and Richard Tee doing "Sounds of Silence," and where else are you going to hear that?
