- Sound of Silence that I have heard from Simon & Garfunkel was alright, but this... I did not expect this. Just wow. If you have heard it before, you know what I mean. Listen....

I don’t laugh at humor. I don’t cry at sadness or violence. I worked EMS. Ive been told I’m dead inside. I didn’t react on the outside to Disturbeds version of Sound of Silence… but I I cried inside. It was nice. It made me feel human. So did your reaction.
I was EMS then a nurse and I’m the complete opposite. I’ve always been an empath so I’m sure that’s why. I was hard when I had to be, but never with children. I’m glad the song made you feel, and I don’t like that someone said you were dead inside.
Live version with orchestra on Conan Will definitely raise a Goosebump or two on you. People are looking down not up nor around tech world today is somewhat hindering our lives…it’s all that but it’s a bag of chips NOT
Try listen8ng to some Dimash. Please.
I totally get it. Military and contractor for decades. I completely believe finding something to react to is one path to human-ness. I hope you find more paths. And find more people to help guide you to being a tested and traumatized and real human who can remember that they are, in fact, true humans who have lived in this too often fucked-up world.

I'm in the medical field. I get it. If you ever need to chat I'm here.....
Listened to this song for 50 years without ever understanding the message, David made me listen and get the meaning. I will say, to me, it's better than the original because the message is dark and foreboding - Paul & Art sang it like a folk song. Taking nothing away from the writing, that is still masterful, but this brought tears to my eyes and that never happened with the original.
This version forces you to listen to the lyrics. I grew up with the S & G version, sang along but didn't pay attention to the words.
I am so with you on this one. I am 62 and grew up with this song but only when I heard Disturbed´s version, a couple of years ago, did I get the message. I must have listened to this hundreds of times and I still get goose bumps
Thank you for playing it all the way through without any interruptions. Unlike many of the other reactors.
Yeah, I found that to be the best... it was too good to interupt!
Don’t you love when a song leaves you speechless?
I think it's down to the singers. powerful interpretation and the accompanying video.
I have played this more than a hundred times by now. Best cover ever! David is one of the best vocalist of our time, in my opinion. He is also a huge champion of mental health (my field of work) awareness. I greatly admire him both as an artist and as a human being.
I've listened to this many many times and each time it gives me goosebumps. It is the best-ever cover of one of the best Paul Simon songs. I will go as far as to say it's better than the original.
Paul Simon let the band know that the song was now theirs!
Paul Simon contacted David and told him that The Sound of Silence was his song now. No greater compliment.
You can imagine the reaction is from an emotional person such as myself. I saw this hundreds of times and cry every time..I even stop breathing when he begins to “growl.” My daughter turned me on to Disturbed and I’m a huge fan. This song was much different from their usual music so I was pleasantly surprised. David Draiman, IMHO has the best voice in the business but I’m a bit biased. I so appreciate you, that you didn’t interrupt the song. I abhor when they do that! You might want to listen to the live version on the Conan O’Brien show..it’s incredible! David was extremely sick with the flu and had a temp of 104. He also had a cyst on his vocal chords. The man would not cancel but had to sit down to sing. He never uses Autotune but the producers tried to sneak it in. David was flaming mad! They only kept it on for aa minute because he looked at Conan and fried his eyes! 😂
Something I just found out 2 days ago. I was watching him being interviewed and 2 months ago he had a cancer scare. He found a very painful growth in his lower right arm..his ulna. They performed surgery, found a tumor and permed a biopsy. Thank God it was benign! Sorry..didn’t mean to write an encyclopedia!
This is a work of art, a masterpiece, you don’t just listen you absorb every note every word…..
His voice is a work of art in.itself. Makes one wonder about the training a Csntor must go through.
This is one of the few covers ever that outshines the original by miles! Truly makes you feel the raw emotion.
Yeah, I agree!
@@NoreactionswithJ If you're looking for suggestions, we all need a good laugh. Try Tim Minchin "Prejudice". This talented performer puts the medicine in the candy! Of course, you can't miss with anything by Weird Al. Do "White and Nerdy" LOL!
Got chills with this version. Wow didn't expect that!!
