Hi Todd, my father always enjoyed your version of this song, we will be playing it at his funeral next Saturday. Excellent version! Thank you for sharing this with us!
@@tylergalloway7303 shut up the old mans been buried for a month and u now coming to show your support GTFO go pour him some liquor and sit your clown ass down
First a Gold Rush fan. Then I came across Todd singing his version. And absolutely blew me away!!! And each and every time someone plays their version I play Todd's and show them how it should be sang. My husband knows that this is my all time favorite song and Todd's my all time favorite singer! If I go first he will play this at my funeral and only Todd's version!
I’ve watched goldrush since the beginning, it’s brings a huge smile on my face to see how great of a singer he is! So surprising and almost unbelievable
Five years after I first heard you sing this song Todd, and it still moves me. Your voice touches my soul… I think I’ve probably listened to this song 1000 times. It moves me to the very core of my soul. Still rocked…. We are not worthy
Do you realize how hard the notes are to reach on this song? Todd you freaking give me goose bumps as I listen to it CRANKED UP!!! Am I the only one who feels he FLIPPING NAILED IT!
I've always said this is the best rendition of this song I have ever heard, and I've heard a few in my time, I'm 65. Todd sings it with such genuine passion and conviction. The more I listen to him sing this the more I know I'm right. Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant.
ja stimme Dir voll zu . Ich schaue auch jeden Tag auf DMAX die Goldwäscher an und da kann man sich nicht vorstellen , das diese Typ so super singen kann
I own Mr. Hoffman an apology. When I heard he was leaving Gold Rush to sing, I laughed at the idea. Well, I was wrong,. Mr. Hoffman, you have a beautiful voice. This is one of my favorate songs so I would be critical if not sung correctly. I could listen to you sing this oVer and over. GREAT JOB !
@@shawnobarker3255 Really....here's some advice Toddles....there are 10,000 singers who can sing an easy song like this one...all starving....go back and see if Parker will let you drive one of the DS50's.
I was just watching the episode of Todd Hoffman saying he was done with gold rush and was gonna concentrate on singing and I laughed...im not laughing anymore that was awesome it actually bought tears to my eyes I think you found your gold buddy don't stop doing what your doing
I didn't realize that I had any tears left until I heard the "Gold Dude" sing this song! It was like my entire childhood and memories of everyone I ever loved and lost came flooding back through my heart. You my friend have a very powerful and moving voice and I wish you well in your many endeavors. Thank you for letting the world in on your secret!!!
Amazing! How is this 5 years old and I’m just now seeing this. This song was my grandmothers favorite. We played it this past July at her funeral. Simon and Garfunkel. If I had known you mastered this song I would have used yours instead! Bless you man.
I love is voice and he really knows what is a fucking ugly road that is hard to walk through and he is not a person who has no idea what is hard life and the fact is that he knows how much that to change your mind and path and change your mind and make sure that they have the ability to do the right thing to be able to understand what is life no matter what
Haaaaaa men you have a heart that screams at the top of your lungs with amazing voice that makes everyone happy and you just give them shivers right through the spine to the brain you have a amazing voice and I thankyou for sharing your talents with all of 8
This is what the world is made of you can't judge a book by it's cover and you are listening to a real man who goes out there and shows the world what he is made of A REAL FUCKING MAN WHO HAS A GREAT HEART AND SOUL
Don't forget to subscribe, love you guys, Im finally singing some original songs with my band Sandy Mule, search us as we release one song after another.
I've always been a fan of your crew on GR, and the way your family proudly showed your faith, even while the world is eroding away to ruins... I had no idea you had pipes like this, your voice sounds passionate and deliberate. I subbed to you. Good luck to Sandy Mule from middle North Carolina. -Corey
Mr Todd Hoffman, You sir have an absolutely magical voice that makes this song more powerful than anything i have heard in many decades. I know this song has been sung by many artists and they have all done a wonderful rendition of it, but your version is by far the most moving for me that i have heard. I recently had my mom pass away and just listening to this song with you specifically singing it has, in a small way at least, helped me in moving forward after her passing. Thank you so much for sharing your magical voice with the world. A Golden treasure you are. I wish you all the best with your singing career. Keep it up.
