This was a bonus for you guys. It wasn’t supposed to drop till later this week. Hope you enjoy.
Do a review on Worm's Wood by Our Hollow, Our Home
This song was nominated for a Grammy when disturbed put it out and I saw them do this live I can't express how powerful it was
This is actually my favorite reaction channel, I like watching someone with such a religious view react to dark music and non religious music and connecting the dots. I am not extremely religious but this channel actually have passion behind what he is doing and makes me see more in religion.
Only 1 " wow" and " goosebumps" just bustin. Love your channel
If you haven't heard it already. You should hear blackbird by alter bridge. Id really enjoy your opinion on this seeing that it's about loosing a loved one.
Honestly, it brings me to tears every single time I hear it.
David Draiman (Disturbed lead singer) sent it to Paul Simon for his review prior to release. "When David sent it to Paul, he was very nervous. Paul said 'My version was a warning, your version is the rage because the warning was ignored. It's your song now.' Now that's the highest of compliments."
What an ABSOLUTE Tribute to Disturbed. I saw them in concert about 3 weeks ago for the first time! OMG, What a FANTASTIC show they put on!!!
Paul Simin said in an interview "this is disturbed's song now" probably the best praise any singer could receive or give
Nine inch nails did the same thing to johnny cash
Is it possible to put the article or source of where you saw that?
@@jackknight8878 rolling stone magazine did the interview, also check out the video interview with disturbed as he mentioned it to
@@big_sexy123almost exactly. One quote from Trent Reznor about Hurt was "I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore"
In Paul Simon saying that, he conveys how truly profound and humbling I’ve always thought him to be. That comment just proved it.
Pastors: There's no hope in the song.
Disturbed: The video concludes by literally showing a ship sailing across a chasm to deliver music to the 10,000 people who need it.
Yes that’s what I was thinking watch the music video while you listen it ends with Hope!
I thought it was Noah's ark..
I believe they were focusing on the lyrics and the origin
10 thousand fists in the air ✊
I made this point in my comments... then saw you had made it months before me. :)
If this song doesn’t hit you, if you can’t feel this song in your bones, you’re not human.
It gives me chills down my body listening to David singing this so I totally agree you!!!
I don't even want people around me if it doesn't hit your soul. those are not people.
I have listened to this on a loop, repeatedly, and I also get hit in the emotions.
Don't hate the deaf people
Absolutely
One thing I noticed.
Simon and Garfunkle version feels like a surrender to the darkness is speaks of.
Disturbed version feels like a call to arms to fight the darkness.
On point.
Perfect description
Bravo! VERY well said!
You know these guys are a fake right..??
All of their songs is a call to arms 🤣🤣🤣
Last year, I had the opportunity of seeing Disturbed live in Hershey, PA. At some point they make a stop and David starts talking about depression. The whole venue went silent, just listening. Seeing so many hands raised when asked "do you suffer/have you suffered from depression?" made me feel like I'm not alone. They made a setlist of songs like A reason to fight and of course The Sound of Silence.
Picture a bunch of metalheads crying, literally. People that met for the first time hugging each other, enjoying the music, David's amazing voice. Pure respect. That's something I will never forget as long as I live.
This song is by far my favorite cover of a classic song.
Had the same experience down here in San Antonio, TX. A solemn crowd of people from all walks and mentalities rasing their hands. I'll remember that concert forever😭🤘🏼
I would have loved to seen a concert like that!
The original has birthed meme, the remake birthed tears
I'm actually not a metal fan, but 'A reason to fight' is the reason why I bought a Disturbed CD.
I found the official live video clip here on youtube and I cried in front of my laptop. It was so powerful, exactly the moment you describe, when he asks who suffers or knows someone who suffers from depression or addiction, and like all hands are rising...
That message is so important for me that I had to support it somehow, so I bought the CD.
As someone dealing with social anxiety, I don't think I'll ever try to go to any of their concerts as it seems to be always so crowded, but I bet it must be a strong experiencee.
Thanks for posting this. I'm a long time fan, and that story just made me a bigger fan.
Definitely one of the best covers, but I have to add Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt to the candidates
Simon and Garfunkel vocals were angelic. These vocals are like if God sang the song.
I love both!!!
Simon and Garfunkel’s version is a quiet warning. Disturbed’s version is an angry outcry that the warning wasn’t heeded.
I love both versions.
@@hickchick112 yes lol
YES!! I thought the same. an angry God
The man sings like an axe wielding Warrior King after winning a glorious battle
You are a poet ..........🖖🏻♥️
Perfect
❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Guy's got a lot of range."
Me: Give it a minute.
Same
Pretty much lol
My exact thought too!!
Yeah I said that out loud with a chuckle too!
Soooooo, which multinationally recognized, multi platinum band do you sing for?
