Which song begins with the lyrics "Hello darkness, my old friend..."?

• Bohemian Rhapsody
• Imagine
• Like A Rolling Stone
• The Sound of Silence

"The Sound of Silence" (originally "The Sounds of Silence") is a song by the American music duo Simon & Garfunkel, written by Paul Simon. Generally considered a classic folk rock song, the song was added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" in 2012, along with the rest of the Sounds of Silence album. Simon wrote "The Sound of Silence" when he was 21 years old, later explaining that the song was written in his bathroom, where he turned off the lights to better concentrate. "I used to go off in the bathroom because the bathroom had tiles, so it was a slight echo chamber. I'd turn on the faucet so that water would run (I like that sound, it's very soothing to me) and I'd play. In the dark. 'Hello darkness, my old friend / I've come to talk with you again.'"

What is the name of a part of a song that is repeated after each verse?

• Chorus
• Solo
• Elision
• Lick

The chorus or refrain is the element of the song that repeats at least once both musically and lyrically. It is always of greater musical and emotional intensity than the verse. "The chorus, which gets its name from a usual thickening of texture from the addition of backing vocals, is always a discrete section that nearly always prolongs the tonic and carries an unvaried poetic text." In terms of narrative, the chorus conveys the main message or theme of the song. Normally the most memorable element of the song for listeners, the chorus usually contains the hook.

What song is often said to have the right rhythm for CPR?

• Can't Help Falling in Love
• When a Man Loves a Woman
• My Heart Will Go On
• Stayin' Alive

Performing CPR is hard. In a life-or-death situation, most of us struggle just to keep our composure. That's why when you attend a CPR course, the rhythm of chest compressions is drummed into your head. Anyone who's taken a CPR class has heard that The Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" is the perfect song for hitting the 100-120 beats per minute required for ideal chest compressions. This repetition, this biennial education, saves lives.
