I am a 70 year old Englishman who remembers the original from the '60s but this version is utterly masterful. Moving, emotional and simply magnificent. One of the best songs and arrangements that I have ever been lucky enough to hear.
Paul Simon said it was Disturbed's song now, which is one h3ll of a complement from the original. Warning = Simon and Garfunkel Told you so = Disturbed
imagine being a member of the audience, turning up for a taping of a "chat show" only to be treated to on of the greatest live performances ever. Ive seen this version hundreds of times and it still gives me goosebumps
@philliplocey9451 is not a lie. When they do a wide shot of him, you can tell he is sitting down with his legs up. Or do you think his hips are just that wide?
@derrickramsburg6084 It's tougher to tell in this video, but in the original, when he sings "I turned my collar to the cold and damp" you can very cleary see the chair.
Disturb was performing a concert once and Dave noticed in the front, a child had become upset at his singing - he stopped the concert and went to her to make sure she was OK. For all the way he looks or maybe acts on stage, he is a Prince of a man. Incredible - genuine class.
I love the idea that Paul Simon's version was written as a sad warning of where the world was heading and Disturbed's version is an angry response to the world not listening.
Of all the reaction videos, regarding this version of the Sounds of Silence, yours is by far my favorite. I can feel the emotion through your expressions. Your appreciation for this rendering, is written across your sweet, expressive face.
I was there in row 2 3rd seat from the right it was awesome. He was absolutely sick with flu and he still was by far the best orchestral performance I’ve been to
@@john79taxidriver20Just because you don't like their music doesn't make them shitty. If they were shitty, he would have never had the popularity to get on the show and deliver this masterpiece.
If no one has said it yet, David Draiman (the lead singer of Disturbed, and the man featured here) was trained as a Jewish Temple Cantor as a child. A Cantor being the person who calls the faithful to the temple for prayer, and leads them in that prayer. Also, his father and grandfather are/were Jewish Temple Cantors. It's a tradition at least 1,000 years older than "classically trained" singers.
@@gtgraham1970 Haha, no he didn't. These were his actual words: “Really powerful performance on Conan the other day,” Simon wrote. “First time I’d seen you do it live. Nice, Thanks.”
@@gtgraham1970Nope. Simon never said that. What he said in an email was, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks."
And imagine that this performance ALMOST didn't happen because David was suffering from the flu on this day and wasn't sure he would be able to make it through the song. One of the greatest live performances ever recorded.
The best description I've heard of this is that the original by Simon and Garfunkel was the warning. This version is the anger that the warning wasn't heeded. No matter how many times I hear this version, I always get a bit emotional.
Exactly, as I am in my 70's I remember when the original came out. We hippies felt like the song spoke to the frustration of our generation. The people were watching the "boob tube" and we wanted to discuss war, racism, hate and division. David's performance mirrors our thoughts in this generation, we don't speak to each other except through text. People "talking without speaking, hearing without listening." Our frustration continues, however for the first time in a long time we have HOPE! In Kamala Harris. 💙
The first time I heard this version, I cried. 100% out of my control. Everyone in the car on our way to work looked at me like I was crazy. This reaction video made me feel more normal again. Lol It's great to see someone else who has emotional reactions to music
I think I've seen this performance at least 50 times and shed a tear every single time and I'm generally not an emotional person, it just touches something in me that I can't explain 💜
Probably the most powerful performance I've ever seen. I like this version better than the original and I grew up with the original. Hats off to David.
Paul Simon sent Dave an email: “Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I’d seen you do it live. Nice, Thanks.” Draiman responded. “Mr. Simon, I am honored beyond words,” he wrote. “We only hoped to pay homage and honor to the brilliance of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Your compliment means the world to me/us and we are eternally grateful.”
I'm one of those people who get chills when I hear a song that touches me deeply ,which happens often with Pink Floyd music.i never gave Disturbed a chance.but I'll say this.nobody on planet earth will sing a version of this song that will ever be better than this one.not only did I get freaking chills but my eyes watered up and leaked.this man's voice is unbelievable
Like you said a touching performance of the greatest song that has ever been written. If you don't get tears in your eyes because of the message and voice then you need an interdiction!
I was two years old when Simon and Garfunkel released this song. That was 1965 the song is about people learning to communicate with each other......looks like we are still working on it.
His enthusiastic enunciation of key words at the exact right moment fully delivers the impact of the songs message, fully and totally complimented by the string section. Brilliant performance.
Compared to the original version, I think David’s much lower voice, the accompanying orchestra and the rock-vocalist distortion he adds to his delivery all combine for such a truly dramatic rendition.
Saw disturbed in concert back in 2019 and they performed this song, that moment will stick with me for the rest of my life. It’s needless to say but it was AMAZING.
One of the best covers to a song ever done. Right up there with Whitney Houston’s cover of Dolly Parton’s I will always love you, Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, Tina Turners cover of Proud Mary by John Fogerty (Creedance Clearwater Revival), and Teddy Swims cover of I Can’t Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt. Honorable mention to: Sinéad O’Connor’s cover of Nothing Compares 2 U by Prince, and Bad Wolves’ cover of Zombie by The Cranberries.
This has to be one of the top 10 greatest live covers of any song ever. The control he has over the highs and lows and most especially when does that intentional vocal fry is insane. As a heavy rock singer he is known for that but still so impressive.
I’ve listened to this performance countless times from the Conan O’Brian show and still have not been able to convince myself that there is an adjective that properly fits the awesome greatness of this presentation.
I really appreciated your reaction. This song amazes me. When I watch reactions that don't understand the lyrics or the amazing vocals of David Drumain, it's quite disappointing. You truly connected with this performance, and I enjoyed watching it with you.
For some reason, today is the first time I've heard this rendition. It's at a whole different level. So much emotion. Goosebumps. One of the all-time greats. Amazing.
