First Time Hearing ''Disturbed'' - The Sound Of Silence REACTION
#Reaction conducted by Kevin & Dave at KeV & DaVe REACTIONS

[@paulhogan9433]

I am constantly amazed that people that do this for a living have no idea who wrote this originally. One of the most iconic songs of all time...

[@johntrevors1029]

LMAO. I was thinking the same thing.

[@alysiareid6659]

No research.

It would be prudent me thinks, for a lot of reactors just to do a little basic research before embarking on something like this. The better informed they are, the more enjoyable they will find it

[@christineknox7094]

Notice the arch of musicians crossing the river to the land where people are holding sheet music, they need each other to fill the silence with the universal language of music.

[@holdon4992]

Good grief! All you young’ens make me feel ancient. Yes, it’s a cover, yes, you probably heard the first line used in a zillion memes, yes the song is over half a century old and still just as relevant today as it was then. A classic. S&G got lucky with how this song became symbolic folk song of the ‘60’s and beyond cumulating with becoming an integral part of the soundtrack to “Mrs. Robinson”. Both versions are excellent but David’s incredible voice and the band’s arrangement of this version is outstanding. It’s is one of the best, if not THE best, of a cover ever made. Even with your interruptions you still got chills from hearing him sing. This cover hits so many people in so many ways it’s a new classic all over again. Glad you enjoyed. Now go listen to it, headphones on, no stopping.

[@johnniewishbone]

I've watched tons of reactions to this version of the Simon and Garfunkel classic and I cant believe just how many people don't know this song. How is it even possible that one of the most iconic songs ever written can be such a mystery to so many.

[@nataliesmythe7643]

Best way to listen to this song is to let it play then comment.

[@Jedi4Life-u5y]

Check out their performance of this song on Conan. Paul Simon reached out to the group shortly thereafter to congratulate them and told them that it was the best cover of any of his songs. He also posted it to his social media. Conan later celebrated the performance as the first video from his show to hit 100 million views. Complete with an orchestra, David Draiman delivered a performance for the ages all while apparently being ill that day. Keep up the great work boys!

[@Jedi4Life-u5y]

Ditto about checking out the live version on Conan. Despite being sick that night, David Draiman still gave a performance for the ages, complete with an orchestra. Their performance put them on Paul Simon's radar. He reached out to the group after the performance and congratulated them on the delivering the best cover of one of his songs and posted a link to the performance on his social media. Conan even celebrated the performance as the first video from his show to get 100 million views.

[@Davesmusicreactions]

Plenty of requests for the live from Conan so would seem rude not to :) -Dave

[@jamesbondbond8388]

People talking without speaking , people hearing without listenig !!

[@ivydickson7596]

Exactly what these two dudes were doing.

[@bazkeen]

Simon & Garfunkel's original in 1964 was the warning. This is the rage of not heeding the warning. It's about not communicating with one another. Possible the best cover ever done. Disturbed do a good live version on Conan O'Brien. One of the best versions I've heard is with Disturbed and Myles Kennedy. Myles is Art Garfunkel to David Draiman's Paul Simon "Disturbed - The Sound of Silence [Live in Houston w/ Myles Kennedy]" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmSlqmd6j96HhK8 The boat is bringing the instruments to the people on the shore with sheet music. Disturbed are normally a very metal band. Everyone was taken back when they put this out. Check how many views on the official video. Just mind blowing. Last time I looked it was over 500 million view

[@blackguardharper7005]

David wasn't happy with the Conan performance, the network added too many vocal effects that he did not want to do, but he gave in because he was sick during the performance.

[@bazkeen]

@@blackguardharper7005 Yep heard about that problem, that's why I sort of lean towards the Myles Kennedy/Disturbed live version at Houston. Has the concert feel for me

[@rangstng1]

I would like to see a cover of any song done better than this.

