When Paul Simon heard Disturbed perform this one at the Conan O'Brien show he tweeted it was his favorite version and not only that he further stated that this song now belongs to Disturbed!! That gotta be the highest form of compliment one could ever get!
I love the text commentary rather than pausing to speak. Best idea of a reaction I've seen. Edit: I am aware that pausing is a way to prevent copyright strikes and I'm sure this isn't an original idea, but I still think it's the best.
This same comment appears on every single reaction to this song at least ten times. It was there on the first one, years ago. How about don't write it if you didn't come up with it?
@@austinw678You think you know me? I don’t plagiarize other people’s comments. I don’t need steal others thoughts. Nice, trying to drag someone. Get a life.
No, no, no! If you didn’t live in that generation you don’t understand the “true” meaning of this song. This song was about the Vietnam War. The electronics future we could have cared less about, that was your problem. The war was never ending. People hated it. Instead of soldiers coming home to praise for their service they were spit on. I could go into each line for the reasoning of it but it would take to line. Example: neon lights splitting the night, that is bombs lighting the sky. Simon even said in an interview many, many years ago. I know, I lived it.
This song is 58 years old. I listened to the original as a kid in the 60's - 70's. I became a Disturbed fan 21years ago and have loved everything they have ever done. But when they did this cover it blew me away. I loved your honest reaction. Wonderful to watch. Thank you....
Best reaction video ever. I really enjoyed how you didn't keep pausing it to interject. I loved watching your face. Great job! BTW, I can not listen to that song without being overcome by emotions.
Each verse of the song could potentially have several layers of meaning, and your interpretation would be as good as anybody else's. At its core, however, the song is a social commentary about the inability of people to really connect with each other on an emotional level. Amazing how way back in 1964, Paul Simon saw that people were paying more attention to technology rather than each other. How much more do we worship the neon god today?! You wondered about the boat. Disturbed took a bit more literal interpretation of the lyrics in this video. You see musicians picking up long-disused musical instruments. They had been silent for a long time. Then you see the songwriters in a place where no one could hear their songs. They were trapped in silence because there was no music for their songs. Then you see the musicians on a boat bringing their instruments and music to the songwriters. Their songs can now be heard. A detail that can be easily missed is the very last scene where you see the rising sun behind the boat. Finally, the long night of silence is about to be broken.
This was a number one hit by Simon and Garfunkel in the 60s, and an all time great song and this cover was better than the original which was phenomenal Now watch Disturbed: Down With the Sickness. You will not believe it is the same guy and group
I agree that this version of the song is way better than the original. The message is more powerful than when it was first delivered by Simon and Garfunkel!
And the people bowed & prayed to the neon god they made.. (I think of how people obsess over their smartphones with social media, heads bowed to the neon screen, people talking without speaking, *they are texting* people hearing without listening, *reading text messages* people writing songs that voices never share.. And no one dared disturb the sound of silence) And it reminds me of how my mother and father warned me and my siblings of the dangers of too much tv or smartphone time.. people become zombies in their own world of electronic reality.. This song really speaks to me. Lovely reaction!
I think the lines, People talking without speaking, and, people hearing without listening, relate to the times also back then when the song was written. With todays technology, the meaning also relates. I think the deeper meaning is how people talk to others, yet talk of things that have no real meaning or value. People talking just to hear their own voice, or to impress others. People saying listen to me Isn't what i am saying cool, or does it impress you?. Other people are hearing without actually listening to what the other person is saying. More like, hurry up and shutup and listen to me!
The first time I heard this on the radio it brought me to tears. I then HAD to listen to it nearly 100 more times to really take in all what he was saying. That in this informational age we have lost the ability to interact with each other whether through song and art or simply talking to one other. And he is almost rage grieving for it.
I hope you know that Simon and Garfunkel wrote and performed the original decades ago. Back then, it was a warning of things to come. The original is softer with great harmony and a bit sad. I prefer the original.
Yeah Woody, I know. I also know that disturbed isn't the first to cover the song. And that Simon of Simon and Garfunkel said in an interview that this version is his favorite and has it on his playlist.
My beautiful child, that's all I have to say. You absolutely blew me away with your reaction. I saw it resonate with you. You have depth. You're amazing. I wish you the best!
It's been said before and I'll say it again... Simon and Garfunkel's version is a warning of things to come Disturbed's version is anger that the warning was ignored.

