If you're wondering why the video is oddly chopped up..that's because the video was posted on Patreon and I usually talk a lot there 😂 People on RUclips would probably kill me😅
Said it before.....I come for the person, that's you. Wish you would be less self deprecating. You are awesome just being you. Really wish you had someone in your life reinforcing the fact that you are awesome, creative, bubbly, and cool to be around. To quote Mr. Dundee....if we hung out, we would be mates. :) (in the Australian sense of the expression...lol)
I just wanted to say it's a cool video. Also usually it works like this: someone writes a song and successfully and whatnot than a metal vocalist says let me show you how to this. And that's how these masterpieces born
I weep uncontrollably every time i hear this version . Because now I understand what the song means I never got it before now I get it! Humanity has turned away from everything meaningful in this world. We are deaf to everything that matters and they're takin in but sings with man. Humanity is lost touch with humanity. We are jaded and the simple most beautiful things in this world fall on deaf ears. It is all around us but we can not see through the white noise of our own making
I agree but it’s hard to listen to the lyrics when the voice is so incredible. I would almost suggest reading the lyrics as you listen just so you can take both then
"People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening." Dang, Simon & Garfunkel pretty much nailed today's cell phone society way back when they wrote this in the lates 60s.
Paul Simon thought it was the best cover he'd ever heard too when he called David and talked to him. Completely blew David's mind that the man who made the song a masterpiece would give him such a complement.
One of the greatest covers ever recorded if you ask me. I thought it was going to suck when I got it as a suggestion to hear. I still get chills when I hear this, so powerful and moving.
The part that’s makes this awesome was he chose this song to attempt because he had surgery (cancer i think). So he didn’t know if he could hit some of the notes.
I cry every single time I watch this song, and that's everyday. I feel this is one of the few special songs that got the vocals, music and video spot on and it just hits you so powerfully. A great song should bring out your emotions. If it does then its just perfect. That's not to say other singers or songs aren't great but ones like this are just in a class of their own. I'm a 56 year old guy and been around music since I was 6 years old and very few have hit me with goosebumps, tears and a quivering lip and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I just showed my mum this this morning and she's 80 and wants it for her funeral when she passes in the years to come. I want it used too.
It is a powerful song originally by Simon & Garfunkel about the lost or lack of communication between each other and what could possibly happen if we were to stop.
He tells this story with such reverence and passion, crying comes natural if you understand why it was written, he obviously has great respect for the meaning.
You are tearing up from the raw emotion in his voice...It's why a song in a foreign language can still break you even without understanding the words...Emotion is universal.
@@GiddyKitty He's actually classically trained, also studied cantor. Draiman is probably the most underrated metal singer in the industry, he has a ton of control and range in his voice.
I do love this version, but the original Simon and Garfunkel one should not be ignored... if you haven't listened to it, you should. This is a very different interpretation of the song, but is very respectful of the original, and both Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel have said very positive things about it.
@@zitchfukker4864 Disturbed might not be the heaviest metal band BUT ppl need bands like that as like an into to metal, slowly they will explore other artists and maybe eventually become a fan of youre metal band.
@@ambersmith3328 +1.0×e^100. (that's 1 googol, if you're interested). My introduction to metal was disturbed and soad. Everyone has to start somewhere.
The song was on the soundtrack of the movie Watchmen, but in the original version from Simon and Garfunkel. In this version from Disturbed it was used in an episode of The Blacklist
@Nicolas Broszky the normies don't realize you have to fully unlock your rage now and then to understand the full depth of your whole spectrum of emotions. No one can sing straight into your soul on a ballad like a Metal vocalist.
Its no trap. It doesn't matter that its metal band God works in mystery. Look at Apostle Paul or even Cyrus. If the music is uplifting to you don't fight it flow with it. For me living in USA today with demonic dems is a trap that most will fall into. The left has some wonderful ideology. The problem being in this time it will lead to genocide of certain groups like Christians first. Let your fear go rejoice in the Living Word. Amen.
