Disturbed The Sound Of Silence Reaction!!

[@spunkygmahappy4778]

I am a 70 year old Great Grandmother, had never heard of Disturbed, I have watched at least 11 reviewers just this afternoon of this song. Each and every time I hear it I get goose bump and tear up. There is something in the way they have done this song that is so very touching. I decided to listen to more of thier music because of the choices in songs.

[@sandihandi7831]

I'm 78 grandmother and I've been listening and watching this for the last few days and I get chills, goosebumps, forget to breathe. People say Simon and Garfunkel sent a message but Disturbed is yelling because nobody listened. WOW They are now.

[@JeannetteMacintyre]

I find it confusing because there are different ways to interpret the song,I don't know what to think,but it's one of those numbers that just grab you,the music alone is fantastic,maybe we should ask the singer what it's all about,it reminds me a bit of Tubular Bells back in the day,just grabbed you,well done

[@hietala2173]

As a man who lives with bipolar and schizophrenia, it is a song that I put on when I start to lose the battles with my hallucinations or depression side of things. Sometimes both. It took me years to do it, but I found the strength to open up about my illnesses and I no longer hide them. It has cost me friends, because I refused to put up a poker face and play happy, but it has also kept me safe from myself. As I told someone else... it took me breaking the sound of silence and getting help that saved my life. When someone lives with depression in silence... they will die and it likely will be by their own hand.

Yeah. I can sense that like my husband, he might not fully understand why she is crying, much like my own husband, but he is willing to listen to why, just like my husband. I’ve seen one piece of entertainment make my husband cry. It was Sons of Anarchy, when one of the bikers died. He isn’t a cryer, but he had lost an old biker buddy right before that. He feels things deeply but expressed it differently. I get that Vin is much the same way. He sits like a stoic and thinks through his emotions, and puts them to words, but he always wants Sori to go first.

[@pattiecoxey]

This singer David, was raised Orthodox Jew. He was trained in classical singing. I believe the original song by S&G had a totally different meaning but it definitely is timeless. It can mean whatever you want it too. I have listened to every one on utube that has listened to this version and they all had a similar reaction as you guys. It does make you stop and think! One comment about you both. I hear you know the Bible but speak with some filthy words. Children may be watching and God knows all. Just sayin ✌️

I had the opportunity of seeing Disturbed live last month in Pennsylvania. I didn't have any idea of the setlist, so when they played this short set of songs for suicide awareness, and this song came out I was frozen. I couldn't see or hear anything else but David's powerful voice. Imagine a bunch of metalheads, with their cellphones or lighters raised, people crying, singing this song at one voice. It was something I will never forget. I felt my chest warm and my eyes were literally crying. Right at that moment this song became the best cover of a classic song I've ever heard.

David “the lead singer” said they covered this song from a perspective of anger at people for failing to heed the warning of the original song, that no one communicated with each other anymore, all they did was watch TV “the neon god”.. and instead of starting to communicate all we have done is replace tv with cell phones... he also said this was the hardest song he had ever sang... he is a classically trained opera singer, which sounds crazy for a metal singer haha... this was one of my fav songs as a kid in the 70s.. this and behind blue eyes by the who

[@marcialavine1272]

He was trained as a cantor, not in opera. Cantors lead services and sing service music, and they may seem indistinguishable from a cantorial soloist, who may also do those things. Both may have very good singing voices, and both may have had extensive musical training. The cantor, however, has something extra: a deep background in Jewish worship and Hebrew language, knowledge of both present and past liturgies, and training in leading and teaching a wide variety of Jewish musical forms. A cantor is clergy, qualified to officiate at all lifecycle events (weddings, funerals, namings) and to provide pastoral support.

VinAnd Sori you NEED to listen to so far away and seize the day by avenged sevenfold, you will cry

[@AeonAxisProductions]

Oh nevermind you did so far away

[@danoyse8233]

This is the nearest interpretation to Paul Simons analogy when he originally wrote it. David Draimans version brought this up to date and brought more urgency needed in human reaction. I cry every time I watch or listen to it. Loved your reaction.

