Original Song:
• Disturbed - The Sound... - Розваги
When Paul Simon heard this version with Disturbed, he emailed David and said it was the best he had ever heard, and now the song belongs to Disturbed. What an honor coming from the original artist.
It is, just like when Johnny cash did a cover on hurt, the artest who first did it said "this is no longer my song, this is now Johnny cashes song now"
@@nokillplz8052 exactly 💯, I remember that!
I was so glad that Paul Simon let David know that it was the best he'd heard - Disturbed made this song so much more meaningful to everyone, especially those of us who were pre-teens and older when Simon and Garfunkel first released the song. In a few days my son turns 37 and the day after his birthday I turn 70. My son introduced me to this version by Disturbed in like 2018 (I believe it was) and it brings so much more meaning to the song than the original. My late husband who was 7 years older than me did not like the Disturbed version; however, I attribute that to my husband's declining health in 2018 (he passed in 2021 from a rare and aggressive sinus cancer that was first diagnosed in early 2020). I honestly believe that if my husband would have heard this version when it first came out that he might have enjoyed it and been able to see the deeper meaning in the way David sang this song.
@HotPeridot2 What a beautiful moment. I'm so sorry about your husband. Unfortunately, I was never aware of the Simon and Garfunkel version. But my mom was, when I showed her this version, she was amazed. She thought this was better than the original. BUT, she loved Simon and Garfunkel and said because the words that Paul wrote were so profound back then and still to this day, she loved both, but Disturbed made it hit the soul.
@@amydavies2529 Thank you. I always thought that the lyrics had a deeper meaning; however, Simon and Garfunkel's version was just so laid back and even with no grit in it. And, yes, the Disturbed version hits the soul - to the deepest depths of the soul.
Your reaction was very comprehensive. Thanks for reacting to this song. I just found this song in July 2023. I can't stop listening to this song. Awesome. I am 78 years old and I remember the first S&G song back in the mid-60s. This version by Disturbed was totally, totally for today!!!
When the writer and original singers say it’s better version than their own you know it’s good.
I always took this song as a lack of communication between people. People hearing but not comprehending what's being said. People so eager to put a opinion, but never open to understand one.
Back in the 1960s, I purchased the album, "Wednesday Morning, 3 a.m.," and instantlly became a Simon and Garfunkel fan. Then I went away to college and discovered that people considered the lyrics to "The Sound of Silence" to be so profound they included them in American Literature textbooks. Then, a couple of years ago, I discovered Disturbed's version. Simon and Garfunkel's version is a warning of what the future might be like. Disturbed's version is a primal scream, recognizing that the song's prophecy has come true.
The first time
John nailed it!
I can't add a word to that. 48 years old. Watched Disturbed in concert 2 times but first time I heard this I had to research singers background then it all made since. Just stunning
This is very insightful.
You HAVE to do his live version on Conan!!!!❤❤❤
Agree
Agreeeeeeee
it is not as good or powerful. Good live performance I'll give you that
Concur. It's better live.
Agree. It is FIRE 🔥🔥
Other bands need to bend the knee to the Disturbed throne with this song.
The greatest cover version ever.
It’s amazing to me, to hear something that has been so familiar, become something so much more!
Paul Simon was ecstatic when he heard this version and gave it to him..seriously passionate version ❤
The meaning of this song to me: Simon and Garfunkel gave us a warning of what was to come. If we continued to push religion out of our lives. Disturbed's version to me is an I told you so. The vast emptiness, dead trees, no animals around. Instruments buried under the rubble due to an "apocalyptic" type event because we ignored the teachings of our religions.
David Draimen is a trained Cantor and as you heard is amazing. Most people will tell you to do Down with the Sickness next. Which is a great song to hear his ability and to welcome you to the phase oh wahaaahahh.
I'll suggest his Phil Collins remake of Land of Confusion or 10,000 Fists. Disturbed is an amazing band and their concerts are pure energy. Great reaction.
I loved the original, but this version takes the song to a new level and force! Beautiful!!!
Sometimes a cover is better than the original. This is one. Thank you.
