Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence [Lyrics Video]

[@natahliasmith9533]

This is the last song I showed my mother before she passed away last Christmas. I remember it with complete and utter clarity. As she lay in her hospital bed, I placed my headphones gently on her ears and pressed play. I remember all the features of her beautiful face, each line and crease had a story to tell about her life. And what a life it was, filled elation, joy and unequivocal love, along with sorrow and more pain than I care to imagine. Her strength and love is something that I can only aspire to. As the song reached it crescendo I watched as the hairs on her arms began to slowly raise created by tiny goosebumps. Then as the song slowly drew to an end, I witnessed the most radiant smile along with one....just one little teardrop falling from her cheek. We didn't need words... When her eyes stared into mine it was the warmest, most pure love only a mother and her child could possibly convey. We were absolutely blissful in the sound of silence.

[@jowolf2187]

​@@flipper9038 I agree they likely aren't jealous, however, I would also like to point out the songs Scarborough Fair and Bridge of Troubled Water. Furthermore, I think that they would be pleased and flattered that such a talented vocalist likes one of their songs enough to want to recreate it. I mean come on David has a 4 octave range - that's the same as both Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and Freddie Mercury (actually I think his is 4.5, but beside the point). At least 3 vocal coaches on KZbin that I know of have responded to this version, and were blown away by his technique and power. Here's a link to one of those reactions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIe1qpeddteki9U

Fun Fact: The symbol for the band Disturbed, used originally as art for the band's Believe album, is actually made up of four religious symbols: The Jewish Star of David, The Wiccan Pentacle (often confused to be a satanic symbol), The Crescent Moon of Islam and the Christian Cross. The idea was for it to be a symbol that represented Unity especially since most of the band was raised Catholic save for lead singer, David Draiman, who was raised Jewish and claimed that while they don't believe in religion itself they do believe in God.

Usually a cover can never outplay the original, but Draiman's voice and the slower tempo actually make the message of this song much more meaningful. S&G is a great version, no doubt. This one just hits more to your heart and soul.

[@PvblivsAelivs]

I get the feeling this one tries too hard. Paul and Art's was truly haunting.

[@trixiewheeler3483]

I tended to agree with John Undefined’s comment with regard to Disturbed’s cover; I was listening to their “Official Music Video”. I definitely preferred Simon & Garfunkel’s version! Actually, as I first began to listen, “creepy” was the word that initially came to mind (and just Too slow). But then I watched/listened to Disturbed sing it on Conan, and I have to say that I Did appreciate That rendition much more! I really liked it, and the reverence with which he sang this beloved classic clearly rang throughout; I was moved, much more so than my initial listen to the official video cover. That said, in no way did I personally feel that it was somehow “better”, superior to the original. The lyrics themselves, were so spot on in ‘64 when Paul Simon wrote this song, and if possible, even more so now~ they’re hauntingly bleak, despairing, & yet, somehow soulful, hopeful… Paul & Art’s voices, tempo with which they gave life to those lyrics, imo, only served to make them even more hauntingly, beautifully poignant. Having since read a little background on why Disturbed wanted to do the cover, some other facts.. I think I most appreciate Disturbed’s version, not as “a better cover”, but as a loving tribute to Simon & Garfunkel and the song lyrics Paul had written. in that regard, I believe they excelled. 😊

I lost my best friend to blood cancer when I was 8 years old. At his funeral they played his favorite song - the sound of silence. Even as an adult, I broke down emotionally crying when I heard the song. The cover version of Disturbed helped me to cope with this trauma. I can now listen to the original again without breaking down, but it still makes me cry every time...

You do realise that there is no real "silence", right? Or at least the average human hasn't experienced it. There's always some sort of background noise, whether it be the wind, the leavs on the trees, or birds.

+Jeffrey Stanley So you haven't experienced the "sound of silent" yet? You're totaly right when you're saying that there's background noise, but there is something beyond. It's very special, you might say it's not "earthly" but it still exists. And if you're listen close enough you might here it, and you want to enjoy it as long as you can.

when I first listened to this song I was on the verge of tears at how powerful this cover is and I was also caught off guard because I thought this would be like down with the sickness style, you know angry. I was very wrong. Oh, and the 'neon god' that the song refers to is the television and the 'sound of silence' is the brain. No, I'm not a philosopher if that's what you're thinking. I just looked it up. But I can give modern philosophers a run for their money because I can be very philosophical when the need for it is great.

That is the beauty of a really good musical track and the lyrics therein, the meaning is open to each listeners interpretation, for whomever listens and how they interpret it, their reflections and their life's experiences will give it whatever meaning they wish to impart Even a change in mood by each and every listener can provide an even more enlightening meaning. Despite what the original author intended.
