[@faiththatseeksunderstanding]

As others have pointed out, this is a unique take on Sound of Silence. The original has a melancholy feel to it, a sense of loss and bleakness. The Disturbed cover communicates a person dealing with their inner demons and the demons of society at large. Malinda's cover, this is the first time I've felt hope from this song. It has the sense that the silence is beautiful and good, that the vision will germinate to become something more, that there is something new and alive bursting forth in this person's life and eventually in the lives of others.

[@KrisOsterhout]

As someone who studied music for 20 years and has listened to dozens of world-class vocalists, I have to say that you have one of the most purely angelic voices I've ever heard. You have exceptional vibrato control and your timbre is enthralling. You use melisma tastefully. You have phenomenal dynamic control of your voice and you're able to mix effortlessly. You make sure every passage is moving toward your intended direction through proper spin. Really, really excellent.

[@stephencraig5938]

This is the hardest song to cover. Every phrase is studied and the tone precise. There are many many horrible to average covers but her voice resonates and the song soars.

[@syrsknight]

Her voice is beautiful! Reminds me of Claudine Longet with la'mour est blu (Love is Blue).

[@stairgauge]

Her voice is beautiful, I love the song. Disturbed's version seem to bring out the stupidity of the people making and worshiping a neon god they made. The build up was extremely well done. Someone said Disturbed sung the song the way a male should sing it and Matilda sung it the way a woman should. One song sung for 2 completely different moods....priceless.a

How wonderful! Thank you so much Ma'am Malinda for sharing your beautiful and mesmerizing voice to sing this beautiful song.

I am in my mid 40s, mom is 70. She told me the story of how she went on vacation and had never heart of Simon and Garfunkel. Came back 2 weeks later, and everyone was talking about them and this song was everywhere. I played this for her, she didn't say a word, just instantly repeated it. "This gives me chills. Better than the original and I never thought anyone would do that." I agreed, became a patron 30 seconds later. Your voice and Akiane Kramarik's art, y'all have Grace, gifts that are so rich and true only God could have given them. Even if I hadn't had a NDE and seen God several times, people who have gifts of this caliber would make me believe in a higher power. Thank you. This brings peace to the weary and conviction to the doubting. God bless.

Your voice is enchanting! My mom just passed away last Sat, and it seems all songs somehow some way reminds me of my mom. I can almost hear my mom singing along, while smiling. She had a good singing voice, but hers was much deeper. She too sang this song, but on karaoke. She killed it every time! Thank you for helping me remember those fond moment's.

A hard time. I lost my mother many years ago. All we have now is memories of the good times.

[@sajidmunir864]

If lost your mother, you lost it entirely

Absolutely beautiful !

[@monosrijamajumder7801]

Yay! Ever since the Google translate version I wanted you to make a real cover of it! It's beautiful thank you

[@loonylovegood2.073]

Yessss ! Same! :)

[@mjdapp]

The Google Translate version set a pretty high bar but this version is even better.

[@ajwehrig7068]

Oh mercy... I wish I had a voice like that....i would never stop singing. Your voice, your "version" of this song just hit me in the gut, my heart started to shatter.... and tears just started streaming.

[@allanboyer2769]

Absolutely beautiful voice. What a gift from God.

Absolutely beautiful

S&G created it, and their version is immortal. Disturbed's cover is raw, emotional, sad and angry, and is amazing. Puddles Pity Party did a version that I love; he did the ending I always thought the song should have. MALINDA has created a version that is ethereal, otherworldly, like our whole listening experience might have been a dream- a dream that is truer than reality, which is exactly what I have always felt the original was going for.

I'll leave my reply here as a reference so that I can later come back and look up all the versions

[@stan4620]

Accurate!

[@dredbud9272]

I would like to see Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s reaction to this version. Just beautiful. The true voice of an angel .

[@trexxg1436]

There are no words to describe how beautiful Malinda sings The Sound of Silence, so I will just let her sing and I will forever listen.

[@EmGee67]

Wow. Covers rarely do the original justice but this is so beautiful. What a voice.

[@RayT70]

One of the best renditions I've heard 👏

[@michaelhayes5172]

You are definitely blessed and you have an amazing voice. I look forward to listening to more of your beautiful music.

[@joshuaholtz8394]

My Goodness!!! If the sunset had a sound, it would probably sound like you!

[@aaronmatranga7108]
