Lyrics, are the same as Simon and Garfunkel's, Disturbed intonation and vid made this absolutely amazing!!!

[@bernardcoombs1778]

Yeah. What is he talking about, "Troll"?

[@HelloMrDead]

​@bernardcoombs1778 the kids movie named "Trolls" like after the 90s troll dolls. It's basically one big long musical number and one part of it is the Simon and Garfunkel lyrics. Trolls came out after this was sung by Disturbed

[@stephanginther9051]

Paul Simon *OF* Simon and Garfunkel said that this was his favorite version of the song. Now THAT is high praise since, ya know, *he wrote it.*

[@mizladytaz]

I love both versions equally (which is rare for me). The lyrics are exactly the same, though, in the original by Simon and Garfunkel and this cover by Disturbed

[@carlaharrington5120]

EXACTLY!! Lyrics are the same, only the "feel" of the song is different. A lot of people like to say that this version is the angry, resentful version cuz the peaceful, original version was ignored!!

[@rk41gator]

What is this about 'trolls'?

[@edwardbroyles9738]

I was a teen when Simon and Garfunkel released their version. I loved it but, I have to say Disturbed's version is much more powerful! I can watch this video on a loop and never get tired. Honestly it gives me chills every time I see it. The 60s & early 70s were a time of protest songs but this video is particularly appropriate considering the instability of our society today. It reaches out and grabs you but the throat and shakes you to make the point "WTF is wrong with you" people are so blase about our crumbling infrastructures and systems. Wake up and pay attention. Sorry for preaching but that's the message I get from this video.

[@rk41gator]

@@edwardbroyles9738 I agree. But I think "our crumbling infrastructures and systems" while far from great are a minor problem as compared to US's crumbling lack of integrity and fairness. Too many are sacrificing their morals for 'win at any cost' mentality. What is needed is an understanding of the problems and effective ways of pulling together to fix them. Blind pseudo-patriotism can do nothing but temporarily hide the warts and hide what is truly wrong. That has gotten us in the sorry state we are currently in. Listen to the truth on subway walls not empty slogans. Open our eyes and ears; listen and stop talking past each other.

[@edwardbroyles9738]

@@rk41gator I agree with you. My comment was getting kind of long so I cut it short. The original Simon and Garfunkel song seemed more hopeful like please listen to what I say. Disturbed's version strikes me as you were warned and you still are only interested in yourself. As in screw the future of the world, I just want to get more, more, more. Money & POWER!!

[@jeffstevens4262]

Lead singer David Draiman was classically trained as a singer in the Jewish tradition, but chose heavy metal (and we're all really glad he did).

[@sportsmom165]

He was a Jewish Cantor.

[@jeffstevens4262]

@@sportsmom165 Yes, and I know how much he hurt his grandfather by choosing the musical path he did, rather than continue through his faith. I heard they fell out badly, but thankfully, they reconciled their relationship before he passed away some years ago.

[@Luke26945]

He wasn't classically trained, he was trained to be a cantor but that's different. Absolutely amazing voice but he has said on numerous occasions that he never had any classic voice training.

[@jeffstevens4262]

@@Luke26945 Thanks for the heads up.

[@tinamakaneole8866]

Sometimes I watch him sing this just to get goosebumps lol. Rock on🤗❤️

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

The lyrics are the same as the original which was by Simon and Garfunkel.

[@carolinagallegos3926]

I absolutely love this cover!! The emotions I feel when hearing him sing this are deep!! 💖💖💖💖

[@nancyharn1980]

While a huge fan of Simon and Garfunkel, I love this version also. As a cover, it is day and night from the original, yet genius and as moving if not more. That is why it works for those of us that were teens in the Simon and Garfunkel era.

[@stephanginther9051]

Paul Simon shared this video on his social media with nothing but praise for it. Song author approval is the dream of any cover artist. (or at least I would assume so)

[@nancyharn1980]

April 2016, Paul Simon endorsed the cover.[71] Additionally, on April 1, Simon sent Draiman an email praising Disturbed's performance of the rendition on American talk show Conan. Simon wrote, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks." Draiman responded, "Mr. Simon, I am honored beyond words. We only hoped to pay homage and honor to the brilliance of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Your compliment means the world to me/us and we are eternally grateful."[72] As of September 2017, the single had sold over 1.5 million digital downloads[73] and had been streamed over 54 million times, estimated Nielsen Music.[74] As of July 2022, the music video has over 826 million views on KZbin, while the live performance on Conan has over 131 million, making it the most watched KZbin video from the show.

