My Mom reacts to ~ The Sound of Silence - Disturbed

- I'm hoping to start a new series, might not be more than a handful of videos, of my Mom reacting to music I hope she will enjoy. I'm not trying to convert her to metal or anything like that. Just maybe covers or songs I want to share with her.
Sorry to those who think there is a lack of physical reaction, facial expressions etc. This song grabs my soul and then I'm in the zone. Not sure if it was being on camera or what, but be assured Mom loved it!
Trump is a God fearing man, the best POTUS ever. He rarely sleeps. He has done more for the Average American than the last 5 presidents combined. Set aside your personal feelings, biases, and prejudices. Trump has made America great again, despite all the lies , attacks, and conspiracy theories of the left. Trump's level of tolerance and endurance for the left wing attackers is at a supernatural level. Many would have cracked and walked away long ago....instead Trump stays the course and gives his salary to charities. Who does that? Come on seriously. Get yourself out from the evil talons of the left.
I think you both did a good job. I'm probably older than your mom, but please give her a bit of credit... She heard it by Simon and Garfunkel. She knew it to be a good and meaningful. I've always liked the original as well, but that was a call to look around, to pay attention, where this was a shout to get up off your butt, put your phone down, turn off the t.v. and have a real interaction with a real human. Paul Simon contacted "Disturbed" and told them it was the best cover of the song that he'd ever heard...and you guys did well to expose more people to it.
A Day in My Life do song by sugar land stay
A Day in My Life I'm sure your mom felt something...there's no way NOT to feel something while listening to that,
I'm 71, and I loved Disturbed's presentation when I saw it on a late night TV program, that I purchased it online from apple.
I remember when Simon and Garfunkel released this song in the 1960's. I was 13 and the song spoke to me then.
i have always loved it. This version is a real kick in the guts.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING!", it is screaming "WHY DIDN'T YOU PAY ATTENTION!"
It makes me weep at all that we have lost or destroyed.
Powerful, powerful performance indeed.
Paul Simon wrote this song in 1964 while sitting in a dark room by himself. The message of the song is as relevant today, if not more so, than it was in 1964. The song is an essay on the negative cause and affect that technology is having on our society, especially our social interactions with each other. In my opinion, the song was a foreboding message about was to come in the future. Looking at the advent of personal computers, cell phones and social media provides conclusive evidence the future Paul envisioned is here.
When I first heard this song I dropped my tools and moved to the job site radio like a moth.
Lyrically, one of the greatest songs ever written. Thank you Paul Simon
This song is lyrical audacity, vocal audacity, and symphonic audacity! Said differently? It is magnificent!
I can relate with your mother's comment about hearing some of the words for the first time. For me, as a man in my 60s, I grew up in the 1960s and early 70s, I remember hearing the Simon and Garfunkel version many times on the radio and while it was never my all-time favorite, it ranked up there in my personal top 10 but not for it's message, it was for their harmonies. It wasn't until I heard Disturb's version, that I understood what the song meant, which I don't even think Paul knew when he wrote it in 1964.
I am not a fan of Disturbed's usual type of music but this version and their live version they did on Conan O'Brien's quickly became my number 1 and 2 favorite songs.
A little bit of trivia, after seeing their performance of this song on Conan, Paul Simon said it was better than the S&G version.
*DITTO..! 63 over here and all I can say is you took the words right out of my mouth.*
Do you know that Paul Simon told Disturbed that he loved their cover of this song.
Yes Simon and Garfunkel’s song was mellow toned well sung by the two together but soft and mellow. As you said as a warning I’m 55 yrs old and love Simon and Garfunkel’s music and when I heard Disturbeds version, Omg!!!, very strong!!!. I loved it!!!, his vocals are crazy insane and amazing!!!. From his bass tones to higher tones and beautiful controlled vocal rasp, wow!!!, very powerful like he’s reaching into one soul and being out everyone’s true feelings. Oh my gosh beautiful voice. He needs to sing more songs like this. He has that voice that can sing any type song
Love that she’s listening, but shared headphones always make me a little sad, because you’re not immersed. Especially in a song like this ❤️ thank you for posting
Kurt Bergeron I've gotta think stereo would be necessary, monotone would lose SO much of the "electricity" between the accompaniment & his voice
no stereo
Your mom’s reactions were very subtle. A slight motion to her head to the beat of the music. The blink of her eyes. There are times when the impact of a song grabs you to the point where you actually absorb the words into your soul. I have listened to this so many times I’ve lost count. It still resonates.
