This song was written by Paul Simon in the 60's & originally sung by Simon & Garfunkel. Paul Simon loved this version.
As a kid, this was just another hit by Simon and Garfunkel, but it turns out the Simon wrote prophetic lyrics that mean even more as time passed. Disturbed, with the darker delivery, took it to a whole new level. Even Paul Simon says it is now their song. As a guy in my sixties, I remember no computers, no cell phone, playing outside, and actual conversations. I miss gatherings that required interaction instead of sitting in rooms silently as each person stares at their phones - that is lonelier than bring alone. I drove 3 hours for Xmas dinner with good friends - silence was deafening. I left after dinner, as their phones seemed more important than our time together . For me, a wasted visit and likely an end of a 40 year tradition on the 24th. I could have visited people who appreciated time with a human, as I did for the next two days.
@JohnPaul-hm2ys : I will be 60 years old in a week and I have to agree with you 1000%. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen this on social settings whether it be in a restaurant or a persons home. It’s become the norm for kids and gone are the times where kids used to be outdoors riding bikes or skateboards, playing football in the streets or playgrounds. When we were indoors it was listening to the am/fm radio. Or playing board games. Visiting grandparents were about sitting at the table eating grandma’s cooking. So sad none of these kids nowadays will ever feel like this.
Now my honest take on all fairness.
I do believe our childhood lifestyle was as I described it, but if I had to guess what it would be like in our days of we had todays technology back then then we might be looking at the exact same thing as what goes on today. But we will never know.
@@yotaman2112 well said.
I was born the year before this came out. And you are right, we grew up in a different world, a different time. What have we become? All I know is that I don't feel apart of it. Nor do I want to be. I have no family, no friends and don't want any. They are all of this world and I reject it all. Hope you find what you are looking for. Peace...
@roger5322 The best we can do is practice some tolerance without losing our own selves. I speak my peace freely, try to be a good human being, and live my own truth. There are a lot of people like us in this changing world, and I have noticed a few young kids are beginning to reject the norms - a trend I can stand behind. Step one - an upsurge in book reading instead of computer time.
@@JohnPaul-hm2ys I hear what you are saying and you are right.....for you. I, on the other hand am what I am. I've never had much tolerance for stupid shit. And I have always had a problem biting my tongue when I'm in the right. and that has cost me dearly. but knowing what I know now I'd do it again. I think I am a good human but don't try to do wrong by me because I don't get even...I'll get a head. you slap me I'll knock your teeth out. Treat me good and you'll find a friend that would take a bullet for you. Lie to me and I will never give you the time of day again. Yes they are a few of us " old souls" out there but our days are numbered and our traditions and beliefs are falling on deaf ears. So be it. They will reap what they sow. As far as computers go they are not the problem. Computers are like libraries that contain information. The problem is social media and the fake world it creates. And I've had it with this world. I spent my life looking for love. Thought I'd found it several times only to be blindsided by reality time after time after time after time after time. Now I accept the fact...I was made to love but not to be loved. That I came to accept after I ended a 10 year relationship with the woman that I still love with all my heart and soul, but could never take her back. I left her 14 years ago and have not even dated since. my family has stabbed me in the back. My sister took advantage of my father and got him to leave her everything. I've helped him build what he has for 40 years thinking that when he passes it would be mine. She took what was to be here and what was supposed to go to me. Now I'm out $500,000 and when Dad dies I'll be living on the streets. Right now I live with him and care for him because he has dementia and is blind. And my sister doesn't want anything to do with dad now that she has everything that he owns. Women are evil. I look forward to death,...
I love the quote "Simon and Garfunkel's version was the warning, Disturbed's version is the rage that the warning was not heeded."
You forgot the last one....Pentatonix version gives us hope
Link please?
Totally agree @jayzfranks83181
Geoff castellucci's version is the sadness czcams.com/video/lyekSI_4Qlc/video.htmlsi=oWNd4md3ZbAK7N_i
Yes exactly
You are one of the very few reaction people who got what the song was about. You hit the nail on the head, excellent dude.
I've learned that David Draiman and Disturbed address depression, addiction and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the most popular, loved bands of our time! ❤❤❤😊
Absolutely spot on it was a song about how people lost the ability to meaningfully communicate, sadly this trend hes worsened over time.... Love how the tune was built through the first versus. And to think this was written before most people watching/listening to this were even born. Originally Paul Simon wrote this in 1963.
This song is so deep and you feel the lyrics
The lead singer David Draiman was trained as a cantor when he was younger, that is the resonance you can feel in his vocals.
