This song touches my heart so much. My son died from an accident overdose when he was 23. I can't tell you how much this means to me. Music always has held memories for me. Kevin Brian Cherkas Forever 23 Thank you, David Draiman ❤
@@kendramorin9879....Me too Kendra....I'm not much for all the crazy stuff but I've noticed their lyrics are quite meaningful and strong!!!! Pretty good messages!!
I’m Sounds of Silence Old too. I did see Simon and Garfunkel sing this back when they were new. I love their rendition and truly love Disturbed version. Both magical to me.
I smile when I read these comments from older people saying how much they love this band and their songs. Music spans every generation; it’s what touches our heart and our senses. I too have recently discovered Disturbed
Mmmmm🤔considering we older people were brought up listening, head banging, most likely stoned, in the era of real hard rock. We appreciate the rear breed of musicians of today who can actually sing and play real instruments, without all the fake computer bullshit that most of the younger generations are force feed.
I lost my Mom in April. She loved many rock bands, Dusturbed being one of her faves because David's voice. Theres so much new music thats came out since shes been gone that I've wanted to share with her. But when I heard this song it was like she was in Disturbed's head when they made this. and she wanted to share this song with me. It's now one of my favorites of all time.
I lost my mother in july. I feel where ur comming from. Right when he said make the most of the rest of ur life... My face broke in a million peices as well as my heart. Now i use this song for strength. My mom wouldnt want me to solk in pain over her being gone. I can still feel the tears for emotional release and to draw strength from. Keep our loved ones alive. Thank you David Dan Mike and John for ur contribution to many and the strength to listen to this song and power through the pain.
Lost my grandmother in October, 2016. I remember showing her Disturbed's performance of the Sound of Silence on Conan O'Brian one day. She had her own laptop and browsed Facebook a fair bit, even though she was in her late 70's. Later, I heard her watching it again and she said "Yeah, I watch it every time I see it pop up again, he's got a great voice". I remember in my head laughing my ass off, because here's this stuffy English woman watching Disturbed. I wasn't even that familiar with them, but I knew they were mostly heavy metal and the heaviest thing I've heard her play was the Beatles. I think she would've enjoyed this album, because there are quite a few acoustic ballads. Haters can say what they want about it being 'too soft', but I disagree. This is very sweet and refreshing.
I am not much of a metal fan… but I LOVE this… and their version of the sound of silence is my favorite song/performance of all time. I love his voice, I love his passion.
This made me cry. Absolutely beautiful. I am a 50 year old disabled Navy vet, who was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer on Fathers day 2018. The lyrics really hit home for me.
I know this won't help your situation but it is men and women like you that let the rest of Americans make the most of our lives. Thanks for your service. God be with you
This song is amazing and unfiltered. I have been listening to it while riding my bike for many years. It reminds me of the freedom, peace, and gratefulness for the life that we have. Life is fleeting and temporary, so we should wake up and celebrate it every day. God bless everyone.
I lost my best friend almost 2 years ago. He always used to say "Lets go make memories together." He knew my favorite band is Disturbed and I feel like this is him speaking to me.
Reading this gave me chills. Thinking of you. I lost a close friend of mine a few days ago and this is the maybe the 20th time I've listened to this song after only hearing it for the first time after my friend's passing. So beautiful. ❤️
Calling "Hold On To Memories" a song is an understatement, it's an educational masterpiece which teaches a life lesson that will never be learnt in school. It hits very differently to most music out there today.
Wonder how many of us Senior Citizens. Now listen to Disturbed ..after hearing The Sound of Silence..always something new to learn..no matter your age..
