Hey guys this VIDEO (visuals are great) --- however, when I do react -- rest assured I do watch the visuals. However on this occasion, I was complete taken back with the audio experience. I did make a comments about the visuals as and when I could ! But I am not playing where is Waldo. If you are kind enough to indicate factors in the video that mean something to you, then please do so! Music can be quite subjective. 5:42 - I make comments about the video. 10:04 - the video is good. I cover the musical scores. 10:15 - freedom of music, freedom of speech - and disclaimer if I have missed off other cues. 12:02 - I AM PERPLEXED with the video and audio combined.
15:02 - Other forces in the universe at work here. Hope that helps. A lot to take in. His voice was very captivating. Thanks for enjoying. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Your almost too kind and considerate ;)

Arctic Norway over and out o/
Thank you for the wonderful reaction. First time I watched this I found myself holding my breath...forgetting to breathe. If it hasn't already been suggested, I'm sure you'll enjoy the live version on Conan as well. I watched it, lol, just to see if he could really sing it live, as I'd never heard of Disturbed. Also, I was afraid of maybe ruining the experience I'd had with this song by listening to other 'heavy metal' songs by Disturbed....but I have since done so and I love them...and I'm 63! In thanks, I would like to gift you a beautiful song. Whether you tape a reaction or not is your choice...I'd just like you to enjoy hearing her amazing voice. Her name is Ailee and in this link she is performing a song called 'Everyone' on a tv show called 'Immortal Songs'. Thank you again. Liked and Subscribed. czcams.com/video/TzvWja2Jxe8/video.html
simon and garfunkel started this song, disturbed finished it, you discribed it how it should be discribed, emotional, and the video was amazing, it get into your soul, well done you x
I thought you did a great job with this video.
I saw them perform this live, and it was even more amazing and emotional than the video!
You don’t see this song with your eyes, you recognize it with your soul.
I love that.
For a song written in 1964, the lyrics are as relevant now as they were then... even more imperative!
And yet we still can't hear.
Amen
David Draiman's voice is unparalleled !! Awesome....so controlled and just damn natural talent!!
He’s trained in opera. Just phenomenal!!
Have always been a Disturbed and Simon&Garfunkel fan. Bought this Disturbed cd, when this song came in, couldn’t believe it. Made me cry. Sooo much more powerful, emotionally, than S&G. David’s sadness, anger and frustration evident in every note. Still makes me tear up❤️❤️
David said in an interview that this is not a copy or a cover. this is an homage to Simon & Garfunkle...As far as Im concerned there will never be a better one by anyone else
I am starting to think the same! The emotion and rage toward the end! Pheww..
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Totally understand what you mean that it touches your soul. I literally get goosebumps every time I listen to this! His voice is beautifully haunting!
Yes it was... I was really taken back with the emotional depth this song had.

BRAVO!!!!! I have spent entire days over a few year's, watching reaction videos to this song. I absolutely LOVE this song. There are SO many different layers to the Official Video! It is Visually AMAZING! The Music and how they instrumentally grow is Genius!! David Draiman's Vocal's... First, his voice is Not Auto-Tuned as most artist's are. Then we can go into quality and clarity of his voice. It is just Amazing and I cry every time because of the sheer POWER! The Entire Presentation just leaves me wanting more. Your Reaction is one of the Best I have Seen!
I’m 64 yrs old and this song production has the most meaning and power I have ever seen or heard 😮😮😮 and in my younger years I was a singer in a rock band 😮
Same ❤
It's a incredibly difficult and emotional experiences whenever I listen to this song. This song was my son's favourite song. He was such a huge Disturbed fan. This song was played as they carried my son's coffin at his funeral when he passed away last year. The listening experience of this song is so bittersweet for me...such deep lyrics and the way David sings them digs deep into you soul so thoroughly that you want to flail in them...happy memories of my son listening to this song as it boomed through the house on the highest volume and soul deep sadness that nothing will ever wash away as I remember my final goodbye to my son. Music, like all art forms, is made to make us FEEL, to elicit a reaction, good or bad, and this song, this cover of Simon & Garfunkel's Sound of Silence certainly does that doesn't it?
I have always been a fan of the original, however, after first hearing this rendition, which gives the song a totally different vibe (my emotional attachment aside) I kinda prefer this one now. I remember an interview, David (David Draiman lead singer) gave in regards to this song; he said that it had been a long time since he had sang that way--he usually sings metal--and it literally brought him to tears.
Reaching people through the shared experience of music, thanks Hap.
Really sorry to hear about your son Jones! Our best wishes are with you. I had NO idea how popular or meaningful this song was before reacting. Do take care.

