  • If you've been on The Charismatic Voice long enough, you know that I love Disturbed's cover of "The Sound of Silence", and David Draiman's vocal artistry. As Disturbed is starting to tour later this year, I wanted to dig into more of their back-catalogue before listening to their new album. . . and this was on the top of your list!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Disturbed performing "Stupify" for the first time.

      This was my gateway into them. They were also my first concert. It was Disturbed with Chevelle and Trapt opened. I just made myself feel so old. I will say though as entrancing as his voice is on their albums it's nothing compared to seeing them live. David Draiman just exudes this charisma that you can't help but be ensnared by. Everytime I've seen them I've come away with chills and such an incredible adrenaline rush. Highly recommend seeing them if ya get a chance.

    @Owlr4ider Před rokem +106

    As others have already commented the word he's elongating at 15:45, which you came back to several times later, is: 'Tefached' which means be afraid, so not exactly about insanity but rather perhaps the consequence of it. That also explains the next part of the song: 'don't deny me, don't be afraid' which for non Hebrew speakers is easy to miss the reference. Oh and by the way, the way he sang the 'Tefached' is indeed in a very traditional Hebrew style which is commonly used in religious hymns and other traditional ancient songs. So you were indeed correct that he brought some of his Jewish heritage into the song without actually knowing it.

    “Te Fa Ched” is Hebrew future tense of “to be afraid”. Draiman uses this veiled meaning to contrast with “don’t be afraid” in the next stanza, ostensibly as a warning, to let the listener know that his grasp on sanity is slipping away, and allude to his future potential for violence, within the context of the song. Brilliant lyrical imagery.

    I think if you managed to get him to " join you for tea", Elisabeth, you would find that David has had a very interesting, and difficult vocal journey story. He essentially had to relearn and teach himself to sing within his limits after incurring some vocal damage on tour. But he put in the hard work, dedicated himself to his craft, and became a better and healthier singer/vocalist for it. Thank you for always doing YOUR " homework", Elisabeth, and keeping an open mind, and appreciating the endless myriad of vocal talents, in all there wonderful varieties out there! You are a champion, and a sweet one too;). Happy Green Day!🍀

    Diving deeper into Disturbed is always a win. “Prayer” and “Remember”, from the Believe album, still give me goosebumps twenty years later, especially the latter. The final track, “Darkness” gave a soft insight into the entirely clean singing David was capable of, and in my mind, acted as the precursor to the “Sounds of Silence” cover they nailed over a decade later. Speaking of covers, I hope this means we’ll get a breakdown of “Land of Confusion” in the not too distant future. Maybe even a dual breakdown, given that the og was by Phil Collins/Genesis. Comparing the videos alone would be a “riot”, nudge nudge 😉😉…

    The Draiman Demon voice he uses is one of the most effective voice explosives in music. It is iconic and well known for grabbing you out of your socks while also encouraging you to be disturbed and yet rage with him. People that just know that one part from Down With the Sickness, the ooo wah ah ah ah, will always hear it and repeat it. So it's awesome to see you react to that in here as well, because it's most recognizable as simply a thing that he does with his music.

    God I loved this song as a young kid as this album (along with Hybrid Theory) is what developed my love for Rock. Draiman has such power and "that demon" you referred to is exactly what he can do. I remember reading this song is about breaking off an engagement due to the stress the woman was putting on the man to get married and the man wanting to have sex before marriage. They couldn't get over the difference and lost their eventual marriage.

    One of the big appeals of this song to many Disturbed fans is the balance of the smooth and the harsh sections of the song - his ability to make both sides sound beautiful is what many of us love about his voice.
    And I think I've said it before, but for something really surreal after listening to Disturbed, look up Ben Draiman's cover of Stricken. It's David's brother, doing a cover of one of Disturbed's songs, and it's amazing how different it is from the original.

    On a side note you need to also do a Sleep Token reaction. "The Summoning" by them shows such a vocal range of this new generation of music. You see the inspirations they've taken from all of the older bands.

    I am going to be 60 years old and listening to this song and singing along with it, makes me feel calmer, it pops in my head during times of anxiety due to the ignorance of others and it's funny how music can either ramp you up or calm you down. I see how you seemed to feel more anxiety during this and it scared you and for me it's different. The aggression, sadness, anger, angst, hysteria and almost madness of this song with David's voice along with the amazing music helps me take control of the stress and anxiety I have inside at times. After all these years it still pops in my head and I will sing the entire song in my head along with the screams and it calms me down and I feel less stressed. Music saves, even music that sounds scary to others :) I love your vocal analysis channel. :)

      I noticed the same thing. Each time the vocals made her jump was when I would feel a sudden release of tension from my back and chest. It's funny how music affects all of us differently. I'm 44 and discovered metal back around 1990. I fell in love with Metallica's "Master of Puppets" album. Then I discovered Nine Inch Nails "Broken" EP and fell in love with Industrial music, too. I've been entranced with both genres, and their many crossovers and variants, ever since. I'm one of the people who can say with all honesty that metal saved my life.

    Their cover of the song Shout is amazing as well. I was probably 16 or 17 when this album came out and I listened to it over and over. I even got to see him live a few years back. It was the first concert they did after quite a long hiatus. It was amazing... All except it was an outdoor venue and the neighbouring farmer decided to spread manure on his field during the show and the smell was rather atrocious. All David had to say about that was "Mr. Farmer.... ROCK ON!" Such a classy dude.

    I fell into David and Disturbed via Sound Of Silence having decided they were not my cup of tea first time around. I listened to the Evolution album on repeat for months, breaking my heart every time. Then I started working through the back catalogue. Much of it is still not for me, being just too harsh for my ears, but I listened to every track at least twice and I discovered that this band is in no way lazy. They weave their tapestry through even the harshest tracks and pretty much every song has a message. They make you angry, they make you feel pain, they make you think and see things differently. And David's voice is every bit as good now as it was then! Very rare for a man who uses his voice this way.

The "screaming' was all I really heard at first, but the more I listened, the more I realized there was a lot of nuance in his voice. He actually "sang," and moved between clean and distortion; and his enunciation is very strong and clear. The newer "Sound of Silence," "Hold on to Memories" and others really bring out his talent and range.
