MY FIRST TIME HEARING Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence [Official Music Video] *REACTION*

[@chadlumpkin2375]

I love watching people react to this version. Years later and I still get tears every time I hear it.

[@jamescurfman3284]

I wish I had seen Art's reaction to this. From what I heard, he would have thought it was good, too. Paul sure seemed to like it since he posted on Insta (or was it twitter?) :)

[@DarkTouch]

i keep watching them too. I only discovered this version a few months ago. S&G version is good, but the song doesn't come through... this one is a gut punch and goes straight to your heart. unbelievable execution, voice, and the crescendo in the arrangement with the other instruments. This is a song comes in your life once every 10 years or even more rare than that.

Simon and Garfunkel always made my skin crawl so I was glad Disturbed took this song and turned into something amazing.

A prophecy, set to music, in a song, crossing generations. Because we all can see the warnings written on the subway walls even if we don't know how to talk about it...

Full body chills! Amazing !!!❤❤❤

[@karenturner-wensel9536]

This rendition is awesome. I do feel that the original S&G version was right for the time. Moody and soulful. Disturbed has brought it back to life with harder edges. Different artists putting their own style /spin on a song is what keeps them coming back and going round and round again. Love this version, too!!

[@brl0522]

That blue on your eyes is fabulous ..

[@bethford6007]

This song is especially personal to Garfunkel.... when he was in college his college roommate lost his vision to glaucoma and left college depressed not talking to anyone. Garfunkel convinced him to go back to college and adjusted his own school schedule to be able to walk his friend to all his classes. Garfunkel gave himself the nickname Darkness in empathy to his friend. So 'hello Darkness my old friend' is a comfort. Simon & Garfunkel obviously do this song (it IS theirs) but Disturbed certainly makes it incredible. ❤️

[@miafranlund6982]

I have always thought it was Paul Simon that wrote the song.

[@bethford6007]

@@miafranlund6982 I'm not sure who wrote it as I think I've read that too - but the Garfunkel stuff is true as well. Maybe a collaboration... I don't think it matters significantly at this point. Oddly

[@davidens8204]

David was classically trained in Jewish choir from the time he was really young and it really shows .. what I got from this song is the original version from Simon and Garfunkle was a warning to mankind .. but Davids's version was a message that it is too late for mankind .. very very powerful ..I have seen grown men cry from watching this cover .. just amazing

[@lisat9322]

Disturbed did a cover on this song because it's NOT too late or they wouldn't have done this in the 1st place. They are warning us ALL again!

He was not trained in a jewish choir. He was trained as a cantor; to sing jewish prayers. That is not classical training.

Every time I hear this all the hair on my body stands up. I am very happy that you only stopped it once to comment. This is by far the most soul stirring version of S&G song. The depth of his emotion is unbelievable. ✌👵🇨🇦

[@Aurora-cv5to]

I grew up on Simon & Garfunkel - back in the days before songs had become theater. I stumbled across this a few years ago and am still awed by its raw power. I'm not into metal and the rest of Disturbed's work hasn't caught me, but this remains a favorite. David Draiman did miracles with this song.

[@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. We no longer interact face to face with each other, but through technology, social media on our cell phones and computers. I could go on and on. 😢

[@alanq64]

I get the same feeling each and every time I listen to this song. It reaches down deep and grabs ahold. Love it

[@beckyshell4649]

When I heard you say he had the voice of an angel I thought are you crazy but I then realized you hadn't got to that point yet. He has a beautiful voice but his looks and the background scenes give a dark vibe. The "meaning" of the song seems to be a mystery that can have multiple takes. I think the song was written in the early 60s so in my mind the "neon god" was television people paid attention to the TV instead of having conversations with family and neighbors. In the modern age, I think the "neon god" is the cell phone. People can be sitting with each other and texting or scrolling on their phones instead of talking.

[@kirstymackenzie2437]

[@MrPhife333]

He started out like an angel, then transitioned to a very angry angel. An angry angel would be terrifying to behold. And yet, one would be compelled to listen closely to EVERY word he said!

