    I love the Disturbed version of The Sound of Silence - it has a darker feeling that the Simon and Garfunkel original. The music video is brilliant and really matches the tone of the Disturbed cover. Here I am playing my arrangement of Disturbed The Sound of Silence at St Pancras Train Station. You can see it was the day that I met Jay who I had a jam with earlier that day!

      I heard the Disturbed version. I'm 3 times your age so prefer the original but Disturbed does put more into the song.

    I didn't immediately comment on this one because yesterday when this posted, our area was under threat of severe weather, several people were killed (by the grace of God my area was not touched), but now that it's past, let me just say, while, of course I've heard you cover SOS before, I thought this was your best one yet. As always, as Frank Sanatra would say, "you did your way", powerfully, emotionally and masterfully, i.e., with the Cole Lam touch. The fact that I was a true S&G fan probably helped too, anyway, aa,Lyb,ssah❤️❤️❤️👑of🎹👏👏👏

    EXCELLENT COLE, Thank you. This reminds me of your post on UA-cam, playing "Sound of Silence" in 2019 at St. Pancras. it wasn't quite the "Disturbed" version. Some ladies stopped to listen and when you had finished one of them asked your age and she was amazed that you were just 12 at the time. You do have videos of you playing this in the "Disturbed" version which as you say is a darker version of the Simon and Garfunkel classic but this version still does have that Cole Lam arrangement which makes it even different again. Smashing !!

    this song, got me threw a lot of my life growing up, as i was told by people i'm related to, to not speak. even now that i'm older, they still tell me not to speak, unless some ones talking to me. thats very old school and i hate it, they claim its respectful, i don't believe them because their rude when they say it. i often find myself thinking about, the neon lights lyric and get the image of a glowing symbol, like the ones used in casinos. who else out there, was raised this way? i ask, because i don't want to be alone with this.
