This is my “reset the system” song. I can listen to it and reaction videos on repeat without messing up my brain. I grew up on the S&G version and it was light & airy, hopeful but a warning. So the first time I heard this version I was just stunned by the change in timbre from the original, and how it changed the feel of the song. Chills & tears - floored. So now? I’m all in on this version. And I’ve listened to both the studio and Conan versions countless times. And I watch reaction videos, loving the joy when new folks discover what David has done with this song.
David had the flu and high fever. They wanted to cancel but David said no. He had to sit the whole time because of how weak he felt. Listen to the video
Really? I didn't know that he sounded great, I hate to think how many people he may have gotten Sick by showing up to do this but wow what a performance 😀
And apparently, rumour has it that David went ballistic over the fact that the “technical team” tweaked part of his vocals! Whether it’s true or not is another matter!
Paul Simon wrote this song (1964). Performed by his band Simon and Garfunkle as a warning for what has become our world. In recent years he also said that "this is Disturbed's song now". He also stated that this version is the anger because nobody heeded the warning.........
I almost thought I was the only one who knew the meaning. Paul was correct. It fits today perfectly and David made it their own. You can feel the meaning.
Yes! Watch the music video for the visuals, you don't need to react to that but you need to see the video for the visuals of the words. Everything in the video is done to tell the story.
David Draiman had a lesion on his vocal cord that was extremely painful, but he didn’t want to be a no show so he showed up and showed out man!! He wasn’t pleased with his performance. But millions of people thought it was amazing. Including me. I adore him!
Thank you so much for telling him that David had a lesion on his vocal cord. To me that is so much more impressive than just having the flu. I’ve actually gotten in arguments with people in the comments about how I was wrong about the lesion. But I watched an interview with him where he admitted that was the problem. So I’m glad that someone else is out there talking about it. greetings from Southern California. 🤗💋🥰
Flu and high fever- David Draiman, exhaustion and weakened immune system- Freddie Mercury, torn bloody throat muscles and worn-out vocal cords- John Lennon. These are the signs of a true artist and their willingness to go through a personal sort of hell to insure perfection in any and all performances, truly showcases their Greatness. To All The Legends Of The World. Thank You❤
I also had never heard of Disturbed until my nephew shared it on facebook. I decided to have a listen and fell in love with this version. David Draiman has such a resonating voice.
He's David Draiman. He has a phenomenal voice. Rumors have it that he had the flu when he performed this. A totally different cover of this that is excellent is done by Geoff Castellucci. It's well worth checking out.
They took an already iconic and beautiful song and made it about the best cover ever made! Dave’s voice is on another level! It is said that he had the flu when they did this and still belted it out perfectly!
Listen. I am the first in line, for anything with a beat (R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Dancehall, Reggaeton, etc). But Yo. This guy singing...he's intelligent. He can sing his arse off. He was sick when he did this performance. His voice can make bells ring in heaven or hell, which ever pleases you. He speaks eloquently. I am a fan fan. Disturbed is an exception to the rule. Period.
This is the best “COVER” of any song I’ve ever heard. Better than the original which was a big hit in the 60’s. David Draiman’s voice is amazing. Disturbed actually is a “rock” band, but as you see (& heard) they’re very diverse in their musical ability. Check out their music a little deeper. It only gets better. 🖤🎶🖤
The acoustics on that Conan stage were bomb, along with the awareness of how a perfect rendition would affect the listeners... Omg.... Multiple times I've listened to this as well as the formal video and by far the Conan stage has the best offering.
Not only is this one of my favorite songs to hear, it is also one of my favorite to watch people react to. Draiman is a Heavy metal but classically trained. The music video is definitely worth watching from an artistic perspective. As music videos go it's great.
I’ve watched so many reactions and my smile gets bigger and bigger when they experience what I experienced for the first time!! Because it’s unreal!!! David!! Is an epic human being!!
This was originally an anti war song and for people to communicate nationally and internationally. When I hear David sing it, it feels like a warning about global warming and so many millions of voices not being heard by politicians who also didn't hear to stop having wars. Wars won't matter if there's no one to fight them.
Youre right, how someone can sound Better Live than in the studio version is unreal. Davids voice is legendary.... If you want to hear Disturbed's "regular " music, check out Down With the Sickness, live in Germany Another great one is "The Light", if you want to start with something a bit calmer... Great reaction!
