You young people make this old guy tear up from the beauty you create. You are what this old world needs so don't ever stop. You've got a fan for life.

[@gwapopete]

100% agree with your words.

I am 60 and this is brilliant I hadnt heard of them before now.l was watching songs sang from greatest Showman and they were singing songs so l came to listen they are magical.xxx🌸

I've heard this before but tonight it hit hard. Covid, hurricanes, fires.... we all need a time out. Floodgates opened. It's videos like this that keep Kleenex in business. Thanks guys.

[@Chimpie666]

That harmony at 2:22/2:23......oof. I had to rewind a couple of times cause its so dang beautiful.

[@secretagent86]

omg you are so right!!

[@BeybladeGenius101]

My father would have absolutely loved this performance. I wish he were still here to enjoy the sheer beauty of the Sound of Silence, but alas, he's enjoying a different version of such. A more heavenly version Edit: thank you so much for taking notice of my comment like this. It really means the world to me

[@brb_herding_cats]

I came to leave almost this exact comment. Wishing you some comfort ♡

[@buzby6712]

As a teacher...watching these kids...it's everything a teacher aspires to do. Inspire, educate, and motivate young people to be the amazing people they are. Thank you for this!

[@OfficialMusicality]

Thank you so much!

[@brianmeijer9746]

i thought this song coulden't get better than the disturbed version but you guys proved me wrong, great job everyone

[@scottjessup952]

This is a rendition of the disturbed version

[@josemanuelteira6611]

This is really a version of Disturbed’s one.

[@GQkid13]

Check out Pentatinix's cover of it. You're welcome ♥️♥️

[@ryangee2150]

The Pentatonix one is great.

[@whiskerbiscuits22]

@@GQkid13 pooh. Ptxs version is really good too. Super good. I wish Home Free would cover it. I know Peter Hollens and Tim did a cover of it though. That was really good

[@chloerose5999]

OMG THAT FIRST GUY THAT FIRST NOTE seriously, you have my eternal respect. Edit: all of you have it. You guys are beauty personified. Don’t stop. Ever.

[@paca_bill4863]

One of the best, if not the best, rendition of this song. There's so much power in one voice, in the chorus, and in the silence. You have a group that is not only talented and knows how to sing expressively, but to do so together. Congrats!

[@spelmat]

Rendition of Disturbed is, imo, better. But that is a cover by a band. A cover from a whole troup, yes, best I heard so far. Musicality hooked me with their From Now On cover may I share.

[@saucydoxie]

I agree! Stunning!

[@jasmineakagha4354]

For me it's the best.

[@Camolleke]

amazing!

[@scottk8244]

Good version yes, the better than Simon and Garfunkel? Come on

[@santaclaushawkeyenj3878]

_The Sound of Silence_ Song by *Simon & Garfunkel* 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 In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp 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 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 And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence "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 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 whisper'd in the sounds of silence

[@secretagent86]

their musical director is a genius

[@cyrano82dolo]

I'm found of the 'Disturbed" cover. But, Wow, I'm speechless with this one.

[@plaguesoda9633]

As a choir kid I can only dream about being as good as even half of one of them

[@scottpersons1442]

The beautiful side of humanity is in everyone of these young people! Look what one amazing educator has brought to this world!

[@wesleyreller3439]

Rahman was simply amazing here! I've always enjoyed his parts in other videos, but he blew me away with the intro. Not to ignore the rest of the group; the harmonies were powerful and moving, making for an impactful version of this classic song

[@stephanielee9407]

Breathtaking. This group makes magnificent sounds. Great voices, great conductor, great performance.

[@leslieodonnell7530]

A beautiful cover, and an important PSA attached to it. I educate and advocate about Sensory Processing Disorder and related neurological disabilities, and although our culture is brimming with so-called Autism 'awareness' (you can have SPD without ASD, but you can't have ASD without SPD, by the way), there is very little understanding of what's really going on with the seven senses and four sensory functions as components of how these conditions manifest.

[@TrueCr1meFanat1c]

Yes! I have SPD (never knew that was the name of it until recently) and most people have no idea what I mean when I tell them my senses get very overwhelmed/overstimulated on the regular basis. Unfortunately it’s something I just have to deal with and music is something that helps me a lot. Also why I’m so attached to music and why it’s basically my life

[@joepublisher166]

Oh my, this should have millions of views!

[@Orodroth]

How good can Rahman be? To shine in such a gifted group requires to be amazing.

