xD check out Heartattack in a Layby by Porcupine Tree if you want a truly truly sad song to get a good cry out of :) it's about a guy that has a fight with his wife and takes a drive to clear his head and slowly succumbs to, and describes the symptoms of having a heart attack and dying while wishing only in the end that "I just want, to say sorry, and that we'll grow old together". As if his ghost is already reaching out from his body trying to say he's sorry that that was the last time they would see each other. Simple, sad and beautiful.

Depression and loneliness hurt to the very core of our souls. Lets keep an eye out if we see someone having a bad day. Say “hello”, share some love. SING A SONG TOGETHER. Show the goodness and greatness in your hearts! Love and smiles are free… give them out generously. Pray for peace, and help those in during our Holiday season and even beyond this time.

Some think after such a long time that I don't have to fight every second, minute and hour of every day! I know what I am and I know how to win each and every moment! So I fight!

This song has a lot of meaning for me. I loved the original by Simon & Garfunkel. I’m 48, will turn 49 in March. My mom introduced me to a lot of music from the 60’s and 70’s. She loved Simon & Garfunkel and I had the privilege of taking my mom to see them live in concert in the early 2000’s. Now…I listen to all kinds of music from all genres and time periods. But my mom was way more knowledgeable about current music than myself. She absolutely LOVED this version of this song. It gave so much more feeling than the original and she and I both felt great emotion when listening to this version along with the video. It will always have a very special place in my heart because I lost my mom in 2021 just before her 70th birthday. I still listen to it regularly but must admit I cry every time. It reaches deep into my soul and overwhelms my feelings of loss which I still have not been able to come to terms with.

Me being in my 50's, I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel. I spent decades listening to the original. Fast forward to the late 90's, early 2000... I always thought Disturbed had a very unique sound, and they have definitely evolved throughout the years. When their rendition of "Sound of Silence" came out, I gave it a listen. After the first time, I just sat there, dumbfounded, and in shock. I simply stared at my phone screen for several moments, before I hit "replay". Second time around, I'm sobbing... a deep running gamut of emotions. My heart gave a standing ovation and clapped with intent. Conviction. They did justice. And now, to this day, I still feel the same way as I did then. Absolutely beautiful.

But the vocals of the live appearance that night took this up another leap, timesv20! It impressed me even more so once I learned that David was horribly Ill that night with a raging fever. The host wanted him to cancel the appearance and go to the hospital, but David wouldn't so they compromised and David sat in the stool for it. Even Paul Simon said that David owned this song and made it better. Just a stunning reimagining of the song. Period.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this version of Sound of Silence! I don't like heavy metal but when I heard this I had to buy it on Itunes. My kids were shocked I had something by Disturbed on my play list. I'm 71 years old and I'm a lover of the oldies of late 50', 60's and 70's so this particular song just touched me and I can't explain it!

It's the best cover I've ever heard, even going so far as to be better than the original.

This cover of the song is really great. David Draiman's vocals give me goosebumps and is very emotionally moving.

Masterful cover from the change in tempo, phrasing, building to crescendo and emotional ending. He served a feast but we're hungry for more.

After years of watching this cover I still get chills and tear up. The original was a warning and this version is the angry reply that no one did anything to change the disconnect of people; its worse than ever with everyone on their phones 24/7. Simon saw them do it on the Conan show & Contacted them to say how great it was. :) This is my #2 fav cover of all time. #1 is Nightwish doing Pink Floyd's song High Hopes. #3 is Bad Wolves doing Zombie by the Cranberries. All are so good!

The visuals in this video are so striking and while I love David's vocals in this video I feel his performance vocally was even better on Conan Obrien

Your facial reactions say it all !!! This is an amazing cover of a brilliant song, 1st done by Simon & Garfunkel warning us, if we don't change our ways we are headed for destruction, and Disturbs version is angry, because we didn’t listen to the warnings... 😌 I always feel this song is like a rollercoaster ride, slowly brings you to the top, then crashing to the bottom.....Great reaction!!!

I generally don't like remakes of songs, however this IS the exception. The original was done in the 60s during the peace and love, flower children era. Disturbed's rendition, I belive gets at the heart of how people worldwide are feeling. You can literally feel the emotion to your core, anger, frusteration, questioning at the soul level of what our belief systems are - as a society money and profit are the gold standards. Maybe it is now time for us to take a look at what we have allowed ourselves to create and come up with a better way of doing things, question our paradigms...is it worth it?

This is my first time to your channel - but when I seen what you were reacting to I had to come in and hear your thoughts. Yes it is an amazing undertaking of such an iconic piece of music. I was ecstatic the first time I heard it, put it on loop for a good hour. You are a great listener and have a pure reaction, well done.
