LYRICS
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence
TIMESTAMPS
0:00 INTRO
1:31 REACTION STARTS
Title: Sound of silence
#LfrJojo , #Disturbed, #SoundOfSilence - Zábava
God: Would you like the voice of an angel or a demon?
David Draman: Yes.
David comes from a long line of Cantors, his grandfather was considered the greatest of all time. Needless to say his family was not happy when he left To do hard rock. With songs like this he reaches millions.
isn't he one of the few rock singers with a similar vocal range to Freddie Mercury?
well said. well said indeed.
I’m mad I can’t like this comment 100 more times.
@@angelasylvain2476 Well, I freely admit to stealing it.So don't feel too bad.
It's a good one though.
The original song was written by Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel in 1965. Disturbed released this cover 50 years later in 2015, and when asked about it, Paul Simon (he's still alive) said he really liked it and said it was impressed with how powerful a performance it was. It must be really something for an original artist to like your cover.
ESPECIALLY when the artist is Paul motherf*ing Simon. The man is LEGEND.
That's why this cover is one of the best (if not the best) covers of all time. Simon and Garfunkel sang about how people need to pay attention and connect on a more emotional level. 50 years later, Disturbed took the same song and said, "These are emotions! You still aren't paying attention!"
Nah man, you can't be just one Aaron. You are at least 10 people 😂😂😂😂😂 u
Tbh this is the best cover ever recorded.
@@asaventurasderobson lol. I read and write very fast. If I was 10 people my house would be a lot cleaner, lol.
As someone that has listened to this song hundreds of times... it wont get any easier. It hits hard EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
This one and Bad Wolves "Zombie" i can listen over and over
yeah bro, it's kicks like an angry mule
I don't think David Draiman gets enough credit for his absolutely incredible vocal range. He is absolutely incredible. And he has done multiple cover songs and none of them gets the respect they truly deserve.
If I remember correctly, he was trained in opera format of singing... Giving great range and intensity to his songs.
@@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va He was trained as a cantor, so yes, definatly professional training. Hauntingly beautiful!
Not just the range, but how he can manipulate/manage it as well. Obviously thousands of hours of work but man....David is the shit.
DAS IST GAR NICHTS! WOLF WINTER Sounds of Silence DAS IST DER BEST czcams.com/video/56FvxRkDx_s/video.html
This is My second Life...
Disturbed took a good song, reimagined it, and performed it in an epic emotional sound wave that crashes into you.
I prefer this to the S&G version that I grew up hearing but never really liked. They really took this song and made it their own.
Word.
They preserved the soul of the song while giving it their own body.
absolutely. They modernized it. Its perfect for todays atmosphere.
I read somewhere that the original was a cool warning, disturbed's is the angry reminder
💖****NEVER APPOLOGIZE FOR FEELING EMOTIONAL, THAT IS WHAT MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO DO*** 💖 (Really loved your raw reaction!!!
I tear up every time…🥲
@@josteincarlsen2905 💗💗💗
@@josteincarlsen2905 i was a mess the first time i heard this😂
Well said.
Hell yeah. I respect this guy more because the music gets too him so much
I grew up with the original version. When I heard Disturbed do it, it blew me away. So powerful and beautiful! I'm 60 years old. I absolutely love it....
I've watched many people react to this song. Your reaction is my favorite. For me, it's not about analyzing the song. It's watching the emotion take over. Never apologize for being silent. Your facial expressions and body language said it all. Looking forward to your future posts.
Damn right Jill. If this performance doesn’t move you, it’s too late you’re gone. Love the performance, love the sincere reaction.
Yeah totally I didn’t even realise he wasn’t talking because the emotion on his face was telling me everything I needed to know
Don’t feel bad for “feeling” the song. I think the version hits everyone the same way. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it even after all these years.
Totally agree. Goosebumps and tears. 🙈
Yep. Goosebumps every single time.
It hit me the same way . It still does every time I hear it. Thank you so much. This was the song that introduced me to Disturbed and I love everything they have done. Thanks again for doing this and I loved your reaction.
Every. Single. Time. I think this is my favorite version of the song.
Yep feel it every time .