I think Disturbed made this song their own. I heard Paul Simon approved of this rendition. I get goosebumps almost every time I listen to it, it never gets old!
Yeah, this one is insane! Have heard it several times by now... hair standing! haha
Thank you for playing the video without pausing. Pentatonix also does this cover. You might consider that one next..
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
It's okay to admit that this is something that touched your heart that touched your soul.
I went down the rabbit hole of Disturb’s music during COVID lockdown in 2020 when I came across it on CZcams. Love all their music, their heavy metal and nonmetal. The lead singer David Draiman is trained as a Jewish Cantor when he was a young man, as his father and grandfather before him. He chose heavy metal in 1995. Paul Simon endorsed their version when he heard it. This 74 grandma still has her vinyl of Simon and Garfunkel’s 1st album, that includes this song!
It seems to resonate with so many people, not just the wording of the song but the audio of his powerful beautiful voice and light but effective music all seems to do something physical to the body and soul and pretty much everyone gets emotional listening to it. Many tear up, many get goosebumps and many just simply cry unashamedly. Its such a rare powerful beautiful performance ive watched well over a thousand times and it still makes me cry every single time.
The amazing voice and vocal control of David Draiman! He can go from baritone to tenor...from sweet to vocal fry in less than a second! One of the best voices on the planet imho. Loved your reaction J
A GOD GIVEN TALENT!!! 😢😢❤❤❤ THANKS!!
Hundreds of other reviewers had your reaction. It brings people to tears. Great cover.
He is voice trained. Such an amazing performance. You should watch his live performance of Sound of Silence on The Late Show with Conan O'Brien. So beautiful and he was ill at the time.
This is a powerful song and with the video, the emotions surface. I've been a Disturbed fan for a very long time. I am very happy that you let the song play through without stopping every 10 seconds. I liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more.
If this track/video isn't perfection, then I don't know what is. Masterpiece.
Emotions run deep with this song. I absolutely love it! Everyone has the same reaction to this, Wow!
WOW RIGHT?!! It’s a Wake up call with a ~ GOOSEBUMPS EXPERIENCE!! There is no other rendition of another Artist’s message 💋 check out the live version on “Conan” orchestra and all such Grace such Resoect! You shall not forget
Had to watch it. :)
The original was the warning.. this one is the anger for not listening to the warning.
Oof, I like this ☝️
Agreed. I think S&G's lilting folk style version was intended to be IRONIC. Then Pentatonix did it with Great Skill and Beauty. (Everything they do is amazing.) But this... THIS... David's version, DISTURB's version.... Absolutely EPIC. This version declares WAR on silence -- the silence that alienates us from one another -- the silence that keeps people divided and steals our joy, our love, our lives. THIS version, is THE version that expresses the TRUTH of the song.
After hearing Disturbeds version on Conan, Paul Simon sent David Draiman and email and told him that this song is his now. S&G were warning people about what was coming... this version is the rage we feel now that S&G's warning was not heeded. This song, no matter which version or how may times I hear it, still gives me goosebumps. His voice, the lyrics (which you are forced to listen too, unlike in the original), the build... the climax, the entire performance... you can't say enough about it...
Try out... Heart - Stairway to Heaven Led Zeppelin - Kennedy Center Honors HD.... very memorable! 😃👍
It’s absolutely phenomenal
I have now watched somewhere around 100 reaction videos to this song from vocal coaches, composers, song writers, opera singers and many more... The near universal Stunned Silence followed by a "wow, I was not expecting that" is quite a testament to the skill and range of David Draiman. You should also check out the Live version done on the Conan Show. As powerful and stunning as the studio version is, the live performance is considered by many to be even better.
Nice reaction! You're not cold, you just need the power of a a message and voice like David's to break through that outer shell ❤
If you're looking for an artist to react to, perhaps going down the Aurora rabbit hole could be fun. She's quirky but has the voice of an angel and all her songs have deep meaning for her and her "warriors". If you decide to check her out, I'd suggest starting with her performance of Runaway at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize concert then move on to Murder Song 54321 at the same venue. She's a musical genius as well, having started writing music at age 11 (she's 19 at the noted concert in 2015). Good luck on your channel, I'll suib to help out!