And that was on Disturbed's channel the day it was released. Glad to see so many people still using it most are different than what i said but pretty close.
people talking at each other instead of to each other. when Paul wrote this I think he was writing about the one way conversation the public was getting from the media. both tv and radio telling us how to think or what to think. the neon god to me was the television. we see it today how media corporations with competing agendas have divided us and that "silence" is the missing conversations we should be having amongst ourselves and finding our common goals and interests and not letting them define us and what we want. they're safe as long as we blame each other and don't look behind the curtain and find them pulling the strings. they can only keep their power if we are divided.
Perfectly said. The song is a warning to the fact that we, all of us are becoming more and more isolated in our own little world, thinking that what we see and hear from the media companies is the truth. We don't try to see for ourselves what is the truth. We don't interact with one another, we don't talk and discuss with our fellow man. And as a result, others are making all the decision for us and sometimes we don't even know it! In my country, using the pandemic, our government has already passed several laws that have taken away civil and labor rights. Rights that were considered common sense for decades now! But because we are all concerned with ourselves and having a good times on our phones and facebook, and because they own the media companies, most of the people didn't learn about this for more than 3 months. And now its too late to try and stop it... That move wouldn't have passed if the people knew about it. If we kept in touch with one another and knew what the hell is going on. That's what this is about. Disconnection and a loss of touch with the real world.
Check out Simon & Garfunkel - "The Sound of Silence". Written by Paul Simon and first released by "Simon & Garfunkel" in 1964. Paul Simon heard this cover and linked it on his own social media, first time he has ever done that with a cover of one of his songs.
@@paulmartin2348. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I heard that Paul Simon hated the post-production changes (percussion, etc) that were made to the original release without his knowledge or consent. He didn't know about the changes until he heard it aired. I don't remember where I read that, though.
@@paulmartin2348 I think April was talking about the post that was done on the original Simon & Garfunkel version, but I agree with what you are saying about the two Disturbed versions (Conan and studio). I really liked the accompaniment on Conan better, but I definitely like the vocals from the studio better.
Don't forget, the Conan video almost didn't happen. He had the flu and was running a high fever. They almost wouldn't let him outside the green room. But he insisted, and and that performance made this song viral. Simon & Garfunkel said it's their song now.
the performance was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! his voice is beautiful and haunting.................the piano stirred the soul and the bass drums punding those two strikes were haunting.........................and the orchestra was the perfect background music for this song.................and your reactions were priceless and you are adorable
I've always enjoyed Draiman's vocals, and I remember rocking out to Disturbed's first two albums, but it's so nice to see others enjoy how versatile this band is. The cover of Land of Confusion is also just fantastic.
You are the only woman on any reaction channel that is so sensual, yet appropriate and respectful. You are as beautiful as the lovely music that you react to, like this wonderful cover of a great song.
Oh wow thanks for your thoughtful comment Rick. Welcome to the PenPal Family 💕 Will you be joining me on my song release on my artist channel this Christmas ruclips.net/channel/UCekeQqLrORzV-GGeXLy9jUw remember to subscribe and turn on the bell on the link so you won’t miss out💕
This song was written in 1963 by Paul Simon. DAVID OF DISTURBED SINGS IT WITH SO MUCH MORE FEELING AND MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN Simon and Garfunkel did. To me this is way better. I am 62 years old. I am very glad that some of the younger people of today are taking time to check out more of the older music. And.that some of the newer groups are redoing them.
Doesn't matter how many times I've listened to this, and how many reactions I've listened to , we are ALL SILENT, and all people who listening (to each other, with our texts) and not hearing. Be well. Be safe.
I love watching people react to this, because they're always struggling for words because they've got so many feelings inside of them when the song is over. \
Great Reaction!!! I've said this before and I'll say it again... A 1965 ('64 first released; a bit of a story actually) The song was written by Paul Simon and re-imagined by Disturbed in 2015; datz 50 years!! For me, this is by far the best song and cover these past 5 years!! This song literally ambushes you... catches everyone by surprise! The powerhouse vocals, the amazing arrangement, etc... just a great song re-imagined by a Heavy Metal band... done right. BTW: You've missed the band "PINK FLOYD" all together when reacting (ouch!!)... one of few bands that are The G.O.A.T. - I myself suggest these EPIC 10 live songs; the studio versions are great too!! : 1) "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" 2) "Hey You" 3) "Us and Them/Any Colour You Like/Brain Damage/Eclipse" (all 4 parts) 4) "High Hopes" 5) "Time/Breathe Reprise" 6) "Dogs" 7) "Sorrow" 8) "Pigs (3 different ones)" 9) "Welcome To The Machine" 10) "The Great Gig In The Sky" * "Comfortably Numb" (everyone has reacted to this one)(best guitar solo/stage design ever) Anything from the live "Pulse" DVD (1994) would be phenomenal!!
