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.
I love what you wrote. I would not be able to come up with something so Well thought out Descriptive and intelligent. I just think it's beautiful what you wrote
David Draiman is musically trained. In an interview he explained that he went into a booth and recorded the lyrics for this video for 3 hours, doing different things with it. Then this masterpiece was created. Is a thing of beauty.
Great reaction! 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!
@@robinjohnson9163 it’s already done ✔️ as soon as I was told there was a live version I couldn’t wait so the following day I did just that so it’s waiting for you l😆 thank you for subscribing
I love that the writers acknowledged and understood the power and how the song conveyed what they wanted to convey decades ago. I love that time moves forward and allows the artists to say 'what the fuck why not' and just DO IT. can't love this enough and you go play that axe babe! Hey at least say hi lol
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!
You get a like even though your a Texans fan. Titan up! 😀🍻 Edit: another amazing cover by them that sounds more like their normal sound is land of confusion.
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.
I just love this version of the song. It adds gravitas to message. David has such a powerful voice. Love your appreciation of it as well. Still here for the reggae though.😘
Paul Simon wanted to meet David and when he did, he said to him: "This is your song now." Don't miss the live performance on the Conan show. It's nice to see the orchestra. And no, no auto tune was used even though David had a terrible cold that night.
You won my heart when you said: 'I was just about to sing, but then I remembered that I can't sing .' 😂👌me too, man.. me too! And you playing the guitar at the end was so nice! This is my favorite reaction so far!
LMAO...The eyes widen, just seconds into the song, then the smiles creeps across the lips a few seconds later, hooked...20 secs into song....it a powerful song, extremely well done.
Great review. The lyrics, written by Paul Simon, during the 1960"s assassination era. Were coloring the pain our Nation felt. Black, White, and head bowed Silence. 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!
Listen to the words... God is sending to ALL of us a very Powerful Warning... Fools..SAY I ....You do not know...Hear my words that I may teach you,,,Take my arms that I may reach you,,,And Gods Anger..And the People bowed & Prayed..To The Neon Gods THEY MADE...................BEAUTIFUL SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Must say that getting the reaction to this song from a producer/musician was the best I’ve seen here…you gave insight on the visuals I’d never thought of…thank you for doing this…this song’s message is much more needed today than before…god bless.
Great reaction. To me Simon and Garfunkel the original writers and performers were telling us back in the 60’s when I first heard the song to get our shit together or the future won’t be pretty and this version is saying oh well the shit has now hit the fan!!!!! Just saying.
Hi, new subscriber - I'd love for you to react to 'Singularity' by V of BTS - it's really beautiful, with a strong R&B feel; also, 'Black Swan' or 'Blood Sweat & Tears' by BTS is gorgeous.
Disturbed has amazing vocals and musical talent. Try listening to Down With the Sickness, The Light, A Reason to Fight, Through the Fire, and Hold on to Memories. They also perform an amazing version of Sting's If I Ever Lose my Faith in You.
Yes def the loudest silence is that of partners both being silent the silence speaks volumes....this is a dark version of this song yet it feels calming and the dark clouds feel like serenity to me...I really really loved this version of the song and if u chose it or it was recommended or requested it was indeed a great choice for a reaction especially for someone like u...I’m certain the clouds told a story to you 💯💯...thank u for this 🙌
Best vocals ever! Love David. This interpretation of this classic is perfection! I still get chills and goosebumps and I’ve heard this version 100+ times! Check out his live version on Conan and know he was very sick at the time of this performance.
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.
I like the Conan rendition as well, but the video on this one gets me every time. Notice the end of the video. Music sheets on one side and the boat full of instruments going to join them. 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.
The singer actually belted that out in one day and was high on marijuana and didn't know he wasn't doing lyrics that day.....that's real emotion...I'm sure they thought about the video...but the lyrics were recorded in 2 or 3 takes.....at least David Draimon said so himself
I never get tired of watching this song or reactions to it. Every single time the final verse starts, all the muscles in my core and jaw clench. My heart hurts when the drums boom. Honestly I would have the same (literally) visceral feelings just watching it all, but especially David's face, with the sound turned completely off. Very nice reaction/interpretation. Check out Wooden Ships by Crosby Stills and Nash. OMG David would crush that into the ground too!
