I'm not sure if you guys read these, but just in case, I'm 71 years old, I was about 13 or 14 when Paul Simon wrote this song and it's always been a favorite. When I heard Ya'll "Disturbed" do this cover, I actually had goose bumps from head to toe. by the time it got to the end ,I had tears in my eyes. You "Disturbed" have brought a great deal of justice to this great hit, and will carry it's legacy for many, many years. Out of the millions of views of this video, I'm sure at least 1000 are mine. The words to the song, mean as much or more now than when written, so many years ago. Even though I'm not a Metal fan, I will always cherish your version. To say this old man is obsessed with this cover, would be a gross understatement, Carry on, and God Bless ya, and THANK YOU, from a Fan, In Tennessee.
This was one of the favorite songs of my dad, and thanks to it he discovered Disturbed, which then became one of his most favorite music bands ever. He passed away 12 days ago, after 6 weeks of fighting Covid-19. And this song played at his funeral. I love you, Dad. And I miss you so, so much.
Im sorry to hear that.. I know the feeling, the pain never fades, but in time you'll become numb and it becomes easier but the man who raised me has been gone for 7 years now and i still cry every time i see his photo in my wallet or talk about him even this post actually took a good 15 min to fight nack tears but i wont let his name be forgotten in my lifetime it was Billy Carl Tresner So i hope you are handling your loss better then i did but i remember the ancient Egyptians believed that we all die twice. The first death is body. The second one. is the last time someone speaks your name.
I leave my comment here so that every time someone "likes" I get a notification and it reminds me that I have to come listen to this great song again..
I am 72. When l first heard this version, it was over the radio...and my entire body reacted! I had grown up with the first...even remember the boyfriend who sang it to me on his guitar....but this video! This artist! Haunting...and the words of the prophets are written on... Now the words of the prophets are being heard...l certainly hear them! Wow... I feel them😔🥺 Thanks for your comment honey!❤
This song brings me back to lonely nights staring at the stars while deployed in Iraq in 04.... the sounds of gunfire and choppers overhead overlapped by the sounds of silence in my own head while watching the stars wishing for a peace I couldn't observe...... thank you for this masterpiece...
Ohl Matthew what an experience you so many soldiers all over the world had to go through. Hope and pray these effects are less than lessened over the years for you and everyone else who lived through war like my moms family moved back to Greece in twenties and stayed throughout world War II in the 40s. She went to three wars the ones the Italians. The Germans and then the Civil War made by the communist up till 1949 when they were brought back to America because they were natural born citizens by the state department.. Mon still had those nightmares up till the 60s. Now she's gone and those nightmares are gone too. And my dad was drafted when he was 35 years old and had a heart attack during the blitzgred in London that partly disabled him. I wish you more peace over the years take care brother thank you
His voice is so incredibly soft and powerful at the same time. I remember when I first heard this version on the morning radio. It was a couple of months after my father's sudden death. My dad had been a Simon and Garfunkel fan. I listened to this cover and had to pull to the side of the road as I was bawling my eyes out. It was cathartic. Thank you for helping me grieve with this song.
Sorry for your lose! Live every day like dad is behind you, and make him proud because of you. I can't even imagine to lose someone from my close family, but I am fightting with my own... because I don't have time for them and I know I will regret once.
@@Gwen34900 wow Gwen I don't know how to say something here.. I feel deep in the painful area of my body the depth of what you said but you and your father.. I can't express any more into words the feeling in my soul can't be explained adjust know that music brings back so many hurts and loves
We played this at my uncles funeral after he passed on Christmas Eve. He loved disturbed. I miss you Uncle Mark Edit: thank you for all the love you guys, y'all are the greatest. Edit: happy birthday uncle mark. The family got together and listened to this song. We love you.

I lost my elderly mum just over 4 months ago. I used to play music to her regularly of which she loved this song by Disturbed. She was 92 yrs old and had vascular dementia. Makes me cry when I hear this song but I know she is around in love and spirit.
If she was 92 years old I can tell you right the fuck now, she did not like the that group of players. Simon and Garfunkel was who played this song. Not that shit crap remake of garbage
so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 2 years ago and it's as fresh today as it has ever been. Think of the happiness your mum felt in those moments you shared, let that joy into your heart and feel the happiness she must have experienced. You gave her that.
For my people, my city, coffins parading in army trucks ... without the greeting of their loved ones ... only tears in solitude. I love you Bergamo ... we will rise stronger than before
My brother worked in Italy, i went to pick him up in Rijeka,Croatia, when he crosssed border there.He Is well, and doing fine.Now we are quarantined,and i just wanted to listen to this song,,,
When I was a teenager back in the 70's I recall my dad saying that in 20 years the young people would laugh at my music just like I laughed at his. Now 50 years later I see kids listening to Led Zepplin and wearing Pink Floyd t-shirts and singing "Sound of Silence" I gotta say, Dad (RIP) you know I love you but they don't laugh at our music, they just remake it.
I'm 74 ....was in NYC when the song was released.Now I'm on the other side of the world but the sound of silence of NYC. still ringing in my ears and ever will be.Your version really reflection the current.
Hello, darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping. And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone. Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp. I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never share. And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools," said I, "You do not know: Silence, like a cancer, grows. Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you," But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence. And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls. And whispered in the sound of silence."
Wish I could thank you enough for the pleasure u guys gave my husband in his last moments of life he insisted that he listened to u as he took his last breath so from the bottom of my heart thank you guys x
There are Gifts of the Spirit that are bestowed on mankind from his creator, and one of those is Prophecy. If you find yourself interested in this, there are real time prophecies being fulfilled in america and in the world that were spoken about by prophet named Kim Clement. It says in the Word that all should prophecy. Side-note : there is also a calling much like if someone is called -anointed and appointed- by God to become a missionary or a pastor, one can also be prophetic and be called into the “office of a prophet”. This would be similar to the prophets of the bible who dealt with country’s & kings regarding words of knowledge and foresight from God. Kim Clement had that, and even though he has passed on his prophetic words are still being heard. He has a pattern on a 10 year window of time from when he spoke out a prophetic word and us seeing that word in real time happening. Some of his prophetic words spoken on year 2014 are coming to pass just now in america. Even if you are not a christian i still recommend checking out his prophecy’s in fact there is a archive of kim clement people should check it out.
Experienced. That is the only word to describe hearing this song. You don’t “listen” to it. You don’t dance to it. You EXPERIENCE it. S&G gave us the poetry, David Draiman gave us the warning.
Paul Simon who wrote this song (and who wrote all the songs-lyrics and music for Simon & Garfunkel) apparently saw Disturbed performing this song on a late night show and contacted the band saying he was very impressed by their "powerful " performance of this song.
I think that most artists don't get upset, when they see another band doing one of their old songs. If anything, it should be flattering to know that your message is still relevant, even if the actual way it is sung, gets updated to a more modern beat and rhythm. In most cases, it is easily recognizable as derived from the original, with many of the basic patterns of notes and melodies being maintained, if slightly altered in tempo and range. This song is a perfect example of that and it goes to show, that another artists vision of the song, can even improve it, from the point of view of the younger generation and sometimes, even the original generation of listeners. However, there will always be those who prefer the original. I like both versions, but Disturbed's version is better, in my opinion. I think the power of the voice behind the message is what Paul recognized. The message was given strength.
Trent Reznor from NIN said the same thing to Johnny Cash about the song "Hurt." At first Reznor was a little put out because of how personal the song was to him but after he heard Cash sing it and saw his video for it he told him this is no longer my song it's yours.
@@ivyivee1042 I heard it when I was 21 .....now I'm 80 . This version, with the great voice , emotion and video brings an awesome dimension to Pauls song . Bravo !
I can’t stop listening I’m a 70s child too. Dad made us listen to Italian Opera, followed by a dose of Glen Campbell. Set me up for life. Disturbed sound of silence is just sheer genius xx