@@Nemesis1ism ummm its not the left that are putting children in cages and trying to take away healthcare from ppl just cuz they are gay or trans. The left want freedom of religion, i say this as a Christian. All the left wants from religion is for our or anyone elses religion to tell them what to or not to do. Read the bible, the type of stuff that Jesus preached is what the left want.
It's on the soundtrack from "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft in 1967, performed by the writer of the song, Paul Simon, and his bandmate Art Garfunkel. It's a very famous song, covered hundreds of times, actually.
I listened to the Simon and Garfunkel version of Silence when I was a young person. Paul Simon wrote this song. However, this version moves me so much that I crank it up as loud as I can. It was also on an episode of The Black List.
This song makes me cry every time. You are not alone. And just so you know, this is a cover, as is Mad World from Donnie Darko. I like both versions of this song, but prefer the original of Mad World, not that the cover is bad, but Tears for Fears are special to me.
The song actually was part of a soundtrack, though the movie was "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman. The song was written and performed by Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkle for their first album back in 1963. However, Paul Simon has been quoted saying that THIS is his favorite cover of his song.
I love this song. It reminds me a bit of "The sacrifice" by "Symphony X". I don't know why. I don't know many Disturbed songs. The other ones I know are okay in my opinion. You really need to check out Blind Guardian The Bard's Song live in Wacken
hi my Name is Karl Dickson when i first listened to this song i felt a strong emotional connection to it but i love the song such a beautiful voice and strong vocals.
A great cover with an awesome voice. Personally like it even more than the original 🤔. Also would like to see your reaction to "Kamelot & Simone Simons - The Haunting" :)
GK, actually this is a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's 1964 original with Disturbed added a tweaked to the song. Even songwriter & singer, Paul Simon of S&G emailed David Draiman, singer that he loved Disturbed cover of iconic song.
GK, you were speaking of the original - here it is - Simon & Garfunkel did a reunion concert in 1982 in New Central Park Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/NAEppFUWLfc/видео.html

You should react to Marilyn Manson- The beautiful people or The Nobodies or any other song by him
" This is kind of relaxing"
Buckle up, buttercup. He's about reach in and grab your soul.
Heh. Buttercup....
now i'm imagining Kano from mortal kombat but it's david draiman just snatching your emotions
My thoughts exactly.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beautifully said. So true.
I watch these reactions just so I can listen to this song over and over.
Kylie Shovan Me too.
Same here. Love to see and hear their interpretations of this awesome remake.
Did do lol
Same 😂👌
Same here
"Crying for no reason" that's your soul recognizing the tragic message of the song. Our souls sometimes understand what our minds don't
"I'm literally crying for no reason."
My dear you're feeling the passion. That's not "no reason."
Absolutely; when that song grabs your soul you know it!
It's also the melody. The melody is so profound It's almost like Simon had help writing it, if you know what I mean.
I've heard this so many times. I still get goosebumps.
The same here, and I even do not understand the half of the lyric.
we all do :)
EVERY. TIME.
“It’s so soothing. I wanna nap right now.”
Oh, my sweet summer child.
:D
LOL!! Emotional.....This is an awesome version, I'll never get sick of listening to it.
If you need a nap than you are Brain Dead.
I couldn't help but laugh. No way could you sleep thru this much power, emotion and beauty.
Ditzy broad
First minutes "mellow and chill", oh boy you're in for a surprise
In my mind i said buckle up buttercup
🤣😂🤣😂. I said "Oh.... Just wait"
Mellow and chill couldn't be more opposite. She disguised her reaction just let the music take u where you will your hearts in there somewhere
"Oh, sweet summer child, you're in for a ride."
Facts🤣
you need some "Oh, wah-ah-ah-ah" in your life missy!
I laughed too hard at this lol.
😂😂😂😂😂
Excelente jajajajaja
HAHAHHAHA
UAHAHAHAHAAHA!!! NUMERO 1!
