I really hope that David and the other members of Disturbed see this video. They should know how far their music reaches and see the lives that it touches.
It’s Simon & Garfunkels music
Agreed! :)
@@trentrez6643 Simon and Garfunkel wrote and preformed the original, this version is all Disturbed. Even Paul Simon is a fan of this. And my suggestion was based on this performance and David Draiman's amazing vocals.
@@RLKmedic0315 Yeah, im sure Paul Simon listens to Disturbed albums. Paul Simon claiming to be a fan doesn't change my opinion one bit
@@trentrez6643 Not sure what your problem is. Both versions of the song are great. The way the songs are arranged also allow them to emphasize different emotions through the same words. Distrubed's version takes absolutely nothing away from the original, nor was it meant to. My comment was, again, simply that I think it would be nice for the members of Disturbed to be aware that their music was appreciated by a group of people from a vastly different culture, literally on the other side of the world, but it was still enjoyed and appreciated. If I was a musician (I most certainly am not), I think that would be something I would like to know.
"Only knowledge or creativity could break ignorance"
No truer words have ever been spoken, my brother.
i agree, that man is truly wise
I agree 100%. Music is truly Universal…..a uniter, a healer.
Yes!
Wisdom breaks ignorance.
@@ryanforsythe8923 without creativity you can't learn new things. Neutralizing the ability to gain knowledge. And wisdom is having plenty of experience gained from knowledge....
My heart broke a little when Muharam said he felt like dancing and you interrupted him and told him it wasn't that kind of song. If ANY song makes you feel like dancing, hold onto that joy, regardless of what other people say. Muharam knowns how he felt, it touched him inside, he said it tied his heart up in knots, but that he felt hope. His opinions are just as valid as anyones!
Not all dancing is frenetic or even joyous. Much Modern dance can portray grief, loss, fear and hope.
Love your response. That's exactly what I thought
❤️
The gentlemen in blue really felt the depth of the song.
He's always my favorite!
Clear proof that music, regardless of language, culture and race, transcends all. Watching and listening to their reactions was a privilege and lesson for everyone. Thank you.
Music and food my friend, they are a universal language!
I am humbled by their interpretation of our music. They understood it in their own way and identified with the message. How powerful music like this can be when it transcends languages.
it’s just sad english speakers aren’t more open to other countries’ music lmao kpop is a good example, all i see is racism and xenophobia within just the U.S.
@@OutroBusan Stop it. Kpop is big all over the world at the moment... That is not a good example.
@@OutroBusan If I don't like music from another country because it might sound odd to me I'm racist and xenophobic - really?!
@@michaelschmidt9708 when did i say that? you obviously haven’t been on the internet long if you haven’t seen all these middle aged white men and their teenaged sons calling BTS racist terms just cuz they’re pretty and huge. it was a GREAT example, by the way lmao especially the whole “How powerful music like this can be when it transcends languages.” BTS have been the target of many racist and xenophobic attacks online lmfao even had death threats at their concert (they had to cancel).
MY POINT WAS: other countries who don’t speak english are more than happy to listen to english songs, even when they don’t speak it; yet when someone who is introduced to music that’s not in english, ESPECIALLY KOREAN MUSIC NOWADAYS since it IS huge, they dismiss it because it’s just “silly frufru shit” or “Damn, wish I could know what they’re saying”, or “How can someone listen to this and enjoy it without knowing what the words are lol” when the translations are literally,,,,,, right there.
@@OutroBusan I mean you say that, but kpop is kinda just shit. And before you say anything i listen to a shit ton of spanish, and German music and I'm in no way fluent in either. Your argument kinda falls apart when you think about it for more than a minute or two tbh. The racist shit is still pretty scummy if true tho
I love how the 2 older guys seemed to just get the message, without needing to have the lyrics explained to them.
My favorites
They feel and interpret beautifully. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (71 yrs)
I wonder if Paul Simon had expected how smartphones would make his song so incredibly salient.
@@Sorenzo I've read your comment on my phone after watching this video on the same phone. Youre right man. And now i'm putting it aside and decided to
take the dogs for a hike into the forest.
Wisdom
This is one of the best parts of the internet - discovering how we can connect with others in a meaningful way. I love these good people and would welcome all of them as neighbors.
I was feeling exactly what you said when watching this.
❤
❤ and music ❤ and poetry ❤ exponentially interconnecting people 🥰
YES!
You're so right! We should do an interpretation from our side back.
Just give us a song and a team - and, of course, an explainer for us...
Music is intercontinental, I'm sure
I love these people. They’re so pure and kind. ❤ A good dose of common sense and purity in an otherwise chaotic and wicked world. It gives me hope to watch their reactions.
"Having conversation for a human is just like the tune up for a vehicle. It helps the parts and filters get clean. It does the same for a person. These little talks clean our mind". I love the way this mans mind deconstructs things. He always ends up cutting right to the heart of the matter.
I had to call my son over to hear just that part. That was like a message to my heart!
That particular line resonated so much with me. It's almost verbatim something my therapist has often told me - she literally calls it "attuning" my mind. I struggle with anxiety and tend to overthink, and sometimes I can get lost in the negative narratives of my own mind if I spend too much time alone; that's when I need to get out of my own head and speak with other people to ground myself again, to help me realize that many of my anxious brain's fears and worries are out of proportion and often have little to no basis in reality.
