I'm not sure if you guys read these, but just in case, I'm 71 years old, I was about 13 or 14 when Paul Simon wrote this song and it's always been a favorite. When I heard Ya'll "Disturbed" do this cover, I actually had goose bumps from head to toe. by the time it got to the end ,I had tears in my eyes. You "Disturbed" have brought a great deal of justice to this great hit, and will carry it's legacy for many, many years. Out of the millions of views of this video, I'm sure at least 1000 are mine. The words to the song, mean as much or more now than when written, so many years ago. Even though I'm not a Metal fan, I will always cherish your version. To say this old man is obsessed with this cover, would be a gross understatement, Carry on, and God Bless ya, and THANK YOU, from a Fan, In Tennessee.
@StjDUK, it's like Paul Simon was saying "man this song was written and waiting for you to sing it. I see that this version has one-billion, (1 billion) views...WOW!!!
This song brings me back to lonely nights staring at the stars while deployed in Iraq in 04.... the sounds of gunfire and choppers overhead overlapped by the sounds of silence in my own head while watching the stars wishing for a peace I couldn't observe...... thank you for this masterpiece...
Ohl Matthew what an experience you so many soldiers all over the world had to go through. Hope and pray these effects are less than lessened over the years for you and everyone else who lived through war like my moms family moved back to Greece in twenties and stayed throughout world War II in the 40s. She went to three wars the ones the Italians. The Germans and then the Civil War made by the communist up till 1949 when they were brought back to America because they were natural born citizens by the state department.. Mon still had those nightmares up till the 60s. Now she's gone and those nightmares are gone too. And my dad was drafted when he was 35 years old and had a heart attack during the blitzgred in London that partly disabled him. I wish you more peace over the years take care brother thank you
For my people, my city, coffins parading in army trucks ... without the greeting of their loved ones ... only tears in solitude. I love you Bergamo ... we will rise stronger than before
My brother worked in Italy, i went to pick him up in Rijeka,Croatia, when he crosssed border there.He Is well, and doing fine.Now we are quarantined,and i just wanted to listen to this song,,,
We played this at my uncles funeral after he passed on Christmas Eve. He loved disturbed. I miss you Uncle Mark Edit: thank you for all the love you guys, y'all are the greatest. Edit: happy birthday uncle mark. The family got together and listened to this song. We love you.
"Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again" i was clean off meth for 9 months, but decided to relapse, and was driving to the "plug's" house. I listened to this song on the way there, and somehow, those words alone made me decide to turn around and go home. Ive remained sober, going on 6 years of sobriety now.
Congratulations. Very proud of you. I have a nephew who is an addict. He was high or drunk for 10+ years, starting at 14-15 years old. He's been in a treatment program for 2 years now and is FINALLY clean and sober. He has been through hell. I'm sure you have too. Keep up the sobriety, my friend. God has big plans for you.
fourirons213 that just proves that even these heavy metal guys that yell through 90% of their song are much more talented than the bubble gum pop crap and hip hop and r&b where 100% of their music is auto tune. This is coming from a guy who grew up listening and still listens to country.
It's fun to see how many of them can actually sing. The dude from Slipknot can sign his fucking ass off too. Check out Stone Sour.... his other band. It's sorta like this on some tracks.
My little brother and I both bonded over Disturbed. We played this at his funeral this past summer after he lost his war against cancer. I love you Jarvis, tears are falling from my eyes as I think of you. RIP
In metal game he is yeah average 1.Mike patton 2.Phil anselmo 3.Corey taylor 4.Mikael åkerfeldt 5.Matt shadow 6.Rob halford 7.Bruce dickinson Etc. But yeah i like his voice tho
@@DevourmentDay Please let me take this opportunity to express my most humblest and sincere apologies to you. I had no idea that making a light hearted comment about 1 man's voice in 1 song would have such a profound affect on you. I am mortified that I hurt your feelings and totally disregarded your wealth of knowledge. Knowledge you so gracefully shared with all of us. We are all much better people because you were able to list your favourite singers. I hope this apoloy has improved your quality of life. I sure hope that a comment from an obviously uneducated person won't always work you into a tizz. You take care now.
Over 1 BILLION views in December 2024!! INSANSE!! When he said he wanted to wait till he could "do it justice".... omg he blew the original out of the water!
Yes! Merry Christmas from Queensland Australia. Simon and Garfunkel have great songs that travel time and recreate magic. This version for me feels triumphant. I listened with my sons on Christmas day. Then we sang.
"Blowing the original out of the water" doesn't make sense. This version wouldn't exist without the original. Great songs are covered by great artists.
I lost my elderly mum just over 4 months ago. I used to play music to her regularly of which she loved this song by Disturbed. She was 92 yrs old and had vascular dementia. Makes me cry when I hear this song but I know she is around in love and spirit.
If she was 92 years old I can tell you right the fuck now, she did not like the that group of players. Simon and Garfunkel was who played this song. Not that shit crap remake of garbage
so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 2 years ago and it's as fresh today as it has ever been. Think of the happiness your mum felt in those moments you shared, let that joy into your heart and feel the happiness she must have experienced. You gave her that.
Experienced. That is the only word to describe hearing this song. You don’t “listen” to it. You don’t dance to it. You EXPERIENCE it. S&G gave us the poetry, David Draiman gave us the warning.
Tôi là người Việt Nam, năm nay tôi 27 tuổi. Bọn Mỹ, Pháp, Nhật, Lính đánh thuê Úc, Hàn, Thái Lan, Philippines đến đất nước Việt Nam chúng tôi và chúng tàn phá hoà bình của chúng tôi. Mọi thứ đã qua, nhưng chúng tôi không quên được những đau thương đã xảy ra trong quá khứ đó. Tôi mong rằng bạn hiểu tôi đang nói gì. Thân gửi người lính già, hãy cho con cháu của ông biết về cuộc chiến tranh phi nghĩa mà chính đất nước, chính phủ các ông đã gây ra.
His voice is so incredibly soft and powerful at the same time. I remember when I first heard this version on the morning radio. It was a couple of months after my father's sudden death. My dad had been a Simon and Garfunkel fan. I listened to this cover and had to pull to the side of the road as I was bawling my eyes out. It was cathartic. Thank you for helping me grieve with this song.
Sorry for your lose! Live every day like dad is behind you, and make him proud because of you. I can't even imagine to lose someone from my close family, but I am fightting with my own... because I don't have time for them and I know I will regret once.
@@Gwen34900 wow Gwen I don't know how to say something here.. I feel deep in the painful area of my body the depth of what you said but you and your father.. I can't express any more into words the feeling in my soul can't be explained adjust know that music brings back so many hurts and loves
This was my dads fav song, he loved S&G and he passed this pass January, I felt broken as I was the one who found him. Maybe two days had passed and this video showed up in my feed, God did I cry and I still get a big lump in my throat when I hear it. This is so beautifully done, I love his voice, you can just FEEL the emotion. It has forever changed the song for me but in a good way, I love this version. And I like to think my dad sent this to me to say "I'm still here, listen for me in the silence" ❤️

