Voice Coach Reacts | SOUND OF SILENCE | DISTURBED | Live on Conan O'Brien

[@rowansmith6076]

I’ve listened to this song over 200 times and, like an addict, I keep seeking new reaction videos. David hits notes singers can only dream about, and that rasp... it makes me emotional every time. And for the reactions, I love seeing the eyes of the reviewer when he hits the line “and the people Bowed and prayed...” that’s where it hits a unique level and they all hear it and react the same way I did. Just amazing. My favorite cover of all time.

[@thomasirvin4159]

Exactly right. All ages and backgrounds can't help but be amazed with this performance.

[@johneberhard8282]

Yep. There with you. I remember the first time I heard it...man the goose bumps. By far the best cover version of any song ever.

[@tonytucents]

This is without a doubt the GREATEST cover song of all time!

I just can't stand the autotune.

[@michaeljourneysr.8243]

No one, I've seen commented on the absolute respect the audience showed by not making a sound throughout their performance. Hands down the best cover I've heard in my sixty some years.!!!

[@jaymel4691]

There wasn't a peep from the audience until the last note faded away, then of course they exploded! They knew they were witnessing something special. I heard somewhere that the Conan audience gave a 10 minute standing ovation- not sure if that's true, but I hope it is!

[@rat4spd]

As good as Disturbed and David are, I believe they managed to put lightning in a bottle and will be remembered for this song for a long time.

[@briancox5530]

Paul Simon said Disturbed finished the message they were trying to convey.

[@barbarajupp1013]

Simon was the warning David's is you didn't listen.

[@laurathena]

Oh man, I feel... Only did they finish the message, but they truly delivered it. And this is coming from a person, who has a long history with this song. Listening to this version makes me sit down and truly listen to it.

[@awalk56]

Yep.

[@jasonharter4876]

@@barbarajupp1013 Please explain that position. I have seen dozens of people make the same exact comment without any further elaboration. I am TRULY trying to figure out what that means. Simon said the song was basically about the inability to communicate with each other. What was Simon's warning, and what is David delivering from that warning??

[@genesishep]

@@jasonharter4876 I'll try my best to put my thoughts on this into words since you asked but I would say simply that it's all in the delivery of the message. S&G's original version came from a light, almost flowery sounding "be careful/watch out or this could happen" warning message to the world. In contrast, Disturbed's version is presented in a somber, haunting and dark tone that conveys a feeling of such immense loss that we can't help but look around and see that this has ACTUALLY OCURRED in our world. So much of the original S&G warning message has come to be that it would be impossible to release this song today without highlighting the fact that we have reached a point in time where we ARE NO LONGER COMMUNICATING with each other, the warning has been ignored. When listening to Disturbed's version I find myself unable to hold back tears because in that moment I can FEEL what we have all lost. Overuse of technology which separates us from one another while promising to do the opposite. Technology meant to broaden our ability to reach across the world and communicate with people we will likely never meet in person has been used in such a manner that it walls us off from those closest to us. A quick look around us will show one person after another staring blankly at their phone screens while sitting next to another person who is doing the very same thing. Then we look at Social Media, meant again to give us the ability to communicate en masse but misused by the majority who write post after post about nothing at all. That very same person in many cases are ignoring their family and friends closest to them. On the world stage our ability to have true discourse and civil debate has fallen off the rails resulting in tribal mentality, hate, conspiracy, and general refusal to even attempt to understand others opinions. When you take all of this in, Disturbed's version starting off as somber and ramping up to anger when screaming out in attempts to reach others falls on deaf ears the reality of the songs true meaning slaps you in the face. In the end I can simply say that while S&G's version has made me think, it has never made me cry, not once. Disturbed's version leaves me teary eyed or worse every time I listen to it because of the emotion it conveys and the sadness of what has become of us breaks my heart. If this has helped you understand at all could you please let me know? I've tried my best but perhaps others could word it better than I.