I was only 16 when gold rush first started in 2010. My dad and i have enjoyed every season since despite the distance between us. It has always been something that bonded us and it really was a hit to the heart hearing you weren't going to be there anymore given you are what started the whole thing. Your crew not only brought me and my pops closer, but also taught me that you can do anything if you dream hard enough. And this just proves it even more. Thank you Todd Hoffman for the inspiration you have provided others that don't believe in themselves. Thumbs up so he can see!
Wow! This made me cry! What a heart this man has💖 First Gold Rush, then Hoffman Family Gold & I just heard this today. Wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing yourself so beautifully.
Prior to this, I had never watched one of Todd's videos. I read the video title and thought "Todd trying to sing? Oh I have to watch this train wreck." I wasn't expecting this as all. Wow! Damn, dude, you can really sing!
Sounds good but don't like lipsync videos. 9/10 3:36, when he opens his mouth for that word "sound" his tongue is flat... try making the sss first letter of "sound" while looking in a mirror you'll see what I mean... some of the other words weren't quite in sync
Thank you for saving me the time of posting. I agree 100%, thought it was going to be a train wreck but it was actually very good. Liked the Disturbed version as well.
This song is one of my late mother’s favourites songs, not since her funeral have I heard that song and I have never heard it sung with such passion! You just made a grown man cry! I think this will be the version played when I leave this mortal world!
Sadly since I posted that message i have lost my father also, Major stroke dec 19, passed away on 2nd jan 2021! Couldn’t ask for a worst end to 2020 and beginning of 2021! The song now has even greater meaning! Tell the ones you love everyday how much you love them for you never know when you might be able to say it but it cannot be heard!
frostythehelmet I'm so sorry to hear that, the last year has been a complete cluster-f*ck 😕 I wish you all the very best, you take care and stay strong 💚
This is by far the best rendition of this song… this goes right to my heart I think of my mom, she has been gone for 3years now, she would sing us to sleep for years as kids🌹🌹
I'd buy his music in a heartbeat....what a beautiful voice.....people are right man....you've had the gold with you all the time....AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one will ever beat simon and garfunkel for this song but the disturbed version comes a close 2nd. Todd is good but hes far from amazing at this song
OMG that voice 😍 PLZ don't ever again go to dig gold.... just sing, that you'r voice is amazing 💕😍👍 This song gives me a goose bumps every time i listen it!!!
To express yourself in vocal form with your version of this iconic song is one of the best versions I've ever heard, Disturb do a great version and a few others but you Express it with true emotion singing it with your own feelings. Depression is a terrible thing but song like this make the difference. Great job.
I rarely comment, but you left me no choice, Mr. Hoffman. This is one of my favorite songs and your rendition took my breath. Thank you for the feelings your voice bestowed on me this Sunday afternoon. It was gorgeous and that is a true understatement.
My mind if officially blown! I love this song. Always have. But I have never actually heard the words before. Goosebumps! I am now a fan of Todd Hoffman, the singer. Todd, if you're listening. STOP GOLD MINING! It is not your forte'. Put your efforts where your true talents lie! I'm stepping down now and smashing my soapbox.
Amazing. I listen to this at least once a day. I went back and listened to Simon and Garfunkel version, with no comparison. He kills this song. Totally addicted.
Wow, Todd.. I know you’ll probably never read this, but this is THE most amazing cover- what a truly talented and great singer you are! I love it. You went looking for gold, but damn brother, you had it inside you the whole time.
That was the favorite song of my oncle during his cancer and unfortunatly,he died😞...earing you singing this song make me cry so much because i loved him and i didnt have the time to say goodbye....
Just listened to five very different versions of this wonderful song... This is right up there for me with the best of them. You sing it beautifully Todd mate.
I am blown over..I can SO see an album with songs like this. Your voice is powerful,and beautiful. Dont go crazy with rock and roll.. This song was the bomb!!!! Congrats!!
Hello Todd, I met you watching the gold rush, I am from Spain, I am Spanish, I thank you for not giving up when you were looking for gold, and for being a Christian like me. Long live God and Jesus. Greetings from a Spaniard from Spain.
Tod Hoffman. Oh my god I did not expect this to come out of your mouth dude I'm lost for words you absolutely smash this song ..ive been following gold rush for a long time and I never knew you could do this ..i have listened to this over and over massive thankyou for sharing this with us ...from gavin in the UK:-)
By far my favourite cover of this song, every time i hear it it always gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes, you had gold in you this whole time ❤
This was definitly good. But it was not on the same level as the original. I doubt anyone can make a better version than disturbed, david's voice is just perfect for that song.