This version of Simon and Garfunkel's song echoes the times in which we now find ourselves... Dark, disturbing and full of rage. I love David's voice, absolutely flawless.
I'll respect your privacy, Pardon me for writing in your comment am impressed by your personality. I admire your kind demeanour. I mean It's quite impressive the way you expressed yourself, and I can tell you are an easygoing person someone worth spending time with. sorry if this sounds weird, but I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends.
If you like THIS version...go find the one from Conan O'Brian's talk show. If at all possible, play it through a really good sound system...one that'll rattle your bones a little. I simply can not get past that first lift without sobbing uncontrollably. Very few pieces of music can do that to me. I'm not going to do it tonight, because I've had a long day and, truthfully, it's a bit exhausting to listen to and watch. But, damn, when I need an emotional cleanse...David Draiman, on that night, sick as a dog with a high fever, (as the legend goes) threw a performance that belongs upon Mount Olympus...but it was given to us mere mortals!
@@Bluswede Have you heard, or if you remember, Night Running by Mike & The Mechanics from 86?, Another that's been being played often, as IT WAS WRITTEN FOR WHAT WAS KNOWN TO BE COMMING, WHICH IS NOW, Especially since 2020 ! 🤨🌎🇺🇸🦅⚖️😉😎, WWG1WGA&QA's2/ P.T.'s 3%'rs, MacChaughleh, M.A.G.'r Yet, & ALL Countries, Ayuh
David may never really know how beautiful and powerful his voice is. This version brought meaning to the song, I lost my sister to cancer, may God bless those who have fought, lost and won the victory of this dreaded disease.
Wow, this is astonishly powerful. I've been a hardcore Paul Simon fan my entire life and know next to nothing about Disbturbed, and this is easily the best cover I've ever heard of any of his songs. Definitely in the top five of covers, period. Like others have said, it gave me goosebumps and left me with tears in my eyes.
I’ll be honest. When I first heard that Disturbed made a cover of this song, I was highly sceptical. I love Disturbed, but hearing that they were doing a song by Simon and Garfunkel left me thinking that they were going to end up butchering the original. But then I went in and listened to this song and, let me just say, I was blown away. I’ve now heard this song more times than I can count and everytime I hear it, it’s just as amazing as when I first heard it. I will always love Disturbed, regardless of what other people say.
Couldn't agree more! I usually hate covers, along with movie remakes. This is the exception! There is so much power and depth, so much more than the original. I'm old, remember the lyrics to most S&G songs lol. Hate to admit that I prefer this but I do! Listen to it 2 or 3 times daily lol. Amazing voice and the video is wonderfully dark, just perfect
He’ll always be there.. The sudden pick up of a wind gust, that’s him flying by, you may hear his voice from time to time, smell his scent… He’s talkin to yah buddy..
In metal game he is yeah average 1.Mike patton 2.Phil anselmo 3.Corey taylor 4.Mikael åkerfeldt 5.Matt shadow 6.Rob halford 7.Bruce dickinson Etc. But yeah i like his voice tho
@@DevourmentDay Please let me take this opportunity to express my most humblest and sincere apologies to you. I had no idea that making a light hearted comment about 1 man's voice in 1 song would have such a profound affect on you. I am mortified that I hurt your feelings and totally disregarded your wealth of knowledge. Knowledge you so gracefully shared with all of us. We are all much better people because you were able to list your favourite singers. I hope this apoloy has improved your quality of life. I sure hope that a comment from an obviously uneducated person won't always work you into a tizz. You take care now.
Not a huge fan of disturbed. Like a few of their songs, but most of them felt generic over the years, but holy crap this blew me away. Glad to see that he gave the song the respect it deserves, while still making it his own.
I have listen to the others that have made their version of this song and there is no one that can match the way you can sing it. thank you for the remake I think it is great

No matter how many times I hear it, I cannot get over how well done it is. His voice is perfect for it and they build it up perfectly, the crescendo is right where it is supposed to be for that grand ending. Well done, well done.
Jesus Christ is the love of your life. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7 ✝🌅 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. John 3:11 🌅 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 ✝🌅
This has always been one of my many favorite songs. I'm 71 now and you have just outdone yourself remaking this wonderful song. I have listened to it too many times to count. Thank you!
Covid dont exist. They fabricated a massive plandemic in 2019 of October called event 201. 4 months later on the us news they claim someone died, learn about pshycological military warfare. Your all being played... the mask wearing is a Iniation into the new system.

