Disturbed- The Sound Of Silence REACTION (I CRIED)

[@jamibrady6445]

I wouldn’t want to be someone that isn’t touched by this song/performance. It is truly amazing.

[@photobyhe]

only dead people won't get touched by this song

[@dalehammers4425]

Nobody leaves this song unscathed.

[@mdroberg]

That is one of the best summaries of the impact of this song I’ve ever seen.

[@joannedarley1893]

Be proud of your tears man, it just means that your soul was listening.

[@deanabennett8461]

Already Gone by them is absolutely a tear jerker.

[@paulcerny2992]

My Soul was ripped out of my body by this artist and his Interpretation of song .

[@paulaharvey5020]

Beautiful, honest reaction. Love it. You have to have a heart of stone if it doesn't affect you like this.

[@marchethomas1]

You are not the only one to shed a tear for this version by Disturbed. You won't be the last

[@jenniferhoolihan1450]

Amen ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@frankjones4357]

Now THAT was what I call an honest "reaction", as opposed to contually pausing to conduct a technical analysis. Really appreciate you not interrupting an epic performance. I had a similar reaction the first time I heard it. Just absolutely blown away. Keep up the great work!

[@argilbertson]

I cried like a baby the first time I heard this song, dont feel bad man. His voice reaches into your soul and touches that place that mourns the loss of empathy.

[@maryp9207]

Beautifully said!

[@ritalowrie1296]

Oh boy, I don’t even know how many times I’ve listened to this song. Every time I hear it I still get the chills.

[@yidarmy3916]

beautiful song.... you dont just listen to it, you are drawn in and you feel it as well.

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

It is not a song just to listen to, but a song to be impacted and attacked by. You can hardly breath during the last half and have to catch your breath when it ends.

[@ramblin_man23]

I'm a 42 year-old man and when I heard it for the first time I was in the back of the parts store I worked at. After the song ended I went straight to the bathroom and balled like a baby. I'm divorced and miss my family and that song hit me deep down inside.

[@brasondenton401]

I'm sorry to hear about your family my friend...

[@timbuck4943]

🙏I wish more people would open their hearts like this gentleman did while hearing this song 😇

[@robinfox6256]

Don’t feel bad dude! I’ve watched this video probably 200 times and have the same reaction every time. Tears and my breath catches in my chest in parts! BEST video BEST voice I’ve ever heard. I’m 60 yrs old and Disturbed is my favorite band!

[@Orbitalmercury]

I cry all the time when I hear this song and not ashamed to admit it. This song seems like it was the perfect mixture of vocal quality, music and visuals all come together to produce one of the best songs ever made. Seems so perfect as it just draws the emotions out of us and its not even necessarily a very sad song but still very emotionally powerful.

[@mariedavis5116]

Everybody has that reaction, I alway's get chills.

[@veteranhoffman6776]

I’ve been obsessed with watching reaction videos to this cover, this one has got to be my favorite, it was almost the same as my first reaction. Mindblown, tears, emotional roller coaster, that incredible voice…..

[@vickifunk9429]

I had a complete religious experience the first time I heard this. I believe every word he sings, never had a singer pierce my soul like this. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.

[@deed5811]

Disturbed's version made me cry the first time I heard it, and again when they released the video. Very powerful cover that makes you think.

[@annieh5479]

Simon and Garfunkle's original version was a warning - Disturbed's version is a primal scream. Just awesome.

[@RissaFirecat]

Absolutely! The warning, then the cry that you didn't LISTEN!

[@VladimirBlarp]

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

[@jast.1613]

One of the best reactions I've seen to this song. Honest, and you said more by saying very little. Emotion is what music is supposed to invoke.

[@Melody-sc3mp]

When a song finds it's true master it will make you feel every time

[@revseancasey2774]

embrace your tears my friend, this piece of musical perfection has brought stronger men than you and I to tears and will continue to do so for many years to come.

