TWIN BROTHER FIRST TIME HEARING Disturbed - "The Sound Of Silence" REACTION

[@Wombat32]

I was in the audience for this performance. As soon as he started singing, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, in the room sat up and stared without moving for the remainder. It was honestly a life-changing experience. Most of these videos cut off the applause at the end, but it was deafening and sustained for at least 5 minutes.

Hey, I’m 43 and like all kinds of music and obviously love this version of Sounds of Silence...but what you boys do here is more powerful than you think. It teaches younger people who might not be receptive toward different music genres to be more open minded. It also shows older folk who think the younger generations don’t appreciate “good music” that, Yeah, actually they do. Keep up the good work fellas.

[@MS-km1ue]

You nailed it. I absolutely agree. The twins have actually made me appreciate the songs they review even more bc of their own passion and respect for the art no matter what the genre. Whenever I am feeling frustrated or even somewhat disgruntled after a hard news day, I tune into their channel and recharge my positive feelings. They always remind me there is hope we can all still find common ground within American culture and art despite our complicated and painful history. What’s so cool is they are Millennials listening to and appreciating a Boomer generation song performed by a GenXer. The Sound of Silence has definitely survived the test of time!

[@gailkshaw]

According to Paul Simon, he wrote it when he was 21. Before Kennedy was assassinated. His words regarding the song - “The key to "The Sound of Silence" is the simplicity of the melody and the words, which are [based on] youthful alienation. It's a young lyric, but not bad for a 21-year-old. It's not a sophisticated thought, but a thought that I gathered from some college reading material. It wasn't something that I was experiencing at some deep, profound level - nobody's listening to me, nobody's listening to anyone - it was a post-adolescent angst, but it had some level of truth to it, and it resonated with millions of people. Largely because it had a simple and singable melody, ‘

And Simon and Garfunkel were not wrong about it being both a sign of what’s wrong and a dark turning point in history. We got the CRA through but have been fighting the backlash ever since. I’ve always said, there’s been a 75 year Cold War with Russia and a 160 year Cold War with the confederacy.

Another reason he wasn’t happy with this performance was that his voice was somewhat auto tuned. The average person couldn’t tell but during the performance he could hear it in the feedback. This man is a classically trained musician... he doesn’t need auto tuning

[@steffenk.561]

@@steffenk.561 I’m not sure if auto tuned is the correct term and I am desperately trying to find where I read that info.

While performing the song he was hearing corrections to his voice and it pissed him off that they didn’t listen to what he said.

[@rohatmora5538]

The original version was a warning against the rise of technology (Television / now 'social media') - causing less and less 'human' interaction (think about how people brag they have 6,000 'friends' on Facebook, or how people will 'text' someone whom is literately sitting next to them, rather than just 'talk' to them). Disturbed's version is equated to the 'rage' of someone because those warnings were not listened to - and how its becoming so 'uncomfortable' to even just 'talk' to someone without worrying about offending or being offended, because it feels easier to just 'use social media' instead of our own voices. The short version is its a warning about humanity losing what makes us 'human' - and instead embracing the 'neon god' (tech) which lets us 'communicate' but also leaves us in silence - as we forget HOW to communicate with each other as human beings.

wow I love it when the current generation can be amazed by this song...That shows me many are going in the right direction

[@judyneale2996]

Watching the two of you reacting to this song and "In the Air Tonight" is the best day to start a rainy Saturday down here in Richmond Va. with volume turned up loud. Stay humble. Would love to see a shirt that says "It's a Banger" and this is "Cold Man". I'd wear it with pride and when people asked me what does that mean all I would say go on KZbin and you'll see for yourself.

[@sebrinaphelps6341]

Such a moving song. Video with it makes it perfect!

[@mikewarker4445]

This guy is a heavy metal singer. What a voice, like you said Who knew?

[@eileenhunter9961]

I love how open you two are. If only everyone was.

[@amandawarren8856]

I was lucky enough to see him perform this live. I'll never forget the feeling.

[@johnbradley1351]

Probably the best cover of any song I have ever heard, and I really liked the original. Great respect for you guys, you seem to appreciate all the music you showcase, nice to see that music can be loved by all generations

[@terrykammel-mcteague2765]

Fabulous and passionate performance! Thanks guys, you are the best. God bless and stay safe.

David, the lead singer was originally trained as a Jewish Cantor in the Temple. What a talent. 🙏🥰

[@robertaclark6079]

OMG! Not only am I loving the purity of these two's reactions, I am being educated on different artists and genres at the same time. This 68 yr old white grandma, a Woodstock nation classic rock chick, just found Disturbed and love them! Keep on rocking in the free world, guys. P.S. I IMMEDIATELY subscribed. First KZbin subscription ever!👍✌💓

[@jessicashenefield1546]

Disturbed is a fascinating group! And I have a touch of envy that you got to enjoy Hendrix, Joplin, et al in real time.