WE DID IT!!! It's been 8 years, and we're 32 million away from this video getting 1 billion views! LET'S DO IT, GUYS!!! Edit: I just checked back a month later, and now 18 million left. We're doing great! Edit 2 on April 14, 2024: Now we're 10 million away! We're so close!
I don't understand why everyone makes a big deal on where they came from. who cares where you heard it. it's all about loving a truly great remake of a beautiful song and disturbed deserves all the respect and recognition.
I'm 66. I was a 6-year-old girl when the debut album was released with this song on it. The song has resonated throughout my life and then when I saw this video I was struck dumbfoundead in so many ways. I watched it again tonight and it reminds me precisely of a book we were assigned to read in grade 10 english. A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller. A post-apocalyptic novel. If you even read the description you will see what I mean. So many of us from that time period are commenting here because we know what life was then, what it is now and what it will be in the future. 😢
It's just a matter of taste. The message itself, instead of original or a cover, is beautifull. And there it's end at the songwriter. Songs like this...is just a tribute in my eyes.
I don't disagree with you, but the original was also awesome. There are a LOT of covers floating around and I find this one I would put on my playlist, whilst most others I would not bother with.
Disturbed absolutely rocked this song. This song sends chills down your arms everytime and brings a tear to your face one of the most powerful songs ever made
I love CaptainBlagbird's poetic description of how I felt the first time I ever heard David sing this song. However, I also respect the technical description musically with David's mind blowing vocal gifts. What a crescendo it is..........🤘👍
I grew up with the S&G version. This rendition is actually better, though, to be fair, he has the benefit of music technology they didn't have. But he's absolutely brought the goods here.
Oh shit...I got a whole new meaning out of this cover. His intensity and deepness brought more of a frustrated and angry feel for the state of humanity. I just love how the lyrics are so applicable decades after this song was first written - I have a feeling it will be applicable for years to come.
Liz Xu. I couldn't agree more. Paul Simon rolling into New York at the youbg age of what. 21. When he witnessed and took in, and then wrote of his experiences. Yes more anger and frustration in the state of humanity decades later, sad in itself. When I first heard of this remake I didn't think I would care for it. I was wrong and can't quite listening to it again. Perfect tribute to a genius's work of art.
There will be a time when we'll not sing any songs but still be as frustrated about the state of humanity as you were while listening to this song. That time is near. I only hope that I don't make it to that time ever.
It's 2024 and I'm back at this song, trying to have energy for a new year. All of my friends are enjoying new year, and I'm sitting in a room next to them crying, trying to convince myself that I do not want to die today, I didn't eat in 2 days, but this song gave me hope again and I will try to do better.Thank you for this beautiful song, it was a shit year and the next one i hope to be better. If everyone feels the same as me, let's try to be positive and see the new year as a new chance. Happy new year
I hope you know you matter, your loved, and cared for. You're needed in this world. I hope you find peace within yourself this year. I know it's hard, but hold on, love, you aren't alone, even when you are. There's a world full of people that understand how you feel. 🫶🫶🫶
I hear you. Lost my mom in September. Sister hasn't talked to me. My daughter and my grandkids won't talk to me. I wish I knew why. All I have is silence.
I noticed the other day the doomsday clock was set to 90 seconds from midnight. I pray before humanity goes any further we can stop ourselves. Just learn to love for 1 day. It breaks my heart seeing my nephew laughing an playing with his toy buzz lightyear an that night having to watch on the news how everyone's launching missiles an threatening nuclear war. Have we truly become so heartless .
Here because my stepdad that died. He treated me better than my actual dad. He was there for me when i was done and everything. This song played at my moms funeral and i remember looking at my mom and just see her burst into tears. This song hits hard
@@fatiguee1s See Genesis, chapter 3 in the Old Testament. It doesn't end there though. The New Testament is all about God's offer of eternal life through his Son, Jesus Christ. Read it, accept it and live! Sorry, no silence here.
I'm 62 years old. I had become a Disturbed fan with Down with the Sickness and Paul Simon had been my main man since I was 10. I was so effing ecstatic when you covered this fantastic Simon and Garfunkel song!
Same here. My dad always played Simon and Garfunkel and collected Paul Simon's work there after. Always my fav then in my teens I discover Disturbed and just fell in love with their sound then they do this song..Fell over the moon with this one. I love love love this song💖💖💖💖
Beat my opiate fentanyl addiction. Carried this song for a long time. This one hit hard and did its job. Love and respect to all of you. Always hold on. Always.
I feel you. This to me is God himself thru Disturbed warning us. There are battles before us and there will surely be loss and pieces to be picked up. But in the end...He sends help. God has already helped you. I too need help. Thank you for sharing.

Ich liebe den Song und den Sänger. Kommt leider morgens sehr selten im Radio wenn ich zur Arbeit fahre. Aber wenn, drehe ich voll auf und total durch...Kein Mensch kann da ruhig im Sitz bleiben ...❤❤
I'm a fairly big music snob, especially when it comes to covers. Simon & Garfunkel are iconic. David Draiman gave this song absolute justice. I've always adored the original (and still do), but Draiman's version is chilling. It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, and that takes a real artist. Thank you for creating this amazing rendition, David. Incredibly beautiful.
+Wednesday Camille I need to listen to this and see the video every few days, since I discovered it a few months ago. You describe my own reaction quite well. Such power!
+Wednesday Camille yes I could almost "cut and paste" your post...as an old skool S'nG' fan...I feel there are certain songs, certain things in life, that you just don't fu## with...unless you do it very, very well. And yes! DISTURBED does these classic -remakes like they were meant to in some cosmic prophecy fortold. This is what they do, and they do it better than anyone...LAND OF CONFUSION was more about hard driving power, here in SOUND OF SILENCE - the errie, yet beautiful, haunting sound blended niceley with the power of the vocals/power of the words with beautiful creshendos of cybals and timpani...:)
This is a line that with a change in words means a lot to a depressed person like myself, life, is not measured in the number of breaths you take, but the number of moments that take your breath away-benjerman Franklin
I was at a funeral last week,this song by this artist was playing when the coffin was taken out. It was a large funeral, possibly 200 people there, emotional doesn't come close to what I witnessed with this song, the perfect tune in that situation.
Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence
The story of my last 13 years since I lost my brother in all but blood, I lived in a world of silence, and I feared sleeping. 13 years later, I'm doing better, but it still hurts.
Hello Disturbed my old friend, I've come to listen to you again... I came back one year later to edit this because I learned how to English because of my English teacher
I turned 67 this past year, and I well remember summer afternoons in the hayloft, with my tiny little turquoise transistor radio that my older Sis had bought to me....listening to Simon and Garfunkel. This song shook me then...and this version shakes me more. It is pure perfection.
I'm always skeptical when it comes to S&G covers. I tend to regard them as ... almost sacred, not to be messed with... but, this cover - I love it. You totally GET the song. The feeling, the emotion, the meaning, everything. This is truly a magnificent interpretation.
I couldn't disagree more, but repsect you opinion. For me, I think replacing the very REAL and subtle meditation on REAL death, wth the performative (almost pantomime) faux-edgy and faux-dark metal cosplay aesthetics, and straining to seem all doomy.... is absolutely not getting it at all. At all. It's like if Michael Bay directed a remake of 'Apocalypse Now' . I'm sure the intent is heartfelt, but it cheapens the song with overcooked gurning and melodrama.
Not what I expected when I first heard they'd covered this classic, but goddamn is it good! Already lost track of how many times I''ve listened to this
And the sign said "The prophets have written on the subway walls and tenement halls". Reminds me of when Bob Dylan went to the Vatican. The ushers kept him from approaching Pope John Paul II (now St John Paul II). The Pope put his arm out to block the usher and reached out for Dylan saying "Let the prophet come". He knew from the words and soul of Dylan that he was a prophet. True story. I think this version of Songs of Silence is really speaking to peoples souls. It does mine.

