OMG🤯 First Time Hearing DISTURBED - The Sound Of Silence”03/28/16 | Reaction

[@marcforgues9393]

I will never get tired of watching people react to this song. First they are blown away by the beauty of his voice. Then he starts to build it up and they are like ohh what's coming? A little growl!? Did I like that!? I think I did! The he starts to really let it out and really growls and controls the beauty and you can literally tell when the chills kick in.

[@oldbutnotdead1]

Kills me every time. And that he was sick with the flu and running a temperature during the performance...just amazing.

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

David Draiman....one of the best vocalist's on the planet!! Talent and voice control is unbelievable!

[@jerrynankivel9422]

One of the best vocal performances you will ever hear.

[@johnstorm9314]

Also one of the greatest songs ever written from a lyrics standpoint.

[@TwistedSisler]

That tiny little bit of autotune makes me cringe every time in this live version though because he didn't need it.

[@patsyelias8732]

@@TwistedSisler Nor did he want it. He was sick & " they " decided to use autotune. He was furious afterwards.

[@rehecke7124]

"Is this really his voice?" Not only is this his voice, it is his voice *restrained* and *controlled* throughout the entire song... which is simply perfection for this performance.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

actually it isn't, there a cpl times the Autotune kicks in, You can see when he pulls his head back from the mic kinda annoyingly, he didn't want it used, but he was fighting an illness and the show's producers used it, and 2 or 3 times at the farthest reach of his vocals, it kicked in, unfortunately, but for those 3-5 secs, all the rest: him.

[@jamesmitchell7093]

Umm...what? A voice automatically processed through a computer program is not a human being's "voice."

[@robwheelut]

Yep One Of The Greatest Voices In The World

[@tomdoppke2154]

A little background. David had the flu when he did this performance. He is formally trained as a Cantor. Paul Simon, the writer and original performer (with Art Garfunkel) has said that Disturbed has made this song their own.

[@rachelh5467]

Flu and all! He absolutely killed it!!

[@TontoEpstein]

You don't know what you are talking about. It is entirely Auto-Tune. Even the studio is empty, there is no studio audience. The entire thing is a fraud. And Paul Simon never said what you claim he said.

[@domhnallkelly5084]

Hes actually sick in this live set which blows my mind even more 🤯

[@12211219]

My interpretation of this song, revised: This song is written with two separate people or consciousnesses singing it. Those that are waking up and those that have been awake for a very long time. The first, third and fifth verse is sung from the perspective of the unawakened and the second and forth verse are sung from the perspective of the awakened. Hello, darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence Hello, darkness, my old friend is about people that have been kept in the dark and they're telling the darkness that they are experiencing something new in their vision. They (the awakened/aware ones) planted the seeds of truth/Light, and they are just starting to become aware. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence There are fewer of the awakened, and they feel as if they are alone under the Light of truth, because they refused to by into the lies the dark has been trying to feed them. Then one day they saw a crack in the armor of dark, they saw a opportunity to break the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence And in that moment they saw all of the light workers/star seeds (awakened Ones) telling those that were still asleep the truth/Light, through telepathy those that were sleeping heard and saw the truth/Light in a very subtle way, but yet they couldn't share this Light/truths with anyone for fear of being attacked by those that controlled the sound of silence. They wrote the truth in songs, the truth had to be give covertly as not to disturb the sound of silence (the dark). And when the people became aware of the Light/truth and realized that they had been in darkness the whole time, it really pissed them off. "Fools," said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence They reached out to those still in slumber, trying to give them Light/truths, but they wouldn't open their minds to new truths, instead remained in the sound of silence. And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence." The people were so caught up in working hard to pay for all of the things, the boats, cars, electronics, all of the toys that they covet. They couldn't see or hear the truth, they were too distracted by consumerism. The awakened/prophets have been trying to tell them through their songs and poems, and that whisper of Light/truth awakened the people from their slumber and they became ONE. Did you notice the ship sailing into the Light at the end of the studio version?

The way he controls that amazing voice and slides in and out of a perfect vocal fry is EPIC. Love me some David Draiman 💖🔥🖤

[@iSiberianHusky]

Rachel, that is the entire point of Auto-Tune. It's not amazing, it's a processed voice. Yes, it's "perfect." Exactly. That is why if you teach your dog to sing human words, he could sound perfect, too. Just give him a microphone and hook up the cord to the console. Voila! Your dog Fluffy is a rock star singing cover ballads originally sung by humans who could sing without perpetrating a fraud.

[@dustyboy14747]

I agree that this particular live performance outshines the video. Don’t get me wrong, the video is very well put together and gives you visuals of the story he is unfolding…both very powerful and what a gift of talent. But live brings out his beautiful, trained and strong voice with such passion as he’s relating the somber story of mankind. Makes you really get into the heartfelt lyrics of Paul Simon’s song of yesteryear and still has meaning throughout history and especially into today’s world. You don’t have video distracting from his performance and pure voice. I agree … WOW. No heavy metal there … very classy and well done. Orchestra and his band accompany him very well and those tympani drums OMG. It all builds and builds towards that beautiful ending. Gives one goosebumps and such a wondrous musical treat. Well done to all. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cyngrant6564]

He was sick with the flu when he performed that night. He is incredibly talented.

[@TontoEpstein]

No, he wasn't "sick." And he didn't perform this hideous Auto-Tune garbage that night. That's why O'Brien was enjoying an inside joke at his show's own expense at the beginning, intentionally mocking his own show. He was standing up and pretending to go crazy for a musical act to his left that wasn't actually there.

[@Gordon705]

Remember when you paused at a minute and a half and said - listen to his voice. That was funny because I knew what was coming. A minute and a half in is still the intro.

I love This song! I also love your Christmas hat! It blesses me how much you love the season because I love Christmas too. As for this rendition of "The Sound of Silence", while I do prefer the Simon and Garfunkel version I have to say that this guy does a fantastic job as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the song as sung by him. His vocal interpretation adds a different interpretive dimension to the song itself, which I like. It adds variety to a song that has already been known for a number of decades. And as always, your reaction to it also was outstanding and added to the experience. I love seeing you react to songs you have never heard before. In a way, it's like I get to listen to it for the first time all over again. Great job is always! And here's to your next reaction video! Blessings! 🙏🙂❤️

You think Auto-Tune is fantastic?? I think Auto-Tune is an insult, a middle finger to the audience. This is a travesty.

[@russ4862]

@@iSiberianHusky a middle finger? And a travesty? I understand not liking it but that seems to me to be a bit over the top. Why do you say it's a middle finger and a travesty?

[@iSiberianHusky]

@@russ4862 Because Auto-Tune can turn ANYBODY into a singer. It's freakin' karaoke. It's insulting to the audience, it's insulting to every singer who doesn't use it. And it's so blatantly obvious in this guy's songs, and his Auto-Tune cover of this particular song is an abomination. I'd cut him some slack if he'd simply admit that he uses Auto-Tune on all of his albums and during live performances. Be honest with the consumer. Be honest with the audience. But instead, he chooses to repeatedly, without a conscience, lie about it like everybody is a complete idiot. As I said, it's both a middle finger and a travesty.

[@tajniwolf]

While this was a beautiful video, it seems like all I can ever hear in it is the auto-tune his manager insisted he use because he was sick during this particular performance. You can hear it creating these tiny jumps in the tone when he changes notes. If you liked this, you should listen to the studio-recorded version. There's not a ton of alterations in that one and you can hear all the little nuances in his voice and it sounds so much more natural. It's incredible!
