"Although on the TaunT channel I do already reaction videos, it was time to do some solo as well. Over here I can choose myself (at TaunT I never know what is coming) and I can go deeper into the lyrics from a mental health perspective . I will primarily react as a mom but I am also bringing my years as a therapist and mental health counselor on the table"
Most of all, I would love to react to all kinds of music and hope you will offer suggestions for songs you think I need to react to DM me on instagram.

I totally not expected this !!!
After all the comments I had to listen to the live version too… it’s on our Patreon
www.patreon.com/TaunTFamily?
Your reaction is gold.
Thank you !!
@@Citizenh4ndy that is so sweet, thank you !
No-one does. Paul Simon said he never knew he was writing this for David.
Oh-wah-ah-ah-ah!
It is a beautiful arrangement, although I think the live version is much better.
If you want a much "heavier" metal ballad, I'd highly recommend Dark tranquility - Forward Momentum:
th-cam.com/video/1jKmnCGhhUs/w-d-xo.html
There's harsh vocals and clean vocals - and it feels like the song is way too short, although it's full length.
Also there is a really nice Middle-Eastern/Oriental metal band called Orphaned Land that makes very unquiet music.
They also have ballads like
ORPHANED LAND - Let The Truce Be Known
th-cam.com/video/eEUJlxevrGk/w-d-xo.html
and
ORPHANED LAND - Brother
th-cam.com/video/qsPb1-uPIic/w-d-xo.html
but also much cooler songs...
I've learned that David Draiman and Disturbed address depression, addiction and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the⁶ most popular, loved bands of our time!❤😊
Truly they’re not one of the most popular bands (unfortunately) but honestly if people stopped and actually listened to disturbed, hopefully they will ACTUALLY LISTEN to people who truly want help but have never had their voice heard.
Art Garfunkel with a voice of an Angel sang a song of what people were doing to each other, David Draiman with the voice of an Avenging Angel with sword held high and eyes filled with fire sang a song of what people had done to each other. Both versions with the same words, but both with different meanings, my opinion.
that's great.
Well said !
That statement was as profound as both versions of the song itself. Thank you.
We are one. One Nation under God! We need to find our way back to each other…
God to David. Do you want the voice of an Angel or Demon? David YES
This is hands-down the best song I have ever heard in my life. And I'll be 51 later this month. The song does go right through your heart and into your soul. Very very powerful.
As my parents brought me up on simon and garfunkel. This song is very special to me. This is more special them ever as I can connect with my family on how we experienced silence in our life's. Great work Disturbed you truly understand emotions behind lyrics.
Like you, I was a fan of the original, but this guy delivers the message of the song in such a deep reaching way.....He delivered the essence of the song.
It's reactions like this is the reason WHY I like watching them. Watching people's faces as they light up and react to something in such a POSITIVE way. And seeing how a piece touches them in a deep way.
Thank you!!! 🥰
I agree with you totally. Well written.
Concur. You can tell that there's goosebumps on people's arms when they hear the songs for the first time.
Power. Plain and simple. Keep Rockin’, Dave
I still remember my first time hearing it, having grown up listening to the original, it blew my mind and I cried like a baby. It hit me on a much deeper level than the original. I've watched hundreds and hundreds of these reactions, and I still cry when I listen to it. It's such a powerful composition and performance. For me, it's absolutely beautiful.. I loved your reaction MommaTaunT :)
Thank you 🥰
I'm so relieved to hear you cried, like you I remember the original so well, but this also made me cry 😢
@@babtist58 There's nothing wrong with being affected by such powerful music my friend :)
Tbh, If I watch a reaction and someone doesn't physically react to the Raw power of the song, I'll just turn it off. Maybe it's a little judgemental of me, but for me, if this song isn't connecting with the deepest parts of someone's soul, then they're truly lost, an I'm not really interested in what they have to say lol. For me, Music is such a powerful language.. I say good on ya for shedding those tears. Sometimes we just have to let it out
I love watching people's reactions to this song. It's so beautiful. You don't really get tired of hearing it.
