In this episode of #TheDailyDoug, I'm reacting to Disturbed's cover version of the classic Sting song If I Ever Lose My Faith In You. I very much enjoyed their treatment of this song...I think it fits the band's sensibilities and aesthetic well. Enjoy!
Reference Video: • Disturbed - If I Ever ...

"... a lot of parallel chords--" then the DISTURBED HEAVY KICKS IN and the look on your face! Awesome!
The musicians in Disturbed have the talent to do any type of music and the more or less do.
They also do a great cover of 'Land of confusion' by Genesis 😍
Also, 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking For' by U2.
Really, all their covers are amazing.
And also "Midlife crisis" by Faith No More.
Disturbed is one of my favorite hard rock bands! David is a such a good singer, and their covers are great! This song is so powerful.....definitely hit home with this one..
Disturbed has done great covers, but they are also Down with the Sickness!
Hope they feel better
Sting's original seems a pedestrian love song to me. In this one, the singer counts off all his disillusionments, all the things that have failed him, things he can't believe in anymore. And then, the music gets triumphant at the end, repeating "If I ever lose my faith in you"...as people look at themselves in the mirror. Disturbed transformed this lightweight pop song into an anthem of believing in yourself. Maybe you need to watch the video to get that...I'm not sure the arrangement alone makes it clear. But I find this version of the song ultimately uplifting despite all the disillusionment.
I love when the guitar kicks in, and seeing your face with childlike amazement and approval.
This song is soooo beautiful. The recording with Sting is great. I didn´t expect this version to be special, but they´ve really done a great job, respecting the beautiful harmony and powerful drive.
😂 I was just as surprised as Doug when the rock part kicked in as this was also the first time I've ever heard Disturbed version 😂
Next The Light by Disturbed. I won't stop suggesting it, ever 🤣
One of their best, keep suggesting!
Well technically if he does a video on it you will stop lol
Absolutely!
Lol thank you for your persistence. Checking it out next.
Definitely their best song.
Angra - Holy Land (studio version)
Nothing to say is also very interesting
@Doug Helvering, I love watching you discover one of my all time favorite bands! Keep it up! "THE LIGHT" should be next on your list sir! Disturbed as a whole are some of the best hard rock musicians! I play the piano and flute myself, I'm also an alto singer and thoroughly enjoy your reactions! Rock on! 🤘🥰
just have to say i’m addicted to your reactions and videos! yes ! . i’m a disturbed and tool lover , but i also love listening to classical and “edm” in between. .
makes me appreciate their songs even more !
"I never saw a miracle of science that did not go from a blessing to a curse." I would humbly suggest that the problem lies not in the scientific discovery, but in its misuse by madmen in high places - the masters of war.
Been a fan of Disturbed since the 90s. David's singing prowess is nothing new. but always excites. I think the best thing about this cover to me is that the Sting version was more of a personal thing with his lover. This one is somehow a bit more. Like about losing faith in humanity.
Disturbed is my favorite. I’ve been listening to them since they released their first album (The Sickness) back in 2000.
Talking about The Police brings to mind their great song Synchronicity II. From the great musicianship to the fascinating concept found in the lyrics, this would be a great reaction video!
For me, that song will forever be tied to the video made for it. Listening to the song always calls up that video in my mind. It's my favorite Police song.
Disturbed have also done covers of "Already Gone", "Living After Midnight" ,"Land of Confusion" and "Shout" but their version is called "Shout 2000".
Already Gone is not a cover, this is not the Eagle's song. Their covers are I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (originally by U2), Fade To Black (originally by Metallica), Living After Midnight (Judas Priest, 1980), Midlife Crisis (originally by Faith No More), Shout 2000 (originally by Tears For Fears), If I Ever Lose My Faith In You (originally by Sting), Land Of Confusion (originally by Genesis), and The Sound Of Silence (originally by Simon & Garfunkel)
Lmao I had no idea they covered Gordon Sumners!
Absolutely love your reaction thank you so much
I recommend the studio version of black horsemen by king diamond. The album is called Abigail and the whole album is an amazing story.
i believe king diamond didn t want to have reactions to their songs...
They've covered Genesis; Land Of Confusion, Tears For Fears; Shout, U2; I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Faith No More; Midlife Crisis, Metallica; Fade To Black, Judas Priest; Living After Midnight
Some suggestions if curious on how the song compares to the original
I absolutely love this channel mate
I love Disturbed and I enjoy you breaking down their songs. Truly interesting.
Caligula's Horse / Graves - epic 4 part song and interesting lyrics from a rocking Australian prog metal band
yes, I'd LOVE Doug to break that down!!
As it's been echoed so many times, if you don't review "Down With the Sickness," you haven't visited Disturbed.
I love watching you get into the song next to the piano!
Disturber’s Land of Confusion cover and the Light.
Thanks to Disturbed you could do this reaction in a church. Because Sting's original starts with the Tritone which was banned by the pope.
Well, I did not feel very comfortable with the original. The Disturbed version has much more power which gives the song more meaning. Thank you for the video.