[@robwheelut]

Let that emotion go this is a very powerful song and Davids voice spot on...Genius

[@ritalowrie1296]

Don't worry about the tears dude. I too had tears in my eyes when I first listened to it. I have watched a lot of people who reacted to this song. Believe me most of them had tears in their eyes. It grabs the soul and heart. Thanks for your reaction 👏

[@darrengardner4989]

Such an honest and human reaction. Thank you for sharing.

[@dianehappydaystudios9509]

Best reaction I’ve seen. You felt it and let it take you on the journey Disturbed created. I can listen to this song all day and still get goosebumps every time.

[@aliteralfawkinghorse4149]

Roy Reactor video is good too

[@M.W.VanDyke]

That was exactly my reaction the first time I heard this cover by disturbed - and the 100th time too. Teary eyed and breathless. You are not, and never were, alone on that reaction. :)

[@thelwulfeoforlic6482]

I’ve loved this song since first hearing it as a child in the early 70’s, I’ve searched ever since to find someone who could sing with the power that Paul Simons words deserved; at last (in ‘Disturbed’s’ version) my search has ended!!!

[@Dracojax]

The original artists actually liked it enough that posted a link to this version on their social media

[@SherPettit]

David has one of the most beautiful powerful voices ever ❤️🌹❤️

[@nancymerrillsayed7585]

If you look at other reactions, almost everyone cries, honey. You really cried like your heart was breaking. That's what makes you strong

[@serafsup99]

Great reaction dude! Dont sweat those tears, anyone with some sort of soul tears up for this version of a timeless classic! I did , so powerful to hear David just take it to a different plain!! Peace...

[@brendawebb3231]

It's perfect when you find a song and it reaches down deep into your soul.

[@tvadakia]

I had the same reaction, my friend. We’re human, the lot of us.

[@M-S_4321]

'And when they didn't listen God had them sing out the massage louder' That's what it feels like, it's a spiritual experience.

[@mariajapon9334]

Cuando se toca y araña el alma humana modificandola se está ante una OBRA MAESTRA. SU VOZZZZ TAN INCREIBLEMENTE ÚNICA MARAVILLOSA E INIGUALABLE NACE DE LO MÁS PROFUNDO DE LOS SENTIMIENTOS. DEBERÍA SER ESCUCHADA EN TODO EL MUNDO. ES MUUUY PODEROSA. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Desde Andalucía (España).

[@virginiafisk3912]

Loved, loved your reaction! The urgency & intensity Distirbed is pleading with humans to Wake Up. Everyone should be struck in the heart with his warning. l can relate so much your heartfelt reaction.......l just sobbed through the entire piece. His beautiful voice, the video, the passion.

[@browniewin4121]

Nobody but nobody is unmoved by this. If you haven't heard the original version by Simon & Garfunkel I think you should check it out. Paul Simons lyrics delivered in a very different style, but when he heard this cover he shared it. Also, watch the live version of this on the Conan O'Brien show, I find it even more powerful than this music video.

[@janiemingues1121]

he grabs your soul and dont let go !!

[@Krgiwa]

Me too... every time. ❤️

[@matthewmoralez1652]

No interruptions. Straight reaction. Saw the emotions rise up in you. Now that's how it's done !!

[@johnspartan98]

Makes you ask the question: what just happened to me?

[@stevehughes6627]

I've been listening to reviews for 3 hours now, and I'm still a 60 yo blubbing his eyes out

[@sylverkat9488]

I still get chills every time I hear it. With you all the way, man.

[@sonnydortmund1513]

Love the way you reacted man. Brilliant.

[@sevenhdhope]

Fantastic reaction, i could see that you were feeling it the way its meant to be enjoyed. Thank you!

[@rickmcgibbon6290]

S&G who first performed this song back in 1964 gave us their poetry and a warning, David D. in 2020 gives us passion and frustration that nobody really heard their warning. Hearing without listening ???

[@lisafoley1705]

LOVED LOVED LOVED your reaction to the neon lights.....

[@sharonlambchoporeggio5761]

Absolutely amazing!!! Tears and goosebumps everytime I hear this song.. EPIC!!!