Way to go Todd.I’m binge watching all the early GR episodes…..anyhow I googled ur name and wound up listening to Sounds of Silence….what a voice !!! I’m starting to like you. God Bless, Dennis fom Long Island.
Oregon was a bust,,and most people could have told him that, BUT, Colorado looks promising...and wouldn't you know, it wasn't HIS find,,it was Mr. Dodge that pulled old Todd out of the dump HE put himself and his crew into...so maybe they need a new leader.
I shared this song with a very good friend of mine through whatsapp. We both liked the "Gold Rush" show on Discovery channel so much ... and to see Todd bring this song in such an incredible way.... WOW. Unfortunately my friend past away not long after... But now i keep coming back to this song.... feeling emotional every time.
I support this man. I support his ups and downs in life. He's a fighter, he's a warrior. Only God can judge this man! This is amazing Todd! Roar that cord brother!!!! God is with YOU!!!! Be courageous, be strong, do not be afraid for thy God will be with you wherever you go!
This is one of the most powerful voices I have ever heard. I have watched this a million times. Most people who cover the original songs do not do it for ..they mess it. You on the other hand have the most incredible voice and have done this jugist...hairs standing on end .....scrap your day job...you are worth a thousand times more then that. Amazing talent amazing voice.
Personally, I feel it is better than the original. Todd, so much passion in your voice. I will miss you and your crew on Gold Rush. Always a joy to know you put your faith in God and prayed. Good luck on all the new ventures. God Bless
At 1:40 I got chills. Todd so powerful. You had gold the entire time in you regardless of the the tough seasons you had. Hell of a father, singer, and miner. Much love and respect.
I never thought when I was a teen listening to this song in the seventies that it would be so very fitting and the way everything seems today and I miss peoples smiles and their eyes there are barely windows to the souls because they wear these mask which which means don’t talk to anybody don’t look at anybody don’t have a connection to anybody don’t love anybody …..I refuse to wear a mask I will continue to share my smile ……. For at least all babies and children to see it…..God keep us strong and Jesus keep us together please thank you for sharing and your beautiful voice too 😇
Todd, this is fabulous! I've loved this song since the 70s, lol... & your cover of it is one of the best versions ever! Also really dig the background scenery; really goes well with the song. Thanks for sharing this with the world. :)
Hallo Todd, was für eine grandiose Darbietung. Auch wenn du vermutlich kein deutsch verstehst, möchte ich dir trotzdem meinen absoluten Respekt für diese außergewöhnliche Stimme zollen. Dieses Stück wurde so oft gecovert, aber hier stimmt einfach alles. Nicht nur auf musikalischer Ebene, sondern auch auf Emotionaler. Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße aus Germany...

Awesome thanks
Five years after I first heard you sing this song Todd, and it still moves me. Your voice touches my soul…
I think I’ve probably listened to this song 1000 times.
It moves me to the very core of my soul.
Still rocked….
We are not worthy
Do you realize how hard the notes are to reach on this song? Todd you freaking give me goose bumps as I listen to it CRANKED UP!!! Am I the only one who feels he FLIPPING NAILED IT!
Nope, you're not. This is the best song and hes voice makes it so powerful. I just love this song.
The BEST cover of this song. Period
@@59mikemike lol have you heard the cover from Disturbed
I'm guessing you've never heard of autotune.
@@TheSpongiform clearly you don’t know how auto tune works, this isn’t auto tune.
Man I'm speechless. I watched every episode of Gold Rush you were in and never had a clue you had a voice of gold!. Thanks for making my day. 😀
"Wow" 😳😳!!!just took the words out of my mouth, wow !! It is gold, love your version !!! I love it congrats !!
🤪💋🥰
I fully agree, what a cool day to discover your voice!! Rock on Todd!! 🤘
It’s beautiful todd
I've always said this is the best rendition of this song I have ever heard, and I've heard a few in my time, I'm 65. Todd sings it with such genuine passion and conviction. The more I listen to him sing this the more I know I'm right. Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant.
Yep. Same here. You're right.
Still here 2024!!!..best version Ive heard still to this day.