I'm so sorry about your son, I couldn't even imagine how hard that is, I lost my brother 8 years ago and my mom is still crying at night, I hope you can find peace and I'm sure he's watching over you.. ❤️❤️
I know that feeling. My son was murder October 15, 2016. And this song reminds me of him as he was a musician and wrote music. His favorite song was the Donny Darko version of Mad World
I get your pain. I had green day time of your life played at my 17 year old sons funeral. So sorry for your loss.
😔🙏🙏
This song always gives me chills.
Always loved this song by Simon and Garfunkel but this version by Disturbed is the best!! Best cover ever!! You should listen to the original people say Simon and Garfunkel version was a warning and Disturbed version was the anger when no one listens!! Was excited to see you do this!! Great reaction!!
And PTX's is one of hope that everything will be alright
Listening also to the live version with Myles Kennedey
Pretty sure it was Simon and Garfunkle that said that or Disturbed can't remember
This band is OUTSTANDING!!! The song is timeless and classic but this version speaks to your soul!! The instruments are simply amazing!!! This song speaks to your soul... if you don't like this song, you have no soul... or go check your hearing!!! EPIC, EPIC, EPIC!!! This song is magic!!!
I’m an addicted. I can admit it. I’m addicted to watching reaction videos to this song. I have seen dozens. I real enjoyed this one. Probably more than any others. Good job.
Experienced. That is the only word to describe hearing this song. You don’t just hear it. You don’t dance to it. You EXPERIENCE it. Simon & Garfunkel gave us the poetry, David Draiman gave us the warning.
David Draiman is classically trained. Paul Simon isn't big on covers, but he loves this one.
David himself stated in a interviewer that he was Not classically or operatic trained. He was trained to be ,a Cantor when he was younger by his Father
The original song was a gentle, but poignant, warning.
Disturbed's cover is an epic Jeremiad, condemning us for ignoring the warning.
This is absolutely true!
Spot on... spot on...
David Draiman has an amazing voice! :)
Disturbed is a big heavy metal band so nothing they do is gentle. It was a shock to their fandom that any part of a song they did was gentle. The violence and intensity as the song progresses is more their style yet served this particular song very well compared to the very placid piece it was with the original writers.
That's deep. That's explains why it meshed so well.

The live version on Conan is amazing! David Draiman was sick with the flu and the band made him sit on a stool to sing. He nails the performance with zero autotune!
David admitted in interview that the Conan version did have auto tune and was against his wishes. David vehemently does not like auto tune and was very displeased when he found out that the production team on Conan used it because they were too concerned he needed the support because he was sick. Other than that forced instance, there is no auto tune used by Disturbed.
It's 2 years on, but if no one ever mentioned it, the band spent $1 million on the video to do it right. David's family are Jewish cantors and he actually trained to sing opera at one point in his career. As I understand it, he wanted to learn how to best use and also protect his voice. Good thing. He has serious throat issues and isn't exactly a hard-living rocker now. It's all diet and health. So, late as it may be, thank you for your insights! I subscribed so will be looking forward to more. And the song is different things to different people. I agree it's about music, but also about how disconnected so many people are from each other. This is the only cover of Sound of Silence that Paul Simon approved of, or so I've heard. Thanks again!
I have heard this hundreds of times (literally). I love it so much. I think it is my all time favourite song. I’ve watched dozens of “reaction” videos of it when I came across yours. I can honestly say, it is, by far, l the best. You made so much sense to me. I love the way you described the music like a painting and the different instruments adding different layers and depth. This is the first time I’ve commented on one of these videos but I want to thank you so much. I know have an even bigger understanding of this tune 🙏🥰
Have watched and listened to this song countless times and it still gives me chills
The combination of audio and visual here are simply spellbinding.
The control of his voice is amazing. Beautiful interpretation
I am really going to have to check out some more material.

