David Draiman...amazing range and control...a powerful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do . He is so unique as he actually puts vibrato on his distortion!....also VERY difficult to do...one of the best male vocalists on the planet imho. Loved your reaction Claudio!
"The Sound of Silence" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that was originally written and performed by Simon & Garfunkel in 1964¹³. The American heavy metal band Disturbed covered this song and released it on August 21, 2015, as part of their sixth studio album, "Immortalized". The lyrics of "The Sound of Silence" convey a message of isolation, despair, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that seems void of communication and genuine connection². The song explores the idea that our modern society often creates barriers between people, preventing true understanding and empathy². It reflects on the silence that can exist between individuals, where conversations are strained or lacking in substance². The darkness mentioned in the song represents ignorance and the lack of true insight, while the silence represents the absence of meaningful communication and understanding. Art Garfunkel once revealed that the song centers around communication issues. According to him, it is about people being unable to love one another because of their inability to "communicate with each other" effectively on an emotional level¹. Disturbed chose to cover "The Sound of Silence" because they deeply resonated with its powerful lyrics and emotional depth². The band wanted to bring attention to the song’s timeless message, which they felt was relevant to the challenges faced by society today². While some may argue that Disturbed added a different interpretation to the song with their cover, the essence and core message of "The Sound of Silence" remain intact². Disturbed brought their own unique style and intensity to the song, giving it a fresh perspective while staying true to its original intent. Disturbed’s cover of "The Sound of Silence" propelled the song to new heights of popularity. It introduced the song to a younger generation and introduced a wider audience to the band’s unique blend of heavy rock and emotional intensity². Paul Simon, one-half of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, expressed his admiration for Disturbed’s cover of "The Sound of Silence." He commended the band for their powerful rendition and acknowledged the emotions they brought to the song². The cover has received positive reviews for its emotional depth and powerful performance. Vocal coaches and music reviewers have praised David Draiman's exquisite vocal performance and the band's nuanced and respectful version of the song. "The Sound of Silence" remains a timeless piece, its message as poignant today as it was when it was first released, highlighting the enduring nature of its meaning².

Disturbed's decision to cover "The Sound of Silence" was a deliberate and thoughtful one. The band was drawn to the song's powerful lyrics and emotional depth⁵. They felt that the song's timeless message was relevant to the challenges faced by society today. The idea to cover "The Sound of Silence" came from Disturbed's drummer, Mike Wengren⁴. He had a personal connection to the song as it was something his family played in the background when it was time to do chores at home⁴. This childhood memory sparked the idea to bring this classic song into the band's repertoire. However, covering such an iconic song required a shift in their musical approach. Disturbed is known for their heavy metal sound, but they felt they needed to adopt a gentler sound to do justice to "The Sound of Silence"⁴. This was a significant departure from their usual style, but they were willing to take on the challenge to convey the song's profound message⁶. Lead singer David Draiman had been trained as a cantor (a person who leads prayers in Jewish congregations) when he was younger⁴. He hadn't used that part of his vocal ability for many years, but decided to tap into it for this song⁴. He found the experience of listening to his vocals in this new context very overwhelming⁴. The band's cover of "The Sound of Silence" was well-received, even by Paul Simon, one-half of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, who wrote the original song⁴. Simon sent an email to Draiman praising the cover, to which Draiman responded expressing his gratitude⁴. Disturbed's decision to cover "The Sound of Silence" was driven by their deep respect for the song's message, their willingness to experiment with their musical style, and their desire to connect with their audience on a deeper level. Their successful rendition of the song is a testament to their versatility as a band and their commitment to creating music that resonates with their fans and the wider audience.

I think yours is one of the very few, if not the singular most, in line with my reaction/feeling of the emotion of the song, the emotion and the reaction that I absolutely mirrored. I love seeing/hearing reactions to tnis song.