As a seventy old grandma I don't understand how l missed "Disturbed " ...it actually made me cry . Words are SO important to me but Classical /Rock / Ballad / Pop ...also moves my Soul , it's too late tonight but tomorrow l shall call my grown up children and ask if they are aware of this incredible man with his amazing range and talent .
I'm 47 and I can safely say that most fans of metal or hard rock in the 35-50 year old range will tend to be familiar with Disturbed. They're a pretty major band in the genre. I grew up listening to bands like this along with other genres. I've seen them twice in concert over the years and they put on a heck of a show. In concert, the singer tends to let his more melodious singing style through more while their studio recordings have more staccato vocalizations. His range and power are quite impressive (not Mike Patton or Freddie Mercury levels of insane vocal range but still top notch).
As a band, Disturbed have quite a bit of talent and range (most good metal bands do - metal originated as a dark moody sub-genre of the blues and it's a very technical genre, unlike say punk rock) but do keep in mind that they are unapologetically a heavy metal band. This cover is not typical of their songs, leaning far more towards melancholy than their usual menu of rage and defiance. Their usual songs have plenty of heavy guitar, bass and drum accompanied by occasionally growled vocals (although Disturbed is known more for singing that transitions into animalistic growls for effect).
Like many of the heavy metal bands that gained popularity during the late 1990s and early 2000s, their music addresses a mix of personal trauma and societal ills (actually, these have always been common themes in metal but that era is littered with songs in that vein). Their lyrics can be quite powerful but they often lay bare pain and sorrow. If you do look up their other videos, please be aware that they often use disturbing imagery when it suits the song. For example, "Inside the Fire" and "Asylum" are both excellent but they are about how suicide impacted the singer's life, including years of nightmares and inner torment (and the videos bring those nightmares to life). It's heavy stuff and he taps some deep pain with that same powerful voice.
Disturbed do also tend to include one cover song on each album, often being songs that influenced them and/or that they can reinterpret to suit their style. "The Sound of Silence" is arguably their best cover although their cover of Genesis' 1980s classic "Land of Confusion" gives it very strong competition, really exploring the dystopian lyrics of the song of Phil Collins and friends wrote while changing the arrangement of the cheerful tune (needed to make the song palatable during the tail end of the Cold War) to suit the frustration, anger and hope in the lyrics better.
The contrast between the videos of each version is extremely dramatic, with the Genesis video being goofball and satirical while the Disturbed video is grim animation that amplifies the song's message about how screwed up and corrupt the world is. Ironically, the Disturbed video has a more hopeful ending (the people rising up against war, oppression and greed) than the original goofball Genesis video (a senile Ronald Reagan accidentally starts a nuclear war - a touch uncanny since it wasn't public knowledge that Reagan had Alzheimer's at the time).
@@paranoidrodent As a 70 year old who loves music (more jazz and Progressive Rock) I stayed away from Heavy Metal. I like their edginess but the music seemed so 'one note' and relentless (yes, that is the point). Since is love, love, love Genesis and their songs/lyrics I was drawn to 'Land of Confusion' and then stumbled upon 'Sound of Silence'. Blown away. Hearing Paul Simon's praise of it only adds a cherry to the sundae. 'Sickness' is way HEAVY. But I like your review and also sense the hope Disturbed conveys in this video. The ark as a Biblical reference for hope is wonderful and appropriate. What a strong, emotion filled rendition of a classic. Kudos to David Draiman's charismatic voice and style. BRAVO.
Beware...many of his songs are dark.
As a 30 year old guy who grew up with Disturbed, I can tell you most of their music isn't as traditionally "beautiful" is this. David Draimer, the lead singer, is trained ans well-versed in the classic vocal techniques, which is how he has such range. Much of which he implicates more subtlety into his music, which is primarily very loud and aggressive. On a surface level, it's not for most people. Much of Disturbed's music is expressive of unbridled rage, and is not very "pleasant" sounding in the traditional sense.
I'm 58 and listen to Disturbed
I am a 70 year old Great Grandmother, I have never been a head banger, hard rocker fan. This band, Disturbed are not of that same group that I am use to. Each and every time I have heard it, and I have heard it a lot, I get the goose bumpe. Just today alone I have listened to it at least 12 times and every time I have goose bumps. I appreciate you taking the time to listen, judgement free, to this amazing rendition.
I'm almost 76, an old hippie chick die-hard rock and roller. This cover is the absolute best cover that's ever been recorded.
@spunkygmahappy4778 I’m a 66 year old great grandma and a hippie chick head banger and this man has the best voice I ever heard. I cry every time I listen to it.
I have listened to a lot of their work, while some is not for me songs like this on is. I do hear some great lyrics in their music .
Another grandma here and ditto 😊
a comment on another reaction was: "the original was a warning. This one is a rage because the warning was not heeded". very apt. thanks guys!
I saw that reaction and totally agree!
I read that. Very apt.