David Draiman.....one of the best voices around!! Unparalleled! He can go from baritone to tenor....from clear as a bell to rasp and back ON A DIME!! Unbelievable timber and vibrato!! WOW!! Just beautiful !!
This is my favorite rendition of this song. His interpretation truly brings out the true meaning of the lyrics. Simon and Garfunkel sang to alarm us, Disturbed sings to give us a final warning. You should watch the live performance on Conan when you get a chance. Amazing performance despite the fact that David Draiman had the flu.
This is now one of my favorite songs of all time.. and I can't believe its by DISTURBED... disturbed is like an extreme heavy metal band. The singer has an amazing voice
Hi Soph x💕. Do you know Simon & Garfunkel? I am sure someone will tell you more about them because I haven’t heard the original. But Sound of Silence is by Simon & Garfunkel originally. Someone actually told me after they saw my reaction that these original singers really loved Disturbed Cover of this Song. What are your other favorite songs of all time?
Love how you didn't pause the song every 10 seconds. Give your opinion after. Your emotions listening to this song spoke volumes. You got my subscription.
Awwh thanks Gary Welcome to the PenPal Family💕Have you heard my new song releases?Listen to “Seasons", out now: fanlink.to/-Seasons Listen to “Little Girl In His Presence”, out now: fanlink.to/LittleGirlinHisPresence Leave a comment Subscribe to my artist page also linked. Thanks💕
Your facial reactions say it all !!! This is an amazing cover of a brilliant song, 1st done by Simon & Garfunkel warning us, if we don't change our ways we are headed for destruction, and Disturbs version is angry, because we didn’t listen to the warnings 😌 I always feel this song is like an amazing rollercoaster ride, slowly heading to the top, then almost crashing to the bottom...
I'm 57. I've known of the Simon and Garfunkel version for as long as I can remember. I considered it "OK" but it was not one of my favorites. When I first saw the version you watched, a few months ago, it brought tears to my eyes. Since then, I have enjoyed watching a lot of the reaction videos. Yours was different, though. You paid attention through the whole thing and didn't interrupt the flow. It almost brought a tear again today.
I'm glad you chose this version over the live show. In the live video, David was sick, and even though you probably couldn't tell unless you'd seen this one, there's a marked difference. The original was a warning, way back in the 1960's, and this version has been called the rage that the warning was ignored.
I love the extra care you put into your 'reactions': letting the music play and in post you add your comments graphically. That's a lot of extra work, and I for one appreciate it. Thank you for the extra care!
I grew up with this song by Simon and Garfunkel in my childhood. My dad would listen to them. I was very familiar with this version and even today can get chills from it. I heard Disturbed's version a couple of years ago on internet radio and was.... floored. Yes, like you said, mesmerized. Wow! He has an an amazing voice and I love how he did this song. Very seldom do I enjoy remade versions of songs. This is one of them. As far as the song, I believe? Maybe I'm wrong, Paul Simon wrote it. He writes beautiful poetic style lyrics. Thank you for your video!
Someone who finally gets it!! Love the reaction love the channel Love how you take your time and form your thoughts before you say anything, Great Job also love you don't pause constantly.

Bravo, Bravo….Thank you for speaking without talking throughout the video! Disturbed’s version hits all your musical senses…You see it, feel it, and hear it all in a powerful crescendo into finally uniting the music with the musicians…Brilliant! Thanks for your well felt reaction! I love watching reaction videos of songs that move my soul…However, this cover by ‘Disturbed’ is always stopped for reaction just as it’s building to a new level…99% of male reactors do this, and I have to be honest and descriptive here (wives will understand what I mean🫢)… It’s like the act of physical love being expressed and you are in a rhythmic flow toward a beautiful climax and suddenly… your 6 yo. is knocking on the bedroom door…🙄🫤 Thanks again for your beautiful reaction… 🦋Lily🦋
I really like your breakdown and reaction of the song, both on-screen during and after the video. Plus, the way you take the song apart from a music/musician perspective. Powerful song. Great reaction!
02:44 I love how, by this point, you can tell how enamored you are with this song, simply by the folded hands up against your chin. I, personally, think this is one of the greatest songs ever written, regardless of performer. Glad I subscribed to your channel! looking forward to seeing more of your reactions!
great reaction Mrs. I have been listening to this song by Simon & Garfunkel since it came out and their isn't a time when I see what they sing about going on in the world, then and now. Masterful lyrics that really describe the human condition I think, It's helped me keep perspective and sanity all these years.
Wow! That's my reaction to your reaction. I'm amazed at your grasp of all the aspects of this video. To articulate your thoughts are amazing. And to be as beautiful as you are, only serves to set you above all others.