[@shirleywhit2123]

Simon and Garfunkel wrote this song when television first came out and that he recalls the silence. Neon light is referred to as the light of old tv's when they first came out. Looking at this song now, they were seeing how tv would stop communication with each other. I see this song is NOW MORE relevant, with how far we have come in technology, with gamers and cell phones. Nobody looks up and talk anymore. Sad but so true and to know in 1960's that they were so spot on.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

I think David Draiman's clear diction, out front lyrics lets people actually get lost in the meaning of the song, taking to heart, understanding.....powerful song, powerful version

[@suzannecurry7756]

What’s cool is how there was no profound intent w the lyrics . Paul spent many hours at library finding words that fit the melody.

This version is nothing short of INCREDIBLE! If you want to hear a couple of other very good, a capella versions, try Pentatonix and Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust (from Home Free). I don't see any of these groups in your reaction playlist, so you might want to consider reacting to them, too. My personal favorite of the three is Home Free. They cover so many different genres of music and do them all justice. If you decide to react to them, you might want to start where many of us did - with their performances in Season 4 of The Sing-Off. I would recommend the videos that include the judges' remarks and watch them till the end to see the comments the guys made off stage afterwards. It really shows their personalities.

[@billfry3380]

I am 65 years old--this song was written by Simon and Garfunkel in 1963-64 mostly in response to the assassination of JFK --the end of the Camalot vision of a better world as produced by an advanced society --the turmoil in our society with raging poverty and the beginnings of Vietnam. It was a very dark and melancholy time --unfortunately Simon and Garfunkel did not have the power to convey that --other than the wording, While excellent musicians and writers they simply did not have the ability of David Draimen to convey the Angst and futility of the direction of our society then or now. I have watched many reactions to this song --it is distressing to see the number of people who can feel the power of the song --sense that there is a deeper message and yet cannot either decipher or refuse to decipher the message. We are failing as a society --they can feel it as could Simon and Garfunkel 60 years ago ---the words of the prophets of the are still written on the subway walls --I strongly suggest you think seriously about what those words say or don't say about the future !!!-------If only we had had David Draimen back then we might not be where we are now.

[@williamferguson6200]

This song was written in 1962 by Paul Simon. I was in USAF. Our Silence was in the Nam. This song said it all.

He was an angel in the beginning mourning the silence through technology that we have built around ourselves. He ended with that same angel filled with a Righteous Wrath that the warnings were not heard.

[@raymondceliare2307]

This is not the type of music they normally play, they're a metal band. They just decided to take 3 or 4 classic songs from different legendary bands and re-did them. And everyone lost their shit, because they re-did them SO WELL.

[@roguemerlin1969]

You need to listen to the original. It was written as a warning about the direction society was taking and was a little softer with sadness. This version is performed with anger that we hadn't listened to the warning. David, the singer, was trained as a classical cantor. I love both versions.

[@bethford6007]

A copy/paste (something I found) Garfunkel, introducing the song at a live performance (with Simon) in Harlem, June 1966, summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly intentionally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."

[@paulr6881]

" People talking without speaking " " People hearing without listening " These lyrics make sense with what you have just pointed out .

Always a ten out of ten every day of the year but a 12 out of 10 on the last Sounnnnnnnd in the last line really is powerful and is beautifully done. Now am a fan of all their songs and i had never heard of them untill 2022. GOD asked David the singer if he wated to dound like an angel or demon. David said yes. He is a truly wonder man, a properly trained Jewish Cantor. He js not scared to sing songs that may seem controversial or scary or even happy and angelic but each of these songs has part of his heart in it and a lot sre sung with real life experiences. Some maybe disturbing eg Inside the fire but he will give a warning befire the videos if they arenlikely to some people grief or uneasineds . It seems firnhis most disturbing song which i will watch the whole of, he has released an edited ir altered softer version for thise whi can not hand the topic of such songs. Hes been through so much in life and were lucky to still have him on earth .

[@edordzie244]

Another great Disturbed song , showing off how he is able to smoothly transition between his "clean", cantor-trained voice and his metal rasp is "The Light". I think you'd like it too.

[@RissaFirecat]

The first time I ever heard this song, it moved me to tears, and I am 72 years old. I heard Simon and Garfunkle sing it, but it was like them saying a warning about something they could see on the horizon and David singing this as a scream of anger that we DID NOT LISTEN!