Forgetting Iron Maiden? Honestly though David is a fantastic baritone singer that doesn't get nearly enough credit for his voice, early on he made some comments that rubbed people the wrong way and until relatively recently a significant amount of the metalhead community wrongfully wrote him off as a cheesy prick. Fantastic singer and especially these days a really cool guy who isn't afraid to admit his mistakes, mad respect for David.

This was always one of my all time favourite songs... but this is now my no. 1! Simon & Garfunkel's wonderful mournful song combined with this guy's gritty, angry vocals and arrangement...WOW!!! Few songs stay relevant nearly 55 years on but the song is even more so in these times of bleak urban decay, social media isolation, and a world where extremes of obscene wealth and abject poverty exist side by side. If S& G's original was a sorrow song for their world, this is a scream of rage for ours!!!
Yeah, he does. Was pretty amazing seeing them now 17 years ago in concert for their first Album. They're among the few bands I know that are just as good in concert as through any other medium. Ozzy Osbourne is as well, and he was there as well for that concert (Music As A Weapon tour), along with Rob Zombie.
I've always thought the original version was so perfect that I never liked any cover, even live versions didn't hit the same way, but this... holy shit. It brings all the power and sadness of the original, but then takes it home, it's as if S&G's was a pleading for people to listen to the warning, and this starts off with the sad recognition that nobody did listen and then explodes into a desperate anger that nobody ever will, and all the hope from the original is now lost, replaced by... silence. And the visual... the musicians and the writers so close yet so far, the completely dead and abandoned world, once again just reinforces how there is no hope, nobody takes the warning, and all these years later it's all the same, it's all worse. I have goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes, I don't remember the last time a song moved me this much.
Hello dear. I believe The sound of silence is your favorite song of mine which was released on December 7th 2015 ( 07/12/2015) well let me know your favorite song of mine. Look on my description on my page here you will see my private link 😊
Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."'
@@Spectrum_Country1028 Best wishes to you, to be able to break through that silence, and make progress in communications. If you've never heard it, listen to a song called "Father and Son", by Cat Stevens. It might help you, and your father. Best wishes
This song has helped me push through PTSD and depression and had made me carry on. My parents have tried to understand but it is hard for them…the power in this song…it’s beautiful to me and whenever I listen to it, for once everything settles away and I’m just one with the music. He has such a power in his voice that is rarely heard today
First time i've seen the video, what a powerful epic song, think its going to go on my list of all time favourites. Glad this has helped you and hope you are all good, Depression is still a stigma and only understood if you have had it yourself...
Hello I am a Viet Nam vet age 72, have fought depression all of my life have tried suicide 2 times, did not make it. My heart is with you, even though I am a stranger to you, I have been to hell and never got back.
@@sonny9161 Thank You. Sonny. So difficult to relate to people on the internet, we are all strangers here, But your kind words back to me, have me in tears, Thank You.💖💖

I'm not sure if you guys read these, but just in case, I'm 71 years old, I was about 13 or 14 when Paul Simon wrote this song and it's always been a favorite. When I heard Ya'll "Disturbed" do this cover, I actually had goose bumps from head to toe. by the time it got to the end ,I had tears in my eyes. You "Disturbed" have brought a great deal of justice to this great hit, and will carry it's legacy for many, many years. Out of the millions of views of this video, I'm sure at least 1000 are mine. The words to the song, mean as much or more now than when written, so many years ago. Even though I'm not a Metal fan, I will always cherish your version. To say this old man is obsessed with this cover, would be a gross understatement, Carry on, and God Bless ya, and THANK YOU, from a Fan, In Tennessee.

Your light is bright enough to see from New Jersey.
AGREE 100%! Simply, SIMPLE & BRILLIANT....
Cheers sir - good music transcends time and generations indeed.
Cheers from the other side of the world!!
This was one of the favorite songs of my dad, and thanks to it he discovered Disturbed, which then became one of his most favorite music bands ever. He passed away 12 days ago, after 6 weeks of fighting Covid-19. And this song played at his funeral. I love you, Dad. And I miss you so, so much.
I'm so sorry your loss. ❤️
He now resides with the profits and God almighty.
Im sorry to hear that.. I know the feeling, the pain never fades, but in time you'll become numb and it becomes easier but the man who raised me has been gone for 7 years now and i still cry every time i see his photo in my wallet or talk about him even this post actually took a good 15 min to fight nack tears but i wont let his name be forgotten in my lifetime it was Billy Carl Tresner
So i hope you are handling your loss better then i did but i remember the ancient Egyptians believed that we all die twice. The first death is body. The second one. is the last time someone speaks your name.

My condolences. RIP.
If mankind was ever to get wiped out, I pray that this song survived somewhere/somehow for whatever/whoever came next to discover.
It's not if, it's when
ಠ_ಠ touché, I concur lol
Man this comment😔
You just blew my mind.
Well friends, that time may be upon us......
I leave my comment here so that every time someone "likes" I get a notification and it reminds me that I have to come listen to this great song again..
I am 72. When l first heard this version, it was over the radio...and my entire body reacted! I had grown up with the first...even remember the boyfriend who sang it to me on his guitar....but this video! This artist!
Haunting...and the words of the prophets are written on...
Now the words of the prophets are being heard...l certainly hear them! Wow...
I feel them😔🥺
Thanks for your comment honey!❤
Eu vou curtir, pra você voltar e ouvir que está 😢canção faz meu❤ sangrar abraços de uma Brasileira que teve o coração machucado
Omg such a good idea! Did you just think of it? Or did u read this same comment on like 5000 other songs and copy it?
@@drake.707😂 damn bro, harsh but probably true
I grew up with the original & this version stirs my soul.
This song brings me back to lonely nights staring at the stars while deployed in Iraq in 04.... the sounds of gunfire and choppers overhead overlapped by the sounds of silence in my own head while watching the stars wishing for a peace I couldn't observe......
thank you for this masterpiece...
I hope you well, my friend!
Ohl Matthew what an experience you so many soldiers all over the world had to go through. Hope and pray these effects are less than lessened over the years for you and everyone else who lived through war like my moms family moved back to Greece in twenties and stayed throughout world War II in the 40s. She went to three wars the ones the Italians. The Germans and then the Civil War made by the communist up till 1949 when they were brought back to America because they were natural born citizens by the state department.. Mon still had those nightmares up till the 60s. Now she's gone and those nightmares are gone too. And my dad was drafted when he was 35 years old and had a heart attack during the blitzgred in London that partly disabled him. I wish you more peace over the years take care brother thank you
Oh dear friend George, your history is even worse. I hope you live well these days...
Sad that humankind still has to fight wars I pray for all of us
I can’t imagine. I am
Glad you endured this
His voice is so incredibly soft and powerful at the same time.
I remember when I first heard this version on the morning radio. It was a couple of months after my father's sudden death. My dad had been a Simon and Garfunkel fan. I listened to this cover and had to pull to the side of the road as I was bawling my eyes out. It was cathartic. Thank you for helping me grieve with this song.
Wow! The fact that there is something
God: Would you like to sing like an angel or a demon?
David Draiman: Yes please
Sorry for your lose! Live every day like dad is behind you, and make him proud because of you. I can't even imagine to lose someone from my close family, but I am fightting with my own... because I don't have time for them and I know I will regret once.
@@daviddocekal9089 thank you. I'm still learning to live without him.