One: I love how you waited ‘til the end of the song. Two: I love the subtitles explaining your thoughts. Three: love you have your commentary at the end. With that being said; I interpret this song to mean, those who continue with their silence condone the atrocities committed against their fellow man; and the words hang silent meaning the warnings are being ignored.
This was my very first time to watch one of your reviews and it will not be my last! Congratulations! You are one of the only reviewer‘s on the entire Internet that does not stop and start a song multiple times in the three minutes the song is playing for you. You sat quietly and attentive and took in the song without chopping it up 15 times like most do. I will continue to watch your videos if for no other reason than this! Kudos to you young lady! And then gave a great review!!!!!
Unfortunately, due to copyright blocks playing it all through like this is actually not the best practice. People could actually loose their channels for doing this and in the meantime their audience can't see their videos due to the blocks. I have videos like this no one can view them due to Blocks. Armand please, bare with those who paused during the song it is due to these types of penalties. Welcome to the PenPal Family 💕
This is my first time on your channel, and I absolutely love you. Your love of music is infectious, and I really enjoyed how you conveyed that love to us. Thank you, you made my day. ❤️
The original song was written when I was just a little girl of 7. I loved it so much that it's the first song I learned all of the words to. Thank you for reacting.
this cover was done from a perspective of anger at how people ignored the warning from the original song... neon gods is a reference to TV, everyone prays to their TVs instead of communicating and instead of heeding that warning we just replaced TV with cell phones... David said it was supposed to portray his anger about this, he also said it was the hardest song he had ever sung... 680 million views for the video, amazing
This is a fantastic song that I grew up with along with other Simon and Garfunkel songs. Very popular! Many of your other commentators here have already hit on the meaning of the song and I concur, I think that this is written as an observation and even a prophetic song about how things are not as they always should be when it comes to human communication and interaction and we must beware lest it gets worse and worse as time goes on. And yes, we seem to have not learned the lesson well since the 1960s. At least not here in the United States and Europe. I love your reaction as I always do! You have a wholesome interaction with and relation to music and it comes out in every reaction video you do. I love the way you love the music and at the same time want to interact with the message it's communicating as well. You are fantastic as far as I'm concerned! Please continue to observe music. And here's to your next reaction! 🙏🙂❤️
Thanks Russell I have been blessed with PenPals who insist I see these and wow it’s been an amazing journey for me. Glad to hear you love this channel . Thanks for your support. This write up this is very insightful 💕
The rest of your reaction aside, I give you full credit for having one of the most honest and beautiful smiles I think I’ve ever seen. Though I am not trying to detract from the rest of your reaction at all.
Wow I was the same REACTION when I first heard this Song Nearly 5 months ago. 5 months ago My life was changed FOREVER I Lost my Husband to an agressive Bladder Cancer My Whole Life as I Knew it was turned on its Head as I became a Single parent to my Beautiful Special Needs Son and Because I wanted my son to be part of my Husband's Life Celebration Cremation Service I asked him did he have a Special Song he wanted to share with his Dad ànd he picked this song and showed me this Well I was Speachless I to did the same REACTION then I closed my eyes and asked my son to play it again and I knew then this Song was SPECIAL to which My Special Needs Son told me that Dad had shown him the S&G Version (To which I knew my husband loved) and then my son showed his Dad this to which his Dad Loved and they spent many hours Sharing their songs (Tried to out do eachother Well this Song was played at my Husband's Life Celebration Cremation Service and when my son told Why he chose this song and when it was played there wasn't a Dry Eye in the Chapel and No One Disturbed the Sound Of Silence All Because Of a Son's LOVE for his DAD Music 🎶🎶🎶 Songs Speak Louder than a Silent Word and on that day I know this Song touched many HEARTS I know because it Touched Mine and THANK YOU for Sharing Your REACTION to this Song BECAUSE It Showed me that this SONG has Touched so many HEARTS in the Past Present and Future all Because of the LOVE of this SONG MANY Will See to LOVE Life Live it to the full and make a Difference One Day at a Time Because YOU Can 😣😪💔⛈️🌦️🌥️🌤️🌅😘💕❤️🧡💚💜💙✝️🙏😇💌👣🎶👣🎶👣🎶❣️😍💏🤡✝️🌈💙💜💚😁😁😾🐾👣🐾👣🐾🎶💖💗💝✝️😁🌅😁🌅😁🌅💌🙏✝️😁😁
I love watching people get turned on to new music, and have been actively searching for a reactor that doesn't pause and comment. You are the first out of a dozen streamers that I have subbed to. Also, I like how you don;t do the fake "smash that, hit that " sales pitch for likes and subs. Keeo it up, I will be back.

