VOCALIST’S FIRST TIME HEARING AND REACTING TO DISTURBED- SOUND OF SILENCE

[@FascinatingLola]

This man has lyrics that melts someone’s soul oh

[@jeremyday1611]

Not his lyrics but his rendition is absolutely perfect!

[@jeanmarienadal7268]

My same thoughts.I always cry it.

[@lancehandy6648]

I think you mean vocals. But yeah I agree!

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

Yes, David's vocals, his melodies AND his lyrics....he not only has a voice to die for, but writes the melodis AND the lyrics too. Lord.....what talent.

[@Hwunitum]

He didn’t write these lyrics, it’s a cover (but an amazing one).

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

David Draiman......a voice to die for!!

[@hunther8751]

I listed to this song a thousand times already, it’s my favorite version of this song and it’s amazing 🤩

[@PemisCorner]

Hunt Her Awwww.

[@discussdebate]

I've said this before and I'll say it again... A 1965 song written by Paul Simon re-imagined by Disturbed in 2015; datz 50 years!! For me, this is by far the best song these past 5 years!! This song literally ambushes you... catches everyone by surprise! The powerhouse vocals, the amazing arrangement, etc... just a great song reimagined by a Heavy Metal band... done right!!

[@PemisCorner]

Douglas Steven Luna I totally agree

[@stevehughes6097]

if you don't listen to this and get tears in your eyes, then you have no soul

[@nedahopkins996]

Been singing this song for what about 50 years. But this cover is the the best

[@stevehughes6627]

People of all genres love this version! And the way his power builds and builds to an amazing crescendo...wonderful!

[@niewolnik72]

Welcome to metal!!!!!!!!

[@conniehonsinger2643]

David Draiman is a classically trained singer. He touches places with his voice that I didn't even know existed

[@PemisCorner]

I totally agree with you

[@christineknox7094]

Notice the boat of musicians at the end of the video crossing the river to the people on shore with sheet music in hand. They need each other to end the silence with music. Music is the universal language as BTS is proving at the moment while singing/writing lyrics in Korean with a world wide audience listening. Good Music crosses the language barrier. Opera goers have known this for decades. LOL

[@taobarb1]

David Draiman was classically trained to be a cantor in a Synagogue throughout his school years, so he is immersed in feeling what it’s like to sing to god. He has a 3 octave plus 4 note range and profound vocal control. He’s now in his mid 40’s and is married with a child...so he’s been through life. When Paul Simon wrote the song in 1961 and performed it acoustically, it was a flop, but their manager add 1960’s folk/rock elements. So a 21 year old song writer and mature men who perform this song will be singing from a different perspective. People have said that Paul Simon warned us about alienation from other people, and Disturbed performed this in a way that shows us what happens when we don’t heed the warning. The video showed hope at the end. It seems like everyone gets very deep emotional responses from this cover. It’s a song for our time now. Speak to one another and don’t just talk (or text). Please actually listen - don’t just hear. Stay connected to one another and don’t look for the truth in shiny or superficial things. Deep huh? I’m glad you listened!

Beautiful

[@janmol1625]

Hi dear, i Love this Song, you Must hear it real loud, Close your eyes, and feel His Soul by einging it, its marvelous

[@mjking9019]

I love Simon and Garfunkel, who originally recorded and released this song. I grew up listening to them since my mom's a huge fan of theirs. That said I love Disturbed's cover. His voice is powerful but totally in control. He makes this song take on a different tone and meaning in a way.

[@PemisCorner]

Awww thank you 🙏

[@chriscummings6997]

Great reaction, sister. A voice on loan from God.

[@PemisCorner]

Awww thank you so much

[@sandyleewhite]

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 an amazing rollercoaster ride, slowly heading to the top, then almost crashing to the bottom...

[@PemisCorner]

Awwww thank you so much 😊

[@65presleychick]

BRILLIANT!!

[@dlmullins9054]

As powerful as this version is, the songwriter and first performer was truly a genius. Simon and Garfunkel ! In the early sixties! Wow!