[@carolynsanders2972]

I have to thank the Band DISTURBED & their management for Dedicating this song to our son Michael who was killed by a Drunk Driver on the venue he was killed. Every word in this song was the path our son had to take that deadly night. The first time I heard it my heart dropped. I reached out to them & they honored our son. God bless them. 🙏🙏🙏 Our son had 3 little girls at the time. Their ages were 8, 5 & the baby just turned a year old. He was attending a Jason Aldean concert that night when he was struck & killed. This dedication is on KZbin. His daughters cherish this. 💙🙏💙

[@Sassy_Kat]

I would like to 1st say, Thank you, for sharing your story about your loss of your son. So sorry for your loss. Prayers and hugs to you. As a longtime Disturbed fan, I think you and your granddaughters would enjoy their songs, The Light and Hold on to Memories. 🙏🏻🕊

David Draiman .....BEST vocalist there is!! Controlled and just awesome talent! The smoothness if wanted....the rasp WITH vibrato if wanted....pure if wanted and unbelievable range!

[@jennhurl]

Bless your hearts.... You might have understood it had you not talked over it the whole time trying to figure out where you heard it. You missed the lyrics. 😥 Simon & Garfunkel wrote it as a warning regarding technology ruining communication. Paul Simon once said he wished he had sang it this way.

[@steveakhurst7845]

Spot on Jennifer !!

[@mariel4085]

Exactly Jennifer, some people on YT think they are so important they love to hear their voices more than anything lol

[@chriscummings6997]

Good reaction, guys. He has borrowed that voice from God. Try the live version (on the Conan show) to hear just how good he REALLY is!!

[@stevehorn4680]

You two are cool. The song was rather popular in the Simon and Garfunkel era in the 60's. It was good in its time. Disturbed is much better to me. Great job guys.

[@vickielewis2336]

I really enjoyed this reaction! You guys are great! Discovered you because I am a Home Fry(thank you for those!) I will add that as an American, I am absolutely positive that there are many famous and popular British songs that I don’t know!! Not to mention it was famous before you were born! While so many in the comments couldn’t believe you didn’t know the song, I couldn’t believe how rude people are! Thank you for a wonderful reaction!!🤗❤️

[@sandyleewhite]

Your facial reactions say it all !!! This is an amazing cover of a brilliant song, 1st done by Simon & Garfunkel warning us, if we don't change our ways we are headed for destruction, and Disturbs version is angry, because we didn’t listen to the warnings... 😌 I always feel this song is like an amazing rollercoaster ride, as you are heading to the top, then almost crashing to the bottom.....You guys are really fun to watch!!!

[@junco1312]

I've learned that David Draiman and Disturbed address depression, addiction and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the⁶ most popular, loved bands of our time!❤😊

Simon and Garfunkel, 1960s more of a folk song. This version does more credit to the darkness of the lyrics. Amazing cover

[@glendacrosbywilkins4246]

David is a Jewish Cantor .... And he sings this song from his soul......A very Powerful Message from God to all of us... The words of the Prophets are Written....His Anger when they bowed to neon gods.... BEAUTIL SONG>>>>>

[@jeffstevens4262]

His name is David Draiman.

[@rolandratz1]

Guys, you are the first to realize that the beginning means "silence". So- I immediately understood that the soundlessness at the beginning of the video is just that, "The Sound of Silence". Is that so hard to understand? Most listeners think there is something broken in their headphones or sound boxes!? But the silence reflects just this impossibility to get along without music or communication. The original of S+G is a lukewarm air compared to this version: David sings relatively quietly and telling, increases with the text in the volume and urgency and is angry towards the end, because of the ignorance of the people. Great performance and absolutely convincing strength of the text and the accompanying vocal power.

[@danalynch8889]

His voice was classically trained.

[@blackguardharper7005]

Trained as a Cantor, not exactly classical in the normal sense.