Dude I’ve never thought about it in that way I think you hit the nail on the head
When Paul heard their version he said it is no longer my song its Disturbed song now man that says it all. David sings it like he wrote it this is the best cover of a classic that I have ever seen the video and production are unreal hats off to everyone involved 🙂
When Paul Simon wrote this song in 1964 it was the story of a dream he had. It was more of a beautiful folk song that people loved. Disturbed brought the song to current times with haunting beautiful vocals and it makes people think about every word, which you did an awesome interpretation. Disturbed made this song their own and Paul Simon loves this version. Amazing that a song written so long ago is totally relevant today! This was one of my favorite reactions to this song even though it seems you didn't realize it was a cover, at least you didn't mention that fact. Good job!
From what I found the song didn’t really do well when it originally when Paul released it. At least that’s what I’ve found so far on the internet so far so could be somewhat inaccurate
Excellent reaction! Thank You for making an old womans day. God Bless❤
If you enjoyed this version, David Draimon of Disturbed also did performance on The Conan O'Brien Show which was widely seen and he did it while he was sick! Thank you for both your reaction and your service! Best for 2024 from #BuffaloNY If you like reimagines of songs, try Bad Wolves version of The Cranberries hit Zombie. It gets you in the feels.
My youngest daughter whose going to be 9 loves both versions of Zombie. She headbands her head to both.
Another good song from Distrubed is The Light. I love the lyrics. The meaning of them are wonderful.
It was written by Paul Simon in the 60's as a warning of a breakdown of interpersonal communications. This cover feels like the angercover that warning going unheeded.
Your facial reactions say it all !!! This is an amazing cover of a brilliant song, 1st done by Simon & Garfunkel warning us, if we don't change our ways we are headed for destruction, and Disturbs version is angry, because we didn’t listen to the warnings... 😌 I always feel this song is like a rollercoaster ride, slowly brings you to the top, then crashing to the bottom.....Great reaction!!!
The emotion inputs in to this version matches matches the events of that time period😢 It is just wow! Yes they are a metal band
Best version ever, David is excellent.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
It is a cover song that took the original and made it an emotional experience. An experience that reaches the soul.
Paul Simon is/was a genius. That a piece of music written over 60 years ago would still be relevant in todays world shows that the 20 something kid was so far ahead of his time. David Draiman interprets the music perfectly, building crescendo and intensity until the final note. Bravo!
This song has so many different meanings... When schools, especially public schools from kindergarten through high school, run out of funding, the first programs they cut ✂️ are the art's, music, theater, etc. Also, ISOLATION, DIVISION, LONELINESS, NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS OR EXPRESSING OURSELVES AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. We no longer interact face to face with each other, but through technology, social media on our cell phones and computers. I could go on and on. 😢
I love this song SO much! I also love their song called "A reason to fight" (especially their "official live" video!) and "Memories"... I feel like you'd resonate with those songs deeply as well! I loved watching and hearing your reaction! It's nice to see other's point of view on songs! Sometimes it takes hearing someone else's point of view to gain a new respect and meaning behind a song!
Wow! David is amazing guy.
He's in his nightmare in his head. He finds deep clarity crystal clear its bigger than himself.
You immediately got it. A dream was your interpretation. That is so close to the reality of what was happening to Paul Simon when he wrote the song. From the tale it was as if he was in a trance. It was 1963 (I was 7 yrs old) two weeks after JFK was assassinated. Paul was in the dark on the floor of his bathroom when he wrote hello darkness my old friend…. And in the naked light I saw. The neon light here was like you said…communications.. technology…nowadays in country music neon light means a dive bar or the such. This song was not received well in its time. People felt like Simon and Garfunkel were preaching to them. And here David drama is version (he was a cantor in the temple) he preaches this prophecy like a black Pentecostal preacher. I appreciate your interpretation and you catching what it was right away.. right at the start. A dream was very close when you heard the first few words. Many listeners nincluding voice coaches don’t interpret the song and I feel sorry for them that they only hear and see an emotional song. These are the deepest lyrics I’ve ever heard and simons best composition.
Ty for this Disturbed is an amazing group you should react to don't tell me with Disturbed and Ann Wilson
You were spot on, my friend 🇬🇧😅
100% on point ,it is shocking how the power of this song and the message are acknowledged by most of us yet and I quote "but my words like silent raindrops fell"Simon and Garfunkel tried in 1964 and David made it impossible not to hear the sound of silence for any generation today....me personally I dont have amessage with the words powerful enough or idea that would encourage people to stop and try ,realy try to look through the trees and see the forest .I promise anyone ,the forest is there.at the risk of appearing to give up which I wont do on the people I care for that I hold close including humanity, I suggest ride it out at a distance
Easily one of my favorite remakes of any song
The original was done by Simon n Garfunkal. I don't remember the year. But it's an oldie. maybe late 60's
I love this version of ' the sound of silence'. I wish for the time of the home phone. People think you are obligated to answer your cell phone. Nay I say. Not me, if I'm being present doing something leave a message. Have a blessed New Year.