[@charliesmith3217]

The emotion he exhibits in the last verse is incredible. Notice how his fist is clenched, he's driving his emotional soul into the song. A truly rare talent.

[@tophatkidstv]

I love the way you described this as David holding court.

[@mamaalaska]

When he was performing this live he literally had a very bad flu but did not cancel. This makes his performance extraordinary!

[@jaymel4691]

He is a true professional and a very dedicated, hard worker. I hope he took a nice long break after this to rest.

[@michaelpalma5882]

I saw Disturbed in concert last February for my birthday and then they did this you could feel the awe in the air, he sounded absolutely amazing

[@Jdwdogg]

I've also heard it live and it was indeed amazing!

[@Layniacsofficial]

I saw them in concert performing down with the sickness. This band is excellent. I wouldnt put it pass them to make a great cover of a Disney song neither lmao Imagine disturb creating a cover for under the sea 😂😂😂

[@salvatorerizzo8640]

Me 2. Brought tears to me and my wife.

[@Ryl0o]

David has a golden voice

[@RayDeMoss]

I saw Disturbed in concert as well about a year after they released this cover and I was just blown away. Like many others, I never tire of hearing him sing this song.

[@stevemanart]

This performance was the first time I heard Disturbed's cover. I was at a friend's place with his massive TV and surround sound TV, and as my parents listened to 60s and 70s rock as I grew up I was very familiar with the original version. So hearing David's performance of it here made me tear up. Mind you, I'm a 6'4" walking stereotype of a disable veteran, and yet I still teared up in front of other people as David's performance of the this song finally made its meaning hit, and it hit like a freight train.

[@LojakZeRo]

This version of the song makes me incredibly emotional as well brother. As much as I love the original this is how the song should be played. Thank you for your service!

[@salvatorerizzo8640]

Brother. See it live and if you have to borrow the $ get a good seat. Listen to it live. Bring a tissue 2. Packed arena and not a whisper till it was over. 1 of the best I've ever seen!!!

[@barbarajupp1013]

Paul's was the warning David's is you didn't listen.

[@williamwooten9437]

As a Disabled Veteran I want to TY for your service.

[@LionTheHeart]

I had to swallow hard too... how many songs can have this effect on a human being.

[@jaymel4691]

I love, love, LOVE how David is able to switch back and forth between these soaring, clear, angelic notes to a raspy growl, and immediately back to a crystal clear tone! Doing that rasp correctly without wrecking your voice is NOT easy, but he makes it seem effortless. It seems effortless, because he's just that good. He has amazing voice control and such a beautiful voice. 🤩😍

[@nickarmitt4722]

Every person that reacts to this either cries or wells up.

[@seanstark5948]

100%….this is majestic

[@jessecosta9483]

Why do I tear up every time

[@Uldihaa]

I think it's incredible the way he can fry his voice to get that grit in there toward the end, and then scrub it clean with "whispered" so that it regains those crystal clear notes for "sound of silence". This is a man that has mastered safe vocal distortion.

[@elevown]

Its not technically 'fry' - its not being done on his vocal cords but on his false vocal cords- so he wont actually 'fry' his voice.

[@Theorcman2008]

@@elevown The term is vocal fry. Because the SOUND it makes. Not because it frys your voice smart one.

[@UncoordinatedPixie]

I never get tired of this song. I never get tired of hearing David talk or sing and I also never get tired of vocal coaches like you and Tara Simon reacting to it. Thanks for brightening my night.

[@terriallen8203]

It would be great if you could just listen to the whole song first without interrupting and commenting throughout the performance,I find that rude

[@philvollman9506]

Lyrical audacity. Vocal audacity. Symphonic audacity. Said differently? This song is magnificent!

[@whereisthebeach8664]

I have watched this version a million times and every single time it gives me chills. This is by far the best cover of all time.

