The one thing I will always say about it is that the original doesn't have the greatest tone for the lyrics. It sounds a little too upbeat and almost cheery compared to how David Draiman performs it, which has a darker, punchier tone.

I’m 64 and I can remember hearing it back then. The cinematography in this video is absolutely gorgeous. It combines a perfect use of the Zone Technique and the lighting commonly used in film noir. When the singer is looking straight into the camera, he looks right through you. I don’t have the words to describe how everything comes together in this video. Genius seems to be a gross understatement.

Not only did he link it he rang David after the Conan show to congratulate Disturbed, he wanted to sing it more like Disturbed did but the producers said no as they were folk singers, so Paul always intended it as a harsher warning. It is high praise when the original artist loves a rendition.

Disturbed has a song called A Reason to Fight. It is a very emotional song that shows just how human David Draiman is. He wrote A Reason to Fight while thinking about all of his friends he has lost to depression and addiction over the years. If you do A Reason to Fight please do the official live video because it helps really show just how much Disturbed is helping other people through their music.

I love everything Disturbed did here, but oddly enough my favorite part is the visual when David says "and the people bowed and prayed" with his emotion and the flashing lights. It's hard to get past that point for me: it's all anger and disgust that we're headed for the destiny Paul Simon warned us about 60 years ago. Simply put: it's beautiful.

It seemed like just another pretty little folk song that nobody could understand, but was danceable.