I'm the same. xx
Simon & Garfunkel with the lyrics was ahead of its time. They told what was happening and what would happen and Disturbed called out what IS happening now. Love it!
Another Beautiful Disturbed song is Hold on to the memories, it is gorgeous.
I knew you would love this. David Draiman, the singer, is a classically trained cantor. Disturbed is definitely metal and they’ve been around since like the late 90s. Their first album, The Sickness, is just iconic to me. I’ve heard this song probably 200 times, and I cried with you. I cry every time. They also have covers of If I Ever Lose My Faith by Sting, and Land of Confusion by Genesis that are both so good. Their whole body of original work is really great. I hope you check out more! Oh, and there is a live version of this from Conan that is somehow even better than the studio/video. Thank you 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for this one Carrie … I loved every minute of it ❤
It's hard rock NOT metal.
@@travisyarbrough4033 Ok.
following your breadcrumbs as i pursue all the reactions as you have already... what a tremendous performance.
The live version is simply incredible!!!
Grew up with Simon and Garfunkel but Disturbed OWNS this song. Absolutely LOVE it and the video as well. What a beautiful voice!!! Have listened to it many, many times and it still gives me chills every time.
THERE IS NO WAY, KATH....
SIMON AND GARFUNKEL MADE THIS SONG...AND TONS OF OTHERS....CLASSICS.
IF YOUVE EVER LOVED WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE...BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS TELLS YOUR STORY LIKE NO ONE ELSE EVER COULD....IM 67...AND DYING OF COPD, BUT SONGS LIKE THESE GIVE HOPE...AND WARNINGS....BUT HUMANS WILL NOT LISTEN...SO WE WILL DESTROY OURSELVES. IT IS INEVITABLE...
I saw this cover on different reaction channels and didn’t listen to it because I knew That they were very metal and I love the original. By the time I finally listened to it I was blown away 😊 there is a live version on late night with Conan O’Brien that I actually like more than the studio version 😊 I have heard the song at least 50 times and it still gives me chills
I will have to do that in my live stream then 😉
If you didn't know, David was actually sick that day on Conan and he still performed it that well. Imagine how it would've been had he been in top shape.
@@r4g1ngph03n1x I actually heard about that before I watched it and wouldn’t have guessed it in a million years. Pretty impressive
@@r4g1ngph03n1x David said he was really nervous while waiting backstage. He probably got stoned and then claimed he was sick to explain the symptoms.
Theres a version with Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge that is even better.
Your reaction was one of the best, purest, and emotional that I’ve seen…I so appreciate you letting David’s vocals infuse your soul without pausing the video multiple times…
You’re a sweet gem!
Blessings,
🦋Lily🦋
Thank you ❤️
It's almost impossible for me to listen to this song without tearing up. This is such a beautiful song and such an amazing tribute to the original.
It is
I think it's better than the original
I watched half a dozen reaction videos to this song and each time got goosebumps and near tears. I heard this song when in first came from Simon & Garfunkel but this version really brings it home. Loved to see your reaction to it.
Thank you
they should win the oscar for the best rendition ever
Heavy Metal is not always considered such, due to the instruments, but sometimes due to the text. It is something some people forget sometimes.
The original was the warming of what people are becomg, but disturbed said "you didnt yeild to the warming, now you NEED to listen!"
Paul Simon himself has given accolades to David Draiman and Disturb's interpretation of his song.
It’s ok to let the tears flow. I get chills every time I listen to this. I enjoy watching people listening and reacting for the first time. 😊
Thank you
When I was first told about this cover, I didn't believe anyone could cover a S&G song and make it better.
I was wrong. I love this song
Me too
Haha, I was shocked and cautious about Disturbed covering this song. Saying I was "pleasantly surprised" is a huge understatement.
Well said 😉
Disturbed it quite a classic "heavy metal" band, that does a lot of speedy guitar riffs with distortion, screaming, growling but most of the time melodic singing to quite an agressive kind of music. Disturbed is one of the 'must know' bands when you call yourself a metalhead. maybe not as famous as iron maiden, ACDC or manowar or alike, but they've got a lot of really heavy songs with catchy hooks. especially their riffs.
