He puts so much soul and energy into this song. I truly believe that he did so, so, so much justice to this song. The emotion that he is able to convey is breathtaking. The power his voice has, the strength of his vocals and impact that gets felt from his tone is unmatched. I love this song to no end. It’s so powerful. He is so talented. I will always love his rendition and feel appreciation for how he was able to breathe new life into this song, to showcase his talent and his own appreciation for singing and music and art. You just know how genuine he is just from this. Love it 💖
I love how he starts so softly, so gentle to lure you in, then approaching the climax of the song he unleashes pure passion and grit! This guy is a pure masterpiece! I cried when I first heard his version, it really does stand out from other versions of this song. Thanks for the reaction Luke! I love watching all of these. xx
It's amazing that he was able to give such a performance. If I remember correctly, he was either recovering from a cold/flu or was still sick when he gave that performance.
Yeah, he’s sitting on a stool because he was so sick with the flu he couldn’t stand. They were preparing to replace them but he refused and did THIS. David is a beast.
Well Luke, I’m usually here for all things BTS but I love this performance by disturbed. David has an incredible voice and was quite sick when he recorded this. I’m so excited, never clicked so fast💜
I am 76 and grew up listening to Simon & Garfunkel's version from 1964 along with many others until I heard Disturbed's version last year when I finally understood the song. I would like a DVD of the studio version video with the audio of the Conan Show you just finished. I have also seen the Houston live performance with Miles Kennedy and the Moscow live performance; they are all the same except the 20-piece orchestra behind David Draiman on this performance which has had over 100 million views. This one had the backstage workers come out to see who was singing and the audience gave them a standing ovation and applause for over 10 minutes reported by several audience members. I have been watching a lot of reaction videos and almost every one of them is a complete surprise and awe of these performances.
I am so proud of you! This song reduces me to tears- every time ! I am sure since you are such a devoted Distrubed fan, you know that he was a trained cantor. I would love to hear some of that ! His voice is beyond amazing!
Yes he was still under the weather during this performance. What really ticked him off was that the producers, knowing he wasn't well, used Autotune on him without him knowing. He was seriously pissed when he found out. Brillant man, band. Thanks for this reaction and that you've been a 'Disturbed fan for so long, like me! Good health, and continue the great journey!
I’m usually here for PTX and normally not a Disturbed fan but I absolutely LOVE David’s voice and how he made this song everything it could be. The video is fabulous as well as helping to tell the story so well. This and Pentatonics version though different, but also phenomena are tied in my own opinion. Great reaction.
I got to see them live about 10 or so years ago - I wasn't a huge fan of theirs, but came out of that concert just in awe of his stage presence and voice and have followed them ever since. First time I heard their version of this song, I didn't even know I was crying until it was over.
Disturbed is also one of my all tume favorite bands and Stricken is still one of my favorites. The music video to this song is how I was introduced to reaction videos. I didn't know such a thing existed until I saw one for their mv. I still watch every reaction to this song that I see. Mindblowing!
I am usually here for your anime reactions, but this song summons me! I love it, and I love watching reactions to this version of it. I am glad to see you enjoy it. :)
I am a photographer with a radio station and I have had the pleasure of taking photos of 2 of their live shows. To see this song played live was awesome. I passed David Draiman in a backstage hallway. He was dressed for the stage and was taking his little son (2/3 years old) out to the bus. It was adorable.
It's easy to ignore the lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel version, but you can't ignore the lyrics when Disturbed does this cover. The S&G version was a warning. This version showed the anger and frustration that the warning had not been heeded and if anything things have gotten worse. What a great interpretation of this song. Best cover ever.
God that shocked me to begin with, I thought you meant you'd never heard the disturbed version of sound of silence at all to begin with gosh, of course you have lol Damn can anyone possibly listen to this and not cry? No matter how many hundreds of times it's heard it always brings you to tears. The mix between those lyrics, that amazing voice, and the orchestra just hits you right in the heart. It's so beautiful. Also how is the live version so similar to the official recording?
I am sure you have done Johnny Cash, Hurt. But I am not sure there is a live version to it. But you should have that on this channel! Definitely channel worthy !