Random request my man.... please react to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly by Danish Symphony Orchestra... it will be amazing to see your reaction about it, tnx and more power to your channel!!
To add to other comments you may learn more about the meaning of this song by listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s version of this song (as Simon wrote it) and then listen again to this. As many have said the original was a warning. This version shows the result of ignoring that warning. Little did Simon know how prophetic his song would become in today’s world of technology.
...I will be 62 in Aug. I have been listening to this song since my early teens...until Disturbed cover...I had Never really Heard the Words...It was never as PROPHETIC as it is Now...I could loop this All Day
I love Reggae maybe you should add this to your playlist. “Leave The Door Open” (Cover) by Kuerdas band. original singer: Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak.
An original by Disturbed that is a beautiful song what gives you hope is "Hold on to Memories. I prefer the official live video, but both are great and something they do at every concert and their fans love it. David is ranked in the top 100 vocalist of all time.
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!
lol 😂 you are funny, I will send some right now as it is snowing so bad where I live , but I escaped it because I had to go burry my dad in Jamaica, it’s pretty warm here , so I’m also sending sunshine ☀️
Thanks for your reaction. You made me laugh quite a lot just by your reactions and your stares. Loved your guitar bit at the end of the song. Great video.
S&G did a good job on the lyrics, but Dosturbed to the level oh Holy Crap!!! David's voice makes it perfect! It starts calm and gets angrier and angrier, the way it should have been done back in 64...KUDOS TO DISTURBED FOR MAKING A PERFECT COVER OF THIS SONG!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Watch the original, the power is there , if I don’t interrupt UA-cam consider it reposting someone’s content, it’s against the guidelines, so if you want no interruptions you know where to find the original
I have also been blown away by this version of Sound of Silence. I've loved the song since Simon and Garfunkel introduced to their music! David D. has elevated this song to an epic experience. Both physical and spiritual. Thank you for validation with your expertise!
I'm right there too. I love watching 1st reactions of Disturbed's Sound of Silence. It's so interesting. Of course all have loved it because they're fantastic!!
In 1954. in the summer. The city had a polio epidemic. It was a summer of silence. Deafening silence. Yes, I was 6 years of age. We were a young neighborhood with 6 schools in walking distance. No childhood play, no childhood sounds. This takes me back to that summer.
Song from my teen years love love love this version!!!!!!!! Hey listen to Marshall Tucker Band. "Cant You See" Its awesome ,I guarentee you'll like it. And I love your hat.
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...
Aside from the AWESOME vocals, that tiny bit of acoustic guitars riffs just makes the song, for me anyway. The whole arrangement is fantastic, but that tiny guitars sweeps just put the frosting on the cake!
What's this? Like the fifth track off that album that's been covered and received major awards? Simon was a fluff but the writing skills are undeniable.
Cuando algo te toca y araña el alma y la hace más humana, estoy ante algo increible, magnífico, inigualable, su. VOZ prodigiosa arranca desde lo más profundo de los sentimientos y llega nos transforma. Deberia escucharse en todo el mundo, seguro que muchossss los traspasara. Voz impresionante, divina, inigualable, y esta orquesta magistral. ES VERDAD, es una divinidad.
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.
This song was famous 50 years ago, by Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon wrote it. I believe David Draiman and Disturbed wanted to respect the original song as well as put their own spin on it. The writer approved of this version.
Listen to the live version. Even more beautiful. I agree it should have received many awards. People are still talking about it. Many people are moved by it even today
Your review was very detailed and had more interesting aspects, some of which I thought of myself and others didn't. You made a lot of good points. Your "intro and outro" words made me think of how I speak when I talk to others. Thank you for doing this reaction video. I am 78 and I thought it was a super video and have watched it probably 50 times by now.

Although the original by Simon and Garfunkel maybe not have been revered as is should have been, David Michael Draiman could not have done this song any more justice.
I watch for this every time I watch a new-to-me reaction - about 1 or 2 bars in, the reactors eyes open wide. No one expects this from a metal singer. It's just wonderful.