When i first heard "The Sound of silence" i thought right before - really ? they dared to 'metalize' one of the greatest rock ballades of all time ? (beside stairway to heaven and hotel california) and then i suddenly bursted out in tears. So much passion, so much anger, dissapointment and fear - this whole series of emotions packed into a song... a COVER song....
it instantly became my most beloved cover song of all times. PERIOD.
it instantly became to me, even better than the original.
it instantly became the new "the one song" to show to people who dont like metal. Before that i had some nightwish songs to show but THIS totally blew me away and hit me cold and unprepared. it still gets me today when i hear that song.
YRS old Mom the first time I heard this it had the same effect on me. Disturbed helped me hear the lyrics in a way I never had. This is why Paul Simon said "The song now belongs to them". A vocal coach reactor said that the S&G version was a warning and Disturbed's version was their way of telling us we did not heed the warning. I loved your reaction and I wanted to give you some artist I think you would really enjoy. Morissette Amon. Start with "Never Enough" on the 107.5 WISH bus. Back that up with "Akin Ka Na Lang" from the same WISH bus. It is in Tagalog but has great subtitles. Angelina Jordan. Listen to her at 9yrs old doing "I Put A Spell On You". Then go to her AGT audition doing "Bohemian Rhapsody". It will make you hear this song in a whole new way that I didn't think possible. K Z Tandingan, Please check out both versions of "Rolling In The Deep" on The Singer 2018 and the WISH bus. This woman can perform. I look forward to your next reaction and PLEASE BE WELL.
Thank you !
So glad you commented about S&G reaction to this song this as many people don't know what you have said (& it saved me having to do so)
Simon and Garfunkel tried to warn us. Damian somehow is full of anger that we did not hear.
This song it is a master piece of Simon&Garfunkel but Disturbed just made justice to this song. The power, raspiness and determination of the singer, just touch every sentiment in your soul! This is what supose to be music, the joy and sorrow of music, the love and sadness in it.
Try "A reason to fight" or "hold on to memories" they are both powerful lighter songs by disturbed
I will definitely listen to more
OOH, I forgot Hold Onto Memories. Thats a solid one too. They also did a heavier cover of "Land of Confusion" (originally by Genesis) that is pretty good if you're familiar with that song. Most people know Genesis and Phil Collins :p
People like to dismiss covers as money grabs or whatever, but a WELL crafted song as you pointed out, will be great in any genre. I love both versions of it- original like a warning, this as a "Well, you didn't get it, did you?" sort of thing. One of the greatest songs I've heard in my 60 yrs. on this Earth.
The Light by Disturbed is in their normal style and if you watch the official video you will be filled with hope and light.
can't remember which one, but one of the original artist was brought to tears by this version. "Heavy Metal Singers can't actually sing..." they said... David Draiman of Disturbed: "Here, hold my, OHHH-WAH-AH-AH-AH!!!!" ... to me, it is like the original was a warning, and Distrubed's version was rage that the warning went "unheard".
That tear, I still feel it after listening to it many times.
One thing that the video does for me is help convey the story so strongly. The despair and rage at so many people living empty lives, if only they would listen.
I never get tired of watching people react to this for the first time. Upon seeing it done live on Conan Paul Simon contacted David Draiman to tell him how much he liked it and apparently it's the only cover that Paul Simon ever linked on his social media page
I did react to the live version on my Patreon after so many people telling me that I have to see it 🥰
When Paul Simon heard David perform this on the Conan show, he made a point of emailing him to let him know how impressed he was and went further by directing his fans on all his social media accounts to this performance! 👏😍 Apolgies to David - but I have a recommendation for you to discover someone who has been claimed to have the best voice in the world by everyone who has discovered him. Briefly, his name is Dimash Kudaibergen, from Kazakhstan, born in 1994, height 192cm, has a voice that covers over 7 octaves, is classically trained. Dimash was catapulted into popularity in 2017 when he competed at the The Singer competition in China. He was drawn as a wildcard to enter, and was the first ever non-Chinese and the youngest ever contestant to perform AND he was first to start (no pressure!) …. this is the performance that captured the hearts of over 600 million viewers overnight and brought Dimash to the attention of the world - all of us with our jaws on our chests. He sings in 13 different languages and plays 7 different instruments. NB: this is a 2017 performance and every single one from then to the present is as perfect and mind-blowing!🔥🚀😱!! Here's the link to SOS (d’un terrien en détresse - translation: SOS (an earthling/human in distress) which comes from a famous 1978 Canadian-French rock/punk opera called Starmania. The video has a brief background story to the song and competition. Enjoy!! th-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/w-d-xo.html He is magnificent. ☮❤ Sea Point, Cape Town
Run on and on and on ...... Nobodies readings a fyn book.