This version of Simon and Garfunkel's song echoes the times in which we now find ourselves... Dark, disturbing and full of rage. I love David's voice, absolutely flawless.
I'll respect your privacy, Pardon me for writing in your comment am impressed by your personality. I admire your kind demeanour. I mean It's quite impressive the way you expressed yourself, and I can tell you are an easygoing person someone worth spending time with. sorry if this sounds weird, but I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends.
If you like THIS version...go find the one from Conan O'Brian's talk show. If at all possible, play it through a really good sound system...one that'll rattle your bones a little. I simply can not get past that first lift without sobbing uncontrollably. Very few pieces of music can do that to me. I'm not going to do it tonight, because I've had a long day and, truthfully, it's a bit exhausting to listen to and watch. But, damn, when I need an emotional cleanse...David Draiman, on that night, sick as a dog with a high fever, (as the legend goes) threw a performance that belongs upon Mount Olympus...but it was given to us mere mortals!

Als unser Hund vor einem knappen halben Jahr eingeschläfert worden ist, lief dieser Song zufällig im Hintergrund im Radio. Seitdem verknüpfe ich "The Sound Of Silence" mit diesem Moment. Ich habe ihn gerade zum ersten Mal wieder gehört, um mich an diesen Abschied zu erinnern. Ruhe in Frieden Karlos, du warst ein toller Hund und ich vermisse dich sehr!
David may never really know how beautiful and powerful his voice is. This version brought meaning to the song, I lost my sister to cancer, may God bless those who have fought, lost and won the victory of this dreaded disease.
Back here again to hear this remarkable voice of David. Since I've discovered this group,I listen everyday several times and will never get tired of it. David is a master artist with his voice,also the other songs he sings. What a rare group !
Disturbed absolutely rocked this song. This song sends chills down your arms everytime and brings a tear to your face one of the most powerful songs ever made
WE DID IT!!! It's been 8 years, and we're 32 million away from this video getting 1 billion views! LET'S DO IT, GUYS!!! Edit: I just checked back a month later, and now 18 million left. We're doing great! Edit 2 on April 14, 2024: Now we're 10 million away! We're so close!
Wish I could thank you enough for the pleasure u guys gave my husband in his last moments of life he insisted that he listened to u as he took his last breath so from the bottom of my heart thank you guys x
@@ivyivee1042 I heard it when I was 21 .....now I'm 80 . This version, with the great voice , emotion and video brings an awesome dimension to Pauls song . Bravo !
Covid dont exist. They fabricated a massive plandemic in 2019 of October called event 201. 4 months later on the us news they claim someone died, learn about pshycological military warfare. Your all being played... the mask wearing is a Iniation into the new system.
Not a huge fan of disturbed. Like a few of their songs, but most of them felt generic over the years, but holy crap this blew me away. Glad to see that he gave the song the respect it deserves, while still making it his own.
I have listen to the others that have made their version of this song and there is no one that can match the way you can sing it. thank you for the remake I think it is great

