This is my reaction to my first time hearing Sound of Silence by Disturbed. I really love this band and David Draiman and it amazes me how I never make time to dive into them unless it's for a reaction.

❤ HI 👋 IM A SEXUALLY ASSAULTED CHILD 🧒 I WAS WHEN I WAS 7 or 8 AT THE TIME, NOW 55 I WANT EVERYONE TO RELAY THIS MUSIC 🎶 NOW WITH YOUR EYES 👀 CLOSED AND IMAGINE A CHILD 🧒 AT THAT AGE GOING THREW HIS LIFE WERE HE WAS AFRAID OF THE PERVERSION THAT THEY HAD , AND WOULD NOT DO TOO OTHERS JUST INFLECTING PAIN ON HIM BUT NOT TO OTHERS, MEANING BEING A PEDOPHILE
CONTINUE,GOD HAS MARKED THE 144.000 TO DEFEND THE INNOCENCE THE CHILDREN 👶 THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN, WHY DO YOU THINK 🤔 TRUMP IS GOING AFTER CHILDREN 👶 TRAFFICKING
Yup. Simon & Garfunkel originally did it. But once you hear this version, you can’t un-hear it. Great video.
Not to mention, Simon and Garfunkel themselves like this cover of their song
Paul Simon gave them his blessing and said he really likes it. Best form of flattery that Disturbed did, also like there song " HOLD ON TO MEMORIES"
It's up there with Johnny Cash's "Hurt" they may not have created it but it is now theirs.
@@GymH2Oxy agreed completely💯❤️✌️🙏
This version is even more emotionally charged. It’s incredible.
Simon and gatfunkels version was a warning of where humanity was headed, disturbed's version is the rage and somber tone of the warning ignored
Well said nzstump. ☮️
I had not thought of it in this light. Well said.
This comment appears in just about every reaction video to this song.
@@1989NickyD and usually it's me saying it
@@nzstump0152 Nah, it's several different people.
There aren't a lot of songs that can still bring tears to my eyes, but this is one of them.
Agreed, it’s piercing.
go listen to 1916 by either sabaton or lemmy !
same
Seriously? It seemed more like a freak, screaming at the top of his lungs in some portions. Not very Celine Dion 'ish'. lol
For me Snuff by Corey Taylor does the job
Disturbed is a band that shows the darker side of life many don't want to talk about
Yup. They are beyond amazing. Each song tells a story of sorts, some good and some bad. But either way they make Magic!
If they don't play this version at my funeral, I'm not going!
Winning the internet!! LOL
As other commentators have said on other reactions... Simon & Garfunkel sang the original warning Disturbed sang the anger of an unheeded warning.
Thank you for your insights and your reactions.
The Pentatonix version is what happens when the warning is heeded.
A lot of people think the Conan show version is better but personally I think this one,done in the studio with the added video clips is amazing,for me the visuals really add something to the song.The ending with the boat load of musicians crossing over to meet up with the song writers and the sun rising to dispel the fog,amazing.
I agree. I think some folks just automatically like live versions of songs with the implication that a studio version is somehow fake. I do concede that there are a lot of artists who only sound good on a studio track.
Yes I like the live version, it's awesome but I prefer the studio version because he is able to play with dynamics more. ☮️
Totally agree. The live version is so strong, but the M/V just hits deeper and stronger for me, no question.
Don't you hate when UA-cam plasters those popup ads/links for other videos over the end of music videos (and sometimes right in the middle of them)? Music videos are quite literally someone's ART. It's like a painter that pours his heart and soul into creating something beautiful on a canvas... and then some uncultured clod comes along and slaps bumper stickers on it. It tells you everything you need to know about the disrespectful children running this platform.
I agree 100%.