[@anthonyblakely399]

O absolutely LOVE this cover. and I am a fan of Simon and Garfunkel and I really like Simon & Garfunkel version who originally wrote the song......depressing but truthful....and this version is inspiring and forceful!!!!! L0ve it!!!! 💘💘💘💘

[@moodaymoom2271]

I, like you am a fan of both versions, also grew up listening and loving Simon and Garfunkle. What I'd say about this version and video is that it is so so powerful and I finally get the message that the original portrayed. So very very powerful, makes you sit up and think just how far down the road we have come . If only the original version had made us do the same then I don't think we would be in this mess that the world is in now. IMO.

[@ronaldgines171]

Simon and Garfunkel original ask that you listen.... Disturbed demands that you listen.

[@vernhoke7730]

I'm old enough to remember hearing the original on the radio back in sixties. Paul Simon loved this, can't be said about alot of covers. If you haven't yet check out their covers of Genisis' "Land of Confusion" and Tears for Fears "Shout", called "Shout 2000". Both are excellent covers.

[@thedominator87]

disturbed covered it from simon and garfunkel, and disturbed's conan o brian performance is just as beautiful, also the vocalist david was sick with the flu during it

[@BOOMER28401]

Better on conan

[@NZsarge1]

Yeah I prefer the live version from Conan

[@unknownrider3071]

Do you have a reference for him having the flu?

[@rk41gator]

Almost SHOCKING that Disturbed did this amazing cover. I love this video. It's metaphors work so well with this fabulous tune.

[@riaanbehr7976]

I loved your reaction and interpretation of it. The live version on the Conan show is even more powerful. David was very sick that night and they still received a Grammy nomination. Just AMAZING 👌👌👌

[@unknownrider3071]

Sick? More likely he got stoned while waiting backstage then claimed he was sick to cover-up the symptoms.

[@junco1312]

I've learned that David Draiman and Disturbed address depression, addiction and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the most popular, loved bands of our time! ❤❤❤😊

[@lauraulnye6857]

Original is done by Simon and Garfunkle. Check them out. Totally different feel.

[@kevinflood8330]

It was Simon and Garfunckle that did it originally

[@j.jennings1722]

When Simon and Garfunkel first released this song in the '60s, the audience loved it but the critics hated it, not because it wasn't a great song, it is, but because they were offended by the lyrics. They complained that how dare some barely 20 year old kid (Simon) skewer society like that, saying that something was wrong with our way of life. But, the song is poetic and people heard the truth behind the lyrics and resonated with them. Great cover!

[@junco1312]

This song has so many different meanings... When schools, especially public schools from kindergarten through high school, run out of funding, the first programs they cut ✂️ are the art's, music, theater, etc. Also, ISOLATION, DIVISION, LONELINESS, NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS OR EXPRESSING OURSELVES AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. We no longer interact face to face with each other, but through technology, social media on our cell phones and computers. I could go on and on. 😢

[@carollittle1059]

The darkness of the video gets the songs message. Paul Simon wrote it, Simon and Garfunkle recorded it.

[@traog]

LMAO the Trolls version wasn't the original, that would be Simon and Garfunkel from 1964, Disturbed did their version in 2015, the Troll version was a year later.

[@Afrodizyak47]

Deep, real and chilling. This grasps your very soul and shakes the living daylights out of it. It also personifies the message behind Simon and Garfunkel's original version, which pays homage to one of their college friends whom became blind and then survived that trauma, to be come successful in his own right. Love this song with deep sincerity!

[@Salieri21]

So you guys are not familiar with the genius duo Simon and Garfunkel…??!!😮 LEGENDS.

[@dennisboulais7905]

My favorite cover ever.

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

You should check out the live performance on Conan O'Brien.

[@robert-ef8qv]

Both versions are incredible, David Draiman’s version pierces your soul . Paul Simon told David, you own this song now ( Enough said ) Never ever get tired of this cover, get chills every time.🙏❤️👍

[@unknownrider3071]

Do you have a reference for that statement from Paul?