[@carolanndriscol6316]

They both really GOT IT‼️🙏🏼♥️🌏🌺

[@DarianCaplinger]

I think this is one of my most favorite responses to a video I've watched. David's vocals didn't just speak the lyrics, kind of like how the original did... he emoted them. He made you feel each word and the way it built up to the final notes... he took a good song right to GOD level.

[@toddosgood9413]

You Both got it!! And the breakdown you both give, is the message....great job

Sori, you stole my heart when tears flow from your face! At first, i didn't like this cover but after listening to it multiple times I came around to it. Now, I wish I could share tears like you every time I hear it.

[@ConstantineIsslamow]

Beautiful reaction video. Sori, your gentle tear brought me to a tear also. Speechless at how beautiful that was. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@thorwulfx1]

One of the brilliant things about this song is the duality of the two main themes. Both light and sound are shown in two ways. There's the light of the neon god, the grand distraction, versus the natural light that actually reveals the truth. There's the silence that arises from the screaming of the gears of our ephemeral empires, against the true silence where introspection can arise. The abject social isolation, the dehumanization of the technological, is clearly stated here, and has only grown more poignant as we go further down the road in the direction of the neon god. Solid 10. The great songs echo down the years, because they talk about experiences that will always be part of being human.

[@phillipevans9414]

Patrick Tracy. Thank you for such an eloquent and accurate explanation.

[@paulwalsh2344]

@ Patrick Tracy "There's the light of the neon god, the grand distraction, versus the natural light that actually reveals the truth." I like how you said that. That's exactly how I felt about that line.

[@michaelvondrake7489]

And the DISTURBED versions video has instruments on an "ARK". And writing music script on old parchment with Ink pen. Could that be the concept that the Art of musicianship is becoming rare?

[@sulosky]

I find this song as a warning. Nuclear war was a real threat back in the 60s.

[@dalhousieDream]

So well said, Mr. Tracy. Very perceptive view.

[@Jason17300]

Why does nobody know Simon and Garfunkel? Every reaction to this song, nobody knows where it comes from.

[@M.D.S.B]

Jason I know right?!

[@john-bs8pt]

Jason I agree. I don't even care for their music it's not my taste in music but I know they are an iconic duo.

[@nimaside]

Yeah it's pretty weird. Odd lack of music vocabulary.

[@Cucchulainnn]

Might as well ask why I don't know the songs my parents listened to and why they didn't know the songs of their parents did. People have a bad tendency to dismiss or ignore what is already there. Unfortunately a lot of people have the attitude that anything that is not new is "old hat".

[@john-bs8pt]

Jerry D I'm the opposite. I've always had an interest in what music my parents like even if I don't care for it. To me learning old hat is knowing history.

[@CarlPan14]

Holy shit her description was just simply EPIC

[@fionabarr6064]

This song was written in the 70s. He was predicting how life world would be for us. We speak on our phones (not speaking ) nobody to listen ( no reaction) songs not being heard they’re on our phones. The neon god we made Technology the most important thing our lives. Here we are in 2022 !!! When Paul Simon heard this version he told David this was now his song

[@estoy1001]

"…we have people unable to touch other people, unable to love other people. This is a song about the inability to communicate." -Paul Simon I would have liked to hear this with Lzzy Hale in a harmony situation. He's worked with her in the past, and they sound amazing together. Also, the original conveyed the same message without being heavy-handed, BUT! Paul Simon himself actually liked the cover, so I'll default to the author's opinion on the matter.

[@HardKore5250]

S Toy From a atheist perspective or a religious perspective or neither?

[@Hellraiser988]

David Heller in general

[@estoy1001]

From a Paul Simon perspective - his quote.

[@projekt3749]

S Toy My take is that the original was a polite warning about the detached direction humanity seemed to be taking, whereas Disturbed version is angry that nobody heeded this 50 year old warning, hence the more heavy handed nature of it. That's just my interpretation, though.

[@estoy1001]

So in another 50 years it'll be remade by the descendants of A.C? :)

[@shawnmcinnes565]

If there are ever awards for reactions, you would have my vote. I could see the exact moment the song touched, no grabbed, your soul. Thank you for such a touching reaction!