To understand the lyrics, you must know the story behind them. Art Garfunkle went to Columbia in New York. He met a guy named Sanford Greenberg who loved music and literature like Garfunkle and they became great friends and soon roommates. One day Greenberg was at a baseball game and his eyes started failing on him. Soon he was completely blind. Greenberg quit school and went home and fell into a great depression. Garfunkle visited him often trying to convince him to get back to Columbia. Garfunkel told Greenberg to call him "Darkness" in sympathy. With a great deal of help from Art, Sanford did come back to Columbia. Garfunkel helped him to class, filled our forms and papers, etc. One day Garfunkle took Greenberg to Grand Central Station (10,000 people, maybe more.) Garfunkel told Greenberg he forgot he had to be somewhere and up and left him there to find his own way home (over streets of cobblestone...) Greemberg found the right train and in his mind he saw the graffiti on the subway walls. Greenberg finally made it back and bumped into someone who said, "sorry." Greenberg recognized Garfunkel's voice. Garfunkel was with him all the way home. Greenberg got his confidence back, went back to school and when Garfunkle needed money to get his first record cut, Greenberg gave him his last $400. With that Sound of Silence was published. Sanford Greenberg went on to Harvard and Oxford and became a wealthy businessman.
Do you have a source link for this story? I would truly like to check it out. I've known this song since I was a little girl and I hadn't heard this version of events concerning [the background of] it. Thanks in advance.
This was written by Paul Simon not by Garfunkel.
WOW, I never knew this story - and I date back to the Simon & Garfunkel version .... THANK YOU
One of the greatest covers i have ever heard.
I have been diagnosed with PTSD. This song spoke to me the second I heard it. I am a HUGE Disturbed fan. This was gold to me. I wholeheartedly agree that silence is in fact worse than saying the wrong thing and that void which is left is filled in instantly with everything the mind is biased to, good or not. Dealing with your demons of what you have done in your life, who that effected and how spiritually you have to come to grips it. It's not easy. Faith, a supportive loving family and 2 undeniable friends (along with my 2 German Shepherds) kept me from losing my mind. Today, I am well adjusted, faithful, and grateful for all I have and have been thru. God is truly great.
To those on the edge:
A permanent solution to a temporary problem is not the answer. Eating a Glock, or an OD is NOT the answer. You are going thru what you are going thru because God created you to be able to withstand anything thrown at you. He would never give you something you can't handle. There is always a lesson to be learned. You might not see it; it might not be obvious but believe it. I have seen the depths of hell and I'm still here. Life experiences I now have had have a lifelong passion to honest discussions about the evil of drugs, the lie that "oh I'm ok to dive after a few drinks" and mental illness IS real. I have loved and lost loved ones to those evils. What I didn't lose is my faith. Because of my faith, I still have my sanity.
#GOD #GODISGREAT #PRAY #DISTURBED #MENTALAMANDA #AMERICAFIRST
Keep the faith amigos!

@PatricKelly-xb2ir Thanks for the help here my friend. I know that song as well. (Ok the whole Disturbed catalog!) I do have my new mission. My mission is, as it has always been, to serve God, serve my family + extended family and serve my country. At 61, I can still serve and no better place to start than with the almighty.
Much love and support my friend. Stay the course. God will never leave you or ever hang you out to dry. May you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Watch your 6. Every day there seems to be a new level of stupidity.

When David opens his eyes on "Vision"....just, wow ! He looks straight into your soul
To me, this by far is the greatest cover I have ever heard. The original was perfect but this elevated even that to a higher level. I’d say this version is absolutely a perfect song.
Believe it or not, the live version is even better.
David Draiman has an amazing voice.
I've been to a concert. They are awesome live.
Have you seen the live version with David and Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge performing this as a duet?
@@BrotherPraetus no I have not.
@@firefighterchick it is pretty amazing.
