I just can’t get over the lines “and the people bowed and prayed, to the neon gods they made”. Damn. With FB, Twitter, the Gram, etc that could have been written yesterday rather than half a century ago.
This song was written about 14 years after television started becoming popular and popping up in homes across the country. I think that is the neon god that people bowed & prayed to. ... and many Americans still do.
@@markjohnston1769 I guess you should let Art Garfunkel know as he is going around in interviews saying it is about our inability to communicate on a deep emotional level. Paul Simon when asked where he came up with the lyrics said "I don't know." This song was recorded three months after the JFK assassination but was written well before it. See what a 10 second internet search can turn up, and it saves you from looking like a fool.
@KingKokos technology as advanced as we have now is more dangerous than any thing we have seen in the history of mankind. Before we know it we are slaves to the technograty.
And @@dennisivan85 the wannabe keyboard warrior shows up to defend his boyfriend with the comeback of a twelve year old. That ain't gonna cut it kid. Do better -or I'll just have to ignore your sorry @ss.
The bands original idea was to do a cover more in the style of the band. Someone suggested that they keep it mellow (relatively speaking) and this was the masterpiece that evolved. The live television version of this is even better.
@@MidwesternCornbilly Negative. David Draiman wanted to cover the song in different way. He wanted to put power into it. He only released it when he thought it was perfect.
@@MidwesternCornbilly The TV version from Conan's show was auto-tuned (Draiman has made that VERY clear). Done without his permission, even, but he had a cold that day -- slightly stuffed nose, rough throat, you know -- and the Powers-that-be said, "let there be auto-tune". Still well done, but there are a couple of other live versions on TH-cam that are superior to the Conan clip.
@@masterv2041 Right. David thought that the band would do it like they have done other covers; with more power and an in-your-face approach. Danny Donegan was very adamant that they approach it differently.
@@Sk8buzz might not be your style but as with this one the person that originally did land of confusion said after hearing it the exact same thing that paul simon did about this cover.
This is one of my favorite songs, it's the one that really started me down the rabbit hole of TH-cam reaction videos, but no matter how many times I've heard it, I see one of my favorite reactors watched it and it went to the top of the list. I've heard it over a hundred times and it still gets me every time. Thank you, Empress.
I too went down the same rabbit hole with you about TH-cam reaction videos because of this song. Being in my 60's, I remember hearing the original Simon & Garfunkel version on the radio frequently and I always liked it but it was mainly for Simon & Garfunkel's harmonies. It wasn't until I heard David Draiman sing it, that I actually understood what Paul Simon was trying to tell us almost 60 years ago. This song and the live version on Conan O'Brien's show, quickly replaced my long time favorite, Nights In White Satin/Late Lament by the Moody Blues. If I can't have Disturb's version of the Sound Of Silence played at my funeral, I am not coming.
“the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls, and whispered in the sound of silence.” is one of my all time favourite lyrics.
Yes, it is depressing, and sad. But with a message. although that message seems to have been lost for most.. A side from all of that. David delivers in spades. Such a voice
Fear, vision, loneliness, pleading to warn that we no longer communicate and praise false gods...neon lights and the Ad's written on subway walls by the "prophets". That's the message I get
This is the song that made me realize what a cover can actually do. It's remarkable that it has the exact same lyrics as Simon and Garfunkel's folk ballad from the 60s, but it inspires a totally different feeling. The way David Draiman sings the lyrics, and the changes to the instrumentals, give the words a different meaning, so that listening to the cover is an entirely new experience. That, to me, is what a great cover should do: make you reconsider the song in a whole new light.
Someone probably already pointed this out but Paul Simon wrote this as a teenager in his bathroom, in the dark, where he played and sang for it's acoustics. Gives a little more personal meaning to the darkness being a friend that allowed him to create this song.
The song is about technology alienating us from what makes us human. People getting too caught up in modern life to connect and resonate with each other on a human level. Check out the original by Simon and Garfunkel.
Technology wasn’t nearly as controlling then as it is today. It wasn’t a strong presence in our lives. Garfunkel is quoted as saying it’s about "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other." Though I do think the lyrics have become almost an anthem in how we live our lives now, and seems much more poignant in current society than it was then. A song powerful when it was written, yet ahead of its time.
Paul also had the intention of highlighting the fact that people were getting caught up in the music of the British invasion of the 60's. They stopped listening to music of the storytellers and didn't listen for the meaning, just the music.