Great review and love that you revisited Disturbed!
My request is for Vanden Plas / In My Universe - great german prog band, really good vocals and interesting progressions.
Doug - I really enjoy your perspective on modern "punk/rap/alt rock/ who-cares-what-it -is-called" music. I love your interactive (almost ... bordering on intrusive) approach to analyzing the music!!! Please keep injecting your higher-level, intellectual comments. I love how you can discern "everything" about the Disturbed take on a 90's pop song. Time changes us all and changes our view of music. Sorry, Mr. Classical Music guy ... YOU ROCK! Keep doing your thing -- we love it!
Thanks. Enjoyed this one, too! I also love Sting's music. I actually enjoy his solo stuff more than a lot of the Police songs I grew up with. I'd like to see you react to / breakdown some more of his work! Thanks again. tavi.
How about an original (The Vengeful One), a really powerful song! Thanks, and loved your ending in the previous video.
Doug, I just found your channel and I love it !!!!
they changed this from a love song to a song about a person singing to their reflection in a mirror.
Disturbed and Five Finger Death Punch are wonderful bands..
The lyrics and the vitriol in which they are shared perfectly sum up the loss of faith in our society and all the government trappings, science, that go along with it.
Congrats on the new place! Doug, As a classical composer you owe it to yourself and to your listeners to listen to a classical album by the band Camel "The Snow Goose" from 1975 and re-recorded in 2013 no vocals and it's one long song!
I second that
By the way, great haircut Doug! You´re looking handsomely.
Marty Friedman - Undertow (one of his most mellow tune ever).
I'd like to see you reacting and analyzing some of Marty's chord progressions, especially since they are influenced by japanese traditional music.
I really enjoy your analysis of great music...I would love to hear your impressions of some King Crimson. Maybe Starless or Three of a Perfect Pair. Cheers!
Some good heavy metal songs
This one gets me every time.
Disturbed has some great songs, but everyone is so infatued by their covers. It's just absurd.
Infatuated, yes as if down with the sickness.
Would love to hear your take on the song Disturbed is known for.."Down With the Sickness".... it's wild!!
They made you listen to the lyrics. It seemed important that you heard the verses.
You're a talented lad, Doug 👍👍🤟🤟
Rebel Yell by Northern Kings. They turn a 3 minute song into an 8 minute saga.
Equilibrium - Mana. Best instrumental piece ever. Bring it on, Doug
Awesome!
Fantastic video. Thank you so much.
Frank Zappa - Andy
Proyecto Tulpa - Doble Terror A Las 8
Pitehui - Sol De Noche
Pat Metheny - America Undefined
Love that Zappa album. Any song would be great to cover!
I suggest: Symphony X - Underworld, The Gathering In motion 1&2, Sand&Mercury, Within Temptation - The howling, Darkwater - Tallest tree
Great breakdown Doug!
YO Doug you are the man for real, I typically am here for Maiden Monday but I love how you take an open mind as a true musician should to all types of music. But we need more DIO!! he is in fact GOD
Would love to see a Wintersun (Sons of Winter and Stars) reaction! Or Galneryus (Angel of Salvation. Full song). Also Ne Obliviscaris (song: And Plague Flowers) too!
The one thing that you did Miss while you were playing was the video artistic representation of them seeing themselves in the mirror and them singing If I ever lose My Faith in You.
Exactly... he was far too self absorbed to even pay attention to any aspects of the video!
If you wanna hear another cover from Disturbed check out Shout 2000
hey doug greetings from Chile. I love your reacts, because more than a reacts, it is a complete analysis ofwhat you are listening to. I think will be interesting if you make an analysis reaction from a legendary band like PINK FLOYD with the Song SHEEP it probably doesn't have much technique, but I think it would be interesting to analyze the melodies. Thank you!
They did a cover of living after midnight by judas priest
Heart of the Sunrise by YES
Can you do a video one day explaining all the musical terms you use. Lot of the time you go technical it goes over my head and I don't know what you are talking about. Would love to know.
Sure! I’m launching a Patreon, and more music analysis and terminology will be included there.
Are there any plans to expand the scope of the music you analyse, Doug? I mean, besides Opeth, Jinjer and Epica, there are way less-known bands whose music happens to be tagged as extreme metal that have been scarcely addressed at all despite their music sets them apart musically, to the point of being unique.
I brought this up a couple of times before, but there is quality music outside the pure prog tag: Ne Obliviscaris, Persefone, Therion, Quo Vadis, Draconian, Virgin Black, Stream Of Passion, Wilderun, Amorphis, Anathema, A (Anonymous Confederate Ensemble), Be'lakor, Insomnium, Into Eternity, Swallow The Sun, Moonspell, The Gathering, Haggard, Green Carnation, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of Filth, Saturnus, Trees Of Eternity... and I could go on.