Vom Goldschürfer zum Sänger. Was eine Stimme. Gänsehaut Garantie. Hammer
Facts
Das stimmt mein größter Respekt
ja stimme Dir voll zu . Ich schaue auch jeden Tag auf DMAX die Goldwäscher an und da kann man sich nicht vorstellen , das diese Typ so super singen kann
ich finde seine Stimme sehr gut, er hätte es viel früher machen sollen, er hätte sich viel Stress und Ärger erspart, WEITER SO
I own Mr. Hoffman an apology. When I heard he was leaving Gold Rush to sing, I laughed at the idea. Well, I was wrong,. Mr. Hoffman, you have a beautiful voice. This is one of my favorate songs so I would be critical if not sung correctly. I could listen to you sing this oVer and over. GREAT JOB !

I bet he would,since I know how to run ds50s!
I have never heard this sung as good as Todd singing it. It moves me emotionally. Tears. Thank you so much for sharing your voice and soul.
This is one of the greatest versions of this song I’ve ever heard, great work, Todd!
agreed
It’s a copy of disturbed’s version
Still, you should hear Tara Bloch-Veres version from The Voice too.
@@steinolavlarsen4556 Tried it, totally not for me. To theatrical, she’s showing what she can do with her voice, not telling the story of silence. JMO
? Its a cop out version if ya cant sing it in the right octave, dont bloody sing it.
I was just watching the episode of Todd Hoffman saying he was done with gold rush and was gonna concentrate on singing and I laughed...im not laughing anymore that was awesome it actually bought tears to my eyes I think you found your gold buddy don't stop doing what your doing
Curtis Ray me too! This song kinda feels like a farewell to his gold rush
many of bands will pick u up, go for it !
i my self did the same an then came hear to see what hes like. . omg gid
Curtis, you wrote what was in my head of i hear this awesome voice for the First Time! Dear Todd forget gold, your Voice is Titan!! Thank good for it
My favorite version
I didn't realize that I had any tears left until I heard the "Gold Dude" sing this song! It was like my entire childhood and memories of everyone I ever loved and lost came flooding back through my heart. You my friend have a very powerful and moving voice and I wish you well in your many endeavors. Thank you for letting the world in on your secret!!!

You should hear disturbed's version it's epic
My fave cover of this powerful song. Todd’s voice expresses the words with such feeling

Best Cover In The World!
Respect to you fantastic voice proud of you keep it up
I live in Gresham so we are close to each other. Please let me know if you plan on singing close by. Truly an honor buddy. ❤️

I hope tod hvil be a famus singer
i hope you have better years.🤐 and you right his voice is so good 😉
Lovely version but Disturbed is the best
@@bingandbongfan Pentatonix is good too
Omg why was this guy ever a gold miner, his voice is amazing
Wow Todd. What a brilliant voice.
I have watched and loved you on Gold Rush for years but your singing has blown me away.
Unbelievable Todd
Remember Parker decided to tease us about Todd being a so-so singer
Failed in every Gold Season, but win for every time in one Song!
Great Mister Hoffman! Respect!
Mar Lau he sounds like shit !!
Absolutely stunning!!
@@milliesmomo AUTOTUNED!
@@shawnobarker3255 Its not autotune you fucking moron. He actually sings this good.

He has a trumpet for a voice to deliver a message from a higher source. I do believe. An i just heard it
What the heck was you digging for gold when you’ve got a voice like that!!! Absolutely brilliant 🤩
U mean what the frick
No I meant heck, you may say frick but I would say heck, I guess it depends on where you come from 😊
U obviously don't watch gold rush, that's Tod's saying
I say what the fuck
Wow! This made me cry! What a heart this man has💖 First Gold Rush, then Hoffman Family Gold & I just heard this today. Wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing yourself so beautifully.
A true American Christian.
Prior to this, I had never watched one of Todd's videos. I read the video title and thought "Todd trying to sing? Oh I have to watch this train wreck." I wasn't expecting this as all. Wow! Damn, dude, you can really sing!
Sounds good but don't like lipsync videos. 9/10

If you watched gold rush or heard him talk then listened to this then you could tell he aint lip syncing and not same voice as david draiman
I think its because they have recorded it and then made a music video after ;) He would be standing with a mic up in his face when recording it
Bad Karma same
Thank you for saving me the time of posting. I agree 100%, thought it was going to be a train wreck but it was actually very good. Liked the Disturbed version as well.
This song is one of my late mother’s favourites songs, not since her funeral have I heard that song and I have never heard it sung with such passion! You just made a grown man cry! I think this will be the version played when I leave this mortal world!