My mother is 72 years old and loves Disturbed and came to see them and Avenged Sevenfold before covid and we loved both acts!! David’s voice is so amazingly good and he has such amazing versatility he really is a master of his craft!! The band are like a fine wine that just gets better with age 🤘🤘🤘 Also love the recent cover of ‘If I ever loose my faith’. The details in the song are incredible and after the pandemic hit it brought the message of hope to us all! 😎🤘😎🤘👍
Yep, i am 67 as of Oct. 20th, 2023. Been a Disturbed fan since day one and even before 9/11 i found that the lyrics in alot of their songs had something positive even though the songs may be forbodding or even intimadating. But yeah, even though i hate wine the anology is fitting. But you can get that from whiskey too🤣 David is a very compassionate and introspectfully astute lyricist. What i like most that in the early days on their tours, you knew very well that David could beat your ass with words or his fists. And now that they are older, mellower and very socially sensitive, and his kindness is often displayed at shows,...you kinda know this compassionate man can still bust you up if you're a dick at one of his shows🤣
The last time my grandfather came over to my house before he died, which was about a month before, he played me this exact video when he discovered it on TH-cam. Music was one of our favorite bonds with each other … He loved their cover of the sound of silence. I was fortunate enough to see him again before he died, but the night he played this for me was the last time my mom had seen him and watching this video strikes an incredibly emotional cord. So thank you for your beautiful song and performance, it’ll forever be a part of my life.
God damn, that was bone chilling, spine shivering excellence. REAL music. All these so-called musicians today need to take note, this is what true talent looks like.
@@100fredkrueger auto tune isn't bad necessarily though, regardless David has such a powerful voice and he is such a good lyricist that it puts me in a special place where I stop thinking of all the negative stuff in the world and I feel happy.
All true words,, these boys have been there for quite a while now,, and have surprised me with the most amazing songs,,, loud, ballads ,,, they are absolutely amazing,,!!!! At this moment,I think disturbed and alter bridge,are 2 of the greatest rock bands ever,!!!!!!
So true. My sons are 24 and 21 and mad about Scorpions and other rock bands I listened when I was young and still listen.I'm 56 and proud my sons like this kind of music better than "hear shit" like they say!☺
That is a beautiful melody and the words are touching. I like when David sings like this. The band does a wonderful job. I am 78 and I just found this song in early August 2023.
'm Ialmost 74 never liked heavy metal bands, been raised on old Country greats, but about a year ago I ran across sound of silance and David Draiman, It makes me wish I was 20 again. I just love his voice, and everything about him, I think this "Hold on to memories" is absolutely my favorite!!!! Maybe it is an age thing, and Ive lost my only sister 5 years ago, that really hurt! This is such an important song and has so much meaning!
I'm 70 and never liked metal. Then I heard Disturbed's Sound of Silence a couple of months and was hooked. David has such an amazing voice and the musicians are spectacular.
I love this! My father passed last month of Covid-19 ... “ memory”tears are streaming down my face right now. I am in the medical field and the provider I work for lost their brother two weeks after my dad. I shared this song with her, told her to grab tissue before listening lol! She absolutely loved it! Disturbed is now one of my favorites! I original discovered them when I heard their rendition of Sound of Silence... it is wonderful!!!
Sorry for your loss. Disturbed came into my life when I heard their rendition of Sound of Silence as well. The lyrics are amazing and sometimes are the only thing that keeps me alive, such powerful songs and performances...About these memories, there's one message I would like to share: "The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes the memory" Anyway, if I wrote anything wrong, sorry, I'm Brazilian and sometimes my english is not that well hahahaha. Hope u have an amazing life and remember: there's always a reason to fight.
@@brunocandiadallanora9610 your words were beautiful! I find myself listening to “Disturbed” more and more lol! The whole album.. seems to make me feel better! Please stay safe!
Dear DISTURBED. I've left some pretty frank comments in the past. Was down big time w the sickness. Have given most of it to you. Will work out the rest in therapy. Just wanted to say this. I was focusing on David of course, but now I realize you're a tight unit. All of you guys have helped me more than I can say. Rock on! I am forever DISTURBED
Never heard of Disturbed until a few days ago when I heard Sound of Silence. I am a huge fan now. Going out to get some cd's. Would love for them to re-do some oldies on one album in ther own version......
