David said when he came out of the recording booth after 3 hrs he couldn't looks the the others due to the tears in his own eyes from the emotions he was feeling. The others were thinking he must not have liked it because he wasn't looking at them but they were so far from the truth. To think he could feel that much emotion that he was crying himself says a lot.
If they ever come your way please do 👁👁them!!! They are one of the best Rock/Metal bands here in the USA worth listening to!!!!Rock on🤘🤟 Best re~make Ever of another Artists song with a message of ….todays, “tech world” in~person is becoming ~no longer
I have loved this song since I was 16 and now 65 i have always told my family that this song was to be played at my funeral but once I saw this video a while back I told my family this version is to be played no matter how old I get
This video has more power and emotional effect on me than the tv show performance, the whole dramatic reenactment of the lyrics and how David's whole face and body language are so filled with pathos and anger and regret just gives me chills.
After David finished with this song in the booth he was absolutely amazed. Stated in an interview that he had forgotten that his his voice could sound like that. David himself is a very kind, compassionate, intelligent man. Pull up his bio. He is a very diverse person. Huge advocate of suicide prevention, addiction awareness. He's a man to be admired.
I've seen many reactors cry both male and female. Someone reported that David was shocked the 1st time he sang it in concert and saw so many grown men cry. I've always known the lyrics to this song as it was sung and written by Simon and Garfunkel but never really HEARD them until this version.
I haven't stopped thinking about this song since Vietnam!! It has become the anthem of my life!! I have never felt about a song like this before!! It touched my spul!!
People always talk about the live version but for me this video is far better for all the reasons you stated. I love David's anger.....brilliant in every way
Love your reaction! I’d never heard of Disturbed, before this popped up on TH-cam. Was blown away. Listened to it and reactions probably 100 times! I grew up with the original written by Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel (1964). Still have original vinyl. I’ve become a huge fan of Disturbed and have since watched their heavy metal videos and Concerts. Since I haven’t had time to watch you reaction to the Conan performance, I don’t know if you know that Draiman was a trained Jewish Cantor in his youth, as well as his father and grandfather before him. I’m eclectic in my music preferences early pop & rock, heavy rock, metal, industrial… I subscribed because I checked to see which bands you’ve reacted and liked your choices.
The first album I ever bought was Simon and Garfunkel’s I didn’t think anyone could ever sing any of their songs better than them but this version by Disturbed is absolutely amazing and makes me teary every time I hear it. David had an incredible voice and the emotion blows me away. I have only just found your channel, I have watched a few of your videos and love the respect you give the artists and the attention you give to the lyrics. Well done!
In the video it seems David is looking straight into your soul. If you ever heard Disturbed's Down With The Sickness you would be even more impressed by the way the band chose to do this cover. Very unexpected but so awesome.
The sheer electric energy of the live version makes it my favorite. However, the vocal control and the visuals of the video are just stunning and not to be missed! Glad you've seen both now.
You need to go down the rabbit hole of interviews with David about this. I went from discovering them with this video, to tickets this summer. My kids 😮, had to be reminded I grew up on Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, BOC and more...
I've watched the reactions to this song for years. Rly appreciate you not stopping during your first go through so often to comment. I feel you appreciated the song as it is presented and took the time after experiencing it to comment. Subbed and subscribed :>)yo
I loved your reaction to this cover, the imagery is fantastic. so much symbolism in this cover, I am a child of the 60's when Simon & Garfunkel released the original in 1964 I was in high school, back then I considered it kind of country-ish, I liked it but the message didn't pierce the soul. This cover by Disturbed along with the video is the BEST it touches your soul and really gets S&G message to the core of my being and many others too, goosebumps and tears every time. "Neon God" in the 60's TV the advancement of technology NOW there is so many more especially cell phones. "Neon light that split the night", I remember when neon light would turn on there would be a crackling sound thus touched the sound of silence.
I am glad I watched the live version on Conan first because it made me listen to the words … the video was just icing on the cake and was a fantastic visual. I am now watching people’s reactions to both , I am definitely in a worm hole lol
I don’t know anyone who has watched the video and or the live “Conan” version who was not set back,.. had to breathe a sec with WOW! This was done with such Class and justice Goose the hell up Bumps!