I love love love your reaction this song took my breath away first time I heard it I couldn't quit playing it it just does something to you I apologize for no punctuation just throw some in where you think they need to be LOL you were actually very complimentary of the song and of the singer. I listen to these reaction people and they want a critique and down size you're a beautiful person for the comments you made. And I agree, why hadn't I heard this sooner. Have a blessed night.
I watched this reaction strictly because I love when I get the reaction you just gave. For that reason. I'm now a follower. Fantastic and on the money reaction 👌 thank you 😊
What I love most is the way the song just keeps building and building never giving you a chance to catch breath. Touches the soul with the anger it needs.
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
A heavy metal band that catches EVERYONE by surprise, then elevates and conquers a song (this song) 50+ years after it was written!! Anyone who hasn't been blown away by this isn't really listening!! No matter what music you like (All Genres) this is superbly done and flawless in every way!! The best cover/song/official video these past 5+ years. \m/ Sorry for being long winded the below list are "live" performances that any person doing reactions must hear/see!! Yes, many of you may have heard a lot of these songs however they are 100% worth another look. * note: these are but a few of many great performances caught "live" on tape (they're all great) - an ECLECTIC mix of songs!!

You Have to ck out rage against the machines song killing in the name of. It was written during the Rodney King riots. It will blow your mind if you read the lyrics.
Everybody's reaction to this is phenomenal yours was just so so you're too fixated on yourself to listen you stop stopped and stopped so for that I'm giving you a thumbs down and for Disturbed I'm giving a thousand thumbs up
First time watching one of your videos and I must say I loved it! I thoroughly enjoyed to your interpretation and breakdown. It is always refreshing to hear someone who really gets the importance of music.
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.
its really great and is worth the addiction
Me too....can't get enough of this version!
Feel your pain my friend, feel your pain! 😂
I know exactly how you feel! I cannot get enough!!
I think I passed 100 a long time ago! I also feel your pain. I love it.
You nailed it - he is interpreting the lyrics with the anger they deserve. Great reaction.
And the desperation he's feeling that very few have changed and taken notice
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 agree 100 percent
Same goes
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).
Exactly my feelings.
Spot on! You don't hear this...you feel it. It touches your soul. His voice...the words...it penetrates you.
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.
I love what you wrote. I would not be able to come up with something so Well thought out Descriptive and intelligent. I just think it's beautiful what you wrote
You hit the nail on the head. Your comment is as moving as the song.
Amen
BEAUTIFUL!!
David Draiman is musically trained. In an interview he explained that he went into a booth and recorded the lyrics for this video for 3 hours, doing different things with it. Then this masterpiece was created. Is a thing of beauty.
Yes he is a classically trained cantor light and dark
Amazing
Saw this someplace else on YT.
God: "Do you want to sound like an angel or a demon when you sing?"
David: "Yes please"
Great reaction!
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!
Your request will be granted shortly, thank you for participating
@@GlassesKingdom Can not wait to see your reaction...the live one is EPIC, I subscribed to see it soon...
@@robinjohnson9163 it’s already done ✔️ as soon as I was told there was a live version I couldn’t wait so the following day I did just that so it’s waiting for you l😆 thank you for subscribing
I love that the writers acknowledged and understood the power and how the song conveyed what they wanted to convey decades ago. I love that time moves forward and allows the artists to say 'what the fuck why not' and just DO IT. can't love this enough and you go play that axe babe! Hey at least say hi lol
They got a Grammy for this performance.
They got a Grammy nomination.
Thanks for this reaction. Every time I am in UA-cam, I never fail to look for more reactions to this wonderful song. Thank You, my friend!!
My pleasure always
So do I ❤
This song never gets old. The live version from the Conan show with a small orchestra as accompaniment is epic too - well worth checking out.
Best version I've seen on conan. The Myles Kennedy one Is good too. But diff
@@DanielRobertKane To me the Miles version puts it right back to S & G's version. The harmonizing takes away much of the passion of the song!
And considering he was quite ill at the time makes it even more impressive.
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!
Greatest cover Ever!