First time watching your channel. As someone who battled depression for a very long time, I love the fact that you are using your platform to talk about mental health issues that most avoid. I struggled for roughly 26 years with severe depression. To make a long story short I turned back to God and started serving in church in youth ministry and after 5 or 6 months I realized that I was no longer depressed. I still have a few minor issues with it here and there but it's finally so much better for the last 20 years. I really appreciated what you said at the end of the video about the things people say, meaning well but it definitely pushes you down even more.
God bless
Really surprised we didn't get tears from you. It gives me goose bumps and I get teary every time. This song is so powerful, especially with his voice. A couple of different interpretations on this but it works either way.
Amanda! Wow! I LOVE your commentary and interpretation of this song! I watch tons of reaction videos that I don’t comment on much, even the ones I quite enjoy. Again, all I can really say is wow!! Your insight helped me gain an even deeper appreciation for one of my all time favorite songs with a message that packs a punch! That message now is even more clear and powerful for me! And I love your spiritual perspective as well!! Thank you for your words! It made me better! This was a very easy decision to become a subscriber! Thank you!!
Omg I love your reaction and your vibe so much. You truly are a gem we all need in our lives. You’re a beautiful soul.
I hope all is good for you. You are a beautiful soul. Wish nothing but the best for you and your well being. This is such a beautiful version of this masterpiece
Hearing you actually putting your own interpretation of the lyrics was definitely eye-opening, and a breath of fresh air! You got a new subscriber, because I've been diagnosed with bipolar and a few other issues, and hearing your take actually validated my my personal resonance with this cover of the song. Thank you for being you!
Great reaction, and I love your thoughts on the lyrics. They have so many amazing songs, and they do put so many deeper meanings into them.
Great reaction. Love the headphones. Keep up the great work.
Beautiful reaction. The world is a better place with you in it Amanda. ❤
💯I listened to your story…So glad you made it❣️ I would’ve missed out of your plain spoken Wisdom. You Hit the Nail right on the head. So funny how words are taken so many different ways. To me (ptsd person) it makes sense, but try to have family understand…Crazy what are they not getting..probably…. the pain, shame, incredible sadness, grief…should I go on?
I'm a huge S&G fan, and seldom do I say this, but Disturbed blew this outta the park 😎
I love the original, and I love this. Fantastic reaction - glad you did the video! The ending, where you have the people who can play the music sailing towards the people who write the music but they haven't met yet, has a seed of hope amid the anger that the warning was ignored (see other comments), but it doesn't show a happy ending. We all need a bit of hope, but not false hope, so I think that was a great balance to strike.
Simply wanted to contribute to the breaking of silence by sending you a note of appreciation. You look young and beautiful and yet you speak with insight and wisdom that I would normally only attribute to a much older person. Im sure your presens on the tube is a very valuable contribution to people struggling with mental health or other issues. Watched your video on disturbed and the song about Davids experience with suicide. Your strong and sincere reaction immediately opened every door or helped to dismiss the silence if you will. Well done and best regards ❤
I like this version, but the live show on Conan is just amazing. David shows his human side and pure talent much better in the live version IMO :)
I am so glad that you are doing this song video!
Paul Simon wrote it in 1963. I feel David made this song what it needed to be. What a great performance, what a great musical arrangement.
Disturbed are so involved in helping with mental health first hand and with their audience. Incredible guys.
Hold onto memories is very emotional, worth listening to
The live version really shows his vocal range
💯 It’s a masterpiece!
Only very few that can go back and forth from grit to clean so easily
Good to see you found your way out of that dark place and are now involved in helping others. Great song indeed; better than the original. Continued good luck to you and much happiness :)
I needed this. I needed you. Thank you. I had no idea. You have a gift. I really needed this?
Glad you survived your suicide. Keep on giving. You help more people than you know. Youre a beautiful soul, and again, glad youre still here 🙏
Thank you for your reaction to this. You understood this. The song is as old as me. It was a warning then, now it is a "in your face warning". They got my attention for the urgency of the message now!
This is the song that turned me onto this band. I love everything they done.
