FIRST REACTION TO DISTURBED “Sound of Silence”

[@monicabyas8663]

When you stood up, my heart lept for joy. You got it! ❤️

[@amyl.converse9600]

The same!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I've seen people 3x his age not get it!! This young man was PRESENT.

[@michaelgage9134]

The power in his voice ~!!!!!!

[@susanrhodes8059]

A gut punch song! It hits your heart and soul!

[@Kelli.B.]

I love to watch people reacting to this song. It is an astounding rendition that I simply cannot get used to seeing people being absolutely blown away by this performance. I've only seen one channel that wasn't absolutely blown away. I got the feeling they didn't fully grasp the meaning and feeling behind the lyrics. I enjoyed watching you enjoying it.

[@kevinbirthisel6260]

One of the best covers or that song.

[@ronmulla325]

Young man, welcome to this song. I have watched more reactions to this song than I can count……and my belief is you got it. Thank you

[@Voodali]

WELL said!!!! 👏🏻

[@amyl.converse9600]

[@chrisdemeritt1597]

I have now watched well over 100 reaction videos to this song. I live for that moment where the reviewer goes from the need to "Explain" things or other chatty comments to the moment of realization they have nothing to say, and instead need to just experience it in stunned silence. It is like I'm experiencing the song for the first time again.

[@jerry1349]

The same.

David Draiman, the lead singer of Disturbed, is classically trained as a singer. This song is actually a cover of the classic Simon & Garfunkel hit from 1964. S&G are an AMAZING duo- their harmonies are unmatched. Yes, there is a live version- everyone will tell you to react to the Conan O’Brian tv show version. Personally, I would highly recommend the concert version- Live in Houston, where he brings another singer on the stage to sing- Myles Kennedy- an awesome singer in his own right. Together, they recreate the harmony of the original sing by the duo of Simon & Garfunkel. Or check out more Disturbed- a heavy metal band. I would recommend Down With the Sickness… ❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼😁

David is a trained Jewish Cantor.

[@gid4015]

Kinda makes you wonder why he uses pitch correction all over this lame cover.

[@suemoore6445]

Never uses pitch correction. He was really pissed when he found out after he was on Conan O’Brien singing this when he was really sick the O’Brien’s producer always use autotune pitch correction! Paul Simon, who wrote this, posted it on his social media and let Disturbed know that they now owned the song.

[@gid4015]

@@suemoore6445 The studio version is obviously pitch corrected. I'm astonished anyone wouldn't hear this immediately. Wings of Pegasus channel does an analysis on the studio version and the Conan version if you doubt this. Both have the vocal tweaked to pitch. He is a faker, just like so many others. If Paul Simon really said that, he must be losing his mind. Draiman sounds like a goose farting in the fog.

[@stvechalice6890]

​@@gid4015 no david hates pich controle he is one of the very few singers that can sing without it do your reserch properly befor you try to down a trure singer pro singers and coaches have gone deep in to this song and ouch for you no auto tune

[@tracyanne1548]

The live version is AMAZING 😊

[@sheilabailey4005]

I became a Disturbed fan because of this song!

[@athenasbody1544]

His performance on the Connan O"brian show is epic. AND he had a bad head cold during that performance.

[@DylanTheCDAndVinylCollector]

Amazing cover! Disturbed is awesome!

[@kathleenhayes9320]

He did an amazing job with this song. I remember when it came out in the 60's. Simon and Garfunkel sang this then. Loved it then but this singer really takes thus song to a new level. I get chills when I hear this version. Thanks

[@moragosullivan2879]

I’m 76 and love your reaction!!! This song is the best ever. X

[@jerry1349]

It hits everytime.

[@rebeccacampitelli9233]

It's amazing!! This song / performance shows us that we CAN come together regardless of who we are or where we're from, what kind mind of music we like, etc. I've watched hundreds of these reaction videos from around the world, and i have not seen one negative comment. Love that all people, even with all our differences, are still alike😊 we all have hearts, emotions, and feelings, and we just know when it feels right even if it's not what we are used to. I'm not a heavy metal kind of person, but i get chills every time i hear David sing his version. God bless us all - let's communicate better.