The man in the turban has so many little snippets of wisdom
Indeed
He’s a sage.
Each of these people speaks like a poet to me they have such deep meaningful things to say every time I watch. Thank you
"Life begins with darkness, sir, in the mother's womb. The darkness of the world is nothing compared to that."
Smoof ... I heard this comment while watching the video. You offer it here in print. When I read it, the angst I felt in my soul brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for bringing his comment to the forefront.
The elderly people is really filled with such knowledge that even with the kind of technology we have today not once did I hear this words, to me this is such an enlightenment... (I'm not a church goer but boy this makes me want to just want sit with my mom in silence.)
@@johndreigrandheart7485 the elderly have within them a whole universe of knowledge that unfortunately most people aren't willing to experience it
@@MegaMerdeux - This is so true. "When the elderly die, a library is lost, and volumes of wisdom and knowledge are gone"
Yes his wisdom is phenomenal!
It was described perfectly; he spoke to the darkness, because he felt it was the only thing that would listen.
Even now, many, MANY years after the original was written, this song ks still, SO impactful.
I know it's been memed to death, but it may never have been more relevant....
Also, the older gentleman I the pale blue shirt and glasses - bless his gentle soul. He just sat there, so intently focusing and enjoying the whole thing. You could see he was THERE for the song.
They are all so amazing, and it's easy to enjoy things WITH them.
This song was written during the Vietnam war. A wonderful protest song. I usually don't go for cover songs, but this one was truly exceptional. I enjoyed listening to these amazing people. They got it!
Wonder if Paul Simon likes his version.
@@TREVASLARKPaul LOVED this version and even said he preferred it to his own.
I don't usually like cover songs myself and have only enjoyed a handful. Disturbed does a cover on every album and they are ALWAYS amazing. Sometimes better than the original, like with Sound of Silence. The only other one that's better (or tied) Metallica's cover of Turn the Page, which is a Bob Seger song that he only does live.
There is a guy who does a boat load of heavy metal covers on CZcams and that's Leap Frog Studios. He's amazing. But do check out Disturbed's other covers. Land of Confusion is a good one.
And I feel like Muharam (Hopefully not addressing him disrespectful like this?) has such a profound experience whilst listening to this. It's beautiful to share. And I adore his hand gestures, they are so expressive in their own right.
I agree. He has a gentle spirit about him.
I like to watch a lot of the videos with the "tribal people "
I love this so much. I've grown so fond of these men and appreciate their perspective so very much.
He always seems to like or be open to most music
I'm glad I was not the only person to notice / react to that - and feel the same way.
Are you referring to the man in the light blue shirt with the white cap (sorry, I don’t know what is the cap called?) if you are, I loved his expressions…it was as if the music was touching his heart.
Abduls reaction to the lyric "Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again" is unreal. He responds with "Life begins in darkness, in a mothers womb." For some reason that literally sent chills down my spine when he said that man, absolutely amazing. He sees life, light, and dark in such a unique way it seems. He must be a fascinating person to talk to.
I felt the same when he spoke those words. The immediate insight he displays, the thoughtful recognition of human truth is such that I want to hear more from him.
@@PapasPixels any religious people, especially middle eastern people tend to have a more positive outlook on everything. Someone close to them could die, and they would be accepting of it, due to their beliefs.
Yeah, CHILLS!! he was so connected to the depths of meaning in this great song - and so early into it. Wisdom there. Great Video!
I had to rewind to this part, I got chills with the second part of what he said
"Life begins in darkness, in a mother's womb."
"The darkness of the world is nothing compared to that."
amazing response
This version of this song is so emotional, hypnotic from the very first note, you see all of them, lean in, get serious, actually watching, listening, as soon as David starts singing....
To be fair, he truly has a beautiful voice.
It really shows when he does 'quieter' or more solemn songs.
@@killdizzle I think, the fact the lyrics so clear, easy to understand, get lost in, makes a huge difference...
First, I want to say what a great job you did translating the lyrics. English is a difficult language in itself--but to translate poetry? And into a language that is only loosely-related? You folks are truly scholars, and you should receive the honor you deserve for that!
Secondly, I am awestruck at the level of insight the participants interpreted the lyrics with. They have a lot of life experience, and they know how to apply it--even to music written half a century and half a world away. Humanity at it's finest.
I do want to touch on an idea a few of them engaged with: there is a tension in this song about what exactly silence is. It is good to take moments of silence and darkness, but silence is also ignorance and death. I really feel that tension in the nature of silence was intentionally written in there--and I can see it playing out in the the discussions.
i LOVE the old guy. He is wise beyond words.
Darknes of the womb
Overthinking can give you a hear attack
These little talks clean oru minds.
Every one of them speaks with such depth. Listeners here: Awesome dude.
I am struck by the depth of their understanding with just the video and not understanding the words.
Always a treat.
He's cool, and looks like he's straight out of the seventh century, in a good way.