Drenda Parfitt Hi Drenda. If not for my children (who are adults now) I would never have heard about Disturbed. All 3 of them have pretty much the same taste in music, but it was my youngest daughter who introduced me to so many awesome bands back when I was in my mid 40’s. I’m 63 now, and still love all of the music she had shown me. I was blown away by Sound of Silence, as it’s a real masterpiece from them. And a far cry from what they normally produce; same as this one above!! Just beautiful :)
I fell in love with this band when Sickness came out. Now 66 years old and with every album they give me a new reason to love them even more. Disturbed never disappoints.
He doesn’t do the uhh waaa ahhh ahh ahh ...shit, those were the times. Down with sickness , stupify , the game , voices , fear, god disturbed are so unique..i have to agree with you tho his voice aged perfectly welll
Every now and again there comes along a song that just seems to touch everyone and have a profound impact. From the gentle opening melodic sounds of the guitar to Davids powerful yet sensual vocals, there is something for everyone. One of the most powerful songs to date........
Listen, everyone The time will come when all of us say goodbye Feel that aching in your heart Leaving you broken inside But we're never really gone As long as there's a memory in you mind So now go do the best things in life Take a bite of this world while you can Make the most of the rest of your life Make a ride of this world while you can Take the ones you love And hold them close because there is little time And don't let it break your heart I know it feels hopeless sometimes But they're never really gone As long as there's a memory in you mind So now go do the best things in life Take a bite of this world while you can Make the most of the rest of your life Make a ride of this world while you can And hold on to memories Hold on to every moment To keep them alive The world's greatest tragedy Souls who are not remembered Cannot survive So now go do the best things in life Bring the fight to this world while you can Make the most of the rest of your life Shine your light on this world while you can And hold on to memories Hold on to every moment To keep them alive The world's greatest tragedy Souls who are not remembered Cannot survive And hold on to memories (Hold on) Hold on to every moment To keep them alive (Keep them alive) The world's greatest tragedy (Hold on) Souls who are not remembered Cannot survive
Man David has such a great way with words. I've always loved disturbed. I don't care if they write a whole album of ballads one day... I know it will be just as good as everything else they've given us over the years
This man just flattens me with his ballads. Goes to show excellent music crosses all lines. My 42 year old son exposed me to David's music and I am a 68 year old grandmother, retired nurse and a veteran. Keep on Disturbed!
This 63 year old not get enough of their music. Thanks to our 23 year old grandson who turned us on their music. Yep I am the COOL grammy. Can not get enough of their music. Went out and bought their Evolution Cd. We lost our precious Cocoa and this song has helped me though it
OMG You can see the feeling and emotion of the lyrics in David’s voice and facial expressions! What a beautiful powerful version to an amazing song! Thank You
I can’t get this song out of my head. It’s so nice to hear a song about something that actually matters in life. Touched my soul to the core. That is why disturbed is my favorite band.
This song is not jujst emotionally touching, but his voice hits you hard in this. His voice makes this song what it is and you can tell how it hit him.
I loss my mother in April, following her passing, May I loss my dad. Sure miss them. ❤️ This video is a gentle reminder....their memories, their love remains forever. Thank you.
As long as bands like Disturbed, Alter Bridge (Tremonti and Myles Kennedy solos included), and Greta Van Fleet are around, I have faith that good music will endure.
A lot of the new age musicians and vocalist how to use autotune cuz they can actually sing that great that's why people like Chester Bennington who passed away David Draiman. Are the true vocalist of the last 20 years
Wow This song love it and David you sang it beautiful the words bring me to tears every time I listen to it 😢My brother is fighting for his life now he has a very nasty cancer, We are a family of 6 kids my 3 sisters have passed from cancer I am in remission now my youngest brother is fighting for his life ,my oldest brother is the only family member to not have this nasty 🤢 disease...Well done to you David and your awesome band Disturbed loved you guys for a long time ❤️ x
David voice is so amazing! When this song came out my boss at work just died suddenly. He was truly a great man. It was so heartbreaking. We had a gathering to remember him at the baseball field he would coach at. He use to play pro baseball back in the day and we felt holding that gathering there was fitting. I played this song in honor of him. Beautiful beautiful song
I dedicate this song to my mother who left this world two years ago.. Mom this song is for you, I know you are saying this to me.. I love You and I Miss You... Til we meet again :'( ..... Such a Beautiful song
I'm sorry Donna... I feel the same way about my mom. We WILL meet.. I only say that because she passed 3 days after I was born...so, never got to...but WE WILL BOTH be reunited with our mothers
My 22 year old Grandson Antonio passed away on July 4th. I will always love you and miss you until I meet you again. This is one of the best songs that is helping me out. Thank you Disturbed.