Beat my opiate fentanyl addiction. Carried this song for a long time. This one hit hard and did its job. Love and respect to all of you. Always hold on. Always.
I feel you. This to me is God himself thru Disturbed warning us. There are battles before us and there will surely be loss and pieces to be picked up. But in the end...He sends help. God has already helped you. I too need help. Thank you for sharing.
It's 2024 and I'm back at this song, trying to have energy for a new year. All of my friends are enjoying new year, and I'm sitting in a room next to them crying, trying to convince myself that I do not want to die today, I didn't eat in 2 days, but this song gave me hope again and I will try to do better.Thank you for this beautiful song, it was a shit year and the next one i hope to be better. If everyone feels the same as me, let's try to be positive and see the new year as a new chance. Happy new year
I hope you know you matter, your loved, and cared for. You're needed in this world. I hope you find peace within yourself this year. I know it's hard, but hold on, love, you aren't alone, even when you are. There's a world full of people that understand how you feel. 🫶🫶🫶
I hear you. Lost my mom in September. Sister hasn't talked to me. My daughter and my grandkids won't talk to me. I wish I knew why. All I have is silence.
***** some real old songs are starting to come back into circulation but as i said this generation think they know music when they don't like what they think is "ROCK" isn't actually ROCK theres a YT channel called the combat veteran he does a video skit exactly like it where his friend gets into his car and puts on "ROCK" look it up.
I agree this generation lacks an appreciation of good music, but genres evolve over time; there are many sub-genres of rock that you may not like but that doesn't mean they're not rock. They might not be a classic rock and roll band, but they still fall under the category of rock because they belong to a sub-genre of it. Unless of course you're talking about genres that are completely separate from rock, in which case I'd agree.
When I was a teenager back in the 70's I recall my dad saying that in 20 years the young people would laugh at my music just like I laughed at his. Now 50 years later I see kids listening to Led Zepplin and wearing Pink Floyd t-shirts and singing "Sound of Silence" I gotta say, Dad (RIP) you know I love you but they don't laugh at our music, they just remake it.
I haven't listened to metal much for a long time but my brother passed this along to me and it blows me away. I think I've replayed it at least a dozen times in the last two days. I always loved the original Simon & Garfunkel version and I never thought anyone could do it better, but man oh man. I get misty-eyed every time I hear it. And judging from the comments I'm not the only one. Words cannot begin to describe how awesome this rendition is, and I am now a Disturbed fan.
+Scott Bieser I love reading the responses from those who grew up with the S&G version or those who loved the original and are impressed with the cover as well. I had heard the original a few times but never really "listened" to the lyrics. This one made me listen, the vocals so powerful with the lyrics. I feel like it reinvents the song for the current time. I can imagine that's how people felt hearing the original the first time. That it fit that time. I have listened to this over and over and so many times. Gives me chills!
+Janice B I think that's a good point. This is a powerful song in any time when it's performed according to the musical tastes of the time. I still love the S&G version because that is my time, but this version is probably the best rendition of it I've ever heard and I hope it speaks to today's generations the way it did 40 years ago.
+Scott Bieser Me too just try to get tickets my god they are like metal johnny cash I'm going to have to go to canada from NY NY WHAT EVER IT TAKES I'M THERE
This is a line that with a change in words means a lot to a depressed person like myself, life, is not measured in the number of breaths you take, but the number of moments that take your breath away-benjerman Franklin
I don't understand why everyone makes a big deal on where they came from. who cares where you heard it. it's all about loving a truly great remake of a beautiful song and disturbed deserves all the respect and recognition.

