I’m 75. I grew up listening to Simon & Garfunkel. I had never heard of Disturbed and certainly haven’t had any interest in heavy metal bands. This version has impacted me so strongly that it is impossible to describe. I have probably listened to this version well over a hundred times. I feel his voice and message move thru me. David Draiman is truly gifted and the entire group created magic. I love it.

[@lorrainetredgett9602]

Me too xx

[@johngault3315]

[@candusochs8473]

Same here same age. Just blew me away..his looks did not bother me either..usually does..the message is also magnified by his voice and the backup music..AWESOME..words fail me

[@marieball8441]

I saw a comment made to another reactor about this song that went something like, "Simon and Garfunkle's version was a gentle warning about what was to come, but Disturbed's version is rage that the warning was not heeded." I think it hit the nail on the head.

[@stefantaubert]

I can absolutely agree with that, Marie! I would like to say up front that when the original came out by S&G, it was generally not "my" music. I knew the song, but I didn't really like it. When I heard about Disturbed, however, it - to be honest - first gave me goose bumps and then also produced tears. In other words - THAT really touched my heart. And that's what music has to do for me in general. If music and singing do just that - then it's good music and good singing. What I would also like to add is that, as presented by Disturbed, the text makes sense to me. The entire work not only brings something to the ears, but simply feeling and showing this feeling to the outside world. This is something that I generally lack in our world today. Money, mammon ... and feeling, showing feelings and living by them - that's missing. Not for everyone - but unfortunately for more and more people.

[@johsheli]

I was a sophomore in high school when Simon and Garfunkel came out with this song. It was soft and tranquil and the words got lost in the melody. Davids's rendition hits you upside your head. It's a soul-shaking achingly beautiful rendition.

[@paulaclark7989]

Yes!

[@matthewheater36]

Funny thing is with David draiman it was either music or law his parents greatly disapproved of him getting into music can't imagine their faces when he turned out to be a big success

[@89801wink]

As a small child when the original was big, I have a place in my heart for it. But I believe this rendition brings the angst that the lyrics deserve.

[@kevsecker3182]

It’s the angst it deserves now. I like to think of it thus: The original : an observation on the world. The state of humanity. Unsure of itself. The Gregorian version : the prayer we would listen Disturbed : we didn’t listen and the message gets angrier.

[@toriless]

Which is why it needed to be done.

[@themusicgaragetmg2330]

This is the most amazing cover of a song I've ever seen... Takes your breathe away... leaves you speechless, reaches right to your Soul and grabs it by the collar and demands you WAKE UP! Amazing.

[@nobodyshome]

As my Mother would say... A voice on loan from God. no denying the perfection of Disturbeds interpretation.

[@annabeavers9590]

I think that everyone cries the first time that they hear this. David Draiman is a classically trained vocalist.

[@juniorjohnson9509]

No. Her was trained as a cantor, NOT "classically" trained.

[@JDReynolds2005]

The first time I heard this song, I had tears streaming down my face, already knowing the song and what the lyrics meant. Best way I've heard describing the difference between the two songs' power is that the Simon and Garfunkel song was a plea to the masses while the Disturbed version is the anger and anguish towards the people who ignored that plea.

[@robertlavorna2968]

beautifully said

Best cover ever. Paul Simon agrees & added it to his playlist.

I read an apartment that Paul Simon actually cried and said that David was meant to sing this song

[@Polyphemus89]

Johnny Cash covering Hurt might disagree, but those are the only two songs in the conversation imo. I read somewhere once, and agree, that S&G was a warning, this was a mourning.

[@caseycompton7141]

This, and Johnny Cash's Hurt. Trent Reznor said Hurt belonged to Johnny Cash.

[@Melly01]

This is an epic arrangement and performance! I am affected every single time I hear it, goosebumps EVERY time, sometimes tears, depending on where I am and how immersed I am in it. I'd love to see you react to the video. The imagery is absolutely stunning and supports their vision of this song. Reactors have done both, so don't be shy. There are some of us who stalk reactions on this song and are endlessly fascinated watching others discover this masterpiece. You internalize it, you at least need to watch the official video for yourself, even if you don't react to it here.

[@markmccrary3650]

Hold on to memories, nuff said.

Paul was the message. David is the warning. By far the most powerful rendition of this song. One of my favorite and gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

[@M-S_4321]

That is the best way I have heard this idea communicated. Paul was the message. David is the warning. We don't want to hear a future singer that will reimagined it as the lamentation.

Don't apologize for not being a voice coach...your reaction says more than any breakdown of the simple mechanics of what you just witnessed and how it spoke to your heart.

[@richardearls61]

Brother, if you only knew how many times this song has made me cry! That's how you know a composition is well done: it creates an emotional response rather than just being "sound"!

[@veteranhoffman6776]

[@wraith1117]

One of the coolest things about this was that Paul Simon after seeing this, called David, and told him that this was the most emotional rendition of this song. And yes that really happened. Now that is really saying something.

[@zodarian6705]

Not only that, but it is apparently the only Simon and Garfunkel cover that Paul Simon not only included on his social media but added it to his playlist.