he was classical trained
David’s voice in this song just hits your soul in such a way that there is no words….this cover will go down in history as THE greatest cover ever to be made 🤯
Great reaction!! Really loved it!! 💖💖
I can tell you that I have grown up with the original, I was listening to it when I needed to relax and put my mind at ease, it's soft and melodic, but I have NEVER payed attention to the lyrics... I was like a child waiting for their bed time story not because being interested in the story, but because they loved their mother's voice...
The day I have first seen the Disturbed's version popping up on my CZcams I was afraid to press the "play" button... mainly because I had already known Disturbed and I wasn't sure I would like a heavy metal cover. Had previously seen a few more covers and haven't been impressed... but curiosity won and... saying that I have heard the best cover ever and it goes well above the original won't tell enough about how I've felt.
For the first time in more than 25 years, I had listened to the lyrics, I had to, David Draiman's voice simply commeded that . And I got the message, in my own way, of course. Because, in my oppinion, the lyrics are now more true than ever before.
Music is, and hopefully will always be, the best human way of expressing one's feelings, from the deepest rage to the deepest love. When the instrument are destroyed and people are writting songs "that voices never share" it is like somebody is really trying to shout the mankind down, for the feelings not to be spoken anymore, or even felt anymore. It's like somebody trying to turn us into biorobots... and this is EXACTLY what's going on now-a-days. Society forcing us to follow patterns. Forcing us to stay aligned to some "social standards". We are afraid to speack our minds ("people talking without speaking") either because the others would not understand us ("people hear without listening"), or they would use our words and feelings against us in this crazy race to get better social possition, to make more money, to get possition of power and becoming the so-called "gods" playing with others' destinies, as the ppl behind the current technologies had become.
We've become more and more distant from each other, dependent on technologies ("the Neon God they've made" - so true, it was us buying their technology and giving them power over us) deaf to others' screaming for help, blind to their sufference, slowly loosing our humanity, slowly embedding ourseves in our bubble of silence, sure victims of current or future deppresios ("the darkness", the "old friend").
Now, Disturbed had chosen this name especially because they were bent to sing EXACTLY about this kind of things, about the "disturbing" problems of our society, namely, about how society is treating ppl who are different, either having mental disorders, or simply being different, individualities standing out for their ideas or ways of being.
But the thing I really love about Disturbed (and yes, they are my nr 1 favourite band of all times and all genres) is that they do more than complainig about the actual situation, they are really try to fight it. They are always trying to open our eyes and minds against any manipulation used against us. The reason their version of this song is a battle cry. Something like: "Haven't you heard the warning? Hey, wake up! Time to hear US, at least, and DO something!!!"
My oppinion, of course, no offence intended. And sorry for the long post.
Elena Dinu Well done!!
@Barbara White, thank you. Was just being honest.
U are spot on. Never to long when u have something worth saying. And u did great!!
Simon and Garfunkle were trying to warn us. David Draiman was letting us know that that we failed.
Great reaction. So glad you did this - knew you’d love it. Never heard of this guy until I saw a performance of this on the Conan O’Brian talk show. Was so impressed. Have heard that Paul Simon loved it. You can’t beat that!
Cool! Thank you Jane for your comment.

