![First Time Watching - Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence [Music Video] - REACTION! @DisturbedMusic](/img/n.gif)
Yes. The imagery and the feel he gives with his voice. I have watched this many, many times. I cry every time.
David Draiman has been truly blessed. He was actually trained by his grandfather to become a Jewish Cantor. Grandpa disowned him for years when he pursued his dream of being a metal singer. Every song that they do has meaning. Absolutely love them. As I said earlier, check out A Reason To Fight. Hold Onto Memories is a tear jearker, The Light is powerful. But any song they do is AMAZING.
I concur with all of those suggestions Misty, excellent advice for Travis. I would also add "The Darkness" to that list as well. Hauntingly somber but beautiful.
@@misty3941 I wholeheartedly agree Misty. ❤
David Draiman..... a powerful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to distortion/vocal fry and back , which goes straight through you to your very soul! He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before........just hauntingly beautiful. Loved your reaction and your take on the video Travis......David can make you cry or give you goosebumps or BOTH! His voice goes right through you! Thanks! again Travis.
The shocked look on your face when the strong vocal fry came in....that was priceless. I'm sure all of your fans who have seen the music video were waiting for the same. Great reaction as always Travis. Keep them coming. Their version of Land of Confusion by Genesis is also brilliant!
David has the best voice in rock! Disturbed’s “Hold on to Memories” is another one that just hits different since loosing my mom.
I'm a huge fan of disturbed, and David Draiman is basically my vocal God! So I'd recommend prayer, the light, and of course the official video for down with the sickness. I enjoyed your reaction very much!
I love the imagery. The band has the instruments and the people have the music. The boat crossing the gulf at the end to bring the music and the words together. Powerful vocals. Powerful imagery.
Yes!!!
A lot of people miss the images and message. I think both S&G and Disturbed are saying music censorship (by the music industry's timid concern for the dollar) is keeping important words and music from the people and it must stop. The sun rising at the end offers hope.
Disturbed completely owned this. Paul Simon complimented them himself for their cover. David Draiman is a phenomenal singer. I'm a big Disturbed fan. Depends on if you like harder sounding music or ballad types they do it all "hold on to memories" "indestructible" "the night" ask for more if ya want I can keep naming them lol have a great day
I second Indestructible. That’s my jam, turned up loud in the car. Especially when I need some motivation and attitude.
And that ladies and gentlemen...is the good stuff!!
David's voice alone is like an orchestra.
This whole production is a journey for the heart and mind. This is hitting you subconsciously multiple times and giving you goose bumps.
I liked disturbed for years before this song came out and I was blown away by David's voice. Whoever produced this whole thing is a genius. It's remarkable.
I can't begin to say how many times I've seen this video, both by itself and watching bunches of reactors ... reacting. I am one of the apparently few who prefer it over the live Conan performance. Reason one, David was sick when he did the Conan take, and while he was still wonderful, I could hear it. Reason two, I figure when someone puts this much creativity and effort into producing a music video this meaningful, it needs to be seen.
At the start of verse two, you hear the first guitar chord, and it's a beautiful but oddly discordant collection of notes. It grabs me by the ears Every. Single. Time. I don't know why - it's just ... so beautiful and in keeping with the meaning of the song.
I grew up when this song was new, and loved the Simon & Garfunkle version. I still believe it's one of the finest pieces of poetry Simon ever wrote, and most of his stuff from those days is just packed with deep meaning. (Try "Patterns" for some deep thinking) Disturbed ramped up the intensity by a thousand. Then PTX came along and gave us another version to love. If you listen to all three, you might agree with me that PTX actually covered the Disturbed version, not the original. There's several note progressions that convince me of that.