This is the only cover of Sound of Silence that Paul Simon posted the link on his website.
mom smiled in first 5 seconds...she all done...hooked
Your mom is adorable. Love this song. One of my favorites. 💞💞
Well, you had me up to the 6:59 time stamp. Here’s a tip; unless you’re a mega-star and have more money than you can spend, never alienate 50% of an audience you’re attempting to attract. Obviously we’re all entitled to our opinions, but politics and religion are never a good idea if you’re gonna put yourself out there. Having written this, it continues to concern me that so many younger people paint the President with such a wide brush of how much of an “idiot” and how awful he is, yet when pressed, fail in providing anything of substance. The economy is at record highs, bringing back our troops, all-time low unemployment, record high employment... I can go on and on. I’ll tell you what the issue is... previous administrations have lied to you so much that you had no choice to believe it. But most importantly, he has the guts to say it like it is, AKA to tell the truth. Unfortunately people don’t want to hear the truth. Believe me, our President is NO moron.
P.S. Mom’s cool.
.......your'e wasting the skin on your fingertips. They've invested their hearts and souls into the new social norms.......lost forever in ignorance and pride!
bob driggers yeah... I guess you’re correct. Sad.
100% agree. Was going to comment but, thank you for doing so.
Not sure what world your living in Manny. There is plenty of things Trump has done wrong. Disguise a campaign fundraiser as a veteran fundraiser. His properties are doing so bad he uses his position as President to promote them. Doral is losing money, that is why he wanted the summit there. His hotel in New York only profitable quarter was when the Saudi’s rented 500 rooms. He has the Air Force stay at Turnberry so the local airport won’t close. The next airport is 130 miles away. First time that resort has been in the black in years. Abuse of power for personal gain. Give it time the market will fall and fall hard. Also, every city he campaigns in are not reimbursed for their expenses and protection. Soon cities will cringe when he comes to town.
First...Go KC! I’ve waited 50 years for another Super Bowl win! I’m your mothers age and I have always loved this song from the 60’s. This version is a great cover and raises its meaning to the listener 10 fold....I listen to each night now.
Thanks for listening
This isn't hard rock, it's beautiful. The band is hard rock..but not this
I agree
The band is heavy metal ...
I saw your mom smile as soon as she hear him singing. I knew it had her
I actually have one that mom may like:
Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt"
Actually Johnny Cash is her favorite singer! This is def already on my list to do.
Her reaction to Hurt ua-cam.com/video/5jyrtOOHvrs/v-deo.html
Your mom is great. This was a wonderful reaction video. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you for sharing.
Im a mom and I love Disturbed and this song is epic
Ignore the haters. If you like what you’re doing that is all that counts. Everyone improves.
Strange how correct mom was about things in the video "PREZ" and so strange to do a review on this song prior to all this craziness
I love you and your mum.This is a great track and I love your mums reaction.
A day in my life thank you for not pausing the video to give your reaction and waiting for the song to finish. I’ve watched so many reactions. They pause and talk, pause and talk and you don’t get to hear the song in it’s entirety. That peeves me off. Your mom is lovely. Great reaction 👏🏻
I have had to pause others though. If they go up and YT blocks them, it has to be done, even if I get copywrite strikes.
This song is beautifull it melt my heart cos ive lost my mam and dad .so i heared a sounds..from the dark..and there it was a sound of silence..
You can react in Russia and us true Americans can enjoy the sound of your silence!
Perfect marriage easy to enter into empathy with perfect music and perfect video .....Sorry for my english!!! kisses from Argentina
I’ve loved this song since first hearing it as a child in the early 70’s, I’ve searched ever since to find someone who could sing with the power that Paul Simons words deserved; at last (in ‘Disturbed’s’ version) my search has ended!!!
Very well put!