[@louannaford9278]

Larry Butler you totally nailed this song he may not have been talkin about cell phones. But he was talking about the future which includes cell phones. This is a touching very moving song from men and even more so now that Disturbed has turned it into a Primal scream

[@12211219]

This song is all about the great awakening. The first, third and fifth verse is written in the perspective of the unawakened and the second and fourth verse is written in the perspective of the awakened.

[@rjwms57]

“WOW” is the most frequent first word spoken after Reactors watch this video. It’s an intense and emotional video. Great reaction brother.

[@me-pm6mx]

It's a song that you don't listen to once because you can't believe what you just heard. Your reaction is the same for a lot of us. First time I heard this song, I was cooking dinner and had to stop and listen then watched the video. Continued cooking dinner, but replayed it over and over again.

[@crosisofborg5524]

I still get teary eyes when I listen to it.

[@smolsen23]

I just saw your video, and I just love the way you react to this song. Thank you for showing your emotions. I feel the same way

[@smiff4748]

Joanne Darley said it all my friend. Its only when your soul hears the words that the meaning of this song becomes known. God bless

[@samhalburian4712]

Yeah, me too!

[@lisakraft9222]

My reaction too! Speechless!

[@marlonhillard1965]

Riding in a big rig.....staring out of the windshield....and u stumble across some s..t like this.....smh......wwwwwwhhhheeeewwwwwww.....this band took this song and made it their own. Absolutely fantastic. I had to pull over for a second. Blown away. Great reaction, brotha. Your genuine honesty.....good stuff.

[@terriwynne8440]

It’s incredibly emotional for me too … loved your reaction.

[@novicetech1]

Dude! I totally understand. It hit me like that too.

[@joycevaldes4548]

Merry Christmas... just met you...you didn't need to say a word...your countenance said it ALL.. the effect on you...all has had...later gator...it's all good!!! Joyce in Tahoe

[@fatboyreacts9373]

Thank you for the love 😊

[@kathybelk5478]

Such.a heart-warming reaction Sweetie. This song takes us on a roller coaster ride, no matter how many times we listen to it. Check out the band's live performance on Conan:-)

[@laurajackson5929]

Powerful. I know! It hits you straight to your soul!!

[@jans4248]

David has such a powerful, soul touching voice , even in his other work , which is not like this . I would suggest Prayer and Indestructible by Disturbed as well . Also, by Bad Wolves , Zombie , another amazing cover . hagd

[@joshtrusty7459]

Yea the first time I heard this song I was tearing up like crazy.

[@philippetersen64]

Very human response. It got me too Bro

[@robertseymour6095]

I like your way you listen

[@angelabirmingham3377]

I absolutely loved your reaction. I loved seeing you feel the power of the music. I love this song and I applaud your reaction. ❤️

[@jefffordyce1536]

Don't be afraid to feel the message brother!

[@emileewooten3874]

He has been interviewed and mentioned looking out at the crowd seeing ppl crying. The song moves you..

[@rickperry3165]

This song does in fact touch your soul.......... immensely! Great reaction bro. I subbed.

[@fatboyreacts9373]

I appreciate that

[@judy4792]

I was disturbed!!

[@nathaliedumont5423]

un petit bonjour de france ! toujours la même émotion d'écouter David de disturbeb chanter ♥ Bonne continuation ! prenez soin de vous ;)

[@matsjakobsson1376]

Paul Simon, WHO wrote THE song normally Hayes covers. He out a Link to Davids version!!

[@ericmasters7630]

A master class.

[@Matrice0409]

that's why we have music

[@NocturnalIntellect]

Your emotions bring out everyone’s emotions. And that’s the wonderful thing about music. There are no boundaries, no color, no race. Just raw emotions. David Draiman literally remastered that song. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the original. Sing/written by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Have a listen to that, and then return to this and you’ll see how he’s turned a folk song into a masterpiece.

[@larrybutler8948]

Paul Simon wrote this in 1964ish..You heard the song but you didn't listen to the song. Paul Simon's version was the warning in 1965..Disturbed was the rage that no one listened and we are where we are today because people hear but they do not listen. Paul wrote about the future and it is here. Cell Phones..everyone's nose is in their phone. Internet , Remote everything, Video Games no one Listens anymore. Words of the Prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls. I knew when I hear Simon version he was trying to tell us things in 1965 I was 16 years old. Listen listen close , do not just hear Listen.