This song is a response to hearing it on the radio for 50 years and still no one is listening still, just conforming.
And the people bowed & prayed to the neon god they made..

You hit the nail on the head exactly everybody has their heads buried in their phones it controls their lives
When he goes from baritone to tenor, I get goosebumps. A resonant baritone to that bell-like tenor, and done so smoothly.
The first time I heard this on the radio it brought me to tears. I then HAD to listen to it nearly 100 more times to really take in all what he was saying. That in this informational age we have lost the ability to interact with each other whether through song and art or simply talking to one other. And he is almost rage grieving for it.

It's been said before and I'll say it again...
Simon and Garfunkel's version is a warning of things to come
Disturbed's version is anger that the warning was ignored.
oh my god, i never realized that, that makes this song so much more sad yet beautiful
100% correct
Yes listening to Disturbed version is like attending a funeral.
YESS! This feels like a desperate cry to hear the warnings, listen!
I was the one that said "Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning of the future,
Disturbed's Cover is the pissed off angry version that the warning was ignored." And that was on Disturbed's channel the day it was released. Glad to see so many people still using it most are different than what i said but pretty close.
Extremely genuine reaction!
Extremely genuine comment 💕

Me: I have to go home, rethink my life.
people talking at each other instead of to each other. when Paul wrote this I think he was writing about the one way conversation the public was getting from the media. both tv and radio telling us how to think or what to think. the neon god to me was the television. we see it today how media corporations with competing agendas have divided us and that "silence" is the missing conversations we should be having amongst ourselves and finding our common goals and interests and not letting them define us and what we want. they're safe as long as we blame each other and don't look behind the curtain and find them pulling the strings.
they can only keep their power if we are divided.
Perfectly said.
The song is a warning to the fact that we, all of us are becoming more and more isolated in our own little world, thinking that what we see and hear from the media companies is the truth. We don't try to see for ourselves what is the truth. We don't interact with one another, we don't talk and discuss with our fellow man. And as a result, others are making all the decision for us and sometimes we don't even know it!
In my country, using the pandemic, our government has already passed several laws that have taken away civil and labor rights. Rights that were considered common sense for decades now! But because we are all concerned with ourselves and having a good times on our phones and facebook, and because they own the media companies, most of the people didn't learn about this for more than 3 months. And now its too late to try and stop it...
That move wouldn't have passed if the people knew about it. If we kept in touch with one another and knew what the hell is going on.
That's what this is about. Disconnection and a loss of touch with the real world.

Even Paul Simon hated their original!
What I heard was that he hated the post-production changes that were made without his knowledge or consent before the recording was released.
@@aprilvoecks5877 The "auto-tune" was done by the Conan show when he sang it live there, not on his own studio version that is this version.
@@paulmartin2348. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I heard that Paul Simon hated the post-production changes (percussion, etc) that were made to the original release without his knowledge or consent. He didn't know about the changes until he heard it aired.
I don't remember where I read that, though.
@@paulmartin2348 I think April was talking about the post that was done on the original Simon & Garfunkel version, but I agree with what you are saying about the two Disturbed versions (Conan and studio). I really liked the accompaniment on Conan better, but I definitely like the vocals from the studio better.
Watch his live performance from Conan. He is really putting his emotions in it
Hi Chris💕
Don't forget, the Conan video almost didn't happen. He had the flu and was running a high fever. They almost wouldn't let him outside the green room. But he insisted, and and that performance made this song viral. Simon & Garfunkel said it's their song now.
Absolutely the best rendition of this song ever. I have never seen anyone sing any song with such clear emotion. Kudos to the arranger.
Hi Chase💕
I cry every time I hear this version of this song, his voice is so powerful .
Hi Annmarie💕
@@MrsPenPal hello thanks for sharing a great song review
the performance was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! his voice is beautiful and haunting.................the piano stirred the soul and the bass drums punding those two strikes were haunting.........................and the orchestra was the perfect background music for this song.................and your reactions were priceless and you are adorable
🌸🌼🦋🚀
I've always enjoyed Draiman's vocals, and I remember rocking out to Disturbed's first two albums, but it's so nice to see others enjoy how versatile this band is. The cover of Land of Confusion is also just fantastic.
Hi Chris 💕
You are the only woman on any reaction channel that is so sensual, yet appropriate and respectful. You are as beautiful as the lovely music that you react to, like this wonderful cover of a great song.