Don't worry my dear, this version make everyone tear up a little, even the "insensitive" ones. Tears of emotion.
Oh, yes it does
David dramian is one of the most underrated vocalists.
He is an incredibly skilled singer
Only outside the genre, though. Most metal fans, whether they personally are Disturbed fans or not, recognize this dudes pipes.
Better than any k-pop singer by far
I need to find more of his singing. If this is anything like his usual performance, OMG.
All hail David!!!
I weep uncontrollably every time i hear this version . Because now I understand what the song means I never got it before now I get it!
Humanity has turned away from everything meaningful in this world. We are deaf to everything that matters and they're takin in but sings with man. Humanity is lost touch with humanity. We are jaded and the simple most beautiful things in this world fall on deaf ears.
It is all around us but we can not see through the white noise of our own making
His music speaks more than the lyrics. We feel the lyrics with Disturb's voice and not just hear it
Clown Whisper beautifully said
Dude this comment only makes me want to say deadass
The “wanting to cry” reaction means you are human, and the song connects with you. Completely understandable. And you now have a new subscriber.
Best cover of this song. Better than the original.
S&G admitted to that
No.
Both are equally powerful... They just touch me in different ways.
Sister if you listen to the words, it is way more POWERFUL
I agree but it’s hard to listen to the lyrics when the voice is so incredible. I would almost suggest reading the lyrics as you listen just so you can take both then
"People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening." Dang, Simon & Garfunkel pretty much nailed today's cell phone society way back when they wrote this in the lates 60s.
@Midnightrambler3760 I was about to say the EXACT same thing!!
And she’s proving them right. She isn’t listening to the song.
S&G were talking about TV's. Disturbed points at cell phones.
Early 60's.
S&G's original showed their disappointment. Disturbeds version shows their anger.
Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning
Disturbed's version is rage because the warning was ignored
Mr. Jay....well said
The first time I heard this version, I said the EXACT same thing.
How many people are going to comment this exact same thing.
Exactly... Best version ever!!!!
@Brandon Bevill because it's a good overused quote
I'm laughing so hard that she thinks its relaxing...wait till he cuts loose😂😂😂😂
This is regarded as one of the, if not the best, cover ever made. It's got so much soul and is timeless, it makes me emotional too
Paul Simon thought it was the best cover he'd ever heard too when he called David and talked to him. Completely blew David's mind that the man who made the song a masterpiece would give him such a complement.
"Why does this song make me want to cry?"
Because this song makes anyone with a soul want to cry.
Haha, joke's on you, I'm a sociopath. My sense of emotion is dampened greatly.
@@spoonicus9592 Edgy
Mr Draiman was Professionally trained as a Cantor at his Temple.
One of those rare songs you feel deep even if you don't catch the lyrics. I love seeing peoples' first time experiencing this song.
It’s not “The Sound of Silence.”
It’s the sound of perfection.
One of the greatest covers ever recorded if you ask me. I thought it was going to suck when I got it as a suggestion to hear. I still get chills when I hear this, so powerful and moving.
It's a very emotional song. He was classically trained and his voice is about as good as it gets.
Corey Taylor Acoustic Snuff is phenomenal
The part that’s makes this awesome was he chose this song to attempt because he had surgery (cancer i think). So he didn’t know if he could hit some of the notes.

Listen to what the songs tell, there are reasons to cry.
She is PROOF that people do not LISTEN to what is being said.
It's not rock or soul. It's not pop or opera. It's soul to soul. Unique.
The original is from Simon & Garfunkel and is actually featured as a soundtrack to the 1967 movie "The Graduate"
It's okay too cry...
I cry too this song and I'm a 6'3" 290lb adult male...
If you know the true meaning of this song in your heart; you will cry...
The Donny Darko song i think you're thinking of is Gary Jules cover of "Mad World ", which is originally Tears for Fears song.
"This makes me wanna cry."
That's normal. Don't fight it.
