    I’m 71. I lived though all of the music from the 60’s. To me this is the song best represents the 60s.
    Disturbed version is different... although the words are the same it’s a different experience... the message is different. Heavy.
    Simon and Garfunkel’s songs message was perfect for the 60’s, Disturbed’s versions timing is perfect for this disturbed world.

      I'm hearing you Brian. Paul Simon heard this version off their song, and has told David, the lead singer of Disturbed, that he now owns the song. He was that blown away, and that Disturbed has put the message across better than they, S&G, could ever do.

      I'm with you brother. We're the same age ... almost. I'm 72 but heard this song when it was first released. Then I went to Vietnam with the Marine Corps. Somehow, when I hear David Draiman's rendition, I become more grounded and a sense of peace prevails. I'm not sure why but I suspect it explains the rage I feel that we never listened to S&G's warning back then.

    "Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again" Paul Simon wrote this song in the 60's to describe peoples want to talk over others, but never listen to what the others have to say. Hence the line "People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening." He was a 20 something year old wanting to reach out to people and get them to understand one another. "take my voice that i might teach you, take my arms that i might reach you. But my words, like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence."

      Not only that but he was very prophetic. We did create a neon god with technology... and hardly anyone communicates the way we used to. It's all through social media. We bow down to it every day.

    • @Jedi4Life-u5y
      @Jedi4Life-u5y 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Respectfully, I disagree. The song was written in the 1960's. The era of counterculture where questioning authority became the norm. This included challenging the government's explanations for it's actions and not blindly accepting them as truth. This was seen in the protests and civil unrest over America's involvement in the Vietnam War. Set to a folk song tune, the words seem to be reminding everyone of the dangers of remaining silent on government policy; that a lot can be lost if we simply let it happen and don't stand up and protest. Fast forward 50 years and Disturbed's version of the same message is delivered in a much more angry fashion. Sort of "you didn't listen 50 years ago, now look where we are." It's a reminder of the age-old message that the only thing evil needs to triumph over good is silence by those watching. American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox put it best when she wrote:
      "To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men."
      My two cents, any way.
      Keep up the great work Sushi!

      jhowe67 I watched a interview with Paul Simon. He did write the song as a kind of protest but it was not against any Government or anything like that nor was it a prophecy. He wrote is because no record company would even give his songs a chance. The record companies said the “songs” were unsuitable for that time and age. But the song is one of the very rare ones where it did suit things in the 60’s and suits things now and will probably suit things 50 years from now. Love both versions lol

      That's what I want when I watch a "REACTION" video. That's one of the things I like about Sushi, her reactions. I get so tired of the majority pausing the video every 15 - 30 seconds to give their interpretation of the song, or comment on the singers outfit, or pretend they're a vocal coach. And no, they don't need to pause that much for copyright issues. Check a reactor out called DancingCoder, and see what he does. I like that a lot more than all the pauses.

      Geoff Tate from Queensryche has an amazing voice too or at least did back in the day. Operation Mindcrime (the album) really shows it off. Till Lindeman from Rammstein, Maynard Keenan from Tool, and many more all prove that "Metalheads" certainly can sing (though I guess Tool might be classified as Prog Rock).

  • @12211219
    @12211219 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My interpretation of this song, revised:
    This song is written with two separate people or consciousnesses singing
    it. Those that are waking up and those that have been awake for a very
    long time. The first, third and fifth verse is sung from the perspective
    of the unawakened and the second and forth verse are sung from the
    perspective of the awakened.
    Hello, darkness, my old friend
    I've come to talk with you again
    Because a vision softly creeping
    Left its seeds while I was sleeping
    And the vision that was planted in my brain
    Still remains
    Within the sound of silence
    Hello, darkness, my old friend is about people that have been kept in
    the dark and they're telling the darkness that they are experiencing
    something new in their vision. They (the awakened/aware ones) planted
    the seeds of truth/Light, and they are just starting to become aware.
    In restless dreams I walked alone
    Narrow streets of cobblestone
    'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
    I turned my collar to the cold and damp
    When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
    That split the night
    And touched the sound of silence
    There are fewer of the awakened, and they feel as if they are alone
    under the Light of truth, because they refused to by into the lies the
    dark has been trying to feed them. Then one day they saw a crack in
    the armor of dark, they saw a opportunity to break the sound of silence.
    And in the naked light I saw
    Ten thousand people, maybe more
    People talking without speaking
    People hearing without listening
    People writing songs that voices never share
    No one dared
    Disturb the sound of silence
    And in that moment they saw all of the light workers/star seeds
    (awakened Ones) telling
    those that were still asleep the truth/Light, through telepathy
    those that were sleeping heard and saw the truth/Light in a very subtle
    way,
    but yet they couldn't share this Light/truths with anyone for fear of
    being attacked
    by those that controlled the sound of silence.
    They wrote the truth in songs, the truth had to be give covertly as not
    to disturb the sound of silence (the dark). And when the people became
    aware of the
    Light/truth and realized that they had been in darkness the whole time,
    it really pissed them off.
    "Fools," said I, "You do not know
    Silence like a cancer grows
    Hear my words that I might teach you
    Take my arms that I might reach you."
    But my words like silent raindrops fell
    And echoed in the wells of silence
    They reached out to those still in slumber, trying to give them
    Light/truths, but they wouldn't open their minds to new truths, instead
    remained in the sound of silence.
    And the people bowed and prayed
    To the neon god they made
    And the sign flashed out its warning
    In the words that it was forming
    And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
    Are written on the subway walls
    And tenement halls
    And whispered in the sounds of silence."
    The people were so caught up in working hard to pay for all of the
    things, the boats, cars, electronics, all of the toys that they covet.
    They couldn't see or hear the truth, they were too distracted by
    consumerism. The awakened/prophets have been trying to tell them through
    their songs and poems, and that whisper of Light/truth awakened the
    people from their slumber and they became ONE. Did you notice the ship
    sailing into the Light at the end of the studio version?

    This was originally written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel in the 60’s. It’s a very prophetic song because it’s speaking about people worshipping technology over human contact. Which wasn’t even around in the 60’s. People say the original was warning us and this version by Disturbed has an angry vibe because it’s telling us now and we didn’t listen. Idk but man...this is hauntingly beautiful

  • @rohatmora5538
    @rohatmora5538 4 ปีที่แล้ว +87

    The original version was a warning against the rise of technology (Television / now 'social media') - causing less and less 'human' interaction (think about how people brag they have 6,000 'friends' on Facebook, or how people will 'text' someone whom is literately sitting next to them, rather than just 'talk' to them). Disturbed's version is equated to the 'rage' of someone because those warnings were not listened to - and how its becoming so 'uncomfortable' to even just 'talk' to someone without worrying about offending or being offended, because it feels easier to just 'use social media' instead of our own voices. The short version is its a warning about humanity losing what makes us 'human' - and instead embracing the 'neon god' (tech) which lets us 'communicate' but also leaves us in silence - and in turn is making us forget HOW to communicate with each other.

A studio audition led to the duo signing a record deal with Columbia Records, and the song was recorded in March 1964 at Columbia Studios in New York City for inclusion on their debut album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M..

    The original is by Simon & Garfunkel, and was a warning of what was to come, if we did not change our ways, & Disturbed's version, is anger, because we did not heed the warning.......💔 One of the best covers in my opinion ❤️

    David was trained as a cantor (Jewish Choir Leader)by his father and even though he chose to be a lead singer of a metal band he uses his cantor training to give himself far more range than most metal singer's.
    In this song he goes up and down the scale by 2 whole octave's and maintained total control of his voice
