Back in the 1960's Art Garfunkel of Simon and Garfunkel sang this song with the voice of an angel telling a story of what people were doing to each other. Five decades later David Draiman sang this song with the voice of an avenging angel, with fire in his eyes and blazing sword held high, telling the story of what people had done to each other. Same song, same lyrics but a completely different meaning by two amazing artists. Love your reviews.

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Thank you 😊💜

[@alisdair13]

Best description of the two amazing artists and their renditions.

[@chadbennett7873]

I've read many comments about the differences in the original version vs. this one, and yours is beautiful. The Avenging Angel aspect is spot on and as I writer, I truly appreciate your view. Thank you for expressing yourself so eloquently.

[@camptube7621]

It was a warning. David now tells us it’s here.

[@dillonsronce2583]

The original version is always said to have been a warning, and this version is said to be an angry version to people who didn't listen to what the song meant.

[@timothywilliams2252]

At pushing 54, I had grown up in the 70's listening to a lot of Simon & Garfunkel, and when Disturbed did this cover, it brought me to tears!

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

💜💜

[@treetopjones737]

I'm 60, prefer the original.

[@stevenrollings337]

This is the best live performance i have ever heard! I've got goosebumps and tears in my eyes..

[@lordbreetai]

Especially impressive since he went on even being in the middle of a bad flu

[@kilroy205]

the official video is better

[@Always-the-Underdog]

Is it entirely live, though? The timpani player looks suspect. He is producing 3-4 different pitches from only two kettle drums without using a pedal to change the pitch. There is a lack of consistency between the kettle drum he strikes and the resulting pitch.

[@allendesalme197]

This is one of the best songs ever written. It was first done and written by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel after the assassination of John Kennedy.

[@deco9863]

One of the top live musical performances of all time.

[@mspattik1]

I’m old enough to have listened many times to the original, which to me was a warning……this version makes me cry every time I listen, David’s voice has so much emotion in it, and it’s anger at us not listening to the warning of the original. I am forever a huge Disturbed fan !!

[@berniesallee5324]

David is a classically trained vocalist as well as a trained Cantor in the Jewish faith when he was a young boy.

[@chrissyg3722]

Simon and Garfunkel wrote the song around the time of President Kennedy's assassination and during the Vietnam War. It was a warning to people about not communicating and no one listened. It could have easily been written today with the way things are. I was about 5yrs then so a bit too young to understand what it was about. David Draimans version of it makes you feel the words. I'm a Grandmother of 6 and it's on my bucket list to see Disturbed. Don't think that will happen though. 😁 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@scottstuerke4560]

I’m 61,and a huge Disturbed fan. The official music video is just so great. Thanks for sharing!

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

You’re welcome 🥰

[@scottstuerke4560]

Sweet

[@bigglesace1626]

I still get emotional everytime hear this cover, absolutely epic, a masterpiece. It's all the more powerful when you compare it to the original. As many have said, the S&G song was like a warning - this cover is saying, we didn't listen, wake up, ffs!

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

💜

[@mondeoman1954]

I love the original Simon and Garfunkel, but this transports me to a different place. This version is very dystopian and powerful, someone looking back to a better time.

[@timbrom]

So envious of people who are hearing this for the first time. Great reaction.

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Aww! 💜💜

[@jamescowsert2128]

Trust me,you WILL get those goose bumps every time you hear that!!!!

[@jeffstevens4262]

I heard that in a later interview, David admitted to be so emotional after this particular live performance, he burst into tears behind the scenes afterwards. One thing I noticed about his incredible vocals, is that despite reaching those high notes, he never seems to strain his voice. He has an incredible vocal range.

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Awww, that’s sad! Yeah! The more I listen to this I get more emotional. I’ve gotten more of an attachment now and with the comments adding more meaning to the video. Thank you for commenting 💜💜

[@valkeery1216]

i heard that he was really sick that day never heard that he was emotional after his percormance

[@Albatross-365]

It seems that there was some auto-tuning on this, probably because he was sick. The original video is a much better

[@wvwIceMan13wvw]

@@Albatross-365 I read the auto tune is from it being broadcast. Rumor is he wasn’t happy that it ended up being there but there wasn’t anything anyone could do. He had classical training early on in his career which is how hes managed longevity and control over his range. This is possible one of my favorite covers of any song ever

[@rp7326]

If you've never heard the original, you can't appreciate this version as much.

[@wolfie35p]

To really appreciate how good this song actually is, you have to listen to the original by Simon & Garfunkel first, then listen to this version straight after it.

[@halalbach1855]

There really is no comparison. David Draiman hit this one around world!

[@dmj4966]

This is supposedly the only cover of one of his songs that Paul Simon posted a link to on his own website...perhaps the best original version is Simon and Garfunkel live in Central Park...S and G warned us, David says "see, we told u so..."

[@larryc3860]

Thanks to Simon and Garfunkel for writing and recording this classic nearly 50 years ago......