David is an amazing singer and performer. I have had the pleasure and honour of seeing them live three times from Ozzfest in the beginning to a small club in Cincinnati to a large concert arena. They amaze me every time. On another note, I subscribed because of your reactions to Voice Play and noticed you haven't reacted to them in months. You have missed some truly amazing pieces by the boys. Hope to see you get back to them soon. Great reaction as always. 😊
Best joke I have heard: When God was making David Draiman, he asked him if he wanted the singing voice of an angel or a demon. David said "Yes please!" Great reaction.
The fact that he was seriously ill and running a fever moment's before going on stage; that's why he was sitting during the performance. David and Disturbed are simply amazing!
when i saw the MV for this for the first time i literally watched the whole thing with my mouth open in amazement without even realizing it. Personally i prefer Simon and Garfunkel's live version but this is an all round solid performance!
I'm so glad you reacted to this. Disturbed is my favorite band. They don't have a single song I don't like. I've seen them several times in concert and they are amazing. This rendition of the Sound of Silence is fabulous. My favorite songs are The Light, Believe, Prayer and Are you Ready. But I will listen to any of their songs. The last time I saw them they were with Megadeath. The time before was Godsmack. Two great bands also.
An amazing trivia fact about David Draiman, he is actually classically trained as a cantor, (someone who sings in synagogue). Since being Jewish and being part of a synogigue is usually a family tradition, can you imagine what his parent must of thought when he dropped out of the church to go sing in a heavy metal band? lol Oh, and another thing, this performance was amazing, and he had the flu and refused to not perform, can you imagine what it would of sounded like had he not been sick?
This is the epitome of a male vocalist, brings goose bumps every time I hear it not to mention the occasional welling of the the eyes, obsoletely perfect in every way. I am not usually a fan of covers but, controversially, I will 100% say this was better than the original. With such power, emotion and meaning conveyed I am sure Simon and Garfunkel themselves would even agree. This is how this song should sound .
He has one of the most beautiful voices. You can always tell it's him. One of the biggest reasons Disturbed is one of my absolute favorite bands. I got to see them live and it blew my mind how perfect they sounded.
Tolle Reaktion. Ich bin 68 Jahre, liebe Disturbed, liebe David Draiman und habe das Lied sicher schon 100 mal gehört. 1000 x Gänsehaut. Zum Liveautritt war er krank, welche Beherrschung , welche Stimme. Wenn es nicht gesagt und geschrieben wurde, vermutet man das nicht. Es ist einfach der Wahnsinn. Danke für Ihre Reaktion.
I don't know if you'll see this comment since this video is from 4 months ago, but if you're still doing your live music journey and haven't watched Blue October "Fear" live, you should. The official music video is also awesome, but if this is a live music journey it wouldn't fit hehe Any live performance of any Blue October song really. David Draimon (Disturbed) and Justin Furstenfeld (Blue October) are two musicians that never cease to amaze and delight me. My two favorite voices to listen to, they are both so distinct and unique - and wonderful humans to boot! Love love love them both so much.
I’ve been a fan of Disturbed since the day I picked up their first album. I actually had never heard of them, but I was working a promo event for the local radio station and at the end, they gave us a choice of stuff to grab and I ended up grabbing their album and have loved them ever since. This was before they had even charted.
You should check out their song Hold on to Memories. The official video…it’s incredible. Currently relevant since we just celebrated Dia de los Muertos on November 1st. You will love it!
Hahahaha your face and reaction say it all! I too love David and Disturbed but it’s clear….the talent he has is frikkin unbelievable! My favorite version of this song hands down and I’m 61!
I love this cover/rendition so much, more than the original I grow with . I reamly enjoy Simon and Garfunkel, I enven attend one of their concert in the 90' , but this vresion is incredble, powerful and emotional. Maybe because I'm a old rock/metal fan, but it touch me to the heart, since years now. Disturbed version of Sound of silence is in all my playlists, and I listen to it at least once a week ! (and I cry EACH TIME ! ) Happy to share this moment with you.
I saw them live in Lowell, Ma around 2001, maybe 2002? The Toadies also played. Great times. I had heard that he would come in carted upside down, and sure enough they ran him through the crowd upside down (i think) in a hannibal mask on a dolly lol. Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey is a must watch live performance, whether you like country or not. Its absolutely amazing.