When I first heard Simon and Garfield sing it, it was amazing. But then I heard this version, I felt it. This is a masterpiece.
From my experience, Simon and Garfunkel's version, which is, of course, the original version, was a warning about a potential future that was years, perhaps decades, away. Disturbed's cover of it is also a warning, the same warning that S&G gave back in the 60s, with the difference being that said future was either right here or about to be here in days or weeks rather than years or decades. We still have time to evaluate and decide if this future is what we want or if we want to change course, but the time for planning is over; Now we need action.
@@zoegartham312 Unfortunately for us, these decisions are ultimately decided for us. The world governments seek the technology whether we care to implement it in our daily lives or not.
We are heading for a technological dystopian/Brave New World/Orwellian future. I don't see people coming together with enough unity to slow the progression of the technological oligarchy.
I listened to the original song as a kid back in the 60's....my son who's in high school said "Dad, check this song out" I was shocked. This version of this song is so amazing, so powerful....50 years later my son turns me on to a song I listen too as a kid...I must have played this a hundred times in a row after I heard it....well done.
Disturbed is and has been one of my favourite bands since early childhood and I heard this and was blown away!
I played this for my nearly 80 year old father, who loves the original by Simon and Garfunkel. His reaction? "The message is still being heard."
As for the chills? I feel them all over, but never more than when he growl/sings "and the Neon Gods they made.' I feel that in my soul.
Same brother..🥹😁
I am nearly eighty years old and your Father said it all just those words.
Simon and Garfunkel's version was a message, Disturbed's version is a warning the message isn't being heard.
I have listened to this thousands of times and I get goosebumps every time!☮
@@jessegifford7913
That is the most profound explanation of not just this song but, of any song.
Don’t worry about feeling emotional. The first time I heard this version I cried. Like broke down sobbing by the end. Around the 20th time I felt the emotion but could hold back the tears. Always feel what you feel and never apologize. That’s what being human is.
I sobbed like a baby too. It gut punched me the first time.
I don't even know how many times I've listened to this song and I STILL cry. There's just something that makes it feel like such a good allegory for the world today and that attempt to reach for hope that's just beyond your fingertips.
I cried, too. I loved Simon and Garfunkle's version but this blew me out of the water.
I worry about those who don’t appreciate the power in both the song and the video. People who are afraid to FEEL are not healthy.
To this day I Fvcking cry at this version.
Never apologize. It's a reaction channel. True authentic reactions is what I am after! Excellent job JoJo
@Ray Johnson it's a song that is supposed to evoke emotions. if you'd like to find out what the song is about, read the lyrics as a poem.
it's initially supposed to be a warning about the hazards of the rise of technology.
personally, I see the Simon and Garfunkel version as a warning, and the Disturbed version as a reprimand. But, that's my interpretation......
Cathartic reactions are even more rare this days. Jojo is one of Us.
Agree.
This!
@@asaventurasderobson have you seen his reaction to the Cranberries "Zombie"? It's so moving. And it made me loved this young man....and gave me hope for the future that I don't feel a lot these days. The world needs more young people like him if we're to have any hope.
I cried like a baby the first time I hear this song. It's emotionally evoking and it speaks to you on a spiritual level. It's a masterpiece
Totally agree. I want this played at my funeral
I've listen to this song many times. I've watch many many reactions. I still have trouble not bursting into tears
@@cathyauscat4746 and wedding and baby shower and my future dogs funeral 😅
I cry evertime I hear this. I love watching people watch this!!
This is as much an emotional song as I have Ever Heard. It crush’s me. It’s beauty is off the charts. It hits me every time I listen to it. If I heard this at a funeral I’d melt in the pew. I’d be incapable to move. ❤
I am a 70 year old Great Grandmother, I have never been a head banger so this band was not one I was familiar with. When I heard their rendition of The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon I was hooked. I have heard it so many times but it never gets old and each time I get goose bumps. Young man I so appreciate you being able to be in touch with a song from the 60's being redone by a now group. Just today I have watched reviewers like Voice coaches, composers, heavy metal folks, a preacher, each and everyone of them got goose bumps and a lot of them cried.