❤December 30th 2024 and this 64 year old just listened and watched this on my new IPad with AirPods. WOW this version really hit my heart. I see the lyrics being used every day now. People text rather than talk. Just seems like song is more relevant in today’s world vs when Simon and Garfunkel did their version. Paul Simon wrote this song, but Disturbed put Todays meaning and heart into it!
I knew the name of the song for most of my 60 yrs. However, I never "heard" until I listened to video 9 years after it was made and my world stopped. Never, ever has a song/voice brought me to tears. Silence like a cancer grows!!!! Wow!!!!!!
I’ll be honest. When I first heard that Disturbed made a cover of this song, I was highly sceptical. I love Disturbed, but hearing that they were doing a song by Simon and Garfunkel left me thinking that they were going to end up butchering the original. But then I went in and listened to this song and, let me just say, I was blown away. I’ve now heard this song more times than I can count and everytime I hear it, it’s just as amazing as when I first heard it. I will always love Disturbed, regardless of what other people say.
Couldn't agree more! I usually hate covers, along with movie remakes. This is the exception! There is so much power and depth, so much more than the original. I'm old, remember the lyrics to most S&G songs lol. Hate to admit that I prefer this but I do! Listen to it 2 or 3 times daily lol. Amazing voice and the video is wonderfully dark, just perfect
@@michaelwarren202just starting?? 😂 not quite. It’s been around a good year now. Good ol Ç0vīď is going around again here in Ohio. If the govt announces another pandemic , I’ll be quitting my job and buying an rv. Time to enjoy this planet we live on. Life is too short ❤
Wow, this is astonishly powerful. I've been a hardcore Paul Simon fan my entire life and know next to nothing about Disbturbed, and this is easily the best cover I've ever heard of any of his songs. Definitely in the top five of covers, period. Like others have said, it gave me goosebumps and left me with tears in my eyes.
Never thought I would see him do something like this. Even though I don't usually like songs like this. I find this so addictive. The lyrics are just awesome.
Hello Disturbed my old friend, I've come to listen to you again... I came back one year later to edit this because I learned how to English because of my English teacher
No matter how many times I hear it, I cannot get over how well done it is. His voice is perfect for it and they build it up perfectly, the crescendo is right where it is supposed to be for that grand ending. Well done, well done.
Jesus Christ is the love of your life. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7 ✝🌅 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. John 3:11 🌅 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 ✝🌅
I put this comment so everytime it gets a like i come back to hear one of the best songs of the 20th century get a 21st century cover by one of the best bands of the same century
+Kent Mains He sure can. Wonder what would happen if you put him side by side next to chester benington (link park lead singer). It would a holy shit moment :)
I'm 11 years old and I love this music thanks to my father I wasn't even born when it came out and I think the music is so good thank you dad for introducing me to this music I love you dad, my condolences to the singer 🕊🕊
Paul Simon who wrote this song (and who wrote all the songs-lyrics and music for Simon & Garfunkel) apparently saw Disturbed performing this song on a late night show and contacted the band saying he was very impressed by their "powerful " performance of this song.
I think that most artists don't get upset, when they see another band doing one of their old songs. If anything, it should be flattering to know that your message is still relevant, even if the actual way it is sung, gets updated to a more modern beat and rhythm. In most cases, it is easily recognizable as derived from the original, with many of the basic patterns of notes and melodies being maintained, if slightly altered in tempo and range. This song is a perfect example of that and it goes to show, that another artists vision of the song, can even improve it, from the point of view of the younger generation and sometimes, even the original generation of listeners. However, there will always be those who prefer the original. I like both versions, but Disturbed's version is better, in my opinion. I think the power of the voice behind the message is what Paul recognized. The message was given strength.
Trent Reznor from NIN said the same thing to Johnny Cash about the song "Hurt." At first Reznor was a little put out because of how personal the song was to him but after he heard Cash sing it and saw his video for it he told him this is no longer my song it's yours.
Hello, darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping. And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone. Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp. I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never share. And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools," said I, "You do not know: Silence, like a cancer, grows. Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you," But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence. And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls. And whispered in the sound of silence."
my mom passed away this past December and we chose to use this song in her memorial as it was one of her favorite songs and now i listen to it constantly because it reminds me of her and how much she loved this band and especially this song.
I honestly cannot stop watching this video. The singer is so intense, yet comforting in some way. The song has always been a favorite of mine but this version blows the original out of the water. So much power and such an awesome message.
Forgetting Iron Maiden? Honestly though David is a fantastic baritone singer that doesn't get nearly enough credit for his voice, early on he made some comments that rubbed people the wrong way and until relatively recently a significant amount of the metalhead community wrongfully wrote him off as a cheesy prick. Fantastic singer and especially these days a really cool guy who isn't afraid to admit his mistakes, mad respect for David.
I didn't expect a music video for this song. I wasn't sure how it could be done without losing the beauty and impact from just the lyrics and music. That's what I get for doubting Disturbed. They always find a way to make it work.
+Mathmachine ROFL!!! I was first introduced to their music when I was at a dangerous point in my life. Since then, I've not only known just how far they can go with it, but I've seen Disturbed in a light that I couldn't possibly explain to some.
+Mathmachine I didn't doubt David's voice, but it still blew me away. His voice makes me prefer this over the original. He has one of the most diverse and unique voices iv'e ever heard.
I can’t believe this is going to be 6 years old this year. I feel like this song has only been around for 3 years but at the same time it’s a classic that sounds better everytime I hear it
@@outdoorswitho5 it most definitely is not. Much like Johnny Cash singing Hurt, sometimes a new performance transforms a song into something better. This is one of those songs.
Oh shit...I got a whole new meaning out of this cover. His intensity and deepness brought more of a frustrated and angry feel for the state of humanity. I just love how the lyrics are so applicable decades after this song was first written - I have a feeling it will be applicable for years to come.
Liz Xu. I couldn't agree more. Paul Simon rolling into New York at the youbg age of what. 21. When he witnessed and took in, and then wrote of his experiences. Yes more anger and frustration in the state of humanity decades later, sad in itself. When I first heard of this remake I didn't think I would care for it. I was wrong and can't quite listening to it again. Perfect tribute to a genius's work of art.
There will be a time when we'll not sing any songs but still be as frustrated about the state of humanity as you were while listening to this song. That time is near. I only hope that I don't make it to that time ever.
+ADENS SKY Cover songs that will give you an eargasm, like this one did (thank me later): Imagine - A Perfect Circle Rocket Man - Puscifer White Rabbit - Emiliana Torrini Bitches Ain't Shit - Ben Folds 5 Hurt - Johnny Cash Such Great Heights - Streetlight Manifesto Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard - Streetlight Manifesto 99 Problems - Hugo 99 Red Balloons - Goldfinger Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley My Way - Sid Vicious Enjoy. Let me know what you think.
I have 0⃣ words in the English language to explain how I feel after listening to this man sing. Too many emotions running wild to understand what they mean. I'm pretty sure childhood trauma was unlocked and moved from subconscious to conscious. How did he do that? 😭😭😭
Sherman McClesky You really need to learn what it takes to be a "Rock" or "metal" This rendition has no focus on drums guitar and at best a good voice that borders on screaming like a petulant child,
Metal is defined by who ever listens to it. Metallica is seen as metal by most but is seen as rock by "post core black metal alternative" types. Honestly I see it as if its heavier than Ozzy then it's metal.

Cheers sir - good music transcends time and generations indeed.
Cheers from the other side of the world!!
When Paul Simon himself says " it is now your song" there is no higher praise.....i am dumbfounded at this masterly retelling
Trent Reznor said the same after hearing Johnny Cash's cover of hurt.
Like you say, it really is the greatest compliment one artist cann pay another.
@@StjDUK what an honor!! 🙏❤️

It’s still a great song more stories to be told
Do you have a source for this "it is now your song" quote?
This song brings me back to lonely nights staring at the stars while deployed in Iraq in 04.... the sounds of gunfire and choppers overhead overlapped by the sounds of silence in my own head while watching the stars wishing for a peace I couldn't observe......
thank you for this masterpiece...
I hope you well, my friend!
Ohl Matthew what an experience you so many soldiers all over the world had to go through. Hope and pray these effects are less than lessened over the years for you and everyone else who lived through war like my moms family moved back to Greece in twenties and stayed throughout world War II in the 40s. She went to three wars the ones the Italians. The Germans and then the Civil War made by the communist up till 1949 when they were brought back to America because they were natural born citizens by the state department.. Mon still had those nightmares up till the 60s. Now she's gone and those nightmares are gone too. And my dad was drafted when he was 35 years old and had a heart attack during the blitzgred in London that partly disabled him. I wish you more peace over the years take care brother thank you
Oh dear friend George, your history is even worse. I hope you live well these days...
Sad that humankind still has to fight wars I pray for all of us
I can’t imagine. I am
Glad you endured this

"Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again" i was clean off meth for 9 months, but decided to relapse, and was driving to the "plug's" house. I listened to this song on the way there, and somehow, those words alone made me decide to turn around and go home. Ive remained sober, going on 6 years of sobriety now.
There is power in his voice and song. Keep up the fight, you got this. Merry Christmas 🎄
Congratulations. Very proud of you. I have a nephew who is an addict. He was high or drunk for 10+ years, starting at 14-15 years old. He's been in a treatment program for 2 years now and is FINALLY clean and sober. He has been through hell. I'm sure you have too. Keep up the sobriety, my friend. God has big plans for you.
I'm so happy for you. It's not a sprint it's a marathon. One step at a time. I lost many people to meth. My younger brother, I miss the most.
Bravo to you!
I love the calmer voices of these heavy metal guys. Idk what it is but it just sounds sooooo good.
fourirons213 that just proves that even these heavy metal guys that yell through 90% of their song are much more talented than the bubble gum pop crap and hip hop and r&b where 100% of their music is auto tune.
This is coming from a guy who grew up listening and still listens to country.
biker932012 Never thought of it that way. There are a few bands out today that are truly talented but they're very hard to find.
It's fun to see how many of them can actually sing. The dude from Slipknot can sign his fucking ass off too. Check out Stone Sour.... his other band. It's sorta like this on some tracks.
stone sour is amazing
fourirons213 yes it put me to sleep
My little brother and I both bonded over Disturbed. We played this at his funeral this past summer after he lost his war against cancer. I love you Jarvis, tears are falling from my eyes as I think of you. RIP
Sorry to hear that.. I know my words wont Change anything but I hope that you can smile again in the future
blaq negrokage Damn my heart. I'm sorry man.

The range of this guy's voice is incredible.
If i could sing like this I would charm little old ladies and scare little children

But yeah i like his voice tho
If you listen to more metal songs, your brain will explode when you know for the first time that metal musicians are above average level
@@DevourmentDay Please let me take this opportunity to express my most humblest and sincere apologies to you. I had no idea that making a light hearted comment about 1 man's voice in 1 song would have such a profound affect on you. I am mortified that I hurt your feelings and totally disregarded your wealth of knowledge. Knowledge you so gracefully shared with all of us. We are all much better people because you were able to list your favourite singers. I hope this apoloy has improved your quality of life. I sure hope that a comment from an obviously uneducated person won't always work you into a tizz.
You take care now.
Over 1 BILLION views in December 2024!! INSANSE!! When he said he wanted to wait till he could "do it justice".... omg he blew the original out of the water!
Tfffffff
Yes! Merry Christmas from Queensland Australia. Simon and Garfunkel have great songs that travel time and recreate magic. This version for me feels triumphant. I listened with my sons on Christmas day. Then we sang.
And 99.9% of commenters have zero clue what the song is about.
"Blowing the original out of the water" doesn't make sense. This version wouldn't exist without the original. Great songs are covered by great artists.
@@BALD_PAB
I'm actually interested. Please share
I lost my elderly mum just over 4 months ago. I used to play music to her regularly of which she loved this song by Disturbed. She was 92 yrs old and had vascular dementia. Makes me cry when I hear this song but I know she is around in love and spirit.
I'm sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful song to remember her by
If she was 92 years old I can tell you right the fuck now, she did not like the that group of players. Simon and Garfunkel was who played this song. Not that shit crap remake of garbage
I believe she's still around you. She still loves you.❤
Sorry for your loss, may she be resting in peace, may her memory bring you more smiles than tears.
so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 2 years ago and it's as fresh today as it has ever been. Think of the happiness your mum felt in those moments you shared, let that joy into your heart and feel the happiness she must have experienced. You gave her that.
This song legitimately gets you through all the stages of grief in 4 minutes.
True
thanks for sharing, needed to see it this way. maybe now ill heal a little more
That’s deep, please give some insight
@@RyanLg123 Just if you’re having a shit day, play this and you feel better in 4 minutes.

Experienced. That is the only word to describe hearing this song. You don’t “listen” to it. You don’t dance to it. You EXPERIENCE it. S&G gave us the poetry, David Draiman gave us the warning.
...and re-experience it.
You become it.
Listening to something is a form of experience though

Exactly
I lost my mentally handicapped son 2 yrs ago, listening to him sing this song made me cry he sings it so beautifully.

His voice is so incredibly soft and powerful at the same time.
I remember when I first heard this version on the morning radio. It was a couple of months after my father's sudden death. My dad had been a Simon and Garfunkel fan. I listened to this cover and had to pull to the side of the road as I was bawling my eyes out. It was cathartic. Thank you for helping me grieve with this song.
Wow! The fact that there is something
God: Would you like to sing like an angel or a demon?
David Draiman: Yes please
Sorry for your lose! Live every day like dad is behind you, and make him proud because of you. I can't even imagine to lose someone from my close family, but I am fightting with my own... because I don't have time for them and I know I will regret once.

This was my dads fav song, he loved S&G and he passed this pass January, I felt broken as I was the one who found him. Maybe two days had passed and this video showed up in my feed, God did I cry and I still get a big lump in my throat when I hear it. This is so beautifully done, I love his voice, you can just FEEL the emotion. It has forever changed the song for me but in a good way, I love this version. And I like to think my dad sent this to me to say "I'm still here, listen for me in the silence" ❤️
Beautiful words. God bless
Trust me , he is watching over you . He loves you :) .
I don't think he ever listened to this song but My dad passed in May. I feel your pain.
omg ist my dads favourite song!! :D
Doesn't matter how many times I hear this...still feels like the first time. Beyond stunning voice that will forever be cherished.