I literally can't choose between them, Disturbed vs. Pentatonix. Both are incredible. I've been a Pentaholic since I found them, and this is the only thing Disturbed has done that I've heard, as I've never been much into Metal. I can't say enough good things about this video - it's just gorgeous. Happily, I don't actually have to choose. :)
The tissues I've 🤧 gone through since I discovered David Draiman and Disturbed on April 29, 2024. That day I have to believe my spirit 🙏 guides (out of the blue) first led me to a cover video by Dan Vasc singing "Amazing Grace" 👏 and then to the cover video of Disturbed and David Draiman singing this most POWERFUL, EMOTIONAL 😂rendition of Simon and Garfunkels "The Sound of Silence". I'm 75 and was 15 when they released this classic song of our time during the 60's. It is amazing how relevant it is today, actually I feel it is even more relevant than ever in so many different ways. I've spent days since listening and seeing the many channels and each of their reactions and 😢 almost every time. It's funny that more males have gotten teary-eyed than females, just an observation. Diane Davis
Anything they sing is a hit because his voice is just that rich and full...love me some Disturbed.
This version always ends up bringing me to tears........and I am old enough that I remember the original by Simon and Garfunkel
Do you take suggestions on Vids to react to? If so, I suggest Jim Croce 'Which Way Are You Going'
Thank you so much for your reaction, that was wonderful! Another poster to a reactor once said, there are three versions of this song. The original, S&G, was a warning of what would happen. Disturbed's version is because we didn't listen to the warning. Pentatonix's version gives hope that we can still heed the warning.
It's all the different textures of his voice which make us feel the message. Combine that with the instrumentation and the visuals, and you indeed have a masterpiece.
Hearing it live in person will give you chills.
I highly suggest "The Light" by Disturbed. Emotional and inspirational.
That is what I was going to suggest as well. Amazing song and video.
Me three!!
Disturbed is an incredible band but this will hands down go down as the song he will be remembered for. Got to see this live at a music festival this past fall and it was magical
This song needs performed on the Grammys.
Simon and Garfunkel did thw original. Then comes Pentatonix and upgrades it and took us on a musicly amazing jurney. Then Disturbed made us really understand the lyrics. Loved it!
I don’t like the version Pentatonix did for some reason, but I do agree that Disturbed did an amazing job!
I once read a comment that the original performance was a warning, and this remake a threat! The best comment on this masterpiece!
Love this! Disturbed captures the darkness of the lyrics better than any version I've heard, cover or original. The raw power and deep emotion in David Draiman's voice is amazing. I loved this song when it first came out from Simon & Garfunkel, and I love both the Disturbed and Pentatonix covers for very different reasons. I do give Disturbed the slight edge, though, because of the aforementioned darkness of the presentation.
He describes today perfectly. S&Gs version was a quiet warning. Disturbs version is an angry outcry to warnings unheeded. And you are correct, sir...
This is perfect.
David Draimen was trained from youth to be a Cantor in the Jewish temple.... His voice takes you on an emotional journey.
It's not just that he was sick during the live performance. Because of his illness the show's producers made the decision to put auto-tune on his mic, further diluting his sound. What's worse is that they did it without his knowledge or permission, probably knowing that he would refuse it if they had asked since he famously hates auto-tune and NEVER uses it in the studio.
That is definitely mind blowing, check other Disturbed songs, their cover of Sting's If I ever lose my faith in you is Awesome, Hold on to memories and the Light are other you may enjoy. Enjoyed the reaction.
Thank you for your comments, I loved your reaction to this cover, I am a child of the 60's when Simon & Garfunkel released the original in 1964 I was in high school, back then I considered it kind of country-ish, I liked it but the message didn't pierce the soul (okay so I'm 74). This cover by Disturbed along with the video is the BEST it touches your soul and really gets S&G message to the core of my being and many others too, goosebumps and tears every time. "Neon God" in the 60's TV the advancement of technology NOW there is so many more especially cell phones.
Suggestion = The official video by Disturbed “Hold On To Memories” was released Jan 23rd 2020. “Hold on to Memories" is about not only honoring those we’ve lost, but also making the most of our time with those we still have. We are always touched by the stories you share regarding what this song means to you
He sings and stares directly into your soul, it's truth.