Oh wow thanks for your thoughtful comment Rick. Welcome to the PenPal Family 💕 Will you be joining me on my song release on my artist channel this Christmas ruclips.net/channel/UCekeQqLrORzV-GGeXLy9jUw remember to subscribe and turn on the bell on the link so you won’t miss out💕
@@MrsPenPal: I am sorry that I just saw this. I will click on the link now and see how you get on.
This song was written in 1963 by Paul Simon. DAVID OF DISTURBED SINGS IT WITH SO MUCH MORE FEELING AND MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN Simon and Garfunkel did. To me this is way better. I am 62 years old. I am very glad that some of the younger people of today are taking time to check out more of the older music. And.that some of the newer groups are redoing them.
Doesn't matter how many times I've listened to this, and how many reactions I've listened to , we are ALL SILENT, and all people who listening (to each other, with our texts) and not hearing. Be well. Be safe.
When you listen to this your entire life means nothing his voice is all there is phenomenal
I love watching people react to this, because they're always struggling for words because they've got so many feelings inside of them when the song is over.
\
This song is indeed time stopping so intense
Love your reaction!
Thanks De welcome to the PenPal Family 💕
Social media is the well of silence, we get no tone, we are mesmerized by the (neon) light of our phones. We speak to each other without hearing
Exactly
"There's a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in." -- Leonard Cohen, 'Anthem'
That's deep Peckish💕
I've listened to the version a million times and it gives me chills every time.
I love both versions of this song, but they put sooo much emotion in this. It's hard to beat
Great Reaction!!! I've said this before and I'll say it again... A 1965 ('64 first released; a bit of a story actually) The song was written by Paul Simon and re-imagined by Disturbed in 2015; datz 50 years!! For me, this is by far the best song and cover these past 5 years!! This song literally ambushes you... catches everyone by surprise! The powerhouse vocals, the amazing arrangement, etc... just a great song re-imagined by a Heavy Metal band... done right.
BTW: You've missed the band "PINK FLOYD" all together when reacting (ouch!!)... one of few bands that are The G.O.A.T.
- I myself suggest these EPIC 10 live songs; the studio versions are great too!! : 1) "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" 2) "Hey You" 3) "Us and Them/Any Colour You Like/Brain Damage/Eclipse" (all 4 parts) 4) "High Hopes" 5) "Time/Breathe Reprise" 6) "Dogs" 7) "Sorrow" 8) "Pigs (3 different ones)" 9) "Welcome To The Machine" 10) "The Great Gig In The Sky"
* "Comfortably Numb" (everyone has reacted to this one)(best guitar solo/stage design ever)
Anything from the live "Pulse" DVD (1994) would be phenomenal!!
best reaction online ...no interuptions....no bla bla... very nice
David Draiman.....one of the best voices around!! Unparalleled! He can go from baritone to tenor....from clear as a bell to rasp and back ON A DIME!! Unbelievable timber and vibrato!! WOW!! Just beautiful !!
Perfect video. No interruptions and your face expressed everything
Hi Rob💕
This is my favorite rendition of this song. His interpretation truly brings out the true meaning of the lyrics. Simon and Garfunkel sang to alarm us, Disturbed sings to give us a final warning. You should watch the live performance on Conan when you get a chance. Amazing performance despite the fact that David Draiman had the flu.
This is now one of my favorite songs of all time.. and I can't believe its by DISTURBED... disturbed is like an extreme heavy metal band. The singer has an amazing voice
Hi Soph x💕. Do you know Simon & Garfunkel? I am sure someone will tell you more about them because I haven’t heard the original. But Sound of Silence is by Simon & Garfunkel originally. Someone actually told me after they saw my reaction that these original singers really loved Disturbed Cover of this Song. What are your other favorite songs of all time?
Love how you didn't pause the song every 10 seconds. Give your opinion after. Your emotions listening to this song spoke volumes. You got my subscription.
Absolutely loved your awe and respect for this most incredible song. Your smile of appreciation was priceless.
Awwh thanks Gary Welcome to the PenPal Family💕Have you heard my new song releases?Listen to “Seasons", out now: fanlink.to/-Seasons

Best cover ever! Still cry a bit, after at least 50 listenings! What a singing range!!
I don’t blame you this song is memorable 💕
Your facial reactions say it all !!! This is an amazing cover of a brilliant song, 1st done by Simon & Garfunkel warning us, if we don't change our ways we are headed for destruction, and Disturbs version is angry, because we didn’t listen to the warnings 😌 I always feel this song is like an amazing rollercoaster ride, slowly heading to the top, then almost crashing to the bottom...
Hi Sandy💕
Oh hon, your reaction was truly beautiful and genuine to such a powerful and emotional song. I appreciate that you simply listened!