And each generation gets warned of new dangers & each generation does not heed. We are hopeless
Paul Simon said he liked this version better than his original... I agree.
Once I read a Simon interview and he said Bridge over troubled water by Elvis was better than his ... I'm a great Simon fan, but ... I AGREE!!
You know that’s huge when you get a compliment like that! Same thing happened with NIN when Johnny cash did a cover of hurt.
I have always loved the Simon&Garfunkel version ...but imo this is a long way better..
wait, is this true?
@Dumb Stupid @Dumb Stupid yes, I cry every time I listen to this song, I cannot stop the tears from coming. Specifically Disturb's version though.
I am pretty sure that he is what angels sound like... the way his voice vibrates through your body. The power. The emotion. I actually played this for a patient to bring her blood pressure down. "How is a band named Disturbed supposed to help my blood pressure down?" "Can you put this on repeat?"
You deserve a raise.
When the singer David was asked “do you want the voice of an angel or demon?” His response, “Yes.”
David is fantastic. He actually trained for years to be a cantor just as his father and grandfather before him. However he said it still took him nearly 20 years to be able to do the Conan performance.
Paul Simon wrote to him after that performance and told him the song is his now. What a compliment!
There is hope in the song. They rescued the instruments, saw the people across the cavern, put the instruments on the boat to the people living in silence. It’s a raw, emotional version that you don’t just listen to, you feel it.
Eloquent interpretation!
It's a message of unity to me. We need to work together, like people and instruments...without each other both are useless. Together, the possibilities are endless. United we stand, divided we fall. Americans need this message more now than ever.
Couldn't help but notice they crossed the water in an Ark-looking boat!
Thank you
I couldn't have said it better!!!
If you watch the video closely, you will notice how the musicians are on one side of the water and the people with the music sheets are on the other side. The boat carries the musicians to the people. Bringing them together. The black and white video with all the fog is very post apocalyptic. Deep stuff.
Nice catch!
@@BabsisHere You didn't see that?
It implies that the instruments had to travel to the written music, because the writers were too afraid to break the silence, so the musicians made the first move, so the writers of the songs could finally be shared.
@@darthvader3550 I can run with that kind of squares it up of loose ends thanks
David Drayman has a degree also in Philosophy hence the depth of both the song and video
Paul Simon said Disturbed finished the message they were trying to convey.
Really??
I want this to be true, please don't tell me you made this up. Do you have a source?
Hoopy Frood don’t know if it’s completely true, but he has spoken to the singer of disturbed several times and has praised their song. Lots of covers have been made, and Disturbed’s version was the only one that he personally forwarded over his social media
@@HoopyFroodood There is an interview with David where he describes his conversation with Paul Simon at a party in Hawaii. This is true.
That brings me peace.
As is sometimes the case, the writers can almost get there, but then their message grows in the heart of someone else who brings it to full flower.
David Draiman was trained as a Cantor, his education including the years he spent in Israel were all focused on singing the Torah. He said for a long time after his girlfriend killed herself he turned from God, raged against God, and he says it shows in his songs. Today when asked he says "I am a Jew", 10 years ago he stated he had no faith. The messages in his music have changed as well, you can see hope, where before there was rage, anger, and hopelessness. The rage and anger are still there, but directed towards selfishness, greed, and the vices of the world. Their music now is more focused on government corruption, celebrity worship, and other things they see as destroying the beauty in the world.
Openly Satanic and yet the lost Sheep can still not see it.
@@harrynut3044 Get goin' twat waffle
@@jamstheshapeshifter David is a practicing Jew and Cantor.
As a messianic jew, I recognize David's message on a huge scale. His voice is God driven... ..
Don't forget he also has 3 degrees in political science, philosophy, and business admin as well as being pre-law
I don't think the song is hopeless, I believe it is song about breaking out of the hopelessness. "Silence like a cancer grows, Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you".
Beautiful
evidently they don't get the meaning of the song!!! and yes i am a christian!!
Right on! 😘
There a shining beacon of hope at the very end with the boat sailing across the divide.
100%, look at the end of the video where the boat crosses the separation with water and the shining light appears - if that not symbolize hope I don't know what.
It doesn’t matter how many times I hear this version, it brings tears to my eyes, every time
Every time I hear it, I'm not only left with tears in my eyes, but goosebumps on the back of my neck down to my arms.
Even Simon an Garfunkel were impressed with this cover
I've heard it actually brought Simon to tears. :)
@@RivkahSong Wow!
@The Memo Wow! Imagine your life as a musician being complete like this, making a cover over a Legendary duo's song and getting such compliment. What a wholesome thing!
@@RivkahSong it did?
I like the original, but I love this version. The best cover of the song, if not the best version ever.
Gryphon Arms USA - Agreed.
I couldnt agree more!!! 1st time I heard this it made me cry!!
Just how I feel ..
I absolutely agree with you. It's perfect.