I had not seen the video for this but had heard the song many times. The video is powerful and goes so well with the song. Like you said HAP, it went into my emotions. Cor blimey!!! 🌻🌷🌻
The imagery fit so well with the music, and the raw power of David Draiman's dynamic voice really set the mood and tone of the scene. This version really captures the darkness of the lyrics better than any version I've heard. Loved it since I first heard it.
Great video, analytic yet not long winded in the pauses (imo the most common issue in reaction videos), you deserve a sub
This is a song you don't hear with your ears, you feel it with your soul. David is amazing.
I grew up with the original Simon & Garfunkel version of this and it's a beautiful song. I had never heard this version before but I really liked it!
Cover of Simon & Garfunkel song which was done in the 60’s, beautiful rendition and pulls your heart strings
This pulled my musical heart strings the visuals were great.

You should watch the Live version on Conan. It was amazing
The fact that this could be sung live as beautifully as it was recorded is a testament to David Draiman and Disturb's talent. Love the orchestration of the Conan version. Love both versions.
Add in the fact he was sick the night of the Conan gig with cold/flu & wasn’t sure he could do it, it’s an amazing performance!
Absolutely. And David was ill when he did Conan. Beautiful
I liked the video version better just because the visuals blew me away. I USUALLY DO like live performances better tho :-)
IttyBitty YMP He had the flu on conan’s show too. Amazing
The video is impeccable. David's voice is unmatched.
Goosebumps, every time...
everything can just carry you away.

Obsessed with this song & the msg that was portrayed so many yrs ago, I was just a baby & can remember my older siblings listen to it, but this one BLOWS IN OUT OF THE BALL PARK! 👍👍😎👍👍& I am a DISTURBED fan too.. 😊
I can only describe it as “ iron fist in a velvet glove” Beautiful 👏👍❤️
I love how he actually uses silence in the beginning of the video as well as just before the last 2 words at the end. Actually using the sound of silence itself to enhance the song.
This is the only song that makes me cry every time I hear it and I play it nightly. Just beautiful.
Was thinking how cleverly they used 3 visuals/audio bits to add to the music video.
At beginning the first seen is silent just like the sound of silence .
When girl is writing the musical note his voice rises at exact same time as the vertical line rises.
The blacked out visual between the last Sounnnnnnd ( then ) of silence , it is a visual silence with the faint echo of the song ringing in the well of silence .
Finally somebody who really, really gets it .Genious!!!!!!!.
The original: Great
Pentatonix: Amazing
Disturbed: Awesome
The song itself is just: WOW!!!🙏
The original is 2 little men frolicking and talking about a dream. Too fast tempo without real meaning. I grew up with it
Pentatonix is a huge improvement but with a touch of egotistics... pretty and amazing what can be done with their voices, but sadly they're just singing a song they were given to sing
Disturbed has the true meaning of the lyrics, no ego, just pure emotion injected through the voice into our soul. The song now belongs to David.
Loving the way you're explaining how you see the music, friggin amazing!!!!!!
Thank you 🙏 so much for doing this reaction! Was waiting for you to get to that ending part with an amplified power and rage. It’s become my routine already to feel that uplifting, “fly away” moment with this song- I just fix my eyes on the video and let it take me higher and higher to that almost painfully miraculous ending.
Please listen to the lyrics - this is so relevant now
I love this version of Disturbed's Sound of Silence. I have heard David is a classically trained Cantor. But there is something even more special about the original Simon and Garfunkel track that I grew up with. I love their live performance in NY's Central Park. There is just something unique about singers without autotune. I'm taking nothing away from David's incredible voice, or the way he sings it or the fact that his live Conan performance got autotuned without his approval. I just love that how before there was autotune, each live performance had a distinctive, once in a lifetime quality to it. In the audience, you felt like you had heard something never to be heard again. Great reaction!
The piano is amazing in this, along with David's voice!!
This is a cover song. The original artist is Simon and Garfunkel done in 1963.
It was written by Paul Simon
It was about the assignation of Bobby Kennedy and he was trying to tell people to love each other but no listen and this is his version In anger because no one listens, And it pretty much tells the future. People talking with out listening (texting)
Great reaction
Umm... Bobby Kennedy wasn't assassinated until 1968. Maybe you meant the President, John F Kennedy?
I heard an interview YEARS ago, and Paul said the meaning wasn't anything deep or profound. Here is a video that is pretty accurate to what I heard. czcams.com/video/9cc5SW5ia9s/video.html
Exactly...not many realize the connection to JFK . I think maybe the listening without hearing is the fact that so many listen to respond rather than listen to understand!
@@AJfanboy1 your right JFK
Thanks for the correction
It's a prophecy written for the day we are living in now
Indeed. Never been more relevant than the times we are in now. Draiman sings it with the emotion and power that should be sung for this warning.
Best cover ever!!!
One of my favourite songs now in my playlist. PTX version was really good!! and I like this version as well. Thanks for introducing such great music to me(us), Hap! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow! Another awesome reaction! Thank you for sharing!
this cover encapsulates what our world has become. people talking without saying anything and hearing without listening. this song was predictive of the world's situation now, even though i'm not sure it was meant to be. yet in a way maybe??
That is very deep. Thank you sharing.