Actually David is just as awesome in the music video ❤ and I believe you should just watch for the heck of it and then you’ll really understand this man is awesome in the studio or live
this live performance was so much better than the music video version, im glad they suggested that the mv version is still great, but this was so much better, especially considering David Draiman, the singer, was sick that night on Conan, which is why he was sitting down for the performance
This song was originally written by Simon and Garfunkel. it was folk music, both versions are good, obviously Disturbed is best lol. I love how you played the song and just sat back listened and took it in, let it play out instead of stopping and starting, like others do.
Yeah and he was sick that night. But not for nothing while I love this live there is value in the video performance artistically. I think you do yourself a disservice by not checking it out. Great reaction 😊
David Draiman... the man has amazing range and control!! He can go from baritone to tenor...and can put vibrato on the rasp...which is increibly difficult to do. Amazing!! Great reaction Devante!
The fact that he was sick when he sang this just proves what a phenomenal artist he is. I've heard this song hundreds of times. But watching reaction videos like yours, makes me feel like it's MY first time. I love this live version. But the original video is SO GOOD! I get goosebumps every time.
Yes this was the most intensely beautiful rendition of one of Simon and Garfunkels best song’s ❤David was so expressive and personalized this song to himself❤
If you do not watch the video, you are missing out. The video really provokes emotions. Don't lose out. I can't implore you enough--do not miss this experience. Best I've seen!
I’ve never heard this guy before and he did a fabulous job! Very powerful. Listen to the song by Simon & Garfunkel. It’s chilling. Garfunkel had the huge voice, but so soft too.
For best possible experience, listen to the original by Simon and Garfunkle. Then Pentatonics. Then down with the sickness. Then re-listen to this live performance. Follow with the music video. The perfection of the studio recording combined with the visual experience of the video is AMAZING!!!
Thank you! I am not the only one who waited for it to turn to rock. Total surprise when it didn't. I know the original and I was pleased with the Is version.
I've heard lots of versions on this song. Kids, japanese, older folks, disturbed, puddles the clown, im now thinking what if an actual real angel sang it. Imagine that power in a voice, it could crumble a mountain. 😊 Saskatchewan ❤ 😊.
I LOVE HIS VOICE I've seen Disturbed 3 times in concert. David Draiman has an AMAZING Voice. This is so crisp 🤩😂😂 a rocker for sure. Looks up some of his other music. If you like a little rock you'll like his other stuff too ..Voices the music video is freaking wicked 😊
He may have been ill but the way he enunciated with the same growl but softness made it easier to hear every word. I am hearing impaired so this is gold to me ❤
Paul Simon who wrote and had a hit with it said this is the best rendition he's heard of his song.
There’s was the warning, Disturbs is the anger that no one is heading the warning.
That’s a pretty awesome accolade.
Ciryl Riley sounds good too Australian 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@marissafontaine5646 exactly how I felt about it.
Paul Simon told David, the lead singer, and the band that it’s their song now.
His name is David Draiman. He's classically trained but still rips that roar like a boss! Disturbed is so underrated.
trained as a Cantor chose rock n roll instead
@@Aravah1887I believe he also comes from a family of Cantors ❣️👋🇨🇦
You are correct, beautiful voice but he can tear a song up with such talent. Underrated, indeed.
VERY underrated!
What is Cantor?
I’ve listened to this song over 100 times and still get chocked up and hair stand up on my arms. True talent.
Me too
It's a warning we *should* have heeded long ago.
Love that song.
This is my “reset the system” song. I can listen to it and reaction videos on repeat without messing up my brain.
I grew up on the S&G version and it was light & airy, hopeful but a warning. So the first time I heard this version I was just stunned by the change in timbre from the original, and how it changed the feel of the song. Chills & tears - floored.
So now? I’m all in on this version. And I’ve listened to both the studio and Conan versions countless times. And I watch reaction videos, loving the joy when new folks discover what David has done with this song.
Agreeing 🙏👍👍👍
The only thing that really matters is that this guy took a popular song from the 60,s and took it through the roof!
It's a legendary performance.
He made a version that resonates to NOW.
It's my favorite version
He smashed it ❤❤❤
The original version of this song was a warning.
This version is the anger that we didnt listen to the warning.
And many still not listening and staying silent.
Amen
So much truth in your words.
You need to do yourself a favor and watch the video!! It adds so much more to the meaning of the song and his incredible voice!!
Exactly!! I'm 52 years old, I remember S&M' original version. You nailed it! :)
Your not human if you don't get chills 😢
I still get tears hearing this rendition.
