there are many alludes to Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sounds of Silence," such as the song's recurring phrase "And the people bowed and prayed." "The Sounds of Silence" is a song that Paul Simon himself refers to as "a societal view of the lack of communication." Maybe this interpretation could be applied to "All Delighted People?" I'm not sure if that would be an entirely true reflection for this song particularly; I personally see it as a unifying piece, one that presents the potential for love to rise above all and one that promotes equality. Either way, both compositions are lovely.