Songs with the same sort of power. Hurt by Johnny Cash, Believe by Brooks & Dunn and Floor Jansen's version of Lady Gaga's Shallow live on Beste Zangers. You will never regret listening to any of these.
It is a very powerful rendition . . Your friend chose well . .
Maybe youd like to do a reaction to a band called The Warning . . 3 sisters from Mexico. . . Thier cover of Enter Sandman when the youngest was 9 has had over 25million views. . . And have since done a cover of it for the black album aniversary . . Those or any of thier song would be good especially from the Teatro Metropolitan concerts . . . .
Hi from New Zealand . . ⛄️👍
If you like this, watch the live version on Conan. You get a real feeling of how good the song is, without the distraction that the studio version has with some of it's visuals, and also, how excellent David Draiman's voice is, singing multi octaves with little or no effort. Kudos to Paul Simon who wrote magnificent songs at the age of 20. Words that sound even better, and more meaningful some 60 years later.
It's do powerful. I recommend 'The Light' and 'Hold on to Memories' also by Disturbed for more emotional videos.
Several have recommended that one. Sounds like a plan. :)
This gives me chills every time I hear it. Definitely brought the song home in a way the original did not (and the original was good, but this one was stunning.) The imagery in the video is also excellent. I did see a version where he did it live without the video support, and it was equally as powerful. It is like he has a voice that was just made for this specific song.
I remember when I was a teenager I sooo wished I could have a singing voice like that. I like Bon Scott too, but Brian Johnson is amazing!
@@NoreactionswithJ I can barely sing on key. I just pick out the parts of songs where I know I won't wind up scaring the neighbors and sing those parts out loud. The rest of the songs, I just hum to myself quietly. I always like those vocalists that know how to put a bit of grit in their voice - especially in rock songs. The last big live performance I saw was Guns 'n' Roses back before Axl kind of ruined his vocal chords. It was a pretty spectacular show. Would love to have seen AC/DC live, but never had the chance and now big concerts like that are just way too expensive.
Loved it. I listen everyday
Its ok to have your soul stirred 🎼🎧🙂
Absolutely! :)
I love these reactions, Stunned silence.
Love your reaction! ❤️🎼❤️🎼
Perfect reaction!!
Thank you. :)
This version is the best
Disturbed and David own this song.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
It’s a powerful amazing experience 💙
Love this song. ❤
Evanescence - My Immortal
Powerful!
By the way, David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance and I heard he was not pleased with his performance, being the perfectionist that he is I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole was amazing and his performance was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL!
Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS
Team Coco
Thanks, Diane
I feel this version deeply
Yeah, this was incredible!
Love the way you listened and reacted.
Another unbelievable voice in these world - please react to Dimash Kudaibergen singing "Ogni Pietra" ( OLYMPICO) from the Arnau Concert on his own channel. This guy has an 6 octave range and he is trained since the age of 5 years old. Never heard a voice like that. It's mind blowing. Hope you enjoy it and wish you all the best from Germany 🇩🇪 Petra
I might check it out. Thank you for the suggestion. And same to you from Norway. :) Danke, danke!
I would really love to see you react to James Blunt's song Monsters. A bit of a back story about this song is that when James Blunt wrote it and made the video, his father was in stage 4 liver failure. He wrote this song for his dad. It is a definite "Must" for your reaction list. But, Do Not peek at even a portion of this video until you react to it for the first time.
Haha, I have to remember it, and not to peek. Will be careful when I download it for the reaction video. :)
Minor correction - kidney and not liver illness. :)
It’s perfect
It is amazing!! :)
If you want the more emotionally evocative version, the live performance on the Conan O'Brien Show was stunning. Just two lines into the song all of Conan's backstage crew came out to the wings to watch as they knew something special was happening, David Draiman was even sick that day and was uncertain about his ability to perform, but many think he did it better than this music video version. Certainly the audience was enthralled.
I really loved your reaction. No stopping and starting. Every time I watch this video I still get the goosebumps. I’ve seen a lot of the reactions where the stop every few seconds or so. It really is annoying. Thank you.
