His VOICE!! Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence (Official Music Video) | Reaction

[@bethepperson5363]

I am 63 grew up with Simon and Garfinkle's original......and this is the ONLY remake that makes me feel that the song will go on forever........

[@theElemDragon]

The one thing I will always say about it is that the original doesn't have the greatest tone for the lyrics. It sounds a little too upbeat and almost cheery compared to how David Draiman performs it, which has a darker, punchier tone.

[@bethepperson5363]

@@theElemDragon back when it first came out was a much different time, the ESTABLISHMENT wouldn't have allowed it being dark. Today Disturbed has brought out what was truly meant. I will always love both versions.

[@sst3d]

Agreed…I’m 68

[@AnonymousG3R]

And for our generation this songs means s-thing different to all the younger generations. They only hear the voice but didn´t understand the powerful words which stands behind this song.

[@robertcampopiano6001]

I’m 64 and I can remember hearing it back then. The cinematography in this video is absolutely gorgeous. It combines a perfect use of the Zone Technique and the lighting commonly used in film noir. When the singer is looking straight into the camera, he looks right through you. I don’t have the words to describe how everything comes together in this video. Genius seems to be a gross understatement.

[@dennisboulais7905]

The best cover ever done.

[@mikebenfloh]

Absolutely

[@robertcampopiano6001]

David Draiman’s singing is incredible. The cinematography is off the charts.

[@larryfisher5796]

I'm 80 years old and even at my age this still gets me.

[@Springy49]

Geht mir genauso!!!

[@GeirGunnarss]

The best description of the differences between the original version and this version is that the original was a warning to humanity and this version is anger because the warning was not heeded.

[@robertcampopiano6001]

Exactly.

[@thorveim1174]

Yup. In this one, silence won already, and there is but one voice daring to break it

[@juantwotree5710]

Original was a suggestion. This one is a warning.

[@ronoswald4795]

Best remake of a song that ever was made very good job fellows and this version is the on version my wife and I listen to now 🎉 🎉 🎉

[@stevegibson1147]

And the Pentatonix version is showing hope that we can still do something about it.

[@arthurslaughter4122]

The original was suitable for it's day. This version is for today. Superb cover.

[@MrsRealistic]

Very true!

[@livingexample5322]

Absolutely! I have to admit I had never heard of Disturbed until a few days ago. It's a very powerful song, especially today and this version brings that out. I'll have to listen to more!

[@robertkendall1037]

By far the best cover of this song ever

[@MrsRealistic]

It was pretty amazing!

[@SandraP3796]

Absolutely

[@yoops66]

Better than the original IMHO

[@pro-techautomotive9433]

Paul Simon Said he thought this version by David was more powerful and true than their version, gave it full approval in an interview I saw right after Disturbed released it.

[@MrsRealistic]

@@pro-techautomotive9433 That's so amazing!

[@karlbecker8775]

David could recite a menu and it would chart at #1. His voice is amazing!

[@shanebond4434]

Disturbed -The Sound of Silence video has over 1 BILLION views in 8 YEARS. 1 Billion seconds is equal to 33 years. This means, that more than three almost four people, had to click play, every second of every day for 8 years. WOW!!!

[@MrsRealistic]

That's incredible!

[@johnbrandon859]

Thank you for not stopping it … your comments are spot on

[@MrsRealistic]

@johnbrandon859 Thank you 😊 It was too beautiful to interrupt!

[@jwhiteuk]

David Draiman's voice and this arrangement is (in my opinion) the most appropriate for this haunting song

[@MrsRealistic]

He did it MAD justice! 🙌

[@jeffk1482]

Agreed. You watched PTX’s, and it’s indeed ear-candy…a wonderful rendition. But THIS, this hits so much harder in the feels and hits so much HARDER to the true meaning of the song. I think it’s how it was always meant to sound.

[@julieb.5860]

Thank you for also noticing and commenting on the visualizations, especially as the boat is reaching the people on shore to make a connection. One of the most powerful images for me is when the arms reach up to get the drum from the tree. I find that soooo beautiful. The rendition speaks (or sings) for itself. Beyond words.

[@steventaylor6881]

Oh yeah, David Draiman is phenomenal. Hes honestly the perfect introduction to metal because hes not super aggressive but he still has a powerful voice

[@eibbor171]

id say nothing else matters by mettalica more heavy, but not as in your face i guess with instruments this song is like a blend of rock and opera i call it rockpera

[@rmc119]

A gateway song.