The thing is I fear that this big chunk of music is going to be neglected (as it always has been/is), be it in favour of more mainstream music or the more typical prog music. I don't want to be a nuisance here from expecting something which actually isn't planned to happen.
have you heard the song by sting "what could have been". its from a animated show on netflix and thats from a video game so it doesnt get much love from the "normal" music community. to me it should have been on all the award shows but we all know they are about 50 years behind the times.
I will 100% always be stunned you can just "boop-boww!" a chord that's perfect. I know you're way way way more talented than any of my music teachers ever, but still. "Boop-boww" and it's perfect. Good thoughts, good wishes, hugs and love and all that to you! :D
Hi Doug, I love your channel and the tracks you choose to react to! If you are a taking suggestions I would be very excited and intrigued to see you react to Nero - Satisfy, it's something a little different from your usual track choices but I think it's one that you would enjoy and I'd be interested to see what you make of it! I actually am using the same headphones as you and the track sounds incredible through them! 😁 Also whether it be in your own time or here on the channel you should check out the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra if you haven't experienced them already! Their tracks with Magnetic Man are some of my favourites! Namely, Magnetic Man ft Emeli Sande - I need air, and Magnet Man ft Katy B - Perfect Stranger. Both tracks are performed live with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
Mentionable covers: A Perfect Circle - Imagine. It's a cover of the John Lennon song, you'll be surprised!
You need to try some songs by The Alan Parsons Project, written by Eric Woolfson, like _Old and Wise_ with it's descending semitone bass line, etc.
Please do a King Diamond song or a mercyful fate one, will be amazing.
Will be also nice if you get back to Ayreon, I remember you to be surprise by their creativity and fusion but you never get back to them.
Thanks for all your amazing videos.
Doug you should check out a smaller band from Wales called Manic Street Preachers and their song Little Baby Nothing
You should listen to some of their original music
Mine would be Genesis / Phil Collins. Huge fan back in the 80's. Hard to sing to? Try Judas Priest's "Pain Killer" or Steel Hearts "I'll never let you go" lol
Very impressive analysis.
How come I couldn't find your channel sooner? Got an instant subscribe out of me lol
Doug, is there any reason why most (if not all) your reaction videos are to rock/metal songs? I'd love to see you break down and discuss some of the more complex pop songs from the 1970s and 80s - suggestion of the excellent but little known band Toy Matinee perhaps?
The doors the end or riders on the strom
Check out Steve Vai Tender Surrender!
You need to listen to Dan Vasc's take on Amazing Grace.
Angra - no pain for The dead
Day 20 of requesting a reaction video of The Flower Kings - Love Supreme (Studio) :)
A very talented group of people. Daniel Gildenlöw on vocals here is also the vocalist of Pain of Salvation.
Angra- Morning star
Manowar-Heart of steel (with orchestra or not)
Recommend Riverside "Left out" or "Second Life Syndrom"
Don't lose faith in yourself.
glenn hughes has a nice cover of the song roxanne.
Hey Doug,
Check out this old one...
Recycled Part 1 by Nektar

Whew! Glad I got that off my chest.
Really enjoy your channel!
Pink Floyd - High Hopes
Disturbed has metal songs
Supertramp "fools Overture" please
Day 3: Doug, I would recommend you have a listen to Between the Buried and Me. Specifically the song 'White Walls' from the album "Colors."
do Inside the fire by disturbed
You are certainly one of the most informative reaction channel on the whole youtube... I can justify my procrastination here as learning :D I would really like your opinion on Riverside/Lunatic Soul, Storm Corrosion, Anathema, Iamthemorning, Árstíðir, Thy Catafalque, Katatonia... but esp. on this almost unknown gem by Steven Wilson: czcams.com/video/I6VPch1QNzs/video.html
This one by Thy Catafalque may be interesting? czcams.com/video/RWYNV0Db7wc/video.html
Dear Maestro, would you, please, analyse Frank Zappa's "Peaches en Regalia". I'm very interested in your opinion. Grateful in advance
I think it's a mistake to inject power into this tune. We already have Nickelback, but I guess they didn't cover it. There's a much sweeter cover of this song by Laith Al-Deen you should check out. He's a German-speaking musician based in Europe, but he recorded this one in English. Far superior, IMO, to the way Disturbed does it. I don't have the ear or the theory knowledge to know for sure whether Laith changes keys on us from Sting's original, but it sounds like he quietly takes it down a peg and gives it a lovely soul-inflected vocal. I love this tune, too, and hate to see it butchered into distortion, but that's just my taste.
I really like your commentary on popular music. It's thoughtful and stays away from the bombast that some other commentators (such as I) seem unable to resist.
You should listen Michael Angelo Batio
Doug. Could you make a review of Alter Bridge. This side of fate album version. Myles Kennedy is the singer (great voice) and he made a live performance of the sound of silence with Disturbed
Fand by the enid !
The Enid, great recommendation!
I mean if you are loving Disturbed's covers you should check out their cover of Genesis Land of Confusion
You should react to reunited by wu tang clan
Opeth - Dignity I'm sure you will like the progressivness
or "All things will pass"
Haken - falling back to earth