This is my favorite version by far. Disturbed is heavy metal type, but for another slower check out Hold on to the Memories
Their cover of Sting's If I Ever Lose My Faith In You. Was really good as well. One of my favorite's.
I knew you would absolutely love the video. Your words hit it on the nail...the imagery & how he paints with his voice. Great words! I'm going to steal that lol.
I been a big fan for well over 20 years of Disturbed. This in the best song ever that anybody have done a cover on! Disturbed have so much good music, but this song really are on top! One of my favoritt songs are Inside the fire. That song hit me hard in many ways.
Another great song by Disturbed is "Hold on to Memories". David Draiman wrote the lyrics after watching Pixar's Coco with his kid. Highly recommended.
I second that, love it, also Reason To Fight
I absolutely loved watching YOU listen to this version and this video. When I heard it a few years ago....I said he went from an angel to the devil in the most beautiful magical way!!!!! Listen to their song "The Light" right away....especially with you saying how you've been feeling lately..... trust me!😇😈💛
I totally get that comparison you gave ! It was definitely transformative !
I concur with you Melissa, The Light is a must.
One of the most iconic preformances of all time Wild bill
This is my favourite version of this song. Hands down. No one else can compare.
Someone has no doubt suggested this one, but 'Hold on to the Memories' by disturbed is BEAUTIFUL. But... I will also warn you that it is very emotional and moving. Some tissues may be required. I am a huge, disturbed fan, but I subbed to your channel just because the look of wonder in your eyes as you listened to the song. GREAT reaction!!
I hear people lauding Pentatonix for this cover, okay, but they have a few voices doing the song. David is the only 1 singing their version and it's EPIC! It grabs you heart and soul. Beautiful voice, profound and great rendition of a classic song!!!
YES there is another Disturbed song that you should hear if you loved this! It's called The Light and although different, the imagery in that video rivals this one. It has an amazing story.
Epic is right... PRAYER... The Light... STRICKEN... ARE YOU READY... REASON TO FIGHT....
This rendition brings me to a whole new level of emotions. I love it so much
Absolutely Gorgeous. Wonderful images. Powerful voice. Strong lyrics. A work of art.
This is out of the norm for Disturbed. They have several good songs. I love this version of the song. I also feel it is the best interpretation of the song, even though I love the original by Simon and Garfunkel. If you want to hear more of their stuff, please do. Thanks for the reaction.
Everyone ends up with bewilderment in their eyes with their mouths open
Yur facial expression thru the whole song was absolutely amazing. The "awe" look. I was the same way. Everytime I watch this I'm mesmerized
I put Disturb song “Down with the Sickness” on my Alexa early mornings when the neighbor upstairs has kept me up half the night with their partying. I put it at full blast😂 worth watching the official video🔥
Hold on to the memories ... absolutely floored me ...
Me again.. I forgot to say my favourite part. The video. If you look again all the musicians are on one side of the river. All the people with the songs where on the other side. In the ensscean all the musicians are on a boat on the way across the sea
Yesss you must listen to Disturbed 's new song with David and Anne Wilson "Don't tell me" she's from the band Heart this just came out in January she's 74 yrs old iconic yessss
His voice is so incredible. Classically trained! Since Disturbed is a metal band, he didn’t show this much color very often in their early music, so this video clotheslined me the first time I saw it. I didn’t expect such a nuanced story from his voice, but damn if he doesn’t bring it! The mix of that restrained gentleness ramping up to his signature rasp and belt is breathtaking.
And the video!!! On one side of the water, the wandering, compositionless musicians - on the other, the writers with no voices, no instruments. They board a boat and bridge the gap so the silence can be broken and music can be brought forth. A different message than the original Simon & Garfunkel sentiment, but no less striking.