@@randallcox6573 Your spelling would improve if you did read....just saying....Randall
The Universe has gotten to know itself through us and how hubris indeed it has become.
We are merely the Universe opening an eye before it rolls back over to slumber. The Sound of Silence.
Loved Simon and Garfunkle. THIS however, stands among the greatest cover songs of all time. A cover that equals and maybe even surpasses the original. Most DECIDEDLY a worthy successor. And your genuine reaction to it was as heartening as the song itself :)
Thank you 😊
As a mother you are filled with Devine Feminine Beauty and energy. And this song speaks to the soul. Because the way that the human race is heading. We have the sad possibility of losing our speech and hearing. And more or less be soulless and just a meat robot. A deep DEEP meaningful message
Thank you ❤️
@@MommaTaunT you are welcome, peace be with you 🙏 from Australia
Thank you "Momma TaunT" for the good music from Germany. The sound of silence from Disturbed- super!
I spent 2 months in a monastery listening only to this song a few years ago. It makes me think of those lonely nights in a far away land.
Disturbed is my all time fave band. They are heavy metal and have many wonderful songs in that genre and in ballads. David is classically trained. He can hit any note and sing any song. Check out No More, A Reason to Fight and The Light and Hold on to the memories.
Very much atypical of Disturbed's music. If you want something else like this, try their cover of Sting's 'If I Ever Loose My Faith in You'. Something more in line with their usual style? 'Down with the Sickness' is the one that put them on the map.
Listen to the Light and Hold on to Memories, two of their softer songs. I'm a 70 y o grandma and I totally love this heavy metal band.
He is amazing . His vocals are haunting .
It's the alarm clock syndrome. Simon and Garfunkel gave a wake up call. Stained telling you your late
Its a visceral experience listening to this song for the first time. And for the 1000 times after as well
When I heard this.. I was speechless and had tears in my eyes.
This song has so many different meanings... When schools, especially public schools from kindergarten through high school, run out of funding, the first programs they cut ✂️ are the art's, music, theater, etc. Also, ISOLATION, DIVISION, LONELINESS, NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS OR EXPRESSING OURSELVES AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, I could go on and on.
There is another great rendition of this song, And it was song by Henk Poort for Floor Janssen from the band Nightwish.
Henk Poort is a Dutch opera and musical singer and actor and is well known for his role as Phantom of the Opera.
Lloyd Webber told people that Henk was his favorite Phantom because of his voice and acting.
Henk is a Baritone, And when he started singing everyone on the couch was very impressed, because he came in so low that everything including the couch was vibrating and shaking.
For Henk it was the first time he distorted his voice while singing especially for Floor., seeing she is very big in the metal scene.
Fan's of Nightwish call her the Valkyrie Queen of Metal.
Some fun facts: Floor is a fan of Henk since she was a child and saw the Phantom of the Opera, Also everyone on the couch calls Henk Poort, Uncle Henk.
Here part of the Show Beste Zangers with Intro and Outro of the Song:
th-cam.com/video/IT7cYMDDCFQ/w-d-xo.html
Also I can recommend you checking out the other Songs Floor Janssen did during this show they are all on another level.
One of the songs is the Lady Gaga song Shallow after hearing the rendition Floor did I can't even listen to the original anymore.