[@johnhull1955]

He is singing the original words just in a different style than Simon and Garfunkel

[@junco1312]

I have to give a shout out to the producers and the production crew and everyone involved in putting this exceptional video together! ❤❤❤

[@BrumKid]

Loved how she yawned at the start and then her jaw droped when he started stinging but she sat there with a blank look on her face till the end.

[@jennyboo9604]

I love how she was all sitting up then when the end came she relaxed and set back in aww 😀

[@carollittle1059]

Paul Simon said this is the best he has heard.

[@scottdebruyn7038]

The original by Simon & Garfunkel was a warning... Disturbed's version is expressed anger at the warning going unheeded... 🤨Love them both and the juxtaposition.😎

[@frankiecamacho8739]

The Simon & Garfunkel version was a warning. This version was a disappointment that we didn't heed the warning.

[@rollotomassi6232]

100% original lyrics

[@lindsaymac01]

Paul Simon congratulated David on his cover, after hearing it live on Conan. Simon and Garfunkel gave us the warning, Disturbed are pissed we didn;t listen.

[@stephenbloom8107]

Chills, every time!

[@richardshiver6146]

did you notice that the ark is filled with musical instruments, not animals

[@D0nut42]

I really appreciate the passion you both clearly feel when experiencing powerful music.

[@michaelgage9134]

My God, the Power ~!

[@kholler3414]

The Conan live version is off the chain.

[@nataliesmythe7643]

Haha, gave you the ole goosebumps

[@jotham777]

The original was created in the 1960s by Simon and Garfunkel. Please tell me you knew that

[@Royalblood405]

Well, I knew, but then again...I'm 66 years old. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkle.

[@estranhokonsta]

Yeah the way they keep talking about the Trolls movie, it really look like they think that the original was made for the kid's movie.

[@kristindunstan172]

This version is INCREDIBLE! If you want to see two other very good, a capella versions, check out Pentatonix and Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust. Both are excellent. The Hound and the Fox featuring Adam Chance is also very good with only guitar accompaniment.

[@heathertaylor-nicholson9387]

Trolls were not the first to record the song. It was written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel in the 1960s, and Disturbed did this as a cover version. David Draimain is a trained Cantor (Jewish chorister that leads the singing in a synagogue) but decided to be in a heavy metal band instead. Simon and Garfunkel's version speaks how folk were beginning to stop interacting with each other, bcoming glued to their TV sets instead and it was a warning. In this version it shows that it's still happening because now we hide behind our cell phones, tablets etc on social media, in other words decades later the problem in a way is now worse.

[@kentonwatts504]

Lyrics are exact to the original by Simon and Garfunkel, Paul Simon said this is one of his favorite covers of the song.

[@joeheffernan5268]

The orginal is Simon and Garfunkel in the early 70's

[@galvinklatt5273]

The lyrics are the same, in both versions. 👍

[@lisalaursen3684]

Chills and goosebumps from the start 😱So powerful and intense!

[@realbser1956]

This is a cover of the original Simon & Garfunkel song. The words are the same, just sung differently. Disturbed did not change the words. I love both versions equally. This version is definitely darker in tone and feeling.

[@marymccoy376]

Best cover ever

[@scuppernog1]

May well be the best cover of all time.

[@laineyb7708]

Nice reaction. It's even better with headphones.

[@bryanparker2925]

This is top of the best covers list. The others in my opinion is Shinedown’s “Simple Man” and Faith No More “ Easy”

[@shirleyanneyoung955]

Hurt - Johnny Cash?

Paul Simon wrote this song and it was first performed by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel (Simon and Garfunkel)

LIRICS by ..PAUL SIMON . !!!!!!!!!!

[@nancymjohnson]

The lyrics are the same as Simon and Garfunkel. Both versions are spectacular.

[@painterman6982]

It’s a cover. Which means it’s the same exact lyrics. Simon & Garfunkel said they did the song justice!!

[@ralpholson7616]

IMO, this is one of the greatest covers ever.

[@johnd256]

Trolls? Gahd, shoot me now.

[@jasoncook4008]

It's the same lyrics in the movie Trolls , this is just a remake from Simon & Garfunkel's song .