This brings me joy 😊
hey Punkygma ! try Bloodywood ( czcams.com/video/Gsy5sJy5_34/video.html , czcams.com/video/7iKjSCTxke8/video.html ) and the Hu ( czcams.com/video/v4xZUr0BEfE/video.html ) next ! I love em ! Disturbed is now 20+ years old I'm pretty sure .
The original by Simon and Garfunkel's original version was a gentle warning. Disturb's is an angry response to a warning not heeded. I feel like this version is a perfect depictment of what going on in our world today. Chills, yes in deed. Now go listen to original. You'll be able to appreciate it more. Great reaction my man. Learn from your elders.
sorry, but the elders are the ones who did all this damage to our beautiful world... it is time for the youth with real talents and aptitudes to be given the reins. maybe they will be less greedy and more concerned for the world we all need to live on than the elders.
and yes, i am a boomer. i am just ashamed of my generation.
@@selectronium Why are you ashamed? Because somebody said so?...and if so, you have been brain washed to think the way you do. In the end, every generation has skeletons... the bigger point is to make sure the skeletons you have are not equal or worse than those of your predecessors.
As a great man once said.. "He, who is with out sin should throw the first stone. " the point of his statement is, there is not a single person on this earth that can throw a stone at anybody else and claim they are sinless.
@@tacc8227 honey, you are not using that saying like Jesus used it. grow up.
@@selectronium The point is, the only one that could throw a stone is Jesus and nobody else... Thats exactly what it means. ... Im trying to defend and encourage you and then you tell me to grow up? Interesting.
Maybe taking your own advice would be more beneficial for yourself.
@@tacc8227 the original comment on this thread said that the Simon & Garfunkel (the Boomers and Gen X'ers) song was the warning and Disturbed's version (the Millennials and younger) was anger at the warning unheeded... so how am i the only one you are angry at?
the implication is clearly that *The Elders* ignored the multiple warnings from scientists and artists alike.
so how are you angry at just me and not also the original commenter, the artists who wrote this song, and all of the artists who have ever sung it...?
somehow *i* am a problem for adding my voice to theirs?
like i said, grow up.
Seeing you actually FEEL this song -- was worth the price of admission. 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up. Subscribe button - SMASHED.
SAME
"People hearing without listening..." But you listened!
I love the fact that you don't research the songs first so that you go into these reactions completely blind and you actually react genuinely. It's beautiful to watch your reactions. I LOVE this
He trained to be a cantor (singer/teacher/leads in prayer) in a Synagogue. His voice is absolutely amazing, and it hits right to the core. Well done YOU for your honest reaction.
He's reaching people emotionally
You picked a phenomenal cover to listen to, man. I've been hearing this song since it came out, and it STILL gives me chills to this day. One of the greatest covers in musical history right here.
It’s a song that just keeps on building up you think it’s got to the crescendo and it just punches you in the face again..!
Crescendo means the build-up - it's not about the peak, it's about the build-up. Spot on comment though!! Absolutely agree.
This song was originally a warning of sorts but he sang it like he was angry because nobody listened to the warning. It's a brilliant shift for these times.
The emotion IS strong, especially in this time we are living through. Simon and Garfunkel wrote and sang this song in the early 60's, another time of strife and unrest. But Disturbed's version evokes an even more ominous imagery of the consequence of living in our own bubbles of belief and not hearing or listening or thinking about who we are, and even more importantly, who we want to be.
PS: I think you're a terrific kid. Keep doing what you're doing. You are listening. You are lifting the darkness.
When I hear Simon and Garfunkel's original version of this I somehow feel hope and it gives me gentle tears. This version takes all hope out of me and shreds it, telling me all hope has been thrown away by our actions, making me cry in a hopeless way. Both are amazing in their own way.
You hit that perfectly.
It makes me feel the anger and sadness of the message not being understood in the original song
Simon and Garfunkel were a warning. Disturbed is the warning having been ignored.
Bro, this IS emotion! The fact that you are so kind that you feel music is special. Don't ever say you're sorry for that.
