    Lyrics - Sound of Silence:
    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
    In restless dreams I walked alone
    Narrow streets of cobblestone
    'Neath the halo of a street lamp
    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
    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 shared
    And no one dared disturb the sound of silence
    "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
    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 sound of silence"

    David Draiman, and many metal singers, have years and years of training to do distortion well and without harming your voice. Henk sings opera. In honour of Floor's love for metal, he sang the Disturbed version and attempted distortion of the first time in his life (with two hours of practising!). Which is a big thing to try and though he is no David, he did wonderfully on conveying the same emotions that David did. Just imagine what Henk could do if he had had those years of training! You can have a preference but you cannot go about thrashing this man in the comments because he is 'not a metal singer and should never try'. Then you have missed the point of this show and the point of music in general.

    @giacomobergonzi4906 Před 3 lety +474

    He did this after TWO HOURS OF PRACTICING singing with distortion in his entire life. And as an opera singer that means doing the opposite of what he's been doing all life long, always seeking the purest and cleanest notes. And yeah you can definitely hear that, in how his voice becomes suddenly warm and smooth in some moments. This is incredible.

      You read my mind. I was very critical when I saw this show when it first aired. Upon rewatching it, I give this man all the respect and honor he deserves. Although the Simon and Garfunkel version would have served his vocals better, the fact that he put distortion in his voice and still managed to hit every.
      Single. Note. Well, I have tears in my eyes and knots in my guts.

    Well, he didnt have to be nervous one bit, omg!! did he nail it...
    It starts with the low rumble of the earth moving, goes into the grass, rustling, the trees moving in the wind, up into a clear blue sky, and then a storm comes, only to be broken open at the end of the song, letting the sunshine back into the world.

But he did it anyay. He expended his horizon. Classic music can be great but it still shows how closed that world is if they can't respect anything else than their own kind of music and never try something different to expand the posibilities.

      Metal was normal on the radio in the 90's and the early zero's on Dutch radio. Only the last 10/15 years it has vanished from the radio. The Gathering and Within Temptation already had top40 hits as Dutch acts, besides the well known artists like Metallica, Limp Bizzkit, Korn and the likes. So you could only say that she might be an influence on the return of metal in pop culture.

    I was really impressed with Disturbed rendition of this awesome poetry.
    This man's voice is just like a roll of thunder !
    Absolutely amazing gift God granted him !

    You can see Floors admiration everytime the camera is on her face. She looks at him like a teenaged girl looks at her celebrity crush. So sweet. =)

    Well done old man. Goose bumps. Never thought I would hear anyone sing it as well as David Draiman. Why have I never heard of Hank Poort? He rocks.
