    Help me I’m addicted to watching reactions to this song. I’ve probably watched 100 reactions and the great part is I haven’t heard one person who disliked it but even better every couple videos someone points out something I missed.

    I grew up listening to Simon & Garfunkel sing this song. I loved the words, but never liked the song. I felt that the words were powerful, but they were delivered to us in a very passive way. It felt very wrong to me. This was an angry song, why were they so gentle about it?!?! When I found this cover about 6 months ago, I fell in love with the song in its entirety. David gave this song exactly what it needed...RAGE! "Damnit people, you didn't listen to S&G when they warned you. Now I'm pissed and I'm going to MAKE you listen."

      Exactly!!!! I never really liked the S&G version but this version makes you listen to the words! It was so moving that I listened to the song for days, and started listening to their other songs. I never realized how great a songwriter Paul Simon is until now. To write a song decade's ago that still rings true today is amazing! I can't really fault the way S&G sang it back then because they were hippies and were into peace symbols and flower children. David's rendition is perfect for today and it's amazing how many generations of people are enjoying it! 20 to 90 year olds. He has an incredible voice and I wish he would do more ballads (for lack of a better word).

    An anthem for today's world. Listen to it using the filter of these interpretations: Darkness = Oppression. Silence = Apathy. Music = Action for Justice. Seeds = Ideas for change. Neon = artificial. Subway walls = The worker class. Tenement Halls = The poor. Disturbed's interpretation is absolutely the perfect arrangement to feature the message of the song. And silence is deafening to the ears. After Katrina, parts of New Orleans were so silent that it actually hurt a person's ears. No dogs, no air conditioner white noise, no running cars, no tv or radio blaring, no music, no noise at all. A very physically painful experience.

    If you enjoyed the studio version, I would very much like to hear your reaction to their live performance on Conan. Despite being ill that day, David Draiman delivered a performance for the ages, complete with an orchestra. Paul Simon reached out to the group after the performance to congratulate them as he posted it on his social media, calling it the best cover of any of his songs ever. Conan celebrated the performance last year as it became the first video from his show to hit 100 million views.
    Keep up the great work!

    David Draiman...a voice to die for! A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime. He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before.....just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent and obvious training to deliver what he does!! Can sing like an angel or the devil ! Loved your reaction and your take on David's performance. Try "Deceiver", "The Night", "Indestructible", "The Light", "Violence Fetish" and "Enough" by Disturbed too. They are a bit "heavier" Glasses Kingdom, lolol...but maybe you will like them too. If you want more ballads for Disturbed....let us know!

    An old man once told me a story of his father. His father was a German pilot in WWI. He had been struck in the engine earlier in the day on the 24th of December 1914. He never made it across the lines, and planted his "Crate" in no-man's land. By the time he had his wits about him and was ready to make a run for it, the guns on the front fell silent. Deafening silence. Finally pierced by a single man in song.

    When I first heard Simon and Garfunkel’s version, I was still in high school and the song made us feel like it was a warning about previous generations, we vowed not to be like that, we knew we wouldn’t be the same and that things would change. Here it is now and we’re the previous generation, nothing has changed and David Draiman is using the words of what was an anthem to scold us angrily and to warn us again. I doubt we’ll listen this time either.

Paul Simon is a lyrical genius and Disturbed updating to a new time and meaning, is also genius. It's spiritually assaulting and emotionally tearing music! Well done!

    When he recorded the tracks he wasn't even scheduled to sing that day but got asked to lay his vocals. When he heard it all mixed he couldn't even look at his band members or anyone as he was tearing up and didnt want his friends to see him that emotional. Says something if a singer that good could make himself cry listening to his song.

Without each other you have silence. Such a powerful song and David is such a powerful singer. Classically trained, beautiful voice. Listen to some of his metal too, like Down with the Sickness, different side of David and his group (the guy with the guitar and the guy with the big drum) but just as wonderful as they are in this song.