[@boulevardiere1623]

When I watch a reaction video to a song I know and love, I don't really care about the "vocal analysis" or the technicalities. I mainly hope that the reactor will be as moved by the music as I am, so I can (on some level) say, "Did you SEE that? Incredible, right?!" and hear an answer back of, "YES!" I really enjoyed your reaction to this for exactly that reason. Keep it up. I look forward to checking out your other videos.

[@ddonlee]

Absolutely right. Thats why i prefer watching a laymans heartfelt reaction anytime more than a ' voice coach' reaction.

[@julielockhart1904]

Single best cover of any song by any band, ever. It’s complete and utter perfection. He had a vocal cord lesion during this performance and had his ENT Dr. on standby not knowing how it would hold up. He had cord surgery a couple days after this. His talent is unmeasured.

This is the absolute best cover of the song, and even Paul Simon think that this is the way, that it should had been performed from the start. And to count in, that David had a cold, performing this, he is absolute impressive. Pentatonix also made a cover of this song, and it is also beautiful performed, thou different, because acappella, and it leans hevelly on to Disturb's cover.

[@samssass]

I wish my Mom could've heard this version too. Maybe they did. The song was right on target when it came out in the 60ties. This version spot on nails it for these times, and the way we humans have evolved. People blab on and never say anything. In politics especially. Most people don't hear what anyone says, they just wait to talk again. This version blew up my heart, it stirred emotions I haven't felt in years. I cried buckets, and listened to it over and over. I simply HAD to. And watching others, like you, has let me know I am not alone in my reaction. Peace Man.

Hi Ian from the U.K. Disturbed “Sound of Silence” I’m bed bound 24/7 and will never walk again. This song, but how it’s sung by David, brings out so much emotion I carry and can’t tell others, close to me. It is THE best cover I’ve ever heard. But it should be listened when watching the official video. Then the words and his meanings become so clear, and editing on the video is superb❤ I have listened to this version maybe 500 times, I get the feeling the emotions, the loss of close ones, and the way I was paralysed!! It just makes me think and should let people close to me, including officials who argue over stuff they should know and as the song says! “Never Listen” sorry to go on, but in my 50’s yet I can say comfortably, this version brings tears to my eyes and it’s good to show your emotions!! The best ever. Bravo Disturbed! Ian, United Kingdom

David Draiman never uses auto tune ..the producers of Conan’s show tried but he gave dagger eyes to Conan so they stoped. The poor man was extremely sick with the ‘flu, a temp of 104 and a cyst on his vocal chords. He refused to cancel but he had to sit down to sing. I cry every single time I listen to this, no many times I hear it. He has the most powerful voice I have ever heard. I suggest you watch the studio version with all the visuals..it will blow you away!

[@normancuthbert3822]

I hear you brother, this song is so deep an powerful, Paul Simon was politely warning us about " man's disconnect with man " through the TV as such, Disturbed version is almost a shout at us to re- connect, we hardly communicate any more, TV, phones, computers, computer games, we all to busy🥺

[@bethanyp8847]

If you liked the live version you should see the visuals of their official video! Holy smokes, makes me tear up almost every time and goose bumps for sure!! Some other singers you can ‘feel’ every time they sing are Dimash Kudaibergen, he sings in many languages and many octaves but boy can you feel every word/note he’s singing! He’s out of this world!! And a female singer I’ve found recently is Faouzia, she emotes SO well and has an incredible range too. I really like her stripped versions because you can really hear her more than what production does with the song. Not just her range, but she is incredible! Enjoy discovering new artists and your reactions are great!

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

Best cover I've heard! David Draiman...amazing voice!! A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do and he makes it look so damn easy! He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before........just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent. Loved your reaction and your take on the performance Mr.I ........

[@ninajones1175]

I have only seen 1 opera singer recognize that David was extremely ill with the flu doing this. If you listen to the video of it you compared to this one, you can hear it but this one seems more raw and real. I just love his voice. This world with its texts, emails and various emojis keep us from connecting even emotionally. Your reaction is why years later I am still watching reactions to him. Simon himself said David did it better and is now as much his as it is their song. Can you imagine? The original artist gives double thumbs up to David Draimen.

[@johnsonting1606]

Great reaction. Another distribut song you should consider to react is “reason to fight” . Also there is another singer call Rag n Bone Man , he has some songs worth listening, “human”, “skin” , “alone” and “lay my body down” .

[@Templarofsteel88]

If he does a reaction to a reson to fight it needs to be a live one.

[@terryherrick9784]

I love your reaction to this song. I would love to hear your reaction to Hold on to Memories which they sing at every concert. The official live video shows how their fans react to this song which is absolutely amazing and so touching. Another great song they do is A Reason to Fight, the official live video is a must, also they do this song at every concert which is trying to prevent drug abuse, depression and suicide. They are actually saving lives.

Melancholy is always the word I use for this song, so it’s nice to hear someone else use it. What I love about this cover is that David and the arrangement forces you to take in the lyrics and emotions.

