    I'm 51 years old and I've been a musician for 38years now.
    IMO this version of Sound of Silence is probably the most powerful song that I've ever experienced.
    Even after hearing this version hundreds of times over the past several years I feel the emotional power and connection of it every single time.

      In watching the video, their cover and images seem to center upon music. Do you feel from your perspective as a professional musician that they ('Disturbed' and perhaps Paul Simon) are saying something specific about the music industry itself? Or is music simply a metaphor?

      @@rc3394Don't blame UA-cam, it's the people or the corporations that own the copyrights that force UA-cam to block certain videos. Some copyright holders don't mind others using their content and some even encourages it while others won't allow it, even if it's broken up with pauses.
      What I've noticed is most musical artists that own their own content usually don't mind it and it's mainly when big corporations own the content that they don't allow it.

  • @colindelamare4588

    I first heard this when I was hard at work, and it came over the radio in the back-round. i am tone deaf, and cant sing a note, but I know, and appreciate people who can SING. Only wish I was graced with that gift. When I heard it, I stopped in my tracks. The hairs on my neck bristled, and my heart missed a beat or two. My soul was opened bare. It was like I was being admonished by an Angel. One of the most beautiful and meaningful songs I had ever heard. To me that is, but that's what its all about, isn't it?

  • @bardaghohio
    @bardaghohio 3 роки тому +66

    Great reaction, once again! Best comment I've read about this version of the song was that Simon & Garfunkel gave the warning of where our society was going, and Disturbed's version was anger that we've ignored that warning...I quite literally grew up with the original song, and loved it, but, always felt - like many others - that the music was almost "too soft" for those amazing lyrics. Disturbed's version - and David Draiman's incredible voice! - had as much power as the lyrics...and, this is now my favorite version of the song.

  • @carolbedrosian4650

    Everything about this song moves me. The instruments building up in intensity, the visuals of the storyline, even the play of light on David Draiman's face draw your attention to the brilliant lyrics written by Paul Simon. David Draiman's vocal performance was nothing short of brilliant. The way he interpreted the song and his vocal capabilities seals the performance. It is like listening to an angel and a demon contemporaneously. It's become of my favourite songs.

Not a fan of the original and was hesitant to listen to this one but am glad I did and have hundreds of times since and still feel an emotional, visceral response every single time.

    Loved your reaction! Middle aged woman here closer to 60 than 50. Grew up loving S&G but also fell in love with this version and then went down a Disturbed trip. I've never been into heavy metal, but I now have a number of their songs on my playlist. You must hear "Down With the Sickness" since that is Disturbed's signature song. I went through a depressed period and would play "The Light" on loop sobbing as I drove to work each day, with hope I would get back to light eventually. I did and then looped Are You Ready (Sam de Jong Remix) as I found my strength again.
    There are some who argue over the Sound of Silence versions by Simon and Garfunkel, Disturbed and Pentatonix. I love them all for difference reasons and moods.

    What I love about this whole thing is how it all stacks. For example, at the beginning of the song he mentions 10,000 people maybe more. People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. If you want to take this literal, it's talks about everything from politics to the way we are on social media. We throw out opinions but we don't state what we mean anymore. We just keep throwing out facts real quick and fast, but we no longer take the time to actually enunciate what are actual thoughts are. We tell people we hear them but we don't really take anything in. Honestly in this video, The sound of silence probably isn't quiet it's probably just noise. As the video goes on as they pick up each instrument you hear the instrument come into the song. And it's like actual music piercing through the noise something worth hearing as opposed to just 10,000 people speaking but not saying anything.

    • @artisannoteworthy

      I agree. Those are, maybe, my favorite lyrics.
      I'm more towards the almost literal meaning of them.
      That we speak with no real meaning behind what we say, almost like we blurt out whatever is in our minds at the time, but we don't TALK about what we should be,
      and we almost 'pretend' to listen to other people, just waiting for our turn to speak again.
      We TALK, but we don't SPEAK.
      We HEAR, others are talking but we don't LISTEN to what they're saying.
      We could also argue 'the neon gods we made' as talking about our phones. We basically can't exist without them anymore. (Nothing against tech, by the way. It just seems to control us at this point.)
      I know this song came out before cellphones were a thing, but SO much of this song translates almost PERFECTLY to modern times.

It’s so well done, I know you would love it. It’s more like this song you just reviewed, not so heavy metal like the majority of their catalog.

    I much prefer this version to the live version because I think the video had so many more layers to the song with the visuals. And his rage comes across so much more powerful. I think we're supposed to pick up on his rage at the fact that we haven't learned the lesson yet that Simon and Garfunkel sing about Over 50 years ago.
    Paul Simon heard discover bye disturbed and it brought tears to his eyes. He said David draiman was meant to sing this song. Quite high praises.
    I really like their cover of Stings if I ever lose my faith in you. I also like inside the fire. However, it does deal with the very sensitive topic of suicide of which David has a PSA at the beginning regarding suicide. When he was 16 he came across his girlfriend who had committed suicide.