No matter how often you listen to the song AFTER knowing the story behind it ... it just amazes u more!!! Written pre cellphones... computers and tv as a common things in life it's a warning already in the 60's where we were heading with our noses locked on screens with texting and crap without any sounds or real emotions (connections) .... warned us about the distance technology keeps us in .... smart guys .... today THIS (writing here ... and there) seems to be all we do locked on to those NEON God's !!!! What a song....
The was written by Simon and Garfunkel in the early 1960s (1963-4). This is a good cover, but I prefer the original. Please react to the original also. Thanks
Yes please, this version will only be appreciated if you know the original one by Simon & Garfunkel. But I grew up listen to the original which I prefer. I love looking at your face, you are so beautiful to look at.
Amazing how this song resonates Today . I’ve seen many reactions and every one of them at the end of the song the person has a tough time and has to catch their breath. All of them. What a song and what a voice
When I was growing up I didn’t realize how many songs disturbed actually covers.. Such as 10,000 fist in the air and land of confusion. Which were both originally Phil Collins songs..
This isn’t Disturbed’s normal sound. Down with the Sickness is one of their early iconic songs. David was training to be a cantor in a Jewish synagogue. He has since also done some other training.
If you like Powerful Music i recommend also watching: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (The 2013 Wacken Version) or Vienna Teng - Gravity or Blind Guardian - The Bards Song (live)
so, this song was originally written by paul simon and performed by simon and garfunkel. this song is about communication, and the lack there of. Simon and garfunkel sang the song at a slightly faster pace, in a higher tempo. Unfortunately this didnt portray the songs meaning as powerfully as david draimans version from the band disturbed. Very powerful lyrics
best part is watching people who don't know the band as the tension builds..as they're reacting I'm thinking "just hold on, uve got no idea what's coming!!"🤣
Pentatonix has an amazing version of this as well that you should watch. They're an incredible acapella group that is redefining what can be done without instruments.
Please listen to even if you don’t react to the song “down with the sickness” by Disturbed . The sound of silence is beautiful but not like the other 95% of their songs, They are a great metal band🤘
History review: Written between 63-65, during the cold war, beginning of the US involvement in the Vietnam war. Under the shadow of nuclear war. (The failed invasion of the Bay of Pigs (Cuba) by US financed & equipped soldiers was 1961). Elementary school children doing "bomb drills" throughout the 50's/early 60's, hiding under their desks as if that would keep them safe. By 10 my friends and I knew being under a desk had zero ability to protect us, but we went through the motions because it calmed the adults. That's the era that generated this protest song ... I think David Draiman's new version planting it in the post-apocalypse is spot on for the current era.
Best cover of an already classic song I've ever heard. It's a protest song from the sixties...just as valid now with David Draiman howling it as it was when Simon and Garfunkel gently sang it...
Listen to : "The Sound Of Silence by Wuauquikuna | Panflute | Toyos |" ...... NO Words, 2 Natives with Flutes ... Awesome Cover on : Wuauquikuna Official
Yes amazing song and one of the best covers ever... but if you looking for amazing voices and maybe a woman this time go for: NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE) "th-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/w-d-xo.html"
I'm not sure this song should be covered. S & G were a sort of "break the mold" . The 70's band "Yes" did a cover of S & G's "America", and it was a horrible distortion of the heartfelt original And I love "Yes". Hear for yourself: th-cam.com/video/3CACWj18ruk/w-d-xo.html. And now compare to the original: th-cam.com/video/lGdPQ3OA5pI/w-d-xo.html
A 1965 song written by Paul Simon and re-done by Disturbed 2015 (50 years later) ...both are awe inspiring this version here is Phenomenal!! ~ easily the best song for me in the past 5 years
THE SONG WAS ALREADY PERFECT, it didn't need covering. This is ego over respect for the writing. It's not badly sung but the original was so well balanced and tempered I find this an insult to writing & composing - and I dont give a shit if Paul Simon liked it - I would bet in his heart he thinks the same. If anyone knows performing classically, knows this is like mariah vs whitney. Whitney had the ear to not indulge in vocal arrogance.
"lashed out its warning and in the words that it was forming..." That FASCISM is forming and the PEOPLE are standing SILENT. They saw this in the 1960's and SIXTY years later, here we are.
This song is original from Simon and Garfunkel, much more softer and calmer. I think you know that Diturbed is a Heavy Metal Band and made this cover with an emazing success. If you wanna know, what kind of music they actually play, listen to "10000 fists" or "down with the sickness". (by the way: that´s my music). Greetings from Germany.

This is one of those covers that’s better than the original & the original was good
Love it!!!!!!!
Wow. She went for a ride.
On a side note: Damn she is good looking!!
She should have done the live version
"Forgetting to breathe" is one of the side effects of this song.
If you don’t feel it you have no soul

Buckle up.

