People say that Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning. This version is because we didn't heed the warning.

You made my day. "The loudest silence I've ever heard". This song is a warning that without empathy, understanding and communication, a division will only become wider and wider between people. At least that's my take on the song.

Silence has never been so loud, I think that's why Paul Simon gave Disturbed this song. It was a protest back in the days of Viet Nam and now, it's a cry of vengeance against those who didn't listen in the first place. PEACE!!!!!

Somebody wrote that Simon and Garfinkle's version makes you think....Disturb's version makes you feel. I couldn't agree more!

This is my favorite version of Sound of Silence. No comparison to others. 1st time I heard it I was stunned and hooked. Enjoyed your reaction.

I love y’all’s reaction. When you said you feel it in your toes, and the happiness in y’all’s voices and faces. Pure enjoyment 😊

Wow, that's beautiful. Had me in tears.❤ From what I've heard, that singer is a very nice and down to earth man who loves his fans.

Your reactions show that you felt this in your souls. No one can EVER top this rendition.

A song for ALL TIMES.

I've watched people react to this song for a few years now. It hit right with you two. Thank you.

Saw Disturbed sing this last year. It was beyond beautiful and David’s voice is so beautiful. Everyone was swaying and singing along. My favorite ❤️

" this is the loudest silence that I have ever had in my life!" lol

Paul Simons (from Simon and Garfunkel) songwriting is otherworldly. The original song is angelic. ❤ And Disturbed somehow made it even better. 😊❤ Thank you for your enjoyable reaction. 😂😊❤

From David's first note,both of your faces changed, and you knew this was definitely something different!

This was a great cover of an iconic song! I remember the original from the early 60s and now David and Disturbed own this song! They took a folksy pop rock song and turned it into a powerful anthem! Thanks for doing this! Great review and reactions! 🎶🎶

"If silence had a voice." Dude.

Best version EVER!

Much love and peace, brothers! When you can't find words, like now, music connects us!

Its about the rise of TV and Radio and the Adverts for up-and-coming programs and how TV and Radio have become our gods and the neon glow of our TVs on windows from the outside....

David was trained as a cantor!

Loved your reaction! I could tell that you could really feel the message. Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel wrote this in 1963 and after this released in 2015, he posted on his social media that Disturbed now owned this song. I know you’d really loved the latest Disturbed video released in January ‘24, Don’t Tell Me. Ann Wilson of Heart, best female rock singer of all time, is featured on the song. She and David Draiman’s voices together are incredible!!! Worth a reaction. I love Disturbed’s really heavy metal music too, but love the ballads.

He's a really good man as well x

🙌🙌🙌 Wow this is beautiful🎉

Outstanding version of the sound of silence ! Heart be still ❤

I grew up in the '70s. My brother was a folk singer song writer. I grew up listening to him and his friends playing all these songs. This was always one of my favorites. Go listen to the original Simon and Garfunkel version from 1964. This is the best re-record of it I have ever heard. BTW your statement of this being the voice of silence is SO true, you get it. 💞

Hey guys, Got an amazing song here. One of the best covers of this song. Beautiful and powerful, Davids voice gives me chillzzzzzz. Thanx so much, Peace

Thanks for sharing your reaction here guys.

This song has lived a long life as simmon and Garfunkel original,, no one has covered it with the intensity that disturbed has,, this is epic version of an old song,, that message still holds,,,,, wonky has made it threw to another generation

the reason why great music start off so effortless is because of divine inspiration.

powerful song..

Hey guys! You should check out his live version on Conan…as good as this is, watching him do it live was mesmerizing!! He was actually I’ll with the flu and had to sit to sing but he is a MASTER of his craft!

❤I loved seeing you two enjoy this song deep in your soul like i did the first time while riding in a boat. Thank you for making me smile.

INSTANT SUB 😊 U guys are so genuine 🥰 this was such a joy to watch..... Much ❤ to u both from Bama 🙋‍♀️ & blessings to u 🧿🕉🪬💕

Paul Simon said this is the best rendition of his song.

