In Finland we do not have a culture of smalltalk. If you ask someone "how are you", in Finland you are expected to give an honest answer to that. If you don't really care, you just say "hi" and "goodbye", without questions. That is respect when you only ask what you really want to hear. Silence is perfectly fine, if you don't feel like talking. We Finns will get invested, if you talk to us, so respect that dedication.

I was a teenager when they did their absolutely amazing reunion concert in Central Park where hundreds of thousands showed up. Garfunkel in Bridge Over Troubled Water might be one of the best vocals ever recorded. And Simon's lyrics are poetry. I miss artistry like this.

This performance was 45 years after the original release in 1964. How good are you now(or will be) at something you created 45 years in the past? Simon & Garfunkel are a beautiful change from my usual rock - it puts you in such a relaxed state. Check out them doing "Scarborough Fair" with Andy Williams on his show in 1968: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4CrgH-Xi5uIarM More:"The Boxer", "The 59th Street Bridge Song", "America", "Homeward Bound"(live from GH album). I'm sure you've heard "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (one of the best songs of all time).

I grew up with this song, and in spite of how skillfully the Disturbed version may be, I simply couldn't recognize it or relate to it. This is a foreboding song, but not despondent. The Disturbed version was just way too dark. The original, and the live version performed here is soooooo much better. It's as if it's a warning, which holds out hope, rather than a conclusive statement of doom. A great reaction by Ms. MaddyReactions, no hate, only kudos and gratitude from me--she nailed it.

hi i survived my last mental crash ..still climbing back up out of that hole but interaction with the world outside my cave is part of how i have learned to survive,, it helps thanks for tolerating me.. very few live versions of anything are better mostly because of the inability to control the sound as well as in the studio and in my opinion this was done more for nostalgic purposes than musical as we get older we like to see some things survive.. i had to re listen to disturbed's version again to recall my view and luckily found your vid for that .. when i originally heard disturbed version i had great hopes for it and though it's not a bad version i find that the potential for there version was never reached i feel that they should have built the song up more at the end and possibly brought in another vocal possibly to achieve that without getting too far away from the original message since it was a 2 vocal song to begin with ,, thank you

Paul Simon is underrated as a guitarist. It may be too deep of a track for a reaction but if you like acoustic guitar music, check out his song, "Anji". It is a acoustic guitar solo and it's amazing. It's hard to believe that it is one guitar as there are like three things going on at once. I've been playing guitar for 50 years and have been meaning to try to learn to play it but have been procrastinating on it for about 45 years.😅

When Simon and Garfunkel came out with this (and many other songs) it spoke to a generation. It meant something. They were as powerful as Dylan in Paul's writings and we savored every moment. 1000 years from now people will be listening to the original. I'm not sure about Disturbed's version (though I think it was great too).

But pushing past obstacles is what I truly know. Having grown up with this song, and Simon and Garfunkel generally, this is the way to really listen to the song for me. Yes there are amazing covers by groups like Disturbed and Pentatonix that are great but for me, this is it. Simon and Garfunkel greatly influenced my song writing. For my high school graduation I sang Bridge Over Troubled Water for my classmates. A song I highly recommend of them is The Boxer. They were true storytellers in all their music. I truly wish you a bright and wonderful day.

I remember this song, it runs so deep, a time when my mother had met a very bad man, drugs, drink and serious violence ensued, both toward my mother and the three of us kids(I was 10). I will never forget having to help the nurse stitch my mums head together. Crazy times, scarring times. Last time I saw this man in my home, two police officers grabbed him to the floor after he had threatened my mum with an axe. I saw him years later, he was frail and old, I wanted to stop my car and beat him, but I stopped myself. Apologies Maddie your reactions are always lovely , love to you both from UK

Paul Simon used to lock himself in the dark bathroom to write because of the acoustics. One day he sang out, "Hello darkness, my old friend" more as a joke than anything and that's when the lightning of this song hit him. Paul loved Disturbed's Conan appearance with this song and sent them a congratulations note. Many of us look at Simon & Garfunkel's version as the warning and Disturbed's version as the rage that it wasn't heeded. I love them both for different reasons.