This amazing song called Hold on to Memories by Disturbed will now and forever be played on today, the anniversary of my brother’s passing and on December 2 for my dad (17 years gone). It is elegant, and uplifting and speaks to my heart. If you have ever lost a loved one, you should give it a listen. Love you and miss you terribly Steve. ❤️💔 And thank you to the band for such an amazing song to help us through the tough days.
I'd like to dedicate this song to my dad. Passed away in 1986 I was 2. Due to leukemia, his influences in rock n roll are the reason for my passion for music.
I turn 80 in May.. my son played Disturbed singing Sound of Silence and now this song Hold On To Memories.. I am hooked...David has a powerful voice...
Every year on December I remember loosing my bestie and 34 others from my company at Kim Son 12/17/66 it’s always been part of me as they were part of me. I keep them alive by living a good life they were cheated out of and I’ll never never forget them. This song has added new meaning to their loss. I make the most of the rest of my life.
Was so lucky so see Disturbed this past weekend at Alexandra Palace, London. Never have I felt emotions like I felt at this gig, David is the most sincere and thought provoked man I've ever seen! Don't even get me started on the voice!!!!! WOW
Having lost my grandfather three weeks ago, I played this song in his memory. This is just an absolutely powerful song. It reminds us all that life is too damn short. We never know when our end will come. So take time out of your day to spend with loved ones. Wether it be friends, family, your significant other, anyone who has made an impact on your life. Because it's those memories that last and make your life memorable
This song always makes me think of my Aunt Nancy who passed in 2020 from a stroke and I couldn't attend her memorial. She was up there in age but would have loved this song. And said "Words to take to heart"...
I lost my soldier boy, my soul mate of 49 years, 6 months, 3 days and 6 hours. My soul yearns for him and my heart breaks every day I continue to breathe. Memories are that I have left.
I lost the love of my wife in May of 2020. We'd been together on and off for 25 years, since I was 13 and she was 17. My heart feels heavy and my soul feels empty. I couldn't imagine what I'd feel like after 50 years and I hope for you all the best.
So I am a new friend to Disturbed, I thought David's performance of sound of silence was exceptional but the more I hear this band"s music the song remember the moments just brought me to tears what a voice David has, what a group may your memory always survive!
I lost my lil brother 8 years ago and my older sister 2 years ago. Their memories are locked deep in my heart. Every time I need the strength to go on I listen to this song now and remember them and thank them for inspiring me to get into art.
I lost my dad on oct. 30 2018. this song pulls on me. wonderful song. i got through with the help of this band. thank you for your superb ability to write a song. Bret Dorton
I lost my dad ten years ago and my mom nearly two years ago now I'm so glad to have the memories of them I do. They honestly loved one another and I know they are together again. As my dad said life is short you can't let it slip by cherish each day each moment

I lost my son on Dec 25, 2023 and this is the song for his service I will be singing for him. Thank you Disturbed ❤️
My wife died on the 28th after two days of COVID,it all happened so fast. This song convinced me to get back to a normal life without her.
My heart goes out to you both ❤️
My condolences.
Sending love ❤
Im sorry for your loss
Memories are about all I have left. All my family but my kids are in heaven. It’s lonely being the only one left.

🫂 be grateful you have your kids ❤ 😢 they are a blessing for you
My sincerest condolences for your losses. Stay strong, and best wishes from Australia 😊
Lots of love to you ❤
❤❤❤
Anyone grieving should listen to this beautiful song. It helps.
David's voice can destroy your world while building you a brand new one.
This song touches my heart so much. My son died from an accident overdose when he was 23. I can't tell you how much this means to me.
Music always has held memories for me.