[@lawrencekoprowski6480]

I get chills every time I hear this.

[@alchabeta3237]

Wow, I got hit by some Old Testament chills with this performance.

[@rmc119]

David and Paul Simon reminding us to relate to each other as one human to another, before THEY dehumanize mankind. THEY almost had us.

[@stuartdyer2159]

What a voice that is man ❤❤❤

[@rhennis1013]

Thank you for letting the song play then giving your reaction after.....putting the artist first then opinion next....plus also so many reaction youtubers make themselves 80% of the screen and 20% the artist of which you highlighted the artist primary.......totally classy and respect for your method...stay true and anyone reading this subscribe and like the way she did this!!!! You have my vote.....you are correct as this is an epic version of this song......breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrsRealistic]

Thanks so much! I figure the artists are much more interesting to watch than me 🤣👍 Many reactions I've watched, the video is too small and I can't see it... so if it's one I haven't seen before, a lot of it gets lost for the viewer. And with songs like this, I get so wrapped up and don't want to pause... whereas more fun videos, I'm more prone to say things during the song. But certain songs deserve respect, as this one does. Thank you for your kind comment!

[@rhennis1013]

Thanks for your reply......also check out Tom Ball singing this song from AGT......another great version...... Continued success!!!

[@MrsRealistic]

@@rhennis1013 Thanks so much! Cheers 🍻

[@DrJ4712]

Ok, Ok, I subbed!🤣😆🥰😊 I agree with everything you said!❤

[@REDHEADSARETOPS]

Ok, I reached the end and I am summarizing this woman discussing this song, definitely the BEST COVER ever... but her narration was BRILLIANT.

[@MrsRealistic]

Aww thank you! That's very kind! 😊

[@philpinckley1720]

There’s no doubt about it he can sing !

[@suek.1507]

This is my favorite version. ❤

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

David has one of the very best male voices out there imho. So beautiful and clear when he wants... so deep when he wants... so high when he wants. Awesome power and control. The man can even put vibrato on his distortion, which is incredibly difficult to do. Great reaction and cool you waited until the end!!

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you 😊 Yes, his voice is amazing!

[@carmenvazquez5784]

I never thought anyone could do justice to this song... UNTIL I heard this version! EPIC!!!

[@MrsRealistic]

Amen!

[@1girlnamedsusan]

Tge version takes the poignancy of Paul Simon's genius lyrical message and raises it to the sensory heights it so deserves. The comoosition here, along with Dramain's undeniable vocal diversity and power have given this song the new life it needed to resonate with its listeners for decades to come.

[@coleenoneil5601]

Agreed. His voice is AMAZING!!!

[@ericauen]

It’s Draiman, but yes

[@Kimberlyannkent]

I have seen this video and reactions many many times and your interpretation of the people writing songs and the musicians coming together to break the sound of silence …. I never thought of that and no reactor saw it that way either - WOW, what a way to see that. LOVE THAT! Thank you

[@MrsRealistic]

Oh, thank you! I didn't think I'd stumbled upon anything others wouldn't have picked up on! That's cool to hear! Thanks again! 😊

[@michaelleary8923]

His voice is special. His range, tone and control, are on another level from most singers . This is the BEST COVER of this song by a wide margin in my opinion. Some other versions are ok even good. This one is spectacular, great, Amazing, and legendary. He nailed it.

[@MrsRealistic]

Spot on 🎯

[@rmc119]

Doing God's work with a song that came to us through decades of time to wake us up. Everything is made up of vibrations and this performance vibrates a code into our body/soul.

[@Jean-vj7hs]

I’m so happy to see that this version by Disturbed is making a second round appearance, it was originally released in 2015. What’s old is new again and gaining popularity with the masses, it truly touches your soul! Loved the Simon and Garfunkel original but this version totally blows me away🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@robblaber6655]

FANTASTIC production on your part ... large screen video and EXCELLENT sound !!! TY ! ❤

[@MrsRealistic]

Many thanks!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@judygodwin1777]

I think this cover is indicative of the spiritual awakening going on all over the world right now. I know for me, it takes me to my soul level. Thank you for you're reaction.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@DravenGal]

Geoff Castellucci also does an epic cover of this. One of the best descriptions I've read of them is basically this: Simon and Garfunkel's version: A warning. Disturbed's version: Anger that the warning wasn't heeded. Geoff Castellucci's: I'm so sorry.