I see technology as just another language that is currently a barrier, but one we can overcome just as humans have overcome other language barriers, but we have to work at it. It requires effort and desire. Look at the community and interaction that CAN occur on even this platform, with people across the world from us. It is a barrier, but it can also be a conduit, if we make an effort for it to be so.
This song was written by Paul Simon and sung/released by Simon and Garfunkel in 1964! Their version is awesome, much more calm. Disturbed's version is awesome and much more powerful. You dissected the lyrics and you are so right about how technology has turned the younger generations into not so nice humans. When you go into a restaurant and there is a young couple sitting at a table and they both have their phones in front of their faces and not looking and talking to each other, that is sad. When you see a group of kids hanging out, each one with their phones in front of their faces instead of them talking, laughing, joking with each other that is horrible.
Loved how you got the message of the song, originally written in the 60's, it's more true today than ever. Simon and Garfunkel were an amazing duo and Simon was a genius writer. Totally different in presentation than this, but also worth a listen. They performed before live, no official music videos back in those days, but I'm sure you can find a live performance on CZcams.
Love the reaction!
Just want to say thank you
I have seen hundreds (yes...hundreds) of reactions and interpretations of this video. While you really didn't mention much about the AMAZING vocals...I feel like YOU got the meaning of every word Paul Simon wrote...in the sixties no less! I was a pop song I heard growing up. The melody and harmonizing with Art Garfunkel swam in my brain nicely. However, the visuals along with the deep passion and storytelling of David Draimon gave me tears. Now that I am more mature, it touched my heart deep inside. What a prophecy! More relevant today than ever before. I am not a big fan of "Disturbed" simply because super heavy metal is not my cup of tea. But...wow! 😮 WOW ! The entire arrangement and the very timbre of his voice and even the voice frying was highly appropriate, masterfully done. I have grown a better appreciation for the type of music Disturbed performs. Perhaps I need to listen to more of it. I will have to read the lyrics to bands who seem to "shout" the words instead of singing them. My mind has been opened...and I am deeply grateful to have experienced this whole entire production! ❤
I still have the original first vinyl of Simon and Garfunkel with this song. I discovered Disturbed’s version in 2020 as COVID was shutting everything down. I’m now a huge Disturbed fan, heavy metal or non metal songs of theirs. They just released a new album and the video of their hit single on it Don’t Tell Me on the break up of Draiman’s marriage. He got Ann Wilson of Heart to duet with him in the song. It’s incredible!
Hope you had a great Christmas! Loved your reaction. If you really want to blow your mind, Simon and Garfunkel recorded this back in 1964. 🙂
I love this song not only because of the music video or his voice it's also the fact that there is history, Dark history of the 1960s in the lyrics Originally made by Simon and Garfunkel
Loved your reaction. I agree with you wholeheartedly; and this song was written in 60's. Another feeling I got was the neon god as if becoming self aware sounds very much like AI. However I agree we lack presence in the majority of our interactions on a daily basis, and this will have people move into virtual paranoia with interactions. This is a dehumanizing road they had us on but no more. My friend the shit is about to hit the fan.
dude! ... your reaction is one of my favorites .. you totally get it! 🔥
next do the "live" version of Conan O'Brien show .. !
I actually like your first thoughts...nice reaction. New sub
great read, I agree we as a people need to put the cell phones down and just talk
I’m 80 yrs old and listened to it during the chaos of the Viet Nam War. Believe me when I say that nobody was listening then either and people were dying. It’s still the same now. But now it may be too late. Hope not.
Where have you been? This came out in , I believe, 2016/2018. No excuse! Don't try to figure it out.
Glad you got around to it!
It's been described this way.
Simon and Garfunkel's original was the warning.
Disrubed's cover is the anger that the warning wasn't heeded.
The live version on the Conan show is believe it or not better than the studio version.
I've seen them live it was a banging concert.
I highly recommend their songs
The Light and A Reason to Fight.
I believe you will very much relate to them much in the same way that I do.
Great review. Like the brake down, the song is so true. Call a business all you get are robots NO people. A.I will destroy us, so sad.
I first heard as a dedication to the vets during the grief period for my brothers military funeral. Check that version out.
excellent reaction!
Thank you!
Bro!!! Fan from Brazil, listen Five Fingers Death Punch!!!!!!
