      @trenae77 Год назад +16

      Avi's course needed a different track and Matt brings his own magic. He's a bass, but he's not the same bass Avi was - which proves the integrity of the group. They can absorb the new style and talent and work it into the whole instead of making the sound conform to what came before.

    As a child of the 60’s I grew up on the original Simon and Garfunkel song. I knew the words but never cared much for the song. Then I heard Disturbed sing it and it made the words pop for me and I love that version. Pentatonix put out their version and I again fell in love with their version. On another video I read a message that said Disturbed’s version shows the helplessness of the song and Pentatonix version is the Optimistic side. Can’t agree more with that comment. I love both versions equally.

      Well, the ORIGINAL (and just my opinion, the best), is on the Paul Simon SongBook LP. Just his quiet, melodious voice; and his superb clean but simple guitar. Magical - and always overlooked because of the trite S & G well overmixed/overproduced later version).

    nice reaction! I agree that this is a great rendition...just as chilling as Disturbed's.I've heard that the original was a warning, Disturbed's was anger that the warning hadn't been heeded and PTX's is hope that finally the warning will be heeded.
    Whenever the bass ( Avi or Matt) sings verse or lead, Scott takes over the bassline. It's hard to catch in videos because the camera focus is mostly on the singer and much of the bass is humming or just a word or two.

    Ive said this a few times but my 3 fave versions of this song give it 3 different meanings to me. Simon & Garfunkels original version is a warning to humanity, we are in danger of losing ourselves. This Pentatonix version is a glimmer of hope, humanity can save themselves. The Disturbed version is for me the darkest, humanity has been lost and any hope is gone. All 3 are outstanding.

      Paul Simon wrote this on his own. In 1964ish. It was on his Paul Simon Song Book LP. Which I bought, I think, in 1965. And STILL HAVE IT! His quite, reflective; introverted, gentle vesion - with beautiful accoustic only accompaniment - is the antithesis of the the crude, hyped up 'made for cash' version subsequently put out with Garfunkell, under pressure from their management. Try and find it and have a listen. (And I love this version).

Matt has an amazing voice and he had wanted to be in PTX for a long time. This is a beautiful version of this song. Completely different from the original and Disturbed’s version. Visually simple but it really fits the vibe of the song.

I love it even more than the original Simon and Garfunkel version in NYC Central Park which blew me away way back then when I saw it on TV LIVE.There are certainly other outstanding performances i.e.Disturbed both their video and the one of them on late-night TV. But, NONE, IMHO beat this one. Thank you for all your delightful reviews. I've been following for a long time now and I'm always delighted to find a new one when I come online to see my music.

    Simon wrote this song. A genius, in words, feelings, music and the absolute truth of any city you see. Garfunckle did not think much of it. But, Simon begged him to have them play it in concert. He gave in. But, it was not well received at that time. Garfunkel was so upset. That him and Simon parted ways for awhile. They adventually came back together. And continued to make music . It was not until years later that this song became a hit. And people started seeing it for the amazing song he tried to share about this world and it's people in it. Seeking fame for themselves and treating the lights lit with their names, as God. While others suffered, were depressed, gangs writing on walls in subways and apartment slum walls. Simon, tells it all. How the past generation did not understand and see what he knew was coming. Is beyond me. I seen it as he did. And now days, it is beyond that. And we have to get back to the past with love and compassion or the future is much worse.

You can tell when an artist basically 'phoning in' a performance and not feeling it or giving it their all, but that never happens with this group. It's always their 'A Game' and you just get lost in listening to them.

    The three main versions are Simon and Garfunkel which served as a warning. Then Disturbs version, which was anger that the warning was not listened to. And finally Pentatonix which says there is still hope.
    Listen to them back to back to back. It is amazing the different feel of each.