Hi
I lost my elderly mum just over 4 months ago. I used to play music to her regularly of which she loved this song by Disturbed. She was 92 yrs old and had vascular dementia. Makes me cry when I hear this song but I know she is around in love and spirit.
I'm sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful song to remember her by
If she was 92 years old I can tell you right the fuck now, she did not like the that group of players. Simon and Garfunkel was who played this song. Not that shit crap remake of garbage
I believe she's still around you. She still loves you.❤
Sorry for your loss, may she be resting in peace, may her memory bring you more smiles than tears.
so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 2 years ago and it's as fresh today as it has ever been. Think of the happiness your mum felt in those moments you shared, let that joy into your heart and feel the happiness she must have experienced. You gave her that.
For my people, my city, coffins parading in army trucks ... without the greeting of their loved ones ... only tears in solitude. I love you Bergamo ... we will rise stronger than before
Our prayers are with you Italy, hugs from Ireland.
Much love and light to you
My brother worked in Italy, i went to pick him up in Rijeka,Croatia, when he crosssed border there.He Is well, and doing fine.Now we are quarantined,and i just wanted to listen to this song,,,
Stay strong Italy.. My prayers for you are strong just like my prayers for my Croatia.. 🙏🙏💓💓

When I was a teenager back in the 70's I recall my dad saying that in 20 years the young people would laugh at my music just like I laughed at his. Now 50 years later I see kids listening to Led Zepplin and wearing Pink Floyd t-shirts and singing "Sound of Silence" I gotta say, Dad (RIP) you know I love you but they don't laugh at our music, they just remake it.
Amen!!!
I'm a 2000s kid, and yes accurate but I prefer your version. I wish I was born in the 70s.
I think you're just like your father - generalising "young people" as if it's a single person.
Absolutely.
My grandson wishes he was born late 60s...early 70s.
I'm 74 ....was in NYC when the song was released.Now I'm on the other side of the world but the sound of silence of NYC. still ringing in my ears and ever will be.Your
version really reflection the current.
Hello, darkness, my old friend.
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone.
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking.
People hearing without listening.
People writing songs that voices never share.
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools," said I, "You do not know:
Silence, like a cancer, grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you,"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said,
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whispered in the sound of silence."
Yes.. Simon Garfunkel sure could write songs...
Nice👌
Coolio
Real mvp