Forever 23
Thank you, David Draiman ❤
I too lost my son at 23 in 97..i still remember the last words he said to me and held his hands...Love and Miss him ALWAYS!
I love how Disturbed is not afraid to show their gentle side.
I think it's their gentle side that makes me super attracted to them as a band and as humans❤
It would be a shame if they didn't do this side of their music talent. They are amazing
@@kendramorin9879....Me too Kendra....I'm not much for all the crazy stuff but I've noticed their lyrics are quite meaningful and strong!!!! Pretty good messages!!
@@Rotorqueen1 ❤️
236 people have no idea what REAL MUSIC IS. I could listen to this for hours on end.
Wow I’m 62 and now I’m a fan of a heavy metal group. I’ve watched sounds of silence 50 times at least. Now this beautiful positive affirming song .
I didn’t like metal until my 40s and disturbed is definitely my favorite group
agreed. I have never had any patience with heavy metal, but this man...this voice...(only 50 times?) lol
I am 65 discovered his music a few days ago,I am completely addicted
Me too!
I'm 72 and fell down the Disturbed Rabbit hole about 3 months ago. Wow.
I played this song at my Mama's funeral. She loved disturbed at 85. We were going to the concert, but she died before we got too.
RIP to your mama 🖤
@@audacyapp Thank you. One day I'll make it to their concert. She will be there in spirit.
This old lady (Sounds of Silence old ) has just "discovered" another Disturbed song to love.
I’m Sounds of Silence Old too. I did see Simon and Garfunkel sing this back when they were new. I love their rendition and truly love Disturbed version. Both magical to me.
May you be blessed ..
Me too!
Me as well
Me too; love these songs.
A rock band is truly great when their ballads are completely phenomenal too.
Pure Truth 👏🙏🎯
absolutely.
Real talk
100% TRUTH!
Indeed
God: Would you like the voice of an angel or a demon?
Dave Draiman: Yes
This is really very accurate
Haha so very true
mikeb12879 He’s truly incredible
LOL...A classically trained cantor angel/demon...🤣🤣🤣
Awesome comment!!!
What an incredible performance. This mans voice is a gift
I'ts heavenly voice coming from hell. Or the opposite.
Amazing 💜 thank you 💜
Agreed.
He is my KING!
Wonderful and very emotional! I love Disturbed! 😍

I can't imagine that old school Disturbed fans like this at all. I'm glad to hear David's voice showcased in this way.
Whoa, Dave never ceases to amaze me with his vocal range
one of the best ranges in rock, reminds me of Bono of U2s range
Same
Especially with all the problems he's been having with his vocal cords
lets not forget about the guy on the guitar singing background
That is a beautiful melody and the words are touching. I like when David sings like this. The band does a wonderful job. I am 78 and I just found this song in early August 2023.

ABSOLUTELY!
A humble man. A Bold man . David Draiman LONG LIVE DISTURBED!
"A bold man" you don't say
Did you say a bald man. Ha ha jk
Oh, David. There are no words......💕. Bless you for the music.
Disturbed helped me to cope with the loss of my husband of 65 years.
Hes so fantastic. I could listen all day to his voice.

Anyway, if I wrote anything wrong, sorry, I'm Brazilian and sometimes my english is not that well hahahaha. Hope u have an amazing life and remember: there's always a reason to fight.
@@brunocandiadallanora9610 your words were beautiful! I find myself listening to “Disturbed” more and more lol! The whole album.. seems to make me feel better! Please stay safe!
@@lisastewart7332 Hahahaha me too, their songs are just wonderful to keep us going. Hope u stay safe!!
So sorry for your loss
Drága David én most olvadók el, ezt meg nem hallottam!
Fantasztikus Te és a Banda! Minden tiszteletem Irantatok! 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I Love ❤❤
Beatiful, I Love I Love❤🎉❤és ❤🎉
His voice is amazing. I believe he can sing anything and make it amazing.
