David's voice is like dark chocolate, rich, smooth, velvety with a hint of a bitter kick. Stunning. If this doesn't touch your soul, you haven't got one.
THIS 💖🖤💖
Australian here.... this song is more relevant today then it has ever been. A stunning song that crosses generations.
Hunted
To me it is more then relevant today. I am 70 years old, born and raised in America. What we have here is a break down of our society. The people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made and the sign flashed out its warning. Wake up America.
Pretty relatable for a song that is over 50 years old. Paul Simon was a true visionary.
David Draiman....one of the best voices on the planet!!
If you suffer from anxiety or depression, I’d recommend ‘A Reason To Fight’ (official live video) from this band.
That song saved my life, not joking. Music can do wonders.
Fellow Brit living in Oregon here. Great reaction. Listen to the original too, by Simon and Garfunkel. Written in the 1960s, The message was that technology (TV then) was keeping people at a distance from each other and stopping effective communication. People were talking but not really saying anything, listening but not hearing. We do this even more today with cell phones, texting etc. David’s interpretation of it shows anger that we did not and still do not heed the original warning/message. This live version is especially phenomenal because he was really sick with the flu yet still put out this incredible performance.
Best song these past 5 years!! Unmatched!!
Hi I'm doing what you have already done cos I've read a few of your comments and cudos be to you cos you are 💯 spot on...have you listened to Angelina Jordan...I had never seen a music VR channel til one night Aug 14 a VR's clip rolled by and I saw in the top corner of a little girl (7 yo) and the expression on his face and a few words written on front of clip.. I didn't bother with it but a little later my curiosity got the better of me cos his expression was one you can't make up and all I wanted to do was to see why his look was one of shell shocked I was to find out and...(tryin to make this short) ...I didn't even know what the rabbit hole is...but... from the moment it was thru...I had plunged into the rabbit hole that has become a PALACE to me.. and not just 1 treasure Have I been given but 3...I am 67 and thus means nothing
This is a Simon and Garfunkel song. Back when they wrote it, it was a warning regarding how technology is pushing people away from each other. The “neon god” was referring to the tv. It began creating silence between people. Now disturb have covered it and it’s more like they’re pissed off that nobody listened to the original warning. David the singer was sick during this performance too.
Being 57 years old I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel and love what they did. Not often that I hear a "cover" of a classic that I think is as good or better than the original. This one is different and may be better. There was so much passion in it.
Jaxx T
I bought this album when it first came out. I am pretty sure it was called the Boxer. Now it has more meaning then ever before. Yes, pissed off??? I am 70 and very pissed off. And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made and the sign flashed out its warning. America, wake up .
@@Prozak63 absolutely there’s so much passion. I never got into the original. For me, the tone didn’t fit the meaning, whereas this does
@@stevevalk8898 not just America hun, here in the uk too.. and no doubt the rest of the world

What the world needs now is love sweet love. Petula Clark 1966 ?
Disturbed metal singer got a big stir stick into my heart and mind. But then, Simon and Garfunkel did a similar thing back in the days of my youth with this tune. Ain't life grand?
Nice! A two-fer!
i hear this song at least 10 times a day and have seen the video a million times and i still get emotional when i hear it.
I am 63 and either version gives me goose pimples. So cool to watch an entire generation listen to lyrics for the first time...and even tears... And they still get it all for free.
Florida this a Great song. Paul Simon said this is the best version of this song he has ever heard and added it to his play list.
Birmingham Alabama USA here! Love the videos especially the Benjamin Tod ones... Simon and Garfunkel are the original singers, this is a cover beautifully done
Watching from Asheville, NC, USA. Big Disturbed fan. This cover is legend. David's voice is from the heavens.
Paul Simon's genius lyrics and David Draiman's powerful voice! What a combination! And, yes the instrumentation is incredible. I don't know who actually did the arrangement, but it's smazing! So glad you liked it. Your analysis was great! So glad I found your channel!
David draiman can sing anything,his voice is incredible 💖👍🎶🔥🎸💖👍🎶🔥🎸💖👍🎶🔥🎸it's hard to believe,but he was real sick when performing this.David draiman has one of the best/unique/distinctive voices & is one of my favorites 🎶🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸
A reason to fight is also amazing song & one of my favorites, would love to see your reaction to that 👍👍
I've watched a video of David warming up before a concert. It was shortish but he sang Unchained Melody and it was incredible. This man singing solo can take a song that is best done with harmony and totally turn it around. So much respect for him.
I LOVE THIS SONG. THE WAY DAVID DRAIMAN SINGS IT. IT IS MUCH MORE MEANINGFUL AND MORE POWERFUL Than the original version. I am 62 years old and love much. DAVID DRAIMAN has a gift like no other. The world has been blessed with this beautiful song.. I am living in Alabama. Having grown up in DETROIT and outside DETROIT.
Disturbed does an original song called Hold On To Memories which is very special as well.
David Draiman is a voice to be reckoned with. Try some of Disturbed's other music " The Light, Hold on to Memories, A Reason to Fight, Down With the Sickness, and a cover of Sting's If I Ever Lose my Faith in You and lastly Through the Fire. " All these are powerful and have great back stories and all show the versatility in David's voice and with the band as well. God bless and stay safe.
Also prayer, stupify, the game and voices.. all are great
Brit living in Texas here, mate. Keep up the hard work, loving it!
This cover is epic. From Asheville, NC. David Draiman's voice is incomparable. Song is all about how technology is isolating us from each other. We no longer talk face to face. We don't listen to each other. We are all on our phones, our laptops, our PCs. These are the "neon gods" we bow down to.
Nicely done young man!!! You are spot on in your analysis of the words and in your natural reaction. Thank you for sharing.
Great reaction young man. Spot on! Keep your heart on your sleeve and keep moving forwards. Greetings from South Lincolnshire
Hattiesburg, MS, USA here, love the videos man keep em coming!
Wow great voice! I’ve been there with suiside attempt but therapy has helped a great deal. What helps me greatly now is family, music and keeping busy!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reactions. Spot on. I saw them live in concert a few years ago..breathtaking...🦋
Hell man, you seem to read my mind and its tortures.
So glad you get some help from it!
Florida. Great reaction. Love this version
great vid reaction! this performance is off the charts!! the song is sung by someone (David) who cares about what he's singing and why he's singing it...I've watched this video a bazillion times and each time I feel as if I'm seeing it for the very first time....goosebumps all over and eyes welling up.....captivating to say the least....keep on rockin' !
Washington State, USA.. really like your reactions, watch quite a few. Thank you for this, He is my favorite on this song cover. So powerful