Man, you've got to get some Elvis Presley live performances on the channel. "Suspicious Minds" and "Love Me Tender" live from Vegas will blow your mind. Living near Memphis my whole life, I never knew. I just started the journey and it's insane how great Elvis was live. He breaks the 4th Wall and it's what made him unique.
its amazing how good he sounds despite being sick (or recovering from being sick) I think the Conan show even offered to record this on another day, but David being a true professional went ahead w/ the filming
Here is an older one, You might not have heard of or reacted to. The Guitarist Eric Johnson , doing Cliffs Of Dover - Live . It sounds amazing, and if you are a guitarist, and can understand what he is doing, and able to pull off, you will be moved and flabbergasted .
As always, thanks for your reaction(s) Luke. So enjoy you! David was unwell during this performance. The producers, knowing this, used auto-tune on him 'for insurance' ---- without his knowledge, or permission. He was pissed when he found out. Integrity.
In my opinion, this is a lot better than the official music video. Furthermore, this Conan O'Brian Show version is better than all the other live versions of this song I have seen. It has the mood lighting, the full orchestra, the ambiance really draws you in. Another music group I thought was really good on the Conan O'Brian Show was Skillet. I had never heard their music before and now I have two of their albums.
The entire production of this performance is just so on point and beautiful! His voice is amazing! I never thought I liked this genre of music but after hearing this song I really got into them and have several CDs. I'd love to see them live!
Damn, did not expect you to not know this one, this is my personal favorite live song of anything ever. The official is great, but how they managed to do it better live, I will never know, this is the version in my playlist.
I also love Disturbed cover of the Genesis classic 'Land Of Confusion'. It's just incredible. Draiman's voice gives me goosebumps. In fact my goosebumps have goosebumps of their own!
Geezus ! Since the beginning of my journey with you, I have been asking for 2 reactions , 1- Disturbs Sound of Silence, and 2 - BTS’s cover of Coldplay’s Fix You. Finally, one gets done ! And to think David was sick during this performance ! Now…….I’ll be waiting for my #2. Fix You , Fix You , Fix You cover by BTS please ! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
A freaken Masterpiece. What more can I say that I haven't said every time I watch this performance. I especially like when Disturbed fans watch for the first time. Great reaction.
The MV version is great, no doubt about it. This version though is perfection. I've also been a fan for many years, first hearing "The Game" my senior year in high school, a friend had me take him to the store to get the CD the day it came out. Unfortunately I've never been their live show, I had backstage tickets and front row seats for their 2020 tour with staind but covid canceled that. Great reaction.
Disturbed and A7X, that must have been a show to remember! Not jealous at all. /sarc Draiman really does have an incredible voice and M Shadows has really come a long way as a vocalist too. This, the MV or the live, will always give me chills. It's a powerful song to start but what Disturbed did with it is so masterful.
So, so many snobs and elitists bash Disturbed and call them "mainstream metal" or "overproduced sounding sellouts" and crap while clinging to other big names, and it's such a shame because David Draiman has probably one of the most unique, beautiful voices in the entire metal scene (Except for maybe Mike Patton, though I'm not really sure which genre his bands are in haha). It takes a LOT of talent to be able to switch up tones as he does so effortlessly, from pure to the gritty metal and vice versa. He's also capable of going low and high beyond what you would expect from his baseline. What I really respect about him is that he just makes music he wants to make, he shocked the entire world when he sang this song because nobody had any idea he could actually sing. He's not trying to win anyone's favor, he and the band just come up with what they want to do. Turns out that "overproduced sound" so many people whine about is just actually something he can do with his voice! Too bad the people who think they're better than everyone else for rejecting Disturbed will never appreciate that haha.
I was also at the concert with avenged 7x. The funny thing was soo many people left after disturbed finished before A7 came on. Showed who the true headliners should have been!
For people like us to have always loved them this just proves what we all always said. They are talented. That's what we told every Downer that ever told us any bullcrap about them or around them or whatever. Them performing this song on this night proved that we were not wrong and they can all kiss our butts and I hope that those of you that understand this feel good about this and the rest of you I'm sorry have a great day goodbye
I've seen so many reaction videos where they say they haven't heard of Queen and then react to something like Bohemian Rhapsody. Like what??? I appreciate the honesty!