[@janicetribble461]

I grew up in that Era, in the 60's. The 1960's. It was a beautiful song then, as it is now. But there was a war going on then. And many of us cannot forget those years. This song helps us to remember those years and the turmoil of many struggles for the youth of those times. And the young men who became soldiers......and the young men who did not. And yes, there were many people protesting the war, at that time.

[@lkoeb1423]

I am certainly not a musician but just a child from the 70's when this song was always a classic which my mom listened to. I listened to it then and i listen to it now, with Disturbed making it even hard ass, now,. It elicited a message in 1963 and this message has been beautifully on carried on by them.

[@joycearmstrong3158]

I was going to school in New York city. Visited the village alot ,saw Paul on the streets frequently walking along Mc Doogle. Street. At night this was the way the streets looked especially in the fall,on rainy nights. Riding the subways and seeing the neon lights flash by.His song was quite descriptive of our experiences of the City at the time. Loneliness is part of that City because of its vastness the emptiness despite the thousands. It is now the same as it was then . A reason I left New York for wide open grandure of the western Colorado natures beauty.

[@RoarTheRapper]

Totally agree with you about how music and poetry ripples through time. I wouldn't really listen to the original SoS again, but I listened to it a lot as a kid cause my mom liked their music too. I learned that day that even if your instrumentation is "basic", what you SAY is the most important. And I feel like songs like this are an "enhancement" of the original.

[@karynoleary3580]

You being self conscious about not saying enough is truly unfounded as your emotions conveyed more than words could. Beautiful reaction!

i've said it before in other react vids, Paul Simon's version was like a call to action.. where David's version is more like "rage" that the call wasn't heeded.. few have reflected this, but you're in the few: kudos and thumbs up..

This song leaves a lot of people speechless. No worries! Great reaction

[@ritasharp5676]

His voice is perfection, I listen to this every day!

[@nessienessie8798]

Paul Simon said this is the best version of this song ever. He said his version was a warning for what was to come but Disturbed’s version is a reaction to the world for not listening to that warning.

David Draiman trained to be a cantor, coming from a long line of cantors. He wasn't feeling well but did the show anyway. Paul Simon was 23 when he wrote this song as a warning to society. David's version is what has happened as we didn't heed the word. Paul Simon said that this is his favourite version of this iconic song.

"Mr Reactor, maybe you should..." LOL You are likeable, and your honest heart-felt reaction was of value to ME. Thanks for inviting me over.

Disturbed is Metal. I have saw them 6 times in concert. Even Paul Simon loved what they did with this song.

I’ve watched a lot of reactions to this performance and yours is the best. It was so moving because it’s obvious how much the song moved you. ♥️

[@julieallen4486]

Stunning and beautiful...you couldn’t have picked two better words 😊

[@wyterook00]

It got me too bro! Goosebumps, chills...choked up. This is a Masterpiece!

[@ddonlee]

Thanks for your reaction. I felt so moved by the song. David drainman made his version so hauntingly beautiful! I actually shed a tear. So captivated by the whole set up and ensemble.

[@pattisimmons67]

I really appreciated your true reaction. I watch a lot of reaction videos and I have to say, the folks that FEEL the song are my favorite. Why? Because even after hearing this well over 300 times I still cry. A little over 3 years ago I wrote a comment that I still believe in today. It said: When Simon and Garfunkle recorded this it was like a whispered warning. When Disturbed recorded it, it was the rage of the warning not being heeded. The words were prophetic when it was written. They are now the words of stark reality. We now bow to the Gods of electronics and the silence is deafening.

wow..i cant add to that as tears roll down my cheeks, my emotion left from this is devastating....

[@roniboyd613]

Your reaction came up in my feed again, so I had to watch you again! Just love your reaction! Thank you💖

[@jonhoward2236]

Just subscribed! Love how you feel the music and don’t take it apart. Keep it up brother!!!

[@rosemariediamond7855]

I just found your channel. I like the mood and atmosphere of your video. Your voice is comforting not erratic like others. Ty.

[@lottiemayfrank]

This song and your review both got me right in the feels. When I first heard this I’m not ashamed to say I had tears rolling down my face, it gave me goose pimples. I can’t help feeling that Disturbed’s version is the way this song was always meant to sound, with all the emotion and depth of Draiman’s incredible voice.

[@dotwyness4110]

Absolutely brilliant, I have to listen to it at least once a day, love your reactions x

[@MusikIsUniversal]

One of the most genuine and intimate reactions I've seen. Don't worry about words. Music is made to move us, and this cover powerfully accomplishes this. Your facial reaction says all that needs to be said.

[@jameseperry]

been awhile since this video has been posted but, great job. Loved the video, loved the pure & true reactions. excellent job.

[@priscillachapman9145]

Great reaction. You gave it the emotion and the appreciation this song deserves. You get it. Thank you.

[@nessienessie8798]

This was one of my dad’s favourite songs ever. He died three years ago and I’m so sad that he never got to see this. It’s an epic masterpiece ❤