You have to remember that this song was written in the 60s. Paul Simon said it was a warning and David's cover expresses the rage that the warning was ignored.
Paul Simon's lyrics and Simon & Garfunkel 's original version of this song were a folky warning to the listening public. After decades of people ignoring the genius warning Simon wrote, Disturbed composed an epic and poignant cover. Disturbed used the diverse acumen of Draiman's voice, along with their symphonic composition to pelt the emotions of the listeners with the urgency of the lyrical message. The crescendo of the instrumentation used, in cadence with the ferocity applied by Draiman's vocals, really drives the meaning and its urgency into the senses of the listener. Disturbed has lent their name to the reaction people should get by their experiencing this masterful evolution of a genius tenet. We SHOULD BE DISTURBED by our inability to break the longstanding patterns of poor communication we have allowed ourselves to get away with. This lack of
... (sorry. Thumb slipped and sent comment before I finished.)
.. This back of urgency in partaking of richer and more comprehensive communication has left us as our own victims. We don't get what our society needs because we don't know how to ask and compromise for things effectively. We are tethered to technology, and as so allow ourselves to become the pawns of its programmers. We must learn to speak up for ourselves as humans and citizens instead of being treated as the numbers we are identified by.
Spot on
Give a listen to 'The Light' and 'Hold On To Memories'... Incredibly uplifting and powerful music.
He is dreaming all through the song. The dream is a premonition.
Simon and Garfunkel's version was a call for us to wake up. A warning. This version is the anger of that warning ignored.
You should definitely watch their A Reason to Fight and Hold on to Memories, both official live versions.
Don't try to figure it out, just listen to it
I managed to do both. Aren’t you proud?
NOTE: that David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance and I heard he was not pleased with his performance, being the perfectionist that he is I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole performance was amazing and he voice was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! - Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS Team Coco
MORE DISTURBED!!
I actually like your style. There is almost 30 years of discography to delve into. I'd suggest there new album Divisive. The three standouts for right now are, Bad Man, Hey You and Don't Tell Me ft Ann Wilson which was dropped in Jan 2024.
Please watch his live version on Conan O’Brian ….it so beautiful and you don’t get distracted by the visuals.
Maybe the musicians are trying to reach the people. People who have things to say (sheet music) but are standing silent. Maybe art (music etc...) is one way to break the silence. ???
Simon and Garfunkle wrote this as a folk song, and it contains so much wisdom. But their style is not for most modern audiences.
Disturbed really brought the song and message to life. David is an amazing singer!
Thanks!
You are very welcome and thank you!!!
Please react to Heaven's Hung in Black by W.A.S.P. Upon hearing the death toll of 55,000 at Gettysburg, President Lincoln said heaven's hung in black tonight. Blackie Lawless wrote the song thinking about our military in the middle east. The lyrics are from St. Peter telling a military person that heaven is full because of the war. The chorus is from the miltary's person point of view. (Didn't use soldier, as a mom of a Devil Dog and they are insulted to be called soldiers).
I know other comments already told ya this was written by Paul Simon, I just wanted to add a few things that usually get lost in all the claims this song was prophetic, or some even saying that Garfunkel wrote it about a blind college buddy...lol. These guys were adored by my parents, so by proxy I grew up listening to them, and now that they're gone, this song especially, means a whole lot to me, ditto for Disturbed's truly heartfelt, passionate reincarnation of the song, I wish my parents could have heard it. So I like to post the full story behind the song when I can, and when I know a reactor will appreciate it, and/or has respect for old school song writing, so sorry if it's a bit long......
Paul wrote this in 1963, shortly after finishing college, he got the inspiration by accident, practicing as he often did in the downstairs bathroom of his parents house which was tiled and had great acoustics. He said he'd turn the lights out, turn the water on from the sink, and sit in the empty tub, one particular day sitting there with no lights he just strummed and sang "Hello darkness my old friend". Paul said he wrote the rest over the next couple days, and then told Garfunkel about it, and played it for him. He has said in many interviews....
"𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙮𝙧𝙞𝙘, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙖𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 21-𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧-𝙤𝙡𝙙. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙢𝙮 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙇𝙞𝙩. 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜.