I think Disturbed brought the power and darkness the song needed. It's amazing that Paul saw this back in 1963 and look at us today. Neon lights paved the way to flat screen tv and smart phones. I still love the original just because it's their song and Paul wrote it and gave it life 56 years ago. Nice reaction to a beautiful song and message. Your mom is so sweet and she knew the message about people. Thanks.
I read that when Paul heard this version, he called and told these guys that this was the best cover he's ever heard.
Ever seen when he did it like on The Conan Show. That was incredible
I have, but she hasn't. I may redo this with proper headphones with that one someday.
The lead singer, David Draiman was born in Brooklyn to an Orthodox Jewish family. He hails from a famous line of temple cantors, and was expected to follow in the tradition. He chose a different path, and sadly, much of his family disowned him.
That last part I didn't know. That's really sad.
@@ADayinMyLife Check out an interview or two. He's articulate and tells how his grandparents we survivors of the holocaust.
Pretty sure it a generational thing, I see more reactions to the Disturbed version then the original, I am perhaps bias in that I grew with the original version, and just like it better. Anyways as most people believe it a timeless master piece of writing.
I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis ... Excellent ........ David Draiman's voice is epic. Regarding the lyrics, Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning.
The Disturbed version is furious because the warning was ignored.
I don't know how true it was I was told Simon and Garfunkel written a song after John F Kennedy was assassinated that's what I heard not sure
Really?
A) Get your mom her own headphones. B) We were there - it was a phenomenon even then. C) Play "Hallelujah" for her. D) Mom, make her play In a Gada da Vida by Iron Butterfly.
The video depicts two sides of an ocean. One side is writing music but has no instruments while the other side is the opposite. At the end the boat takes the instrument bearing people to the other side and only then does the sun rise....right at the very end of the video.
Love your Mom ♥️
You have to understand that it took an entire orchestra to record this song. Not an easy chore. and I loved your grandmas reaction!!~~~~
We call it in the music industry... Thunder Struck
Your mum is the only one to get it right, the words tell the story mum was so right its about us here in the universe
Just for fun try Panatonixs, "Hallelujah" I'll bet you both will love it. It was written by Leonard Cohen back in the 60s. There are many covers of it, but like I said, I'd bet you both will love this one.
I never heard Disturbed before I’ve listened to a few song and they are good but a bit too heavy metal for me that’s why I loved that he could sing ‘sounds of silence’. He knows how to sing those notes, knows how to control the rasp, he knows how to save his vocals from getting damaged when he belts out the high notes and rasping. Good on him beautiful singer. If you see him sing on Conan the auto tone from the show just automatically kicked in you can kind of see and hear the tech mechanics of the auto tone as he sings. He didn’t know that would happen at the time. He still has a beautiful voice tho I’ve heard a few other concerts were he sang sounds of silence and he sang amazingly. Well done
please don't share headphones. good lord. especially since you had already heard it, give the woman both so she can realllly hear it. im her age and i can tell ya, we friggin rocked in our day, and still do, dont ever thing she wont Get it.
2:00 mom nods thinking "shut up bitch i'm enjoying this" xD cheers to both of you
Your Mom probably remembers the Simon and Garfunkel song. I personally like the old version better. My hair is gray too.
the disturbing thing is mom is on her phone before we start. Parents, they're the worst.
Right? 😂
Best cover ever😥😥😥😥🤘
argh! sharing 1 pair of headphones? some sounds come from one, some sounds come on the other one... that's a horrible idea...
your mom looks lovely though :)
I love your mom!
Right from the beginning.....THIS song is not representative of the music Disturbed typically sings. So, it is not "this genre". Yes, its angry, but its supposed to be and is very different from their typical "angry metal". It is awesome, beautiful and a bit frightening all at once.
+1 for puttin yourself out there like that
Mom is part of the Chiefs Kingdom. Greetings Sister!
lol mom like "what you know about what I like".
Great video you lovely ladies need to review c w MC Call the old home fill her up and keep on trucking cafe.
It is called vocal fry
Check out Pentatonix's cover of this song as well.
