    I am a 65 year old guy now, and I have to admit the first time I heard this version I was driving and I had to pull over. I simply could not see for tears. For lots of reasons. The beauty, the sadness, the despair. It still makes me cry if I just sit and listen. I have known of the band for many years and even in his heaviest numbers David always stirs emotion. I've never seen your channel before, but for some reason I almost cried again when I saw your reaction. So glad it moved you.

      So glad to read your observation! I felt the same when I first heard this cover. In its original form, it’s already a masterpiece. And now to have this version! Wow! You said it better than I probably could have...or at least I don’t have to put as much effort into coming up with a response. ❤
      Music that can move people to feel such pure, raw emotion is comparable to a spiritual experience. 🎶

    Paul Simon was very apprehensive about hearing this cover, But after he listened to it he was blown away by his outstanding voice control and vocal range ,He loved it so much that he put a link of it on his home page,And he said it was weird a wonderful that a Cover of his own work gave him chills and made the hair on his arms stand up,That alone speaks volumes.

    The beauty of this version is that it sounds less like a “new” version than a progression, something that I think Paul Simon felt when he gave the seal of his approval to David Draiman. Someone said that the original “Sound of Silence” was a plea to the world, a warning, and this version is the anger that the warning was ignored, which I think says it all.

    This song was incorporated into my husbands military funeral (Canadian military funerals are much different than US) Even those who had never heard it were brought to tears. He wasn’t religious and I struggled to tow the line to have a respectful semi formal service while honoring who HE was. In the end it was beautiful. Anyone that’s served and been deployed to war zones I think has a deep appreciation for this song.

    I read a comment before that Simon & Garfunkel first put the tune out as a warning, and the Disturbed version expresses anger that the warning went unheeded. I think that's a brilliant synopsis. I grew up in the glorious age of that great 60's & 70's music, and I still find it hugely emotional...this is no exception! I'm a 71 year old bagpiper, and my son challenged me to play this on pipes. I've spent the last week listening intently and transcribing it by ear to fit the limited note range of the Great Highland Bagpipes. It's the most challenging transcription I've tried, and after 5 solid days, I've got the first 4 verses down pretty pat. I should finish the tune this weekend and start editing & tweaking for my final write. This is a fun project, and I'm looking forward to finally taking it from the practice chanter to pipes.

    You can always tell who the true musicians are, when they get joy, or just give a subtle smile, at that salute he gives at the end of the performance.

    Your flash of visible confusion when he sang "that voices never shared"... That was delectable. The texture in this whole performance is unbelievable. Watching you go from analytical as a teacher to being completely absorbed by the emotion of the performance made me feel so happy that you got to enjoy it properly. When you nearly paused it and it just beat you to it.... Your breath visibly quickened... it is so so good. I swear this is one of the best ever performances of my life. It leaves you emotionally spent at the end, and the significance of the words hit really hard when you realise everything in the song has come to pass.

    I scrolled through a bunch of the top comments here ( I might have missed it though) and didn't notice anyone stating that David was really sick during this performance and yet he still performed perfectly. He got very upset that the Conan tech team had put some minor correction on his voice live because David basically refuses to use correction when performing. He's that confident and proud of his skills that he doesn't need correction at all. They sound just like this live as I've seen them perform this song live too!

    I will NEVER get tired of seeing reactions to this cover! It's the gift that keeps on giving.
    Seeing your face change and watching you become overwhelmed with emotion as you are connecting to it for the first time is my so pure. I felt the exact same visceral, emotional reaction to it!
    I'm an amateur musician, and your reaction demonstrates the reason that music took hold of me as a kid. When I heard music that (inexplicably) drew me in, I became immediately obsessed and connected in the strangest way.
    We don't just hear music, we feel it! I still tear up every time I hear this (and other emotionally connected tracks).
    Thanks for your honest and informative reaction!

    Paul Simon gave David the best compliment ever, when he told him that The Sound of Silence was his song now! I have listened to some of David's interviews and he is so genuine and humble. I am not a heavy metal fan, but David's voice is wonderful, especially in this song. I grew up with the original (I am 68 yo), but this version is my favorite. It makes reviewers cry.

    Disturbed is one of those bands that, when they cover a song, they do it right. They know the point is to pay homage to the song, whilst making the song their own. "Land of Confusion," "Shout," "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You," so on and so forth. All amazing covers that can stand next to the originals, arm in arm.

    • @dianescott3766

    It's beautiful to see the effect that the music has on you from 8:30 to 9:30. You were visibly moved by the experience. It's nice to see I wasn't the only one. This is such a powerful version of this song, it's hard not be overcome with emotion.

    Wow, Bethany ... I really had a difficult time watching you tear up through the puddles in my own eyes. This version ALWAYS gets me, but seeing it get to you confirmed the passion that comes up from his toes as he delivers the true message of this brilliant composition. The frustration and angst of watching the injustice of society, the lack of empathy for our fellow man, that screams from Paul Simon's lyrics, but were really not adequately delivered until David put voice to them. Paul and Art were just so beautifully matched for harmony, and maybe the times did not allow the true meaning to shine through at the level of this version, but it stands as a defining moment in the understanding of the power of Paul's words. I just completely loved your reaction to this, Bethany. Thank you for sharing your passion.

    • @Perry_Wolf
      @Perry_Wolf 2 года назад +4

      Another person put it beautifully by saying that the original version was a warning to the people that we can't be silent towards injustices, and Disturbed's cover encompasses anger towards the feeling that we are failing in heeding that warning. Very powerful!

    This man has one of the most incredible voices. He can sing soft and warm like melted chocolate, and he can conjur up ridiculous amounts of gravel without losing ANY of the power. And he doesn't have to scream or shout to be powerful either. He puts so much power into the quiet parts. This is legitimately as good as the original, and I say that about almost zero covers. But this one is absolutely phenomenal and gets right a the emotion behind the lyrics. The anger, the despair, it hits hard.

      No, it's not "as good as the original." It is better.
      It stomps the original into a whiney, whimpering puddle of goo and then mops it up.

    I heard Disturbed’s version of this song for the first time when I was driving home from work. I had to pull over and just let it wash over me. And hoped the DJ would announce the artist’s name. I have always loved the original (I’m pretty sure it’s the first song I heard of S & G when it hit the radio) but this version just seems like it fulfills the song’s deepest intent. It made me cry when I heard this version. It still does

    I love the the expression on your face when he starts really getting into it.. It's the same moment that gives me chills. I know people are really hard-pressed to compare a cover to an original, but hands down, just pure feeling and power, disturbed blasted the the original out of the water. Your expression, the from the looks, almost tears.. I love seeing others react the same way I feel about this cover.