I've watched the video sooo many times, and so many reaction vidoes to it as well. Yours was so raw and authentic - seeing its effect on you made me tear up. And the fact that you described some parts as "rocky" and "noisy" colors - very synaesthetic terms. Love it.
I’ve literally listened to this hundreds of times and have watched hundreds of reactions to this song and every time I smile from the reactions and have what I call an eargasum just a amazing
This is my favorite reaction video she’s done…her reaction at 5:44 is of disbelief hahaha…you know he’s incredibly good when someone like Emma can’t believe what she’s hearing
Absolutely amazing performance and LIVE! WOW. I always get emotional when I hear this, especially this live video. What a beautiful cover, extraordinary voice. So many goosebumps and tears... Simply amazing
Your expressions were spot on . This was such a magical feeling . And then doing it live was more jaw dropping then any other performance I ever seen or heard. Anyone who knows music would definitely agree. Best cover song ever done.❤❤❤
Your reaction was incredible. You tell you loved it. You were glued to each note and inflection. Love seeing it move you like that. That's what music does
Seeing that you liked this performance I would suggest that you actually watch the official music video of this song, Dave was sick for this live performance and the music video is even more powerful !! You won’t regret it.
Thank you for such a raw reaction to his song. I've followed this song and its many, many reactions while its been around, and people will often try to analyze it, but its very refreshing to see a raw, emotional reaction to hearing such a heartful response to such a masterpiece.
Sound of Silence has got to be the best cover ever!! David has an incredible voice and pulled that song off perfectly!! I never get tired of listening to it. I also get the goosebumps and a deep feeling its hard to describe and the song is so touching I find my eyes watering and i have a heavy heart...Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel that sang this song originally gave praise of this version saying this is what the song was always meant to be. He said this song belongs to Disturbed now. People have said that Simon and Garfunkel's version was the warning... Disturbed was the deliverance and the lesson... The emotion that no one heeded the warning
Ugh. So tired of this bs. No, Simon didn’t say the song belongs to Disturbed now. He liked their version very much and even mentioned it on his socials but he certainly never said it belongs to them now. What do you all get from just spreading complete lies about things?
@@AmyJordan73 what do you get from being so high and mighty? Just be nice. It's a simple mistake. It's something I've heard repeatedly so I shared it too out of appreciation for the song. Get over yourself.
That was a Musical tour de force, raw, powerful and emotional; Reading the other comments, I'm glad that Simon and Garfunkel said that they liked this version, high praise indeed ; Anyway back to Emma's reaction, and all I can really say is that Emma also delivered a tour de force; Their was a nice intro, building into the Song, and then Emma as always gives a great technical explanation for the differing aspects of the Song; Be that to do with breathing, or bringing a low deep register from within the Chest, and the clean tone being produced; The final round up was pitch perfect, Emma becoming emotional perfectly underscored the performance; Emma yet again showing with her raw, powerful and emotional reaction that she stands at the very pinnacle of reactors, few can match her, but the Charismatic Voice; Beth Roars and the Fairy Voice Mother push Emma close. 🥰😍💘💝💙💯👌🤟👏👍🙆♂👩🎤.
You don't expect that from a band that is actually known for hitting harder tones with their music. I was also totally overwhelmed by this cover version for the first time
Disturbed, the havy metal band is from Chicago and formed around 1994 and singer David Draiman joined in 1996. David had actually been a cantor at his synagogue in the past...to end up in heavy metal was a jump for sure. Then for this heavy metal band to come out with this remake of Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel...wow. The original meaning of the song (written during a time of a lot of unrest and change in the 1960s) was about people being unable to effectively communicate with each other, especially on an emotional level and kind of a warning of the effect if it didn't change. Fast forward to now and the meaning is even more profound and true today, and this version by Disturbed is driving that point (the music video is really good....but the intense emotionality of David's voice in this live performance is so much more). People have said that Paul Simon's version was the warning, and this song was the anger because no one listened. When they did this live performance, David was very very sick with flu, which is why he was sitting..was too sick to stand. His group had thought he shouldn't go on because he was so sick...but David said he was going on. To be able to sing and perform like this while so sick is a testament to his incredible and beautiful baritone voice.
This has to be the best cover ive ever heard, the singer is awesome but what made your reaction the best, your facial exprecions were beautiful to see the way it hit you, this was awesome.
Hi Emma, I really like the way you analyze and internet the song. You're such an excellent voice coach. David has a Great deeper sustained voice! Wonderful rendition of the message, it really manifests the way his gestures & intonation of voice impacting the thirsty soul to drink wonderful song making your condition brighter and motivated.
I truly enjoyed all the expressions that just appeared from you. Honest and unashamed. As his voice soared, you soared. When his voice became low, you shrunk physically. Your expressions translated the entire piece from the first note to the last. Ive been bing watching David Draiman since i first saw him sing this particular song several weeks ago. I closely watch each person who listen to him for the first time. With that gift he has i see how his sound affects each person who hears him. In my mind i see him vibrationally connecting with each individual and lifting and changing each and every person that listens and tunes into him as he sings. Each cell in those who hear him for the first time vibrates at a slightly higher leven, lightens each person. They sway, turn their heads back and forth in time to his sound. People's expressions, their bodies, even the energy surrounding their faces change. Its almost like they are joined in a deep journey with this man. And that he is the driver and you are along for the ride, but the ride changes you. FOR THE BETTER. It feels to me like he lifts others up. You feel the care, the love, and the honesty and he brings that out in you and you are better for it. I see those who seem to develope a sense of more understanding about the meaning of the words song by a man with a voice that is so rare. He brings out a sense of wonder in people. GOD gives us gifts. We need to develope those gifts so we can give our GOD all the glory. GOD gave David a truly rare and special gift. Mr David...please use this gift to bring people closer to GOD, and please dont get tattoos.