This song was a masterpiece and Disturbed did it justice, so much so that Paul Simon even liked it and placed a link on his website. You should let her listen to Cemetery Gates by Pantera from 1991 (the one with Lyrics).
I've never even heard that. Will def consider!
Don't stress about climate change. The climate is changing but we need CO2 for the plants and trees to live
Is your Mom familiar with the Simon and Garfunkel version?
She is, and why I wanted to share this amazing version with her.
It's amazing
You can get a two person adapter for headphones for less than $2
She hadn't brought her headphones.
If you are interested in covers you might want to react to Bad Wolves cover of “Zombie”
I have heard it but not sure it's something my Mom would like. If you want to suggest songs or covers, maybe covers of older 50's 69's 70's songs...?
Loved your reaction video, and I paid attention to your mother, about my age? Anyway, her reaction that it was impressive was right on target and the message of both versions (Simon and Garfunkel...the warning and Disturbed...the accusation (maybe)). It is a substantive song and Disturbed has given the lyrics and the tone a more urgent and real quality.
She will be 75 in a couple weeks. She thoroughly enjoyed the song. Am hoping to go up and do a few more videos with her when I have the time to drive 4 hours one way. lol
It was a warning after the Kennedy assassination.
Yea. you are so right..a warning..we didnt listening to it
ooh. Love the reaction and the comments. Thank you
What.? Your president Will be in historyyyy..... 😵🤪 At least my perspektive, good video, though... Greetings from Finland.
If you let mom listen to the song without you present that would be epic to hear her comments. She has been there and done that and has so much more wisdom.
Hun.....You talked over your Mom's reaction....this was you telling your Mom reactions. Let her speak and you sit QUIETLY listening.
Yes, I got excited and I wasn't sure she was going to say much without a little coaxing. I hope to do another video with her in the coming weeks, and will try to do it a bit better.
Thanks for your advice :)
The other time you got impatient with her, describing the singer's gravel to pure tone (on the perfect verse, "neon God they made"), the word you wanted was maybe "varied" because it isn't "layered", there is one voice, very much unlike simon&garfunkle version. Your mom is full of wisdom, her expression told me she was listening attentively.
You're listening to this in mono?
We didnt have a way to do 2 headphones or buds. I have told her I will have her listen again in all its glory.
As far as I know Paul Simon likes disturbs version
😊
💞💞💞💞
Ya'll need to get a splitter and another pair of earbuds, so y'all can both hear all of the music, instead of just part of it. This is definitely a good version, but I prefer the original, because it's creepier.
Creds to Mum
Cool mom.
Ohhh, Ladies. You could do so much better with your video. 2 Headphones and never say " Screamo", would be the best place to start.
Yes I know if I get a chance to do a video with her again I will make sure we each have Headphones. And I will definitely try not to miss label any genre of music again.
Haters in the comments make me angry. I will say one thing, we dont agree on politics! #Trump2020! Keep doing what your doing. You’re both beautiful!
Raaaaiderssss!!
LOL Chiefs killing it!
Jep, in finnish...... Good! 😁
Could have utilized both ears
Now let her listen with both ear buds. I can't imagine how bad that sounded in mono.
Yea my regular headphones broke just before this. 😞
Just so everyone knows this song is about the JFK assassination , that is why they wrote this song!
A shame you had to interject your political views when it was supposed to be about your Mom's experience. 👎
Well except that the song is kind of political and was written during a very heightened time of the things changing and needing to change. Climate change in it of itself is not political, But is a subject that needs to be discussed. My mom was the one that threw out words about the president.
@@ADayinMyLife This song is not political. It is your personal interpretation of of it and that does not open discussion to anything when your mind is already made up. I am closer to your mom's age and back in our day politics, religion, taxes and who you voted for were personal issues. We just did not go there. Some things in life you keep to yourself. Did your beautiful mother ever tell you that if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all? That is one thing youngsters need to learn. You have no clue about the difficult decades we lived thru. Climate change was one and is not in this song. We had what they called "acid rain". I lived in So Cali my first 27 yrs and we were all going to die. We'll I am still here and our air is cleaner now than it was then by far. Do your share and if everyone would do the same we Americans would be much better off. You'll be surprised when you hit 60 yrs old how much you thought you knew now was nothing compared to what you learn later in life. Open your mind and enjoy music for entertainment not ideology. 🙏✌️🇺🇸
@@ADayinMyLife the song is about people being on their computers and cell phones written 50 someodd years ago. We don't really communicate face to 😀 anymore.
