    This song was written in 1965 by Paul Simon. It was then a folk song meant to be a warning about the lack of communication between people in the modern society. The version of Disturbed is the anger created because we didn't listen.

      This is entirely incorrect.
      Trent Reznor commented, when he heard the remake of "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, "I wasn't prepared for what I saw, and it really wasn't my song anymore".
      What Paul Simon ACTUALLY said was "In case you missed it, Disturbed did a wonderful rendition of "The Sound of Silence" on Conan this week. The S&G cover..." He also emailed David Draiman and said "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I’d seen you do it live. Nice, Thanks.”
      These comments get conflated all the time, with people posting this inaccurate information over and over and over. I would love it if people would do some cursory fact checking.

    Disturbed is a metal band, formed in 1994, with 8 albums so far. If you want to hear one of their originals, which obviously will be much heavier than this, try 'Down With the Sickness' for an older song, 'Hey You' for a new one.

    Disturbed usually does much heavier songs, but David has such a beautiful voice they can't help but do these beautiful ones now and then. I highly suggest The Light and Hold on to Memories for more of his beautiful voice. David Draiman was trained as a Jewish Cantor, which taught him much of the skills he possesses in his vocal ability. Absolutely one of the best voices in music over the past three decades!

Makes you sit up and listen. Sad thing is, it could have been written today with everything still going on in the world.

      Disturbed has other beautiful songs but when they go hard, they go hard.
      Just be prepared. David Draiman is probably best known for his singing with distortion in his voice like towards the end of this song.
      It often surprises people how beautiful his normal voice is and even more shocking when he drops down lower in his register to sing those deeper fuller notes like at the beginning.
      He has a 4.1 octave range but generally is using +/- 2 octaves for his performance of their songs.

  • @truckinleprechaunscottcask9747

    When Simon and Garfunkel wrote this song it was a warning. A warning to what was coming with technology and the pace of the world. Disturbed's version is a we told you so.
    Paul Simon heard Disturbed play this song on Conan and commented it was no longer Simon and Garfunkel's. He said this it was now David Draimen and Disturbed's song.
    David is classically trained as a Cantor and he's very talented. Welcome to Disturbed and the Sickness.

    @JohnDoe-ex5hg Před rokem +2

    David comes from an orthodox Jewish background and trained as a Hazzan, or Cantor, who leads a congregation in songful prayer. He's had his demons. Battled, and won, against heroin use. When he was aged 16 his then girlfriend who introduced him to heroin killed herself. He himself very nearly died aged 18 due to the heroin use, and that experience helped him to get off of the drug. He went cold turkey and kicked it. With that in mind Disturbed's music is heavily influenced by these experiences. The girlfriend's suicide influenced their song "Inside the Fire". The video to which is very disturbing. Expect some hard hitting lyrics and visuals when you listen to their original work. Which is also very heavy.
    They did this song as they often do a cover when they release an album. They've done a very good cover of Genesis' "Land of Confusion". But as you've seen, one of their most popular songs is "Down With the Sickness". Be careful, the full version is not for the faint hearted.

    Well, my deleted comment went sorta like this: When I first heard this cover of Sound Of Silence, I said "Now THIS is how this song should have been sung in the first place. Simon & Garfunkel's version was just too "happy" sounding for the subject matter." I was blown away by how much more emotional this version of the song is compared to the original. Another song where the cover version is way better than the original is Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails song Hurt. This is a MUST hear...can I get a "Hell yeah!" from the rest of subscribers if they think so too? Here is a link to that song: czcams.com/video/8AHCfZTRGiI/video.html. Cheers!

  • @calibadgerdude6082
    @calibadgerdude6082 Před rokem +6

    David Draiman's got a once in a generation voice and the training to use it properly. I've always likened his voice to a Lamborghini V12 engine (I'm a bit of a car nut... :P). Smooth and throaty at low revs, it rises to a powerful growl when you hit the throttle, and when you really step on it it roars like some mythical creature from the dawn of time. He's just so powerful and controlled, it's amazing to listen to and you should definitely check out some more, but be fair warned: Sound of Silence is an outlier in their repertoire. It is about as far from their normal sound as you can get and still be the same band, but the rest of their stuff is excellent as well, just a lot more hard core. They do make a point of including a cover song of something thematically important to the concept of each album, and this one was written in the mid 60s by the phenomenal Simon and Garfunkel, but they really put their own unique stamp on it and made it their own.
    One of the things you will find if you explore Disturbed, is they do NOT shy away from difficult topics or dark subject matter. They actually focus a lot on mental health and dealing with trauma or abuse, but more in a mindset of surviving and recovering from these things, and even when they visit really dark topics, they touch on it in a generally positive manner that manages to be uplifting and inspiring. One of my personal favorites is The Light. Great song about dealing with dark times in your life.

