    David Draiman was trained as a Cantor in his younger years and has complete control over his voice. Watch his mic placement. It never changes. He might look and sound like he is screaming, but he isn't. The nasal sound is likely from the flu he had during this performance. He is very anti-autotune and was furious when he found out that Conan's producers autotuned parts of this performance.

    I did some research on the artist and he is from Brooklyn, NY, Jewish & studied in Orthodox schools thinking he would become a rabbi. As a teenager he didn't like the restrictions in school so went another direction but is trained as a Hazzan or Cantor. His girlfriend committed suicide when she was 18 and he tried to do so as well via heroin. After kicking heroin for good he worked in several different occupations until entering the music world. He has known sadness in his life which is often a great motivator for an artist. I'd never heard of him nor the group "Disturbed" until I stumbled on reaction videos. I was a teenager when Simon & Garfunkel came out with the original (I think I had the album) and always liked the song but this version gives me chills and stirs up emotions in me. I liked your comment, "It makes you want to fight for this man." The music video of this song is very powerful and well worth watching.

  • @taobarb1

    He was very ill with a high fever during this performance. He had to sit during the performance because he was weak and dizzy. I think that someone who could maintain this strength during a performance is remarkable. His voice fry is done anterior to his vocal cords with his jaw forced forward too. As you said: Wet fry. Draiman is a classically trained operatic baritone who trained for many many years to be a cantor. Do watch the actual music video for the sake of comparison. The close ups of him while he sings shows a very distinct change in the muscles he uses as well as how his glottal stops are softened so he can bring his breath through several phrases. It’s also a testimony to how well David can sing while ill. You’ll hear differences. For instance, he doesn’t sound as nasal or congested during the official video, but it’s largely the same. He is masterful. Thank you for the reaction!

I had been in the front of the pit all night and was screaming lyrics right back. I was thrown over the fence and as security was pulling me back, Draiman reached down to give me a fist-bump.

      He has an absolutely amazing natural voice. No one is questioning that. But every singer has some form or another of auto tune in every recorded song. The recorded version of this is not as heavy on auto tune on the live version (he was sick that night), but it has some pretty heavy assistance on the low end (eq and compression)

    The reason - to me - why this cover hits everyone so deeply, is because it's how the song _really_ was meant to be sung. S & G's version was just a bit too happy? It just wasn't sad enough. Not angry enough.
    Davids version is literally the last version of this song well ever need. His vocal choices match the lyrics PERFECTLY and this is very rare.

    David had either a cold or the flu when giving this performance on Conan's show. So, without his approval, the TV producers added some post production auto-tune in segments where they thought he strayed a bit. He was not happy to learn this after the fact!
    He was a very bad drug addict when he was 18 or so and almost perished from it. His great grandfather was the head cantor in the largest synagogue in Jerusalem during the 1930s, so David's voice is apparently inherited from him.

    David once shared a story that happened when he was touring smaller circuits about a man that was front and center of the stage, the guy was all tatted up with a prominent swastika on his forehead. He tells of how this guy was pretty anti-Semitic and how after a couple shows of this guy being there same spot front and centre enjoying the music whether it was before or after I forget, he tells the guy “ You know I’m a Jew don’t you?” Same guy comes back to the next show with a totally different attitude. The power of music units! On another note. David is a classically trained singer as well.

    I found his voice spoke volumes about the story he is trying to convey. Sadness slowly turns into Frustration, then that turns into Anger and that turns into Rage. All of that telling the story that he is sad that no one listened and his explanation escalated into rage that no one still bothers to listen. That the Warning went ignored and he is forced to Sigh "I told you so!" at the very end.

    You should check out another metal singer called Floor Jansen. She sings with a band called Nightwish and is in my opinion one of the best singers in the world. She recently took part in a dutch programme called Beste Zangers where 6 of the best singers in the Netherland sing songs to each other that are either by or important to the person they are singing to. Floor Jansen sang Phantom of the Opera with dutch opera star Henk Poort and also a version of Lady GaGas song Shallow and did it far better than Lady GaGa did.
    Her band Nightwish is a Finnish band which has been around since 1996 and is the best symphonic metal band in the world and their symphonic content is contributed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Metro choir. A good one to start on with their content would be Ghost love score live at Wacken Germany 2013 where they headlined to an 82,000 people audience.

    In case you're planning more reactions, Nightwish is a definitely must see/hear/do..
    Be sure it will be a long, surprising always awesome Nightwish journey including floorfasms :-)
    My personal suggestion for the some songs in order to give you a nice overview of some "styles" covered by Nightwish:
    -> Ghost Love Score (Wacken 2013): THE "traditional first song" to get into Nightwish. Floor is showing diferent capabilities and you can get a first understanding of Tuomas capability of songwriting.
    -> "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" (Buenos Aires) will give you a metal and power blast
    -> There are a couple of great songs from Wacken: Storytime, Song of Myself, Romanticide, Ever Dream, Last Ride of the Day, Ghostriver
    -> "Yours an Empty Hope" from Wembley (have a good look at the growls)
    -> "The greatest Show on Earth" (Tampere) and "The Poet and the Pendulum (Wembley - get to know the background of this song ahead)
    -> Then the new stuff with "Noise" (Video), „Shoemaker“, "Harvest (Lyric Video) ...
    Just my personal thoughts :-)
    One thing you can definitely be sure of: Every song is different, has some surprising transitions, is intense. And none of the songs you're going to discover will disappoint you.Floor is one of the most versatile singers from opera over pop and rock towards metal and growls.

  • @12211219
    @12211219 Před 2 lety

    My interpretation of the song The Sound of Silence.
    This song is written with two separate people 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 by 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 theLight/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 of the studio version?