Song was a dream made into a song. Climate change has taken place sense the dinosaurs and fossils prove this. The sun does more for climate then anything else and carbon credit, higher taxes, more government isn't going to change that. If the sun stops putting out heat tomorrow no-one can heat or cool the planet. Global warming is a great deal for institutions that make money off its funding but not for those who are victims of its non-sense.
@@ADayinMyLife Climate change is a hoax, educate yourself, please.
bad idea to split headphones...
Hey what's wrong with metal? lol Great aong
LOL nothing, it's just not my typical listening style.
Not your normal style of music is exactly what makes reaction channels popular. People want to re-live their journeys through your "virgin" ears. Just a thought.
Please let her have her own headphones before you do another
If Paul Simon can love the sound of the voice of God ... I am sure your mother does too... Very fun Idea I hope she continues with these... (PS tell her to look at her investment portfolio and the price of gas while she remembers the unemployment of the 1900's ...) Tell her I said hate him all you want ...like I don't like piercings... but F* it the sound will make you forget the face and the man... (MAGA hehehe)
@Timothy Schar Don't know what world you live in, but the majority of Americans don't have an investment portfolio. And as for the unemployment of the 1900's that is an awfully large span of time (century). Obama took office in 2009 when the jobless rate was 7.8% and rising. It hit a peak of 10% in October of Obama’s first year. When Trump took office in 2017 the rate was 4.7% which was well below the historical norm.
Hope history won't repeat what happened during the recession that began in 2007. It was kick-started by excessive risk-taking by unregulated banks and was closely followed by the real estate market collapse fueled by creative ways lenders relaxed standards for mortgage loans. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 was in response to that recession and lessons learned. And what was one of the main goals of this current administration? Remove regulations. One of their many actions was gutting Dodd-Frank. "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it." Winston Churchill
Okay first of all, thought this was a reaction video, not a video about political opinions/statements., This country does not need more devisiveness, as in the end of the video and in these comments. Sadly lost me to view anymore reaction videos from this creator. Music is music. If you want to make political statements/opinions and then cause debates in comments then your title should represent that. Devisiveness is not cool.
He is an incredible singer and is a trained opera singer.
This is the farthest from being a hard rock song it's extremely soft
Enjoyed it to you got political!
react to Reo Brothers
Mom needs to react first without interruption, or you lead her to reaction . Then come with your opinion . And no shared headphones
How can you really hear a song with 1 ear. Ruined the stereo separation. Try two ear next time. Sound engineer.
Showing some kind of emotions would help. Not impressed with your reaction.
I have already listened to this song about 300 times. I was trying to get my mother's reaction. So sorry that her emotion did not show enough on her face for you.
I grew up with this song, David's update is incredible. I have watched this hundreds if times as well and this is the ONLY time it has not brought, at least a few tears of enotion. The total lack of emotion, whether you have heard it before or not was very strange to deal with. HOW this song sung this way does not bring some kind of emotion to you the first time and every single time after that you hear it is beyond me! But then it IS your reaction on a react video.
Sqeemo or whatever that word was also......a bit insulting when it comes to Disturbed. I have heard their other music. Its not for me. But it is incredibly evident that David is a highly trained vocalist who SINGS and doesn't scream. Just my humble opinion.
You better listen to your momma. We were taught to respect the office of the presidency no matter who is in there. Name calling only reflects poorly on you. I do not do politics but have high regard for officials in those positions. Someone voted them in and God ALLOWED it. I pray for God to ALLOW the right person to do that job. I like your Mother.
You misunderstood her I think. She doesn't like him and I was agreeing.
You did NOT just call Disturbed screamo *facepalm*
I know...I misspoke and seems I'll never live it down. Lol
yeah big yikes
The song is and always has been awesome but your political views needed not be injected here.
This is a politically motivated song. It was written by hippies ffs.
MAGA Trump 2020!
