    Thanks to S & G for writing and recording this classic over 50 years ago, allowing Disturbed, Pentatonix and others to re-interpret the meaning.......a warning against an increasingly detached, unfeeling, cold society.......maybe more relevant today than in the 1960's.......

  • @KurtRoesener
    @KurtRoesener Месяц назад +1

    Greetings Mom and Daughter, You hit the nail on the head, with your synopsis.
    The original version for me, is a gentle warning of Not hearing and not speaking anything of context or related to anyone except yourself, and to open your eyes and really pay attention to the world around you. Then, Disturbed’s version, is in reaction to the Original not being heeded after 50 plus years. This version starts out, for me internally screaming into the Void, in response to the lack of anything changing after mankind is still in the same rut and wearing blinders. David’s Awesome song-craft, gradually intensifies with each chorus, really trying to wake the listener up, shake them up and feel what he is feeling with him! The steps up in volume and intensity continue to try to break down your own brick walls by getting in your face. To describe his voice’s tonal impact, it starts as Velvet, then becomes like Sandpaper, then migrates to full “Sponge Ruiner’ [e.g. think, washing a Cheese grater with a sponge] mode!
    Then finally he softens seeing the light turn on in your eyes, hoping almost knowing you’ll continue to enlighten others.

    Not many people realized he had such a beautiful voice until this song...when you could actually hear his voice...lol...as most of their songs are so aggressive. Draiman...one of the best male vocalists on the planet. When he sings....you know who it is. He can go from angelic head voice to rasp/distortion on a dime and back....not easy to do. Also did you notice he can put vibrato on the rasp too? VERY difficult to do. You both had a great take on it.

      I'll agree to disagree but still, can appreciate your opinion. I don't think he (or they) holds a candle to the beauty of Simon and Garfunkel's version, and I guess that means a LOT of people will be coming after me pretty soon. Kind of feels though, like I just stuck my hand in a hornets' nest. However, what I see in the comments (here) is a WAVE of people who must have heard this version first, which I think explains why they like this one so much over the original.

      Now, I have to say, I am not as fond of the "acoustic only" or "in the park" versions of the S&G version as I am of the remixed one from the 2nd album (with the amped guitar and drums), but I think all 3 version are better than this one. I realize this is just my opinion, and that doesn't carry any weight with anyone else, but everybody's got one, it's mine, and I own it 😊😎.

Then the lip pull to control the face, the little gulp then the tight lip close when he meets the neon lights. I knew she had to stop before she did XD and with good reason too. Can easily bring you to tears if you arent prepared

      100% my take on the daughter also. I swear she was about to burst into tears. It hit her good. She went to that place.......

    It's appropriate that this song came out now. When written, it was ahead of it's time. It was almost a prophesy of what was to come. Pay attention.

    Best way I EVER heard it put.
    Simon and Garfunkels version was a warning of how this could end up without heeding their warning.
    Disturbeds is a wakeup call and a angry yell that the warning was not listened to.

    this song has momentum that is just as important as the music and lyrics, and should be viewed and listened to uninterrupted, IMO.

    This cover shows how different a song can be with the the right talented artist performing it. This is one of my most favorite covers I have ever heard. And the video portrays the message so well.

    Well said lady's. You've hit the nail right on his head. You understand the meaning of the song/message.

    The first time I heard this song I was lounging on the couch with my earpods in just listening to Pandora on shuffle. I was more asleep than awake. Then this song came on. Imagine me in stages going from sleepy, to sitting up, to by the end of the song just standing in the middle ofbthe room with my mouth on the floor. Still gives me chills each time I hear it.

    I've watched soooo many reaction videos for this video. The daughter looked like she was going to tear up a little. That's how I feel listening to this version and watching other people's reactions to it. I love this band and David has such an awesome voice.

    Paul Simon personally contacted the lead singer David to endorse this cover. It's often said the original the older generation warning us and this version is the current generation, angry that the warnings were not followed. A masterpiece

    Technically it's a powerful rendition but Disturbed's version is...disturbed. I felt the heaviness of the lyrics and this just gave me that feeling of hopelessness. The end where he sounded defiant and urging people to march. Stirring but lacked something to uplift the listener. Sometimes as Andy Williams described S&G " You can't help but be mesmerized by just their voices and a guitar. " While I get some people will get a different experience and love this version. Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence just gives me a sense of hope at the end.

    Simon and Garfunkel's version was an observation and Disturbs is a warning.

    I wish I could have shared this with my dad. The night before the Vietnam War draft, he told me about going to a midnight meeting at the church at the center of his college campus. All the lights were turned off except the candles, they played this song on the pipe organ, and everyone sang since it was new enough to still be on pop charts. So many more than "10,000 people" went down into silence in the next few years, after that night, and this is the best musical approximation I've heard of the rage we should still feel about that.
    I'm glad you get to share this across generations. You're very lucky.

    Your near instant engagement, shock and surprise at the first verse suggests to me that the second half may be interesting.

    Listen to Disturbeds 'the light' & 'hold on to memories',
    Both are beautiful. They do a huge amount for those who have mental ill health and addiction problems. ❤️💙💜

    Disturbed has lyrics in their songs that often have a social message.

    I always love an original song, and Simon and Garfunkel were amazing at The Sound of Silence, but this version is phenomenal, to really appreciate how good this version is, you have to listen to the original, then this version straight after it.

    The analogy is spot on. Everyone should hear this version. Goes directly to your soul.

    This has been my favorite song(this version) for years. My mom loved it too when she was alive. I love the memory of running into the kitchen the 1st time I heard it so she could too. We both feel in love with it. Seeing a mother and daughter reacting to it just brings it back even more.