Danke für deine Geduld beim zuhören 🎉
Ist der größte Respekt für den Künstler. Und ich kann das lied nicht hören, ohne dass Tränen fließen
I love this! Thank you for not stopping every 2 minutes! I loved this reaction! I've just subscribed ❣
I'm 57. I've known of the Simon and Garfunkel version for as long as I can remember. I considered it "OK" but it was not one of my favorites. When I first saw the version you watched, a few months ago, it brought tears to my eyes. Since then, I have enjoyed watching a lot of the reaction videos. Yours was different, though. You paid attention through the whole thing and didn't interrupt the flow. It almost brought a tear again today.
Awwh thanks. This song will stop someone in their tracks no doubt 💕
I'm glad you chose this version over the live show. In the live video, David was sick, and even though you probably couldn't tell unless you'd seen this one, there's a marked difference.
The original was a warning, way back in the 1960's, and this version has been called the rage that the warning was ignored.
I loved your review because you allowed the beautiful song to play in its entirety and commented at the end. Thank you!
Really great reaction!! I get misty every time I hear it. You made it wonderful! Plus... no pauses!! Thank you 🤗
Loved your reaction. Oh and your smile is amazing
I heard this song live at one of their concerts, I literally cried like a baby🥺❤️
I can imagine 💕
Simon & Garfunkel said they really like this cove of their song and this song is now Disturbed’s song
MrsP - amazing reaction, your sincerity and insights are just shining through in this reaction...More PLEASE like this
Hi Mark who are your favorite bands?
you didn't expect it to be like that ✌️😎👍 great reaction
Hi Mad9977 💕
I love the extra care you put into your 'reactions': letting the music play and in post you add your comments graphically. That's a lot of extra work, and I for one appreciate it.
Thank you for the extra care!
Thanks!
You have such a lovely smile..
Thanks Spyder💕
2020. Mrs PenPal, you are right on point. Your heart and soul were touched by TRUTH and the power of music. GR8 reaction....😎
Wow Michael💕
I grew up with this song by Simon and Garfunkel in my childhood. My dad would listen to them. I was very familiar with this version and even today can get chills from it. I heard Disturbed's version a couple of years ago on internet radio and was.... floored. Yes, like you said, mesmerized. Wow! He has an an amazing voice and I love how he did this song. Very seldom do I enjoy remade versions of songs. This is one of them.
As far as the song, I believe? Maybe I'm wrong, Paul Simon wrote it. He writes beautiful poetic style lyrics. Thank you for your video!
Great comments. Mesmerizing is the best one-word description! Congratulations!
I recommend you now react to their song Voices to hear how diverse their range is.
Thanks Shadow💕
Desgarradora versión! Impresionante voz y el tema uno de mis favoritos... Épico! Gracias por reaccionar a este grandioso tema
Someone who finally gets it!! Love the reaction love the channel Love how you take your time and form your thoughts before you say anything, Great Job also love you don't pause constantly.
Hi Vetted💕
The original version i hear it as a warning ⚠️, this version i hear its hear the threat is now .
Hi Maker💕

Thanks Mike! Also thanks for checking out my latest song as well! Truly appreciate! Glad to finally have you here officially 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bravo, Bravo….Thank you for speaking without talking throughout the video!
Disturbed’s version hits all your musical senses…You see it, feel it, and hear it all in a powerful crescendo into finally uniting the music with the musicians…Brilliant!
Thanks for your well felt reaction!
I love watching reaction videos of songs that move my soul…However, this cover by ‘Disturbed’ is always stopped for reaction just as it’s building to a new level…99% of male reactors do this, and I have to be honest and descriptive here (wives will understand what I mean🫢)…
It’s like the act of physical love being expressed and you are in a rhythmic flow toward a beautiful climax and suddenly…
your 6 yo. is knocking on the bedroom door…🙄🫤
Thanks again for your beautiful reaction…
🦋Lily🦋
I really like your breakdown and reaction of the song, both on-screen during and after the video. Plus, the way you take the song apart from a music/musician perspective. Powerful song. Great reaction!
Awwh, Thanks this song was very layered💕 Welcome to the PenPal Family💕
02:44 I love how, by this point, you can tell how enamored you are with this song, simply by the folded hands up against your chin. I, personally, think this is one of the greatest songs ever written, regardless of performer. Glad I subscribed to your channel! looking forward to seeing more of your reactions!
Hi Andrew. Great insights. Welcome to the PenPal Family 💕
Best Reaction EVER, Great Girl (and SONG)
😇😅
great reaction Mrs. I have been listening to this song by Simon & Garfunkel since it came out and their isn't a time when I see what they sing about going on in the world, then and now. Masterful lyrics that really describe the human condition I think, It's helped me keep perspective and sanity all these years.