[@lacyinmon1004]

I cry every time I hear this version

[@marcikeesler6060]

One of the things about his performance that I just love is how easily and flawlessly David can transition from the vocal fry to the pure, clear sound. I think it's best demonstrated in the two-word phrase "tenement halls", where "tenement" is rough and gravelly and "halls" is such a pure, clear tone. There was no strain, no seeming effort in the transition at all. Stunning!

[@popland1977]

This performance in many ways reminds me of Whitney Houston's version of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You. They both start off very small and almost fragile and end with such an emotionally charged boom. Both Houston and Dusturbed also completely made this song new. Btw, I love your positive, sunny demeanour

[@234tuust]

I really appreciate that you gave David another moment to speak in your reaction part. I'm one of those men over 50 whose soul this song has touched deeply. Hand on heart, I’ve never felt anything even remotely close to this for any other song or piece of music in my entire life. I've never been much of a music fan. Sure, I've liked some songs more than others, but nothing that would make me listen to the same track dozens and dozens of times (now probably over 100). After hearing this song for the first time, I didn't want to listen to anything else for an entire week. I even bought myself a good pair of headphones just for this song.

[@DeRochaJ]

Thank you for sharing your reaction to this amazing performance. It was much appreciated.

[@randygoforth]

You cannot watch this without saying Wow! Incredible! Amazing voice!

[@jerolddavis]

No matter how many times I listen to this, I never get over 2 things: The absolute richness of his voice, especially in the first 2 verses, and the masterful control he has over the distortion he uses.

This was absolutely a once in a lifetime performance!

[@dribbel77]

Disturbed has been around for 20 years. They're really a fraction of what they were in the early 2000s. Most newer fans wouldn't even recognize them.

[@onenacho1237]

I love this version!! How is it possible that the live version is so much better than the recorded version? Less nasally for sure. Perfection!

[@corinne661]

I have listened to 3 versions of theirs over and over again over several days and have not tired of it. He is freaking amazing. The very first time I heard it it was accompanied by a video of September 11th and it put me in a mesmerized state. Not kidding. The timpani blows me away as well. This is better than the recording and there is one even better! It's a live duet performance with Myles Kennedy in Houston in 2016. Listen with eyes closed.... MG!!!

[@powerdavid6235]

The flu but yes. His words "sick as a dog"

[@rebekahredus3963]

David was ill and at first he even wondered if he would be able to play the song. Managed. It was amazing.

[@rpmevo8]

Oh, I didn't know you finally reacted to this performance yesterday. Remember asking you to do this months ago. This is my favourite rendition of sound of silence. What an incredible singer David Draiman is! This version haunted me for months…

[@snoflysse8844]

Hi Coach! Thanks for the reaction and analysis! This is my all time favorite rendition of 'Sound of Silence' which is saying something considering that I'm old enough to have listened the original vinyl when I was a child. Many covers came and went and I thought I'll never hear one that would top the original. Until I saw Disturbed sing it live on Conan. He brought new life to this song and I daresay it is better than the soft tones of Simon and Garfunkel.

[@steveszanto1581]

Then with the metal texture just adds so much dimension you are transported. Thank you for taking us with you 😘💕 I love you💖

[@jonathancapps1103]

Draiman was trained as a cantor in the synagogue during his youth. You should really check out David Draiman and Myles Kennedy singing this as a duet. And I haven't really explored your reaction playlist yet, but if you're new to Myles Kennedy, you really should react to Alter Bridge performing Blackbird. Kennedy is an amazing singer.

[@ShanLiB]

I loved this reaction to a performance that has entranced me for a year now. I can't get enough of listening to it. One of the things I noticed David doing that seems a bit unusual is holding the note at the ending syllable on the last consonant instead of on the vowel preceding that consonant. Also, there were several times when he would just stop a note at the end of a word where every other version I've heard drags it out. Those stops fit the music perfectly and were so crisp.

[@Me-lb8nd]

I rather like the way he does that on the consonant!