David ( the singer) showed Simon and Garfunkel the rendition and they called it a masterpiece.
I'm a 72 yr old American, and this version far exceeds the original. Perfect??
He not only did this justice but this version will go down as a masterpiece in history.
and he was sick af too

_The_ most epic live performances for a late-night studio performance. And that's by a lot, I would say.

differing aspects of the Song; Be that to do with breathing, or bringing a low deep register from within the Chest, and the clean tone

Wonderful rendition of the message, it really manifests the way his gestures & intonation of voice impacting the thirsty soul to drink wonderful song making your condition brighter and motivated.
Great reaction! Such an awesome song, and perfectly described how many of us felt as we heard it for ourselves the first time! Thank you!

Great version of a great song
He has one of the best and unique voices. Love Disturbed!
I feel you, it’s a song sung with power and control, chills, stone cold.🥶
Watching you react to this gives me goosebumps Emma!! Hello from Alberta!!
I love his Energy, so Powerfull!
I truly enjoyed all the expressions that just appeared from you. Honest and unashamed. As his voice soared, you soared. When his voice became low, you shrunk physically. Your expressions translated the entire piece from the first note to the last. Ive been bing watching David Draiman since i first saw him sing this particular song several weeks ago. I closely watch each person who listen to him for the first time. With that gift he has i see how his sound affects each person who hears him. In my mind i see him vibrationally connecting with each individual and lifting and changing each and every person that listens and tunes into him as he sings. Each cell in those who hear him for the first time vibrates at a slightly higher leven, lightens each person. They sway, turn their heads back and forth in time to his sound. People's expressions, their bodies, even the energy surrounding their faces change. Its almost like they are joined in a deep journey with this man. And that he is the driver and you are along for the ride, but the ride changes you. FOR THE BETTER. It feels to me like he lifts others up. You feel the care, the love, and the honesty and he brings that out in you and you are better for it. I see those who seem to develope a sense of more understanding about the meaning of the words song by a man with a voice that is so rare. He brings out a sense of wonder in people. GOD gives us gifts. We need to develope those gifts so we can give our GOD all the glory. GOD gave David a truly rare and special gift. Mr David...please use this gift to bring people closer to GOD, and please dont get tattoos.
Disturbed. Wow, this is amazing and the thing I love the most about them is that their songs always have a message. My favorite is The Light.