I got chills two times in a row
Or cry a little
He is actually classically trained but is lead singer in this heavy metal band.
He’s a classically trained cantor.
David had the flu and high fever. They wanted to cancel but David said no. He had to sit the whole time because of how weak he felt. Listen to the video
Really? I didn't know that he sounded great, I hate to think how many people he may have gotten Sick by showing up to do this but wow what a performance 😀
And apparently, rumour has it that David went ballistic over the fact that the “technical team” tweaked part of his vocals! Whether it’s true or not is another matter!
Yes, this is true. And he was absolutely furious that they put autotune on him.
@@collettegumbrell8854They out autotune on him. Let's just say he was NOT happy about that.
He had an abscess on his vocal cords that he had surgery to correct. He’s talked about it in interviews since.
Paul Simon wrote this song (1964). Performed by his band Simon and Garfunkle as a warning for what has become our world. In recent years he also said that "this is Disturbed's song now". He also stated that this version is the anger because nobody heeded the warning.........
This song was ahead of its time, and foreseeing the future.
This has been the anthem of truth in America esp since 2015-16 and still truth.
I almost thought I was the only one who knew the meaning. Paul was correct. It fits today perfectly and David made it their own. You can feel the meaning.
Actually art garfunkel wrote it in his parents bathroom if you look up the story. Nothing to do with politics just friendship
@@daizeofgrace Since 1964.
I will NEVER forget the first time i heard Disturbed sing this, the most powerful song I’ve ever heard
The music video will give you an awesome visual of what the song is saying.
Yes! Watch the music video for the visuals, you don't need to react to that but you need to see the video for the visuals of the words. Everything in the video is done to tell the story.
If you haven't yet, you definitely need the video version!!! Seriously. ❤😢😲
David Draiman had a lesion on his vocal cord that was extremely painful, but he didn’t want to be a no show so he showed up and showed out man!! He wasn’t pleased with his performance. But millions of people thought it was amazing. Including me. I adore him!
I saw that interview with him and I was gobsmacked❣️❣️👋🇨🇦
Even with his illness, he was still so amazing!
He made this song a piece of art!! It's unreal!
Thank you so much for telling him that David had a lesion on his vocal cord. To me that is so much more impressive than just having the flu. I’ve actually gotten in arguments with people in the comments about how I was wrong about the lesion. But I watched an interview with him where he admitted that was the problem. So I’m glad that someone else is out there talking about it. greetings from Southern California. 🤗💋🥰
@ Hi from Louisiana!! Yes David did an interview with The Charismatic Voice and discussed the lesion.
Distured fans always knew david draiman is an incredible singer
Disturbed has been bringing out fire for over 20 years, they are an INCREDIBLE band with numerous powerful hits.
You are right though, the live version is better, but the visuals in the official music video are phenomenal too.
This is one of those rare times where the studio version is just as awesome as the live video. I really recommend you watch it. The visuals are crazy.
Saw them live and i swear it's almost a religious experience!!
Draiman isn't sick in the studio version and sounds so good! The visuals are a whole other experience!
The video is insane. Rare yes it is they sound so similar. David has pipes for days.
FYI, David Draiman had been suffering from the flu as he sang this. He's a beast of a singer.
I believe he trained vocally to be a Cantor in the Hebrew faith.
You mean he was .... Down with the Sickness?
@@nenad8845 hahahaha that's perfect!!!!!!
Flu and high fever- David Draiman, exhaustion and weakened immune system- Freddie Mercury, torn bloody throat muscles and worn-out vocal cords- John Lennon. These are the signs of a true artist and their willingness to go through a personal sort of hell to insure perfection in any and all performances, truly showcases their Greatness.
To All The Legends Of The World. Thank You❤
I also had never heard of Disturbed until my nephew shared it on facebook. I decided to have a listen and fell in love with this version. David Draiman has such a resonating voice.
The live performance is great. But the music video is also beautifully put together.
I grew up with the original by Simon and Garfunkle, and even I think this guy is amazing.
It was a Simon and Garfunkel original but disturbed really took it to a new level
Paul Simon actually called David. He said that's the only version that he's heard that did real justice to the original.
@LiveByDesignNotByDefault it's better. It's like paul wrote the song and David came along and did it justice.
Cannot deny that his voice is simply amazing love his cover of this song
Definitely was amazing !!
Listen to down with the sickness will shock you @@Imdevantewarner
He's David Draiman. He has a phenomenal voice. Rumors have it that he had the flu when he performed this. A totally different cover of this that is excellent is done by Geoff Castellucci. It's well worth checking out.