Knowing that David had a bleeding vocal cord and that there was a specialist back stage in case something went horribly wrong. Paul Simon saw this performance and emailed David that he liked this one and put it on his playlist. He did put a link of this video on his socials
I love this version and grew up with Simon & Garfunkel. I felt that David actually did this the way that it was originally intended but S&G couldn't at the time. You do that David was ill at the time but didn't want to cancel the appearance on the show. Yeah, you have to listen to it really closely and there is a difference. That said, he is stunning, amazing and spine chilling sick or not! Love this!!!
I really enjoyed your enthusiasm for the live version. I'm gonna go old school and recommend Jimmy Hendricks All along the watchtower it's truly mind blowing. Disturbers lead singer is David DRAIMAN my mentor, hero and vocal wet dream!! Lol
Heart, singing Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honor Awards. Have you done that one yet? Do you know Heart on your side of the pond? It’s an epic performance
Fellow Disturbed fan here. And yes this live one is really awesome. Some artists perfoming live are what make or break it for me. I mean, just check some artists over at FIRST TAKE channel. A ton of anime songs from the respective artists being performed in one sitting. I think they have some deal with Sony since they even brought Avril Lavigne for a song recently.
I can't believe it's taking you all this long to love this soulful disturbing awesomeness I just love it I play it when I'm sad but it makes silence and it's disturbing happiness that overwhelms me just freaking awesome
As probably mentioned in other comments, He was very badly sick during this performance. The reason why he was on the stool, was that he couldn't actually stand for longer periods at that moment. Supposedly he had a fever of around 103 f, which is about 39 c.
Here are some other great covers to check out. Chris Cornell - "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Prince Cover) [Live @ SiriusXM] | Lithium Five Finger Dead Punch - "Blue On Black ft Kenny W. Shepherd, Brantley Gilbert & Brian May" (make sure it has the features there are 2 versions.) Five Finger Dead Punch - "Bad Company"
A fun band to try would be "I Don't Know How But They Found Me." They always have a unique touch to their song's with a bit of satire. Like "Leave Me Alone," "Do It All The Time," and Nobody Likes The Opening Band."
FLORENCE + THE MACHINE! It's really hard to narrow it down to just one song with her, she's just sounds exactly the same whether live or in the studio. But when she's live (most of the time) she's also bouncing and running around the stage while ALSO singing flawlessly! But if I had to pick... Dog days are over 2010 Oxygen live show. But really anything from them will be a bangger.
This is LONG overdue!! FINALLY!! 💜

Fiesta pagana, from Mago de Oz live. You wont regret it
Or We are form One ok rock 18 fes. Amazing

I cried when I first heard his version, it really does stand out from other versions of this song. Thanks for the reaction Luke! I love watching all of these. xx
David's voice is amazing, but on The Sound of Silence, it's so stunningly beautiful and powerful. He has one of the best voices ever, IMO!
💯💯
It's amazing that he was able to give such a performance. If I remember correctly, he was either recovering from a cold/flu or was still sick when he gave that performance.
When you think about how amazing this was and the fact he was ill... Mind blowing
He was sick and the producers were pushing for him to use auto tune but he kept refusing. They used it at one spot and afterwards he went off on them.
Yeah, he’s sitting on a stool because he was so sick with the flu he couldn’t stand. They were preparing to replace them but he refused and did THIS. David is a beast.
@@GOTGames yeah he was sick thats why he's sitting
what? He was ill and he... did this?!!??!?! amazed... whoa.
One of the best male vocalists I have ever heard. One of my all time favourite performances.
💯💯💯
Well Luke, I’m usually here for all things BTS but I love this performance by disturbed. David has an incredible voice and was quite sick when he recorded this. I’m so excited, never clicked so fast💜
We just had to have this video on here! So glad I got to finally hear this live performance 💜💯

You should check out their song Hold on to Memories. The official video…it’s incredible. Currently relevant since we just celebrated Dia de los Muertos on November 1st. You will love it!
Hahahaha your face and reaction say it all! I too love David and Disturbed but it’s clear….the talent he has is frikkin unbelievable! My favorite version of this song hands down and I’m 61!

In my opinion, this is a lot better than the official music video. Furthermore, this Conan O'Brian Show version is better than all the other live versions of this song I have seen. It has the mood lighting, the full orchestra, the ambiance really draws you in.