When you opened with the theme of the dangers of isolation, I was reminded of a thought I’ve had before. Many times, when someone has been lost to the rest of us, as in perished, there is often a very deciding factor: they were alone. Whatever the crisis was, there was no one else there who could’ve saved them. So I’ve realized the presence of others is vital at times. Surely the most during those experiences which threaten a level of darkness. And this rendition of the song is dramatic, powerful and outstanding.
Every interpretation I’ve heard, was that music was lost for children, especially. Your take on it gave me chills. Knowing what I do about Disturbed and their music style helps me to know you are spot on! Thank you❤️
Gives me chills every time.
Hello my darkness my old friend...can't tell you how much that resonates with me. You're a great person and I'm subscribed.
Love this video and the images with David's magnificent voice highlighted. So glad you too discovered this Simon and Garfunkel cover and like me were stunned by such a powerful and lovely rendition from Disturbed. Such a surprise. They bring an emotional depth to this great song. Now I have to see if you have reviewed their cover of Genesis' Land of Confusion.
I have fallen down the rabbit hole watching react videos on this song. Just perfection. Someone had said if God sings he/she would sing like this. Just a wonderful version.
You are so interesting and I absolutely love your expressions when watching and listening to songs. Especially this one.
hiya amanda! just found your channel! great videos!
Maybe the best music video, ever! Perfect comments, Amanda!
You are not alone.
Love from Sweden.
I haven't yet watched this... But before I begin, I am a survivor myself, and this song makes me happy to be alive. I just had to watch your reaction. I am sure that I will comment again once I've actually heard what you have to say.
Great insight!! 🔆🥰🔆
Very powerful cover song .. loved it 💯.. stay good Ms Amanda 💯❤️✌️🙏🤘
David knocked it out of the balll park... ❤❤❤
Gotta add this, you are more spiritual than most people I have ever met. Thank you for being you.
A very original response, tying the lyrics to the lack of listening/not listening, feeling alone, etc. Typically, and in my case, it's really about the silence of society in the face of injustices, etc., but I think it works beautifully the way you approach it.
This version always brings me to tears this very powerful stuff.
thank you for this.. I lost my partner of 9 years.. and we played this at her service.. thank you so much.. im a heap of thrash ever since.. but vi=deos like this help me
David , the lead singer is a HUGE advocate of mental health.
Cry my eyes and heart out every time this plays. I can’t help it!
This is an amazingly beautiful song with a powerful message and I love both Simon and Garfunkel’s original as well as this version. David Draiman’s vocal talents are truly stunning.
You should check out the live version of this song where Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge joins them on stage to harmonize with Draiman.
I found it really interesting to hear an interpretation that saw the song as being focused on the individual person and their needs. I've always heard it as being more a comment on society at large, with the "sound" of silence being the clamour of millions of people talking past each other. It's noisy, but in terms of meaning it may as well be silence. Thank you for opening my eyes to another possible reading.
The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is sad resignation.
The Sound of Silence by Disturbed is DAMMIT!
This is a cry for those who have no hope, wanting to be heard, but are cast aside! This cry we share, are a final act of what those feel don't have! Family, friends, a stranger, before the final act of ending it! I've left you messages and comments, your great!! But your now, my demons, and my dark soul have taken all I'm worth and I'm sad because the fight! My tears, are nearing a end, I know is coming! This community is awesome, I'm a struggling person beyond reality, I'm just trying to live another day, but don't feel I can!! Being in crisis is a fine line, I think choosing goodbye is best for all!! God bless this community I wish the best for all!!!
PLEASE email me or send me an Instagram message. I don't always see my comments quick enough. We'll get you through this! We care if your light goes out!
First time viewer. I was a bit surprised by your take on the song but it makes sense. As others have already pointed out it is about society's inability to communicate with each other on a meaningful level (and the danger in that) due to the distractions of our daily lives (but primarily technology). Your take on communicating with those going through mental illness is certainly a aspect of that. The song is even more relevant today (with people not being able to look up from their phones and have an actual conversation).