You are very welcome. It is annoying when they stop the video. :)
You have a new subscriber 👍
Good reaction. I liked it.
Simon and Garfunkel warned whereas disturb rage at the warning ignored
Love this song- I would recommend checking out Johnny Cash singing "Hurt". 👍👍👍
I hadn't heard of disturbed perse, (realised other day is a song had heard before this) I cried and at end went "holy fuckballs" and now i am addicted to watching reaction videos of this song, and crying and having different "thought imagery"(i have aphantasia) every time , the original I listened to AFTER this and like "words, music voice do NOT at all go, david and disturbed's version is perfection and an "gut punch", as a rule i'm an "internal storer of emotion" this song I think should get anyone not sociopathic
Should listen to Dan Vasc sing Amazing Grace excellent.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Hey there, always glad to see someone new checking out some cool music!
Disturbed’s version is very different from the original, and I absolutely love it, especially seeing as I heard this version before the original :‘D
So, I got some suggestions for artist you should definitely check out if you don’t know them yet.
They are all artist I listen to, and are a completely different style than disturbed, or the sound of silence.
So anyways, here’s my list of great artists to check out:
Aurora
- Runaway (official music video)
- All Is Soft Inside (Live ob KEXP)
I just love her as an artist as well as a genuine and kind human being. She is also generally better live, but you should check out runaways music video too, it isn’t her most viewed one for no reason.
If you enjoy her music I’d be happy to give you more suggestions!
Wardruna
- Lyfjaberg (official music video)
- Kvitravn (official music video)
- Wardruna ft. Aurora Helvegen - Live
So, old Norse folk music reimagined. As we don’t have a lot of actual music handed down from that age they made it their goal to reenact what could have been the peoples music in those times.
As their texts are usually not in English, feel free to activate the English subtitles or pull up the lyrics elsewhere, as the songs meanings go even further and deeper than the music makes you feel on its own already.
Heilung
- LIFA - Krigsgaldr LIVE
- LIFA - In Maidjan LIVE
- Anoana [Official Video]
If you liked the folk and traditional feeling of Wardruna, and are ready to be entranced, get this going. You can look up the lyrics after the reaction if you’d like to.
Now to some lesser known artists that are also up that alley (if you can call it that, their up my alley anyways)
Kalandra
- Brave New World (Live at Kulturkirken Jakob)
- Borders (Official Music Video)
They are far too small for the amazing music they make imo, but judge for yourself.
If you like them, they also have a great cover of Wardruna‘s song Helvegen, amongst other great music of their own.
Eivør
- Trøllabundin (Live Version from the 10.08.13)
- Falling Free (Live at the Old Theater in Thorshavn)
She has an amazing voice and stunning range, and her music is so relaxing and soothing yet makes me wanna dance every time!
Ok so, I‘m gonna cut it here for now, as I said, I’d be glad to recommend more of their work and other artists as well if you happen to enjoy this music as much as I do!
Also these aren’t songs to laugh, but some of them really hit me hard right into the feels every time I listen to them…
Dude, thanks. I will be checking this out, for sure. Thank you again for the comments. :)
I love this cover. It's so moving and the message is very clear. I would love if you did a reaction to Heilung | LIFA - Krigsgaldr LIVE version. I hope you will be moved by it!
Love this emotional song❤
If you got the chops and like a bit of rock and roll go find anything from AC/DC’s 3 nights in a row concerts at River Plate in Argentina in Dec of 2009. You won’t be disappointed!!!!! After all the lads are best tasted live in my humble opinion!!!!!!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😍😍😍🎸🎸🎸🤩😎🍸
Dude... grew up with AC/DC! Love them! Live at Caste Donington, England, August 17, 1991. Fantastic! Love watching people who hears "Thunderstruck" for the first time. Everybody loves it. :D
@@NoreactionswithJ Sweetness!!! Good to know you appreciate good old rock an roll!!!!🤩🤩🍸
Hope you enjoyed the ride! You were in the vortex for a while.