    One of the things said about this version of the song is that Paul Simon had stated that for years, he and Art Garfunkel essentially owned this song.. And he is right, because whenever anyone mentioned The Sound of Silence, they thought of their original recording. But Paul said himself that this version from Disturbed is so beautiful and haunting that it breathed a totally different life into it, and that he and Art no longer "own" this song. This song is Disturbed's now, just because of how beautifully haunting it sounds, and that this is how it should be.
    One thing that Disturbed has done (at least as far as I can tell going back to their first album) is that they include at least one cover song on their album. They so far have done Genesis, Sting, Tears for Fears, Simon and Garfunkel, among others. But this is the song that Floor was talking about on Beste Zangers that Henk sang for her; plus Henk learned how to sing with distortion in his voice for her, so he could sound like David Draiman in this version.

    Two songs that give me goosebumps every single time I hear them are cover songs and that is this and Johnny Cash Hurt (a Nine Inch Nails song).
    I’d love to see Disturbed remake Bridge Over Troubled Water. I think that would be awesome.
    Thank you pretty lady. Your eyes are as stunning as this cover. Looking forward to seeing more of your reviews.
    And Holy Crap On A Cracker!!!!

    This is a very powerful version of the song, but it was the original version came out in 1964 & was performed by the duo Simon & Garfunkel.

    I'm normally not a fan of covers but this one I love. I've been listening to disturbed since I was young. They are normally a lot heavier and not a lot of people know this but the lead singer David Draiman is operatically trained. Pretty cool for a guy in a heavy metal band

    when the original version was written and preformed in the sixties, this was a warning of what could happen if people didnt talk to each other ..this version is him saying you didint listen and now it has come to pass " people talking but not speaking .people hearing with out listening " sounds a lot like our txting culture " silence like a cancer grows " when people are called this and that because you dont agree with them ,leads to people not speaking out about things they think are wrong. "praying to the neon god they made" sounds like todays celebrity adoration thats seems prevalent. so he has all the right to shout at people for not listening to the original all thosse years ago ..... this always chokes me up as soemone who was around with the original and it makes me sad to see where the world has gone

    I have heard many versions of this song including recently on your channel Henk's version. I have to say Disturb's version is the best, hands down. It's haunting and beautiful. He sings it with such a passion that you feel down to your core. Fantastic version. I enjoy how mind opening all of these bands are to you in your reactions. I felt much the same when I first discovered these different bands. It's amazing how much tremendous talent is out there. And some of it we don't get to experience here in the states for the most part like the European symphonic metal bands. Bring on some " Beyond the Black".

    • @dalehammers4425

    Pretty sure someone would have already mentioned in the comments somewhere but David started out as a fully trained opera singer and the went into the crossover type scene before Disturbed.

    • @suemoore6445
      @suemoore6445 Před rokem

      David Draiman was not trained operatically. He was a trained Jewish Cantor at a young age, like his father and grandfather before him. He honors his family by not having any tattoos. He was having some vocal issues 2012? He took time off to learn how to protect his vocal chords with some vocal training then.

    David has a beautiful voice. Some of Disturb's is not as sensitive. I think you would enjoy their softer stuff: Hold On To Memories, A Reason To Fight. A lot of their other stuff is much heavier.

    They did a more recent cover, 'If I Ever Loose My Faith In You' that is worth checking out. I don't know if 'Down With The Sickness' (the tune they are famous for) would be your jam. While it's done very well, it's about some heavy stuff. If you do that one, stick to the official music video as it's based on the radio edit and has one intense part cut out.

    Paul Simon from Simon & Garfunkle wrote this song sitting in a dark bathroom in the 60s.
    My #2 fav cover. 😃
    #1 is High Hopes (Pink Floyd song) by Nightwish - Marko is lead singer.
    #3 Zombie (Cranberries song) by Bad Wolves.

    Btw. If you like a really deep (sexy) male voice, you have to watch HOME FREE (a pentatonix like group (a capella) with a cover of a Dire Straits song *_"Brothers In Arms"_* : czcams.com/video/_ChD2WjD2tY/video.html&ab_channel=HomeFree (don't melt behind the camera 😉) Just another HOLY COW-moment.

    @shannonmcvey8669 Před rokem

    In 1965 Paul Simon sang this song with the voice of an angel; a warning about what mankind was doing to each other. In 2015 David Draiman sang with the voice of an AVENGING angel; Eyes aflame and sword held high; the rage of what mankind had DONE to each other. The anger that we didn't heed the warning.

    That is the amazing David Draiman. He was trained at an early age as a cantor in the jewish religion, but chose to dedicate his life to heavy metal rock with his band 'Disturbed' (thank God). Another fantastic cover they did was 'Land of Confusion' the old Genesis track but delivered with real GUTS 😁 Hope you can check that one out too one day, you'll love it I'm sure.

    This has become a standard for the band, always expected at their live gigs!
    David and his brother were trained Jewish cantors. He turned to metal and his brother is an opera singer.
    Paul Simon said he wrote this after a dream and the meaning is still argued about.
    The video I feel talks of the rediscovery of lost music. One island find the sheet music, the other find the instruments and travel to them...
    Paul Simon saw THIS very performance on Conan and loved it.
    Poor David was really poorly with a bad cold when he sung it on Conan, so I urge you to watch the official video to hear David in top form and the visuals really add to the music.
