Your voice and the musicians made this sound and song a hit to almost ALL generations. I am not a heart metal fan, nor a fan of profanity, but I love beautiful music, and I do love quite a few Disturbed songs. So thank you for these.

Gets me in the gut every time too. Those damn allergies.

I agree; halfway through, as intensity rises, I get chills, every time. Then, like you, by the end, I'm in tears as well. Every single time. I will never tire of hearing this wonderful version of the Sounds of Silence. At this point, Simon & Garfunkle's version is simply bland & emotionless.....

Very much the same!

His "voice" isn't his voice. It's automatic pitch correction software processing his voice. It's a travesty.

I was always a S&G fan I then up on u tube comes Disturbed singing Sound of Silence I was transfixed I think I prefer this version to the original. But I am still hacked off with S&G they were great to gether but not apart petty squabbles. Egos getting in the way well one ego.

The original Simon and garfunkel is great, for these guys to make it somehow better is amazing, then to have Miles Kennedy as a guest singer at some of the disturbed shows takes it to another level, excellent work.

I’m 74, and just heard this for the first time last night, watching KZfaq on my iPad. Well. I had chills and tears, and couldn’t stop thinking about this beautiful and powerful version of a beloved song. This man’s voice is magic. Whew.

I love the fact that a 72-year young grandma listens to Disturbed.

I'm a 74 yo great grandma now and this man has the best and most fascinating voice I've ever heard!!

For those of us raised on Simon and Garfunkel and the “Shotsy”movies and Ed Sullivan, this song is forever burned into our brains 🔥 so this version, this breath of new life and meaning to ‘it’s so loved song ❤️❤️🎶🎶❤️❤️. I’ve watched and researched that Conan vid and watched the “experts” on utube being blown out of their chairs when they listened. It’s magical 💨🔥

Rock on, Carrie!

I love this version. Disturbed are better than Simon and Garfunkle. The crescendo actually gave me goosebumps and shivers down my spine. Brilliant.

I get goosebumps every time I hear this song, also! The more it goes on also does the same.

Good thing your dad's ears were too shot to hear the horrific computer-processed Auto-Tuned fake vocals. Dad would have keeled over.

I pulled up a video of S&G here and played it for my parents (not that they needed it, but I wanted to play them back to back), then played Disturbed's official video. My mom cried, I could tell my dad was blown away. We started bouncing around to different artist's videos and after one, my dad said, "I'd rather you played more David Draiman." hehe it really is bringing generations together.

I am a new fan too!

I'm 36 and agree. We older folk have similar tastes :D

I'm 61 & I'm a Disturbed fan anyhow. When I heard this version, it moved me to tears. Always felt that Simon & Garfunkel's version lacked feeling & felt numb. Their version lacks the sheer, raw emotion that David Draimon brings & you hear what a beautiful voice he has. Will always be a Disturbed fan.

No way it’s better than the original. The version of just a guitar and two voices in harmony will always be perfect and the best

My husband and I are church musicians and my 6 y/o overheard the Disturbed version and she said "this is church music" and I mean she wasn't wrong

What kind of poetry does a 6 year old like besides Hickory Dickory Dock or Dr. Seuss?

@@gracefranklin29, know the song well. The version he sings was written by Buddy Guy. As an old Blues guitarist, I know how to play it, as well.

@@Smashtacular01 don't cut yourself on all that edge.

I believe he comes from a long line of Cantors.

He’s preserving his voice as he speaks. And you bet. He comes from a long line of cantors and trained through high school until he turfed orthodoxy for metal. This version is so incredibly complex in terms of how he can feel the melancholy and anger and isolation along with how he modulates his breath, his pitch, how he moves from chest to head voice, from smooth to raspy and back without getting pitchy and so much more shows how someone with profound respect for the genius of a 21 year old song writer, wise beyond his years, and lent perhaps Simon might have wished to express for our modern times, making it a masterpiece. Simon’s original version was just the he and Garfunkel singing without a 60’s sort of band arrangement. It wasn’t as up tempo as the one they finally made famous. The producers found it to be too moody, so Simon tossed it aside. His manager talked them into re-recording it. But when you just read the lyrics, you really feel what he was saying. The message hasn’t changed even now. It’s just that we now have more folks around who can cover it in ways that are meaningful to them without losing the sense of isolation, melancholy, and the social statement. David’s version, I think, speaks to listeners now in a way that would never have been accepted in the 60’s folk scene. Both are virtuoso versions in their own individual rights. Such respect!

@@whiterabbittalks4763 Are you ill?? Your rant sounds like you are suffering.

I do remember reading David is notorious for being a very calm person in his personal life.

I wasn’t able to cry! I had to remember to breathe. I first heard it as it played during a highly emotional episode of “Black List”. After that, I researched it and listened to it and watched the music video and many reaction videos. I’ve never heard a single one say anything but that everything about it is amazing! I agree.

I cry every single time I listen

I agree, I am also from the older generation, I listened to the S & G original, but they never came close to performing it the way Disturbed was able to. Excellent!

@@gideonbotha3466 I'd always felt like this song needed more punch, somehow. The whole song is an exhortation to action and the original just never really followed through with that.

Another oldie who agrees with you, I loved the S&G original always have and it was one of a few songs I believe should never be touched or covered, till I heard Disturbed. It made me cry and still does whenever I hear it. So much power and emotion delivered by the singer it's almost religious in its delivery and feel. If you must cover other artists material then at least do it justice. Thank you Disturbed for succeeding.

