It (music) is a religious experience for her. And I. Probably many of us

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

Her expressions are priceless, they are in every video visible, in some, like here, more than the other videos. She is so cartoon-ish because of it, like some cartoon character when expressing emotions, because human naturally can't express emotions that well, so in anime and cartoons characters express their emotions very visibly and making it very obvious. Usually you wont see people like her doing such facial emotional expressions. She is a rare being. :D

[@burnttoast26]

*metal singers But yes

[@AleksiJoensuu]

I think maybe something some people don't get is that not all singing is meant to be "pretty" and "likable", and that not all beauty is "nice" and "correct". Or even further, that not all anger is bad or wrong either. This cover is really an excellent showcase of one way of "what angry growling is for", because it shows us an emotional story that wouldn't be complete without anger: It begins in loss and grief at the dearth of communication and connection, which is shown in the abandoned and destroyed instruments and desolate landscapes, and perfectly mirrored in the tender, grieving clean vocals. Humankind is shown as disconnected and lost. The singer(and the band) then attempts to get people to listen to eachother, and to hear the message. But when the message falls to deaf ears, instead of falling back to despair, quietness and acquiescence, they dig into their fury. They won't accept and give up humanity to the worship of money and consumption (the neon god), but *demands* to be heard, *demands* to break through. In essence, the message to me is that culture, music and humanity have to shake themselves free, even by anger, to find themselves, find eachother, to live for eachother and not for neon lights. And David takes us through from those emotions of sorrow and loss, through the build up of hope and confidence, up to a crescendo of anger - and finally back to the calm of a new possibility as the musicians arrive with their songs. And in this context the distorted singing is an absolutely incredible way to convey that emotion. I'd say this is an excellent "gateway" for people who "don't get why people would listen to such ugly things". This is why.

[@whittybeeRN]

I love when metal singers do more tradition, lyric pieces. I feel like the rasp they develop in their voices from their own genre brings a really new depth and flavor to other genres. This is a perfect example.

QUOTE TAKEN FROM REDDIT: "In April 2016, Paul Simon endorsed the cover. Additionally, on April 1, Simon sent Draiman an email praising Disturbed's performance of the rendition on American talk show Conan. Simon wrote, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks." Draiman responded, "Mr. Simon, I am honored beyond words. We only hoped to pay homage and honor to the brilliance of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Your compliment means the world to me/us and we are eternally grateful."

[@Fabs271]

I love the band and the song so I've seen A LOT of vocal coaches review this song and the comments are so spot on. Someone made the comment that the original version was a warning and this version was a call to arms as the warning was ignored. That captured the essence of both songs to me.

It's basically a master class in how to do a cover. Faithful to the feel of the original, but, with it's own uniqueness. It's theirs enough so you can't mistake it for the original.

Yes, this.

[@sugoruyo]

It's also respectful to the original and at the same time an evolution of it. So much so that the original writer actually wrote to the cover artist to praise the cover.

[@markusnaher56]

100% agree, a perfect example what makes a good cover: Respect the original and it's message. Add your own style, but not too much. What is "not too much" strongly depends on the song.

[@Spitx]

True, you have some covers or "interpretations" that bring a whole new meaning to lyrics, a new depth and sometimes they are even more rich than the original without taking away the value. It's what I think about sweet dreams by marylin manson or imagine by a perfect circle... It takes really a lot of genius to make those arrangements and end with a tribute.

Raised as a Cantor, Davie naturally looks at a song as all consonants 😉 Joking aside, every single vocal approach, from the rounded beauty of bel canto to the brutality of Metal screaming, has a function in the expressive pallet of singing. This is why modern singers like Draiman and Floor Jansen are so interesting: because they understand that the brutal sounds developed in Metal singing can be tools to juxtapose rage (or scorn) with beauty and sensitivity. And they have the technique to do it safely, and the musicality to use it where belongs in a song.

I love this song the way Disturbed sings it. this is a video of Draiman worming up during sound checks with the song 'Unchained Melody'. loudwire.com/watch-disturbed-david-draiman-warm-up-unchained-melody-soundcheck/ About David, some have told you that he is a classically trained vocalist and does exercises to safely make his voice raspy. Look at his mouth and jaw positioning when he is holding those raspy words. And also how he holds on the 'N' in silence. I also read that he has or had bad acid reflux disease and needed surgery to repair the valve between the esophagus and stomach. One report also said that he has a 6 octave range, which may be stretching it a bit BUT i'm not the professional. If you see my 'profile pic' you can see who I was for 21 year ('90--'11), well who I still am but no longer active. In the middle of that time I spent 10 days working at the site (Ground Zero) in New York City. When I hear this song, I see those sights, the pictures, the videos, the pile in front of me. I didn't search for people, but I performed support roles. Mostly I cleaned FDNY and NYPD guys off as they got off the pile to go into the rehab or to leave. And so many of those lyrics voice what those images were.

S&G's version was haunting and ethereal, like an unsettling dream you can't quite remember when you wake up. This version is the nightmare that jars you awake and haunts you for days.

The disconnect between people has haunted me my whole life.

Yes I cried the first time as well. Awesome version

It seems to me he is challenging you to really hear the sounds of silence.

I’m absolutely floored here. My first time ever watching your channel and I honestly never knew you existed. With that being said, after watching you and the way your feelings and emotions show so naturally in your eyes and in your face, I had tears streaming down my face. Suddenly this amazing song faded into the background of watching your reaction. To say that you possess an absolutely incredible natural beauty would be like saying the song you were listening to was a “neat little tune.”

As he was growing up he was trained as a cantor. Then when he got into metal, he sought ought a way to do the gravel and scream of metal without hurting his voice. The person who helped him be able to sustain this style of singing for this long was an opera singer. They taught him how to sing with his whole head (i.e. the nose scrunch when he has the gravel) and be able to switch from his metal voice to the cleaner purer sound.

Its amazing what rock singers with classical training sound like. Some of my favorite singers have that as a back story for how the learned to sing.

You can tell at the end there that he is using not just his lungs and his throat and his diaphragm, but every single cubic inch of his skull to produce that wonderful sound.

I dont think anyone will do a better cover of this song than disturbed did. The transition from sadness to rage is so fitting for the song

[@lorimarie8677]

The original was a warning. This version is David pissed off that we didn’t listen. He was meant to do this song. It is the best cover ever.

Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” would like a word.

[@beavis5591]

@@KeriKaufmann Johnny's hurt is trash, man can barely speak at this stage in his life let alone sing, it is a very powerful performance because of the song and a dieing legend performing it be take out the sentimental bs and musically it is garbage

[@Thefluff99]

@@beavis5591 How can you say it's trash in one sentence and then say it's a very powerful performance in the next? NiN's original Hurt was emotional, sentimental BS, as you would claim. Trent himself said that Cash's performance was better than any version of the song he ever did.

This is the best version of this song, A way to bring back an old song back to the world, I have talked to people, and they never heard the older version before!! He is incredible as an artist and also has a huge heart for people around him don't let his ruff singing deceive you!!