What's even more crazy is it was released on the album "Wednesday Morning 3AM", Simon & Garfunkel's debut album in 1964, and it was titled "Sounds of Silence" and was strictly Paul's guitar, and their two voices, no other instrumentation. Due to the Beatles blowing up that same year, and Bob Dylan making the jump from pure folk music, and picking up an electric guitar for the first time, Simon & Garfunkel's folk album was a flop, barely selling 2000 copies. They broke up soon after, Garfunkel going back to college and Paul going to Europe, almost two years later, the "Sounds of Silence" started getting some college radio play, so their former producer from Columbia Records, using the master copy, re-recorded the song adding some light drums and a little bass, and released it as a single called "The Sound of Silence". Paul didn't even know it was a hit until he picked up a copy of a U.S. paper in Denmark with the Billboard top 100 in it, and there it was in the top 60 but climbing fast. He flew home and hooked back up with Garfunkel and the rest is history.
There's many videos and interviews that tell parts of the story, I found this one to be the most complete, with more info than I provided above, that centers around the song itself, and not their whole career. Great reaction, take care!

Digging to deep dude! Just enjoy!
Enjoyed every bit of it fam! 🤘💯❤️
First off, if I had recommended this cover or any cover of "The Sound of Silence" to you or any of these channels, I would have told you/them to first watch the original video by Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon wrote this classic song in 1964 and I think their first video was released in 1965.
I understand but this one is way better in my opinion. The original was terrible until they added more music to it. This cover was a masterpiece.
Thwy brought the words to people could not communicate.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not dreaming, it’s a warning
❤
just listen to all of it before commenting
Why?
Hey my friend, check out Dire Straits (Brothers in Arms) for a fellow vet! (Canadian Army,1st Field Artillery, Halifax-Dartmouth, Reserves)
Simon's version was a warning. Disturb's is the warning was ignored.
You know this is a Simon & Garfunkel cover, right..? 😏
I do now 😂
@@TormentedVet_Reactions
I got ur back bro 😆
Love the channel ❤🤍💙
Don't know if you're down with Depeche Mode but DOPE did a cover of 'People are People' & Finger Eleven did their song 'Walking In My Shoes'... 👍👍
did you know this is a cover :p (yes I have seen the other comments)
I like the original just that bit more.
You should react to the original song by Simon and Garfunkel.
The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is sad resignation.
The Sound of Silence by Disturbed is Dammit, LISTEN!
***** The Warning *****
"And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made." ~ Paul Simon
"And the people bowed and prayed, to the golden calf they made." ~ Old Testament
I definitely see where you’re going with this. But I feel the context is a bit different between the two. One bing something that man made that has replaced people’s ability to communicate. The other was a creation that was constructed for man to warship in place of God as Moses went to the mountains where he would get the Ten Commandments.
@@TormentedVet_Reactions of course there’s some differences, but the basic point is the same: people choosing to replace truth with a more convenient lie.
Do the Conan O'Brien live version! There's more there
This is a song that builds. Constant interruptions is frustrating.
You’re definitely not wrong. Hope you enjoyed the reaction! Much love!
*Please LISTEN.* Don’t just wait for an appropriate place to pause. You’re not listening!
You are more than welcome to watch a different video. This is a reaction channel. I’m going to react to things.
To me it's about the inability to communicate with a person face to face. Phones and computers have interrupted the ability to talk 1 on 1. I'd rather talk to someon in person than on a phone or computers, but I'm old school lol
You need to listen to the original version by Simon & Garfunkel, then this, I doubt the Disturbed' version will EVER be surpassed!
Have you listened to the original?
Unfortunately the song... is over 60 years old... and yet... We are worse off now, than we were back then...
If the mouth is moving the ears do not hear. Life challenges.
can you comment after the vidio
?
Seems I can also comment during as well.
Sorry Luciano you have been replaced as number 1.
Ah look I thought dis was about d man's voice which is stunnin by d way if u stop pausing.....I'm off ughhhh
lol imagine coming to a reaction channel and complaining about the person reacting lol
Bye✌️
I didn't like your reaction!! You kept explaining the lyrics of the song as if in a literary book. You didn't even notice David's unique voice!!! I stopped the video at 6 minutes and I'm walking away from you. I'm sorry! :(
His voice was literally the first and second comment I made about the video lol. I understand that reaction videos aren’t meant for everyone. No worries here. But ok I hope have the best day you deserve.
Sorry, could not finish watching. You stopped at each verse, completely destroying the progression for yourself and anyone listening with you. You should have done some research to find out that this is a cover of a 1966 Simon and Garfunkel song rather than trying to analyze the lyrics verse by verse. Very frustrating. So sorry you couldn't just enjoy the song and then react. (I do understand copyright breaks, but yours were excessive, too lengthy and unnecessary)
Bye!✌️
Thanks for your contribution to the channel!
Stop talking during vocal
Why?
lol people can't chill if u really want to hear the song go to disturbed channel I wanna here his opinion
Seems some people haven’t figured this out yet. Much love my friend