Its a toss up for me between this cover and Floor Jansens “Oblivion”
You get a like even though your a Texans fan. Titan up! 😀🍻
Edit: another amazing cover by them that sounds more like their normal sound is land of confusion.
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.
Disturbed's Hold On To Memories is a really good one also.
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.
David’s is to show the consequences of not listening to the original warning.
I just love this version of the song. It adds gravitas to message. David has such a powerful voice. Love your appreciation of it as well. Still here for the reggae though.😘
lol , ok i will give you lots of reggae
Paul Simon wanted to meet David and when he did, he said to him: "This is your song now."
Don't miss the live performance on the Conan show. It's nice to see the orchestra. And no, no auto tune was used even though David had a terrible cold that night.
You won my heart when you said: 'I was just about to sing, but then I remembered that I can't sing .' 😂👌me too, man.. me too!
And you playing the guitar at the end was so nice!
This is my favorite reaction so far!
oh my! ive watched so many reactions of others and you are the only one so far that understood the silence in the begining
I’ve seen many reactions to this beautiful cover, yours is really extraordinary and brilliant 👏👏
Wow, thank you! I'm thrilled to hear that
I loved your passion and interpretation sir! Draiman is an awesome, classically trained vocalist. "...And the people bowed and prayed"... 🙏✌
LMAO...The eyes widen, just seconds into the song, then the smiles creeps across the lips a few seconds later, hooked...20 secs into song....it a powerful song, extremely well done.
Great review. The lyrics, written by Paul Simon, during the 1960"s assassination era. Were coloring the pain our Nation felt. Black, White, and head bowed Silence. 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!
Listen to the words... God is sending to ALL of us a very Powerful Warning... Fools..SAY I ....You do not know...Hear my words that I may teach you,,,Take my arms that I may reach you,,,And Gods Anger..And the People bowed & Prayed..To The Neon Gods THEY MADE...................BEAUTIFUL SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Must say that getting the reaction to this song from a producer/musician was the best I’ve seen here…you gave insight on the visuals I’d never thought of…thank you for doing this…this song’s message is much more needed today than before…god bless.
Simon and Garfunkel warned of it on their song a long time ago. David is now emphasizing on it with a bang!!!!! We should listen to it.
Great reaction. To me Simon and Garfunkel the original writers and performers were telling us back in the 60’s when I first heard the song to get our shit together or the future won’t be pretty and this version is saying oh well the shit has now hit the fan!!!!! Just saying.
Davids heavenly voice took this song to the cosmos
It's absolutely spiritual!
Yes, absolutely!
Well you are in for a surprise with "down with the sickness"
Flawless victory! I love Disturbed.
Yes, David Draiman is one of a kind!
Silence is also a sound.
Yeah...David was really able to capture the lyrics..... That was almost more important than his amazing voice.
Hi, new subscriber - I'd love for you to react to 'Singularity' by V of BTS - it's really beautiful, with a strong R&B feel; also, 'Black Swan' or 'Blood Sweat & Tears' by BTS is gorgeous.
Disturbed has amazing vocals and musical talent. Try listening to Down With the Sickness, The Light, A Reason to Fight, Through the Fire, and Hold on to Memories. They also perform an amazing version of Sting's If I Ever Lose my Faith in You.
Yes def the loudest silence is that of partners both being silent the silence speaks volumes....this is a dark version of this song yet it feels calming and the dark clouds feel like serenity to me...I really really loved this version of the song and if u chose it or it was recommended or requested it was indeed a great choice for a reaction especially for someone like u...I’m certain the clouds told a story to you 💯💯...thank u for this 🙌
i choose this one... love it
Somehow I’m not surprised...I know I say it often but this really might be my favorite 🙌🙌💯💯🆙🆙🆙great great choice mi Rasta
Great review of the song and I love your interpretation. How he sung it is meant to portray the message that is written.
Best vocals ever! Love David. This interpretation of this classic is perfection! I still get chills and goosebumps and I’ve heard this version 100+ times! Check out his live version on Conan and know he was very sick at the time of this performance.
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.
Notice that you are each instrument discovered in the video before it is added to the music. Piano, guitar......