In case you are unaware. The lead singer of Disturbed (David Draiman) has had his own issues with mental health and is a huge mental health advocate.
On your thoughts including religion. Not religious myself but your thoughts on 'preaching' are very valid for myself although for slightly different reasoning. I got all the usual religious platitudes you mentioned and more in dealing with my anxiety from my family. I repeatedly spoke about not wanting to hear it and if they want me to respect them for their religious beliefs they need to respect that I have no interest and don't want to hear it. My objections to this time and again fell on deaf ears. As a result I completely cut off my family and have not spoken to any of them in over seven years.
I will say further on mental illness one of the other major issues I had was expectations from close family and friends just assuming I would snap out of it and be the old me. Those kind of expectations are not only unreasonable but also completely dismissive of something very real I was dealing with.
Back to the song. "Silence like a cancer grows", are the most important words in this song for me and is the warning of things to come if the inability to communicate is not corrected. The phrase the silence is deafening' was never truer for me than on 9/11 as the world (and in particular those in North America) watched in stunned silence as the day played out. That said, once again, it makes sense how you interpreted the song and that is also and important message but the true message is so much more vast and important to not just the future of those dealing with mental illness but to all of mankind.
Hi Amanda, you are great and talk so much sense! i just love this version, David is amazing. Have you heard Corvyx's version of this?
Loved it. Great song and cover. In your darkness speak up seek help, Don’t be a statistic. Been in the darkness before and found out that I was the light in my darkness. With seeing my light I was able to speak up seek help. My psychiatrist has been a great help along with some family and a few close friends. Now I’m on a spiritual journey and loving life. Oh I have Clinical Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Life is different now but then better
You owe it to yourself to find and listen to the original version written and sung by Simon and Garfunkel. Both are very powerful, but unique in their emotion.
Ironically enough, I actually went and listened to the original one day and I kid you not, I could NOT convince myself to enjoy it. But yet I listened to Disturbed's version and not only did I actually comprehend the lyrics but I absolutely LOVED it xD It's now in my list of favorite songs xD
This song speaks to my Soul… found it when deeply depressed … and would wake up with my cptsd seeds in my brain.. The Vision… OH My 😢
Hey Amanda I see you are going stronger and I've talked to you before about our shared life experiences. I have grown to be comfortable in my own skin and ignore the negative (black clouds) to focus on the positive. My Mum has advanced dementia and I've definitely got to get my shit together to find the right nursing home for her, my old struggle is now insignificant compared to hers.
But yor struggle is still real. Sure, someone always has it worse, but all struggles matter!
Brother i hear your words Here I am at almost 63 and my Mom is in the same situation with dementia, Life is no bowl of cherries. But as you stated got to set aside my personal struggles right now to work on moms. As in all realism her struggles are now part of mine. Keep looking for the positives
My favorite song of all time, this version! It's amazing! David Draiman is amazing!
Yep, this song has so much more with this version. It’s pretty incredible. It’s a rough one to listen to because of it. Emotionally charged and sung perfectly in my opinion.
Unfortunately, the "perfection" in David's vocals it's because they were pitch-corrected. I'm sure David didn't agree with it one bit but I guess the record label executives didn't leave him much choice. It's a shame that we are being devoided of the human element in music, which is ironic because that's exactly what Disturbed wanted to protest about with this video.
@@module79l28 ok, most are. Watching the video and seeing a nice comment. The first thing you thought of was something negative? You couldn’t just have your own comment or just said something nice? What ever. Hope you feel better getting that off your chest. Smh
@@module79l28Just shut up…
Goose bumps. The original was good but this is fantastic.
When you said you were familiar with Disturbed, I was just waiting to see the look on your face when this played. I wasn't disappointed.
You r a legend u are .i am not a stalker but u r such a genuine loving person
The first time I heard this version I had tears rolling down my face x
David is also an incredible advocate for mental health. I ❤ him!
