This song, IMO, is about the breakdown of interpersonal communication in the light of new technology, the "neon god" we made being, I think, television. It has been said that Simon & Garfunkel's original was a warning, and that Disturb's cover is the anger that the warning was ignored.
Nailed it!
That’s it!
perfect comment, says it all
Brilliant 👌🏼
It has been said that Simon & Garfunkel's original was a warning, and that Disturb's cover is the anger that the warning was ignored. Paul Simon the original song writer of the song said that
David Draiman....one of the best male vocalists on the planet imho.....awesome!
Paul Simon is a poet. Like Whitney Houston doing a Dolly cover, Angelina Jordan doing Suspicious Minds, this Simon and Garfunkel cover becomes David's in a way it was not theirs.
That final high note, where he just goes /completely/ pure on 'sound', then the beat where everything stops... Forget wine glasses, that note shatters /souls/ *
The song is about communication. We may have all this technology to better communicate with each other (t.v., social media, computers, e-mail, etc)… but we’re not communicating with each other (the people around you, your neighbors, the guy at the grocery store, we have our heads in our digital devices and not looking straight forward or around us).
Simon and Garfunkel ❤mad respect for the lyrics but David gives the emotional energy and understanding of this profound song
David Draiman, the singer, had the flu when they did this appearance.
Here you have the meaning directly from the songwriter's mouth:
“One of the biggest hang-ups we have today is the inability of people to communicate, not only on an intellectual level, but on an emotional level as well. So you have people unable to touch other people, unable to love other people. This is a song about the inability to communicate. It’s called, “The Sound of Silence”. - Paul Simon 1966
You can see/hear him say this before they begin their performance here:

Paul Simon was only 21 when he wrote this song. Timeless classic artistic achievement. He sent David Draiman a message of appreciation after this performance, which was decades after it was first recorded. This song was a huge worldwide hit then as it is now. Paul Simon is truly one of the best songwriters who ever lived.
Bro,it's a song writin 50 years before this.And it still rings true.
I wish I could speak to someone, to give my perspective on this song. I feel this one in my soul.
Justice with GRACE OF ANOTHER ARTISTS MESSAGE
For me it is mans disconnect with man.
David is a classically trained Jewish Cantor. He was also very sick during this performance.
Love your channel. It is enlightening to see a songwriters first reaction to a song which accompanied us through our younger years. (Paul) Simon & Garfunkel wrote this great song but David Draiman performed it and ownded it.
Please react to DISTURBED'S... PRAYER, STRICKEN and THE LIGHT ... powerful lyrics
I was shooting photos of a Disturbed show & they performed this song at one of their shows and it was amazing. They put on a great show.
Thanks for reacting to this song. It's such a deep beautiful song. I heared it hundred times
He takes this version to new heights.excellent❤❤❤❤😊😊
If someone answers you honestly after you ask them how they are, like we do daily, if they dont say “fine and/or good”, YOU own it. And most are not able to handle that answer. So we just continue on with our day hoping everything works out ok for that person. But even just caring enough to ask and making eye contact is a start.
You get it. You really get it. Thank you.
Paul Simon is a gifted and powerful song writer. David Draimon is a powerful communicator with his voice
The original Simon and Garfunkel version of this song was released I believe in 1964. I do love this version a little bit more though. Great song, great reaction, keep up the good work! I believe it was written by Paul Simon.
Paul Simon liked this version a lot as well.
Too day "orange god" we made !!!?!!!
Hard to believe Paul Simon was 21 when he wrote this song back in 1963.
"The words of the prophet are written on the subway walls and tenement halls." That's where the working class...the real people are. So if you want to hear the words of the prophet, listen to what the everyday working stiffs are saying. My interpretation and worth every dime you paid for it.
David Draiman made one lyric change from the original version, although I don't know if it was intentional or not. "And the sign flashed out its warning" was changed to "And the sign LASHED out its warning." It's a subtle yet powerful change, and one that fits so well with this version of the song.
I think people using Cell phones is like talking without speaking, People speaking without listening!!!
I would love to see this guy react to Billy Strings. He is known for his skills as a musician (as he should be) but I think he would also appreciate the storytelling/lyrics … songs like Watch It Fall, Home, Wargasm, or Turmoil and Tinfoil. It’s almost like you have to listen a few times … once or twice to wrap your mind around the musical skill (live performances hit hard) and then the lyrics start to sink in and it hits even harder.
I love your passion man! .. I believe you are a true empath ♥️ .. When you do listen to it all the way through without any pauses it'll grab your heart even more
This is one of my top three covers of all time 🖤 David took a good folk song and made it his own 🔥
The other two are Bad Wolves cover of Zombie by the Cranberries, and Postmodern Jukebox/Hailey Reinhardt cover of Radioheads Creep. There’s a couple more too but I can’t think of them right now lol
Carrie this is my TOP COVER! Curious to know what are the other two of your favs. Mine is Jamey Johnson covering Lynyrd Skynyrd ‘s Four Wall of Raiford. The last one I can fill with 20 different ones but Love Hurts by Nazareth comes to mind
Daniel Mustard's cover of Creep is insanely good.