Your review was SPLENDID! Brava Brava BRAVA! IM A Subscriber to you! David Draimen FOREVER!!!!!....your brilliant 👏!!!
Wow, thank you!
I like the Conan rendition as well, but the video on this one gets me every time. Notice the end of the video. Music sheets on one side and the boat full of instruments going to join them. 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.
The singer actually belted that out in one day and was high on marijuana and didn't know he wasn't doing lyrics that day.....that's real emotion...I'm sure they thought about the video...but the lyrics were recorded in 2 or 3 takes.....at least David Draimon said so himself
I never get tired of watching this song or reactions to it. Every single time the final verse starts, all the muscles in my core and jaw clench. My heart hurts when the drums boom. Honestly I would have the same (literally) visceral feelings just watching it all, but especially David's face, with the sound turned completely off. Very nice reaction/interpretation.
Check out Wooden Ships by Crosby Stills and Nash. OMG David would crush that into the ground too!
Would love to see and hear your reaction to Concrete Blond, God is a Bullet.
That would be the best reaction cobber.. brilliant
Random request my man.... please react to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly by Danish Symphony Orchestra... it will be amazing to see your reaction about it, tnx and more power to your channel!!
Oh wow his so amazing talented singer, that was so nice. Amazing reaction sir. JhenV
You’re right. He has intense eyes❣️
To add to other comments you may learn more about the meaning of this song by listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s version of this song (as Simon wrote it) and then listen again to this. As many have said the original was a warning. This version shows the result of ignoring that warning. Little did Simon know how prophetic his song would become in today’s world of technology.
You did nail the meaning the neon light was television but it now it still means social media after all these years..
Dude, your cool. Love you take on this song! Few less jump shots you will be awesome:)
...I will be 62 in Aug. I have been listening to this song since my early teens...until Disturbed cover...I had Never really Heard the Words...It was never as PROPHETIC as it is Now...I could loop this All Day
I agree about listening to this song by disturbed on repeat, you don’t look 62 tho , maybe you are 42 lol 😆
Listen to LIVE on Conan
Its worth it just.to see the strings, trumpets, violins, etc
Absolutely one of best covers ever done by anyone!!!!!
This may well be the best cover ever! Really amazing!
His voice is soothing. He would make an excellent country singer
I love Reggae maybe you should add this to your playlist. “Leave The Door Open” (Cover) by Kuerdas band. original singer: Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak.
Thats not disturbed original sound...try to react to down with the sickness by disturbed..
thats right , i made a mistake while editing
Loved your breakdown
You should try their A Reason To Fight...
An original by Disturbed that is a beautiful song what gives you hope is "Hold on to Memories. I prefer the official live video, but both are great and something they do at every concert and their fans love it. David is ranked in the top 100 vocalist of all time.
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!
lol 😂 you are funny, I will send some right now as it is snowing so bad where I live , but I escaped it because I had to go burry my dad in Jamaica, it’s pretty warm here , so I’m also sending sunshine ☀️
@@GlassesKingdom Sad. I had to do the same last year almost to the day, for my dad. I miss him.
Love the remake WOW
Thanks for your reaction. You made me laugh quite a lot just by your reactions and your stares. Loved your guitar bit at the end of the song. Great video.
S&G did a good job on the lyrics, but Dosturbed to the level oh Holy Crap!!! David's voice makes it perfect! It starts calm and gets angrier and angrier, the way it should have been done back in 64...KUDOS TO DISTURBED FOR MAKING A PERFECT COVER OF THIS SONG!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
When a song such as this is repeatedly interrupted it loses the power it has
Watch the original, the power is there , if I don’t interrupt UA-cam consider it reposting someone’s content, it’s against the guidelines, so if you want no interruptions you know where to find the original
I have also been blown away by this version of Sound of Silence. I've loved the song since Simon and Garfunkel introduced to their music!
David D. has elevated this song to an epic experience. Both physical and spiritual.
Thank you for validation with your expertise!
I'm right there too. I love watching 1st reactions of Disturbed's Sound of Silence. It's so interesting. Of course all have loved it because they're fantastic!!