[@robwheelut]

David's Voice Slays All Others

[@mpainter22]

I think Floor Jansen would give him a run for his money

[@discussdebate]

This is a powerful cover of a song written in 1965 (Paul Simon; Simon & Garfunkel)!! "Disturbed" has never done a song like this before as they are a Hard Rock/Metal group!! This is truly my favorite song recorded in the past 5 years!! Wondrous and remarkable this is so far removed from Disturbed's typical music that (EVERYONE?) is taken aback and or blown away!! Not until this was released (12/2015) did anyone feel these lyrics so intensely!! This is so much more dominant and dynamic than the 1965 original; not necessarily better!! *This song SHOULD be listened to by anyone who likes music; all genre listeners should experience this song!! IMO, 2 more magical songs, check out Heart paying tribute to Led Zeppelin (2012) in front of the boyz!! Beautiful Powerful Incredible Version!! = kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpaVl32cnsmXrpY and then listen to Johnny Cash remake a Nine Inch Nail song (Electronic Grunge) and own it!! = kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnKrdJmQibd6n6s *if you feel like seeing/hearing something original and extraordinary check this out... I'm not sure this could be improved upon = kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGbRg4xqpsZkeZY .

[@junco1312]

This song has so many different meanings... When schools, especially public schools from kindergarten through high school run out of funding the first programs they cut ✂️ are the art's, music, theater etc. Also, ISOLATION, DIVISION, LONELINESS, NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS OR EXPRESSING OURSELVES AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, I could go on and on. 😢

[@duncanmccann2715]

It's a great song. You should listen to the words sometime.

[@user-yuri665]

They already know the original so they probably already know the words. They did recognize the song from the lyrics

[@steveakhurst7845]

@@corinageorge9463 Lol great comment !!

[@ragnar97]

@@user-yuri665 how is that an argument? Take "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, if you show a friend the version by Johnny Cash to someone and they talk all the way through would you just think "well, they've listened to the song" or, would you say "shut the fuck up and listen, I know you know the lyrics it's a different interpretation".

[@muchograssyass1]

This is a cover of the Simon & Garfunkel's original from the 60's. As I saw someone else say they sang the song giving a warning, Disturbed sang it showing their anger for ignoring the warning.

[@lorries978]

This song was written in 1964 by Simon & Garfunkle, it's was an anti-war song. David Draiman trained in the US and Israel for over 20 years to be a cantor, like his father and world-famous grandfather.

[@wiklow22]

CONAN LIVE!!! It's even better than the official video!!! The live version got the thumbs up from the original writer/performer ( Paul Simon.) It was mentioned that David Draiman was classically trained. Well... kinda. He was born in Brooklyn, NY to an orthodox Jewish family. His first language(s) were Hebrew and Yiddish. He comes from a long line of Orthodox Cantors in the Synagogue. Disappointing his family, he went into rock. Catch an interview or two. Super humble and funny. Did you notice that this video has nearly 650 Million views!

Be sure to watch their live performance on Conan. NOTE: that David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance and I heard he was not pleased with his performance, being the perfectionist that he is I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole was amazing and his performance was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL!

[@Wahots79]

I've been running through reactions of this for quite a while now and just came to yours...a bit late, but...eh. I would advise that you listen to the original by Simon & Garfunkel. I heard it growing up, thanks to my parents. I heard the words, but never listened to the lyrics, never really paid attention to them because (in my opinion) they did not do this song justice. They were too soft, too gentle. They meant it as a warning, but it felt...hopeless to me when they sang it back when. This song was made for David. He gave it the anger and power it'd been lacking. I finally LISTENED to the lyrics. (as the song says - people hearing without listening). The lyrics are vitally important to this song.

[@sophia4915]

Another version of this song that you would enjoy would be when Pentatonix covered it. It gives a different vibe, but just as inspiring as this rendition. Pentatonix is all acapella, so no instruments, just their voices.

We plan on recording a reaction to it soon :) -Dave