I know Henk … when I was a singer , we shared the stage 😉
I'm joining the line of people saying they've been fans of Disturbed from the sickness lol. Another great cover is sting's if I ever lose my faith in you
The "Oh my God...! " is the best acknowledgment of what you felt...
Thank you 🥰

You really need to see the LIVE Version on The Conan O'brian Show 2016. By the way, Paul Simon Heard this cover of his song and Loved it so much that he adds it to his Playlist. He told Disturbed that this is now their song. Paul Simon's Version was a Warning, Disturbed's Version was Angry that the Warning wasn't Heeded!!!! If you want to hear another Beautiful song by Disturbed Listen to Hold on to Memories. It will Touch your Heart.❤
What a great compliment from the master himself, and so well deserved!
David Draiman is a classically trained Opera and Cantor singer in church as a kid
I love that you cry when moved. I do also ♥ My first time hearing this song, my 20TH time listening to Floor in Nightwish ☺ Thank you for loving music. I feel the same way, it doesn't matter the genre, what counts is if it makes you feel. 👏 👏 👏
Thank you for your kind words .. I do feel like such a cry baby sometimes
This is sounds of pain & darkness. I love it so much.
So glad you felt it!! Best cover ever!!!
Did anyone notice when he sings about vision planted in his Brain, well look at the next shot where the timpani is taken out of the tree, it looks like a rudimentary version of the veins and arteries of the neck and head. You can see the image resembles many basic images of the blood vessels.
This song has so many little things that visually match what he is singing though sometimes you don't notice it the first few times, even at the end as the boat crosses over the sun comes up to chase away darkness .
The live version on the Conan show will blow your mind if you ever get the chance to watch it. Also one that might tug at your heart strings is the band Hearts cover of Stairway to Heaven live at the Kennedy Center Honors. Peace to you and yours pretty lady ❤️
Thank you !
Two PERFECT recommendations from you, Ken. Really enjoyed your reaction, thank you!
And he did the Conan show sick
David was sick during the Company performance and to me was not as good as the official music video. That being said, to be able to perform at all while sick is awesome.
YES STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN YES!!!
Very few people remain unaffected by this. Tears, rocking back, goosebumps, or combinations. Thank you, I appreciated listening to your reaction.
Thank you
I discovered this band 2 years ago when this version popped on TH-cam and I too get goosebumps every-time! When this video was originally released in 2015, Paul Simon contacted the band and let them know that they now owned the song.
You should listen to another Disturbed song..."Hold on to Memories." It's another good one. Thanks for your genuine reaction. ♡
Disturbed is a group I grew up on and they are in my opinion one of the greatest. They put on a hell of a show. They are a must see in person
There are 3 songs where the cover/alternstive version takes it all to a completly different level.
Sound of silence - Disturbed
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Mein Herz Brennt (piano version) - Rammstein (there is a version with English text)
You get sucked in because of the pain, the beauty, the art, the relatability. They make the song their own, and add so much
I would add Pink Floyd's High Hopes - Nightwish
He really gets ya don't he?
The original sounded like a warning. This version projects the rage of that warning being ignored.
great appreciation for the original lends to the emotional support for this cover as you can appreciate it so much better.
True
the original was for a different time where there was hope...now this version is more powerful darker and anger comes out as this new era we are in did not fulfill the hope...we now live in dangerous times and the young today are seeing less hope for a better tomorrow...David owns this song now for a new generation.
Listen to Hold on to Memories, and also A Reason to Fight. They show the band as it reaches out to its listeners. I suggest the live versions of both to see the reactions of their audiences.
The original S&G version was to softly sung for what the song was saying. Which was about people not speaking up against the injustice in the world. I think this version more accurately portrays the intent of the song and says something about the break down AND Cancel Culture caused by the internet in the words "People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never shared. No one dared disturb the sound of silence.".
David Draiman has the best voice in hard rock and metal! Beautiful reaction to a powerful arrangement of an all-time classic! I was crying by the end as well ❤
❤️
watching the first time.... THE NEON GOD THEY MADE... watch it hit. boom. fantastic.