Abdul Aziz Rind is great, that is always my image of how great prophet from the east talks if you meet them up in the dessert. Throw him many questions, he will answer with such a wise wisdom and shocking truth that even resonate into the future. But the other guys and girls also has that wisdom and nature, but Abdul is just mesmerising
Abdul Aziz, you should have your own channel 😁
@@selaimutiara Thank you for saying the name. I do him no honor calling him the old guy. He is the embodiment of integrity.
I agree, what awesome man! also ''thinking too much gives anxiety, it's very important to meet poeple and gather''. Just look at results from COVID restrictions. lol!
Why am I not surprised that Grandfather has such wisdom. It's as the other gentleman said "once a man is 40 he understands".
The man's reaction in light blue shirt is so pure and filled with awe, it's amazing how feelings and understanding can transcend language. They all get it now, but that man felt it.
💯
He was awesome
Mr. Bughio! I love his heart!
I've watched a few of these videos now and find myself wanting to meet the guy. He seems like such a gentle, compassionate, empathic soul. I can only imagine the sorts of life changing conversations/revelations I'd have with him.
@@lordgoofus2364 I have spent time in Saudi, Afghanistan, Iraq, turkey, Kuwait, and Africa.... the local villagers in most the countries are polite and friendly. They just want to live
I could literally just sit all day and listen to everyone in this video just tell me about there day. They are all genuine and precious human beings and I always enjoy watching them react.
Me too!!
"Life begins with darkness, Sir, in a mother's womb; the darkness of world is nothing compared to that."
That hit me harder than anything I've read.
The man in the light blue shirt is precious. Not only does he get the lyrics, he appreciates David's incredible voice. I loved this!
He is very passionate and actually feels the song and in turn the meeting. I love his spirit.
Couldn’t have said it better!!
for real, he has like a spiritual experience listening
I loved his reaction to the Pentatonix too
Couldn't agree more 100%
This is amazing. This is EXACTLY what made Simon + Garfunkel's music so timeless, and Disturbed's cover so impactful. The combination of a brilliant lyric with many layers of meaning that is intensely human, with such a powerful presentation which is in truly distinct opposition to the original recording, it's a masterpiece that transcends culture and language. It's a difficult thing to translate in words but it's so clear that each of these folks did understand in their own way and felt meaning in it.
Unless your from that era. I know exactly what the lyrics mean and it was written, it was way before its time.
Beautifully said. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@sallymcmurray949 I was a preteen in that era and yes, much was going on in the world that sparked the lyrics (see my post). However, I was wonderful hearing it explained and then their interpretations. After doing so the song has even greater meaning for me.
The man in the light blue/silver was absolutely correct when he said that you want to dance to it, but at the same time, it wrenches your heart. I find this song is beautiful, and dark, but not without hope. Even feeling alone, you can find people in the same space as yourself. Even when no one is speaking, you share an idea. There is always light to move towards if you just look.
This is personally one of my favorite songs. I enjoy it even more now, having heard their take on it. Thank you.
This song sung by this man, make emotions well up inside me and makes me cry everytime. The lyrics are so profound and yet so simple and the message is so important❤
THIS is what CZcams can do. New perspectives, interesting people, simple concepts put together with a focus on the people. Love your work and I hope the message of positivity travels all around the world.
Yes! The potential of the internet and social media is in how we use it! To share knowledge and experiences. I love that I could show a 74 year old woman in a homeless shelter concerts she went to when she was young, or she could show me actors she had a crush on!
Yeah, only of the people running the show understand the context of the source.
I absolutely loved this thank you! 🙂👍💕
Exactly!

In my 20 years of traveling this world as a U.S Marine, the most beautiful thing I got to see was how music touches everyone. This was absolutely beautiful to see everyone's reactions and to hear their thoughts. I loved seeing the emotion and contemplation on everyone's face here. I felt blessed by listening to their wisdom. I wish everyone who participated in this all the best in life. Thank you for reminding me that we are all family.
music connects people. the wonderful thing is you dont have to understand the language.
@@cko78 Absolutely! It's a beautiful and universal language! As you can tell by my name, I love Heavy Metal. It was also great to travel the world and se how every culture does something of their own to Metal to make it their own.
Rah devil
Give'em one!!
Music comes from the vibrations of the universe and everyone can feel those vibrations.
The man speaking behind the camera gave such insight into the meaning of this song, and the emotions behind it. I never even thought of the lyrics too much, but wow, this song seems even more powerful after hearing these people give their thoughts on it. We have so much to learn from each other, if only we'll take the time to listen. Great video everyone!
The man in the blue shirt that said 'amazing dear bro' he got it. I loved watching his gratitude and understanding of this great gift of words, instruments and voice.
That's amazing. When he got to the part where his rough vocals came in, none of them batted a single eye. They just took it for the message it was. No judgment, and they even found it kinda cool and wanted to hear his original tracks.
Mohammad instantly got it, Paul Simon is a songwriting genius. I hope you also played S&G version for them so they can hear the original beautiful voices 😲😲
My daughter did a breakdown of the meaning of this song and I was fascinated by what she saw in it as an 18 year old as opposed to what I saw at 46. I have loved the original my whole life, and when Disturbed covered it I loved it just as much. Both versions were appropriate for the time they were recorded, and it amazes me how it is still so relevant.
I find it funny how different generations of people think they are so different. I thought the same when i was younger.