As for their music in general, I don’t know if metal is your thing, but some of my favorites from their older stuff are Ten Thousand Fists, Enough, The Night, and Inside the Fire. The album this song is from (“Immortalized”) is newer and features a slightly different sound, generally softer and more nuanced, seasoned, and optimistic. That whole album is excellent, honestly, (standouts for me are The Light and You’re Mine) but that’s just my taste! ✌🏼
Lots of recommendations for “The Light” already. That one will probably be next !
“Gorgeous “ is the correct word to describe absolutely every aspect of this video!!!!!!
I honesty wasn't of fan of Stings version of (If I ever loose my faith), but Disturbed made me love it. You should definitely check it out.
Simply breathtaking
Glad you noticed that lovely little guitar riff - I thought I was the only one! I love the imagery of the boat taking the people with the instruments across to the people with the sheet music.
STUNNING !!!
CHILLS EVERYTIME!!!
Disturbed is one of the best bands out there, and David Draiman is one of the best vocalists in existence. It's been mentioned by others, but I really think you would love their ballad, Hold On To Memories. It's a beautiful and powerful video as well. The Light is another wonderful ballad. Some of their heavier stuff, which is what they're more known for, that I would suggest: The Vengeful One (my favorite!), Stricken, Down With the Sickness, Land of Confusion (a Genesis cover), heck...the entire Ten Thousand Fists album. Also, an ABSOLUTE MUST, A Reason to Fight (official live video); specifically that version (have your tissues ready and let the words sink in).
I got distracted before I could comment on your video where you talked about making some changes. Just wanted to say that we're all on a journey. Every journey has bumps, dips and valleys, and it's difficult to find our way out of them sometimes. But realizing that changes need to be made is the first step in you improving your journey on higher ground. I hope you know that you have a TON of people who support you in your journey, no matter where it takes you. You bring a ray of sunshine into our lives every day, so we are here for you every step of the way. I wish you the best of luck and every bit of happiness. Looking forward to an update. Take care of yourself, Travis, and just know that if you're doing and being your best, then that's good enough. Much love!
Yes. It's STUNNING!
Disturbed are amazing in the way they interpret the songs they cover as they have in this cover. You must check out their version of Sting's If I Ever Lose My Faith In You originally from around 1993, Disturbed have made it relevant to today
He has a very powerful voice. Liked this version.
I grew up listening to the original version by Simon and Garfunkel. I loved the song from the beginning. Rarely to I find myself enjoying a cover better than the original. This version is definitely the best version that I've ever heard. He brings so much depth and emotion to the song.
The first time that I heard them, it was their song called, "The Sickness". That song has such a story to it.
Classically trained opera singer and Jewish Cantor. His other great. Covers are Shout (by tears for fears) and land of confusion (Phil Collins). But a couple originals are (of course) down with the sickness) but the light is a great song and video to match. Vengeful one is always a good song to listen to
This, in my opinion, is the BEST version of this song.
Other than being trained by his grandfather to become a Jewish cantor, he was also trained classically. I grew up listening to this by Simon and Garfunkel. Then it was my favorite song. This version as far as I'm concerned is the best ever. Even better than the original. Disturbed is a metal band as you know and I'm sure somewhere in the comments someone suggested this but you should listen to Down with the sickness to hear what they really sound like. You should react to it as you are watching it for the first time.
It's all about the WORDS!.., WE ARE living in this WORLD right now, BUT it has NOTHING to do with the MUSIC (which is beautiful)!.., This song was written over 60 years ago!
im a distubed fan that band always have meaning behind there songs they are amazing
This makes me cry every time i listen/view it… it is soooo tru today
This is a departure from their normal style, which is much harder. However, due to his technique and tone, even the harder stuff is melodic and understandable under the distortion. The lyrics are usually meaningful, as well, if you're paying attention. A few more that are closer to this style:
"If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" - a cover of Sting's song with a gorgeous, artistic video done in a similar style to this one.
"A Reason To Fight" - another gorgeous video and something you might appreciate at this time of your life while you're struggling a bit.