Really makes me feel OLD when a reactor says a modern group had the "original" of a classic that's more than 50 years old. This beauty has been around for a long time and Disturbed only made it better. Enjoyed seeing your react and appreciate what a powerful song it is.
When I was in 8th grade my English teacher had us analyze the lyrics of this song as poetry. That's the level of symbolism and deep meaning the words have, but Disturbed also brought a deep emotion to their expression.
When the feels take over- that’s how you know it’s good music. Watch the one he performed live. Simon and Garfunkel are proud. They wrote the original from the 60’s ...
Suggestion for the future: check out Simon & Garfunkel's original version of this song.
Hearing them back to back gives a good understanding of what makes a version (changing musical arrangements) so much more than just another cover (replaying the same arrangement).
It also gives a chilling sense of how the first was a mellancolic warning about the path society was taking and this became a raging complaint that no one listened.
Simon and Garfunkel's version is absolutely haunting. though, honestly that was the point. far as i always understood it was about nukes. 'flash of neon light'. '10k people maybe more talking without speaking'.
You really need to hear and react to the original Simon and Garfield version. They have not done a tour for years and they got together for a tour after not playing together for years my expectations were not very high but the show was excellent and they sounded exactly like they did years ago. They announced that they had a special guest and out come the Righteous Brothers and they got to do a set at the show. They were able to take the audience back to the time they played the first time
At the end of the show that they won't discuss the show with their friends until they went because they wanted to keep their guests to be just as surprised as we were and people did listen
I have to say that my mind was blown away
@@terrijarrell3723 Listen to the original and then the Pentatonix version. It has been said the original is the warning, the Disturbed version is the anger of not heeding the warning, and the Pentatonix version is the hope that we can still make a change as a society! It is quite moving!!
Your so on point....Im 61...but 50 years later....wow.
This song is so powerful. I love seeing people's reactions to this cover because I knew who Disturbed was before hearing it and it took me be surprise to hear how soothing his voice can be and when he really gets into the grit, it's well placed and not over-done.
This is an amazing song. It just reaches in and grabs your soul and moves you deeply. Also another great song is Metallica's "One".
David's voice sends trembles through my body! It's like thunder. No matter how often I hear this version, I still feel the same every single time. Great reaction friend ❤️
The emotion he's able to put into his voice is unmatched. Arguably one of the most underrated vocalists of all time.
Everyone and I mean Everyone feels the same way about this song and how he sings it. Very powerful!
It was originally released by Simon & Garfunkel in 1964!!! I was 12 years old and so grateful that I've had it in my life since then!!! Classically beautiful song!!!!💜💜🎶🎼🎵🎤🎸🎹🎙🔥🔥🔥🔥 Babe, you never have to apologize to us!!! This song is written to be emotionally reacted to!!! Doesn't matter who sings it!!!💜💜💜
You had a very pure reaction to his voice. He gives me chills as well. You should listen again and listen to the lyrics. Very deep
What a tremendous reaction young man. I’m 58 years old. I was 1 when the original came out, and I love this song. I was very apprehensive when someone told me Disturbed covered it. I freaking loved it. Goosebumps!!! Very haunting version. Keep doing what you do buddy, music is happiness.. Love the LFR family
My siblings were heavy into S&G, so when I rolled around in ‘66 this was already part of the household ‘soundtrack’.
The first time I heard this version was the snippet used on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and I was a blubbering mess. I had to look up the full version. I was wrecked. Then I saw the live on Conan version. Cooked!
It’s not often that a cover/remake blows the original out of my rotation, but this one? I’ve only been able to listen to the original twice since then.
The original version as said is almost 60 years old, has been covered numerous times, and beautifully by Pentatonix, but this is definitely one of the best covers! Pure, raw emotion
You’ve absolutely nothing to apologise for, it’s refreshing to see such a raw reaction to such a profound masterpiece, thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for reacting to this so honestly…you made me cry thank you….NEVER APOLOGISE FOR FEELING A SONG that is what songs are supposed to do. Never apologise NEVER.
The version he did on Conan Obrien was incredible. The scene just added to the atmosphere. Disturbed took this song and made it the angrier, more demanding version than Simon and Garfunkel did. It was just amazing watching him sing this live! Would love to see you do a reaction to that version!