The video explains silence - with musicians on one side, and songwriters on the other...and the boat crossing bringing the two together. Good reaction.
For me the S&G version was a warning, and this version is the "You damned fools...you didn't listen."
This one for me brings the angst that the words convey.
Been a metalhead since Sabbath and never heard of Disturbed then my nephew one day showed me this video that his teacher played to the class. I've always been a Simon and Garfunkel fan so I knew the song but holy snappin door nails it blew me away! So it lead to me discovering Disturbed and I couldn't be happier
It shook me the first time I heard it, his voice is amazing, I usually listen to it every day, I still get chills!
How fitting is it that David's incredible performance makes you want to go back to read the lyrics. We discover Paul Simon wrote a prophecy hidden in a happy little song by he and Art. David is screaming "wake the f up and see what's happening!" I am saddened that the neon sign is a capital letter "S" with two vertical lines severing it. This performance is amazing, but also watch (whether you review it or not) the live Conan O'Brien show performance, where David was sick as a dog, and hear one of the greatest recorded performances ever shown on television. You might want to record it, just in case you wish to release it.
I have seen Disturbed sing this song live and WOW!!! it was EPIC!!!
He is one of the best vocalist of all time I love this performance Wild bill
The ship with the instruments 🎸🎺🎷🎤were heading to shore where all the people waiting were holding sheet music🎶🎵🎶🎵
Disturbed is one of my favorite metal bands, their music and their way to describe a meaning of their song is unique. Not to disrespect the MASTERPIECE of SOUND OF SILENCE, cause that song is a MASTERPIECE but in disturbed cover as of feeling I have the same feeling of their own song overburdened
SILENCE LIKE A CANCER GROWS
David (lead singer) is a classically trained singer. He was a professional cantor as well. I love listening to Disturbed... one of my fav. metal bands
Disturbed and Jinjer will be touring together this summer. This should be a great concert.
oh snap!! that will be epic indeed
Simon and Garfunkel enjoyed this cover too…
Paul Simon wrote that at 21 years old. I wasn't thinking about the world in those terms when I was 21...special talent!
Disturbed : Down with the Sickness . David Draiman is one of the most underated vocalists ever ! 🤘🔥🔥🔥🇿🇦🤘give the sickness a listen to get this band . Love your channel ❤
You will want to listen to A Reason to Fight, Hold Onto Memories, The Light. Inside the Fire...oh heck, all of them! All of their music has a very deep message!
I just came across this video. I am from the era of Simon/Garfunkel, etc. While I love the original- I am surprised by recent covers. Some are very good. This made me buy the CD it is on. Dang! For her Tea Time Interview w/ David Draiman, @The Charismatic Voice, as typical used several questions from her viewers. Mine was the 1st and I asked, "Why this song?" He replied that the drummer is a big S&G fan and kept suggesting doing a cover of a song. Draiman was not interested, but was out voted. Seems he came around to it. Glad he did- it's a masterpiece! Cheers, Rosalie!
David Draiman is one of my favorite rock singers! I love his operatic voice with a mix of grit that gives me chills no matter what he’s singing! I’ve been listening to Disturbed for 23 years now and I’m going to see them live in March in Phoenix and I can’t wait!
Paul Simon has heard Disturbed’s cover of his Simon & Garfunkel classic “The Sound of Silence” - and he enjoyed it enough to reach out to singer David Draiman and tell him so. Draiman shared word of his interaction with Simon after the band delivered a performance of “The Sound of Silence” during its March 28 appearance on Conan. Simon saw the show and sent Draiman an email shortly after, saying, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I’d seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks."
Disturbed Bass Player John Moyer is from my hometown of El Paso Texas, in 2017 John went to Monterrey Mexico to teach a Class for people who wanted to play the Bass Guitar and John asked The Warning to be his Back Up Band and After the Class John and The Warning Jammed they Played Enter Sandman and in the middle of the song he was still Teaching he would Stop playing and would tell Dany don't play that part like that but like this then they would start again and he would stop and tell Pau play that Part like this and he did the same with Ale, there is a video of this oh UA-cam. In November of 2021 The Warning played in a Festival in Dayton Beach FL, and Disturbed also played there and The Warning met up with John Moyer back Stage and took a picture with John and Disturbed singer David Draiman and the producer of their Error Album David Bendeth.