George Michael, They Won’t Go When I Go. This song was written by Stevie Wonder and George did a spectacular cover of it.

I was five hears old when Simon and Garfunkel released Sound of Silence. I LOVE Disturbed as release so much better.

Watching your reaction totally warms my heart. Seeing a song bulldoze through invisible racial barriers gives me hope in this broken world ❤

You need to watch his live version on Conan O’ Brian . It’s even better in my opinion.

My son died at 25. It was accidental. WE played this song. It hurts my heart.

When i first heard this version of this song , i was gobsmacked and hooked. I always loved Simon and Garfunkel version obviously being original but many others have one this song too yet no one compares to disturbed version. So powerful yet beautiful all the same. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reaction

One of my favorite songs! Amazing.

Also give a listen to the Touch of Class version... done before Disturbed...

Hi Veli Xtreme . great reaction . Good Music Is good Music and it can cross over. I remember how stunned I was the first time I heard Sho Shalosa . I would love to see you react to "forever Autumn" and "dust in the Wind" two wonderful ballards that I think you would like then also Beds are Burning by Midnight Oil .

You know you loved it. And now you will continue to listen to it. I get the goosebumps every time i hear it.

I love love love this cover his voice is soooooo good

OMG, the tissues I've 🤧 gone through since I discovered David Draiman and Disturbed performing their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" on April 29, 2024. That day I have to believe my spirit 🙏 guides (out of the blue) first led me to a cover video by Dan Vasc singing "Amazing Grace" which was phenomenal 👏 and then to the cover video of Disturbed and David Draiman singing this most POWERFUL, EMOTIONAL 😂rendition of Simon and Garfunkels "The Sound of Silence". I'm 75 and was 15 when they released one of the most popular classic songs of our time during the 60's. It is amazing how relevant it is today. Actually I feel it is even more relevant than ever in so many different ways. I've spent days since listening and seeing, you notice I didn't say viewing, the many channel hosts and each of their reactions and have 😢 almost every time. It's funny that more males have gotten teary-eyed than females, just an observation. Thanks from Diane

THIS COVER IS AMAZING…..FEEL IT BETTER THAN ORIGINAL. With all due respect to S&G!

This is an empowering, this is happening now.... world is changing. You are part of that. Thank you I subscribed Peace from California 🌎💕🎶✨️

I love to see that amazing music is universal. Your reactions are enthusiastic and authentic! Keep going!

Crying I love this .makes me cold .hairs stood up on my arms

Als,o be sure to watch their live performance on Conan. NOTE: that David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance and I heard he was not pleased with his performance, being the perfectionist that he is I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole was amazing and his performance was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! Thanks, Diane Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS Team Coco

Enjoyed your reaction, thank you

Love the song, love the man. ❤

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Brilliant! Thankyou❤

Aww... You guys are a joy to watch.

“this is a song about the inability of people to communicate with each other”…according to writer of song Art Garfunkel other co-writer was Paul Simon

This song is about Art Garfunkel friend that suffered with glaucoma and the stories he relayed about his condition.

Thanks guys! Made my day,also.love from germany ❤

Loved your reaction. Nice job.

Great reaction guys!!

It as a remake from a band in the 1960's.i remembered when it first came out.its nice to know the song lives on.

Great reaction!!!!

👍 From Santa Barbara,CA

For any that want to listen to the song don't click on reactions,, I know the song well, I enjoys seeing random people react,, it's why I click on reactions videos🥰✌️👍💪💪💪🇺🇸

Great plays! I subscribed today! Keep playing that great music! ✌

❤

This song means so much to me. Classic 👌🏻

Not better just different. I love both versions including PTX cover.

So powerful. Suchca great cover. Its my #2 favourite. My #1 you guys should check out. Nightwish did a Live tribute/cover of the Pink Floyds song "High Hopes" - its Amazing! You ahould also check out Nightwish for reactions. Best band in the world. Check "Ghost Love Score" Live from the Wacken music Festival.