[@rickwoodham4570]

And Pentatonix's is Hope

[@MrsRealistic]

Wow, that sounds so cool! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@sutekh233]

Anger that the warning was unheeded? How odd for a metal band!! :P It's not just about the separation, it's also about the failure and corruption in society, and when speaking the truth marks you as "the crazy one". Slayer Does this REALLY well, especially across the entire album of "Seasons in the Abyss" (though, "Reign in blood" is probably more visceral).

[@DravenGal]

@@sutekh233 Okay.

[@MikeinUt]

The original version of the Sound of Silence is hard to beat. I see you have reacted to Pentatonx and now Disturbed. You should give a listen to Geoff Castellucci next.

[@sadiekincaid5310]

Disturbed has a song called A Reason to Fight. It is a very emotional song that shows just how human David Draiman is. He wrote A Reason to Fight while thinking about all of his friends he has lost to depression and addiction over the years. If you do A Reason to Fight please do the official live video because it helps really show just how much Disturbed is helping other people through their music.

[@rmc119]

Yes, they normalize mental healthcare and ask for a show of hands to illustrate that every one in the audience has or knows someone who has had depression or addiction. It is very moving to see. Then they have phone numbers up on banners for the local mental health hotlines. God bless Disturbed.🖤

[@gregory6592]

It's such a powerful cover Paul Simon put it on his socials page.

[@MrsRealistic]

Wow really?! That's amazing!

[@byronlee-wi3zv]

Not only did he link it he rang David after the Conan show to congratulate Disturbed, he wanted to sing it more like Disturbed did but the producers said no as they were folk singers, so Paul always intended it as a harsher warning. It is high praise when the original artist loves a rendition.

[@bradleymesa4497]

My favorite version this is one song that will go on forever

[@MrsRealistic]

Perfectly put! It's Timeless!

[@georgiaelder9187]

It never fails to give me goosebumps and brings me to tears.

[@tullysims1313]

You're all the way into it, impossible for me not to be. Thanks again!

[@MrsRealistic]

I appreciate that! Thank you!! 😁

[@mikebe41]

This song is almost 9 years old and I just heard it today amazing

[@БатькаМахно-я7с]

Bless the heavens, KZbin and David for THAT. We are lucky people to live these times and hear such masterpiece...

[@MrsRealistic]

Amen to that 🙏 🙌

[@Babzbee]

Absolutely Amazingggggggg❤❤❤❤❤

[@MallyNicholson]

Wow what a dam fine cover that voice just fits it perfect

[@obnoxiousbluebird6634]

I've always deeply felt the lyrics of this song. Everybody has a story to tell. Everybody has talent and vision to share, but if we don't communicate, if we ignore the messengers, or distrust the messages, if we stop listening to each other and depend on others to tell us who it's ok to like, who we should hate, what matters to us most, leaving the truth drowned out by the distracting chaos; if we further divide ourselves from each other, if we stop listening, stop trusting and caring about each other, stop sharing our 'songs' the silence left behind will be deafening. This version itself is a testament to the wonders humans can create when they bring their individual , uniquely amazing souls together to make a masterpiece!

[@MrsRealistic]

Amen to that my friend! 🙌

[@justjoe942]

One of thee best covers of all time; this is the way I always heard the song in my head. Right up there with Cash's 'Hurt'.

[@Traveler13]

Still gives me a shudder down my spine even after all the times I have seen it, Amazing emotional track

[@MrsRealistic]

It sure was!

[@debrablumrogers5096]

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!

[@MrsRealistic]

Agreed!

[@robarnold3690]

Thought this was to old for anyone to react to but I'm so glad you did. I absolutely adore Simon & Garfunkel but on this rare occasion I think I like this version better than the original. Apparently Paul Simon Liked it so much he promoted this version himself. Haunting and powerful is the only way I can describe it. Great reaction as always.

[@MrsRealistic]

Yes, this was an amazing rendition! That's so cool that Paul Simon did that!

[@genedoty6121]

Thank you for your inciteful review of the song. I especially enjoyed that you let the song play, and then did your review

[@deanlewis3787]

I have been watching your reactions and your performances for two years and it has been such wonderful pleasure. You have developed into a beautiful singer and special young woman keep up the good work also how about some more nightwish for this 70 year old

[@MrsRealistic]

Aww your very kind! Thank you! Yes, I will be doing more nightwish!