[@thefloridamimi9278]

Paul Simon saw the band performing this song on Conan. (You should check it out). He loved it! He was so touched by David’s performance that he reached out to him to express his appreciation. I’m not sure if others have posted this, but David has vocal training in opera. As Suri said, his voice is phenomenal!

[@phoenix0153]

I can't believe it took me this long to find you guys! Your reactions were so pure and heartfelt, that I cried along with you, though, if I'm being honest, with a song this amazing, who couldn't? So thank you!, for sharing, and being the amazing people you are, and letting us experience such a powerful experience with you. On a huge side note, I thought you should know, if you watch your video at 4:32 (or just watch the original song or check the lyrics) that Disturbed snuck their band name and song title into the lyrics themselves as a small easter egg for people to catch! ".. and noone dared 'Disturbed the sound of silence' " :)

[@one2869]

It's 2020 and I'm just now seeing this reaction. First, I love both of your reactions and what each of you took from the song. That was incredible and I believe this song can mean so many different things to different people. When Paul Simon wrote this song he was actually in a dark bathroom. "Hello darkness my old friend " there was light coming from a streetlamp outside. He stated is was the best contrast of light and dark to write. He said the meaning of the song is about communication or lack there of. You both hit on that part. And you are absolutely right on the neon God was about technology replacing communication. Neon lights had already been out for 40 plus years when the song was written but it was still an incredible attention getter. The sign flashing out its warning about the words of the prophets was in reference to there being knowledge and information all around you and you need to know where to look but with technology you won't see it when it's right in front of you. The original was definitely a warning to us all that technology would lead to us not communicating or truly being able to love each other. And we need to not get wrapped up in the technology. And look where we ate today. People say Disturbeds version is anger because we didn't heed the warning.

[@thomaswest7746]

It very well could be like their saying see it's going on right now

I think S&G version is more sad and this one is just haunting. I get chills every time I hear this song. 🐧🐧

[@groundzeroken]

Peggy Penguin Yup, S&G version was sad- back then there seemed to be more time for reflection. The Disturbed version’s power is in its raw nature; the video’s monochromatic styling was spot on. Chills? I’ve had a few too...

[@cornishmaid5073]

groundzeroken, me too. As an old hippy now, the original was soft and gentle reflecting those times of calling for peace and unity. This version equally reflects these times we live in. Outstanding.

This is a cover of "Sounds of Silence" written and performed by Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkle in 1963. And I've hear that Paul Simon consider's David Draiman's cover of the song to be the best that has ever been done.

There was no texting when this song was written though. About 40 years too early. But the wheels were in motion then with advancing technology and entertainment ruling people's lives.

[@debracountry7654]

I can listen to this song over and over. I still cry. The song is about our lives being lost to the beginning of the media. Paul Simon had this dream back in the 60s. The neon light represents the introduction of television. The musicians were no longer able to Express their feelings without being censored. Us as a world must take a stand to be able to Express how we feel without the media interference.

If you don't weep listening to this song, you were listening without hearing.

[@drieuxkoeppel4157]

The original was written by Paul Simon in 1964, when Simon was 26. He said the words came to him when the lights were out. The song was one of the first huge hits by SIMON & GARFUNKEL. Art Garfunkel was his childhood friend. When he heard this cover, he called David Draiman (Disturbed lead singer) to compliment him on this version of a song considered by many to be one of the greatest songs of the 20th century. Draiman said in an interview he was “dumbfounded” that Simon called him!!

[@bloodreapers8471]

I agree i think this song is the best cover i have heard ever and i listen to alot of music genres

[@Ironclad6661]

Yes, what an honor to have the songs creator compliment you on your cover. I never thought a cover could be as impressive as the original and in many ways it's quite impressive that a heavy metal band would do their cover as a piano-based version compared to Simon & Garfunkel's acoustic guitar version. You normally don't associate hardcore rockers with piano-based music. David's voice was like listening to Zeus singing from Mt Olympus with vocal bolts of liquid lightning being cast down upon us from the heavens.