[@Sheltieshangrila]

David's rendition of this song is one of the most beautiful covers ever. It's one where you need to put headphones on, close your eyes and lean back. Then you find yourself singing along and doing crazy facial expressions and hand movements, simply b/c you're immersed. You're lost in another world and just can't help yourself.

[@grace4u850]

Your genuine excitement about this song carries the whole experience to the next level!!!!!! Thanks for being a Blessing!!!! SWEET!!!!!!!! Keep it coming!!!!!!!!!!

[@noneofyourbusiness2281]

the love language that we know as "music".... the feeling that happens when the right soprano pitch hits and all you hear is the perfectly skin tingling moment that music whispers sweet nothings to you.... and to then watch another human experience the same lovely moment and you already know what the music is whispering to them... and it makes you smile

[@pennymccormick3471]

He is a trained Cantor. His voice is a gift...

[@michellegibson2234]

I have 3 sons and a daughter. I want them to be just like you. My daughter is thirty and has 4 children . She wants them to be just like you too. U guys are the epitome of brotherly love. All love and warmest of everything from australia

[@Droopydrawers]

Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it

[@harrisfairmont]

The best rendition of the song. His voice thrill you clear to the bone

[@lin8148]

Disturbed...fantastic!!!

[@annebourbonnais7558]

one of the most beautiful song

[@kathys6402]

Hey guys! It is hard to believe that David was quite ill when he did this live performance. That is why he is sitting down, he was afraid he would not be able to stand for the whole performance. I think that him doing this so well live and it almost exactly matches the studio version, shows just what a great vocalist David is. By the way, those "big drums" are timpani, or also called kettle drums, which are typically used in symphony orchestras for classical music. Happy Thanksgiving & I hope you both have a great weekend!

[@JoeSmith-iv3sf]

How many times are you ppl gonna post this shit on these damn reactions. Did he walk up hill both ways barefoot in the snow to school also?

[@jenniferfalke7586]

This version of the song is a miracle, I love it. I think, I even like it better than the original Version. Because it is such a melancholy mood.And you think:" which life/experiences must a man have had to be able to sing like that." It is great to see your feelings about it, too. :-) carry on with your videos. :-)

[@SacredWaves]

Watch their actual video, if you haven't yet. Just frigging Epic!!

[@justwantapeacefullife1863]

I just love these dudes.

[@FixedVariable]

I hadn't seen that. Dave Dramine's voice is fantastic and he didn't even TEAR into his voice in this version!!

[@amandaschlumpfbernardino5532]

Another favorite song! Disturbed’s version of this song gives me chills. His voice is amazing.

[@lauracooper6955]

Never saw that performance! Goosebumps! Can you imagine being in the audience? I think I woulda cried.

[@debyforrester3364]

i love simon an garfunkel's sound of silence, but this version by disturbed hit me so deep to the core. amazin, i could listen to it over an over. his voice is awesome, he actually didnt think his voice was was made to do this. how wrong could he have been. so glad he did it.

[@deborahkehoe7720]

I did the same thing. Just came a cross it now and this is the third time I've listened.

[@jessicashenefield1546]

I grew up with the original, but prefer Disturbed's cover. It's simply next-level. The power behind it... my vocabulary doesn't do it justice.

[@kathyy4734]

Love you two and this song, excellent!!

[@elizabethneterval1531]

Thank you! I had never heard this cover before.

[@MrLookitspam]

The timpani drums and his voice is more than magical.

[@Shay-nu7id]

My Mom used to play the original ...I still remember . I was around 4 my Uncle had just returned from the Vietnam War and would sit and stare saying nothing ...he lived with us ...my Mom was 20 yrs old . It was just us...my Mom was a Foster Child she only had her brother. She would cry because he would not speak ...trauma.. he spoke finally but only to me. I went into Foster Care and never saw him again . This song reminds me of him I wish I could see him again.

Shay ❤️

[@taramckinney6402]

Omg ♥️♥️ that makes this song even more haunting just imagining that time of our country. So sad for all those going men who saw too much and suffered in silence ♥️♥️

[@lindagourlay1892]

Dear Shay.. I hope you have found some happiness ♥️

[@SherPettit]

Hauntingly Beautiful 💫David has one of the best most powerful voices out there. He was sick with the flu during this performance.

[@Peter-bf2ou]

Best reaction to this song EVER!!!!

[@68Candigurl]

David Draiman, lead vocalist, has the sexiest male vocals on the planet! He give me chills! Try "Hold onto the memories".