Hi Al, this is a Thanks! for not only this reaction, which I loved (both the song and your wonderful reaction) but for your reaction to U2's "With or Without You" that you did for your Mom's birthday!
My jaw is continuously on the floor, carolinasbeauty! I had a little message for you at the beginning of my video listening to "Easy/Lucky/Free" by Bright Eyes. But just to say again, I am shocked by your kindness and generosity! In a world full of bad people online, I've somehow managed to surround myself with the shining stars. Thank you x
The studio version is better executed than the live version. Even if it were otherwise, I would always encourage a new listener to hear the original version first. I know this is your general rule of thumb, so maybe you were persuaded by people that said, you MUST listen to the live version. Anyway, I enjoyed both your reactions to Disturbed's take on this classic song. Crying is allowed by the way, no problem.
Thank you - there's such a stigma around men sharing their emotions. Trying to let that go now, seeing how that mentality has hurt others is enough to try and change my way.
There is a wisdom that shines from you that is beautiful, compassionate, and joyful. Noble and humble and it comes so naturally to you. Thanks for sharing your music. 🎶
I was totally captivated by the artistry of this video, as well as David's vocal artistry. Loved the imagery of the people with the instruments making it their mission to get to the people with the sheet music. I see this as a metaphor of how we must UNITE in these times - against the lying tyrants in the corruption cartel that the US sociopaths have built over the decades.
The difference between the Liveversion and the offical Video, is what I call more than Music. That´s when the Video makes you feel it more, than without the video.
Best reaction/analysis on this video I've seen - and I've watched a lot of them. I feel the same way about this song...except - you're stronger than me - I tear up every single time! Awesome content...subscribing.
They use so much in the way of video clues to match the words, eg the vision planted in his brain, you see drummer pick up the drum from a bared tree that looks like the blood circulatory system of the brain. Eg the veins and arteries if you look at pictures of the brain and it's veins and arteries. Many more little things like at the very end of video the sun rises to chase away the darkness. Also the last line when he sings Sounnnnnnnnnd you can hear the ringing of the sound of the song in the silent piece. I found that line the most powerful just holding the Souuuuuuuuuund of silence.
From what I have heard, it was the Conan production crew that used Auto Tune against the request of David. Again, that's just what I've seen commented multiple times. Either way, great performance.
After doing a little research, I saw the same info - I'm not entirely surprised the team used it, with this idea of how everything should look and sound "perfect". The beauty of live performance, for me, is the opportunity for small little changes in the song - whether on purpose or by mistake. It adds character and flavour to the performance.
So there _one more_ instance of Disturbed's Sound of Silence worth checking out, and it has Myles Kennedy singing harmony: th-cam.com/video/H3By4DZyTNM/w-d-xo.html And if you're unfamiliar with Myles Kennedy, you _really should_ react to Alter Bridge's live Blackbird: th-cam.com/video/YSrQlvTfB_4/w-d-xo.html Trust me on this one. Or two, I guess.
Great reaction! If I'm not mistaken, the tempo of the live performance is slightly slower in the first stanza at least and perhaps the whole song. Both beautiful renditions, but for me the tempo of the live is more powerful from a purely audio perspective. The video is an amazing visual representation. Cheers!
damn well done and impactful clip. nothing to do with most clips these days where the performers just hang out in front of the camera in fancy clothes and - very often - with their ass shoved into the lens .
This is an amazing rendition of the song, but every time I hear it I wish they ended with "And whispered in the sound-” The grand music at the end just ruins the mood for me.
Greetings from Southern California. New sub here. I’ve watched both of the DISTURBED videos. I really enjoy how you react, intelligently and insightful. I’m sure you’re getting plenty of suggestions from the others. So I have a recommendation of another group who covered this song. PENTATONIX is a 3 time Grammy winner 🤞🏼 fourth maybe, we’ll find out on the 23rd. World famous ACAPELLA group who have been together over 11 yrs. They have an incredibly loyal fan base PENTAHOLICS who are known to swarm to anyone who watches them. They are very good at helping channels grow. WATCH ONE AND THEY WILL COME 😂🤭 if you brave enough to enter this rabbit hole, I suggest HALLELUJAH or DAFT PUNK (1st Grammy) ….if you’re already familiar with them…never mind…😅🥹
Thank you so much for this comment, and for your support! I've never met someone from Southern California, it's a pleasure! :) I've seen a few requests here for Pentatonix, I'll definitely check them out :)