[@lisahaasecustomsewing2106]

Interesting trivia: David Draiman, the lead singer for Disturbed, actually trained as a Jewish Cantor (prayer and hymnal leader). He also studied for his law degree. Girl, you might not know this but this song is over 50 years old, composed and originally sung by (Paul) Simon & (Art) Garfunkel, a group popular in the late 60's, early 70's. Many singers/bands have performed this song, not just Disturbed.

[@donnone7295]

Originally from the Great Simon and Garfunkel. It was written for a specific purpose and personal connection. Disturbed did a live version on Conan years ago. If you want to hear a different take on the same song there is a group called Pentatonix that did "cover" the song. Warning, PTX covers are often called Upgrades by both fans and the original song writers. Their beat boxer Kevin is a beast, playing the Cello while Beatboxing (he calls it Cello Boxing) and he keeps the tempo for the group. Each member sings a verse so you don't feel alone like one person.

[@skeeterinnewjersey5256]

I agree with the comments saying that S&G's version was a warning. I get the feeling that this version is saying "Damn you. You've had all these years to learn and you STILL HAVEN'T GOT IT YET!" I'd like to sit at a Trump rally and play this as loud as possible. Right after Neil Diamond's "America." If you ever do a Neil Diamond song, I suggest "And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind."

[@johnsmith-ut2tq]

The first stanza Simon refers to darkness as being his "old friend" that he came to talk with because he was awoken in the middle of the night, of a nightmare that still lingers in his head, that gives his a considerable amount of distress. So bad that the awful visions were still flashing before his eyes as he is awake. Second stanza begins setting the scene in which the dream took place: at night, him walking along the cobblestone road where he stops below the light of a streetlight. The cold chill runs up his back, so he lifts his collar to the "cold and damp." Just then, a blight neon sign lit up, showing that he, in fact, was not alone. But there were "ten thousand maybe more" all gathered in the cold night. The people who are talking, not speaking, are politicians, who are using false words to sway the population to vote for them, never revealing true intentions. The people therefore are hearing are not listening. They are taking these words that are spoken to them in plain value, not examining or putting into depth anything that is said. Because of this, as referred to later, these politicians have formed a government that the people in fact voted for and supported until it began to act as a dictatorship. This seems that Simon is making an inditement to a large government that has taken away the freedoms of its people. A future for America it seemed with the rise of government in world affairs as in entered Vietnam. This "future America" has given Americans everything, and has the power the take it all away, hence the people "bow and pray to the neon god they made." The Silence that is referred to is the silence of the people, afraid to say anything against the government for fear of death or worse. Simon, or whoever has had this dream, tries to bring people to speak out. Saying "Fools, you do not know, Silence like a cancer grows" that as more are afraid to speak, the more control the government takes and the less anyone will stand up to the new government. As all hope is about to be given up, someone steps up and says to the crowd that the future they will hold has been written on the walls of subways and tenement halls. This is because this form of protest can be done anonymously, therefore no one can get in trouble for it. This begins the whispering in the silence of the people, and starts the beginning of a revolt.

"And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made." Think about what everyone is doing when they are looking down at their cellphones. Head bowed, neon lights emitting from an artifact that people put way too much faith into.

First things first I wanted to tell you you are absolutely beautiful. And I also really like your hairstyle it is super cute. And I don't know if you're aware of this or not the song The Sound of Silence was actually made by a group called Simon and Garfunkel from back in the day. You might want to try to look up the original and then kind of compare both versions of the song.

yes some comment I once saw was he began as the voice of God, and then he turned into the wrathful, vengeful God. But yes, I LOVE the lyrics. in this song. I know it's about our society, how we lost touch with real music from the heart and soul and have been tempted to bow and pray to the neon pop music of glitter, glam and no talent but certainly enhanced bodies lol. But I also see a spiritual side to this. Think of Moses coming down from the mount. I've liked and subscribed to your channel because you don't interrupt the video constantly and are obviously not an airhead lol. Keep it up girl!

Simon and Garfunkle's was a warning - Disturbed's is a primal scream.