There were some second there where I forgot I was making a video. haha.
sup dood love yer vibe, no really, like your style and vibe great reaction
Thanks, dude! Glad you enjoyed. :D
You should do The Light by them as well. The Official Video
New viewer..
Great Reaction..
I have a few suggestions..
Electric Callboy - Hypa Hypa ( if u need to smile )
Falling in Reverse - Popular Monster ( to be rocked )
Tom Macdonald - People so Stupid ( to hear facts )
Jinjer - Pisces - ( to be blown away)
Pentatonics does a good version also but this is the best version by far😊
I have to check it out, thanks. :)
Everyone reacts to the same songs so I have a suggestion for you. Takida - Curly Sue.
Great song.
Try to their song Inside the Fire. I bet you will react to that too.
Hi John,
Just love Distubed's verson of Sound of Silence. As rebelbabeconner9064 mentioned, A Reason to Fight is a great one, and Hold on to Memories as well.
But, have you heard any Sabaton songs? I can recommend Christmas Truce, and listen to the lyrics as well as look at the video. Joachim has both a great voice and is a great song writer, and they will go very far to get their texts historical correct. They also have their own history channel!
You should do their song Hold on to Memories
I have actually heard that one. :)
Wow is easy to say.
It sure was/is! :)
Hello, greetings from the Czech Republic. I'll give you some tips on music I'd like to see from you because your reactions are great. My favorite in acapella - VopicePlay. They are funny, creative and incredibly good. If you want to hear the best singer on planet earth, listen to Dimash Kudaibergien. Start with the song SOS... a video from a Chinese show. So I will look forward to seeing if you respond to any of them and if you like them. Good luck. (Sorry, I'm not good at English, so Google took care of the translation :-) )
Well, google did a fine job. :D And greetings from Norway. :)
And thank you!
7 years by Sully Erna. I'd love to see how it hits you.
you should do a reaction to Five Finger Death Punch Wrong Side of Heaven
If you like this one you should listen to an artist called ren and his song Hi Ren it's amazing
Quelqu'un pourrait m'expliquer les paroles de cette belle chanson. J'adore et j'aimerais savoir de quoi parole cette belle chanson..s'il vous plaît..merci
J'oubliais je suis français et je ne comprends pas l'anglais.
You should try 'Comfortably Numb' by Pink Floyd.
Ow, I grew up with Pink Floyd. Even learned some of their songs on the guitar... forgotten now, though. :( But fantastic music!
Recommend, Mark Wills. Don't laugh at me.
Go on the DISTURBED journey...
Haha, maybe I have to do that. Really cannot remember any of their songs. That is bad...
Start with THE LIGHT... REASON TO FIGHT...
I like Disturbed a lot and this song is amazing. I'd suggest also checking out Ren's song Hi Ren. Couldn't be more different from this song, but it's another performance masterpiece and has something like 18m views. If you play it, his followers will come lol. Pro tip, don't use the subtitles. They're wrong and are incredibly distracting. You might also like Paolo Nutini's Iron Sky-Abbey Road Session. Here's the link czcams.com/video/ELKbtFljucQ/video.html. Subscribed!
You said at the start, "something wrong with the sound"? Pop quiz, what's the name of the song?
Perhaps watch Fallout by in Reverse’s Last Resort.
Have you heard him sing 'Hold on to Memories'?
Yes I have. :)
In the beginning you were hearing the "sound" of silence hence nothing.
We agree to disagree. Only one version of the song for me. Then again I'm happy for you if you prefer this one.
YES!! passed the serial killer test..... jk
Haha. ;D
Would you listen and try not to react to the song "Superman" by Tom Macdonald? New sub here.
Hubris
The only thing better than this song is British chocolate😂😂
Haha, chocolate is kind of special. ;)
Omg does nobody realise its the sound of silence that's been the problem
For those interested here's some history of the song...
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Silence
Honey, you look like a seemingly smart and handsome man trying to give opinions on music. It just ain't working for you. I watched your intro and immediatly clicked off of you. Try a different approach buddy. Too Creepy for us viewers. Really just trying to help ya, guy. Way Creepy.
Thank you, kind person. :)