Hello! 🙌🏼🥳🙏🏻
Hi
This version of Simon and Garfunkel's song echoes the times in which we now find ourselves... Dark, disturbing and full of rage.
I love David's voice, absolutely flawless.
I'll respect your privacy, Pardon me for writing in your comment am impressed by your personality. I admire your kind demeanour. I mean It's quite impressive the way you expressed yourself, and I can tell you are an easygoing person someone worth spending time with. sorry if this sounds weird, but I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends.
Which is why Disturbed's version is so perfect. Unbelievable!
If you like THIS version...go find the one from Conan O'Brian's talk show. If at all possible, play it through a really good sound system...one that'll rattle your bones a little. I simply can not get past that first lift without sobbing uncontrollably. Very few pieces of music can do that to me. I'm not going to do it tonight, because I've had a long day and, truthfully, it's a bit exhausting to listen to and watch. But, damn, when I need an emotional cleanse...David Draiman, on that night, sick as a dog with a high fever, (as the legend goes) threw a performance that belongs upon Mount Olympus...but it was given to us mere mortals!
I am 70 y/o. Sang this song in chorus in HS. This is my favorite version! What a voice!

Als unser Hund vor einem knappen halben Jahr eingeschläfert worden ist, lief dieser Song zufällig im Hintergrund im Radio. Seitdem verknüpfe ich "The Sound Of Silence" mit diesem Moment. Ich habe ihn gerade zum ersten Mal wieder gehört, um mich an diesen Abschied zu erinnern. Ruhe in Frieden Karlos, du warst ein toller Hund und ich vermisse dich sehr!
I still can't get over how damn good this version is, not something at all I expected from Disturbed.
Or literally from any other singers!!
Well, he WAS classically trained according to him. He just feels most comfortable doing metal I guess
That’s right.
David may never really know how beautiful and powerful his voice is. This version brought meaning to the song, I lost my sister to cancer, may God bless those who have fought, lost and won the victory of this dreaded disease.
i know right
lol
If they don't play that at my funeral I won't come
😂🤣😆
OK. I'm not going either.
Just kidding. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Uhh, are they going to serve liquor at the wake?
That's funny but disturbing lol

Disturbed absolutely rocked this song. This song sends chills down your arms everytime and brings a tear to your face one of the most powerful songs ever made
The real one was in 1964 he just took most of the words
Well I'll be damned.... those things never happen to me when I hear it. I must be listening to it wrong

From what I've heard Paul Simon loved this cover.
once its been written sung released anyone can sing it

Love how the classic old songs keep returning.
The old songs never left. They are there, forever, for you to listen to. What a stupid statement.
technically they ain't this generation barely know they exist
I believe he's referring to how they return to popularity despite all the new stuff that's constantly being released. Not a stupid comment.
***** some real old songs are starting to come back into circulation but as i said this generation think they know music when they don't like what they think is "ROCK" isn't actually ROCK theres a YT channel called the combat veteran he does a video skit exactly like it where his friend gets into his car and puts on "ROCK" look it up.
I agree this generation lacks an appreciation of good music, but genres evolve over time; there are many sub-genres of rock that you may not like but that doesn't mean they're not rock. They might not be a classic rock and roll band, but they still fall under the category of rock because they belong to a sub-genre of it. Unless of course you're talking about genres that are completely separate from rock, in which case I'd agree.
I came for the metal, I got feels.
+DanteDiangello I always get feels on metal...
Csaba Mihály You'r right man! :)

When I was a teenager back in the 70's I recall my dad saying that in 20 years the young people would laugh at my music just like I laughed at his. Now 50 years later I see kids listening to Led Zepplin and wearing Pink Floyd t-shirts and singing "Sound of Silence" I gotta say, Dad (RIP) you know I love you but they don't laugh at our music, they just remake it.
Amen!!!
I'm a 2000s kid, and yes accurate but I prefer your version. I wish I was born in the 70s.
I think you're just like your father - generalising "young people" as if it's a single person.
Absolutely.
My grandson wishes he was born late 60s...early 70s.
I am 77 years old and Simond and Garfunkel did not make me shiver like this rendition. Most befitting arrangement for the times we're in.
I haven't listened to metal much for a long time but my brother passed this along to me and it blows me away. I think I've replayed it at least a dozen times in the last two days. I always loved the original Simon & Garfunkel version and I never thought anyone could do it better, but man oh man. I get misty-eyed every time I hear it.
And judging from the comments I'm not the only one. Words cannot begin to describe how awesome this rendition is, and I am now a Disturbed fan.
+Scott Bieser I love reading the responses from those who grew up with the S&G version or those who loved the original and are impressed with the cover as well.
I had heard the original a few times but never really "listened" to the lyrics. This one made me listen, the vocals so powerful with the lyrics. I feel like it reinvents the song for the current time. I can imagine that's how people felt hearing the original the first time. That it fit that time. I have listened to this over and over and so many times. Gives me chills!
+Janice B I think that's a good point. This is a powerful song in any time when it's performed according to the musical tastes of the time. I still love the S&G version because that is my time, but this version is probably the best rendition of it I've ever heard and I hope it speaks to today's generations the way it did 40 years ago.
+Scott Bieser Me too just try to get tickets my god they are like metal johnny cash I'm going to have to go to canada from NY NY WHAT EVER IT TAKES I'M THERE
Welcome to the Nation of The Guy.
+Scott Bieser Completely agree. I was stunned by the beauty of Disturbed's rendition of this song. So powerful, and he has such a beautiful voice.
This song brought me and my mom together.
She died a few days ago. This song makes me feel close to her again.
I feel ya.
My deepest condolences to you. You're mother is in a silent place now

“The music is not in the notes,
but in the silence between.”