[@uksuef7218]

For context when paul simon originally wrote this song the world was in the middle of the cold war and half the world was seperated from the other half behind the iron and the bamboo curtain , in 1962 the cuban missile crisis happened and the world has never been so close to all out nuclear war. You could go to prison in the soviet block for listening to a Beatles song . the song is about the danger an misery of people not communicating with each other. Paul simon is a first rate composer and lyric writer and he and Art Garfunkle recorded music so beautiful and powerful , the harmonies are legendary . I love disturbed's version of this and this music video is genius but you should definitely check out the original version and also try Bridge over troubled water and Scarborough fair (canticle) just for a start by simon and garfunkle.

[@natashab3412]

Thank you !

[@MineCraftJunky28]

He does a live version on conan o'brien, but I'm really liked that you chose to watch the official music video.. it adds so much more them the live version.

[@Beth_OMette]

"FOOLS!" said I "You do not know!" is where most folks break...

[@suebee5225]

I always loved his voice!

[@markbronx172]

live on Conan Obrien show

[@lindasalaki9404]

Fantastic choice of music 🎶🎶🎶 Justice 🔥🔥 to a beautiful song. 🔥🔥🔥

[@rabbyte3824]

You should really listen to Graceland or Boy In The Bubble by Paul Simon Or if you want to AB a few songs and covers; Fiddle And The Drum - By Joni Mitchell then covered by A Perfect Circle (Tool spinoff) Die Die My Darling - By The Misfits (Danzig era) covered by Metallica The Beautiful People - By Annie Lenox and covered by Marilyn Manson Hurt - By Nine Inch Nails and covered by Johnny Cash Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylon covered by Rolling Stones (in all fairness both the Stones and Dylon cover a lot of other artists music) The list can go on for a while

[@pegajense]

I loved this version better than the original. Another great vocal is Journey Mother Father live in Houston the vocal acrobatics are incredible ❤

[@jamesbondbond8388]

Great cover !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rebelbabeconner9064]

Live on CONAN

[@sonyachirrey2727]

I love this cover as well

[@tyrantrex734]

David Draiman built different. Plain and simple.

[@Voodali]

Watch him live on Conan O’Brian. Omg!!! Love David!!!

[@melanieheathbeasley133]

Love it when you felt compelled to stand up

[@margaretwals5997]

Didn't think I would like it but I did. It's original done by Simon & Garfunkel

[@robertcampopiano6001]

The original was a gentle warning. This is the admonition for not listening.

[@John-fk3rv]

💯

[@boqndimitrov8693]

a modern classic.how many covers can we say the same about?

[@treeoflife6386]

Disturbed live on Conan O’Brien show

[@WendyGreek]

This version is the way I thought this song should be sung.

[@chrisdemeritt1597]

The live version is considered by many to be better than the studio.

[@xonnadarkangel]

[@Bethzie39]

[@bethbrady2903]

[@suefantastic4584]

This on Conan is imo even better... dont miss out on that!!

[@tracyanne1548]

I like your face!

Dan Vasc - Amazing grace please?

[@direlyon]

Please listen original song by Simon and Garfunkel, then you will forget this one. original song is a masterpiece full of love and music sounds so good.

[@SharilynBratton]

I respectfully disagree, I am 62 and very familiar with the original by Simon and Garfunkel as I grew up with it; for me this cover is so much more powerful and gritty and meaningful for how the world is now. I realize crazy things were going on in S and G’s era as well but their softer, folk song approach lacks the gravitas of this cover. But I certainly can’t fault them for their gorgeous harmonies, I have to give them that. My fave songs by them are Bridge over Troubled Water, Scarborough Fair, and America.

[@direlyon]

@@SharilynBratton you are the first person that think so. And I respect your point of view.

[@monctonguitarrepair8093]

Well, regardless....Even Paul F'ing Simon said this version is so good that this song now belongs to them! IF anyone has the right to have an opinion, it is him. Yours is irrelevant. Sorry.

[@brendabishop-d4r]

you will never forget this version, Beautiful

[@direlyon]

@@monctonguitarrepair8093 thanks for considering I can not have a point of view...love judges like you...thanks for the lesson and being such a caring person

[@Never2old2boogie]

Appreciate you and your reactions!! This is an epic video. Some say haunting compared to the original by Simon and garfunkel. The represents the lack of communication is interesting to read the backstory. Here is a live version that people think is amazing that is live on Conan kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJyag4mtaK5rm8ksi=p3HRQiImqmjHJUd7