[@rickjanosky6191]

His voice is a combination of a locomotive and honey

[@garyleonard9110]

Original by Paul simon and garfunkel from a dream Paul had in 1964 before cell phone and computer and social media listen to the song

[@ericperea3323]

You need to hear reason to fight by the same band

[@PemisCorner]

Really? I’m definitely going to check it out 🙏

[@mcove09]

Love love love!!!!

[@PemisCorner]

Thank you 🙏

[@AmyaLanai]

I loveee this song!!!

[@PemisCorner]

Amya Lanai Awww thank you sis

[@mohygen2882]

Listen to the original from Simon and Garfunkel. Then you will understand the full impact of this version.🙂

[@RoadLessTraveledMedia]

your happiness is infectious! :)

[@PemisCorner]

Awww thank you 🙏

[@melodyfedoris2308]

Love your reaction 💓 my favorite 2 quotes on David's voice are 1 God to David : do you want the voice of an angel or demon David : yes 2 simon and garfunkles version was a warning that we are no longer connecting to each other Disturbed's version is the rage that we didn't heed the warning.

[@PemisCorner]

Awww. Thank you so much 😊

[@tayilay]

Best song ever 🤫

[@nanaskitchen2yours977]

Your Chanel is amazing, love all these reactions videos👍👌😍. My thumbs👍 and fully watched for you🤗

[@PemisCorner]

Nana at MyKitchen2yours Awww thank you sis

[@MrBilldo426]

You should react to their song "Down with the Sickness" It's about human nature. But also a very empowering song if your in a life or death situation.👍

[@kathrynadair7575]

Please watch the live version, it's even better!!! I love watched both about a million times! The other songs by Disturbed are fantastic 😁❣

[@PemisCorner]

Oh okay. Thank you so much

[@karencimino8843]

He is a god

[@lisaschultz469]

I needed to change my undies after listening to this.....

[@jeremyday1611]

You got a sub from this reaction!! Do more please!!

[@PemisCorner]

Yay 💃🏽💃🏽 Thank you 🙏❤️

[@raptormods]

You are my favorite girl I'm in love I think lol. Your beautiful and great channel 😃

[@PemisCorner]

Awwww thank you so much 😊

[@tonypalmer7779]

Brilliant reaction to a great reworking of the song

[@PemisCorner]

Thank you so much

[@fazza33]

Try reacting to Disturbed "Hold on to Memories" and "The Light," Both are amazing and a vastly different side of the band.

[@jimclifford1241]

Love your genuine, amazingly emotional reaction young lady!!!!

[@PemisCorner]

Awww thank you 🙏

[@Jedi4Life-u5y]

Originally created in the 1960's this epic song can apply to any era and still be very relevant. A lot of people make the solid argument that it refers to our era's obsession with tech and the fact that we seem to be losing the ability to talk and listen to one another (quick to escalate a disagreement into an argument). My opinion: I see it as a representation of the pain too many people have felt in America, especially over the course of the last year. The rage in the song is directed towards the silence coming from lawmakers, the people who are actually in a position to make change but do nothing but send their 'thoughts and prayers'. As it builds to it's crescendo it feels like it is issuing a challenge to everyone who feels this same frustration. The challenge is to refuse to be silent and to let your voices be heard (Nov. 3 elections). Please feel free to share your interpretation. BTW, I loved your reaction. Keep up the great work!

[@michaelfredgren1342]

First, understanding that this song was originally written in the 60s, it becomes hard to have a proper frame of reference. I define the Sound of Silence = the noise that is created when effective communication is disrupted between people. This disruption can take many forms. lack of education, technological distractions, prejudices, ego, etc. (AKA not just tech obsession). So the song starts with him talking to darkness (depression?) again. While he was sleeping , he dreamed a vision (what that vision is is a little unclear) and then went out into the world (on old cobblestone streets) in bad weather (turn collar to the cold and damp) to share his vision. But he saw a neon light (television in the 60s and cell phones in 00s?) that was causing people to converse less with one another. People started talking without speaking (saying pointless things like gossiping or catch phrases from TV shows) and hearing without listening (in one ear and out the other or disregarding someone's comment because of who they are instead of what they are actually saying). This breakdown in interpersonal communication grew (like cancer), caused his words about his vision to not be shared (like silent raindrops fell) and joined the multitude of lost visions and ideas (echo into the well of silence). Now people "worship" tech so much that they miss the simple truths (words of the prophets) that are all around them (on subway wall or slums). People would rather be "entertained" than "educated". Now fast-forward to today, and we see Distrubed's cover with much more angst and frustration at not listening to the warning given nearly 60 years ago.