I agree. I cry no matter when I hear this.
To me, this song makes me believe we can change our direction. It is not hopeless, we have a choice to make
Look at how many people claim to get it yet still have their heads buried in their phones most of the time and live completely on social media. Look at how many are so wrapped up in online politics that they are completely blind to the ramifications of it in real life. Look at how many people have their phones out at a concert instead of being in the moment… ironically when this song is being played. Gotta get that footage for yourself to post online for attention.
There really isn’t a lot of hope.
The Conan version shows the orchestra and shows how important they are to the song too. Outstanding cannot get enough!
Unfortunately David was sick with the flu when they did Conan... and some idiot at the show decided to autotune his live performance. When he found out, he declared he'll never do that show again.
Best description of the two versions is that the original was a soft spoken warning whereas the cover is an angry "you didn't listen to the first warning"
Perfect description.
That's a great take.
I don't get how this version is "angry"
the sickness was angry lol
@@deminybs compared to the original it is. But it's definately more angry Disturbed songs.
Couldn't possibly agree with you more Chaotic. #Truth #Fact #Undeniable #HeedTheWords
when asked about disturbed covering this song paul simon said it's not my song anymore.
now that is a compliment!
It certainly would be a compliment, but he didn't actually say that. He did say he liked this version, though.
You’re thinking about Hurt by Cash and Nine Inch Nails
That is the ultimate compliment!
This is the only song/version that has ever made me cry just because of the beauty and voice.
@@davidvasquez115 I'm a way bigger NIN fan than a cash fan and I'd rather listen to cash's version
this is amazing. but the live versions, especially one on Conan are truly soul touching. goosebumps and yes brings tears to eyes. I could listen to this song over and over and each time will be touched deep inside my soul. He voice is so amazing and to this date have never heard anyone who could do this song so perfectly
The power behind this version blows you away. I always get chills.
"this guy has some range"
David Draiman: hold my beer
Communion juice.
"Well more for me" (glug glug glugglugglug)
LMAO YEP
Well played,sir.
He is opera trained
Simon and garfunkel was a warning
disturbed was the anger the warning was ignored
Zathrus Pridham Nailed it!
Perfectly stated!
YES🙌
I've seen this comment before. It's true though
Amen!
I was born in 1962, known this song my whole life, felt years ago it was prophetic, I believe it shows as believers we want to reach people, the words " hear my words that I might teach you, take my hand that I might reach you "
You guys should look up David Draimans background. He grew up being in the choir in a synagogue and his voice is absolutely beautiful. I've been a Disturbed fan for many years and this is my absolute favorite song
He trained to be a cantor. We dont really have a choir in the way people think of a choir at Christian church.
People train for years, with most starting in Hebrew school (primary school,) in hopes of becoming one. The really neat part is he also comes from a long line of as well. His father and grandfather were both cantors .
His voice makes my whole body get the shivers. This cover is beautiful. Love Disturbed.
HEIDI .B. I agree. First time I heard it, I said his voice fit so perfectly with this song.
Honestly
His voice...those eyes...David Draiman is the complete package!! 😍😍😍
I agree. I can’t hear the last two verses without getting continuous goosebumps up and down my arms.
And good music is the only thing that can do that to me
This version is untouchable, period.
Paul Simon doing this at ground zero is pretty powerful also
Agreed
Dallas DautermanDallas Bobaflex does a cover of this. It’s decent, think this untouchable
Hold on, Henk Porth gave one at Beste Zangers, and i might say, it was quiet powerful....
Simon and Garfunkle's version of this song always felt like a warning when you grew up in this era. With this version of the song you see the warning has played out and this is the rage that the warning was ignored.
Very insightful. You hit the nail right on the head.
Wow! Insightful Erina!
David Draiman’s voice is absolutely incredible! The man can sing anything and make it new and powerful! Thank you for your reaction! I enjoyed your lovely dynamic together! You can tell what kind men you both are, the ministry is lucky to have you both! Have a blessed day ❤️!
i like it how this guys are the example of what a good christian should be open-minded and not eager to attack non christian things
I totally agree with you, I've run into to many people who claim to follow God, yet judge others, Judgement is reserved for God, not humans
@@chelimix4580 I do agree, however I've run into fellow Christians who when they attack sin, they do so in a way that is wrong. What I mean is, I knew someone who would immediately attack the person, calling them this and that, saying your going to hell and so on. Theres far better ways to help bring people to Christ. But yes attacking sin is something that should be done, not attacking the sinner.
Agreed
I agree
I don’t like people in general that attack me or others in general out of the blue or for very small reasons
But I see where some of them come from though
@@videohound2005 If a Christian is going to bring up somebody else's sin, they CANNOT "attack" the sinner. The sinner is just being who he NATURALLY is. You really cannot blame the sinner for doing what people who don't have the Holy Spirit to guide them do -- being human.