[@jamminen74]

S&G could not have said it better, the sound of silence, i see it like the way ppl are now with their smartphones. The world is silent, but the minds of the people are full of sound.

[@MrsRealistic]

Very good analogy!

[@stephanjulich8094]

So true

[@Rembrant65]

Proof of perfect timing. The music starts right when you ask if your sound is working. Everything else about the song is perfect too.

[@joenewman6494]

Spot on best cover ever goosebumps later girl.❤️😎🇺🇸

[@terrydurham3697]

Paul Simon is a genius. When S & G sang the original, it was in the era of 'folk music' and they sang it that way. It seemed like just another pretty little folk song that nobody could understand, but was danceable. It wasn't until Disturbed's take on genius Simon's words, that the meaning became horrifyingly clear what we were doing to each other, and the world around us. Silence like a cancer grows! Peace ❤

[@MrsRealistic]

Amen to that! I grew up on S&G as well as tons of other great music... but I never understood the meaning until I was older.

[@daveofyorkshire301]

This is one of those songs that really digs into your psyche. It's from a source I would never have listened too, and yet it's excellent. It's like War Pigs from Black Sabbath, another source I would never have listened too...

[@MrsRealistic]

Amen to that!

[@boqndimitrov8693]

a modern classic!

[@GeraldPage-e7u]

I love this cover. Super intense and beautiful! As mentioned below, definitely check out Geoff Castellucci's version. COMPLETELY different but just as good IMHO.

[@MrsRealistic]

Oh I'm excited to hear that!

[@timbrom]

I went down the reaction rabbit hole to this a fair while ago. Probably seen a couple of hundred videos. I often comment on the final scene, that the music is sailing towards the voiceless, and you are the first and only commenter to get there too. Thought I saw the tear glands activate at one point. Mine do every time I hear this. Also, do check out the live version on Conan.

[@MrsRealistic]

Yes, this song always gets me in the feels! I'll be doing the Conan one as well since everyone said it's amazing! 🙌

[@francoabbasciano5742]

If you haven't checked it out yet he sings this live as well in a video it's amazing

[@MrsRealistic]

Yes, I did that one! It's beautiful!

[@jamessugg7061]

He Rocks!!! But he's also good man!

[@rayezzo8889]

I wish i had a dollar for every time the first word anyone said after hearing this was "wow"

[@MrsRealistic]

Haha! I bet! 😄

[@JR3714]

David's vocal control comes from being a cantor in a synagogue.

[@madwelshbiker3710]

"is my sound working, i hear nothing" - yes, that is the sound of silence

[@Lee4364]

Simon & Garfunkel made one think.. Disturbed has you feeling it deep your Soul.

[@paulashanks3129]

Down With The Sickness by Disturbed ❤😊

[@MrsRealistic]

I realized afterward that they did that one. I DEFINITELY know that song! 😁🙌

[@VladimirBlarp]

You don't listen to this song, you experience it.

[@MrsRealistic]

Amen to that! 🙌

[@kenanderson2002]

I really don't know what word other than beautiful you could actually use to describe this. Seriously. What other word works? I love everything Disturbed did here, but oddly enough my favorite part is the visual when David says "and the people bowed and prayed" with his emotion and the flashing lights. It's hard to get past that point for me: it's all anger and disgust that we're headed for the destiny Paul Simon warned us about 60 years ago. Simply put: it's beautiful.

[@MrsRealistic]

Amen to that 🙏

[@jduncanandroid]

If you're also a fan of Phil Collins/Genesis, you might also appreciate Disturbed's take on, 'Land of Confusion'

[@glennspreeman1634]

watch the video without the sound to grasp its message. There is so much there as well! Then listen with out the video, then together again about 10-12 times!! .

[@PhilH919]

Great. Exactly what I took from it.

[@MrsRealistic]

Great minds think alike LOL!

This is the best. David Draiman has the most stunning voice. I saw Disturbed last year and seeing this song live made me cry

[@MrsRealistic]

That show must have been amazing!

[@sandpurdo01]

S&G version was a warning about technology and people losing the ability to actually talk to one another. David's version is rage at the fact humanity didnt heed the warning. So now we are to focused on our phones on social media. " People hearing without listening people talking wothout speaking. The neon god eg phones tablets computers tv.

[@MrsRealistic]

Yup, absolutely!

[@sandracole2578]