Kudos for not stopping at the end of each verse, but listening to it as it’s building up!
Thank you … for me this works best
David and Disturbed are awesome! David is off the chart with his voice. I love metal/heavy metal and so many great bands are out there. Love Chester and LP as well. David and Chester were friends and I think each band pushed the other to grow and go into different genres!
Well Momma Taun T, what a beautiful Lady and it's no shame you shed a tear, they did a marvelous job with this song. Few people could do it justice but even Paul Simon commended them on it.
I listen primarily to country and old Rock that I grew up on. Always appreciating the Country like Blues got it's start in Gospel. Chris Stapleton has many songs of his own and remakes that he does wonderful on, maybe he will fall into your reaction list? I've always been a fan of Johnny Cash but with the state of the world and our United States of America, his "RAGGED OLD FLAG" raises pride and tears. Please consider that song along with "MAGGIES SONG" a story of Chris's family dog.
Much Love and Respect to you young lady. Seeing a beautiful woman caring is what true Beauty is!
You are in my prayers
Hoka hey
Thank you ☺️
This cover was my (purely accidental) introduction to Disturbed...now, even as an "old lady", I love them. My favorite song from them would have to be "Hold On To Memories"; really hit me hard as I first heard it after a siblings' passing away. Will always be special to me...
You call yourself an old lady ??? What’s “old”?
I am so sorry for your loss, I can imagine this song is very special then for you 🙏
Both of these songs are truly beautiful.
me too, I'm 70 and now sport a tattoo on my left arm it says simply Hold on to memories lost my oldest and my youngest Sisters.. 6 months apart, my younger Sister was a Disturbed Fan.. went to concerts etc she was just 62 and I have inherited all David's music from her...
I find “Hold On To Memories so hard to listen to now after it was played at my friends kids funeral after suicide. He was 15. One of my kids was the same age and I squeezed them a bit extra the day I found out. I’d known the boy since he was a baby. Beautiful song though.
@@RaineyDaze22 I am so sorry for your loss 🙏
I have watched soooo many reactions to this and the live version, and I can't get enough of it.... Love David.....
It is amazing 🤩
The words of the profits are written on the subway walls and the tenement halls.
Every time I listen to this tear’s role down my face so touching
Same here
Disturbed are a band that cares about mental health and the fans, several of their songs deal with painful issues and mental health crisises. many of their songs are about real situations and experiences with breakdowns and drug problems. Other great songs that have elements dealing with mental health are "The Light", "A reason to fight", "Hold on to memories", "Inside the fire" or simply fantastic powerful songs like "The Vengeful One" or "Ten Thousand Fists"
The covers songs they do are always respectful to the originals and often more powerful than the original songs, Sound of Silence is a perfect case in point, the original was a plea for humanity to change its ways, Disturbed are angry that humanity did not listen and the world is falling apart as a result
Thank you
This is one of my favorite remakes😍😍😩 they did so amazing remaking this🔥🫶
disturbed have a lot of powerful songs , even bit quieter as the hole other stuff . Hold on memories , a reason to fight , uninvited guest, the light and many more
Try listening to Disturbed "Hold on to MEMORIES" it makes you emotional as well.
You are the first person that actually gave credit to Simon and Garfunkel!!!
How can you not ?
I have yet to see anyone on TH-cam reacting to Disturbed's version, play it through without stopping to comment. It's a damn shame!!!
By doing so the full impact and grandeur of this version is being missed. Please save reaction until it has been listened to uninterrupted.
I stopped once because I was flabbergasted .. if you had watched other videos … I never or hardly ever stop. I vibe on the song and at the end will say something. This time I was so mesmerized that I had to collect myself . And that one time was a honest , first impuls … sorry you don’t like it … but I cannot take it back . And al my viewers here know that I hardly stop so I can stay in the vibe. I get blocked for it all the time by TH-cam . Bit the few time I do stop, it’s always with reason and also here it was .