AS I've seen posted elsewhere, Simon and Garfunkel: A warning. Disturbed: Rage because the warning was ignored.
Good thinking. Probably true. Simon & Garfunkel tried to tell.
David Tilley certainly the message is more urgent.
I love that. You were warned. Now we have to do it , the bad way
I've watched tons of reactions to this song, and only one guy was like "makes sense that it starts with silence." and he was absolutely right.
"More connected through technology, yet more disconnected socially " Hit the proverbial nail directly on the head right there.
a heavy metal band the lead singer is a classically trained opera singer
That's a common misconception, but he was trained as a Cantor... not an opera singer.
Killswitch engage minus the singer are all trained musicians with explains how every single song has seamless transitions even during live shows
He made it very emotional!
There is a band like that, Nightwish.
...and many metal bsnds learned how to plsy classical INSTRUMENTS 😳!!
I have seen this so many times, EVERY TIME. CHILLS.
And years later, still gives me the chills, and sometimes to tears!
It brings tears
Me too 😭
Hi Jessica.. Every time I listen to this song I cry..same place,.sets me off. Just love it.
Totally agree. If you are not moved or get chills, your heart is all ready dead.
Disturbed did an AMAZING job with this song!!!❤
BEST COVER EVER. A deep song that the sixties couldn't express. We are now in the sound of silence. Seperate from ourselves and blinded by the screens light
I honestly feel this is the best cover of any song I've ever heard.
I think Whitney's cover of "i will always love you" is better.
Bad Wolves cover of Zombie is good too
It's great, but I'd put Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt up there too.
This and Johnny Cash's "Hurt" are tied as my two favorite covers of all time.
This version is powerful. Maybe the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard.
Try listening to their new album. It's called Evolution. It's about how people are being brainwashed into the lies that our world has convinced us are true and how he sold his soul and the regret that he gets out of it.
Sophie yes I agree!
Sophie Leanna listen to yesterday by Roy Clark. Amazing lyrics.
I had my 5 year old daughter listen and she started crying. I said baby whats wrong. She said "hes just so powerful!"
I will not die until this song is played at my funeral. This song brings tears for me as I interepate as us folks who deal with depression or PTSD. So moving when you look at this song this way. The darkness and silence being depression and PTSD and how many people die or suffer in silence. Often choosing to end their own misery. It's no joke folks...reach out to someone who may be suffering
Hearing this live is probably one of the most memorable moments of my life.
It's an amazing experience
I'd never heard of Dr. Purvis. Now I am impressed and I dare say, a fan! I thank both of you Gentlemen! God bless!
Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails - Hurt.... one of the most moving covers I've ever heard.
I still prefer nine inch Nails version but Cash knew his life was ending so he timed it perfectly
Hits me emotionally like this cover every time. Hurt makes you think back to friends and loved ones that have gone.
Another version you guys might want to check out is 2wei - sequels - hurt right here on YT. Another amazing cover of that song
Awesome cover. So much emotion in it
@Engineer Eagan that comes down to personal choice....... So it's way better...... For you
My mom 80 yrs old believe it or not is crazy about this version also! My husband loves Disturbed but this is done so beautiful it just brings tears to our eyes! Awesome job
I think that this song is relevant today with social media and cancel culture. "Silence like a cancer grows" to me it means that more and more people are afraid to talk. I think that this version is waking people up and saying,"Fight!".
This version is so reflective of what is going on in the world today. It’s a warning of what is here now and how we can overcome the darkness if we want to do it. This is the most amazing and hauntingly beautiful song…..and now after listening to this version of the song, I understand the message better. Disturbed and David did a phenomenal job communicating the future and how we can do better. I love it.
I disagree with the pastors, this song gives me hope, strength, determination,,,to get through each day!!!
yes, it feels like its time to stand up and fight, like a call to arms
I think metal is the most empowering genre out there.
Agreed
Be careful with what you put in your head, from an old rocker guy from the 80s. Lots of it was great, lots evil. Read lyrics first and stay away from demonic music, please.
@@brianmichaelbenjamin7318 Listen to some Behemoth my friend
I'd say rap and metal have that in common. Most other music is meant to appease instead of inspire thought.
There is a place where race,religion, sex or political bias mean nothing........in the Mosh Pit we are one !
I also grew up loving this song, when my daughter showed me this version I was yea sure a band called Disturbed is going to sing this song. I listened I LOVED it!
