TOMMY JOHANSSON - Sound of silence (COVER) | REACTION - (I cried so hard)

[@tiinakari4055]

My grandson died in age 17. He was the only one which I could talk about music. I am 73. We both loved metal.

[@GivenToe]

Im very sorry for your loss 🙏🏻😢

[@fortressfrazze3777]

Tommy is like an angel out of this world. Me my self have played bass, guitar, drums and singing since I was 7 years old now I am 53. I am pretty good at what I do but not even close to Tommy. He is so gifted. All he touch become gold. I have always said a song become better with a distored guitar. Tommy show us time after time that I was right. He make already great songs even better. His voice I have no words for. the register is totally crazy. I thought in my younger years I could sing high notes ( yes I could) But as I said Tommy is out of this world. I can only be thankful for all this great music he bless us with. And man I have cried many times when listen to Tommy. As a musician my self I can really understand how one of a kind this guy are.

[@GivenToe]

Yeah he truly has talent! He has a rare ability to turn great songs into something extra! =) Tommy has the gift of song, instrumental playing, songwriting and art. That is rare! He is also very kindhearted.

[@cherripaynegraham4638]

I am 74 & Teommy just gave me goosebunps. I loved the original in high school. He made this song his for his friend. Love to Tommy.

[@tiinakari4055]

My grandson died in age 18 two years ago. He was important for me and only one who loved metal and rock... All music. Miss him. Wrote a metal grandmother from Finland.

[@GivenToe]

I am very very sorry for your loss.

[@helenesvanborg6234]

Tommy's friend loved this song with Disturbed ❤❤ And you are not alone to cry on this one 😭

[@GivenToe]

I am heartbroken yet filled with joy of how good this was. It is a strange feeling. 😢❤

[@helenesvanborg6234]

@@GivenToe I really know what you mean ❤😭

[@ximenalindsey5075]

It's good to know there are other people who also FEEL Tommy's arrangements so deeply. Words are just not enough.

[@GivenToe]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ThunderboltDragon]

By far Tommy's best cover so far (and he have done many good covers). IMO all the emotions he puts into it (anger, sadness, grief) from loosing his friend and recording this song as a tribute is what makes this cover so much better then the others. It's personal and when it's personal I think he subconsciously put a little extra effort into to it to not let his friend down. On top of that Tommy is a very skilled musician with a majestic voice and vocal range.

[@GivenToe]

Yeah this song was really spot on. So very well done 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@marinamucic908]

I don't know if you know this, but Christian's brother Calle is Tommy's former bandmate from Reinxeed and Christian even sang backing vocals on their album Majestic. I knew about Calle, but only realized that about Christian yesterday as I was checking something about the album and I immediately got cold shivers. RIP

[@GivenToe]

I did not know that, thank you for sharing it though, I learn so much from you guys! Yeah that is understandable.

Det här är min go-to när jag behöver få gråta lite. Den rör om djupt i en. Fint att se någon annan bli så berörd. Hans röst i denna går rakt in i hjärteroten så nu sitter jag och gråter åt en reactionvideo.

[@GivenToe]

Aww 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥹🥹🥹❤️🙏🏻

[@PollyChoklad]

Love your reactions 😍 Tommy is outstanding as one of the greatest artists with his voice and skills 🎸 and he should have so much more credit. Sorry for your friend 🙏🕯️

[@Talvi_Sota]

Some very metal tears were shed while watching this video and listening to this voice. Especially with it being a tribute to someone he has lost

[@GivenToe]

Yeah I felt the same 🙏🏻😭

[@kaelynshea5533]

The sound of silence by all means a song that is very emotional to begin with and Tommy's version is really heartbreaking. Yor cry with him I cry with him and many others that were watching this video. That shows how much of his heart is in his music. You feel what he feels with every note. Please tell him that next time you talk to him.

[@GivenToe]

I will 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@dragonlea13]

Thank you for your heartfelt reaction Given Toe. Tommy has the gift of being able to covey intense emotion as he did here, pouring his heart out for his friend Christian, may he Rest In Peace. Much love and blessings Tommy!!

This song is absolutely beautiful and Tommy did a very good job in this cover. It always give me the goosepums, it is really emotional.❤️ Your reaction gives me tears😭

[@GivenToe]

Very beautiful! He sure did. Yeah this really made me feel it inside.... ❤😢

[@niddin3281]

Tommy does not disappoint. I agree that it is much more emotional, since it is dedicated to his departed friend. It is so sad when young people die. I am sorry that you also experienced loss of your friend.

[@GivenToe]

❤❤❤

[@hannehammer4603]

This is the best cover I've heard of this song so far! Tommy is so incredible, he sings with such indescribable emotion, every time I listen to the song I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes again. 💗 So you are not alone with your emotions. I hope you listen and react to a lot more of Tommy. Thank you for this emotional reaction! Tack för denna känslomässiga reaktion! 🙏 I only discovered your channel today because Tommy posted the reaction on Instagram. There is still a lot for me to discover.

[@GivenToe]

It is SO good, and SO beautiful 🙏🏻 So happy you found this channel. I have made a few Tommy reactions, and there will be a LOT more I can assure you 😊 Tack så mycket!