I see this as a metaphor of music representing communication and the problem of division seen today. Written music not being able to express itself with lyrics show's man's inability to bring humanity together. Amazing music.
His vocal crispness and power speaks to his training. This is a glorious interpretation.
many thanks to Simon & Garfunkel for writing & recording this classic warning to an increasingly isolated, non-responsive society....remember, that was 50 + years ago ! ....they made it possible for Disturbed, Pentatonix and others to reinterpret this for an even "colder" society.....
People hearing without listening, this song is an example of that. I've heard the original many times but never really listened to what it was saying ... until now.
I have heard David and his band Disturbed perform this cover probably a hundred times or more. It reaches into and grabs my very soul. I'm 65 and grew up with the original version by Simond and Garfunkel. It was good then. This version for me, talks to my higher self. Telling me to never stay forever in the minds silence lest I miss the connection, and the opportunities that will become buried like the instruments. Connections lost like the music writers from the musicians. I love this version and David's voice and his skill to present it will go down in history.
S&G's version was a warning, but Disturbed's version is a battle cry.
i love your reaction, made me giggle cos i watched it with my mouth open just like you did the first time i watched it LOL. Just amazing, David's voice is soooo good, i have listened to this atleast 100 times afterwards.... cant help myself LOL
As a child, I had no idea what the lyrics were about. Now, when I hear "people taking without speaking," I see texting. Words with no tone or feeling. I'm definitely not a metal fan, but this man's voice blew me away!
👌👍such a treat... And David transformed S&Gs warning into the anger resulting from not heeding that warning...
Not only can he sing, he's also well read and has a razor sharp mind, him being interviewed by Elizabeth of TCV was beyond interesting...
This song gives me chills EVERY TIME! Good pick-up reaction. David Draiman's voice is in one word, like you said, "epic". This song was a little bit of a redirection from his normal heavy metal style, but he owned it. Now it's his. Mostly anyway.
The Meaning of Life is my fav Disturbed song. Dropping Plates is a banger, too
Rosalie Reacts
I grew up loving Simon and Garfunkel. I always mainly get hooked by the rythm and the melody of music. My brain doesn't register the words. Listening to the Disturbed version, I heard the words for the very first time.
go watch pudles the clown when he sings this song! that version will really let you hear the words !
This was my experience as well.
You just explained me on anything but country music. I got so into the music the meaning almost always missed me...not now but for a good 35 years sadly to retrain myself
My reaction is similar. I mean, I knew the words (love to sing along to S&G) but this version brings such impact to every single word and it floats right down into your brain and soul.
the neon god in the 60,s was the tv in the corner which stopped conversation, playing games together,singing and playing instruments in the home
People are commenting on the live Conan version but trust me when I say, I've seen Disturbed perform this live at one of their concerts and the atmosphere is electrifying. I'll never forget it.
I’m old enough to remember hearing this song when it was first released by S & G. Back then I was a musician and a hippie type, and I thought I knew what the song was about, but hearing and seeing it performed by this band really brings the full meaning and significance of this song together. I became a Christian at 29 and stopped listening to secular music for decades. I became a worship leader 35 years ago and just started to listen to other music in the last few years, more from nostalgia than anything. I love this version because it is encapsulates the present world we find ourselves in. I guess S & G we’re real prophets and didn’t even know it. 🙏😎
Same here, bro. At a few days before 71, I have long found that songs should be gauged upon themselves, not the singer's agenda or lifestyle. Also, who you're singing it to completely changes meanings and emotions.