No one with a soul can not be moved by this rendition of of this song, David Draiman really uses the power of his voice to convey the anguish he feels of a society falling into silence as we stop talking to the person beside us & instead turn away from each other (the message of the original song) & into our cell phones. l love this video version more than the live performance as the graphics add so much to it like 5:33 where people with something to say are waiting for someone to say it that will be heard & the musicians are on their way. Granted the live version has more grit/intensity due to the fact that David was during the performance but this is my go to version. Music is magic & this is magical & needs to be heard more.
I did the live version on our patreon
Agreed.. I found it very PAINFUL to listen to Draiman's rendition. (As I feel he MEANT it to be.. the raw emotion... probably one of the BEST covers I've heard
)
Many things gain in expression when done as heavy metal version. Sound of silence in its original version has an expression, strength and depth, nothing can compare with... I am a sucker for melodic heavy metal, BUT nothing beats the S&G version.
So glad you appreciated this. Love the reaction. :)
You're going to love the 'live' version on Conan show!! My favorite song by Disturbed is 'Hold on to Memories'...another of their few ballads...but even at 65, I've been very impressed with their metal songs, both message and instrumentals. David is one of my favorite American male vocalists. I see that you've reacted to Eminem, but never Tom MacDonald, a very controversial rapper....he just dropped a new song on Friday that has everyone talking. I'd love to know what you think! Thank you for checking out Disturbed, you have a new subscriber. ARMY grandma
Thank you ! I did watch the live version too, I have put it on our patreon . I never heard of Tom MacDonald … I will look into it
Watch Wolfe Winters on Australia's Got Talent. More than I can explain. Saying this was legendary is a vast understatement.
this performance is extraordinary. This song needed a Heavy Metal guy to express that RAGE the lyrics mention.
great reaction. Nice to see you tearing up :) is like a bonus to me.
Thank you
Great cover reaction. To me Simon and Garfunkel were telling us back in the 60’s when I first heard the song as a teenager to get our shit together or the future won’t be pretty and David’s version here is saying oh well the shit has now hit the fan!!!!! Just saying. So says Austin Tx!!!! 😍😍😍🍸😎
Thank you 🥰
I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel in the 70s so The Sounds or Silence was very familiar to me but, this performance of the song blew me away several years ago when I discovered it too. So glad you had this opportunity to experience it too. ;-)
So did I , and I also grew up with the original 😉
Such a beautiful interpretation of the song. I have listened to it 200-300 times since I first heard it
Isn't it wonderful to be reminded that we are all part of a whole? ; )
The Light by Disturbed is an amazing song too, very powerful lyrics and well worth checking out 😀
Yes! And Hold on to Memories! I've put it into my final requests to have it played at my funeral. I'm not morbid, just old and unwell, and I think it will help my family.
Tracy Chapman "Fast Car", Bob Seger's "Night Moves", Goo Goo Dolls "Iris", Steve Winwood "Higher Love" :-)
Another song from Tracy Chapman that I love is "Give Me One Reason"; my favorite song from Steve Winwood (Blind Faith) is his acoustic version of "Can't Find My Way Home" (in front of a fireplace/10 yrs. ago)...awesome.
This song has been covered a lot, but I understand this is the only version Paul Simon himself has shared on his social media.
No matter how many times I hear it, this song just reaches down to my soul and gives me chills. David’s voice is absolutely phenomenal!! 🔥🔥
I only heard this version a little while ago and it's now my favourite version. It's amazing. I first heard this on the radio around the time the Bridge album came out in 1970 and I always liked it, but I never loved it. Until now that is.
This one makes me cry every time, all of a sudden I understood the meaning of this song. Ann from Norway
I can relate to that so much!!
One of the best male vocalists on the planet imho. He's also got range and amazing control. Btw Momma TaunT...I could not hear you at all ...and had trouble hearing the song....please turn up both...TY!
I did with the next video , thanks for the feedback
1:20 - Exactly, that's what silence sounds like! 😉
😂
You really need to see the Connan O'Brien performance. David was actually sick during that show. He is also one of those performers that is better live than on a recording.
I did and it’s on my Patreon