[@robgoodchild9057]

Great reaction.. I liked your enthusiasm..

[@PemisCorner]

Awwww thank you so much

[@sydneywellington_cazadora]

- The original is pure poetry and melancholy. Dramian takes you on an epic journey! -Draiman covers roughly two-and-a-half octaves from bottom to top. His vocals are so distinctive. - How Paul Simon Felt To Have Disturbed Transform Classic Song to Heavy Metal kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKWxl6qlgKljjqM -

Nice...please reaction felix cover adele when we were young .terima kasih

[@PemisCorner]

Sure I will definitely check it out

[@satortenet]

Now you have to do Down with the Sickness, by Disturbed!

[@PemisCorner]

Okay sir!! 😂

[@emmef7970]

Official video is so cool!

[@brunohilpert1948]

Besser geht's einfach nicht

[@AzezelFallen]

i believe exhilarating is the word you were looking for.

[@PemisCorner]

Exactly 😂

[@FascinatingLola]

Your reaction is awesome ❤️

[@fromjeddahiam]

[@MDStorm123]

5 year old song, on the radio every day... and not heard? Living under a rock?

[@vanessabright1549]

I love this !!!!

[@PemisCorner]

vanessa bright Awww I’m glad you do

[@rogerwest603]

Your emotions are great to see but the Lyrics are the story behind the Vocals! David is a Terrific Singer and yes his facial expressions can scare you with these lyrics! But . . . without these 1960's lyrics the vocals would be silent! Read the lyrics again and you'll see what I mean! This song is as relevant today as it was then but with very different reasons! Back then it was about technology like Neon lights now it's about Social Media!

[@PemisCorner]

Awwww thank you 🙏. I totally agree with you

[@fabiansaldana5830]

I challenge you! I challenge you to react to Terry Jacks 1974 song Seasons in the Sun

[@PemisCorner]

Challenge accepted 😂

[@ImFrelled]

Oh God, I remember that song. I was in high school when it came out. "We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun, but the hills that we climbed, were just seasons out of time." I still remember the lyrics! lol ETA: It came out right around the same time as "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphey. I loved both of those songs.

[@vanessabright1549]

Nice reaction dear

[@PemisCorner]

vanessa bright Thank you so much 😊

Can’t wait to start unfolding them one after the other. I really appreciate it

[@dejns6945]

You heard but didn't listen. What's the message of the song???

[@FascinatingLola]

Where’s my drink? I can’t find it. 🤧

[@PemisCorner]

Look to the left na 😂

[@steveshelton5036]

The original song was done by Simon & Garfunkel.

[@PemisCorner]

Really? Do you suggest I react to it?

[@steveshelton5036]

I’ll leave that up to you. The original is a beautiful song, but more mellow than the one you reacted to.

[@steveshelton5036]

If you would like something different try something done by Pentatonix or Home Free !!

[@PemisCorner]

Steve Shelton okay .. thank you so much, I will definitely check it out

[@heikkieronen5226]

Pemis..

[@dianesorensen2549]

Compare this version to the original. Night and day but the disillusioned sentiment is the same.

[@kimberlystark3944]

Get ready for a religious experience!

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

I'm not sure if you realized this is a cover of a Simon and Garfunkel song from about 50 years ago. Some constructive criticism you talk too fast please slow down so that you're listen to her can follow you without having to keep backing up and going forward to catch what you're saying

[@Keyboardje]

You cut off the beginning of the video. It's there because it is part of the story it tells. :(

[@drendaparfitt7417]

Angst

[@luzvel79tiscareno67]

Can't even understand her language

[@drdassler]

I would rather listen to silence, I can't stand fake-ass, forced voices.

[@heikkieronen5226]

... Really, 😬...... If you give mivsomerhi.,. Im bored....... Take care.... Im Off....