At the end of the day we are all the same. For all our differences we are the same.
We make the same mistakes, repeat the mistakes of the past. We long for the same things and try to find the same meaning in our existence.
@@anthonyreynolds3418 HUGS !!
Love this idea. I can't wait to ask my children for their interpretations as the world is still in diassaray
They listeners are very perceptive and understand without having to have a lot of translation. Their hearts are open and they understand. God bless ❤
"Having a conversation for a human is like getting a tune-up for a vehicle" -I love this quote and the man who said it, thank you for enriching my life today
anxiety comes from isolation which is clearly not human nature hence the effects . He solved anxiety with one line. speak to others. Small talk works equally
beautiful words of wisdom
No matter how many times I see reactions to Disturbed's "Sound of Silence", I always get goosebumps. It's amazing how the song starts out quietly and keeps building until you are blown away by the ending. It really is quite an experience.
It rises ans wells so well. Goosebumps everytime I hear it. And I listen to it a lot.
Yes! That's what I tell everyone who does a reaction video, I always get goosebumps every time I hear it.
Best performance of a song ever. Ever!
@@Horselings Simon and Garfunkel version was sad - Disturbed version is angry - very different
AGREED amazing Song, Lyric and Cover version (for it's uniqueness and opposing style to the original!) VERY POWERFUL! When I first heard this I was listening to it non stop for about a month it REALLY touched me deeply both the meaning and his delivery! (The original never did that I had heard it, but I guess because of the style it passed over me at the time plus I was young at the time) now I like both versions but for me this sounds like an original due to the power of the delivery adding weight to the genius & deep lyrics.. kind of reinforcing the importance of them and the song in my opinion anyway.. 👍🏴
This was interesting. Seemed that some were almost overwhelmed with emotion at times.
Each of them had a unique perspective on their perceived meaning of the song.
So genuine in their way of expressing everything. I wish I could hang out with them for a while. ❤
As a young German, who knows nothing about your culture. It is amazing how Sir Abdul Aziz Rind speaks with a wisdom of a wise man. I really would have enjoied such a guidance in my life. Great Content, may you all live in peace an harmony
I absolutely loved the reaction to the music from the first man in the light blue shirt. He seemed like he felt the meaning even if he didn't understand the words. Music is such a powerful thing.
I was curious as to what his gestures meant
If you watch other videos he reacts the same. He's got music in his soul
@@theoramcharan8536 it isbecause of him that I subscribed and watched everyvideo the channel has put out. :D I am always so glad to see him, his joy always makes my day.
"Dear, you bring such fascinating things each time."
I don't know that warmed my heart, but it did. Music is the soul's language.
Though, I am a little concerned that they want to see the rest of Disturbed's songs....
you could even say it makes you... Disturbed? :P
Send them straight from this song to "Down with the Sickness" and see how the reaction changes lmao.
Yes, I laughed at the thought. But who knows maybe David's soul is what they would see and not the words he sings.
LET THEM!!
@@artisannoteworthy let them , what?
I lovvvvvvve listening to your analysis of this song. I know the words from when Paul Simon &Art Garfunkel sang it ages ago, but never really broke it down in my mind as you did. For that I am eternally grateful- it was as if hearing it for the first time. 🙏🙏
This video touched my very soul. "The Sound of Silence" has been one of my favorite songs my entire life. I know what it means to me, but to hear people from a culture very different from my own express their appreciation and interpretation of this song has helped me to see it in a new light, through new eyes. Thank you for that.
It has been a true honor to stumble on this channel. While your guests may be learning about many new things watching these videos, we the viewers are also gaining much education and wisdom. Love and respect from Texas!
Learning that Paul Simon was a genius is an excellent thing to take away from hearing this, haha. He was truly a poet. I have shivers listening to this song, regardless of whether it's the original or this cover, even with it broken up for translations, it is so impactful, and speaks to us as humans. This is one of my favorite covers of the song because you can tell how strongly David Draiman can communicate the emotions behind it. So many other covers, in my opinion, have fallen short.
I heard but can't confirm that both Simon and Garfunkel said they prefer this version of the song to their own. I like both but they do convey a different mood for which you prefer at any given time.
Paul Simon wrote it when he was 21... think on that as well. ^.^
@@RhysGFrelsa-Eudyptula wow, amazing.

thank you guys again for sharing your thoughts from across the globe and hope you enjoy reacting to these videos as I do see you react to these new experiences
The man translating the video for them does such a good job. He makes them all understand the underlying meaning of the song, it’s really incredible. Great video!
Sir Muharam's reactions, the praying, Jesus I LOVE this man's soul!!
And the interpretations, are so spot on, and THEY GET IT!!!!
Thank you so much for featuring this.
So many people this song has touched, David, the singer, was a Cantor when he was young, and what a God given talent he has!!
He is lovely.
I like how different their reactions are, one is more analytical and one is obviously really feeling the sound and emotions,... this made my day. It is really wonderful to watch them.
These guests that in which you have, have all said something that has touched my heart. They all have an incredible connections with words and their emotions, everything seems so much more sincere.
It shows the true power of a great song that it transcends time and cultures and still makes an impact. The meaning of this song was relatable when it was written and still is now. Incredible
I feel like the gentleman with the very full white beard is just understanding everything straight away. Like he doesn't need the language to feel the message. I love it. Cheers to all who participated! I'm definitely watching more of these!!!
Me too !!
I love Abdul...so heart-centred wise
It's not that it's really silence. There's noise...there's words... but they mean nothing. Nobody is actually "communicating"... connecting with each other. It's the silence of real personal connection.
people talking without speaking= texting
people hearing without listening= twitter
@@pitbull1026 Yes and no.
@@pitbull1026 you have to realize.. none of that was around when Paul Simon originally wrote the song. Disturbed and David realized it’s gotten even worse and wanted to push the message again. I believe there are a few videos of him explaining why they choose this song on CZcams if you want to hear his thoughts!
I think it is the opposite. Silence is louder than noise. Think about how unnatural it is to be able to hear a pin drop and the discomfort that goes along with that, that is the sound of silence. It is heavy. I always felt like this song was about standing up for what you thought was right. "People writing songs that voices never shared, no one dared, disturb the sound of silence". People thinking about what is right to them but not being able to stand up for it. That is just my interpretation though, of course.
I cried listening to these beautiful people telling us how the song, music and especially the lyrics alongside Dave's enchanting [no other word for it! ] vocals. I felt myself sat at a round table talking with them. Thank you to your lovely guests and thank you for making this very uplifting video that gives me a modicum of hope for humanity.
Their interpretations is the reasons why music and art are very important. I think that Disturbed would be humbled by knowing they touched others in different countries.
For me personally, I feel that the lyrics are a warning of what happens when we allow our voices to be lost to creeping oppression of our own design. The "sound of silence" is people afraid to talk, afraid to seek knowledge and explore their creativity, or lack thereof, and afraid to share their opinions and thoughts in case it shatters the lives they live. Not knowing that, without their voice, they aren't really living at all. Music is, after all, the expression of self through harmonic sound. I think Katy Perry's "chained to the rhythm reflects this as well though the style is entirely different (being that Katy's individuality shines through as Dave's does here). Both amazing artists.
It's wonderful to see music reaching people so far away. Though not unexpected. We are all human, after all, and there is a base part of us that music, done well, can always reach no matter how far apart we might be emotionally, physically or culturally.
Going through the motions while not actually living.
I do agree, this song, along with the title, has so many different meanings in it. the title alone can be the silence of people getting addicted to technology to the point of withdrawing from others, or silence of not standing up for others when needed and allowing the suffering of others. the addiction to technology is expressed in the lines "when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night and touched the sound of silence" and " people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening", "and the people bowed and prayed to the neon God they made" and not standing up for others when they said "people writing songs that voices never share and no one dare disturb the sound of silence" and " 'fool' said I 'who do not know, silence like a cancer grows." plus, like the guy in the video said about the line in the naked light I saw 10,000 people maybe more, it could be referring to social media now and the we're not really feeling alone. this song was ahead of it's time, disturbed just put the feeling that should be with it
Neon God was TV in the 60's. Now, this song has another meaning for me, social media.
Ppl don't communicate anymore how humans are supposed to communicate.
TV was bad for communication back then, all watching TV and not communicating anymore with other ppl, but nowadays?
Humans lost their social and communication skills, especially our teenagers and even kids. How sad.
Humans need facial expression and body language beside words on a screen!!
Ppl are like monkeys nowadays, typing words in stead of talking/speakinh, communicate through a phone or keyboard.
Neon God is social media for me, technology.
How poor we get, that is what I think when I see ppl in a restaurant, all heads down, eyes at their screen.
Or a group of teenagers. Really not okay.
I'm astounded that this message carries so clearly across the decades and across cultural and geographical boundaries. This channel keeps reminding me that there is still so much left of the world to explore and so many more people yet to meet.
And reminds me that we are divided by lies! Hopefully that ends at some point sooner than later
Humans can be bottomless pits of knowledge
It's amazing how they view the music... They seem to understand the deep meaning, especially the one in blue... He seems to appreciate it all
I love this version of this song. While Paul's brilliance wrote the words, David's incredible talent and understanding of the intended message brought this song to life for the very first time. Bravo! I'm always so overwhelmed and brought to tears (enjoyment of music) every time I hear this version, without fail. I loved the audience's pure enjoyment and insightful interpretations of the video they viewed. David Dramen's performance is my ideal, as well!
I am so happy this channel exists. I could listen to the people on this channel talk for hours. They are so wise, genuine, and kind. I think it would be quite something to sit and talk with them all in person. Love and respect from Germany!
I agree ☝️
I was 5 years old when it was written and it remained popular for decades. Paul Simon sang it gently as that was his voice and style. 55+ years later this version stunned me into realizing it is a warning. And I do mean stunned! I’m glad I was alone the first time I heard this version. I’m a crusty old biker who had no clue all these years what the lyrics were really saying, and suddenly my face was leaking heavily.
Much love to all the old souls involved in this channel. Let’s continue to pray and fight against tyrannical evil all around the world.
I saw a comment on another video about this song that I feel was a great description. They basically said the original version was the original warning. This version expresses anger over the warning being ignored all these years. This is one of those rare songs that is every bit if not more relevant today as the day it was written.
Your reaction to David’s version was also mine. Having heard the original by Paul Simon as a young teen I I didn’t get it. When David did his own cover of all these years later, yeah, I got it and my reaction was profound. I wept like a baby and cry every time I hear it.
Almost everyone seems to like the idea that Simon and Garfunkels version is the warning and Disturbeds version is the Rage from not being listened to,
I've always seen this two ways, David sings with a visceral raw emotion of pain and loss of our souls aswell as the joining and union that music provides,
The video is more of a unification of classical music and modern metal, that each generation finds their own voice and if suppressed will destroy.
But idk
No extra charge for "leaking", bro; I was reading "The Story of Ruth" the other day, and when I got to the part where Naomi had come back empty handed and thinking God had rejected her, only to find out it was all a set up, not only for her, but for something far greater, including the nation and the world, I broke as well. The truth, and the Author of truth are in for the long haul; they don't get bent out of shape about some little (or even big) stumbles.👍
I never heard the original version. Disturbed's is the first time I heard it. I was riding in the back of my dad's truck headed to town on a back road away from the main highway. As listened to the lyrics I pictured how would people express themselves when they would no longer be able to. An example is how the Scottish kept the way to play the bagpipes alive. Even though it was illegal for them to be played they didn't stay silent. Just as many Native American tribes did for their music dances stories and languages.
This proves how music can transcend cultural differences. Disturbs SOS is one of my favourite songs ever & I love the wisdom that these people have to share with us. I want Muharam for an Uncle, I love his energy 😊 Great channel!
The wisdom of these wonderful folks touches my heart. Music is magic. I would love for them to show some of their songs so we can hear their magic.
Parvati is glowing today ✨ 😍 you picked a great group of people for this channel wouldn't have it any other way
That red is absolutely beautiful on her ❤️
Disturbed is one of my favorite bands. David Draiman is a classically trained singer, specifically as a cantor in Jewish practice. They are a Metal band but they do other cover songs as well, however their original songs are amazing. Another song of Disturbed's about this type of message is called "The Vengeful One". It's a harder rock song than this but you all have listened to Metallica, Jinjer and Rammstein already 😄. It's also a pretty cool music video as well. Another great reaction video. Your channel never fails to humble me in respect of everyone there. Thank you. 😎👍
David; I didn't know that about him. It takes power to sing as a cantor; i bet his cants are etherial. I'm down with the sickness!
I think Prayer would also be a good one to introduce them to
Thanks for the background information. People are endlessly fascinating.
Beautiful! I loved watching their deep appreciation and expressions on their faces, you can see the song touched their souls...this gave me chills to watch :)
This is absolutely one of my favorite reviews of Sounds Of Silence with these lovely and unbiased people !
This was my husband's favorite song sadly he lost his battle with cancer before he had a chance to hear David's version. The words carry more meaning to me now
I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@killinglonliness88 thank you
@@7eyeswideopen177 You’re quite welcome.
Condolences to you and your family...wishing the best for you and yours and stay strong

Sound of Silence - 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
Hello, im from Germany/Berlin, 38 years old, i was impressed by the cover and searched for reactions, i found ur video, and now im in tears, but happy tears...cause i have hope for the humans....im impressed of all of your feelings, and words.

I have just found this channel and I am so mesmerised with everything about it.
Am I the only one nearly crying every time when these wonderful people experience music?
No .
If you were the ONLY one nearly crying that would mean the world is a very sad place.
No this video just hit me like a train. Music is the most amazing blessing everyone with a soul can understand. They just completely got it
I love hearing their thoughts on everything. The respect they show is amazing. I hope they know that in America they have friends and ppl who love them for their respect and honesty. I look forward to seeing more.

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
I love the comment at the end about going out and looking at a group of 5 people, each existing in their own world. Lost in their phones, their day dreams, really gives one pause to consider the absolute truth of that statement, and a beautiful interpretation of the meaning of these lyrics.
The raw emotion in David's voice makes this a very powerful and moving song for me. I already loved the original, then this came along and blew it out of the water.
The emotion in his singing, and also the pain written on his face. It is so raw, it almost hurts me to watch. I can feel it myself, in the depths of my soul. So powerful.
Someone tried to say this was for Delores from the Cranberries...she died years after the release of this cover 😕
The same for me. Simon & Garfunkel's version is a masterpiece. It's a beautiful song with a great melody and amazing harmonies. His vision of the song is almost otherworldly. I was born 17 years after the release of this song and I grew up listening to it in the early 80s. It's been one of my all time favorite songs throughout my life. In the early 90s I started getting into alternative, grunge and heavy metal. During the late 90s and early 2000s it almost appeared that heavy metal was almost dead. Then came along Disturbed with their hits: Down With the Sickness and Stupify. I was very familiar with Disturbed from the early 2000s. Then around 2015-17 I came across his cover of this song and didn't know what to expect. A classic singer songwriter song of the 60s in which that era of music has become my favorite era of all music is about to be done by a modern heavy metal band. I first came across his live performance on Conan. I was literally impressed, in shock and in awe. A few weeks later I had found out that during his performance on Conan, he refused auto tune and he had sang the song with a head cold and would have never known the difference if I didn't listen to an interview with him. During that interview I had also found out that he personally chose to take Opera Lessons in order to have anger and to be able to sing with a bit of screaming that would not ruing or damage his vocal cords. Talk about dedication. He's an absolute amazing singer. I already knew his early works and liked his heavy metal music but never knew that he could actually sing that good and he actually had a very good singing voice. His control and pronunciation of words is above par, his projection of emotion and soul is beyond this world, and his range and ability to both hold and sustain notes and to transition to notes in different registers is phenomenal. Then I went on to watch the official music video on CZcams. Paul may have written a masterpiece and gave us all a blessing with a wonderful song, but this man David stole the show. I've heard others cover this song over the years and most fell short compared to the original, and now Draiman owns it! There was one other group that did this song which was quite different where I was impressed and truly enjoy their cover and that was done by Pentatonix or PTX for short. They did an amazing job on this song too. Very few covers of this song have ever impressed me but these two have. Between them, I still say that even as impressive as PTX is with their pure Acapella talent and amazing voices that Disturbed has earned his wings with this song. Even Paul Simon in an interview said virtually the same thing. He said something on the lines, this is how the song should have sounded all along. When he originally wrote the song, Simon & Garfunkel had to play it in a manner according to the popular style of the music in their day otherwise the record companies or labels would have never produced it. This is how it is supposed to be and I don't see anyone anytime soon topping it.
@skillz8098 very well put. I agree, except for the heavy metal part. I have a different perspective. I grew up listening to metal in the late 80s/early 90s (I graduated HS in 1991). I felt like grunge killed rock N roll, including metal. To me, alternative was my replacement. To this day, I dislike most grunge music, especially Nirvana. I held them responsible for killing my music. I know that is stupid now. Still can't find my way to liking Nirvana though. I DO agree there was some come-back in the 2000s. And, I agree that Simon and Garfunkle's version was excellent, too. This is one re-make that equals or even possibly exceeds the original. To be fair, the two versions are so different. They are almost completely different scores of music. I get goosebumps every time I hear Disturbed version. BTW, thanks for all the additional info. Very interesting to know David took Operatic lessons. I come from a classical background; being a pianist since the age of 9, in addition to being a heavy metal chic that enjoyed the oldies in her high school years (50s, 60s & 70s for me), and loving 80s pop. I appreciate and enjoy most types of music, and think it is cool when people cross their genres. P. S. I, too, enjoyed the Pentatonix version, although they have better cover songs in my opinion, such as Hallelujah, and Bohemian Raphsody. I think they excel in Christmas music mostly.
@@christinacoffman1843 I like PTX's Evolution of Music. That is something else, and I love their Christmas music, especially Little Drummer Boy, Carol of the Bells, Mary Did You Know, Silent Night, and more...
When I say grunge Nirvana was okay, but for me, I liked Pearl Jam, S.T.P., Alice In Chains... For me, I like just about anything that is related to Rock N Roll or Rock. I also like R&B, Soul, Doo-Wop, and more. I don't care too much for modern country, but I do like the older country from the 60s & 70s.
I'm familiar with and have a background in music. I had played the trumpet all through middle and high school. I don't just enjoy basic radio music. I also like things such as Drum and Bugle Corps, Movies like Whiplash, Riverdance was great, and more. For me, music is what moves the soul.
4:43 As someone that has several facial piercings, I really appreciate this being said. Too many times people are misjudged for how they choose to personally express themselves. My piercings are a part of me. It's who I am.
Edit: It makes me feel good to see so many people brought together by one comment.
I’ve had a heavy septum since before it was trendy. My piercing is deeply sentimental as was the stretching. It means a lot to me on a personal level and is part of my journey, part of who I am. Having it co-opted by sjw types and just “trending” on general sucks. Yeah I have this piercing, no that culture is not mine.
I mean isn't piercings a part of their culture it should come as no shock to see someone else with piercings
@@creepy-kitty Were did you see anything about shock? This guy just asked, why is he having chin piercings, as far as I understood, out of interest. This is why the answer was out of personal reasons, not religious or cultural.
And to be fair, this type of piercings arent seen every day.
@HermitWinter
Your piercings are a part of you? They're who you are? Oh, okay, so you were born with them. Otherwise they're just an ugly bastardization of the beautiful, perfect body you were *_actually_* born with.
@@lisahinton9682 And that is your opinion. How you see me is not how I see me. What matters is how I see myself.
Each one of you, make up such a wonderful group! I love to see your expressions, and read each of your interpretations of the songs. Music, truly is the universal language that brings us all together! Best wishes from Canada.🥰
So outstanding!!!! I adore this group of men. Amazing and Thank you so much.
Thank you for making this video, this is one of my favourite songs and I love how Disturbed sings it! To me, the "Silence" they talk about is the lack of connection between humans. No one dares to break the "silence" of being alone, but one man trying to reach out with music slowly inspires others to pick up their own instruments and also reach out. In this modern age, we've lost some of our ability to form simple human connections. Reaching out and trying to defeat that "silence" of loneliness is difficult, but worth it.
Love this. They watch and listen with such intensity, respect and interest. They way they interpreted it and what they said before and during the song are so wise and spot on true. ❤️
Enjoyed the video... Desturbed is a very talented group of people. David the singer has a beautiful well trained voice... the song makes me cry... holds a lot of truth.
Loved your assessment of the song. Thank you so much for sharing.
The gentleman in the light blue shirt was feeling the emotion of the music and singing and it was glorious. I loved this reaction and I truly hope that David sees this.
The old man, with the beard, has a wisdom about him. He's very observant and his words have weight. Definitely would love to sit and talk with him. He has much to teach anyone who wants to listen.
He definitely does that's I like watching their videos.
absolutely
I came here to comment exactly the same thing.
Yes, I love him when he mentioned darkness is in the womb.....such beauty he has
"life begins with darkness sir in a mother's womb, the darkness of world is nothing compare to that"
man, that was wise... I'll definitely use this phrase a lot of times in my life (and people will think that I'm the wise one)
As a metalhead, I loved his statement. I think it may the most metal think ever being said.
Wow, so beautiful. Thank you for calling us friends that was very sweet! American culture is beautiful. I love it here and thank you for exploring our culture.
Their questions are so great. People being people is so touching. I just love the interest and attempt to understand other cultures.
The interpretation of this song (and others I've seen on this channel) feels so spot-on to me. I mean absolutely no disrespect when I say that I am fully entertained by this panel and, if given the chance, would welcome the opportunity to just be human together... to "get it", and marvel that maybe we aren't all so different after all.
We are not different at all, just culturally different. Tribal people have the `mind of Poet. They mind have not been corrupted with materialism.
I’d love to have a meal and long conversation with all of these people.
I'd love to see their reaction to him singing live and how he holds his hands.. Having been raised Jewish and taught to be a Cantor, he still holds a lot of the old mannerisms that show it.. it's especially visible on this song when he was live on Conan O'Brien's show, right at the end he touches his forehead with both hands in a bow, and then opens his arms wide. I've also seen concert footage of him singing while holding his hands up, palms up, as if he was reading scripture as both Muslims and Jews do.
I really love this cultural exploration of music and how experience it differently though more so the same. The Sound of Silence is one of the most powerful songs I know. Really enjoyed the video and to the tribal people - wishing you and your loved ones happiness, health, joy, and success in all of those things into which you put your hands, hearts, minds, and spirits. Blessed Be Brothers & Sisters Of Our World.
What a beautiful reaction, such a powerful song.. I was born in '63, to a world in flux and pain.. and here we are, still the same.
I loved the interpretation given to this song. All I could think is YES, this guy gets it. When he said the light represents the glamour of this world I thought that was a great way to describe worshipping the materialism and commercialism we created. I could tell how much they all appreciated the music and the message. I could see they were moved.
neon god referred to television... people sitting around it, watching and hearing... speech dying... carried on vast and far more deadly by our phones now... basically the acceptance of technology as a replacement of God, with something silent that gave no life... that they had made themselves
I also interpret the "neon god" as television (now internet/ phones). I love hearing their interpretations as well. The best art is left open to the individual's interpretation and no one person's interpretation is wrong.... it's just how the piece speaks to you.
Every time I watch one of these, I am wholly impressed by the insight each person has into a song they’ve never heard from another culture.
I find it really interesting how the guy in the turban had an interesting take on each part of the lyrics, while the guy in the blue shirt was straight up vibing. It's awesome to see how the power of music can provoke such a different reaction in different people.
I absolutely love this channel. Seeing the common threads of art and understanding throughout humanity is an amazing and absolutely necessary thing to see.
I don't know how i found this channel, but i love it. This people are amazing, and their reactions are truly amazing. They are full of wisdom. Please send them a really big salute from Argentina, and a huge "thanks" for all of you that bring this to us. I would love to hear them react to a lot of thigs of here, but in terms of music, "Solo le pido a Dios" (i only ask God) of the Argentinian artist Leon Gieco, tho i know that it's hard. A Really big greetings from Córdoba, Argentina to you all.. thanks for this channel!! 🙌
Oh my word! This brought chills and tears to my eyes. I remember the original song, and only recently allowed myself to listen to this version and it is indeed powerful. I loved the reactions, especially the gentleman with the light blue shirt and silver-white headdress. The way he used his hands to express his emotional reaction to the song - his heart was wrenching to it. I really appreciated their wisdom, and yes - Paul Simon is a genius.
I am so pleased to have found these videos. It is amazing to see and hear other people's opinions on this music. Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is the best cover version ever. I played it to my mum , who saw Simon & Garfunkel live in the 60's , and we both said at the same time ..."He nailed it" ...Amazing to hear someon from so far away that has never heard that kind of music before , say the exact same thing. You must play them the original and let them know about their message of peace and learning above all else.
Next Cat Stevens please .
You can see Muharam is so full of empathy and is so moved by the music. They all are, but there's something so spiritual about the way he reacts. I really hope that I can also be the kind of person that can feel so deeply and openly at his age ❤
This is my most favorite thing on the internet. We need more of this! I would love to see the reverse too, people in the west listening to music of other parts of the world. It would bring us all together. Music is a universal language. All art is, and that’s why it’s such a vital part of the human experience.
I have been listening to this song since 1963, when I was 7 years old. The way the narrator interpreted the meanings of the lyrics made me think of this song in new ways.