David Draiman can make men cry, women cry….. this song touches the soul
So the story goes, God asked David if he wanted to have the voice of an angel or a devil, and David answered, YES.
David said when he came out of the recording booth after 3 hrs he couldn't looks the the others due to the tears in his own eyes from the emotions he was feeling. The others were thinking he must not have liked it because he wasn't looking at them but they were so far from the truth. To think he could feel that much emotion that he was crying himself says a lot.
Is this the version with the visuals . The official music video ? That you mean
I am 54 years old and just discovered this song. I can hardly stop thinking about it all the time. fantastic version. Greetings from Norway. 😀
I'm 52 and discovered it last year! I guess we've been under the same rock! 😀
If they ever come your way please do 👁👁them!!! They are one of the best Rock/Metal bands here in the USA worth listening to!!!!Rock on🤘🤟 Best re~make Ever of another Artists song with a message of ….todays, “tech world” in~person is becoming ~no longer

I agree, after you hear the studio version the Conan version feels somewhat empty and weak.
I like both. There's a mix of emotion in the Conon show as well . Look at his fist as the song ramps up

When you watch the imagery with his vocals, it’s magic!
I love it when people are impacted the same way I am. You get it.
I haven't stopped thinking about this song since Vietnam!! It has become the anthem of my life!! I have never felt about a song like this before!! It touched my spul!!

Listen to Don't give up the fight. Softer song as well . Great message. David Drayman is a master craftsman
Best reaction/analysis on this video I've seen - and I've watched a lot of them. I feel the same way about this song...except - you're stronger than me - I tear up every single time! Awesome content...subscribing.

Absolutely brilliant reaction and interpretation of this song.
Thank you so much my friend :)
You should listen to their cover of Sting's "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You".
So there _one more_ instance of Disturbed's Sound of Silence worth checking out, and it has Myles Kennedy singing harmony: th-cam.com/video/H3By4DZyTNM/w-d-xo.html
And if you're unfamiliar with Myles Kennedy, you _really should_ react to Alter Bridge's live Blackbird: th-cam.com/video/YSrQlvTfB_4/w-d-xo.html
Trust me on this one. Or two, I guess.
I'll second the motion.
I'm going to Download Festival to see these in June 🤗🤗🤗 amazing cover, amazing voice
I'm incredibly envious of you! I might have to try and get tickets myself. Enjoy it! :)
Cry every time i hear this song and thats ok😪💔
Listen to more disturbed they are peak 2000 metal
Apparently David was sick with the flu this day as well...... amazing
You have a beautiful speaking voice. I could listen to you read the phone book and love it.
The studio auto-tune is much better than the auto-tune available on the Conan Show. If you want to take a crying challenge try James Blunt "Monsters"
Metallica one music video is one of the best music videos I have ever seen. You should check it out as well. It’s really powerful.
So pleased you listened to this version.
finally a reaction vid that doesn't chop the vid up ..
Great reaction! If I'm not mistaken, the tempo of the live performance is slightly slower in the first stanza at least and perhaps the whole song. Both beautiful renditions, but for me the tempo of the live is more powerful from a purely audio perspective. The video is an amazing visual representation. Cheers!
Crazy good performance. David is a master.
damn well done and impactful clip. nothing to do with most clips these days where the performers just hang out in front of the camera in fancy clothes and - very often - with their ass shoved into the lens .
Majority of people that have reacted to the live performance, do not believe autotune was used
Listen to
Dan Vasc
Amazing Grace
And
Pentatonix
Hallelujah
Gets no better than this
👍
I totally agre with you!
Try to do DISTURBED'S... THE LIGHT
This is an amazing rendition of the song, but every time I hear it I wish they ended with "And whispered in the sound-” The grand music at the end just ruins the mood for me.
It blew me away. Chickenskin music
😊