When people are lost in darkness you don't know up from down. I discovered Jesus's love through the darkness. I discovered the darker genre of music didn't make me commit immoral acts just helped me not feel alone. I've never fit in and it's finding your way alone because everyone you trust either abandons or you betrays you that makes you feel lost. Also dealt with darkness from loved ones dieing I was upset with our creator for several years because of the loss of the loved ones. Music that understands that darkness can be a blessing. Metal goes into the depth of darkness instead putting everything in God's hands without looking for the signs to find solutions. I've watched people become doormats or very judgmental because of their faith which made me struggle with the bible. I've actually found a church that respects my struggle and is helping me. That's how our creator works and darkness is there to show us Jesus's light. I'm trying to find light in the bible so if you've got any inspirational verses would like to know because that helps me with the bible. I think darkness is there to show us the light and the deeper we go the deeper in your subconscious thoughts you can go clear out sins you didn't realize were there. I knew that's what happened because I can't listen to the sadistic music and watch violent movies anymore. I don't have that rage anymore it's healed that's what I learned through decades of darkness. That working through pain you can find salvation with our holy creator and Jesus.
I have watched disturbed do this song a least 100 times. I never get sick of them. I get emotional every time I hear it.
This song and it's presentation by Disturbed is extremely powerful and moving. I too get emotional every time I hear this. I feel that if one is not moved emotionally when listening to this version, one is dead inside.
Michael Crane for sure Mike!!
I find hope in this version. They could not change the lyrics so he presented them with anger not hopelessness as the video showed us hope. A call to arms. Picking up the instruments and writing songs. In the end bringing hope to the lost masses. That is how I saw it.
Not just writing songs but actually sing them. Out loud.
Their cover of Genesis' Land of Confusion does something similar. It is sung with anger and as a call to arms. Their video is far darker overall too yet it ends with hope for the people fighting back and bringing about change (while the original satirical goofball video ended with a senile Reagan starting a nuclear war).
I've been watching reaction videos to this song lately, and i really appreciate that fact that you gentlemen listened to the song all the way through, treating the artist and song with respect= and this is the first time I cried listening to this song. I was 6 when this song came out and i remember hearing the words, yet the impact wasn't anywhere nearly as powerful as when Disturbed did the cover. Thank you.
By listening to your review, Pastors. I missed being a born again christian. Good to hear some enlightenment from both of you. ❤️
Paul Simon said this is his favorite cover of the song.
not only that the cover was the bet but in whole he made the song much better gotta take a lot from an artist to say you just took my stuff to a whole new lvl ;) and he sure did his voice is so powerful seen them 2 time live ;O)
u have a link to that?
i only found this : "In case you missed it, Disturbed did a wonderful rendition of "The Sound of Silence" on Conan this week. The S&G cover also appears on Disturbed's latest album, Immortalized."... taken from Paul Simon facebook

@@ThekiBoran Record it with my phone?
Wow. My son wouldn't complete law school after saying the same thing. And he likes this band. I will have to tell him that. Blessings
Same here, one of my dream job until a grew up, started studying, and discovered the terrible truth, I have standards, and I wouldn't be able to do this job. I would never be able to look at myself in the mirror or even stay calm and not burst in rage when I protect someone who's clearly isn't innocent, he don't deserve it.
This version is amazing and this guys voice is just phenomenal. Power and emotion
This version is amazing. The words represented in this way really hit you
Yes, the lyrics are hopeless, but I think David's genius as a singer comes from that "growl" you speak of. It's anger, and anger is proactive. The anger in his voice becomes a rallying cry. We must join forces and 'rage against the dying of the light', or in this case, the sound. The growl itself, is hope.
Absolutely. This song, to me, is a 'trumpet' from heaven call to overcome the 'silence' and take authority over the passivity and the 'falling away' which Christianity of this nation has partaken of. :)
Yes
Lesley, well said. I would have made the same comment, but you already did. 👍🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@JohnnyCoolBreeze good! Seperation of church and state is in the constitution
Anger is an energy-John Lydon
This is what people should do when they cover songs! Instead of copying it completely they should put their own spin on it to emphasize a meaning or an ideal.
I agree. Gary Jules' remake of Tears For Fears' "Mad World" was similar: an improvement upon the original. Unique and different sound.
Absolutely! Great comment.
I agree, I also think the Jonny Cash version of 'Hurt' is brilliant. Even Trent Reznor himself said it was Jonny's now.
Agreed. Probably one of the best examples is “All along the watchtower” by Hendrix. Made it his own.
You guys are a breath of fresh air coming from a Catholic background, open mindedness and inclusivity is such an incredibly important aspect to organized religion and faith to me. Thank you for this!
The tone and the visual however shows a rage and people uncovering and reclaiming abandoned and damaged instruments, taking back the purpose of these instruments and tools to be heard and to communicate with people. Its an interesting way to show rebellion and reclaiming a time that was more interactive.
This is why I like watching your reviews:
1. Christians are stereotyped as closed-minded
2. As Christians you are smashing that stereotype
3. All without seeming too preachy.
Great stuff, guys. Keep expanding your musical horizon!
I mean by definition you believe in god you are close-minded.
@@TheModernSnipez The assertion God is real is equally as presumptuous as the claim he is not. Disagreements on faith shouldn't separate us.
@@discoverisrael9742 thats why Atheists are the most open minded.
