I'm sorry about not naming the song right. It was covered by DISTURBED.The title was Sound of Silence.I listened to it again and it still sounds like some of P's spirital songs.Just like today people not listening and not understanding other peoples feelings.Maybe I'm hearing something that's not there,if so I'm sorry for posting this.

The space bar, spacebar, space, blank, or space key,[1] is a key on a typewriter or alphanumeric keyboard in the form of a horizontal bar in the lowermost row, significantly wider than other keys. Its main purpose is to conveniently enter a space, e.g, between words during typing.

A typical space bar key is very large, enough so that a thumb from either hand can use it, and is almost always found on the bottom row of standard keyboard layouts.


Originally (on early writers dating back to the late 19th century) the "bar" was literally a metal bar running across the full width of the keyboard (or even wider, and even surrounding it) that triggered the carriage advance without also firing any of the typebars towards the platen. Later examples gradually shrank and developed into their current more ergonomic form as a wide, centrally located but otherwise apparently normal "key", as typewriter (and computer) keyboards began to incorporate additional function keys and were more deliberately "styled". Although it varies by keyboard type, the space bar usually lies between the Alt keys (or Command keys on Macintosh keyboards) and below the letter keys: C, V, B, N and M on a standard QWERTY keyboard.


Some early typewriter and particularly computer keyboards used a different method of inserting spaces, typically a smaller, less distinct "space" key which was also often set in a less central position, e.g. the Hansen Writing Ball, Hammond typewriters or the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Jupiter Ace ranges. The earliest known example, Sholes and Glidden typewriter used a lever to provide space between words,[2] placing the invention of the inset spacebar after 1843. However these methods were also usually just one part of similarly idiosyncratic full keyboard layouts, designed more to cope with particular technical requirements or limitations than with any sense of user friendliness and as such met with limited success, sometimes being dropped even on later models in the same line (e.g. Sinclair Spectrum 128k and "Plus" lines, which adopted more "normally styled" keyboards with plastic keytops and a wide, central spacebar in place of the earlier rubber "chiclet" keys and small, offset space key).

You mean to tell me you know what technological devices people use on here?

Don't laugh at me, but I was surprised to see a typewriter for the first time. I was only told about typewriters but never saw one. But when I had to move out my grandmother and great aunt, I saw an authentic telephone (from the 40's) and a Sinclair typewriter.

Are you talking about the Simon and Garfunkel version or the band who covered the song, Disturbed's, version? Which song did you listen to?

Can you name some of the songs Prince wrote that sounds like "Sound of Silence" and why?

Ugh. That Sound of Silence cover is disturbing. It sounds like a bad Scott Stapp imitator.
Anything Prince did similar to that, would have sounded like Art Garfunkel's soaring and musical voice on the original.
Not like that.
.
And yes, even on my phone the space bar is that big thing at the center bottom.

S
The Simon and Garfunkle is the one I listened to first and then the other one and yes the first one is so much like Prince.Very emotional...just like Compassion and others he sang.The other by Distured is very dark...not showing any hope for anyone.P always sang about love for all people.He would tell everyone to love God and everything would be alright.
Love for the past and hope for future!!!