Yes! It was amazing. Our man had the flu at the time too, he was outstanding.
Yes, that's when I first heard this! The crowd in that audience didn't know what hit them that night!
you're right Disturbed isnt usually soothing like this, they are aggressive, they are powerful and they are not afraid to speak out, but David knew that he wanted to treat this differently from his other works, as to not lose the original message of the song.
Now that you listen to this version of the song go listen to the original by Simon and Garfunkel they were the ones that wrote it
@@dianecoyle6943 lol heard it long ago lady, i'm 40 years old so i was almost born when it was made. lol j/k about that last bit, i HAVE heard it though, and still prefer Disturbed's take by leaps and bounds, just like Johnny Cash did Hurt better than NiN ever could.
It was David who decided to treat it as such. He wanted to "Disturbed" it up. His band mates suggested to not go that route.
@@terrellsutton7764 cap city
Disturbed took this song and turned it into their own. I had to analyze the lyrics for a college course one year and it can be interpreted so many ways and are still very relevant to today compared to when it was written in the 60s. Also David being classically trained In his younger years give his range so much diversity compared to the music Disturbed releases. Such a perfect mixture of his talent and invokes chills every time i hear it.
I’m 46 yrs old,live in the highlands of Scotland.
I listen to all kinds of stuff with headphones on through the day. I’ve heard many of your videos. What a well grounded boy you are,credit to who raised you.
This is one of my favourite songs… and here you are! Love for good music is global❤
The three versions, S&G, Pentatonix, and Disturbed all hit differently. Pentatonix gives a more hopeful vibe while this version is more dark and emotional.
Each version could be used to evoke different emotions with the right visuals. This vision of the song is very powerful.
"I don't remember Disturbed being a soothing band." 😆😆 I watched you react to Down with the Sickness right before this one. Opposite of soothing for sure. David has got to be one of the most talented and gifted vocalists I've ever heard. His ability to convey and inspire emotion with his voice is mind-blowing.
David's voice is so well trained...just love his tone and vocalization on this
I still feel this level of emotion EACH AND EVERY time I hear it. One of my old favorite songs became that x1000 from Dramon. It's indescribable.
Best cover songs for any band ever!
Check out their other covers. They pick songs that you'd never think a band like them could play😳💖
You should check out Leo from Frog Leap Studios on CZcams.
I have listened to this version of the song a lot, and it gives me the chills every time. Best cover ever!
This came from a time when singers and song writers were obsessed with social statements. Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, CCR, Jonie Mitchel, Jimmy Hendrix, Carly Simon, etc. Truly great writers and singers with social conscience.
But none of them could sing
I had the same reaction. It grabs your heart and squeezes out every emotion you have and replaces it with a mixture of joy and sorrow. It's intense and beautiful.
Just found your channel, young man. Greatly enjoyed watching your Linkin Park videos. You're the future of America, and the human civilization. Smart, kind, largely unassuming, and willing and able to look into different cultures and genres with an open mind, and open heart. I pray my two boys are as sharp as you when you grow older. Carry on, young man. :)
The best cover ever done! I love this, it gives me chills! ✌❤🎶
This version definitely invokes emotion and rings true!
I get the chills every time I listen to this. Hard to make a cover of a song better than the original but these guys did it!
I’ve always loved this song, even the original version, the words are pretty impactful. When I heard the Disturbed version, there were no words, it changed everything for me. This song changed meaning for me. His emotion, the what they play their instruments..the whole package is everything!!
I've eagerly been waiting for you to react to this song. Your GENUINE reactions are so heartfelt.
LFR JoJo:
'I don't remember Disturbed being a soothing band'
Me:hold tight!
Crying is a very common reaction to David's amazing singing and the original song and lyrics from Simon and Garfunkel.
Please keep reacting, you brighten up a dark world🙂
Hold On To Memories is another one that just grabs your heart and won't let go!
Exactly how i felt when he said "soothing" and sure enough, moments later, the waves of emotion slam into him.
I am so glad you mentioned both this and pentatonix covers. They are both beautiful in their own way. But your right about being able to feel how this one just hits the heart.