I introduced this song to my cousin right before his Mum passed in 2019, he played this at her funeral too, all the best my man, take care 🤝
Sadly since I posted that message i have lost my father also, Major stroke dec 19, passed away on 2nd jan 2021! Couldn’t ask for a worst end to 2020 and beginning of 2021! The song now has even greater meaning! Tell the ones you love everyday how much you love them for you never know when you might be able to say it but it cannot be heard!
frostythehelmet I'm so sorry to hear that, the last year has been a complete cluster-f*ck 😕

Me too!! I want Todd's & Disturbed's version playing simultaneously when I depart this world. Shake up the place a bit!

This is by far the best rendition of this song… this goes right to my heart I think of my mom, she has been gone for 3years now, she would sing us to sleep for years as kids🌹🌹

He was looking for gold this whole time. But it was really in his voice the whole time. I have chills from this. Truly amazing.
Paige Seymore riiight..
Paige Seymore I would agree with you
More like, "hello Deafness my old friend". It makes me long for the actual sound of silence.
Iril
I'd buy his music in a heartbeat....what a beautiful voice.....people are right man....you've had the gold with you all the time....AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heather Hunt i 💯 percent agree with you! I keep looking for his music online lol I’m hoping he puts out a cd or something! So amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I never even suspected that you had a voice like that. You got pure gold right there, you don't need to go digging for it 😁
Just listened to five very different versions of this wonderful song... This is right up there for me with the best of them. You sing it beautifully Todd mate.
I am blown over..I can SO see an album with songs like this. Your voice is powerful,and beautiful. Dont go crazy with rock and roll.. This song was the bomb!!!! Congrats!!
Hello Todd, I met you watching the gold rush, I am from Spain, I am Spanish, I thank you for not giving up when you were looking for gold, and for being a Christian like me. Long live God and Jesus. Greetings from a Spaniard from Spain.
I never get tired of hearing this song by Todd.
Tod Hoffman. Oh my god I did not expect this to come out of your mouth dude I'm lost for words you absolutely smash this song ..ive been following gold rush for a long time and I never knew you could do this ..i have listened to this over and over massive thankyou for sharing this with us ...from gavin in the UK:-)
Agreed!
me neither.....i didn't expect this,i fell in love with this tune...
Agreed, been watching gold rush since the start. From another UK lad.
+1 damn this sounds good !! never expected, my compliments
Dude same
I just saw this on Instagram and I was thinking oh my god i watched the Series for a long time and never expected something so beautiful from this man
This is by far the best version of this song I've heard many This is absolutely my favorite
I've been saying for 50 years that this was the best song ever written.
There is no way. I never expected Todd to have such voice.
Years spent searching all over the earth for gold. All you had to do was look in your heart!
AWWWWWWWWWW
YES!! 💗
You mean a good music editor
This is autotuned a lot he can't sing like this
Wow, that statement touched my heart ❤
By far my favourite cover of this song, every time i hear it it always gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes, you had gold in you this whole time ❤
This never gets old! Gonna listen to this version till I die😊
I remember watching gold rush years ago and looked up Todd Hoffman and didn’t expect this. Wow
This took me by surprise. I was not expecting it to be as good as Disturbed-especially when he takes it up a notch. God bless you Todd.
This was definitly good.
But it was not on the same level as the original.
I doubt anyone can make a better version than disturbed, david's voice is just perfect for that song.
@@talsapps Errrr, Disturbed is not the original, Simon and Garfunkel 1964, Disturbed was 2015
Way to go Todd.I’m binge watching all the early GR episodes…..anyhow I googled ur name and wound up listening to Sounds of Silence….what a voice !!! I’m starting to like you.
God Bless, Dennis fom Long Island.
I know it's a cover but wow Mr.Todd Hoffman you can put heart in the music
He got more gold in that voice than he ever got and gets in the show :-p
Oregon was a bust,,and most people could have told him that, BUT, Colorado looks promising...and wouldn't you know, it wasn't HIS find,,it was Mr. Dodge that pulled old Todd out of the dump HE put himself and his crew into...so maybe they need a new leader.
Just want to thank you for making my day with that comment
For sure.
That's for damn sure lol. Still, If I were him I wouldn't quit my day job lol.
Best comment
Oh... my... god..., I... i don't know what to say, i, I have no words, just... amazing...