"Hold Onto Memories" - either of the two official videos or there's an exclusive live performance that's very moving.
Maybe start with one of those. You'll be hooked and back for more, finding yourself drawn to the harder style, as well, because of the tremendous musicianship of the band and David Draiman.
❤ 🎶 🎶 Awesomeness!!! Don't Stress Stay Blessed...
Much Love 4rm Hawai'i 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
You can't see my ✋, I am a Disturbed fan. Loved your review. I'll leave the next review up to you. I loved, loved, loved that guitar too. Great song, great review.
Disturbed Hold onto Memories
Love, love your reaction. No matter how many times I watch this video, I get teary eyed. Thanks for another great choice for a reaction video.
David did the studio version in one take ..... Amazing talent who has been classically trained
ONE TAKE ?! Wow.
I started listening to Disturbed several years ago as they were one of my daughter's favorite bands. She was lucky enough to see them in concert a few years ago and said they were phenomenal. My reaction on hearing this song for the first time was probably much like yours - I was blown away.
I'm a disturbed fan and your gonna like there song: if I ever loose my faith in you. Believe me it's the best.
Leaves me speechless everytime
Better Late Than Never!
Nice reaction & Happy that you enjoyed this cover version.
Agreed, Cudo's to the arrangement along with the video scenery
Definitely helped send (Paul's / David's) Message Across...
Thanks for doing this, Cheers from Canada
You should also check out "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" which is a cover of Sting's 1994 Grammy winning song for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. It was released in 2020 after they had to cancel their tour, but it's almost like a commentary of the pandemic even though the lyrics are from 1993. Please PLEASE give it a listen, you'll get the best of both worlds: metal Disturbed and ballad Disturbed.
HOLD ON TO MEMORIES!!! And IF I EVER LOSE MY FAITH
It's captivating.. always love watching this vid. Great reaction!
Another song that gives me chills is Keep Hope Alive by Crystal Method!
Love the way they did this song so good
Great reaction/commentary! I cried the first time I saw that video. Definitely epic!
Try Sound of Silence by Peter Hollins an Tim Foust..
Dan Vasc’s version is also stunning. Actually anything by Dan Vasc is worthy of your attention.
Hold onto memories is great he is amazing
Travis- check out THE LIGHT by Disturbed
Mike & the mechanics…the living years.
down with the sickness is another one to listen to
Brilliant video, Master vocals, Beautiful, Thanx Travis
Like others comments, I will also recommend their song/mv The Light. Would love to see your reaction to Super Junior's Burn the Floor performance video (it was pre-release to their The Renaissance album and features two teaser audio clips before the actual Burn the Floor performance begins).
~FM :)
Live version....Conan O'Brien Show
It's jaw-dropping 🤯 🤯 🤯
Peace.....
I get chills every time I watch this video and listen to their version of this song. One of the top 3 covers of all time, I'd say. (My other two are Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt and Pentatonix's cover of The Prayer.) Such a magnificent arrangement and melding of lyrics, music, and David Draiman's voice. And I really love the use of the drum in this arrangement. Absolutely fantastic.
Been a fan of this band since 2008, they've gotten me through rough times. ALOT of their stuff is incredible. Sometimes unsettling, usually dark. But some favs are The Night, The Animal, You're Mine... I could go on about their discography.
It's so good it's mind bl;owing isn't it.
One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)
Song by Coven
Disturbed if I ever lose faith in you
Is original from sting beautiful 😍
Flawless!
David Draiman has an amazing voice! I’m a big Disturbed fan and always loved the heavy metal side (Down with the Sickness is probably their most popular) but I love this side of his voice. I recommend their song Hold On to Memories. It’s an incredible song, the original video is beautiful and the LIVE version is great too. Another song, The Light…so so good.
Check out "Hold on to Memories " the studio performance
I'm a fan of Disturbed. You should check out ALL of them.