Another music group I thought was really good on the Conan O'Brian Show was Skillet. I had never heard their music before and now I have two of their albums.
If I remember, Simon and Garfunkel actually said this was better than their original. And should be considered the official version
The entire production of this performance is just so on point and beautiful! His voice is amazing! I never thought I liked this genre of music but after hearing this song I really got into them and have several CDs. I'd love to see them live!
This is one of the most amazing covers I’ve ever heard ,this iconic song taken to another level !
I saw them in concert and took my daughter and SHE LOVED THEM!! I just love them!
Love your reaction! Thanks for being as enthusiastic as I feel about this amazingly powerful song and performance!
This is one of my favorite live songs. Just awesome! Plus it's nice seeing a little more variety on the channel.
Damn, did not expect you to not know this one, this is my personal favorite live song of anything ever. The official is great, but how they managed to do it better live, I will never know, this is the version in my playlist.
I also love Disturbed cover of the Genesis classic 'Land Of Confusion'. It's just incredible. Draiman's voice gives me goosebumps. In fact my goosebumps have goosebumps of their own!
I followed through your NF journey... This just popped on my feed ..I thought I know him- I've missed him.
Such a great reactor!
Emotionally chilling. I’ve been watching reaction videos to this song, all night, and everyone reacted the same!
Geezus ! Since the beginning of my journey with you, I have been asking for 2 reactions , 1- Disturbs Sound of Silence, and 2 - BTS’s cover of Coldplay’s Fix You. Finally, one gets done ! And to think David was sick during this performance ! Now…….I’ll be waiting for my #2. Fix You , Fix You , Fix You cover by BTS please ! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
A freaken Masterpiece. What more can I say that I haven't said every time I watch this performance. I especially like when Disturbed fans watch for the first time. Great reaction.
The MV version is great, no doubt about it. This version though is perfection. I've also been a fan for many years, first hearing "The Game" my senior year in high school, a friend had me take him to the store to get the CD the day it came out. Unfortunately I've never been their live show, I had backstage tickets and front row seats for their 2020 tour with staind but covid canceled that. Great reaction.
Disturbed and A7X, that must have been a show to remember! Not jealous at all. /sarc Draiman really does have an incredible voice and M Shadows has really come a long way as a vocalist too. This, the MV or the live, will always give me chills. It's a powerful song to start but what Disturbed did with it is so masterful.
Yes an awesome song , great to sing along with after a few beers glad you came across it, great to see you going strong well done
Your joy is soooo infectious - I love it! Instant mood lifter, so thanks 😊
Best cover of any song I've ever heard, period.
A voice so powerful. When he turns it loose, it walks a line between strength and violence
So, so many snobs and elitists bash Disturbed and call them "mainstream metal" or "overproduced sounding sellouts" and crap while clinging to other big names, and it's such a shame because David Draiman has probably one of the most unique, beautiful voices in the entire metal scene (Except for maybe Mike Patton, though I'm not really sure which genre his bands are in haha). It takes a LOT of talent to be able to switch up tones as he does so effortlessly, from pure to the gritty metal and vice versa. He's also capable of going low and high beyond what you would expect from his baseline. What I really respect about him is that he just makes music he wants to make, he shocked the entire world when he sang this song because nobody had any idea he could actually sing. He's not trying to win anyone's favor, he and the band just come up with what they want to do.
Turns out that "overproduced sound" so many people whine about is just actually something he can do with his voice! Too bad the people who think they're better than everyone else for rejecting Disturbed will never appreciate that haha.
I was also at the concert with avenged 7x. The funny thing was soo many people left after disturbed finished before A7 came on. Showed who the true headliners should have been!
This song HAD to wait this long to be perfect and finally express that raw emotional experience they’ve always intended ❤😢
For people like us to have always loved them this just proves what we all always said. They are talented. That's what we told every Downer that ever told us any bullcrap about them or around them or whatever. Them performing this song on this night proved that we were not wrong and they can all kiss our butts and I hope that those of you that understand this feel good about this and the rest of you I'm sorry have a great day goodbye
I've seen so many reaction videos where they say they haven't heard of Queen and then react to something like Bohemian Rhapsody. Like what??? I appreciate the honesty!
