I first heard Disturbed's cover of this during Standing Rock in 2016. #NoDapl. There are two videos of what atrocities happened to the water protectors in Standing Rock with this version played over them. Talk about sobbing.
I have watched at least 200 critiques of this video and this reviewer captured it entirely. Overcome with emotion and completely genuine. This video is genius.
@@Hawksmere Believe me, you can hear it literally hundreds of times and it will never get boring. I did since release. I have always been a huge Disturbed fan and i might have listened to "Down with the Sickness" much more often. But "Sound of Silence" is something special.
Notice the arch of musicians crossing the river to reach the people on shore with sheet music. They need each other to end the silence! Music is the universal language of the world.
I love reactions to this. Your's is wonderful! David Draiman makes you "FEEL" the power and passion. Simon and Garfunkel wrote and recorded this in 1964 as a Folk Song. When Disturbed did the cover, Paul Simon told them it was their song now and posted the video on their websites. The 1964 song was a warning. This (2015) version is the Anger of not heeding the warning.
TBH i agree! I have heard this 6 times today alone and it's got me hooked. Please remember that is only my initial rating score...Totally appreciate that people rate different music differently :)
you need to go and listen to the original by Simon and Garfunkel (bit before your time) and listen to the original. One more singer who is becming very popular now is Morisette Amon, listen to her Never Enough (on the Wishbus), then her Defying Gravity and Ain't been Done (a Jessie J cover)
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?
Great reaction to a now classic cover. In one song Disturbed and David Draiman flipped the bird to everyone out there who considered Metal bands second rate musicians, and singers. After this song, if you haven't seen them, my next two react suggestions would be: Dimash: SOS ( I am a Singer or Slavic Bazaar, live videos) There is a reason many consider this guy the best singer in the world, now. Marcelito Pomoy: The Prayer, on Wish. An amazing, and unique talent. Both are shocking and unexpected performances the first time that you see them. Maybe some vintage pop? The Carpenters: We've Only Just Begun Bee Gees: Staying Alive (It could just be me, but one thing that I noticed was that your voice and music levels seem mismatched. I found that I had to turn the volume up for commentary and down for the music)
You really need to listen to Disturbs live version on the Conan show of sound of silence absolutely incredible. It is even more powerful than the video version.
Hi top of the day to you...in 2 months I've listened to countless reactions to this since I discovered them in the rabbit hole (my Palace) of Angelina Jordan who is the GOAT (greatest of all time)...it was the 3rd
Sound of Silence was written in the 60's by Paul Simon. Simon &Garfunkel sang it in the 60's. Disturber did this cover of the song. Much better than the original.
If you found this to be shocking, as I did, you're really going to be shocked when you go hunting for more songs by Disturbed! There are a few 'ballad' type songs, but most are heavy metal, which I loved as well. The entire band is EXTREMELY talented! I hope you enjoy your journey. I've liked and subscribed. I hope you are adventurous and enjoy a variety of music! Would love to see your reactions to a powerful American/Korean solo artist named Ailee singing a live cover of ballad: 'Everyone', link provided: czcams.com/video/TzvWja2Jxe8/video.html or French solo artist named Christophe Mae singing upbeat pop: 'Resiste' : czcams.com/video/cgzjGD1_3Gw/video.html
I just subscribed to you, because of your reaction. If you want to hear what you thought you would be hearing listen to Disturbed 'Down with the Sickness'
Hi! New subscriber here! Absolutely loved your reaction! Another amazing cover is Zombie by Bad Wolves. You'll need to watch the original video by the Cranberries first so you'll understand the cover video.
If you really want to build up your channel check out some Angelina Jordan.. her fans will follow I promise! A good one to start with is I Put A Spell On You. She was like 8 maybe 9 years old. Mind Blowing.
An other life changing performance for you - ''Grace'' from Jeff Buckley (studio version please) and another ''Hurt'' by Johnny Cash (which is a cover from Nine Inch Nails). Those 2 songs should leave you just as engaged and ''shaken'' as this beautiful song cover by Disturbed. NOW for a real shocker : Jinjer Pisces live session... This will knock your socks off guaranteed. You will be shocked at first as over 60,000,000 people were but if you give it a chance and keep an opened mind... That girl is a power and a talent that just can't be denied. A force of nature. Please continue on your journey!!!!!
Hi mate ! Awesome singer ! If you want to see another one try floor jansen lead singer for nightwish ! Ghost love score live at wacken 2013 ! It will blow you away 👍
I knew it would blow your socks off. I was surprised you only gave it a 87. Lol. Another great voice you might try is Chris Cornell doing a Prince cover of Nothing compares to you in the Sirius studio.
I knew Disturbed a little before this. So I avoided listening to this song for a long time. Thought they would take this classic and do it in their style. Boy was I wrong. David is wasting so much talent with the stuff Disturbed is doing in general.
@@chriscummings6997 so 'god' blessed 1 man with a cool voice while cursing 99.9999% of humanity with the voice of dying cats? Sounds like a loving god.
Listen to it once, listen to it 1,000 times and you'll always feel the same - almost overcome by this man's beautiful and powerful voice.
David Draiman is one of the best singers out there. He was trained as a cantor, he also has classical training, Stunning versatility.
I first heard Disturbed's cover of this during Standing Rock in 2016. #NoDapl. There are two videos of what atrocities happened to the water protectors in Standing Rock with this version played over them. Talk about sobbing.
I have watched at least 200 critiques of this video and this reviewer captured it entirely. Overcome with emotion and completely genuine. This video is genius.
I don't really like Metal but David's voice is so beautiful that I can listen to Disturbed's regular Metal music.
Reactor - I thought he was going to do something heavier ...
Watchers - Wait for it.
Reactor - *eyes wide*
Watchers - Yep, that'll do it!
So true!! Got me. I heard it again first thing this morning. I’m in love with this song right now
Very hard not to be. Now try the live version on Conan. The man was sick, dropped the key and still wrung the hell out of it.
Try down with the sickness awesome track 👍👍🐈🇬🇧🇬🇧