That is an incredibly deep quote from an incredibly talented man

Stolen comment from deeper in this comment section. Bitchass
I knew the name of the song for most of my 60 yrs. However, I never "heard" until I listened to video 9 years after it was made and my world stopped. Never, ever has a song/voice brought me to tears. Silence like a cancer grows!!!! Wow!!!!!!
I’ll be honest. When I first heard that Disturbed made a cover of this song, I was highly sceptical. I love Disturbed, but hearing that they were doing a song by Simon and Garfunkel left me thinking that they were going to end up butchering the original. But then I went in and listened to this song and, let me just say, I was blown away. I’ve now heard this song more times than I can count and everytime I hear it, it’s just as amazing as when I first heard it. I will always love Disturbed, regardless of what other people say.
You're absolutely right. I love it.
💕🌹🎶
Sad to say but I actually like this version better than the original and I'm not one for remakes.
It's an awesome take on the original. In fact it's better.
Couldn't agree more! I usually hate covers, along with movie remakes. This is the exception! There is so much power and depth, so much more than the original. I'm old, remember the lyrics to most S&G songs lol.
Hate to admit that I prefer this but I do! Listen to it 2 or 3 times daily lol.
Amazing voice and the video is wonderfully dark, just perfect
In this year of 2020 I'm here listening to this song instead of panicking

Wow, this is astonishly powerful. I've been a hardcore Paul Simon fan my entire life and know next to nothing about Disbturbed, and this is easily the best cover I've ever heard of any of his songs. Definitely in the top five of covers, period. Like others have said, it gave me goosebumps and left me with tears in my eyes.
it's quite simply the most remarkable vocal performance I've ever heard!
I would like to know your other top 4 covers. Yes this is incredible
Listen to Colm Mcguiness cover version, its amazing also.
Its really good
@Ben Sturm I would put Bad Wolves' performance of Zombie cover for The Cranberries in my top 5.
Oh I always listen 3 or 4 times before I stop lol,I can't help it,it's soooo wonderful. December 24th. 2024,happy holiday's everyone!
He sings so angrily but yet so beautifully
Never thought I would see him do something like this. Even though I don't usually like songs like this. I find this so addictive. The lyrics are just awesome.
You can literally feel the pain he sings with.
+Nathan Watson Sports definitively a beautiful cover of the original Simon and Garfunkel song.
You're prettyyyyy
You know it brotha
Hello Disturbed my old friend, I've come to listen to you again...
I came back one year later to edit this because I learned how to English because of my English teacher
nice
lol
huehue
You clever little PanCake. xD
lol
No matter how many times I hear it, I cannot get over how well done it is. His voice is perfect for it and they build it up perfectly, the crescendo is right where it is supposed to be for that grand ending. Well done, well done.
Jesus Christ is the love of your life.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7 ✝🌅
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. John 3:11 🌅
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 ✝🌅
David is a trained Cantor (church choir leader) you can here it in the harmonics of his voice.
@@Andrew-Johnson How true brethren
I put this comment so everytime it gets a like i come back to hear one of the best songs of the 20th century get a 21st century cover by one of the best bands of the same century
The man can sing the hell out of a song.
+Kent Mains no doubt his ranges in his voice are incredible
+Kent Mains He sure can. Wonder what would happen if you put him side by side next to chester benington (link park lead singer). It would a holy shit moment :)
definitely
+Kent Mains
Except listen....
It's all AutoTune... sad, because I like this version
+chicagotransam That's crap. Watch the interview about producing the song.
“You can’t touch music, but music can touch you.”
Sheet music
Damn
Are u talking about nasty touch or... lmao
@Brix Broox wut
*Uncle’s named music have entered the chat*
My father has been listening to this song every day.
ngl same here
Lmao same
I can relate there's nothing worse than a troubled soul
Cant fault the bloke 👍
Same
I'm 11 years old and I love this music thanks to my father I wasn't even born when it came out and I think the music is so good thank you dad for introducing me to this music I love you dad, my condolences to the singer 🕊🕊
Paul Simon who wrote this song (and who wrote all the songs-lyrics and music for Simon & Garfunkel) apparently saw Disturbed performing this song on a late night show and contacted the band saying he was very impressed by their "powerful " performance of this song.
I remember he told disturbed once that "this was his song now, not mine"
@JamesRichmond yeah and David was crying it got emotional
I think that most artists don't get upset, when they see another band doing one of their old songs. If anything, it should be flattering to know that your message is still relevant, even if the actual way it is sung, gets updated to a more modern beat and rhythm. In most cases, it is easily recognizable as derived from the original, with many of the basic patterns of notes and melodies being maintained, if slightly altered in tempo and range. This song is a perfect example of that and it goes to show, that another artists vision of the song, can even improve it, from the point of view of the younger generation and sometimes, even the original generation of listeners. However, there will always be those who prefer the original. I like both versions, but Disturbed's version is better, in my opinion. I think the power of the voice behind the message is what Paul recognized. The message was given strength.
Trent Reznor from NIN said the same thing to Johnny Cash about the song "Hurt." At first Reznor was a little put out because of how personal the song was to him but after he heard Cash sing it and saw his video for it he told him this is no longer my song it's yours.
Nowadays , nobody can just cover a song in a late night show without asking the copyright question .
This story seems a bit constructed ...
Hello, darkness, my old friend.
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone.
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking.
People hearing without listening.
People writing songs that voices never share.
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools," said I, "You do not know:
Silence, like a cancer, grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you,"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said,
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whispered in the sound of silence."
Yes.. Simon Garfunkel sure could write songs...
Nice👌
Coolio
Real mvp