Wow! That's my reaction to your reaction. I'm amazed at your grasp of all the aspects of this video. To articulate your thoughts are amazing. And to be as beautiful as you are, only serves to set you above all others.
Awwh that’s awesome that you see yourself in me✨
your reaction is so beautiful and respectful, thank you for understanding the beauty of this song
Wow thanks💕
One: I love how you waited ‘til the end of the song. Two: I love the subtitles explaining your thoughts. Three: love you have your commentary at the end. With that being said; I interpret this song to mean, those who continue with their silence condone the atrocities committed against their fellow man; and the words hang silent meaning the warnings are being ignored.
This was my very first time to watch one of your reviews and it will not be my last! Congratulations! You are one of the only reviewer‘s on the entire Internet that does not stop and start a song multiple times in the three minutes the song is playing for you. You sat quietly and attentive and took in the song without chopping it up 15 times like most do. I will continue to watch your videos if for no other reason than this! Kudos to you young lady! And then gave a great review!!!!!
Unfortunately, due to copyright blocks playing it all through like this is actually not the best practice. People could actually loose their channels for doing this and in the meantime their audience can't see their videos due to the blocks. I have videos like this no one can view them due to Blocks. Armand please, bare with those who paused during the song it is due to these types of penalties. Welcome to the PenPal Family 💕
Love the words instead of pausing and talking about it!!! Well done! Mesmerizing is a perfect comment.
Hi Cater💕
They were nominated for a Grammy for this cover
This is my first time on your channel, and I absolutely love you. Your love of music is infectious, and I really enjoyed how you conveyed that love to us. Thank you, you made my day. ❤️
Thanks Eve for your heartfelt words 🌸
The original song was written when I was just a little girl of 7. I loved it so much that it's the first song I learned all of the words to. Thank you for reacting.
this cover was done from a perspective of anger at how people ignored the warning from the original song... neon gods is a reference to TV, everyone prays to their TVs instead of communicating and instead of heeding that warning we just replaced TV with cell phones... David said it was supposed to portray his anger about this, he also said it was the hardest song he had ever sung... 680 million views for the video, amazing
Hi Jonathan💕
@@MrsPenPal hello MrsPenPal.. hope u r doing good and feeling good during this pandemic... love ur accent, where r u from?
This is a fantastic song that I grew up with along with other Simon and Garfunkel songs. Very popular! Many of your other commentators here have already hit on the meaning of the song and I concur, I think that this is written as an observation and even a prophetic song about how things are not as they always should be when it comes to human communication and interaction and we must beware lest it gets worse and worse as time goes on. And yes, we seem to have not learned the lesson well since the 1960s. At least not here in the United States and Europe. I love your reaction as I always do! You have a wholesome interaction with and relation to music and it comes out in every reaction video you do. I love the way you love the music and at the same time want to interact with the message it's communicating as well. You are fantastic as far as I'm concerned! Please continue to observe music. And here's to your next reaction! 🙏🙂❤️
Thanks Russell I have been blessed with PenPals who insist I see these and wow it’s been an amazing journey for me. Glad to hear you love this channel . Thanks for your support. This write up this is very insightful 💕
Being able to experience you experience this song and video for the first was absolutely delightful young lady! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Jim 💕
Loved watching your face while you were listening to this. You were so impressed and engrossed with the song. He has shine very powerful vocals
So true this was wonderful 🙌
The rest of your reaction aside, I give you full credit for having one of the most honest and beautiful smiles I think I’ve ever seen. Though I am not trying to detract from the rest of your reaction at all.
Thanks Peter
Your face said it all , the stunned silence at the end ... awesome .

It's a beautiful thing when a song makes you 'one' with the music, one with the Universe. Wonderful review.
It really is. This kept me glued 🌸💕
Speechless
deep powerful song
I absolutely love the text commentary. You definitely have a new sub.
Welcome to the PenPalFam Marc 💕
Your reaction is exactly like mine, everytime I listen to this.
A great reaction by the most beautiful reactor I've seen, if you don't mind me saying.
Awwh thanks Chris welcome to the PenPal Family 💕 Have you seen my latest song just released :ruclips.net/video/U7hJDPOUYZo/видео.html
I love watching people get turned on to new music, and have been actively searching for a reactor that doesn't pause and comment. You are the first out of a dozen streamers that I have subbed to. Also, I like how you don;t do the fake "smash that, hit that " sales pitch for likes and subs. Keeo it up, I will be back.