In 1954. in the summer. The city had a polio epidemic. It was a summer of silence. Deafening silence. Yes, I was 6 years of age. We were a young neighborhood with 6 schools in walking distance. No childhood play, no childhood sounds. This takes me back to that summer.
Song from my teen years love love love this version!!!!!!!! Hey listen to Marshall Tucker Band. "Cant You See" Its awesome ,I guarentee you'll like it. And I love your hat.
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...
You get it.
Aside from the AWESOME vocals, that tiny bit of acoustic guitars riffs just makes the song, for me anyway. The whole arrangement is fantastic, but that tiny guitars sweeps just put the frosting on the cake!
I like your reaction you sounded really good too
Thank you 😊
What's this? Like the fifth track off that album that's been covered and received major awards? Simon was a fluff but the writing skills are undeniable.
This song was originally written by Art Garfunal and Paul Simon back in the late 60's or early 70's.
Cuando algo te toca y araña el alma y la hace más humana, estoy ante algo increible, magnífico, inigualable, su. VOZ prodigiosa arranca desde lo más profundo de los sentimientos y llega nos transforma. Deberia escucharse en todo el mundo, seguro que muchossss los traspasara. Voz impresionante, divina, inigualable, y esta orquesta magistral. ES VERDAD, es una divinidad.
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.
This song was famous 50 years ago, by Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon wrote it. I believe David Draiman and Disturbed wanted to respect the original song as well as put their own spin on it. The writer approved of this version.
Listen to the live version. Even more beautiful. I agree it should have received many awards. People are still talking about it. Many people are moved by it even today
Not sure if you know, but Disturbed now cover of The Police song "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You". Was beautiful.
Go back and check out the original by Simon n Garfunkel. Read the lyrics , it's very deep
Your review was very detailed and had more interesting aspects, some of which I thought of myself and others didn't. You made a lot of good points. Your "intro and outro" words made me think of how I speak when I talk to others. Thank you for doing this reaction video. I am 78 and I thought it was a super video and have watched it probably 50 times by now.

@@GlassesKingdom AT THE TIME IM WATCHING YOUR VIDEO THERE WAS 222 COMMENTS, AND ANOTHER MESSAGE FROM GOD
Although the original by Simon and Garfunkel maybe not have been revered as is should have been, David Michael Draiman
could not have done this song any more justice.
I watch for this every time I watch a new-to-me reaction - about 1 or 2 bars in, the reactors eyes open wide. No one expects this from a metal singer. It's just wonderful.
I love love love your reaction this song took my breath away first time I heard it I couldn't quit playing it it just does something to you I apologize for no punctuation just throw some in where you think they need to be LOL you were actually very complimentary of the song and of the singer. I listen to these reaction people and they want a critique and down size you're a beautiful person for the comments you made. And I agree, why hadn't I heard this sooner. Have a blessed night.
I watched this reaction strictly because I love when I get the reaction you just gave. For that reason. I'm now a follower. Fantastic and on the money reaction 👌 thank you 😊
My pleasure always
What I love most is the way the song just keeps building and building never giving you a chance to catch breath. Touches the soul with the anger it needs.
The live version at conan is great too
yes it is
Imho it's a masterpiece:
Lyrics, melody, arrangements, voice and the video
Paul Simon wrote this song in 1964. This cover is the only one Paul has ever welcomed.
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
A heavy metal band that catches EVERYONE by surprise, then elevates and conquers a song (this song) 50+ years after it was written!! Anyone who hasn't been blown away by this isn't really listening!! No matter what music you like (All Genres) this is superbly done and flawless in every way!! The best cover/song/official video these past 5+ years. \m/

You are so right, I didn’t even hear or could find a fraction of a flaw... the best I’ve seen
You Have to ck out rage against the machines song killing in the name of. It was written during the Rodney King riots. It will blow your mind if you read the lyrics.
Everybody's reaction to this is phenomenal yours was just so so you're too fixated on yourself to listen you stop stopped and stopped so for that I'm giving you a thumbs down and for Disturbed I'm giving a thousand thumbs up
First time watching one of your videos and I must say I loved it! I thoroughly enjoyed to your interpretation and breakdown. It is always refreshing to hear someone who really gets the importance of music.