Wish I could thank you enough for the pleasure u guys gave my husband in his last moments of life he insisted that he listened to u as he took his last breath so from the bottom of my heart thank you guys x
God bless you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing well now ❤️❤️
Soul stirring.
God bless you
What a way to leave this world! Its a beautiful song and I can understand your husband's last request. I'm so very sorry. God bless you 💙
his voice is so powerful
... and live!
AHMED MAKAROV nice!!
+ThatHorseGirl ^_^
Yeah, it's unreal...
Es una hermosa canción que me llega al corazón ❤️
I don't think this was meant to be an actual prophecy but, each time I hear the words it sounds more and more like a warning for today.
It was a warning from long ago but revisited bc the first time no one heeded the warning
It's how prophecy is made most of the time. Unintentionally
Insane coincidence right when I read over the word "prophecy" in your comment, he sang "and the prophets". Coincides like are so scary
@wilpse Its marveling and scary when it happens. 'synchronicity". Peace
There are Gifts of the Spirit that are bestowed on mankind from his creator, and one of those is Prophecy. If you find yourself interested in this, there are real time prophecies being fulfilled in america and in the world that were spoken about by prophet named Kim Clement. It says in the Word that all should prophecy. Side-note : there is also a calling much like if someone is called -anointed and appointed- by God to become a missionary or a pastor, one can also be prophetic and be called into the “office of a prophet”. This would be similar to the prophets of the bible who dealt with country’s & kings regarding words of knowledge and foresight from God. Kim Clement had that, and even though he has passed on his prophetic words are still being heard. He has a pattern on a 10 year window of time from when he spoke out a prophetic word and us seeing that word in real time happening. Some of his prophetic words spoken on year 2014 are coming to pass just now in america. Even if you are not a christian i still recommend checking out his prophecy’s in fact there is a archive of kim clement people should check it out.
Experienced. That is the only word to describe hearing this song. You don’t “listen” to it. You don’t dance to it. You EXPERIENCE it. S&G gave us the poetry, David Draiman gave us the warning.
...and re-experience it.
You become it.
Listening to something is a form of experience though
YES PERFECT DESCRIPTION
Exactly
Paul Simon who wrote this song (and who wrote all the songs-lyrics and music for Simon & Garfunkel) apparently saw Disturbed performing this song on a late night show and contacted the band saying he was very impressed by their "powerful " performance of this song.
I remember he told disturbed once that "this was his song now, not mine"
@JamesRichmond yeah and David was crying it got emotional
I think that most artists don't get upset, when they see another band doing one of their old songs. If anything, it should be flattering to know that your message is still relevant, even if the actual way it is sung, gets updated to a more modern beat and rhythm. In most cases, it is easily recognizable as derived from the original, with many of the basic patterns of notes and melodies being maintained, if slightly altered in tempo and range. This song is a perfect example of that and it goes to show, that another artists vision of the song, can even improve it, from the point of view of the younger generation and sometimes, even the original generation of listeners. However, there will always be those who prefer the original. I like both versions, but Disturbed's version is better, in my opinion. I think the power of the voice behind the message is what Paul recognized. The message was given strength.
Trent Reznor from NIN said the same thing to Johnny Cash about the song "Hurt." At first Reznor was a little put out because of how personal the song was to him but after he heard Cash sing it and saw his video for it he told him this is no longer my song it's yours.
Nowadays , nobody can just cover a song in a late night show without asking the copyright question .
This story seems a bit constructed ...
It's 2023 and it's still a masterpiece! It never goes out of style. Years later and it's still one of the best songs ever written.
It was originally released in 1964 by Simon and Garfunkel, they were absolute masters of their time.
Je confirme.Cette chanson est magnifique et la voix est parfaite👍👏👏
I've always listen to this when I was 9 I'm 13
Same still listening this 2023
@@ivyivee1042 I heard it when I was 21 .....now I'm 80 . This version, with the great voice , emotion and video brings an awesome dimension to Pauls song . Bravo !
I can’t stop listening I’m a 70s child too. Dad made us listen to Italian Opera, followed by a dose of Glen Campbell. Set me up for life. Disturbed sound of silence is just sheer genius xx
Gives me chills...his voice is so amazing...the band executed the song PERFECTLY
I just seen him a few weeks ago play this at Madison Square Garden sounds awesome
Triple PhD by 23 lol but he's a rockstar.,. Dudes unreal
First time I heard Disturbs mix on this song I was amazed. I'm an old school girl who thought Disturbed was a heavy metal band. Boy was I wrong.
It’s quite a deep song and I enjoyed it totally…you have a beautiful smile! 😍 my name is Austin tho can we text on private emails ?
!!!WHAT!!!!,,,,😱😱😱🫢🫢,,,HIS VOICE ITS WHAT,??,,,,,IN WHICH PLANET YOU LEAVE AT???,,,,,, JESUS CHRIST,,,,,,,IF YOU CALL THAT AMAZING,,,,,I WONDER,,,,,,,, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOKO ONO VOICE,,,,,🫢🫢🫢😱😱,,,,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,,,,I JUDGE THIS DEPRESING, AND I HAVE TAKE A 💩💩 I VERY TIME I HEARD SOMEONE LISTENING TO IT🫢🫢😱😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This version of Simon and Garfunkel's song echoes the times in which we now find ourselves... Dark, disturbing and full of rage.
I love David's voice, absolutely flawless.
I'll respect your privacy, Pardon me for writing in your comment am impressed by your personality. I admire your kind demeanour. I mean It's quite impressive the way you expressed yourself, and I can tell you are an easygoing person someone worth spending time with. sorry if this sounds weird, but I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends.
Which is why Disturbed's version is so perfect. Unbelievable!
If you like THIS version...go find the one from Conan O'Brian's talk show. If at all possible, play it through a really good sound system...one that'll rattle your bones a little. I simply can not get past that first lift without sobbing uncontrollably. Very few pieces of music can do that to me. I'm not going to do it tonight, because I've had a long day and, truthfully, it's a bit exhausting to listen to and watch. But, damn, when I need an emotional cleanse...David Draiman, on that night, sick as a dog with a high fever, (as the legend goes) threw a performance that belongs upon Mount Olympus...but it was given to us mere mortals!
I am 70 y/o. Sang this song in chorus in HS. This is my favorite version! What a voice!
@@Bluswede Have you heard, or if you remember, Night Running by Mike & The Mechanics from 86?, Another that's been being played often, as IT WAS WRITTEN FOR WHAT WAS KNOWN TO BE COMMING, WHICH IS NOW, Especially since 2020 ! 🤨🌎🇺🇸🦅⚖️😉😎, WWG1WGA&QA's2/ P.T.'s 3%'rs, MacChaughleh, M.A.G.'r Yet, & ALL Countries, Ayuh
I still can't get over how damn good this version is, not something at all I expected from Disturbed.
Or literally from any other singers!!
Well, he WAS classically trained according to him. He just feels most comfortable doing metal I guess
That’s right.
David may never really know how beautiful and powerful his voice is. This version brought meaning to the song, I lost my sister to cancer, may God bless those who have fought, lost and won the victory of this dreaded disease.
i know right
lol
I love how he builds from quiet to loud at the end I'm listening on a loop and will say like this more than the original
Wow, this is astonishly powerful. I've been a hardcore Paul Simon fan my entire life and know next to nothing about Disbturbed, and this is easily the best cover I've ever heard of any of his songs. Definitely in the top five of covers, period. Like others have said, it gave me goosebumps and left me with tears in my eyes.
it's quite simply the most remarkable vocal performance I've ever heard!
I would like to know your other top 4 covers. Yes this is incredible
Listen to Colm Mcguiness cover version, its amazing also.
Its really good
@Ben Sturm I would put Bad Wolves' performance of Zombie cover for The Cranberries in my top 5.
This is amazing! Simon & Garfunkel very rarely allow their music to be sang by artists or remade. They must have loved this version.
Thanks for the information. That is very interesting.
From what I've heard Paul Simon loved this cover.
once its been written sung released anyone can sing it
@@nearlythere1957 yeah and get sued if you don’t have permission from the record company or the artist you can’t just steal someone’s art lol
@@aaronbeltran You don't need permission to record someone else's song. You just have to pay songwriting royalties

Same with me man i can feel you.
You be safe out there too
Be safe. Everything will be alright
A tjing
That voice. At once like a tumbling rocky river and then like a sheet of water over glass.
I’ll be honest. When I first heard that Disturbed made a cover of this song, I was highly sceptical. I love Disturbed, but hearing that they were doing a song by Simon and Garfunkel left me thinking that they were going to end up butchering the original. But then I went in and listened to this song and, let me just say, I was blown away. I’ve now heard this song more times than I can count and everytime I hear it, it’s just as amazing as when I first heard it. I will always love Disturbed, regardless of what other people say.
You're absolutely right. I love it.
💕🌹🎶
Sad to say but I actually like this version better than the original and I'm not one for remakes.
It's an awesome take on the original. In fact it's better.
Couldn't agree more! I usually hate covers, along with movie remakes. This is the exception! There is so much power and depth, so much more than the original. I'm old, remember the lyrics to most S&G songs lol.
Hate to admit that I prefer this but I do! Listen to it 2 or 3 times daily lol.
Amazing voice and the video is wonderfully dark, just perfect
AHHH HIS VOICE IS SO POWERFUL....YET PEACEFUL AND MOTIVATIONAL IN EVERY WAY....AHHH