I love your reactions. I think i have too many things in my algorithm that you don't come up enough but I have loved watching your journey.
Kiss the bell so you get notified!
I've been hoping you would do a reaction of this song, and I'm glad you picked the music video instead of the live version.
I expected that your perspective on it would be right on target - and you surpassed my highest hopes!
You instantly understood what the song is all about, and I love what you said about it in terms of faith. I've encountered the same kind of "Religianity" more times than I care to remember. Your insight on this shows a great deal of spiritual maturity, and goes to the heart of what is really SUPPOSED to be fundamental to Christianity; compassionate Christ-likeness.
I know I'll almost certainly never meet you in this world, but I pray that I will in paradise. You seem like one of the most genuinely good-hearted people around. Thank you for sharing your amazing self - and for the times you've shared your own pain with complete strangers like me. I knew that sharing our burdens makes them lighter. But you've shown me the next step beyond that: Your sharing of your burdens through this chanel has lightened my own burdens, in spite of my never having shared a single one of my burdens with you. Thank you for that.
You have been and are a blessing to me.
I feel like I'm supposed to add one more thing:
You are also 'enough'. And you're Not 'too much'. ...The twin lies of being 'not enough', yet somehow still 'too much' are some of the most terrible weapons the enemy hurls at us - and especially at women, who he hates more than any man.
You are enough, and I'm glad you're my sister. 😇
Take care of your heart
PS: This may be the most reacted-to song on UA-cam.
I've seen at least a hundred of them - most of which have been pretty good - but I think yours is the insightful and encouraging of them all.
David Draimen is not a particularly religious person, but in his youth he was a classically trained Jewish Cantor. He is the only band member without tattoos in respect for his Jewish family.
Yeah, I thought it looked like he didn't have any ink. Was guessing it was probably faith-related.
Oops! I just heard on your live chat that you're not a believer. Guess I misunderstood. (No shock there; that happens all the time!)
I've made it a conscious decision ever since I became a believer (~12 years ago) to not try to push my beliefs on other people, and I hope that's not how my words came across.
This is the first live chat I've ever watched, by anyone. Laughing myself silly watching you two try to moonwalk! Glad you can laugh at yourself - and aren't afraid to do so in front of the world.
I enjoyed watching your facial expressions and most especially your eyes as the song progressed. Recognition and some joy were reflected in your face.
Just my opinion.
Same
He is a great singer. Professionally trained
Did you happen to see his interview with Elizabeth of "The Charismatic Voice"? It was amazing. He's such a grounded and humble dude. She is entertaining, undeniably qualified to discuss vocal talent and she's got a super adorable personality.
This song made me Fall in LOVE! with Simon and Garfunkel .... but this version gives me goosebumps AND NEVER EVER gets old!
Excellent reaction best cover ever later girl.❤️😎🇺🇸
You gotta listen to the live version . It was a late night talk show I think Conan but that is phenomenal and haunting
Well as I scan the comments it looks like it's all been well said! I encourage you Miss Mental 😉 to listen to the original. I think you described this version perfectly and will also perfectly differ from the other. To those with low self worth; BREATHE! Breathe for you and breathe with a friend. Worry is a waste of time and you can't pray it back. Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
I am old enough to remember when the original from Simon and Garfunkel came out. But I only listened to and understood the message in the lyrics after hearing this version.
Few months ago, I got to see Disturbed in concert. My first ever concert, got to see Jinjer, Breaking Benjamin, and finally Disturbed.
It was mindblowing. They did this song, and it's unlike anything you've experienced before. I can't describe the energy, the intenseness, and this feeling of being together in this stadium, hearing this and other amazing songs. Truly an amazing experience, you have to go if you get the chance.
These lyrics from Simon and Garfunkel are spectacular. I like writing poetry, I've never been able to write an opening that grabs you immediately with that deep emotion, such as "Hello darkness my old friend".