He is one of the best vocalists alive. The music video is a great visual ride.
They took an already iconic and beautiful song and made it about the best cover ever made! Dave’s voice is on another level! It is said that he had the flu when they did this and still belted it out perfectly!
That performance does exactly what music should do, make you feel it!
Watch and listen to Down With the Sickness. You will not believe it's the same band. HARD.
Listen to uncut version
Yes! the live uncut version in Germany, please...
I think prayer is a better disturbed song. I know that’s not a popular opinion but that’s def worth checking out too.
Ever so often, a song is recorded that becomes an epic experience in music. This became that song the moment it was recorded.
Listen. I am the first in line, for anything with a beat (R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Dancehall, Reggaeton, etc). But Yo. This guy singing...he's intelligent. He can sing his arse off. He was sick when he did this performance. His voice can make bells ring in heaven or hell, which ever pleases you. He speaks eloquently. I am a fan fan. Disturbed is an exception to the rule. Period.
The shapes of his mouth as he enunciated those powerful words....'nough said. Divinely powerfully perfect.
David was trained as cantor . This is hauntingly beautiful.
This is the best “COVER” of any song I’ve ever heard. Better than the original which was a big hit in the 60’s. David Draiman’s voice is amazing. Disturbed actually is a “rock” band, but as you see (& heard) they’re very diverse in their musical ability. Check out their music a little deeper. It only gets better. 🖤🎶🖤
Powerful powerful version of the original original Simon & Garfunkel song. I’m loving it.
David is a classically trained opera singer, his vocals are amazing.
I Love watching the facial expressions on peoples faces when they hear it for the first time, it literally brought me to tears the first time❤️
The acoustics on that Conan stage were bomb, along with the awareness of how a perfect rendition would affect the listeners... Omg.... Multiple times I've listened to this as well as the formal video and by far the Conan stage has the best offering.
Seeing dave sing this live was absolutely incredible has stuck in my head and on my playlist for yrs
Not only is this one of my favorite songs to hear, it is also one of my favorite to watch people react to. Draiman is a Heavy metal but classically trained. The music video is definitely worth watching from an artistic perspective. As music videos go it's great.
A big yes to Disturbed to cover this song by Paul Simon who wrote and made it a hit in the sixties
This song was relevant in the 1960s when Simon & Garfunkel put it out. This version was relevant for today. Best cover ever.
I’ve watched so many reactions and my smile gets bigger and bigger when they experience what I experienced for the first time!! Because it’s unreal!!! David!! Is an epic human being!!
Best live performance I've ever watched on tv
I can listen over and over..every time it's like the first time i hear it.. amen ❤ AMEN
First time I heard this song being done by Disturbed was literally at their concert. Amazing rendition....chills
This was originally an anti war song and for people to communicate nationally and internationally.
When I hear David sing it, it feels like a warning about global warming and so many millions of voices not being heard by politicians who also didn't hear to stop having wars.
Wars won't matter if there's no one to fight them.
He sings GREAT! I love his voice. Beautiful!
Oh yes you do- the video adds a whole other dimension. The visuals are amazing.
Pretty damn good for a heavy metal band!
Not to mention he had the flu and I believe 103° temperature. ❤
David has an amazing vocal range. Honestly one of the best rock/ metal lead singers.
Youre right, how someone can sound Better Live than in the studio version is unreal. Davids voice is legendary....
If you want to hear Disturbed's "regular " music, check out Down With the Sickness, live in Germany
Another great one is "The Light", if you want to start with something a bit calmer...
Great reaction!
Actually David is just as awesome in the music video ❤ and I believe you should just watch for the heck of it and then you’ll really understand this man is awesome in the studio or live

the mv version is still great, but this was so much better, especially considering David Draiman, the singer, was sick that night on Conan, which is why he was sitting down for the performance
Simon and Garfunkle are the original artists
David Draimond has one of the best voices! Gorgeous! That vocal fry is amazing!
This song was originally written by Simon and Garfunkel. it was folk music, both versions are good, obviously Disturbed is best lol. I love how you played the song and just sat back listened and took it in, let it play out instead of stopping and starting, like others do.
Real instruments - rare to some current music. Real voice - also rare to some music. Real talent - for sure!
David is an amazing talented man/singer…❤
He used to sing in his Church choir as a kid.
Just a thousand times the best best best!!!!!