David Draiman....this man can SING!!! Vocals like no other!!!
Davids Voice Brings Down The House
That was a very appropriate “Wow!” In the beginning. And it only gets even more “wow” as the song progresses. Wow is right!!
Personally I'd give it 110%, but there you go. Great reaction. You can really see just how much it affected you, as it affects pretty much all of us.
Speechless is the best way to describe my first reaction to this American classic! Intense would be the other! Happy holidays brother 🌎❤️🌎

Wait for it wait for it.................... And there it is
87% waaay low, there is also a live version on the Conan TV show that is worth reacting to

@@Hawksmere I have listened to this hundreds and hundreds of times and it honestly gets better the more you listen
David was sick when he did Conan
I very much enjoyed your reaction!

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

"...flipped the bird... second rate musicians." Honestly, eloquently put!
You certainly need to checkout more of Disturbed's songs! This singer David Draiman is so amazing; his talent will blow you away!
The best reactionist reviewers do not interupt during the video. They review after it is over. And the best of the best, do not pre-watch...
Excellent !!!!! Lov tis , love them.
Simon & Garfunkel original song..this guy is very deep
You really need to listen to Disturbs live version on the Conan show of sound of silence absolutely incredible. It is even more powerful than the video version.
Nicely done young man. Your reaction is typical and wonderful!
Hi top of the day to you...in 2 months I've listened to countless reactions to this since I discovered them in the rabbit hole (my Palace) of Angelina Jordan who is the GOAT (greatest of all time)...it was the 3rd
This is an amazing cover.
Wait for it....wait for it.... Ahhhhhh.... There it is!
You should listen to the live version or he's on Conan sick with a cold and he still sounds amazing
Great reaction!

Check out Hurt w/Johnny Cash the music video. It’s a cover from Nine inch Nails. Hella deep 🥰

Nice reaction. Real bad ass cover.
Masterpiece
A song suggestion for you: Nights In White Satin by a band called The Moody Blues. Very nice song.
Voice on loan from God... great reaction I kept seeing you try to reach and pause but the music and the voice will not let you... great job
Time to ascend to the Conan live version.
Get ready for a religious experience! Moves me to my very soul!
Simply put, it's a thing of beauty!

I knew Disturbed a little before this. So I avoided listening to this song for a long time. Thought they would take this classic and do it in their style. Boy was I wrong. David is wasting so much talent with the stuff Disturbed is doing in general.
Ease up a bit.
Good reaction, brother. A voice on loan from God himself!
assuming god exists and assuming that god's a dude and assuming what that dude's voice sounds like, ya.
@@zenon3021 LOL!! Where else would that voice come from?
@@chriscummings6997 so 'god' blessed 1 man with a cool voice while cursing 99.9999% of humanity with the voice of dying cats? Sounds like a loving god.
