Ummmm, just want to point out here.... we all know Simon & Garfunkel's version is the ORIGINAL right ??? There's a lot of comments here talking about "their version" of it.... Ummm no - they are the original artists, the creators if you will, the song was written by Paul Simon, & we would not have any of the ' cover versions' of it today, if not for them! :) It Kinda compares to Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams' really.., where people don't realise they're actually he original artist, written by Stevie Nicks. Because there is now so many "Cover Versions" of it 😆☮

What I love is that David Draiman's voice quality is completely different in each of the five verses, so that even though the tune doesn't change, your emotions do, and you are carried through from start to finish with so much impact. If I am remembering the original correctly, Draiman altered a couple of ending notes and cut a couple of measures short a beat, which also adds more impact. Just a masterful way of making this piece their very own.

This is my favorite cover of the beautiful warning song. Simon & Garfunkel wrote this as a warning the we are distancing & isolating ourselves from each other back in 1964 but if you look around you see no one listened. In the lunch rooms, on the buses even at the dinner table people are not talking to each other, they are buried in the cell phones disconnected for the person sitting beside them. I see Disturbed's cover as an angry wake up shout that unless we start to connect to each other again we are doomed. What I also like about the video is that it shows that musicians can be the voice for the silent masses wanting their message to be heard through music, the musicians in the boat crossing the river to the people with their scores.

I thought the 'losing the music' was a good thought too, but at the end of the video, all the musicians and their instruments show a solution .. to "cross the gap/the river, undertake .. act" .. got on a ship towards the people with the sheet music / the words / the "communication" .. whatever you want to call it. The sound of silence is there, because people don't share but isolate. Well .. that's my 5 cents 😁

This by far is the best version of the song. And the video is epic. It starts out with him acknowledging the darkness especially with the loss of music and ability to communicate. But he has a vision to restore communication with music and retrieves the broken instruments and pleads with those across the chasm that are writing songs that will not be heard to reach out to him as he is bringing to them the instruments to allow them to have their songs and words heard. At the end as the boat load of instruments and musicians crosses the abyss to the song writers, the sun starts break through, bringing light to end the darkness. Of course this is my own personal interpretation. Regardless, this song by Disturbed is a masterpiece.

With the band, "DISTURBED", doing a cover of this song, many people just heard this song before. Disturbed's living creation of sound made you listen to the song. David's voice pulled you in and opened your mind to what was being said. The best cover I have ever heard and heartfelt. Saw Disturbed on my birthday, 2-6-2024, and I had tears in my eyes.

They are incredible and that’s awesome you saw them on your birthday. Happy belated belated birthday.

I just heard this one the radio today, and had the opportunity to turn it up and really listen without any interruptions. He definitely had an emotional and powerful version with a nice buildup. For whatever reason it was much better today!

I don't normally listen to Disturbed, but this version of The Sound of Silence is Phenomenal. The best version I've heard, and he's Sexy as Hell.

I love watching the Reacts from people to music. Especially when, the moment when they least expect it, the music hits home.

It always does at some point. Thanks for watching.

I refused to listen to this as I couldn't fathom listening to anyone else singing it. I listened to it last week and cried. Absolutely beautiful.

This is hilarious! I'm only 5 minutes in and I know it's coming and you think it's intense now. Oh boy! I can't wait to see the rest. First time to your channel. This looks like fun. Thanks for sharing!

This is my favorite version of this song, his voice singing this song gives me chills

@terrydurham3697 4 ай бұрын

Previous versions seemed to be happier, not reflecting the words being sung. This is spot on!!!

In every way, a masterpiece. The best song, vocal and musical arrangement I’ve ever experienced. The video is brilliant.

David Draiman is an extremely talented man. Yes, he might scream into a microphone, but he’s also a trained operatic singer. He knows how to pitch his voice into beautiful ranges that would make gloved hands applaud. I’m so very glad he was able to impress you.

He’s amazing.

this version feels so much deeper to me, the visuals combined with the key they used creating a unique harmony both audibly as well as visually. I've sang a cover of this for friends and blew their minds but nothing can ever compare to the connection this song has with many of us.

A lot of people don't know this, but the lead singer of Disturbed is a classically trained singer. That's why he can do clean songs like this or heavy metal and has an enormous range on his voice.