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

💜💜

[@senseijoe-xk7jn]

garfunkel wrote it as a warning, he said, disturbed version was a song for the warning unheralded

[@larryc3860]

@@senseijoe-xk7jn I agree with your interpretation of the two versions.....sigh.....it's now 2023 and it seems "silence" ( no critical thinking of the world's condition ) still pervades our society.....

[@jeffwellman8347]

I am enjoying your reactions. David is an excellent singer and I think he hits the emotional aspects of this song because of his training as a chazzan (a Jewish cantor). There is a spirituality to this song. FYI Jinjer and Disturbed are going to be touring the US together this summer. That is going to be an amazing concert. (Subbed)

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Whoa really? There’s some really cool facts here! Thank you for commenting! Hope life is treating you well 💜

Great reaction to a great song the original Is by Simon and Garfunkel this is a great cover love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Thank you 😀

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

David Draiman...amazing vocals! The man can sing... man, he can even put vibrato on distortion! ....which is incredibly difficult to do. Only know a few that can do that... and they don't do it as well or as frequently. Well done DD! Liked your reaction MMM.

[@halalbach1855]

I want a time machine to be able to go back and be in that audience and to hear that absolutely magnificent performance, live. I have listened to this performance at least a thousand times and still tear up a get goosebumps all over, EVERY TIME!!!!

[@ingobordewick6480]

The original is by Simon & Garfunkel from the 60s.

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Aaah thank you! I kinda recognised it, ish! Still great nonetheless 😀💜

[@remiklovic]

If you haven't heard it check out Disturbed: Hold onto Memories. It is also a departure from their normal sound. It has helped me enormously since the passing of my wife of 28 years last year. If I need a good cry, I listen to that song, it is bitter sweet for me.

[@gazlator]

Magnificent performance from David. Of course, the "emotion and passion" you noticed here was done (and can be at least tried by any would-be singer for that matter) by simply holding and sustaining the notes of the song, not by trilling and running on them. That way, the really soulful lament of the words stands out, and you remember them.

[@pondboy3682]

He was actually a bit sick during this performance. There's also an official video worth a watch for the Disturbed cover of this Simon & Garfunkel classic. Word is that Paul Simon, the original artist, called in, very moved.

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Aaah, aww love him! 💜 Thank you again 😀💜

[@ninja_tony]

You’ve got to check out Disturbed’s cover of Land of Confusion as well, it’s so good! (As is the original Genesis version, you can’t go wrong either way!)

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Aww! I’m very familiar with land of confusion! So it wouldn’t be a reaction song unfortunately, it’s great though! Thank you for commenting 🥰

That was a wow performance - totally brilliant.

[@marksaffer5503]

Even though the lead singer is sick, this may be the best version of this song.

[@cmclimbs]

Love this version of Sound of Silence. I've seen a couple of your PTX reactions as well, and they also covered it, so that may be a good one for you to listen to as well for comparison. As others have mentioned, the difference in tone from the original to this cover and then even to the PTX cover gives each a very different feel. Keep up the great work!

[@scottcarson4570]

Im 55..this version, of this song, gets me everytime.

[@davejoe2592]

I just love watching people hear incredible songs for the first time. Just as you saw things in his expression, I saw it in yours and it reminded me of the first time I heard it. I'd like to make a suggestion of a song as well if I may. Break In by Halestorm ft. Amy Lee. The one where it is the 2 of them in studio. Enjoy.

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Aww! That’s great! Thank you for commenting! Ooo sounds like right up my street, I like evanescence too/Amy Lee🙂

You handle yourself well in your reactions and convey your personality and sincerity. I wish you success in this endeavor. I'll put in a vote for my favorite rock band, Band-Maid.

[@millennialmeetsmusic]

Thank you so much for your comment, honestly means a lot! Hope life is treating you well 💜

[@steveb1972]

This has become a standard for the band, always expected at their live gigs! David and his brother were trained Jewish cantors. He turned to metal and his brother is an opera singer. Paul Simon said he wrote this after a dream and the meaning is still argued about. The video I feel talks of the rediscovery of lost music. One island find the sheet music, the other find the instruments and travel to them... Paul Simon saw THIS very performance on Conan and loved it. Poor David was really poorly with a bad cold when he sung it on Conan, so I urge you to watch the official video to hear David in top form and the visuals really add to the music. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJyag4mtaK5rm8k Check these interviews with David... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKWxl6qlgKljjqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/baauiXuui550i8U David being interviewed and performing on stage The Vengeful One and Sound of Silence... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKqZhYamq5t1gtU The official video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qnmGCdbNllopY The original Simon and Garfunkel version... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHKooaN8irx_nMU Fascinating that Pentatonix chose to cover Disturbed’s version rather than the original... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZW5m4mqpddoa68 One of Disturbed’s classic tunes!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmqvhYdmrdyXnNk
