Easily one of my top five favorite reactions of this song, and I’ve sadly watched a good hundred or more. Honest and appreciative of the skill.
Olivia Rose im glad I’m not the only one that’s watched reaction videos of this song over and over.
I think there is no reaction video to this song unwatched by me :D
I watch every reaction and true some are much better than others, but hey everyone has an opinion
Same & same!
@@AloishiusAbercrombie This one was very natural and emotional. Great stuff.
Disturbed got a Grammy nomination for this performance. I love it more than the studio recording. It’s incredibly beautiful.
They should have won! Heck they should win all the rewards the music industry has to offer for this masterpiece
@@f3nixfire The music industry is a joke when it comes to awards. They like to award big names or over actual quality. Sometimes those line up, but not often. Thats why people like Beyonce get nominated every year even though nobody could name a song of hers in the last 5 or more years. They just have a select group they pretend is amazing no matter what and they get every award. Its basically just a circle jerk of music industry elites
David Bowie won the 2016 Grammy posthumously.
The difference is that he can grit and growl, but then clean it instantly!!!
The lead singer, David Draiman was born in Brooklyn, NY to an Orthodox Jewish family. His Grandfather, who survived the Holocaust, was a famous Temple cantor, as was his father and father before. David was supposed to follow the tradition. Even attending Yeshiva. He obviously went in a different direction and much of his family didn't accept it. Many of Disturbed songs carry deep meanings, suicide; addiction; recovery; It's worth watching an interview or two. David and the rest of the guys are soft spoken, funny guys.
David has reconciled with his family. Which I think just completes the whole incredibly successful package.
He also is very active in the fight against suicide cuz he lost a very dear friend when he was a teenager and it affect him very deeply he also went to school to be a lawyer but decided he didn't want to be a one because he didn't feel right about it also his father went to prison for several years for miss handling of investment funds had left the family in financial ruins but they did recover I have great respect for the man
Paul Simon said he cried when he listened to the live version that it was so powerful
I agree 100%. The original is so great, I was sceptic when this version came out. But this version always gives me chills. Every time. Just fabulous.
"The words of the profets are written on the subway walls"
"Like silent raindrops fell" is the part that gets me
He was actually sick during this performance, and yet it's still amazing.
Yeah he had the flu...you can hear his voice crack a few times...but still an amazing performance...I even heard that he refused to let them do a voice cleaning up thing they do (not sure what it's called) because he wanted them to hear his natural abilities
You can say he was down with the sickness
@@pascalg16 you'll show yourself out, now?? 🤣
Samantha R what is his name? I want to watch it again.
@@agwjaahqkf1379 Disturbed is the name of the band...check out the official video
This song needs to be heard without stopping it to talk....Close your eyes & Let your SOUL show you the meaning behind the words,,,,,,,,,,,,
David Draiman has one of the best yet powerful voices I have ever heard. I love everything about this version of the song from his beautiful vocals to the orchestra and arrangement.
It is captivating, through and through ...and with visuals that are worthy of that breath taking vocal performance. Surely, Conan must feel that this performance is one of the feathers in the cap of his show. Paul Simon must have really loved it.
Simon from Simon and Garfunkle actually has this on his Facebook page
Great video! I agree 100%. David Draiman is a gift to humanity. His voice is just epic and this song show cases how much of a prodigy he is. Disturbed, in general, is so talented. Their a 4 person group. The drummer was on the thunderous drums, one member was on the keyboard and the other was playing the acoustic guitar. The rest of them were an independent orchestra, who also did a fantastic job. In my humble opinion, this is one of the best, if not the best, live performance of all time. Just incredible!
If you watch the official video for this song, pay attention to the very end. It shows Noah's Arch full of musicians crossing the river to reach the people on shore with sheets of music. Music is the universal language of life.
Simon & Garfunkel was a warning to society. Disturb’s is the outrage that people didn’t heed that warning. I cry every single time.
Beautifully said
I live in Nashville TN. Music City USA I have attended Disturrb. Concerts three times. I will go back when they come back. They are amazing.
The vocals, instrumentation, and emotion of this performance are all amazing!
Loved your reaction but instead of clapping I sat in stunned silence with tears on my face I lost my son almost 9 years ago he loved Disturbed and never got to hear this awesome rendition of this classic
if only you would pause when he finished building a musical phrase! not so difficult to wait for a few verses.
-Draiman covers roughly two-and-a-half octaves from bottom to top. His vocals are so distinctive.
-Disturbed had been nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance for their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" while appearing on Conan.
-David Draiman: "The fact that I was sick as a dog (laughs). I remember I was definitely fighting something off, but it was a cool experience. It was cool performing with an actual orchestra. It was really vibing and the mood helped, I think, enhance the delivery. The stars just aligned that night and everything went right."

David said this is not a cover its an homage to Simon & Garfunkle
He's got a wonderful, wonderful voice. He needs to do more like this. He's absolutely amazing!
God: Do you want the voice of an angel or demon?
David: Yes.
Tom D when a boy trained as a cantor becomes a metal lead singer. I love it!
That's a hilariously honest way to look at it.
That's the best description of his voice I've ever heard. I'm so glad he let us hear the angel in this song. I want more of the angel and the demon in the same song!!!
Wasn't the devil an angel cast out of heaven...
@@bigfatbaataed The devil, yes; demons, no.
Be sure to watch their original 4K Black & White video. Very POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! It's a whole different experience. I have to give a shout out to the producers and the production crew and everyone involved in putting this exceptional video together! ❤❤❤
What a Powerful message & Warning God gives in this song..David brings the emotion to every word !!!!!!!!!!!! Sang from the heart...BEAUTIFUL>>>
My interpretation of the song The Sound of Silence.
This song is written with two different perspectives or consciousnesses singing
it. Those that are waking up and those that have been awake for a very
long time. The first, third and fifth verse is sung from the perspective
of the unawakened and the second and forth verse are sung from the
perspective of the awakened.
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
Hello, darkness, my old friend is about people that have been kept in
the dark and they're telling the darkness that they are experiencing
something new in their vision. They (the awakened/aware ones) planted
the seeds of truth/Light, and they are just starting to become aware.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
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
There are fewer of the awakened, and they feel as if they are alone
under the Light of truth, because they refused to buy into the lies the
dark has been trying to feed them. Then one day they saw a crack in
the armor of dark, a tear in the matrix, if you will and in that moment they
saw a opportunity to break 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 share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
And in that moment they saw all of the light workers/star seeds
(awakened Ones) telling
those that were still asleep the truth/Light, through telepathy
those that were sleeping heard and saw the truth/Light in a very subtle way,
but yet they couldn't share this Light/truths with anyone for fear of
being attacked by those that controlled the sound of silence.
They wrote the truth in songs, the truth had to be give covertly as not
to disturb the sound of silence (the dark). And when the people became
aware of the Light/truth and realized that they had been in darkness the whole time,
it really pissed them off.
"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
They reached out to those still in slumber, trying to give them
Light/truths, but they wouldn't open their minds to new truths, instead
remained in the sound 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
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
The people were so caught up in working hard to pay for all of the
things, the boats, cars, electronics, all of the toys that they covet.
They couldn't see or hear the truth, they were too distracted by
consumerism. The awakened/prophets have been trying to tell them through
their songs and poems, and that whisper of Light/truth awakened the
people from their slumber and they became ONE. Did you notice the ship
sailing into the Light at the end?
This version of Sound of Silence is by far my favorite. I am not a big fan of Simon and Garfunkel so this version gave me a new appreciation for the song itself, the lyrics, and the message that was meant to be made. I love Disturbed's version!!! If you like"Hallelujah", I recommend Jeff Gutt. His audition for X-Factor with his rock version of the song was AMAZING!!!
Love your genuine appreciation and amazement of this modern classic. I felt the same when I recently saw it. Respect.
David Draiman, SUBLIME !!!!! la mejor versión de Los sonidos del silencia !!!!!!!!!
You mentioned Hallelujah... if you haven’t already, you should listen to kd Lang’s version.. several live ones out there, but the one she sang wit Leonard in the audience was pretty spectacular!
The pianist and the two guitarist are his band mates. David is a classically trained vocalist.
A prophecy we are now fulfilling... Paul and David. One saw it, one lives it
Disturbed - the band - is actually part of the orchestra for this performance...
It's nice to see someone appreciate a truly great performance of a classic. If you want another gem look at Audioslave Gasoline live debut in new york. Chris cornell was in rare form that night.
Thank you Frank your a lovely chap. God bless.
That look on your face, lol... you looked like a kid on Christmas morning. Great reaction
Love your reaction.
I always find this performance so emotive. Always brings tears to my eyes x
Your the best Frank!! You always make me smile!!
This is poetry in movement. Astonishing.
David tiene una súper voz, ellos son geniales!!
The lead singer David Draiman is a classically trained vocalist and you can tell with this song
Not classically trained. This seems to get posted every time but it's a myth someone started and just got passed around. He was trained as a cantor when he was young but not classically or operatically. Obviously David is immensely talented and he obviously learned how to do the vocal fry correctly with the right technique but classically trained, no.
@@jenniferchough I glad you cleared this up. I've posted it myself because it's what I was told. I knew about the cantor training when he was young but I had also read that he was classically trained. Honestly I imagine it continues to be spread because it's so easy to believe. :-)
First time watching you, Frank... and I love, love, love your honest reaction. Glad I’m not the only one who gets goosebumps listening to this. This is definitely epic!
🌹🌹GREAT REACTION 🌹🌹
To my humble opinion, this song is like a prophecy..
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share... It's almost if they were talking about technology and the way that affects all of us... It's crazy that it was written so long ago..
Great reaction Frank. Thank you!!! Even got you goosebumps and everything ☺️☺️☺️. I cried the first time 😊
Watch the covid19/coronavirus video with this song. It will blow you away
I love the way you appreciate the way his voice, and his story builds.
And especially that most metal/rock groups have some { or lots) classical teaching. How many pop artists do......
This guy: that distortion
Me: just wait.
@FrankValchiria For your comment about 'Hallelujah' , try the Pentatonix cover of that song. Phenomenal!
I saw Disturbed in a small venue 12 years ago live. He really is that good.
If I was to recommend this cover or any cover of "The Sound of Silence" to you or any of these channels, I would have told all of you to first play the original video by Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon wrote this classic song in 1964 and I think their first video was released in 1965.
EXCELLENT reaction! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please watch the official video. Brings tears to your eyes.
you need to know more about this band, they have a lot of exciting songs.
Por fin.!!!!! esta version es una Joya.!! see the Oficial Video.!!
Hi Frank, You need to see the Offiial Video of this... it is really great!!
I agree...this one just doesn't have the emotional impact that the official video has
@@tonipowell632 You can define that video as : goosebumps and chills
@@pdvidela Agreed good sir
Amo essa versão desde a primeira vez que a ouvi!
KD Lang did an amazing version of Hallelujah at the 2010 Olympic opening ceremony, if you haven't heard it I think you would like it. Great reaction video!
The next is the version they made of Land of Confusion from Genesis.
I'm a big fan of Disturbed since their first album, I love David's voice.
i have ALWAYS said that hard rock, metal, progressive etc etc have the worlds best singers when they decide to sing.. this song, limp bizkits cover of “behind blue eyes”.. queensryche covering “scarborough fair” and “welcome to the machine”.. def lepard covering “rock on”... on and on.. all hard rock singers and all of those lead singers can SING.. especially Geoff Tate of Queensryche
This is my fave version of this song! 😁👍
I love watching people's reactions to this performance! Frank, I just wanna have a beer with ya! You seem like a genuinely good dude.
The singer was sick during this performance! He is amazing!
Your reaction was of pure joy.
I felt it.
Well done!
You should hear Pentatonix version of “Hallelujah”; it’s angelic.
He is a trained cantor
Apparently Simon likes this version and linked it on his page
05:03 this is epic...just a epic moment in the music world (my opinion)
Truly a great performance. You mentioned versions of the song hallelujah, you should listen to Jeff Gutt's version live on the x factor.
Mr. Draiman comes from a background in classical opera before migrating into metal.
real honest reaction. should listen to bad wolves zombie another great rock voice
I love this song ❤️
I'm from Porto Alegre/Brasil
Dude, thank you for a genuine reaction.
Disturbed is one of my favorite bands... He is great with this live performance..
I shed a tear every time I hear this. 'Awe'..some
David Draiman's voice is AWESOME!!!!
David, when he is retired;should just sit out on his terrace with his favorite drink and watch reactions to this song.
Speaking of Hallelujah, Myles Kennedy. Gotta hear it.
Pain of Salvation did a live version of Hallelujah, it's awesome :D
You mentioned ‘Hallelujah”...try a listen to Rufus Wainwright’s interpretation of the song❤️
Just EPIC!!!!!
I am SO happy to have found your reaction. You truly appreciate music (“Both Sides Now” is a song my Dad introduced me to and became a personal anthem in my life along with “I am a Rock” by Simon & Garfunkel). The reaction & conversation & vocal teacher notes were all wonderful. This song gives me chills & I’m glad you did too
Excelente versión. Escuche LOS SONIDOS DEL SILENCIO.(Versión en español de Sergio Denis)
Dancin madly backwards by The Fleshquartet. 4 classical musicians. Singer from punkrock
wedish group..
It doesn't matter what music genre you prefer, I'm yet to meet anyone from any music genre that doesn't like Disturbed's The sound of silence.
I wonder what this song will sound like in the powerful and manly voice of Valchiria 🦁
I've been watching a bunch of these vocal coach reviews, and very few even mention the fact that he gave this amazing performance, SITTING DOWN, because he was so sick at the time. I'm not a vocal coach, but I'd love to hear a professional opinion on the difficulty of getting that kind of projection, while seated.
Heavenly
I love the message on your hoodie.
haha the fist clap was perfect
Pentatonix version of "Hallelujah" is pretty great. All A Capella
You are so right!!
David was classicly trained as a cantor!
Agreed absolutely in love with this song!!!
Hallejuah by K D Lang
wow wow wow, fantastic
I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis ... Excellent ........ David Draiman's voice is epic. Regarding the lyrics, Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning.
The Disturbed version is furious because the warning was ignored.
It’s awesome!!!!!!
Great reaction that’s how I felt when I listen to it for about the first hundredth time
5:50 Your face tells me everything, you are really enjoying this incredible Interpretation, and boy do you enjoy it, Greetings from Chile my Friend
Love your reaction. David is amazing.
EPIC version! Didn't know about it either! Thanks!
Loved the analysis. I looked into Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah because of this. I'd put it in the top 3 versions of the song. Rufus Wainright's version is my go to, but I think that's because the song is so interpretive. Jeff Buckley's version is softer, more vulnerable, which can relate to Samson's weakness. Pentatonix' cover shifts the conversation from being about Samson to being about Samson and Delilah in verse 3. Rufus is more like a passionate narrator.
Hands down best reaction ever 💯🤘
Outstanding reaction, totally genuine! Love it!
I've seen hundreds of reactions with this song, yours is the best I've seen.
He hadn't even finished the first line and he got a (WoW) from you..lol
Draiman takes this song off the charts.
I agree with you, one of the greatest live performances in music history.
