I'll agree to disagree but still, can appreciate your opinion. I don't think he (or they) holds a candle to the beauty of Simon and Garfunkel's version, and I guess that means a LOT of people will be coming after me pretty soon. Kind of feels though, like I just stuck my hand in a hornets' nest. However, what I see in the comments (here) is a WAVE of people who must have heard this version first, which I think explains why they like this one so much over the original.

@@SAGE_Dust Well, I did sit and listen, and I guess this man and group are just not my cup of tea. I really don't like this version or this singer's voice, and I don't think he conveys the thought feeling, emotions or provoking delivery that S&G did. Now, I have to say, I am not as fond of the "acoustic only" or "in the park" versions of the S&G version as I am of the remixed one from the 2nd album (with the amped guitar and drums), but I think all 3 version are better than this one. I realize this is just my opinion, and that doesn't carry any weight with anyone else, but everybody's got one, it's mine, and I own it 😊😎.

It carries a powerful theme, though, and I think you'd both love it. Even though they are a metal band, their messages in their songs are commentaries on modern society, and the things that are causing issues today. Their messages are good.

I wish I could have shared this with my dad. The night before the Vietnam War draft, he told me about going to a midnight meeting at the church at the center of his college campus. All the lights were turned off except the candles, they played this song on the pipe organ, and everyone sang since it was new enough to still be on pop charts. So many more than "10,000 people" went down into silence in the next few years, after that night, and this is the best musical approximation I've heard of the rage we should still feel about that. I'm glad you get to share this across generations. You're very lucky.

Supposedly Draiman went on Conan to prove that he could sing this without autotune, because some people accused him of not actually hitting the notes and tones naturally, so he wanted to do it live as prove. Unfortunately, he was sick that day also, so the person controlling the audio for the show did lay on a little autotune to clean it up, to the annoyance of Draiman

I am in Simon & Garfunkel's generation. So when I compare the 2 songs, I feel S & G are telling us what will happen if we don't listen to each other. Because it's showing us all the broken instruments at the beginning, Disturb's version sounds like is saying "we didn't listen to each other! See what happened? You blew it." I was amazed at their version! Loved it! Paul Simon even gave his approval to their version. You should listen the version on David Letterman.

For an extremely emotional experience, you should react to Eva Cassidy’s live acoustic versions of Over The Rainbow, the Judy Garland classic from The Wizard of Oz and her cover from the same evening of Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time. It’s just her playing her acoustic guitar (which she does exquisitely) and singing in one of the most angelic voices ever.

Technically it's a powerful rendition but Disturbed's version is...disturbed. I felt the heaviness of the lyrics and this just gave me that feeling of hopelessness. The end where he sounded defiant and urging people to march. Stirring but lacked something to uplift the listener. Sometimes as Andy Williams described S&G " You can't help but be mesmerized by just their voices and a guitar. " While I get some people will get a different experience and love this version. Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence just gives me a sense of hope at the end.

I liked what your Mom said at the end. To me the end of the song showed hope. Hope that the people can finally see what is going on and the mess they allowed to happen can be fixed. Great reaction! This is one of my favorite songs. I too didn't hear it until earlier this year, but I'm so glad I did.

The first time I heard this song I was lounging on the couch with my earpods in just listening to Pandora on shuffle. I was more asleep than awake. Then this song came on. Imagine me in stages going from sleepy, to sitting up, to by the end of the song just standing in the middle ofbthe room with my mouth on the floor. Still gives me chills each time I hear it.