[@deed5811]

Paul wrote about the present then, but it has only grown worse.

[@quititsomemore]

Right on...well said---- Listen and be heard.

[@foxymacadoo]

Boris D According to a interview I saw with Paul Simon he wrote this song as a protest about recording studios because they would not record and play his music. It was not a prophecy about the future. This was before he got together with Garfunkel. He was not protesting about cell phones, computers etc. That did not exist back then. If there is a connection to driving through areas where poverty existed he did not mention it in the interview I saw. Would not surprise me if that was part of his inspiration. Sound of Silance is one of those rare somewhere that will affect generations, past, present and future. I love Disturb's version. It affects people differently. A brilliant cover!!

[@foxymacadoo]

I know you didn't but I see comments from several others concerning the song I thought I would mention it. So many others think the song was written about cell phones etc. When it was not. Did not mean to indicate that you did. Sorry :)

[@larrybutler8948]

@@foxymacadoo actually Motorola made a Prototype Cell Phone in 1915, but abandoned it as they were worried about interfering with wire devices. Computers were around in 1964 and many decades before. Charles Babbage is considered the Father of computers in the 1800's ..Where do the words come from that enter your mind? From Higher ups then you and I. I still stand with it is about Cell Phones, computers, Video Games etc etc etc.

[@patriciacloix71]

Il nous fait chialer et ouais 🙏👍😱OMG!!!

[@yvonneblath1852]

Jeder sollte sich der Kraft seiner Gedanken bewusst sein, der Geist beherrscht die Materie. Was du denkst ziehst du an und lässt es geschehen.

[@patriciahopey1384]

We all cry. 3cheers from Canada

[@ralph1270]

Great reaction my man! This is what happened to me the first time I heard it also.

[@lynettejones3076]

Love 💓 it...Well done you....

[@fatboyreacts9373]

Many many thanks

[@sandyleewhite]

Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning, of impending doom, if we do not change our ways, & Disturbed's version is rage because the warning was ignored 🥺 Great reaction !!!

[@p-nut4209]

Yep....

[@rozequinn1519]

I loved your reaction ❤

[@darkjedi447]

I hope you will listen to them sing this song live on the CONAN O'BRIAN show. Same song but sung even more beautifully. You will love it!

[@Kicknback]

automatic like because you were classy enough to let it play thru, Good job

[@gregoryclark3870]

I can’t speak about this to my friends without becoming emotional so I text them an encourage to experience this masterpiece

[@jc-ql1it]

With in a minute in you can see his heavy breathing. It does hit you pretty hard and quickly.

[@JC-nl9yq]

My mans was speechless 😶

[@zjohnsoncg]

Yoo great reaction, you're gonna get a huge following. Some songs it works to pause and discuss, this song is not one of those songs-- thanks for letting it play uninterrupted.

[@fernandolixandrao2940]

I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis ... Excellent ........ David Draiman's voice is epic. Regarding the lyrics, Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning. The Disturbed version is furious because the warning was ignored.

[@eue073]

...tears? seme here :)

[@garyleonard9110]

Original by Paul simon and garfunkel from a dream Paul had in 1964 before cell phone and computer and social media listen and then think about it

[@scottjswenson]

Your emotions got you a new subscriber :)

[@johnnbeuscher468]

I highly recommend Silent Lucidity by Queensryche

[@jimsmith8435]

Peace, my friend

[@jeanmarienadal7268]

Hey!!! I cry haard

[@tailsof1leo180]

Would recommend you react to Disturbed’s song Inside the Fire as well

[@tonipowell632]

Great one to recommend...that one will take you to places inside yourself that you didn't even know you had

[@94520shatto]

The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is sad resignation. The Sound of Silence by Disturbed is Dammit, LISTEN! ***** The Warning ***** "And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made." ~ Paul Simon "And the people bowed and prayed, to the golden calf they made." ~ Old Testament