Depressing but poignant.
LOL the song is just that love it or don't listen...the best cover I have ever seen!
Buckle up, buckeroo
Buckle up this will kick a lot

I call this the angry version. When Paul Simon heard it he said it was the way it was meant to be sung and that it brought him to tears.

The power of his voice hits you like a ton of bricks!
The last verse especially. "AND the people bowed and prayed". Beast
you said that right, i agree
No mountain of bricks 🔥🔥

Just another David yes!! Awesome song!!
People talking without speaking.?...texting.......people bowed and prayed..to the neon gods they made.?...big tech.......damn talking about 2021
React to Simon and Garfunkel - Sound Of silence ( from the concert in Central Park )
YESSS!! PLEASE!!!! One of my favorites since I could understand what music really means to people....in 1988 LMFAO
This is a cover, the original song was by Simon and Garfunkle, their tone is very different than this one.
OK Joy-Jean, lets us see your reaction to Chris Stapleton song called "Death Row"... Tell me if you hear the sound of time ticking away in this song!
"Too powerful for one person". Love it.
You prolly don't know this is a remake is simon and garfunkel
Review original by Simon and Garfunkel, two of the greatest musicians in US history. This version is very average slush.
Someone probably already pointed this out but Paul Simon wrote this as a teenager in his bathroom, in the dark, where he played and sang for it's acoustics.
Gives a little more personal meaning to the darkness being a friend that allowed him to create this song.

It could work that way these days, but that definitely wasn't the songs original intent.
Paul also had the intention of highlighting the fact that people were getting caught up in the music of the British invasion of the 60's. They stopped listening to music of the storytellers and didn't listen for the meaning, just the music.
The song was about an acid trip from 60 years ago, nothing at all to do with modern day social media

Don`t listen to this Crap.......Listen to Simon and Garfunkel!
Disturbed does a nice job but the original Simon and Garfunkel harmonies make the song.
Listen to the original composer Simon and Garfunkel, and then make the comparison.
The original with Simon and Garfunk is soo much better and deep!
That woman is absolutely beautiful...oh yea, the song is pretty good as well..Ha
Too bad she didn't listen to the original by Simon & Garfunkel
do the original by Simon and Garfunkel, much better
Have to hear the original by Simon and Garfunkel. Live in Central Park is best. 👍❤️
I hate this version, it's a poor attempt of a great song by simon and garfunkel.
To bad you didnt listening to the original.. Its 1000 times better!!
EJJ. now listen to their song The Vengeful One. Love your show.
Please react to Pentatonix! Pick any song you like, you can't go wrong!
This isn’t Disturbed’s normal sound. Down with the Sickness is one of their early iconic songs. David was training to be a cantor in a Jewish synagogue. He has since also done some other training.
Watch the original by simon and garfunkel
This guy ruined a classic and turned into something dark and evil!
When someone is too young to know the original or the band covering it🤣
Understand but what this version has done is bring a new generation to the song
Your reaction to this song is so pure. Your body language grasped everything his voice was pushing.
You must listen to the original Simon and Garfunkel
If you like Powerful Music i recommend also watching: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (The 2013 Wacken Version) or Vienna Teng - Gravity or Blind Guardian - The Bards Song (live)

They are a great metal band🤘
This song hits like a 30 lbs iron sledgehammer. I can't take my eye's away from the video or miss anything and the power of his voice is tremendous.
This song is about the silence of depression
listen to Simon and gargoyle's sound of silence. this version is alright, but the original version is better
This version is the best better than the original for sure
They absolutely ruined a good song
Michael Bolton " How am I supposed to live without you"...
Lonely Island with Michael Bolton - Jack Sparrow
much better.
Ok this is good but react to Paul and Garfunkel's version too....
You’re so right. He sounds like a choir. So much overtone and range. That’s the perfect way to describe his amazing talent!

Neon God's they made, like in facebook, tweeter and there cellphones that they walk around starring at aimlessly all day.
This version always brings me to tears. Such a well done version. The lead singer Dave Draiman was actually given classical voice lessons.
I loved how much your face portrayed the emotion of hearing the song for the first time, plus you didn't stop it every 2 seconds
Check out Pentatonix
If you Enjoyed this Emotional & Powerful performance. you might try the Harmony of the ORIGINAL By ( Simon & Garfunkel)
People need to listen!! That's the whole message of this. LISTEN TO THE WORDS!! Paul was before his time.
If you want epic, you need to listen to the live version of this song, from the Conan O'Brien Show...2016.

I'm not sure this song should be covered.