It gets everyone like that, it weaves it's
righteous notes and turns you upside down! Great reaction 🤩
This is a powerful song. It always has been. It's frickin' AMAZING! I'm glad that you felt something very similar to when I first did. I was at work when I first heard it. I stopped moving, sat down, and just stared at the stereo. I couldn't do anything else until the song was over. It's amazing and touching and powerful. And the way that they do the gradual build-up in the sound just makes it hit that much harder.
It doesn’t matter how many times I hear this ( this version, especially) I get goosebumps. It’s incredible.
It makes me so happy when people who enjoy different types of music can come together and appreciate the beauty and sound of this cover. Gives me goosebumps and brings me to tears how powerful David’s voice is. It’s like it forces the emotions out of your body. I love this cover so much, it really shows the range and skill that David has. It’s beautiful and speaks to me so deep.
The biggest compliment an artist can get is that you were so moved by their art that you have no words to express or portray how you feel...that's by far the best thing about ALL music to me...and why im believe I (and so many others) enjoy watching you and other people react to music that has moved us similarly...its a beautiful thing to watch a human being connect with another without even meeting...pretty awesome indeed. Thanks for killing it daily keep it up !
I knew there would be crying - we all cried. It's too beautiful, raw, and real. Much love 🤍
I absolutely love this cover Disturbed is such a good band, another song by them is "Down with the Sickness" I've been listening to it for years.
David Draiman...SUPER underrated. Perfect pitch, exceptional enunciation. He's outstanding.
This song is amazing and has such a pull for the heart strings, especially for me. It means alot to me. I've seen disturbed live a couple times and this song is always on the roster, for good reason. Its even better live, because you can feel the soul and the instruments.
I’m so glad another generation can feel the same way I felt when I first heard this song sung by S&G way back in the day. A perfect song, somehow perfectly covered. (Also, dude, never apologize for being authentic. It’s a great strength for a reviewer, and you rock.)
I love seeing the first reaction to this song. The first time I heard it I was driving - I had to pull over and stop. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Welcome to the world of mind blowing music to whoever hears this for the first time!!
I get chills every time I hear this version, and I've heard it so many times. It makes me so emotional 💜
Art and garfunkle are the origional singers. He's telling the story of silence with the video. Brilliant version.
Loved always Art and Garfunkel grew up with the original but this version and Pentatonix WOW WOW WONDERFUL 💞
Disturbed is normally a much harder sounding band. The song was originally sung and written by Simon and Garfunkle in 1964. It shows the true range of Disturbed. They also performed this song on Conan and, believe it or not, it's a better version than this album version.
it's "better" because they autotuned it even when David asked them not to, so no it's not better, support the live or album version, DO NOT support the Conan take.
"I dont remember Disturbed being a soothing band"!! lol.. They are usually not.. lol.. You have matured nicely into a grown man.. nice job Jojo! xo
Dude, seeing your reaction as is, is so good. As a fan of the band seeing someone hear this track for he first time and getting such a primal reaction to it, is wonderful.
Guy brought the total package for this cover...power softness range emotionality...and it did it his way but with respect for the original...one of the best covers of all time...
This song is a masterpiece and I love seeing how it affects new listeners, and it usually brings tears in a beautiful way.
This song, and particularly this version of the song, goes right through me. If you want to hear another that will pierce your soul, check out "Wrong Side of Heaven" by Five Finger Death Punch.
Love this song and both make me cry everytime no matter how many times I hear them.
I agree 💯%!
Wrong Side of Heaven is just brutal- you would have to be inhuman not to be gutted by that song- I love it but bloody hell it's a hard one.
Your reactions are spot on. Chills is a good word to describe it. The original is about 50 years old by Simon and Garfunkel and is a folk song with only guitars. You will fall out when you hear it because it is so completely different. You are loving it the way we all do. Dave is a trained cantor, Disturbed is really heavy and he is so open about addiction, depression and suicide. He is a beautiful man and to have this talent and still want to hurt himself is just not okay. But he is trying to help people know they can make it through it. So his voice reflects his feelings
the over all message..
is hope...
there are people in the darkness with you..