ok
I'm 66. I was a 6-year-old girl when the debut album was released with this song on it. The song has resonated throughout my life and then when I saw this video I was struck dumbfoundead in so many ways. I watched it again tonight and it reminds me precisely of a book we were assigned to read in grade 10 english. A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller. A post-apocalyptic novel. If you even read the description you will see what I mean. So many of us from that time period are commenting here because we know what life was then, what it is now and what it will be in the future. 😢
I'm 65- right there with you! 💙
This is the most beautiful rendition of this song I've ever heard. SO much more intensity and feeling than the 'gentle' original..
paul greenwood being honest I prefer the original.
It's just a matter of taste. The message itself, instead of original or a cover, is beautifull. And there it's end at the songwriter. Songs like this...is just a tribute in my eyes.
nemisim si
I don't disagree with you, but the original was also awesome. There are a LOT of covers floating around and I find this one I would put on my playlist, whilst most others I would not bother with.
eh i like em both, without the original they could have never make this cover but, i agree this version is amazing, and unique to the original.
The depth of his voice gives the song some mystery and beauty
@Cryo well that's your opinion, to me and many others sounds incredible, so better not say that as a fact.
Yes
Can't decide if I like this or the original better, but damn he has an incredible vocal range.
Totally beautiful x
@@jharedflores1364 that guy didn't say it as a fact though
Disturbed absolutely rocked this song. This song sends chills down your arms everytime and brings a tear to your face one of the most powerful songs ever made
The real one was in 1964 he just took most of the words
Well I'll be damned.... those things never happen to me when I hear it. I must be listening to it wrong
@@gaminggangster7578 no shit, it was a cover
But it is a great cover and reflects the times were in today if you listen to the lyrics closely

82 yr old, OMG, no words to describe how this song makes me feel! I listen to it every day. Thank you! 4:01
I love how it starts like a calm breeze and ends like a thunderstorm. Draiman really fucking nails it perfectly! Bravo! \m/,
It's called crescendo effect in music.
I love CaptainBlagbird's poetic description of how I felt the first time I ever heard David sing this song. However, I also respect the technical description musically with David's mind blowing vocal gifts. What a crescendo it is..........🤘👍
I grew up with the S&G version. This rendition is actually better, though, to be fair, he has the benefit of music technology they didn't have. But he's absolutely brought the goods here.
3 years have passed and people are still commenting on how wonderful this song is. Well, they aren't wrong ❤️
This Song is a master piece 😍

That video of the soldier training training the dog is what brought me here. So thank that creator too.
Near to 5 million physical viewers so its analogically 200 times per person in 8 years so 2800 days. So 2 views per month?
haha yeah...
Oh shit...I got a whole new meaning out of this cover. His intensity and deepness brought more of a frustrated and angry feel for the state of humanity. I just love how the lyrics are so applicable decades after this song was first written - I have a feeling it will be applicable for years to come.
Liz Xu actually the fact that it will still be relevant decades later is what makes it so haunting.
Liz Xu. I couldn't agree more. Paul Simon rolling into New York at the youbg age of what. 21. When he witnessed and took in, and then wrote of his experiences. Yes more anger and frustration in the state of humanity decades later, sad in itself. When I first heard of this remake I didn't think I would care for it. I was wrong and can't quite listening to it again. Perfect tribute to a genius's work of art.
Liz Xu agreed
There will be a time when we'll not sing any songs but still be as frustrated about the state of humanity as you were while listening to this song. That time is near. I only hope that I don't make it to that time ever.
Liz Xu to be fair it kinda pisses me off that this song is still relevant half a century later
It's 2024 and I'm back at this song, trying to have energy for a new year. All of my friends are enjoying new year, and I'm sitting in a room next to them crying, trying to convince myself that I do not want to die today, I didn't eat in 2 days, but this song gave me hope again and I will try to do better.Thank you for this beautiful song, it was a shit year and the next one i hope to be better.
If everyone feels the same as me, let's try to be positive and see the new year as a new chance.
Happy new year
Stay strong brother 💪
I hope you know you matter, your loved, and cared for. You're needed in this world. I hope you find peace within yourself this year. I know it's hard, but hold on, love, you aren't alone, even when you are. There's a world full of people that understand how you feel. 🫶🫶🫶
Stay strong! Stay in silence! But still hear it's sound! You will overcome this!! Trust God!!🙏
I hear you. Lost my mom in September. Sister hasn't talked to me. My daughter and my grandkids won't talk to me. I wish I knew why. All I have is silence.

I noticed the other day the doomsday clock was set to 90 seconds from midnight. I pray before humanity goes any further we can stop ourselves. Just learn to love for 1 day. It breaks my heart seeing my nephew laughing an playing with his toy buzz lightyear an that night having to watch on the news how everyone's launching missiles an threatening nuclear war. Have we truly become so heartless .
Here because my stepdad that died. He treated me better than my actual dad. He was there for me when i was done and everything. This song played at my moms funeral and i remember looking at my mom and just see her burst into tears. This song hits hard

Why is there something called death :(
So sorry

I'm 62 years old. I had become a Disturbed fan with Down with the Sickness and Paul Simon had been my main man since I was 10. I was so effing ecstatic when you covered this fantastic Simon and Garfunkel song!
Agreed. 100%
Same here. My dad always played Simon and Garfunkel and collected Paul Simon's work there after. Always my fav then in my teens I discover Disturbed and just fell in love with their sound then they do this song..Fell over the moon with this one. I love love love this song💖💖💖💖
I read that Paul Simon was really pleased with this cover. It's amazing!

Ich liebe den Song und den Sänger. Kommt leider morgens sehr selten im Radio wenn ich zur Arbeit fahre. Aber wenn, drehe ich voll auf und total durch...Kein Mensch kann da ruhig im Sitz bleiben ...❤❤
I'm a fairly big music snob, especially when it comes to covers. Simon & Garfunkel are iconic. David Draiman gave this song absolute justice. I've always adored the original (and still do), but Draiman's version is chilling. It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, and that takes a real artist. Thank you for creating this amazing rendition, David. Incredibly beautiful.
+Wednesday Camille I need to listen to this and see the video every few days, since I discovered it a few months ago. You describe my own reaction quite well. Such power!
+Wednesday Camille yes I could almost "cut and paste" your post...as an old skool S'nG' fan...I feel there are certain songs, certain things in life, that you just don't fu## with...unless you do it very, very well. And yes! DISTURBED does these classic -remakes like they were meant to in some cosmic prophecy fortold. This is what they do, and they do it better than anyone...LAND OF CONFUSION was more about hard driving power, here in SOUND OF SILENCE - the errie, yet beautiful, haunting sound blended niceley with the power of the vocals/power of the words with beautiful creshendos of cybals and timpani...:)
+Wednesday Camille I so agree.
Absolutely agree

“The music is not in the notes,
but in the silence between.”