[@Kareggan]

Christian surely loved this song, i know that. Tommy even came to Christian's funeral and sang Soldier of Fortune by Deep Pruple. It was beautiful, and i bet Christian was happy to have Tommy as a friend. Sucha humble man

[@GivenToe]

Wow 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@toddwedman3445]

everytime i here tommy sing this song i think of my brother who pass away last year he would been 46 year old and i cry all the time

[@GivenToe]

I am so sorry for your loss. Music has a tendency to make us remember things. Both good and bad. Fun and sad. Take care and thank you for sharing with me 🙌

[@ingmariohman8242]

Such heartfelt emotions, both from Tommy and from you. I love Tommy's lower register.

[@GivenToe]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Yeah me too!

[@genewebb2837]

ABBAMAN... never be ashamed of your emtions and for crying. i know you dont feel that way but know many or all of us feel the same way and cry along with you.. we are all human and music has that way of touching us in so many ways. stay strong my friend

[@GivenToe]

❤️🙏🏻

[@catarinasyngvesson3854]

Tommy sings His heart out. I feel so sorry for his los. I Lost My husband 6 Months ago and this song means a lot to me.❤️

[@GivenToe]

Yes it really hit me in the heart. I am so sorry to hear that, may he rest in peace ❤😢

[@marinamucic908]

Great. First Tommy made me cry, now you made me cry again. He really did sing his heart out in this song.😢

[@GivenToe]

Yeah I know 😭🙏🏻

[@lauresimon5194]

This cover is so awesome and your reaction so true, so emotional. I've lost my mom in 2015, I was only 22 and this cover by Tommy (and the song So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold) makes me cry every time. I offer you my condolences for the loss of your best friend and every people you could have been lost. I know it's not a lot but it's from my heart

[@GivenToe]

It is an amazing song and cover by Tommy. It must be unbeliavably hard to lose a dear friend so early. I lost family members too so I can relate, but losing a friend is also probably a lot different. I feel for Tommy on this one. Such a beautiful tribute to him ❤

[@TTkingsman]

God morgon! This time it was a little different aspect to listen this...And i'm only going to say, Tommy's voice is just gold and suits perfectly to this song. Awesome and beautiful. No jokes this time. Thanks mate!

[@GivenToe]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Nic-gn4ff]

Such a completely different version of the original - but every bit as moving. I found it very emotional too 😢. We’ve all lost people close to us, some far too young and it’s so unfair ☹️

[@GivenToe]

❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@michaelgask]

Thank you for sharing this, GT, and for talking your way through that very genuine and heartfelt emotion. I hope you got some comfort with your loving family after this. 🙏🏻 Tommy's voice is incredible, going from low to high and from quiet to stadium-splitting effortlessly: I had tears when I watched his video of this, but now, watching you go through the same, I'm leaking like a sieve. Cheers, GT, take care, and I think I need to return to Santa Rosa to cheer myself up 😆

[@GivenToe]

Thank YOU for watching 🙏🏻 Yeah this was unique, and beautiful ❤️ Haha yeah we BOTH need to return to Santa rosa I think 🤣👍🏻 Cheers! You too!

[@marcusfridh8489]

Actually Jonatan died first when he saved Skorpan from the fire, and a little time after that Skorpan died of the TBC and they reunited in Njangiala

[@utbdoug]

Such a hard-hitting song. The passion and talent of Tommy just amplify it all millionfold. He's such a beautiful musician. When you know why he's singing it as well, it brings up so much more emotion. We were all in tears when this was released. It's just a beautiful tribute to a friend and an incredible send off for that friend. Bless you for covering this. Never a dry eye when I watch this or anyone reacting to it. Beautiful reaction and monologue, my friend. You are a good soul. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your reactions. Have a peaceful weekend. Doug.

[@GivenToe]

Thank you dearly Doug 🙏

[@Isabelle.Emerit]

Wow Given Toe 🥲🙏 !! Thank you very much to have shared this moment so moving with us. In turn, through this message, I'd like to share my emotion with you... Obviously this cover is astonishing... The splendid, deeper, powerfull and moving Tommy's voice is amazing 👏 ! But for me, this song is much more than that... In addition to being a wonderfull tribute for his friend, his moving performance transports us to an other world... Thanks to him, we can almost touch those who have crossed the "silence" and who we miss them so much 🥲... Tommy, like you I think, upsets me ! You're very lucky to know him... See you soon and have a great evening ❤️🇲🇫

Giventoe, when I was a boy, I have read "The Brothers Lionheart". I loved the Book, as I loved all books of Astrid Lindgren.

[@GivenToe]

Thats a great book and a great series! The TV movie (the old one) I am very fond of. So are a lot of Swedes. It kind of is part of our DNA. I have not seen the new version (TV series on Netflix) yet but it has gotten very nice reviews. Need to see it!

[@edwardnelson9807]

I'm not going to lie. My mind has been fucked up for a while. And it's amazing how music has helped me through it. I'm not out of it. But damn I feel closer to out of it than it. Thank you for this reaction man

Oh Giventoe. I think whatever Tommy sings is amazing but this especially. Simon and garfunkle was my mother's favourite duo. He as done it justice. My mother died in 2007 from a brain tumour so I can relate to him dedicating this song. I get very emotional hearing this song too. No one can turn the clock back and we have to carry on the best we can. Lovely reaction mate 👌 LOVE IT

Hi mate I played this on Easter Day which was the anniversary of my mums death, was such a fitting song to play that day. I actually had it on repeat until I fell asleep……. My mum was my best friend, she was only 47 when she passed away from cancer and I was just 18