[@WARPapaRouge]

Kinda weird how "In restless dreams I walked alone" was the queue for everyone to join in. That aside, it is a beautiful rendition.

[@lisamhenry]

Nope. It was actually at "Fools say, I you do not know" was the point when EVERY voice joined in. Four folks had not opened their mouth the entire song, until THAT very point. 😉

[@radicafantasy6887]

i got goosebumps from this point on 2:09, the Harmony! The guy with the dreds...amazing!

[@jensquednau3776]

Meanwhile I am over 60, I know the song from the beginning. I always liked it. Then the "Disturbed" version appeared - different but great. What you did was sensational. A wonderful choir. I've heard a lot about you, but this song with your great voices is more than wonderful.

[@whusken-grenningloh7563]

I have and am going through a difficult period. Burned out with sometimes recoil from it. And when I hear your music, it started with a song from Come home. Tears running down my cheeks. First x that I could cry. And I have that with your music more often crying from your voices and my emotions that come out. Thank you, thank you for helping people unconsciously and being a bright spot. For me at least

[@TrishaK369]

You are so talented and positive, awesome!

[@ha1047]

Ihr habt so schöne Stimmen!!! Ihr seid wirklich klasse!!! 😁

[@theredrobin9402]

I was moved to tears??? Bawling?? By this cover? Of such a beautiful song that was covered so many times. And yet this rendition STANDS out. Simon & Garfunkel would have absolutely loved this

[@rethaf4747]

I love how this group sing this beautiful song!❤

[@ArbiterThelVadamee]

The harmonies are perfect, as usual.

[@JasGould-sh3fh]

One of the best covers of this song just extraordinary

[@henrygone]

Absolutely love this song and couldn’t have been performed better than this, Simon and Garfunkel might be the exception!

[@ColetonPhillips]

Love working with you guys. You're all so talented. Thank you for being awesome.

[@LindenGroves]

not only is this a beautiful cover but I really really appreciate you guys partnering with an organization that helps disabled people. Our community's needs, especially those within our community with sensory needs, often go ignored or unmet because people don't listen to us or think they know best. This is awesome.

[@brigittetavernier3726]

Magnifique!! merci! vous êtes top! et tellement divers!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍

[@rolfdenver]

I love this group. I love the harmonies, the accompaniment, the choreography, the filming, the song choices, the diversity. Thank you so much.

SCARY AMAZING Harmony

[@OfficialMusicality]

Thank you!!!

[@backindiapers]

This song has always been one of my favorites. They power that goes with this song always touches my soul. I love that you partnered with this cause and group. I myself suffer from sensory issues, PTSD and Agoraphobia related to my PTSD. Going out into the world is really hard so many times I have tried to go to an event or gathering only to have to leave all together because it was just sensory overload. I am near tears watching this video and seeing the mobile sensory bus I wanted to cry. That is such an amazing Idea!! I love every song you do and the story that is behind your group. Keep it up!

[@janabrozkova7868]

Guys, you made me cry. Thank you for such beautiful remake of this song. 🙏❤️

After listening to this track (multiple times) I have tears rolling down my face,the sheer vocal strength of Musicality totally blows me away.

[@SunnyD67]

Great job as usual. Rahman, I love your voice at the beginning!

[@Wolfie713]

Rahman, great voice, he definitely deserved to have a solo. Glad to see Roxy making a cameo. Michael, maybe it's just me, but that first line about having a sensory need I think is backwards. Instead of needing the sensory input, it's more of needing a break from it, if that makes any sense.

[@Wolfie713]

@@OfficialMusicality Music aspect was handled wonderful, as always. But I'm sure you already know that considering how successful the group has been under your guidance. I hope none of the group was claustrophobic, as that space looked cramped. :D

[@dolcesorriso81]

You are fantastic singers!!!! Congratulations!!!

[@PedroCabraldaCamara]

Guys, i'm a big fan of your group. I believe i never saw any group with all these good voices. All of you have an amazing and awesome voices. I have all of your music on my cellphone. This music was a very good choice, oldies, you know? But....can i suggest something? Sing all this music, differently than the original. Make your version unique. Let us hear all voices in solo, and of course, as well as in group. One last thing: i'd love to hear from you sometime, Somebody To Love and Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen, Creep from Radiohead, Everybody Hurts from R.E.M or Let it Be by The Beatles just to name a few.... Keep up the good work guys

[@HappyPhilS]