I agree completely about this version bringing out the lyrics so much more. I’ve heard the original S&G version dozens of times over the years, it never really listened to the lyrics.

[@CgGoil]

As a person who loves metal, it always makes me a little sad, when someone gets surprised that a metalband can make such a soft and tender song. I do understand why, though. The genre is a hard one to understand, just like other extreme genres, like opera, fusionjazz aso, and it takes time to get what the feeling in metal is about, but there are a lot of really skilled musicians in metal, and there are a lot of really beautiful ballads in metal, too.

[@TheVoiceLoveCo]

Aw, thanks for being so sweet about my learning curve. I really do appreciate it. I'm learning so much about metal in this process and becoming a real fan. I love great musicians, no matter what music they play. I stand in awe of the years and years these metal musicians have invested into their craft to make such stunning art. AND I'm learning that metal fans are some of the kindest most generous hearts on the planet. The beauty if it all has simply left me stunned. I'm so grateful that I took a leap to step out and do this weird thing of making reaction videos. Even though my colleagues 'poo-poo' it, I'm having a blast! And at my age I no longer give a rat's hind end what they think, so that's freedom, too! 😂 So much to be grateful for. Thanks for making my day with this wonderful comment!

I prefer to call it diverse😀.

[@anikiwi]

CgGoil well said. Also quite often, when you dig in, you discover many metal musicians have prior classical training.

[@Fostermom4chis]

David is a Jewish Cantor...

[@corinne661]

Yes, like with Pat Benatar.

[@ashscott6068]

It just shows that "classical" training is incomplete. And that's ALWAYS the case with anything that's "classical". It's always incomplete, because it's a moment frozen in time. Adherents to any "classical" method, tend to be elitist, and refuse to accept anything new. In singing, "classical training" tends to refer to opera...with its overuse of vibrato, and long clean vowells with zero distortion, and zero consonants. It came from people having to sing loud so the people at the back could hear in the days before amplification. It doesn't mean it's the "right" way.

[@ChrisWiley]

I think classical training is just fine. It teaches warm up, breathing, posture, and protecting your voice. You can apply the classical technic to any genre of music. It can only help your performance.

[@jacobwalsh1888]

Actually, quite a few metal singers are classically trained. Not everyone can belt out metal without training like Dio.

1st off I love the reaction. Thank you :) It's great seeing the enjoyment on peoples faces especially of our generation (30+er's) who are more than familiar with the original. There's a great version of this on youtube where they lay a cartoon over this cover version. The cartoon is a black and white old school mickey mouse type of cartoon style but takes place in todays world. And as you watch and listen to the song it's actually telling a story of how everyone is glued to their cellphones and this poor guy is trying to talk to people but just keeps getting ignored everywhere he goes. If you just search for this song and the word cartoon you'll probably find it. worth checking out imo.

Re: being a bit surprised that this came from a metal band - I became convinced maybe 50 years ago that the heavier the band, the better they could do the softer songs. Changes by Black Sabbath, Thank You by Led Zeppelin, several Nightwish songs (try Swanheart). I still stand by that: if you want a song to pull at your emotions, look to the heavy bands - they'll have one in there somewhere.

Hero of the day by metallica with the orchestra blew my mind

Cool note...and if you already know I'm sorry. In his younger years, Draiman was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue.

100 years from now this will be the only version people will play or listen too

[@thehoogard]

Not a chance. I love this version, but the original is timeless, and S&G will continue to be played for decades to come.

[@cmacvicar74]

BS - The Original was recorded over 50 years ago and is in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Timeless classic that will be etched in stone long after no one has ever heard of Disturbed.

[@MrEastcstharley42]

Yep, its my neighbors favorite song too :)

[@TheVoiceLoveCo]

Favorite comment of the day! 😂

[@ooshta]

I do like it better too. I like how the emotion was captured (my pov) as good if not even better. He has a good voice for the song.