Paul Simon agreed and said it was David’s song now.

@@KaiserSoze679 you are so right!! Metalheads are some of the nicest people out there, but we just get a bad rap!!

@@KaiserSoze679 Agree. Sadly though with this type of music (their "normal" music, not Sounds of Silence), it's almost a requirement from their fan base that they curse like drunken sailors in order to be cool. This is refreshing.

Anything sung using Auto-Tune is not a religious experience. In fact, just the opposite.

@@siberianhusky5874 Jesus leave it alone. EVERYONE uses auto tune and pitch correction to some extent in studio versions, even if the singer doesn't know it. Fucking watch a version from a concert and quit harping on this. It's not just how perfectly he hits the notes that makes this song amazing, it's the emotion he puts into it. I highly suggest you do more research on David before running your mouth. Better yet, try to do what he does live WITHOUT the autotune and see if you could do even near as well.

Agree! The original song is perfect in its own way, the softness and harmony really brings out the melancholy aspect of the song. Disturbed covers more of the raw angst and depression more directly. Both the original and the cover highlights the haunting cries of the song and message really well. Disturbed's version is definitely different, but in keep of the spirit of the song. It just proves how powerful and timeless of a song it is! I really like both of them equally. Depending on the mood, I might choose to listen to one over the other. But equally excellent and touching. It's an ode to the power of music and lyrics. The original will always stay stronger as S&G actually wrote it, I mean those lyrics can simply stay as poetry. The melody enhances and reverberates the beauty and truth of the lyrics. But a huge kudos to bringing as equally stunning take on the song! It is appropriately haunting and powerful, unlike many other cheery covers. There were great vocals but they just don't seem to embody/encapsulate the spirit of the song as much as this one does. As a band, instrumental & vocal composition wise, they did fantastic job! Happy to see more people being introduced to S&G as well as to metal music. Both genres/bands offer such intangible richness to the soul.

What's the other two? Just curious ;P

Mine too.

My top three cover songs are: 3. Bad wolves version of The cranberries song zombie 2. Disturbed The sound of silence 1. Hearts live at Kennedy center- stairway to heaven.

I have to agree with you on this cover! I LOVE covers and search them out. This one has to be my favorite. Followed by Jamie Johnson’s cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Four Walls of Raiford. Third best cover is one of twenty George Thorogood’s covers of the blues greats. Probably the cover of Johnny Cash Cocaine Blues, I know it was a cover for Johnny too.

❤️❤️❤️

Heavy!!!

The anger in his voice is just so captivating. It forces you to really listen to the lyrics and realize how bleak the song is. I read someone say the original was a warning and this version was a response to all that has happened. Thanks Disturbed.

i am not good at english(learning it) but wow your describing it was amazing. beautifully done 😁😁😁

From my limited experience with subculture this description fits typical Metalhead rather well. Macho and aggressive on the outside and gentle and caring when it matters.

Well said ❤️🎶

Once I heard the Disturbed cover of Sound of Silence, I came to view the original as a person having a revelation, and starting to tell people, with Disturbed's version being a more practiced, more confrontational presentation, tinged with years of frustration and anger at the warning of the message being ignored.

@@OriginalLictre that's been said often since its release. S&G's version a warning, Disturbed's version a battle cry.

oh, lol...i guess I said that 5 months ago. hahahahah not a good start to my day.

well worded!

It was definitely done too fast, and the background music and general atmosphere was way too perky for such deeply profound lyrics and thoughts. It just fits much better on this version.

Listening to it this weekend as I watch the USA stumbling toward Armageddon, this song reached me on a deeper level.

I'm 61 & used to think that too because the "experts" made such claims. Learned many years ago to stop listening to the so called experts and to judge for myself bands for myself. I've heard some truly amazing musicians and singers. If I never gave all types of Metal bands a chance, I would have missed out on great bands like Disturbed and Korn. I set limits. There is some really dark music out there & I stay away from that. I've even listened to some of Marilyn Manson's music. Some of these guys are very intelligent & have lots to say. We may not always like what we hear because sometimes, the song is like a mirror & we may not always like the reflection we see.

Well done sir the blinkers are off, go enjoy and tell your truth.

@@patk3601 Symphonic metal is a genre to give some time to if you have not. Primarily bands like Delain or Within Temptation. Their singers have beautiful voices.

Yeah, its why i still steer clear of most "death metal" and "black metal" groups mostly because of this stereotype. However, i am a big fan of heavy metal/power metal/etc. There are some very talented and skilled artists that really put a passion into their music, beyond just trying to sell an album or become popular. Disturbed is a band that isn't there for just the music, but really sheds light on societal issues and makes people feel empowered. Another great band is Sabaton. This band makes songs about battles,wars, heroes of war, and struggles fought throughout history that actually happened. Some songs are very sad even for a metal song such as "The Price of A Mile" . Its a song about the battle of Passchendaele which cost over 500,000 lives.

You should check out Small Town Titans. Another phenomenonal voice and intelligence in lyrics

You hit the nail on the head. Powerful then and still if not more relevant today. Especially sung with such sad,angry power.

I want to thank you for this AMAZING version of this song. I am blown away and love you so much for it.

I was thinking the same comparison.