3 years have passed and people are still commenting on how wonderful this song is. Well, they aren't wrong ❤️
This Song is a master piece 😍
This song will never die .never

my mom passed away this past December and we chose to use this song in her memorial as it was one of her favorite songs and now i listen to it constantly because it reminds me of her and how much she loved this band and especially this song.
Don’t
Well I hope you will feel better and she is watch you
RIP Timothy's mom :(
Sorry for your loss. I guarantee she's always watching over all of you.
Rip
I honestly cannot stop watching this video. The singer is so intense, yet comforting in some way. The song has always been a favorite of mine but this version blows the original out of the water. So much power and such an awesome message.
+Becky Ayers what's the message?
+Sea Hawks You're kidding me right?
Becky Ayers
english is not my native language. sorry to kid you. but yes, Im being serious. what's the message?
+Sea Hawks It's about communication between people. ;)
Becky Ayers
thank you
Wow, mixed opera-like singing and a metal vocalist's voice combined...so it really is possible 😮
Forgetting Iron Maiden? Honestly though David is a fantastic baritone singer that doesn't get nearly enough credit for his voice, early on he made some comments that rubbed people the wrong way and until relatively recently a significant amount of the metalhead community wrongfully wrote him off as a cheesy prick. Fantastic singer and especially these days a really cool guy who isn't afraid to admit his mistakes, mad respect for David.
Most properly trained metal singers can actually.
Nice infos. Thanks guys ❤
man, it's MUSIC! ANYTHING is possible!!
Jiyoshi where you been living lol, never heard off nightwish, or within temptation? Need to broaden your horizons lol
Knoxville Tennessee, Merry Christmas to all and I pray for peace throughout this world and in Jesus Christ name, amen.
amen ❤
St Petersburg, FL here. Merry Christmas. Pray for Peace on earth in 2025🙏
This is more than a cover - it's a damned TRIBUTE.
True!
An an anthem of sorts!
Sin lugar a dudas
I didn't expect a music video for this song. I wasn't sure how it could be done without losing the beauty and impact from just the lyrics and music. That's what I get for doubting Disturbed. They always find a way to make it work.
+Mathmachine The video was so gorgeously done! Every single aspect was perfect for the lyrics
+Mathmachine ROFL!!! I was first introduced to their music when I was at a dangerous point in my life. Since then, I've not only known just how far they can go with it, but I've seen Disturbed in a light that I couldn't possibly explain to some.
+Mathmachine I didn't doubt David's voice, but it still blew me away. His voice makes me prefer this over the original. He has one of the most diverse and unique voices iv'e ever heard.
+Mathmachine ALWAYS!

Hayden Good comments I've seen

This is one of those rare occasions where the cover vastly outshines the original. Brava Gentlemen.
I can’t believe this is going to be 6 years old this year. I feel like this song has only been around for 3 years but at the same time it’s a classic that sounds better everytime I hear it
actually , the song is from 1964 by Simon and Garfunkel
Wrong, it was written in 1964
@@alexgeorge8058 The Simon and Garfunkel version of this song is much better
Ok guys will u calm down I was just stating something about THIS song, I wasn’t mentioning anything he original
@@outdoorswitho5 it most definitely is not. Much like Johnny Cash singing Hurt, sometimes a new performance transforms a song into something better. This is one of those songs.
Oh shit...I got a whole new meaning out of this cover. His intensity and deepness brought more of a frustrated and angry feel for the state of humanity. I just love how the lyrics are so applicable decades after this song was first written - I have a feeling it will be applicable for years to come.
Liz Xu actually the fact that it will still be relevant decades later is what makes it so haunting.
Liz Xu. I couldn't agree more. Paul Simon rolling into New York at the youbg age of what. 21. When he witnessed and took in, and then wrote of his experiences. Yes more anger and frustration in the state of humanity decades later, sad in itself. When I first heard of this remake I didn't think I would care for it. I was wrong and can't quite listening to it again. Perfect tribute to a genius's work of art.
Liz Xu agreed
There will be a time when we'll not sing any songs but still be as frustrated about the state of humanity as you were while listening to this song. That time is near. I only hope that I don't make it to that time ever.
Liz Xu to be fair it kinda pisses me off that this song is still relevant half a century later
This video just hit one billion views tonight! Congratulations Disturbed and thank you for this amazing cover!
Davon sind 1000 von mir 😅
That video of the soldier training training the dog is what brought me here. So thank that creator too.
Near to 5 million physical viewers so its analogically 200 times per person in 8 years so 2800 days. So 2 views per month?
haha yeah...
This song gave me goosebumps the first time I listened to it. And it still does, every time
His voice is so powerful . He took this song to another dimension!!!
Agree

This song is so special. There’ll never be another like it and it literally brings tears to my eyes
Absolutely. Especially in today’s times when it means SO much and is unfortunately very accurate. This version is so powerful
Its a statement against Religon.I LOVE IT
🥲❤
I have 0⃣ words in the English language to explain how I feel after listening to this man sing. Too many emotions running wild to understand what they mean. I'm pretty sure childhood trauma was unlocked and moved from subconscious to conscious. How did he do that? 😭😭😭
This is one of my favorite Simon & Garfunkel songs. This version that you do is the icing on the cake. So *EPIC* it gives me the chills.

Ho Non Sais 💙 Mrs Robertson 💛
Buio
Paul’s version is Gods mercy. Second version by Disturbed is Gods wrath!
It's rock songs like this, that kills the myth that rock stars only scream, but they don't really sing. Very well done.
*metal
Sherman McClesky
You really need to learn what it takes to be a "Rock" or "metal"
This rendition has no focus on drums guitar and at best a good voice that borders on screaming like a petulant child,
L.S. Pig Sorry not metal NO guitar solo. just screaming.
john smith metal doesn’t necessarily need a guitar solo and it’s not necessarily screaming either. It’s just aggressive sounding music
Metal is defined by who ever listens to it. Metallica is seen as metal by most but is seen as rock by "post core black metal alternative" types. Honestly I see it as if its heavier than Ozzy then it's metal.
This man sounds like he can fight a whole ass dragon with his voice I love it!
Truly!! ❤
ok now I need a disturbed videogame where its literally the band fighting dragons and shit as a rhythm game
IRL D&D bard
lmao, yea.
Okay, a dragon made of asses seems a bit weird...