My interpretation of this song revised:
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, 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 the
Light/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?
(I could sit and just listen to you speak for hours on end!)
Great review, thank you. Yes, people don't often talk about how music touches them, but this song by David and the band has so exploded that everyone is talking about it years after they did it and about how it STILL gives them goose bumps but they hesitate to go much deeper, which is kinda what the song is about... talking without speaking. Hmmm...
Thanks again for your review. From the Southern California desert in America, MK
The song has nothing to do with depression. Its more of a warning about the future of our society
Apple Valley, California. BTW, I think the official video is so much better...
Everyone hurts sometimes...it might help, and if not, it lets you know you aren't alone
You have to watch the official video though...mesmerizing!
The time we lose David's voice will definitely be an awful loss. I wish more more people would hear him. Just amazing. Even the metal music is great
Appreciate you appreciated the Lyrics, it goes without saying His Voice is like no other, but not many comment on the Words which brings such Power Both Remarkable
Kentucky USA. I love this version of Simon and Garfunkel's song. Very powerful rendition.
Southern Illinois!
St. Louis, Missouri here. This is one of my favorite covers and definitely my favorite version of this song . Another good cover you should check out is Chris Cornell live on SiriusXM Lithium covering the Prince tune "Nothing compares 2 U"
Hello from a fellow St. Louisan!
It is very powerful.

David was I'll during this performance and, yet, he sang the song beautifully. I would recommend also viewing their official video. The visuals are amazing.
Hi from Pennsylvania, USA.
Lexington, Kentucky💙
Brisbane Australia here
North Texas here. Since you loved the poetry of SOS so much I'd like to recommend another song that you might enjoy ... Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart by Chris Cornell.
Also, please do more Disturbed! David Draiman - the singer here - also writes some very deep and meaningful lyrics ... try Stricken for a great sample of original Disturbed. Thanks for the reaction!
Paul Simon wrote this in 1964. Prophetic.
Hey Oli 👋! It took me a while but I got back here in the end 😂. I love this rendition of this song, and how amazing is David Draiman with his live vocals?? Apparently he was sick that day but still managed to produce one of the best live performances ever. Also, Pentatonix have another amazing version of this song, I recommend you check it out now that you’ve seen this one. Many people have said in CZcams comments, and I agree, that when you listen to all three versions - that is to say, Simon & Garfunkel, then Disturbed, then Pentatonix - that it’s like S&G have sent out a warning. Disturbed is anger we didn’t heed that warning. Pentatonix is the hope after everything is over. Three very different versions of the song, and Paul Simon has even said that Disturbed’s version is the best he’s ever heard, including his own original one!
Edit: just fixed a grammatical error that was bugging me.
Best cover version
St.Louis, Mo!!!
Please play a reason to fight either the live version or the video both are incredibly moving!

He was very sick during this performance. Flu , high temp, sore throat, dizziness
Indiana, USA
Spartanburg SC, USA
Nice one! Listen to Simon and Garfunkel do it. Try out Alice In Chains- Them Bones is a good starting place. They are know for their dark songs with some very nice harmonies. The whole Dirt album is a masterpiece. I would stay away from the song Nutshell until you learn a little about the band.

I think if David became a general we (the awakened ones) would follow him into hell without hesitation! He is the voice of the people and I love him ❤
David is a classically trained Jewish Canto

this is regarding the Vietnam war
I think you would also like NF.
Well you would be absolutely correct. NF is one of my favourites!!
Not far m8 Manchester, when he did this show he was really ill with flu they weren’t sure if he would get though it, they also did auto tune at one bit he was upset about it
Colorado USA here, Thank you for sharing your reactions. Maybe check out the group pentatonix version if you have not already.
There’s a video that will really give you a visual, check it out if you have time, you won’t be sorry
Think Passengers version is the best I have heard. This is to polished. Watching from Norway.
Video is better
That's not at all what this song is about.. This is a song written by Simon & Garfunkel back in the 60's, Disturbed did a cover, and I must say THE BEST EVER COVER SONG IN HISTORY!! But, this song is about people not communicating because of technology, everyone has their faces buried in their phones and not listening to the real problems in this world and not speaking up about it either... Everyone turns a blind eye and ear to EVERYTHING while the world we live in goes to shit! At this rate, we won't be around to much longer..
2:18 Yeh you want silence, but sometimes you don't get that option from maybe one individual or the whole world (because you are stuck.) And you are like "Please GOD can't I just get some silence here from that someone!" And it can eventually become extremely irritating (and you might want to literally scream and pull your hair out.) Mainly because nobody will listen. Like he said...listening but not really grasping on what is being said! But in actuality what I think he is really singing about is a broader spectrum. Which is think is the whole world being in silence. So you don't have to care or deal with anymore of the BS! Can't we just get along with silence without violence? Like wars and such! Well that is my opinion.
You might have more success with the country songs reacting to the video's and not live performances.