Dear DISTURBED. I've left some pretty frank comments in the past. Was down big time w the sickness. Have given most of it to you. Will work out the rest in therapy. Just wanted to say this. I was focusing on David of course, but now I realize you're a tight unit. All of you guys have helped me more than I can say. Rock on! I am forever DISTURBED
My son was a fan of Disturbed. This song hits home. I have found I love the words to many of Disturbed. Thank you for my memories of my son Disturbed!
Never heard of Disturbed until a few days ago when I heard Sound of Silence. I am a huge fan now. Going out to get some cd's. Would love for them to re-do some oldies on one album in ther own version......
I want to hear them do "Light My Fire" and "White Rabbit"!

Hi Drenda. If not for my children (who are adults now) I would never have heard about Disturbed. All 3 of them have pretty much the same taste in music, but it was my youngest daughter who introduced me to so many awesome bands back when I was in my mid 40’s.
I’m 63 now, and still love all of the music she had shown me. I was blown away by Sound of Silence, as it’s a real masterpiece from them. And a far cry from what they normally produce; same as this one above!! Just beautiful :)
Disturbed did Songs Of Silence better than Simon and Garfunkel I hate to say that but it’s true imo. And the video is magnificent.

Mr Paul Simon agreed with you.
I dedicate to my girlfriend who passed away 2.5 years ago. Awesome performance.
I fell in love with this band when Sickness came out. Now 66 years old and with every album they give me a new reason to love them even more. Disturbed never disappoints.
Really happy to see he's been taking care of his voice with proper technique. He may even be at his best now.
He doesn’t do the uhh waaa ahhh ahh ahh ...shit, those were the times. Down with sickness , stupify , the game , voices , fear, god disturbed are so unique..i have to agree with you tho his voice aged perfectly welll
Every now and again there comes along a song that just seems to touch everyone and have a profound impact. From the gentle opening melodic sounds of the guitar to Davids powerful yet sensual vocals, there is something for everyone. One of the most powerful songs to date........
You should check out the live concert video for "A Reason to Fight". Just as powerful as this one.
Give it up for the backing vocalist too! Great job! You two sound amazing together!
Thomas Christoffersen Definitely. He completes the song beautifully.
I was gonna say the same thing. Great backing vocals.
Beat me to that statement....wow!
Listen, everyone
The time will come when all of us say goodbye
Feel that aching in your heart
Leaving you broken inside
But we're never really gone
As long as there's a memory in you mind
So now go do the best things in life
Take a bite of this world while you can
Make the most of the rest of your life
Make a ride of this world while you can
Take the ones you love
And hold them close because there is little time
And don't let it break your heart
I know it feels hopeless sometimes
But they're never really gone
As long as there's a memory in you mind
So now go do the best things in life
Take a bite of this world while you can
Make the most of the rest of your life
Make a ride of this world while you can
And hold on to memories
Hold on to every moment
To keep them alive
The world's greatest tragedy
Souls who are not remembered
Cannot survive
So now go do the best things in life
Bring the fight to this world while you can
Make the most of the rest of your life
Shine your light on this world while you can
And hold on to memories
Hold on to every moment
To keep them alive
The world's greatest tragedy
Souls who are not remembered
Cannot survive
And hold on to memories (Hold on)
Hold on to every moment
To keep them alive (Keep them alive)
The world's greatest tragedy (Hold on)
Souls who are not remembered
Cannot survive
thank you for posting the lyrics- great song!!
Thank you !💖
Hold on to those you love
I dont get it..explain
Man David has such a great way with words. I've always loved disturbed. I don't care if they write a whole album of ballads one day... I know it will be just as good as everything else they've given us over the years
This man just flattens me with his ballads. Goes to show excellent music crosses all lines.
My 42 year old son exposed me to David's music and I am a 68 year old grandmother, retired nurse and a veteran. Keep on Disturbed!
Beautiful
Definitely! I love their heavy stuff. But dammit I love their ballads too!