Hi Todd, your Voice is the best i love him so much 👊. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Every time I listen to Todd I get goosebumps! Such a massive amazing voice! Golden voice ❤️
I shared this song with a very good friend of mine through whatsapp. We both liked the "Gold Rush" show on Discovery channel so much ... and to see Todd bring this song in such an incredible way.... WOW. Unfortunately my friend past away not long after... But now i keep coming back to this song.... feeling emotional every time.
Steven Goethals sorry to hear about your friend passing bud, my condolences, this will be a great son to remember him by. May god bless his soul.😊🙏🏽
Steven Goethals dude that sucks
Steven Goethals I'm so sorry sorry for your loss, my condolences 😔🙏
ever heard of AUTOTUNE? GOOGLE THAT SHIT!!
@@shawnobarker3255 I actually don't care if it's autotune or not. It's about what the song means to me... and i like it alot.
I support this man. I support his ups and downs in life. He's a fighter, he's a warrior. Only God can judge this man! This is amazing Todd! Roar that cord brother!!!! God is with YOU!!!! Be courageous, be strong, do not be afraid for thy God will be with you wherever you go!
I came here from Instagram, while I'm a fan of disturbed and the way they sang it I truly love this version.
His voice has POWER!, Its deep, strong!
Mr. Todd Hoffman, you have a beautiful voice. GOLD
Todd deine stimme ist echt DER HAMMER.
Großen Respekt ✌🏻
Damals ein goldschürfer heute bester Sänger
Wünderschönes Lied👍
On my hardest days I come here and listen to your voice. Always calms me down and helps me get through it. ❤ Thank you!
This is one of the most powerful voices I have ever heard. I have watched this a million times. Most people who cover the original songs do not do it for ..they mess it. You on the other hand have the most incredible voice and have done this jugist...hairs standing on end .....scrap your day job...you are worth a thousand times more then that. Amazing talent amazing voice.
Personally, I feel it is better than the original. Todd, so much passion in your voice. I will miss you and your crew on Gold Rush. Always a joy to know you put your faith in God and prayed. Good luck on all the new ventures. God Bless
Nothing is better than an original. If not for the original this would not exist...give credit and respect where it's due
You refering to Simon & Garfunkel, right?! Please don't say that the original is Disturbed or I'll be disturbed for a while...
Of course I meant Simon and Garfunkel....all else is drivel
Debi Rowlett this is so true
I truly hate when people says "The original is the best" and they mean disturbed hahaha
This needs to be herd around the world oh my lord thats a gift why did u wate so long i want it on everything!
Wow! I’ve always loved this song, even more so now. Beautiful!
Obviously 'Gold Rush' did not realise the gold was in front them the entire time. Beautiful mate.
Wow. Didn't expect that...well done.
At 1:40 I got chills. Todd so powerful. You had gold the entire time in you regardless of the the tough seasons you had. Hell of a father, singer, and miner. Much love and respect.
Never thought I'd hear this song covered any better than Disturbed but now I have!
Check out pentatronics version.
I never thought when I was a teen listening to this song in the seventies that it would be so very fitting and the way everything seems today and I miss peoples smiles and their eyes there are barely windows to the souls because they wear these mask which which means don’t talk to anybody don’t look at anybody don’t have a connection to anybody don’t love anybody …..I refuse to wear a mask I will continue to share my smile ……. For at least all babies and children to see it…..God keep us strong and Jesus keep us together please thank you for sharing and your beautiful voice too 😇
Todd, this is fabulous! I've loved this song since the 70s, lol... & your cover of it is one of the best versions ever! Also really dig the background scenery; really goes well with the song. Thanks for sharing this with the world. :)
pam prier oh shit Todd's got a groupie
+Buck Wild65 true two if u think about 9 11 that's the real meaning of the song I'm the second groupie
I really hope you do a CD as I would buy one... Love this song for some reason..
I know he is amazing
phillip goulding I wouldn't by shit if it had his name on it !! Whatever he touches goes to shit
Mountain man Hounds man BUY** idiot.
Mountain man Hounds man someone didnt love you enough when you where a child did they
Wow Todd this is by far the best sound of silence cover i ever heard, i literally Shed a tear hearing your version.
Hallo Todd, was für eine grandiose Darbietung. Auch wenn du vermutlich kein deutsch verstehst, möchte ich dir trotzdem meinen absoluten Respekt für diese außergewöhnliche Stimme zollen. Dieses Stück wurde so oft gecovert, aber hier stimmt einfach alles. Nicht nur auf musikalischer Ebene, sondern auch auf Emotionaler. Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße aus Germany...