@@llc3guys …..I’ll be 71 in an other month.. Growing up in the 1960’s and 70’s….I really thought we had conquered race relations and were trying to build a better world. Everybody, at least in my part of the world….really did get along. Then in this century it has all fallen apart again. People are so disconnected and intolerant. There is no dialogue, no attempt at compromise or negotiation. Like the song says……hearing with listening…….and certainly…..speaking without saying anything, there is lots of that going on.🙃
Massive congrats for not killing the song and giving your reaction after,I will and have subscribed 👍
I can tell that was an authentic 1st reaction. Thank you! Can’t stand the 2nd time fakers. Great reaction !!!!
The live version on Conan is amazing
Your face at the end says it all rosalie
Great reaction. Although I actually prefer this video, you really should look at their live performance of this cover on Conan. As impressive as this is, seeing it live is worth it.
I heard this soon after it came out and, to this day, I'm still drawn to it. It continues to touch the center of the heart of my spirit. There has always been much to glean within the lyrics, but what Draiman has done is put every line, of every verse, into an audible bold print and underlined from beginning to end. The original video version also adds another level of understanding and depth. I have yet to hear anyone mention that he sang it in four distinct styles. He starts in casual style, like when we sing to ourselves. Then he goes to a Pop style. Then to a Rock style. Lastly, to a Metal style he's more known for. A very rare song. A very rare rendition. A very rare treasure.
David has a generational voice.
This is in my top 3 covers of all time, along with The Weeknd’s cover of Dirty Diana and Bad Wolves cover of Zombie. I would love to see your reaction to both 🩷
Damn now I have to go watch your Jinjer reaction. They’re my favorite band. Up there with Tool for me.
You forgot Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt."
@@zacharyalvernaz7916 Shit. Yes. There are four in my top three because I don’t know who to remove. I’m ashamed I didn’t mention that one.
I'd add the Talking Heads cover of Take Me To The River, and Jimi Hendrix' cover of All Along the Watchtower.
You are very nice to listen to...
I could listen to you all day
I'm from Texas. I saw Disturbed in Fort Worth last Oct. They are my fave band. David is my hre!!
This version is a experience and David is iconic.
I was born in 1970 and for whatever reason, I didn't know this song. Although I've learned after hearing the Disturbed version and sharing it, my mother told me she grew up with this song and how much she liked it, so I looked into it more. I think the only version I saw was a live performance by S & G.. The video here adds a lot of context and as a jack of all trades when it comes to music, science, physics, psychology... I see the beauty of this song. Glad they brought it back, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have experienced "it"
There is a live performance video too. Incredible.
just awesome, thanks for the reaction
I love the scene when the guy reaches up to get the timpani from the tree. Did anyone notice that the bare tree looks a lot like a basic view of the blood vessels in the head-brain and it comes just after he sings it was planted in his brain. So many tiny little scenes within the video seem to fit what was sung, like when the girl is writing the music notes and is on the upstroke as David's voice goes up and the drops down as she draws from top to bottom of the next note. All perfectly timed as if the image is a visual representation of his voice going up then down.
This was freaking epic as you said, but just for your eyes, ears, and soul try the live version live for conan. It's a must for you after loving this one.
Agreed. This one is more technically beautiful, especially knowing that he was sick the night he sang on Conan. But, the live version is absolutely VIBRANT and a must-listen!
Worked there show a few times as a stagehand in early 2000's
The live version on the Conan show (David Draiman was not well on the night) is even more epic!!!!! ua-cam.com/video/Bk7RVw3I8eg/v-deo.html Super reaction Rosalie as always!!! ☮❤Sea Point, Cape Town
Great lyrics. Disturbed really amplified them more
I love both versions.I definitetly think that this song applies to modern times. We need peace and music can help usher that peace in.
The original version makes you think, Disturbed version puts the feelings into the song, it makes you feel.
Signs to my Cptsd…seeds planted in my Brain..Still rename…touches my Soul ❤️🩹
The song is a classic because it's musically and lyrically well written and covers an eternal problem with humanity
The original, this version and Henk Poort's rendition of this song form a tryptich of the same song / message for me.
Simon & Garfunkel's is melancholy and saddened by our inability to communicate.