My wife has the gift of being able to talk to anybody for as long as they care to talk and genuinely care about what they are saying. People seem to sense that and total strangers tell her their life's stories whenever we are out in public.

This is how I think of the 3 versions I like the most. Simon and Garfunkels original Sound of Silence, of course, is the ultimate rendition... It is a warning about Capitalism and Corporate take over of the government. (How I read the lyrics) Disturbed's version is how "We"... that heeded the reality of their words... feel right now... anger and frustration of the current issues we face as a country... And Pentatonix version is the hope that the younger generation have lived the Previous versions and will actually activate to change the Corrupt system. Over thanking? NOT IMHO... its the reality of the quagmire of Crony Corporate Capitalism.

It's True the creators of this Epic Work is absolutely amazing & the Harmonies The Difference between Simon & Garfunkel's version has way more Harmonies versus Disturbs Raw power & Grit !!! However I do enjoy both Versions & it Came With Paul Simons Blessings 😊

Their breakup in 1970 was sad. Each became jealous of the other. Art was tall, handsome, and had the voice of an angel. He once bragged that he got all of the girls. Simon was the creative half of the duo. He wrote all of the songs. When they split, Art had some modest recording success, but Paul took off into the stratosphere producing hit after hit solo. Check out his album Graceland. I think you will love it. While you might be able to name several Paul Simon songs or have heard them in movies, nobody remembers a single Art Garfunkel song. They have occasionally performed together since then, like this classic Madison Square Garden performance, but it is always bittersweet because they both know they will never reconcile and be a group again.

Simon & Garfunkel are amazing. Paul Simon went on to more solo acclaim but I really love the song 'All I Know' by Garfunkel. Give it a listen if you've never heard it before.😊

Do you think they ever sing that and at the end they're like "holy shit we were good." Like obviously they know the songs, they've sung together for decades... but still, they had a huge stage here, and totally nailed it. They have to feel it to their bones that they totally nailed it in front of a bigass audience.

You should watch the movie "The Graduate." Besides being an excellent movie, it's entire soundtrack is Simon & Garfunkel. Doesn't get better than that.

I am with you on this but I may be prejudice because I was here when it was first released. Quite young then but I've been a fan of Simon&Garfunkel from the start. I think Disturbs version fits today and I think highly of it too. Many have covered this song and I would say Disturbs take is close to it. I like you love the simply acoustic take of S&G more. Thanks for you lovely reactions to not just this but many of the songs I grew up to and with. Your a delightful person and most assured a beautiful soul. I covered about a half dozen of your reactions through this sleepless night and felt the true emotion of hearing them again as if it were the first time. You have a new sub here and this ol heart of mine was touched! All the best!!!

"How are you doing?" "Good". "Everybody asks how your day is...". I've been thinking about that all week. I've decided I might sing them the chorus to John Denver's "Some Days Are Diamond Some Days Are Stone". (Weird, right?) I'm sure they will laugh in my face but maybe one person will get it. "Some days are diamonds Some days are stone Sometimes these hard times Won't leave me alone Sometimes the cold wind Blows a chill in my bones Some days are diamonds Some days are stone" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ_JkJaNjs9ki9k

Great heartfelt reaction. Simon & Garfunkel are one of the most important artists, you couldn’t be more right about their version being the best. Art Garfunkel has the voice of an angel. If you haven’t already done so, you should check out the original studio version of Bridge Over Troubled Water. I think you would love it.

I'm not religious, but what ever higher being or evolutional twist gave mankind the ability to create and enjoy music, THANKS. This is one of the songs that bring me to tears every time, just because it's so beautiful. And yes, Disturbed did a good job with the cover-version, but performances by Simon & Garfunkel are unmatched.

I also love the original and prefer it to the Disturbed version. I wonder what your reaction would be to the Pentatonix version? I'm not going to say how it compares. I know you will love it, but not sure how you would rank it compared to the iconic S&G version. It is a matter of preference as I think both are gorgeous (you already know the quality of the Pentatonix harmonies!)! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZW5m4mqpddoa68

If Maddy would like some performances better than the original, I suggest "Stone Cold," "Never Enough," and "Rise Up," by Morissette And if Maddy likes harmonies - Try Home Free's. "Man of Constant Sorrow," "Ring of Fire," -- Almost any of their songs.