I absolutely love Davids version of this song,just beautiful ❤Australia
Yeah and he was sick that night. But not for nothing while I love this live there is value in the video performance artistically.
I think you do yourself a disservice by not checking it out.
Great reaction 😊
His voice is up there with Chris Cornell and Lane Staley. My goodness, the deep resonance and his powerful roar is just breathtaking.
David Draiman... the man has amazing range and control!! He can go from baritone to tenor...and can put vibrato on the rasp...which is increibly difficult to do. Amazing!! Great reaction Devante!
Oh, bud, that live performance as good, but the original video . . . . you WILL get chills.
Yes you do...the video is better and you have to watch....this is extremely amazing
Vocally, this is better than the music video. His voice is wonderful.
The love performance is for sure even better, but the music video has some amazing visuals that tell their own poignant, beautiful story as well.
We need this song now than ever.
My favorite version of this song. But also I really like the acapella version of Pentatonix 🥰
A lot of depth in this song❤❤❤❤❤
Ive saw Disturbed live in concert. David sounds live this live !!!
Love this song i have it on my daily playlist. The live is pretty amazing where he was sick but on the other one it's even better
The fact that he was sick when he sang this just proves what a phenomenal artist he is. I've heard this song hundreds of times. But watching reaction videos like yours, makes me feel like it's MY first time. I love this live version. But the original video is SO GOOD! I get goosebumps every time.
The music video is worth watching for the imagery they show. Love the live version!
That Roaring is David's schtick. He's perfected it. He can do both that and clean vocals perfectly. He's maybe the best singer in modern time.
Absolutely 10/10 ❤
I'm so glad I stumbled over this! I haven't heard this song in ages. Normally, I'm not a fan of live performances, but I am blown away by this...
This, A Reason to Fight and No More are my absolute Disturbed favorites
Brilliant reaction “cold” I love it 😂🤔🤔
Also in the video the visuals are so breathtaking.
Yes this was the most intensely beautiful rendition of one of Simon and Garfunkels best song’s ❤David was so expressive and personalized this song to himself❤
Should watch the video, tells the story, is beautiful.
If you do not watch the video, you are missing out. The video really provokes emotions. Don't lose out. I can't implore you enough--do not miss this experience. Best I've seen!
I’ve never heard this guy before and he did a fabulous job! Very powerful. Listen to the song by Simon & Garfunkel. It’s chilling. Garfunkel had the huge voice, but so soft too.
I’ve never heard this guy before and he did a fabulous job! Very powerful.
Listen to the song by Simon & Garfunkel. It’s chilling.
Oh.. this is VERY tame for Disturbed.. they will make you break your own neck headbanging to their music!! New sub for Disturbed! Thank you! xo
For best possible experience, listen to the original by Simon and Garfunkle. Then Pentatonics. Then down with the sickness. Then re-listen to this live performance. Follow with the music video. The perfection of the studio recording combined with the visual experience of the video is AMAZING!!!
The official video is really excellent....beautiful cinematography...it really adds to the emotion.
I've had the pleasure of seeing them seven times in concert, and if I get the chance, I'll see him a hundred more.
The Disturbed version brings me to tears every time!! Omg it was made for him to sing. love love love it. ❤
The video is special because the graphics explain his words. Singer is David Draiman
Please watch the official video. The production and images are amazing! The music video is outstanding!!!
They are definitely a hard rock band. They did an amazing job on this cover but most of their original songs are hard rock.
💖FABULOUS ABSOLUTELY
FABULOUS 💖🙏
Thank you! I am not the only one who waited for it to turn to rock. Total surprise when it didn't. I know the original and I was pleased with the
Is version.
I've heard lots of versions on this song. Kids, japanese, older folks, disturbed, puddles the clown, im now thinking what if an actual real angel sang it. Imagine that power in a voice, it could crumble a mountain. 😊 Saskatchewan ❤ 😊.
The video is hypnotizing, just beautiful. The group is heavy rock, the song was was a folk.
I LOVE HIS VOICE I've seen Disturbed 3 times in concert. David Draiman has an AMAZING Voice. This is so crisp 🤩😂😂 a rocker for sure. Looks up some of his other music. If you like a little rock you'll like his other stuff too ..Voices the music video is freaking wicked 😊
I feel god in this song it's absolute incredible ❤️❤️❤️ xxxx
He may have been ill but the way he enunciated with the same growl but softness made it easier to hear every word. I am hearing impaired so this is gold to me ❤