The word you’re looking for is inauthentic
You nailed it! Relating to work. No one cares. They casually ask how's it's going.. just a phrase. You get the same response..going great! Going bad...
This version is amazing but let’s make sure we know that the lyrics were written by Simon and Garfunkel
Nice to see someone get the meanings of the lyrics. Well done
But this is possibly the best cover of all times! :)
You used the job scenario but when I listen to this song I immediately think of todays society. We as a people are just bombarded with so many voices and technology. People are speaking some listen some don't. And so many don't really care to hear what others have to say or feel or the opinions that they have. Social views, political views, moral views. We are so divided. And its so sad. I feel like until we as a people no matter what your race, political views or moral views are.. until we can come together as just people of the human race can listen to each other, consider one another, admit that while i might be right about some things I may also be wrong about some things. That all of us have value and worth and can move our society onward. But as long as we stay so divided or out of fear stay silent I just don't see anything ever improving. I feel so sad for the next generation growing up in such a confusing and angry time such as we find ourselves in today.
Texting with out speaking People hearing what’s going on but not listening.
My roommate says I hear you and I say listen to me.
It still baffles me that those words were written almost 60 years ago,talk about prophets
You nailed it, little bro. Great perceptive reaction to this 1960s classic.
Yes indeed people speaking but never saying anything sadly it's done often
Excellent reaction
The Lord is sending a very Powerful message to all of us in the words of this song...& Davids voice brings out Gods anger with so much feeling.... I shiver & cry when I hear this song...David sings from his soul.... Beautiful.........
Great song ❤❤❤❤😊😊
I just found your channel, love your review of the oldies. I’m an avid fan of The Bee Gees. I’d love to hear you review one of their other hits “TRAGEDY”. I don’t see that you’ve already reviewed.
Wow! I wish you had a better copy of this performance because you certainly are missing out. Paul Simon wrote this song in 1963. David Draiman of Disturbed completely owns this performance. He goes strait to your soul. This song about the failure to communicate.
Grew up hearing this song from Simon and Garfunkel in the 60's and the original is nothing like this cover by Disturbed and this is one of my favorites. The other favorite I have, is this song cover by Pentatonix, which too, is fabulous. Might want to have a listen to their cover as well: czcams.com/video/gdVjVtpr55M/video.html. Cheers, be well.
Love Art and Garfunkel this is a beautiful cover the lyrics are beautiful
Thank you Naia🌷🇳🇱
what I'm hearing is you're not aware of the original... took you till this version to hear them...
Paul Simon said David Draiman owns this song.
My dude, if you’re looking for incredible lyricism and songwriting you gotta check out right in two by tool. All around incredible. Have the lyrics handy, it’ll blow you away
A Paul SIMON ´s song
A lacking connectivity
Have you listened to the original by Simon & Garfunkel yet? It's so so different from this version. Same words, same tune, but OMG is it different. The original was released in 1966, so it's quite an old song. I would love you to react to that version too. ❤🎵🎼
People listen to respond....no one listens to understand anymore
Any merit to David’s vocals ?…😳
yes there is a lot of blabla in the world like the question is everything good I just say yes everything is a lot,but a lot is good
Paul Simon wrote this song at the back end of the 60s . This is a cover
Song writer? And you don't know one of the most beautiful songs written? Decades ago bro
My sentiments exactly !
Excuse me...but is this REALLY the first time you have heard this lyrics??? It was written trough 1963.64 or something by Paul Simon!!!!
The bible teach in Revelation about the beast from the sea,the beast from the land and the beast coming up from the underground,666,one six for the alien beasts from the sea,one 6 for the alien beasts from the land and one 6 for the aliens coming up from the underground,or volcanoes or caves.Revelation say people will make a image of the beast from the sea then the beast from the land will give a spirit to this image humans have made.Compare this image with the warning words in this song,The sound of silence especially where we are warned about people making a neon God and bowing before it.So we are warned,Revelation is coming true,be warned and seek the God of the Bible like never before,this song was inspired by a ghost and a vision was inplanted inside him while he was sleeping.Darkness is his friend because he have this halo of protection and lamp of the streetlight protecting him and making it possible to really see.He is speaking about the warnings of the prophets,writings on subway walls and in tenement halls,yes,informal warning,where everyone can see,for the everyman and women,available for everyone,the rich and poor.So listen to this prophetic warning,both in the song,Revelation and my explanation,maybe I am also a prophet.
I didn't like your reaction! You only discussed the lyrics as if we were at a literary reading and noticed NOTHING else. Don't react to songs anymore! Subscribe to literary channels! :(