I wish more people saw this vid just to see how a song sung with pure emotion can hit someone in the feels. Love the song and deffo need more vids from you kid. Keep up the good work
"Feeling" the song is the magic of reaction videos. If all we wanted was analysis, you could just sit and talk about it long after you heard it. Great reaction. Keep up the great work and never be afraid to feel the music.
You felt Draiman; I felt you. Draiman is one of the best vocalists around. Well trained and what he does with this Simon & Garfunkle song is quite dynamic. Once you've heard it, you'll never forget it.
There is no apology required. As an old school rocker (going way back), I still get chills every time I hear this one.
A genuine masterpiece. Possibly the best cover of all time (the original belongs to Simon and Garfunkel, from the 1960s; Paul Simon was so impressed by this cover, that he said the song belongs to Disturbed, now.)
That was the greatest reaction to that song I’ve seen. I love how genuinely you can appreciate music.
So many judge Disturbed because of Down with the Sickness and David's shaved head. They have written some of the most meaningful songs I've heard in a long long time. Their cover of Sting's "If I ever lose my faith" is awesome. "Reason to Fight" is literally a life saver. "Hold onto Memories" is perhaps the most touching song I've heard in so long. "Inside the Fire" is a tough one to listen to but deals with what David went through as a teenager. Disturbed pours their hearts and soul into their music and it shows.
Listen to: AFI - Miss Murder
Shine down - 45
Linkin Park - Heavy, One Step Closer,
Papa Roach - Last Resort
Motionless In White - Abigail
Bloodywood - Ari Ari
You won't be disappointed
and now to check out not only the conan o brien performance of this, which fun fact this vocalist was sick with the flu during the performance. also you have to check out the original version by simon and garfunkel
no, the Conan version is forever tainted, they autotuned him against his request, respect David Draiman and DO NOT support Conan's airing.
Agree with other posts you MUST listen to the live Conan appearance they did with orchestra; it was absolutely haunting. The same intensity is in both versions, in my opinion. I can see you really "felt" this one.
Yeah. This one takes you places partially because of the video but mostly because of the powerful build of David’s voice - it brings a person along and the listener is compelled to take the journey.
But the live version recorded on Conan? Hang in for the ride - that one hits core deep in another way.
This song is my favourite cover of any S&G, and I’m old enough to have grown up on their stuff. This cover is very much the “we warned you but you didn’t listen” to S&G’s very lyrical warning - as so many have rightly commented. But this version, too, is it’s own warning, and it’s heavy. Are we willing to heed it this time?
Probably the cleanest most powerful voice of the last 30 years.
Enjoy the emotion from the song
Disturbed's music is beyond epic, David Draiman has a voice from the heavens. His metal tones, growl his raw emotion and talent is just out of the stratosphere.
Never be sorry for feeling, Jojo. Let it impact you. The power of music, bro. ❤️❤️❤️
Dude, I love watching your reaction vids. The point of music is to generate emotion, and you're not afraid to let that show. This is a very moving piece - heard it dozens of times and I get shivers everytime.
Why I love watching your channel isn’t because of what you say, it’s your genuine reactions and micro expressions to songs that have always triggered the deepest emotions in me, like this one. It’s beautiful and connecting to another human being in a different way x
You have a very genuine and robust capacity for music. Very good ear. I've watched a couple now and you have an innate ability to pick out individual elements quickly and yet take them all in as a whole. Keep it up
Fact, your emotions came from the fact your heart heard the song. Without that your ears could never have interpreted this to chills. Fantastic first hear. Your a good man with a sharp intuitive outlook. God bless and thanks for sharing this one with us. I know this song very well. A Simon and Garfunkel original, but Disturbed captured the essence and delivered.
Love disturbed this one is an amazing cover
Disturbed's version really made me feel the lyrics. Anytime I start to forget or feel callous to my fellow human's humanity-the pain and lonliness, the fear and joy that links us all despite our outward walls-
I listen to this and am reminded. We need each other. We need to break our silence.
it's nearly impossible to get young people to listen to such things. not only did you but brought tears.awesome for you.