I would pre pre order that album in a heartbeat 😍😍😍😍
A whole album of ballads? That would be beautiful!!!! 😍
This 63 year old not get enough of their music. Thanks to our 23 year old grandson who turned us on their music. Yep I am the COOL grammy. Can not get enough of their music. Went out and bought their Evolution Cd. We lost our precious Cocoa and this song has helped me though it
#63 here too
I love their music
OMG You can see the feeling and emotion of the lyrics in David’s voice and facial expressions! What a beautiful powerful version to an amazing song! Thank You
I wish they would do a whole album of this type of music, David Draiman's voice is so wonderful
The sorrow we feel when
we lose a loved one is the
price we pay to have had
them in our lives.
This song hits harder when live
It's always better live!
I feel like as Disturbed get older this is the direction they need to head.
I totallly agreee. They should continue producing songs
Their ballads are amazing. As they mature, their music does too.
@@parksnewbornportraiture4989 :,)
This song makes me cry every freakn time.
🤧
I lost my little brother Aug 2018. This song means so much. Thank you ❤
Awh, so true and beautiful, I love you guys, TY and I am 66 yr old woman, you energize my soul!!
Have watched the reels of Disturbed on here, this is the first song I’ve heard I think I could become a Disturbed fan as from now❤ on
I play this tune every morning. Dance with my memories. Sets the day up.
This band is maturing nicely, like a fine wine.
I can’t get this song out of my head. It’s so nice to hear a song about something that actually matters in life. Touched my soul to the core. That is why disturbed is my favorite band.
😭 lost my big Maine Coon Odin SUDDENLY and am heartsick. Thank you for your beautiful timely performance! 💕💕💕💔💔💔💔💕💕💕💕
This song is not jujst emotionally touching, but his voice hits you hard in this. His voice makes this song what it is and you can tell how it hit him.
When someone you love becomes a memory, then that memory becomes your treasure…
Love love love David's voice!!! This band is amazing! Would be wonderful to sing with them!
I loss my mother in April, following her passing, May I loss my dad. Sure miss them. ❤️
This video is a gentle reminder....their memories, their love remains forever.
Thank you.
The last of the great voices! Last of the REAL voices. Music has changed dramatically for the worse. Thanks Dave for your talent.
As long as bands like Disturbed, Alter Bridge (Tremonti and Myles Kennedy solos included), and Greta Van Fleet are around, I have faith that good music will endure.
D.J. BEE He could sing anything! “Hey David, song Mary had a little lamb.” *absolutely crushes it* 🤘🏼
A lot of the new age musicians and vocalist how to use autotune cuz they can actually sing that great that's why people like Chester Bennington who passed away David Draiman. Are the true vocalist of the last 20 years
Supreme Performance!!! What an Extreme Privilege to hear!!!
That voice. One of the most powerful out there.
David is an incredible singer. He isn’t just a screamer.
Wow This song love it and David you sang it beautiful the words bring me to tears every time I listen to it 😢My brother is fighting for his life now he has a very nasty cancer, We are a family of 6 kids my 3 sisters have passed from cancer I am in remission now my youngest brother is fighting for his life ,my oldest brother is the only family member to not have this nasty 🤢 disease...Well done to you David and your awesome band Disturbed loved you guys for a long time ❤️ x
I pray your brother is healing now and your family is not attacked with cancer again.
Amo a sua voz.....❤❤❤
David voice is so amazing! When this song came out my boss at work just died suddenly. He was truly a great man. It was so heartbreaking. We had a gathering to remember him at the baseball field he would coach at. He use to play pro baseball back in the day and we felt holding that gathering there was fitting. I played this song in honor of him. Beautiful beautiful song
YOU GIVE YOUR AUDIENCE THE PORTAL TO THEIR EMOTIONS. THANK YOU, NAMASTE. BRAVO AND BRAVI TO ALL FOR "SOUND OF SILENCE."
I dedicate this song to my mother who left this world two years ago.. Mom this song is for you, I know you are saying this to me.. I love You and I Miss You... Til we meet again :'( ..... Such a Beautiful song
I'm sorry Donna... I feel the same way about my mom. We WILL meet.. I only say that because she passed 3 days after I was born...so, never got to...but WE WILL BOTH be reunited with our mothers
@@marlenedorough454 Thank You
Donna thanks for your post its beautiful! Im 60 lost my mom many years ago, her soul survives within me thanks again!
