Simon and Garfunkel wrote this song at a time when the tv was taking over the home. People no longer talked at the dinner table, they watched tv while they ate and the tv was becoming the electric baby sitter. They were warning us not to ignore each other. Disturbed is the reality we have today. People talking without speaking...they text. Hearing without listening...they read what others write on their phones. No one wants to disturb the sound of silence by actually interacting with another person. And the neon god we made? The Smart phone. A whole generation has lost the art of being social with each other and that is the fulfillment of Simon and Garfunkel's warning and the rage for this loss is Disturb's version.

David Draiman, the lead singer, has a powerful and unique voice. The band has been around for quite a long time, since the 1990"s. Many of their songs are a lot heavier than this, but if you would like another ballad, I would suggest one off of their latest album, "Don't Tell Me" featuring the great Ann Wilson. There is a new music video that was released a short time ago that is lovely.

Love your reaction! I do not call this a cover song. It is an experience and stands on its own merit. Cover or not, Doesnt matter i. It is its own power and emotion. If you don't get chills, or emotional or tears then there is something seriously wrong with you. He goes from a voice of Angel wings fluttering to a growl that grabs your soul. We are 77 and 80. Tears and goosebumps each time we listen. David Draiman possesses an impressive vocal range that spans over three octaves, ranging from a low of E2 to a high of C6. Amazing!

This band is not a one hit wonder. Disturbed is one of the best bands there is. The messages they tell with their songs are second to only maybe Metallica. There are a few songs I will recommend. All three carry deep meaning with them and one of them is dark as a for warning. Inside the Fire is the one that is dark, but the message is very profound. The light is a song that has saved many lives and I jest you not. Last is Don't tell me with Ann Willson it carries a message that is hard to put into words. I have come to accept that Disturbed is capable of putting messages in all of their songs when it might have otherwise not happened with other artists. Every song of Disturbed's has meant something to everyone that has listened to them. I can't even come close to giving enough praise to them for all they have done.

6:11 I'm 75 and new to this whole "Reaction" to music and music videos scene. So far I've watched about 50 different channels/hosts all pertaining to Disturbed (David Draiman) "The Sound of Silence" Videos (their original 4K video and their live performance on Conan). Your's is the first video that has been blocked so that the viewer can't see it. What I need to know is, can you see it? Because if you can't then I really need to see your reaction and hear your comments while you are 👀 this video to be able to react to the whole experience. Also, please be sure to watch their live Conan performance. By the way, David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance and I heard he was not pleased with his performance, being the perfectionist that he is I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole was amazing and his performance was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL!

The S&G original was fine enough, but there's just something about David's voice that sort of violently pulls more emotion out of a person. Like, his voice just reaches into your soul and RIPS the emotion out, whether you like it or not. I haven't really kept up with Disturbed in the better part of 15 years now, but they haven't made anything I would personally call bad music. That's just my opinion, but youd probably be interested in listening to their albums in release order to hear the evolution of his vocal sound and the sound of the geouo in general. He's also the singer of Device, who also have some catchy songs. I think Disturbed is better, but Device are no slouches either