The sound of silence was written in 1964 by Simon and Garfunkel. It is considered a warning. Disturbance version came out in 2015 and It It represents the anger that we have not heeded the message from Simon and Garfunkel's version. In 2019 released It represents the anger that we have not heeded the message from Simon and Garfunkel's version. In 2019 Pentatonix released their cover of sound of silence. It falls in between as hopeful. I would love to see you react to that as they are an acapella group. Sound of silence is 1 of their most popular videos. To answer the question about the line hello darkness my old friend Paul Simon Paul Simon Said in an interval interview that he would write his music In the background the bathroom Because because of theAcoustics. So when he went in there the light would be off Hello Hello darkness my old friend......Another Video of the sound of silence to react to is Dan vasquez , who is a metal singer. His cover Pretty much follows the pacing and intensity of disturbance. I watch reactions because I want to see the reactors true and honest opinion. Therefore they need to go in completely blind. You should not go in knowing anything about the song except maybe it's his history Because then you're reaction isn't authentic because you will be anticipating or no what direction the song is going to go to. Anton chekhov (Russian) I said that the role of the artist is not to answer questions but to ask questions. So the gentleman in the orange shirt That is the reason why you had the response that you did You want to know where the song You wanted to know where the song was gonna go to so you could prepare yourselves. However that will include your reaction. Please don't ever feel bad about a reaction where You are visually effective. That means that the song has gone and fed your soul, A. soul that did not know it was hungry for thus Comes your reaction and you need to look at it. When Paul Simon heard disturbed version he said it was very very good. I loved your comment about that being the sound of silence... I've seen I've seen reactions to this video many many times No 1 is ever come up with that line and it's absolutely perfect.. Thank you so very much for your reaction

For those interested here's some history of the song... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Silence 6:32

Do DISTURBED'S STUPIFY... THE LIGHT.... PRAYER

I love your reaction to this song. This is another favourite song of mine x

Also heard that S&G made us think, this makes us feel.

Fun to see your wonderful evaluation of this video. You really should watch the live version where they were on TV! It’s even better! 😎😍

Love your reaction guys. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️

David Draiman is an amazing person. During the Conan O’Brien show, he was so sick, and still performed. This video opens eyes.

I believe Simon and Garfunkel wrote this as a warning and reaction to the murder of President John F. Kennedy. I know Paul Simon contacted David Draiman (singer in Disturbed that you just listened to), and told him this is the best version he have ever hear of the song. MASSIVE credit!

Great reaction guys. You summed up my thoughts too.

The Sound of Silence ie deafening.

You should check out Rammstein-Du Haust live in Paris or Cardiff

I love you my new friends.

Stop closing your eyes while watching a video. You keep missing very important emotions he's portraying. It's not just an audio.

Sorry guys, not your fault but I could hardly understand your accent. But I could understand your enthusiasm and joy at listening to this rendition of Sounds of silence. Universally understood, this version grabs you by the cajones, makes your heart beat faster and makes you feel better after listening to it. This guy's control of the power of his voice, & almost perfect pitch, while moving through multi octaves is mind bending. This was all while he had the flu and a high temperature. Love it!!!

Lyricks lyricks lyricks boys ! Look at them know them ❤😂

i listened this to the end. Who else?

Hey I'm new but can you please react to Blue October "Hate Me ". He suffers from schizophrenia as my brother did. He's really talented and I saw his band in Dallas once at a club called "Trees" before ppl heard of him ."Hate Me " is deep and you hear his worried mamma on his answering machine.

um down vote for the what you start

Quelqu'un pourrait m'expliquer les paroles de cette belle chanson en français ou la traduire en français. Merci

Have you heard the original by Simon and Garfunkle? Go listen to it and then this one again

Please try.. System of a down.

I hate when people pause the song before the drop!!!!

I LOVE this song & I LOVE your reaction! New Sub, I look forward to hearing more from you. I would love to hear you react to REN, a song called HI REN. I think it will blow your mind in a really good way. 🥰

You need a mic so we can hear you better brother.

Check out Metallica One

You guys should wait till the end before you judge a song

Love this song. I also love seeing other reactions