Well said, my dude. Good vs God = o difference ;)
Jacob Goldberg it’s really not the same. Is presuming pink unicorns don’t exist as presumptuous as saying they do? One an opinion asserted without any evidence, the other is an opinion because there is no evidence. That’s completely an intellectually different. On every level.
If you get goosebumps from music you have a special brain :) I have it , too ♥
This one makes me cry.
This is actually true about getting goosebumps
Every time I hear it....goosebumps!
I get goosebumps with music too
Everytime I hear it!
Very curious to hear this reaction. I was raised by a God fearing father who also was a musician and child of the 60s/70s.
This song had a very important message in the 60s. The only issue was that Simon and Garfunkel were too sweet. Their sound just wasn't dark enough for these lyrics.
Along comes Disturbed and David's voice. They gave this song the sadness, darkness and anger that it needs. The song now hits right in the soul if you know the lyrics well enough.
I could listen and watch this cover every day. And I do. The passion, the technical expertise, I don't much care for the pretentious commentaries, but there's no denying the power, the artistry;. I've listened to this song most if my life but this is the first time I "heard" with my soul.
Fun Fact: Disturbed has been wanting to cover this song for YEARS but didn't try to until they knew they could do it justice.
The Disturbed "growling" song that was first referred to is called Down with the Sickness. It's about the cycle of child abuse passed from one generation to the next. Awesome song!
oh ah ah ah ah lololol
Tis "the Sickness" after all.
@@numberletter1312 I don't get the joke? Maybe child abuse is funny?
And the iconic scream was a primal reaction to the music that stuck and got the band stuck in your head and soul. Success. Mic drop.rock on
Yes!! Disturbed does not get enough credit for the value of their lyrics & music!! They have messages that are powerful & meaningful. Their newest album is so important to what we are seeing & living daily.
Just found David Draiman by listening to his rendition of Sound of Silence. Love it!!! I've also been reading and listening to everything I can about David. Love this man!!!!! I will be praying for him and that he will see his need for Jesus. ❤❤❤
Your mom and I are from the same era. My 30 year old nephew introduced me to this version. It causes tears and chills every time. I love that a song like this from nearly 60 years ago is even MORE important now than when it first came out.
David kills the song. I've been a fan of Disturbed for years. And when this song came out, it was such a difference from their norm. It almost gives me the chills as he delivers his vocals throughout.
I remember when he almost killed his voice. The scream was wrong and too much. He took time off, and came back better than he ever was before!
This song live was one of the most beautiful experiences I have had. He nailed it and the energy through that venue was incredible.
@@gunthersquirrel5685 he also had surgery on his throat. Unfortunately the thing they repaired is shot again. But, you're absolutely right. He came back much stronger.
Same on all accounts, I stopped listening to them for quite a while honestly, then this cover came out and brought me right back in
Gives me chills every time I hear it!
General public: Heavy metal bands are a one trick pony."
Disturbed: "Hold my Manischewitz!"
Symphonic and some other metal bands are typically fronted by classically trained singers. Often quite brilliant ones like Floor Jansen or Brittney Hayes/Slayes.
As long as it's not Mogen David! That's awful Kosher wine! 🤢
@@crhu319 They kind of need to be. To sing with the kind of growl and vocal fry that some of them do you would need some form of proper training or risk doing terrible damage to your vocal cords.

@@nobodyshome 🤢🤢🤢
Its 2021 but I'm just now seeing this review! Love this version. 100% relevant and beautiful and has made me cry countless times. Couldn't ever get over the video though.
Everyone commented on the song, noone on the video. It's a masterpiece and completes the song ideally, giving all the messages it carried. Love it. 🧡
At the end of the video the boat coming to the people each person carried a musical instrument and the people on shore had the lyrics they wrote...they come together. To say it was a hopeless and helpless song is subjective...I believe each generation has something to teach each other...we just need to listen...
And the sun is just coming out as the boat comes to shore!
You, as pastors, might appreciate the lines;
"Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
How often does the silence win?
@@MySlash2006 ❤👍
Paul simon wrote the song originally, because of a friend of his going bling it has absolutely nothing g to do with religion. And the album did not even do good at first and simon and Garfunkel broke up after the album was released.
@@rogerdavis9607 you are being didactic here. The song is the issue. Sometimes a song writer will write a little ditty, nothing important and the next thing you know it's a number one hit world wide and the writer is going "what the hell just happened?" It is the people who decide what the song means, how the song speaks to them. The people who give life to the song.🎶🎶🎶🎵🎼
it's winning now everyone's afraid of the far left UA-camrs saying sorry for jokes they made and stuff.
It is a very moving song.
And the words can mean
differently to everyone.
But now in Sept 2020 ,it
seam to really go with
what is happening now
in America. This country
is not the same since TRUMP
took office. America will
NEVER BE THE SAME.