It is a powerful song originally by Simon & Garfunkel about the lost or lack of communication between each other and what could possibly happen if we were to stop.
great reaction, great commentary, really pretty face :)
you are not the first one tearing up to this song while reacting.
This song is OUTSTANDING.
Original is by Simon and Garfunklel
and is old
The original was released in 1965.
ruclips.net/video/f7McpVPlidc/видео.html
And it was done far better and with far more feeling and emotion than this crap.
@@karina833 ok let's stop here
You should hear his voice in "immortalized" , "indestructible" , "no more" and "the light" but mostly "down with the sickness". 😂😂
What about Already Gone, or even A Reason to Fight
I like "Prayer". The way David operates his voice is unreal.
The Game and Stupify
This song was like the prophecy for the times we live in right now
He tells this story with such reverence and passion, crying comes natural if you understand why it was written, he obviously has great respect for the meaning.
4:42 You know when people put their hands behind their head like that they're barely holding on.
Now it's time for Spirit Carries On by Dream Theater 😎
Big up
Let's go!
OMG yes please!!!!
Dream Theater are another way underrated band; with so many long and powerful tracks. SCO is unreal!!💕
Not only does it make me tear up, as a 6'3" hardass who is nearly a meter across the shoulders, I'm willing to admit that it makes me tear up.
Not only does this make me tear up as an owner of a 20 inch penis but I'm willing to admit it makes me tear up
Cybrludite
Well... I guess you may be larger than most of us --But you are still just as human as we are! :-)
You teared up because you can see his raw emotions. He takes you through this song with every note. It's the best version
Johnny cash hurt. Watch and react
Best Nine Inch Nail cover, even better then original imho *ducks*
BergenDev no it’s not butthurt fan
Thats brilliant. 100x better then the original.
Karafallout 1992 true the one who wrote “Hurt “. Admittedly said he believes he wrote that song for Johnny Cash
The original version is sung by Simon and Garfunkel
You: I wanna nap right now.
Me: Just wait...
now you have to react to a real Disturbed song, like Stricken, inside the fire, etc.
Indestructible
Droppin' plates or the game
Denial men Down With The Sickness
Just listened to Disturbs Stricken. Definitely heavy metal! A very stark contrast to Sounds of Silence.
Forsaken from there queen of the damned soundtrack
Makes me cry.......strong, powerful, message.....
Simon and Garfunkel wrote the song in the 1960s. And you're right it was done much differently. It has a dystopic message.
"I'm seriously tearing up for no reason. "
Yes.. That happens to the best of all.. Also about that 'no reason'... :P
You are tearing up from the raw emotion in his voice...It's why a song in a foreign language can still break you even without understanding the words...Emotion is universal.
Seen these guys in concert quite a few times. David has an awesome voice!! Hope your day gets better.... :) Luv ya.....mean it!!
His voice is amazing I agree. Feeling a little better thank you!😘❤️
@@GiddyKitty He's actually classically trained, also studied cantor. Draiman is probably the most underrated metal singer in the industry, he has a ton of control and range in his voice.
I cry every time I hear this song... it’s such a powerful projection by David his voice is beautiful!
I love to see people's reactions to what is my favourite cover version of all time .... cool reaction :)
"This is kind of relaxing, actually"...yeah, for about a minute. Then all hell breaks loose.
I do love this version, but the original Simon and Garfunkel one should not be ignored... if you haven't listened to it, you should.

Amazing band and song. Completely agree
It’s amazing how years later ppl are still raving about this song. Awesome
Say what you well but the lead singer has some of the best pipes in the industry. Espically considering the fact that there normally more heavy metal.
If I remember right, David was classically trained in opera though I might be mistaken.
The "Silent Raindrops" are the tears that are shed by people. If you teared up, then you got the message of the song. Watch it again with out talking.
...If Hunter thinks they're not disturbing he never listened to the back half of "Down with the Sickness" lol

Good cover, adds an element of desperation to Paul Simon's plea from 55 years ago.