I like Disturbed's version a lot. There is a great cover of this version by an opera singer called Henk Poort, if you want to listen (not necessarily react to it) you can search for Beste Zangers Henk Poort Sound of Silence. Beste Zangers (Best singers) is a singing show from the Netherlands. The people who were present there, said when Henk got to the low notes, the whole room vibrated with his intense voice.
The one commandment we are given is to love one another! I love those I will never know! And I truly mean that! And if it reaches only one person with that love then I have accomplished my mission that I was born to
Silence is often worse than saying the wrong thing! Such a brilliant turn of phrase, I'll remember that for a long time
Thank you Amanda ❤️❤️❤️❤️ We are Disturbed!!! 😁
The song The Light by Disturbed is a positive uplifting song. I'm mentally disabled and I listen to it everyday. DEFINITELY hear it. It's amazing how it pulls me up.
Great reaction as always Amanda. This blew me away the first time I hear/saw it as well. Hey if you want to "re-kindle" your reactions to Morissette I'd HIGHLY recommend reacting to her Original Music Video of her own song "Phoenix". It's super uplifting and right in your "wheelhouse". Incredibly inspirational and Mori is AMAZING as ALWAYS!!! ❤❤❤
Simon and Garden owl sang this song in the late 1960's. I was depressed and an alcoholic for many years, and hid it for years. On July 31, 1999 I stopped drinking and got help for the depression. I fight the depression still...as I still don't feel my wife of 24 years still doesn't understand me. Being an artist is very difficult, as I often feel like my wife doesn't even like me, nor my artwork!
Try Disturbed's song "Hold Onto Memories".... it's amazing!
I agree with the opinion that the Live version performed on the Conan O'Brien show is even more moving, worth revisiting by reaction to it as well.
It’s a beautiful rendition of the song. I enjoyed both at different times.
This is a wonderful example of how a piece of work can be interpreted in different ways depending by different people depending on their own life experience.
Nice reaction. Been there, being alone in a room full of people
David has always been a spectacular rock vocalist but now here after many years later his tones are better and his bass is richer ❤
This song and Jonnys cover on Hurt always make my eyes watering.... and I'm supposed to be a death/black metal fan 🙂 Nice to listen to what you said. There are so many ways for people to feel better. Prayer might be one if you have the belife. For me during a divorce and hard time Dark Funeral with the song My Funeral was my "feel good song" that gave me the power to survive. Analyze that hahaha
Wow! That was such a haunting version of that song. This is the first time this song really got into my head. Thank you for bringing this version to my attention. Depression is all I can think with this song. I am not a suicide survivor, but I was nearly a victim of suicide myself. Don't know what the right term is for this....."suicidal"? I am glad I let the darkness back out of my head and replaced it with light. Thank you, again, for your very helpful channel. I do view you as just a reactor, I see you as a voice of comfort. I'd love to learn about that tattoo (?) on your hand. Is there a special meaning? If so, from one with tattoos myself, I know some of them are too personal to me in their meaning, so you don't not need to share.
That means a lot to me. I really aim to bring substance and healing with my content and I'm happy that it's working! If you are talking about the yellow tattoo on the back of my right hand, it's the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda game series. It stands for power, wisdom and courage 💖
Thank you for sharing about your tattoo. I hope it was not weird me asking about it.@@MentalAmanda
@@markbronson7942 Not weird at all!
The high-energy performance of ttheir band is a force to be reckoned with. I'll leave you with a request. You have to react to October Ends' new song, it's mind-blowing!
This cover is absolutely brilliant.
Such a captivating and mesmerizing performance. I think you would really enjoy the live version. Same riveting performance, but the live is a tad more raw. Absolutely amazing take on the classic from Simon and Garfunkel from the early 60s. Many have covered this, but (my opinion) Disturbed and Pentatonix do the best (and very different) covers. Great reaction!