    First: could you please wrap up that accent and send it to me so I can soak in the warm and fuzzies on cold winter nights??
    I watched some comedy of some sort so very long ago and in one scene meant to mock pretentiousness the guy said "Jazz! Oh yeah jazz is great, man! You know, with jazz - it's the notes you don't hear. Yeah." Obviously I never forgot it, it still tickles me so much and it always will. That being said, though, you just gave that line unearned meaning when you said music is sound and silence.
    Also I was just watching 3 'dudes' (early 20's/don't get out much, maybe) react to this song and their immediate opinion was that it must be about deafness. Unfortunately it was still their conclusion at the end of the video. I left a comment that it is not about deafness (and that the boat at the end was not Noah's arc!??) because if you think about it, a deaf person (from birth) would not know what silence is in our experience. They know the dictionary meaning of silence being without any sound. But for the hearing, silence can mean so much more than just the absence of sound. Surprisingly: no response!

    You loved this so much, but I checked and couldn't find you checking any other songs. That's a shame, they're fabulous. If you just can't handle heavy metal, listen to The Light or A Reason To Fight. I'm a 70 y o grandma and I love all of their music, heavy metal included. The band is composed of marvelous musicians, the perfect blend with David's beautiful voice. Listen to the words of their songs, which can actually be heard and understand. As you can tell, I am a huge fan. The band has helped so many people struggling with addiction and depression. They care. Beautiful human beings, fabulous musicians. As someone who has struggled with deep depression, I can say they recently saved me.

    The True meaning...Back in the 60's...was a time of War, Discrimination, Racism, blatant fundamental Civil Rights worthlessness far worse in ways than today. One could NOT speak out without major consequences (like being threatened of your life for speaking out.) Comedians could get away with it in sarcasm, and through music, the "messages" could not be stopped...In that time communication was very bleak with only fuzzy radio, and fuzzy tv, and newspapers...that's it...So when musicians (Bands) became very popular/famous and millions would hear...They became powerful and a serious threat as influential to the masses to change, in demanding equality, freedom, revealing hypocritical religions (neon God they made) etc...The population always knew music's truth...but remained silent out of fear, of retaliation, disfranchisement, so no one dared (other than fans stereotyped as hippies and Blacks that did protest and riot against the establishment for change)...Musicians (bands) were always broken up due to their claimed mass influence, through suspected mysterious ways, from death of a featured performer, in plane crashes, overdoses etc..by breaking them up in ways equal to that of "looking like an accident"...The biggest protest amongst humanity, (in that time mind you) was the technology of people talking without speaking, and hearing without listening (the seeds planted as you slept...but one's eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night)...(and your life)... removing the true sounds of silence, considered loss of free will...People were sent to nut farms and literally destroyed for voicing aloud of such truths...Although it does fit differently today with texting...The writing on subway walls was like tenement halls in that time, it was very much like bumper stickers, or hallmark sayings...with lots of WISDOM and common sense that came from the poor and oppressed and was their ONLY way to speak out truths in protest...In spite, to stop the messages of truth in war through music...it will always survive to carry its messages that remain and echo in the wells of silence...That still echo like this song from the 60"s is echoing from those age old wells of silence...The official version best represents it from its time...

    In all fairness the song was written and originally performed by Simon & Garfunkel in the 60s. I grew up with them but OMG does David kill it here. He is an incredible vocalist who wanted to give the song it's proper justice and I believe Paul Simon said he certainly did.

    I always found that the 'sound of silence' at night is deafening. I was thinking of how Paul Simon (writer of song) was basically silenced by record company by not being able to sing it as he wanted. And this means that all record companies have the power to silence artists by not listening to their songs and promoting them. Just a thought.

    Paul Simon heard David draimen sing sound of silence. It brought tears to his eyes and he said David was meant to sing that song. If you look up sound of silence in Wikipedia you'll see Paul Simons explanation of the opening line. Anton Chekhov says the role of the artist is to ask questions not to answer them. So regardless of What Paul says is the meaning of the opening line The true meaning is that which is true to the listener.
    David was raised as an orthodox Jew and went to school to become a cantor. A canta sings back everything the rabbi has just red from the torah. Cantors have very deep Melodic voices and can sustain low notes for a period of time. Their cover of Strong's If I ever lose my faith in you Is really good