My 22 year old Grandson Antonio passed away on July 4th. I will always love you and miss you until I meet you again. This is one of the best songs that is helping me out. Thank you Disturbed.
This amazing song called Hold on to Memories by Disturbed will now and forever be played on today, the anniversary of my brother’s passing and on December 2 for my dad (17 years gone). It is elegant, and uplifting and speaks to my heart. If you have ever lost a loved one, you should give it a listen. Love you and miss you terribly Steve. ❤️💔 And thank you to the band for such an amazing song to help us through the tough days.
Love it! Love Disturbed!
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. ❤
The guy on the guitar with backing vocal is beautiful❤
I'd like to dedicate this song to my dad. Passed away in 1986 I was 2. Due to leukemia, his influences in rock n roll are the reason for my passion for music.
I turn 80 in May.. my son played Disturbed singing Sound of Silence and now this song Hold On To Memories.. I am hooked...David has a powerful voice...
Happy early birthday, Sharon!
Every year on December I remember loosing my bestie and 34 others from my company at Kim Son 12/17/66 it’s always been part of me as they were part of me. I keep them alive by living a good life they were cheated out of and I’ll never never forget them. This song has added new meaning to their loss. I make the most of the rest of my life.
Was so lucky so see Disturbed this past weekend at Alexandra Palace, London. Never have I felt emotions like I felt at this gig, David is the most sincere and thought provoked man I've ever seen! Don't even get me started on the voice!!!!! WOW
Having lost my grandfather three weeks ago, I played this song in his memory. This is just an absolutely powerful song. It reminds us all that life is too damn short. We never know when our end will come. So take time out of your day to spend with loved ones. Wether it be friends, family, your significant other, anyone who has made an impact on your life. Because it's those memories that last and make your life memorable
This song always makes me think of my Aunt Nancy who passed in 2020 from a stroke and I couldn't attend her memorial. She was up there in age but would have loved this song. And said "Words to take to heart"...
I lost my soldier boy, my soul mate of 49 years, 6 months, 3 days and 6 hours. My soul yearns for him and my heart breaks every day I continue to breathe. Memories are that I have left.
Stay strong! This comment made me cry like a baby ❤️
Don’t cry for what could have been, smile and rejoice for what was ! :-D
I lost the love of my wife in May of 2020. We'd been together on and off for 25 years, since I was 13 and she was 17. My heart feels heavy and my soul feels empty. I couldn't imagine what I'd feel like after 50 years and I hope for you all the best.
He holds his hands out in faith receiving the spirit....how powerful God is! David knows it!!!
So I am a new friend to Disturbed, I thought David's performance of sound of silence was exceptional
but the more I hear this band"s music the song remember the moments just brought me to tears what a voice David has, what a group
may your memory always survive!
Teresa Moyer Maybe stay away from their music from 10 years ago then...... not everyone’s cup of tea but I love it all.
@@mbrooker79
It took me a while to get to appreciate there music, but I a hard fan now, always will be.
I’ve loved them since the beginning. Such unique music. Not afraid to be different.
My husband passed over 20 years ago. I think of him every day. He will be forever in memory. This song captures that feeling.😢
I lost my lil brother 8 years ago and my older sister 2 years ago. Their memories are locked deep in my heart. Every time I need the strength to go on I listen to this song now and remember them and thank them for inspiring me to get into art.
I am so disabled. I want an end to the pain. I listen to daily. Love you guys! Thank you.
I lost my dad on oct. 30 2018. this song pulls on me. wonderful song. i got through with the help of this band. thank you for your superb ability to write a song. Bret Dorton
so sorry for your loss sending prayers
Sobbing all day because of this wonderful piece of music 😢
Good music can make you so emotional sometimes!
July 2024 and still watching.
I lost my dad ten years ago and my mom nearly two years ago now I'm so glad to have the memories of them I do. They honestly loved one another and I know they are together again. As my dad said life is short you can't let it slip by cherish each day each moment
I love this guy, he's amazing.