I was way more excited than is probably healthy when I saw this upload. Lol Great great version!!! Only word I can think of to accurately describe it is Eargasmic!
So glad you did this reaction.
This has to be my favorite reaction video. Brilliant!
for a couple of years know I keep turning to this song. It touches me deeply. You have come closest to putting it together. Thank you, Catherine
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
So glad you reacted to this!! Loved hearing your thoughts. I had never heard of Disturbed before reaction videos to this song started showing up on my youtube feed all the time. I finally gave in and watched a reaction - now it's on my must watch list with Queen's Somebody to Love Montreal and Brian Justin Crum's Creep on AGT. I have an emotional reaction to all three songs no matter how often I watch - and I watch often! The dynamics, the emotional build, in all three have me hooked.
David Draiman. Amazing. I can't think of anyone else who can sing that low... so well. What a rich, powerful, voice! What a powerful video.
LCB Exactly, Queen’s Somebody to Love in Montreal is widely regarded as the best live performance but Brian Justin Crum’s Creep is rarely mentioned. Those two, along with this amazing piece of art never fail to bring chills.
David sings with so much pleasure and yet it is spiked with pain
lonely quiet people with sheet music, instruments on other side, the build.. perfect
You are truly the best reactor on utube! Your enthusiasm, Comments.... yip. All spot on. Great job! 😊😊 thanks for doing this ...for our pleasure! :)
Thank you very much. 👍🏽🎶 Appreciate your sincerity and kindness. 💜

First time I've watched you react to anything but Queen... Amazing choice!!! I remember the original & I usually do not like/respect a Cover Tune...but, DANG....he nailed it!! You are right - his voice is an instrument.
where have you been for the past month? hm
@@HAP3SPEAKZ LOL....Kind of a Queen - snob sometimes and get in my " only listen to Queen " moods. But I'll try to be better, I do look for your videos everyday.
Absolutely Beautiful ... I knew you would love.
Goosebumps, chills, and ALL the feels - love, love, LOVE this version of this song.
This os great.. I love this version
One of the best covers ever, in my humble opinion! I grew up on S + G, and listened to Disturbed as a young adult. I echo, one of the best covers ever!!
It was enlightening to hear your interpretation. The layers of colors and sounds! Amazing! This is really the best singer, the best song!
"That's an experience ".....TRUEST thing I've ever ever heard about this song. The journey you go on with this vocal and performance can't be described by any other more accurate term. It's a complete experience and journey and one filled with so many emotions.
There is another one of this song by Disturbed dedicated to the first responders of Covid-19
MASTERPIECE!!! I thank God for each new day he gives me to listen again and give my soul a stirring!
You explained every word and emotion in this song. Thank you I subscribed to your channel today and glad I did. 🤗 ❤
Thanks for subbing!
The musicians are on one side of the river and the people with the music were on the other. They meet because music is the ultimate communicator
Simon and Garfunkel wrote this about electronics distracting people from interacting with each other directly. It was meant as a warning. Disturbed's version is anger at the warning not being heeded as we disconnect more and more from each other.
I love your reactions. This song is one you have to listen to first then you have to watch the video and listen the next time...It hits and carries you thru whole thing.
This song really started me on Cover Songs being done by different Genres' Artists, absolutely AMAZING when the stars align!!!
best video wonderfully sung by David
Davids Voice Slays
Seen over 30 reaction videos, you are the first on hearing/seeing the energy-spirit side of it, and the mist important one. Keep on glowing…💪🏽
LOVE Freddie Mercury and your mustache ❤️
Thanks Cathy.