That is an incredibly deep quote from an incredibly talented man
i agree with you he was A pure genius!!
This is a line that with a change in words means a lot to a depressed person like myself, life, is not measured in the number of breaths you take, but the number of moments that take your breath away-benjerman Franklin

Just kidding. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Uhh, are they going to serve liquor at the wake?
That's funny but disturbing lol
😂😂😂
My mams funeral is in 2 weeks and this song is playing as the curtains close. I will be rocking out with her by my side as it does
I was at a funeral last week,this song by this artist was playing when the coffin was taken out. It was a large funeral, possibly 200 people there, emotional doesn't come close to what I witnessed with this song, the perfect tune in that situation.

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

True!
An an anthem of sorts!
Sin lugar a dudas
I turned 67 this past year, and I well remember summer afternoons in the hayloft, with my tiny little turquoise transistor radio that my older Sis had bought to me....listening to Simon and Garfunkel. This song shook me then...and this version shakes me more. It is pure perfection.
Four years later and this still makes me shiver.
Singing along with it gives me goosebumps
This will never get old. Goosebumps every time I hear it.
Ditto!!! Its so deep...get to your soul...need more of this 'real soul' expression...LOVE IT
Hasn’t been four years. Barely been three
@@ryansanders829
Its a cover of a old song
I'm always skeptical when it comes to S&G covers. I tend to regard them as ... almost sacred, not to be messed with... but, this cover - I love it. You totally GET the song. The feeling, the emotion, the meaning, everything. This is truly a magnificent interpretation.
the Bangles did a hell of a cover of hazy shade of winter in the 80s
This song was my intro to Simon and Garfunkel way back in their '60s....it meant so much to me then but this is a transformation...POWERFUL!!!!
Agree
I couldn't disagree more, but repsect you opinion. For me, I think replacing the very REAL and subtle meditation on REAL death, wth the performative (almost pantomime) faux-edgy and faux-dark metal cosplay aesthetics, and straining to seem all doomy.... is absolutely not getting it at all. At all. It's like if Michael Bay directed a remake of 'Apocalypse Now' . I'm sure the intent is heartfelt, but it cheapens the song with overcooked gurning and melodrama.
@@pietslabbert4237Hello 👋
Not what I expected when I first heard they'd covered this classic, but goddamn is it good! Already lost track of how many times I''ve listened to this

+DJ Bisogno Same. I am 65 and after hearing this I have begun to listen to their other stuff! New appreciation.
+DJ Bisogno One of the best cover songs I have heard in a long time. Better by a long shot than even tesla's sign which I thought was very good.
What you said.
+DJ Bisogno I have had this on repeat since 2015.
And the sign said "The prophets have written on the subway walls and tenement halls". Reminds me of when Bob Dylan went to the Vatican. The ushers kept him from approaching Pope John Paul II (now St John Paul II). The Pope put his arm out to block the usher and reached out for Dylan saying "Let the prophet come". He knew from the words and soul of Dylan that he was a prophet. True story. I think this version of Songs of Silence is really speaking to peoples souls. It does mine.
But then Dylan openly said the he has a deal with the lord chief of the otherworld 🙃
Dylan sold out...caved to the enemy that controls the earth. Peace though.

Ty, his singing can be hard to decipher:P

Wow, mixed opera-like singing and a metal vocalist's voice combined...so it really is possible 😮
Forgetting Iron Maiden? Honestly though David is a fantastic baritone singer that doesn't get nearly enough credit for his voice, early on he made some comments that rubbed people the wrong way and until relatively recently a significant amount of the metalhead community wrongfully wrote him off as a cheesy prick. Fantastic singer and especially these days a really cool guy who isn't afraid to admit his mistakes, mad respect for David.
Most properly trained metal singers can actually.
Nice infos. Thanks guys ❤

Me too! Incredible!!
This was always one of my all time favourite songs... but this is now my no. 1! Simon & Garfunkel's wonderful mournful song combined with this guy's gritty, angry vocals and arrangement...WOW!!! Few songs stay relevant nearly 55 years on but the song is even more so in these times of bleak urban decay, social media isolation, and a world where extremes of obscene wealth and abject poverty exist side by side. If S& G's original was a sorrow song for their world, this is a scream of rage for ours!!!
Speaks to my heart thx
@gaming paradise Thanks for that... glad I'm not the only one to feel this way :)
@@glendayarbrough6664 Agreed Thanks Glenda :)

He has such a powerful voice. Sends shivers down my spine
Metal vocalists are underrated.
Yeah, he does. Was pretty amazing seeing them now 17 years ago in concert for their first Album. They're among the few bands I know that are just as good in concert as through any other medium. Ozzy Osbourne is as well, and he was there as well for that concert (Music As A Weapon tour), along with Rob Zombie.
It's incredible how smoothly he goes from a calm and deep range, to a strong raspy voice
Body's aching all the time?
@Kayden Shippey calm down
I've always thought the original version was so perfect that I never liked any cover, even live versions didn't hit the same way, but this... holy shit. It brings all the power and sadness of the original, but then takes it home, it's as if S&G's was a pleading for people to listen to the warning, and this starts off with the sad recognition that nobody did listen and then explodes into a desperate anger that nobody ever will, and all the hope from the original is now lost, replaced by... silence. And the visual... the musicians and the writers so close yet so far, the completely dead and abandoned world, once again just reinforces how there is no hope, nobody takes the warning, and all these years later it's all the same, it's all worse. I have goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes, I don't remember the last time a song moved me this much.
This is brilliant, awesome and otherworldly! I was in my teens when this was first released. This is better!
Nailed it (sadly)

I loved the original Simon and Garfunkel version, but, young Man, youve elevated this beautiful song. Bravo!!
He sure has.
100% the original was good, but this is on another level.. absolutely amazing vocal work.
He did a fantastic job.
This cover is decent, but nothing tops the OG's S&G for me.
Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."'
Love it! Orchestra!!;)
This is exactly me with my father.
@@Spectrum_Country1028 Best wishes to you, to be able to break through that silence, and make progress in communications. If you've never heard it, listen to a song called "Father and Son", by Cat Stevens. It might help you, and your father.
Best wishes
Its possible to play this song and see some people get uncomfortable, these are the people who cannot love themselves or others....
This song has helped me push through PTSD and depression and had made me carry on. My parents have tried to understand but it is hard for them…the power in this song…it’s beautiful to me and whenever I listen to it, for once everything settles away and I’m just one with the music. He has such a power in his voice that is rarely heard today
First time i've seen the video, what a powerful epic song, think its going to go on my list of all time favourites. Glad this has helped you and hope you are all good, Depression is still a stigma and only understood if you have had it yourself...