[@jasonblam7218]

Video is great but LIVE is EVERYTHING

[@junco1312]

Be sure to watch their live performance on Conan. NOTE: that 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 performancewas amazing and his was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! - Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS Tbyeam Coco

[@sparksdrinker5650]

Great t-shirt!

[@rk41gator]

I love both the original and this cover. So did Paul Simon (the composer). Disturbed covered Genesis' Land of Confusion and changed the focus also. You should check out that video. Amazing.

[@rodb9275]

Well she has to react to "Down With The Sickness". The full un-edited version

[@hockemeyer1]

These ARE Paul Simon's lyrics. The difference is the style and dramatics of the deliverance. The message is the same.

[@jennymark7403]

This song is word for word the original Simon and Garfunkel song just slowed down and music was great the original song was fast and funky

[@jennyboo9604]

This cover is my favorite it's fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@laurab68707]

The original is Simon and Garfunkel. Trolls? Nooo. This is such an amazing cover. The best IMO.

[@glendacrosbywilkins4246]

The words are the same ....no matter who sings them.....They are a Powerful message to all of us from God...Fools... Sais....I... You do not know......Hear my Words that I might teach you....Take my arms that I might reach you...The words of the Prophets are Written......now its up to us to read them...David... Being a Jewish Cantor...Sings from his soul... And it is Beautiful.......

I know i wrote it somewhere in the comments before,but thats some sweet drumming in the intro!

[@junco1312]

First off, if I had recommended this cover or any cover of "The Sound of Silence" to you or any of these channels, I would have told you/them to first play the original video by Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon wrote this classic song in 1964 and I think their first video was released in 1965. I have no idea what Trolls is but they did not write "The Sound of Silence"

[@carladams5891]

Another good one is Hold Onto Memories!! There's two videos for it but I like the official video myself.

[@stephanietip]

This is a song originally by Simon and garfunkel. About 90% of everyone who sees this video fails to notice the 10,000 people maybe more standing on One River Bank are all holding sheet music in their hands ,the group is on the other bank. The river itself is a barrier keeping the band from the music and keeping the people from the band. The band then boards the ship which takes them across the river to the people who are holding all of the sheet music,ending the silence

[@michaelbancroft7423]

David Draiman has a great voice but you can't beat the harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel.

[@robertbrandon9733]

You should hear the live version on Conan O'Brien 2016, it's even better.

[@realPenrodPooch]

Simon & Garfunkel are the ORIGINAL artists.

[@ek-1707]

The Trolls version of this isn't even close to the original. It was written by Paul Simon the 1960's and performed by him with his partner Art Garfunkel.

[@krw73]

Wait, it's not different lyrics. Simon and Garfunkel initially did this song and it was much lighter. This is a cover but with his own spin on it to be much darker. It's the same song just covered differently.

[@trucker4272]

Listen to THE LIGHT by disturbed

You should definitely check out the live version on the Conan O'Brian show. It was actually better.

[@deannelson9565]

reactions 101 never talk to each other when you're muted!! the God damn whole purpose of these videos is to understand your reaction if you're talking to each other and you're muted you're literally wrecking the experience!! It's pretty straightforward if you have something that you feel you need to say to each other then fucking say it and don't mute it the rest of the people watching cuz you're literally reacting which is exactly the reason why we're here!

[@dennish3032]

A view i got from a commentor about a year or more ago , the original is the warning that something needs done , Disturbed using the same lyrics showed us the anger that the warning was ignored. I do not believe thats true of either version ( not completely) but when hearing it one version after the other it SURE AS HELL SOUNDS LIKE IT. Play both back to back and tell us what you think..

[@harley9714]

It’s like they both predicted the future as how all of us will communicate among ourselves that god fore bid that we disturb the sound of silence. So what we do now texting e-mail voice mail. And when we get the chance to talk face to face all we do is hear BUT are we LISTENING.

[@andreamajchrzak3475]

Disturbed"s version any day of the week, month, year! Not sure why these two were confused as to who was singing and the guy said he redid the original. Disturbed the band, did the cover! David's voice is absolutely amazing

[@trickhayproductions]

YOU HAVE TO PLAY DEE THE SONG BODIES... the original is sung by Simon & Garfunkel and is more acoustic.

Original was a warning. This is an autopsy.