There are other forces at work here - everything's gonna be all right.
I LOVE your review of this song. It may be my favorite song ever. The passion in all of it -singing, instruments, video- just blow me away every time. Thank you - a new subscriber ❤️
Such a great song; the 🎹 was hauntingly beautiful 🖤
Notice his eyes were closed until he says Vision, when his eye open wide and are very striking..
Absolutely genius!!!! I am so blown away! The goosebumps I get every single time I listen to this song! It is my favorite from years ago with Simon and Garfunkel, but David rocks it beyond!!!!
I find this video extremely moving. It starts so dark and post apocalyptic but ends sooooo much hope. Lone individuals traveling find each other then signs that there are others. When the groups see each other across the water…one with the instruments and the others with the words and music… then come together on an ark… it brings tears every time. David Draiman’s interpretation with his voice is unrivaled but he knocked it out of the park with the video as well.
We didn’t listen to the warnings. Too many worship the ‘neon gods’ that are tearing us apart and lead to destruction but if we will bring our gifts TOGETHER and share them, we can start again with hope.
I totally get it, the color of music, the warmth of his voice. It's all art!
The true power of music in its rawest form my friend. With over 760 million views I would hope that his voice reached all of them and that all the silenced voices can be heard. Great reaction bro. And one last thing this live version isnt a performance it is a moment.
I just love the visual at the end of the lyric "in the naked light I saw" when the dude turns his head. Just love it, don't ask why.
Very deep. This version affects people all over the world.
I have seen many reactions to this song. Yours was one of the BEST. I enjoyed your read on it.
Appreciate that Donny. Thank you.
Excellent review. The second you said the different instruments added another stroke of color, you GET IT. THANK YOU. This is the only "cover" that Paul Simon linked to on his social media. He also said that the song now belongs to David and Disturbed.
That is a mighty strong comment. Thank you John.
My boyfriend introduced me to this version, it's pretty cool and I really do like it. But you should listen to the original, it is a masterpiece.
great listening inn
HAP3SPEAKZ
Love Freddie!!! So glad I got to see him in person!!!! Such a showman. Best concert I ever went too!
Love this version of sound of silence ❤️
The absolute best reaction by far!!! 🥰
One of the best. Amazing.
This Cover is just freak'n magical, absolutely exceptional!!! I can understand the "Tribute Mustache," because you could definitely pass for a Freddie Mercury Look-a-like! Awesome stuff!
Out of all reactions I have seen you are the only one that really got it !!
I LOVE YOUR DESCRIPTIONS, the layers and the colors.....I totally get it. You got a new subscriber today ;).
Hi I just found you! I really appreciate your reaction to this video! It is so raw & genuine! Thank you! I will definitely follow!
He's screaming "Listen to me, listen to the world around u". Freedom of Speech!!! A whole lot of meaning in this song & the band & David was meant to own this. When God ask David if he wanted a voice of an angel or a voice of the devil, he simply said yes. My favorite of all time!!!!
the entrance of the guitar is on e of my favorite parts. Such a different timbre from the piano.