Disturbed's version is like taking you by the shoulders and trying to break through to you. (The video adds a more optimistic note at the end)
Henk's version is a bit in between but adds the gravitas of age to his performance, a "Please don't repeat our failures" to the kids.
Watching these guys live in Salt Lake city live is just as good as the studio 🎙version u can't see much of a difference
You made some of the best comments I've heard given after a first viewing on this video, and I've been binge watching for the last two days and have now heard scores and scores of responses and analyses. Thank you!
Now listen to the live version from Conan show and after listen to their metal song down with the sickness studio version he has an incredible range
I appreciate you reached for a pause several times, yet couldn't commit because you were too caught up in the experience. I wish more people would view, and save comments till after the reaction. Thanks!
Hello from Italy and Belgium Disturbed is just 🤘💕. Greetings 2 y'all. 🇮🇹🇧🇪
Although the meaning was something different as told by S&G.
Back in the late 60's and early 70's, due to "Budget" crunches, lots of school were talking about getting rid of school music programs. I always thought this song was prophetic telling of those times. And what could happen to our society if the arts were dropped from the curriculum.
Much love ma'am. 💯 agree.
Hi Rosalie, after I saw you react to Hi Ren is subscribed. Your authenticity and compassion was so heartwarming for me to see. I don't know you but I wish more people allowed themselves to be vulnerable and real. Thank you young lady,you're a breath of fresh air.
thank you very much for watching and for your kind comment. this means a lot.
❤
A friend called me one night when I was college. He gotten this album and we listened to it over and over all night. Prolly half a dozen guys were entranced, enthralled. This is a rebirth!!
I visit this song Daily
Down with the Sickness is arguably their most famous song. “Oh, wah, ah, ah” (will make sense when you hear the song). Enjoyed your reaction and analysis! 👍😎
the live version from the show Connan Obrien is the same song but somehow way more epic you should really give it a reaction .. good reaction btw
So many good insights into this song. You’re always thought provoking Rosalie. Thank you!
The live version from Conan is even more epic
Awesome reaction, thank you for always sharing so much.
Awesome. I recommend you do Nelly Furtado "Say It Right" - It's closing in on 1 Billion views, and deserves every one of them.
7:22 full body gooseflesh starting here 💯
Edit: 8:00 feel it in my head and legs the most here
Epic is right !!! 🤘😲
"His voice is epic"
Heh. Girl, he hasn't even started singing yet! 😊
Even Simon & Garfunkel said this was better than the original. Spine tingling for sure. It's so good it makes me laugh. Thanks for your great reaction!
California, man, have you got some energy, I love your voice and might buy the table for drawing and painting. Thanks.
Others recommend the live version and yes it’s even better again.
This is epic for sure 🔥💯🔥
Hi Rosalie, When I listened to Simon and Garfunkle back when I was younger, I only thought of it as a cool relaxing song.
Disturbs version, I listened to the lyrics while it played and was astonished I never heard them before. S+G version I went with the song flow never thinking or hearing the lyrics.
Man, the darkness planted a seed and the planted seed gave a vision to come. I relate the rest to back in the 60"s Neon signs were used a lot. Signs directing you talking to you without speaking, we see them like listening without hearing. But also not just that, as mankind made these inventions like gods to worship they fell from the truth, the true God. Music will be silenced because of the Prophets, lots of prophetic songs come from Psalms. So instead of isolating or discriminating one type, because the truth can bleed into other types of music they silence them all. So the truth does not spread. So they were written on subway walls and tenement halls, all within the sound of silence. Like Do Not Let Anyone Know. Like graffiti.
That's my take on it. Bye thank you for the reaction.
Hello from the Rock. Newfoundland. Love the original and love this version as well. Powerful voice and powerful lyrics. You can't beat that combination. Yes epic is a great way to call this performance.
David the vocalist is a trained Jewish Canter. His vocal range and styling is insane!
Thank You.
A common consensus is that the original version was a warning. This version is an accusation because the warning went unheeded.
Pentatonix has a great rendition of this also!
Great job. Not just a reaction but an indepth, well thought out analysis. Just subscribed.