This man Is so full of energy.... I love this channel!!!!! ❤️
Knowing that David had a bleeding vocal cord and that there was a specialist back stage in case something went horribly wrong. Paul Simon saw this performance and emailed David that he liked this one and put it on his playlist. He did put a link of this video on his socials
I love your reaction! David is my vocal and lyrical hero!! You just got my sub buddy😍😁😘
I love this version and grew up with Simon & Garfunkel. I felt that David actually did this the way that it was originally intended but S&G couldn't at the time. You do that David was ill at the time but didn't want to cancel the appearance on the show. Yeah, you have to listen to it really closely and there is a difference. That said, he is stunning, amazing and spine chilling sick or not! Love this!!!
I really enjoyed your enthusiasm for the live version. I'm gonna go old school and recommend Jimmy Hendricks All along the watchtower it's truly mind blowing. Disturbers lead singer is David DRAIMAN my mentor, hero and vocal wet dream!! Lol
Heart's cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" from Lincoln Center Honors. Your enthusiasm is always infectious! 🙂❤
My husband is lucky, he got to see them in concert. He said they are amazing
My favourite live rock performance is Alter Bridge’s Words Darker Than Their Wings live at the Royal Albert Hall. It’s incredible!
He let me hear what I didn’t know the song meant. This man can “sang”!
Heart, singing Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honor Awards. Have you done that one yet? Do you know Heart on your side of the pond? It’s an epic performance
Simon and Garfunkel sounded a warning, Disturbed went to war, Pentatonix gives hope for the future, maybe you need to check out their version as well
On the official version of disturbed's cover of this song has visuals that add so much more depth to the song
Disturbed моя самая любимая группа! А эту песню всегда слушаю, едва сдерживая слезы.
My favorite album of Disturbed is Indestructible with the title track Indestructible being my favorite song from Disturbed.
Fellow Disturbed fan here.
And yes this live one is really awesome.
Some artists perfoming live are what make or break it for me.
I mean, just check some artists over at FIRST TAKE channel. A ton of anime songs from the respective artists being performed in one sitting. I think they have some deal with Sony since they even brought Avril Lavigne for a song recently.
I can't believe it's taking you all this long to love this soulful disturbing awesomeness I just love it I play it when I'm sad but it makes silence and it's disturbing happiness that overwhelms me just freaking awesome
As probably mentioned in other comments, He was very badly sick during this performance. The reason why he was on the stool, was that he couldn't actually stand for longer periods at that moment. Supposedly he had a fever of around 103 f, which is about 39 c.
Just so you know Paul Simon sent him an e-mail about how awesome he did this cover
The lead singer had the flu if i'm not mistaken when they did this song which is why he's sitting down!
Yep! Supposedly he had a 103f/39c fever during the performance! Which makes it all the more incredible.
It was an insane performance! That would’ve been awesome to see live.
This is my favourite song from Disturbed😻
Lead singer of Disturbed is David Draiman☺️
Here are some other great covers to check out.
Chris Cornell - "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Prince Cover) [Live @ SiriusXM] | Lithium
Five Finger Dead Punch - "Blue On Black ft Kenny W. Shepherd, Brantley Gilbert & Brian May" (make sure it has the features there are 2 versions.)
Five Finger Dead Punch - "Bad Company"
David was trained classically. His voice is one of a kind, epic
Such a distinct, powerful voice. And one of the best growls, screams in metal. A few bars into a song, you know it’s Disturbed.
I actually got to see them perform this live for my birthday this year!!!! It was incredible!!! Honestly felt like an out of body experience.
So awesome!!
The best cover of sound of silence ever
A fun band to try would be "I Don't Know How But They Found Me." They always have a unique touch to their song's with a bit of satire. Like "Leave Me Alone," "Do It All The Time," and Nobody Likes The Opening Band."
FLORENCE + THE MACHINE! It's really hard to narrow it down to just one song with her, she's just sounds exactly the same whether live or in the studio. But when she's live (most of the time) she's also bouncing and running around the stage while ALSO singing flawlessly!
But if I had to pick... Dog days are over 2010 Oxygen live show.
But really anything from them will be a bangger.
Your reaction was so pure. Thank you so much.
Watching your face and your honest reactions was pure enjoyment