Dude with hat NAILED it. People have always talked without speaking, heard without listening. We have left the hard thing unsaid and struggled to understand others. This song is as relevant now as it was almost two generations ago because while technology advanced, people are still the same, with the same failings and the same strengths.
This sends chills down my back every time I hear this song!
Beyond ridiculously good.
Beyond ludicrously great.
It's gone to plaid.

I'm a 40 yr old atheist and got here by watching a bunch of different videos. I'm glad you guys did this video and can be open minded. Keep up the good work and remember all people are different and the same.
Atheist are like vegans, you sont even need to ask, they will tell you within the first 5 minutes what they are.
Atheists replace God with government.
This version is fabulous! The Sound of Silence has special meaning to me. 20 years ago, I left the hustle and bustle and moved to the Desert to find my soul. The Desert Sky at night taught me to hear God. To me, silence and darkness are Holy. It opens my heart to the Glory of God.
I love what you say about being so connected but further apart,that is so true,This is a great reaction video by you guys.God Bless.
You 2 really break the Christian Stereotype.
As an atheist, let me tell you: You're performing the "preach by example" flawlessly; that, sires, is a compliment.
Who cares what you think.
More people than who care what you think
@@wufongtanwufong5579 Wow dude. would you have cared if he didn't say he was an atheist? Just curious, cause I have known people who treat others like the plague once they find out somebody is an atheist even if they have known them for years. It's not like being an atheist makes his opinion any less valid than yours, or anybody else.
@@raymanspy95 Yeah, we Christians really need to clean up our act if we truly want to win souls for the Kingdom. Love is kind, patient, long-suffering, and I can't remember the rest of the list. But you get my point. The only two commandments given to Christians by Jesus Christ were to love the Lord our God, and LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR as much as we love ourselves. *smh* We've got a long way to go, folks... God bless.
The people who don't live by preaching by example they're not real questions honey.
As a Christian myself, I love hearing two pastors react to/discuss one of my all time favorite covers!
Same here!!!
this band has been my fav for years but this song hits home bc i battle depression eveyday
@@sonofasinner86 i know that shit sux!! Depression is real!! I know its easy to lay down but try to get out and get endorphins pumping..and some sun..it actually helps..sending prayers man!!🙏💞💓💞🙏
JT LUCAS my prayers are with you. Keep fighting it warrior! And God bless you and keep you my man.
This is one of my favourite covers of all time ! This song tells a story , the original is great , dont get me wrong , but it doesnt make you feel the story behind it , but this Disturbed cover gives you the feelings that the song was supposed to pass you ! It gives me goose bumps every single time .
I love the emotion not just in his voice but also in his facial expressions. Makes you really feel invested in the song. Very powerful interpretation of the original. He did a great job of staying true to the original while adding his own flare into the song and making it his own.
"Starting out kind of slow though"
It took you guys 5 minutes to get to the actual content.....
Touche LOL
Lol
Preach
Preach to the preachers lol
that WAS part of the message, like a durge... a durge is ominous and not actually to be enjoyed
As a agnostic person who is not religious I appreciate what you are doin on this channel I think it's a great service. Music can be enjoyed by all despite religion or belief...keep up the videos you earned a subscriber with me. Great job
@Big Bosseseses Colossians 3:10-11
@Big Bosseseses John 13:34. Just because someone else lives in sin doesnt mean you get to harass them and constantly insult them. We all sin and you are not fit to be the judge
@Big Bosseseses look how ignorant this person is, just till me where's that hell located anyway .
@Big Bosseseses i never said that it contained the additional comments. Thats why they aren't in quotations.
@Big Bosseseses do you know how to read English? I never said that I put quotations.
5:16 "starting out kinda slow tho"
It literally took 5 mins for you to get to the reaction. LMAO
I am 54, and there is no doubt that this version carries so much more weight than how Simon and Garfunkle sang it.
its a sad song, but i still feel that it gives a sliver of hope...note, that he is speaking in past tense
he has seen the stupidity of man, but he survived, and can now tell the story as warning
this version is MUCH more powerful , than the original.
it didnt make me cry at all..i just got something in my eye
the wole song is a vision (he dreamt it). A vision implies you can change it.
@kim rasmussen
> it didnt make me cry at all..i just got something in my eye
Might be those sneaky ninjas which are always lurking in the shadows of my flat and sometimes launch surprise attacks by furiously chopping onions.
They probably have opened a new chapter near you. Bastards.
It feels like a progression. Simon and Garfunkel were despair. Disturbed were anger. Next comes action.
That is a cool way to think about this songtext. At the first time I listened to it I started to cry at the middle of the song..and sometimes, mood does matter, too.
This is my favorite cover of this song his vocal range he uses in this song is amazing!
David Draiman's voice is spectacular! Powerful and penetrating. ❤
Hi
Thank you for playing the song all the way through, making comments as you go.
