Wow, I’ve seen Disturbed’s Sound of Silence dozens times since 2020. Explored other covers and full concerts of the band and have become a real fan! I had no clue that they’d covered this? Have always loved Sting and the Police and specifically this song. This cover is incredible! Thank you! I’m a 73 year old grandma, who has loved multiple genres since my parents favorites in the 50s. Added Disturbed to my favorites 2 years ago. I’m more of a rocker, hard rocker, heavy metal listener!
@@willl84 Love Land of Confusion (originally by Geneses) and the video is awesome! Love the new collaboration with Ann Wilson of Heart! Actually like everything they do.
The outward look in Sting's and the inward reflection in Disturbed's contrast completely and change the whole meaning of the lyrics. I love them both. Thanks for taking the chance with my suggestion. I'm happy you liked Disturbed's version.
I'm old enough to have been a fan of The Police and then Sting as a solo artist. I've always loved his voice and this song. But ... I think Sting's version fit me at that place I was when it came out and I was much younger. As I've matured, the Disturbed version appeals to me more because it feels more mature and weighted. Life has weighed me down and what was a bop from Sting suddenly became introspective in a way it never was before. So I do love them both for what they brought to specific times in my life, but Disturbed is the one I have on my playlist today. Great reaction - I love the comparison and you immediately jumped to the conclusions I came to only after I had watched their video a few times. It makes you think though, doesn't it?
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and how the songs have impacted you. That makes a lot of sense. I love the reflection and introspection on your part. How it fit during different seasons of life. I think that’s a great way to approach music and allow it to be art and mean different things at different times. And yes. It def makes you think.
I love Disturbed's covers. Starting with Land of Confusion and ISHFWILF (I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For), Shout, and of course Sound of Silence. So amazing live.
This was released right in the height of the early Covid lockdown. Everyone was scared and lonely and wondering if anything would ever be the same again. Reimagining this quirky little love song into _this,_ into not losing faith in _yourself,_ was precisely what we needed in that moment. It's still chilling and moving now, but when it came out, it just freaking steamrolled me. Over and over, tears streaming down my face...
Do I have faith in the man in my mirror. I truly wonder. Do I trust myself to do the right thing. I always love stings voice. Apples and oranges. Hard to compare.
This was epic! I love Sting as i grew up in the 80’s and loved this song . But Disturbed brings it to another level! The rock that kicked in made it better I think! Awesome and thx for reacting tonit
Awesome breakdown!! I’ve watched a LOT of reactions to this song and you are the first one ive seen that noticed the hidden meaning of not losing faith in yourself in the video. Congrats on being more perceptive than 99% of people. 👏
They kept it very simple so you have a somber tone for impactful lyrics. The chorus got some energy and potency because it highlights the motivational aspect of not giving up. I'm not a huge Disturbed fan, but I love what they did here. For a cover of something from 30-35? Years ago, it was a solid revamping. It was a pretty good choice for the parallels where current events, etc pop those lyrics into relevant dialogue.
They released this when COVID hit and everyone was isolated. NOTE FROM DISTURBED: We have loved this song for a long time, and even though it was released in 1993, it seems strangely applicable to today's world. The song is about losing faith, and might initially sound pessimistic, but it's about the importance and power of personal relationships, and how they can save you and provide solace in an increasingly confusing world.
In to the past. Nice to see the two, both with foreboding messages, but alining with the time of release. Rosalie now come to the future and see "hold on to memories(live version).
Keep in mind that this came out in the fall of 2020, at the height of the pandemic people's faith in the world around them was really shaken and there was so much confusion due to conflicting information. It really was a time when it felt like the only person that you could really believe in was yourself.
This is a good way to start the day, a bit lighter than poet & the pendulum lol. Sting just seems to be to be someone who has always just been around. In the car, at the shops, at people's houses.
I didn't even know that this song was a cover song and the Sting version was amazing but I prefer Disturbed and David vocals just feels like it was their own song 🖤🤘
I've watched many of the reactions to this song on TH-cam, and you are (I'm almost certain) the 2nd who has gotten the symbolism of the reflections. I suppose it is worth mentioning, that Sting (particularly with The Police) has a habit of putting extremely heavy subject matter behind a lighter musical facade. The meaning in a lot of these lyrics is pretty blatant, but Disturbed managed to come up with a different stance to the same meanings, and I think that's kind of impressive.
Sting is for me up there in the top five musical geniuses in recent times. I include Thom Yorke/Jonny Greenwood (can’t separate them) and Lana Del Rey.
you always do a great reaction I am kind of stuck on this one I loved the original when it came out and then Disturbed did this version and I like it it is a great cover but I cant really say they did it better just different is all I can say really and I give them credit for doing it thier way anyway thanks for the fun ride and as always your ride or die forever EyyyyOooo
I definitely agree with you on the idea of this warning about a loss of faith in oneself. All of the people (aside from the creepy politician) are looking at either their own reflection or shadow. It's not the heavy impact of the Sound of Silence cover, but it gets under your skin...
So - was never a fan of Sting after Police, nor this song. So I’m really stoked to see how Disturbed is going to take this on! Hope I’m not disappointed….
New sub here, in truth your reaction to *No Leaf Clover by Metallica S&M* brought me to your channel, but the last few hours I was bingeing on your Tom Macdonald (of which I am now here to join you on your journey ((Hollywood has been given the marching orders to desensitize people to the point of apathy for the real world, so the powers that be can profit off of our demise. Tom Macdonald, with others like minded, who do not want to see this great country tear itself apart by distraction and misunderstanding and have taken the very tool Hollywood has used to put us to sleep, to wake us up and Tom's fan base, like others are growing, so I a great feeling the sleeping giant, ain't so sleepy anymore)). One thing I can say about Disturbed, is some of their catalog is not for the faint of heart, I doubt anyone would ever think of them as a cover band, but they do a masterful job of the covers that they do...do. I would like to recommend Genesis' *Land of Confusion* doing a back to back, definitely gives you a better feel for what was and what is to come. I really appreciate the truth, honesty and integrity that I get from your channel.
Stumbled onto your channel doing a Home Free reaction. Watched a few of them and love your honesty. I don't agree with a few and 100% behind you on others. Refreshing to find a reactor who isn't afraid to give an in depth analysis of not only the music but the meaning as well. Here is a song that has a conflicting message that you might enjoy reacting to. I would love to hear what you think about the song and it's conflicting message. HARDY - Wait in the Truck (feat. Lainey Wilson) (Official Music Video) I also just subscribed.
Similar to their version of Sound of Silence, I appreciate that they didn't just try to replicate the song. They made it their own, and to work in current times. I personally like Disturbed's better, but I tend to prefer harder rock so no surprise lol
I am also old enough to remember when the original came out and, to be honest, it didn't have any particular impact on me. It was quite a nice song but that was as far as it went. However the disturbed version does, and it is not only because of the harder edge in places, but also the fact that it is changing the message to having faith in yourself. As someone who struggles with this, it became that much more powerful.
Sting's version ..it was meant for his voice as works by Steve Stills , Neil Young , others. Metal fans probably think it's better but it wasn't meant to be metal
Hey Rosalie, I'm more of a fan of Stings version to be honest if the whole song was heavy all the way through rather than a switch up I would have been into it more. The original is more upbeat and boppy which I prefer, but the sound of silence did a great job but not my cuppa tea.

Only dozens? 😊
then you ROCK at 73♥️♥️
@@northof4912 Forgot to say that my age I still work or I might have watched it more plus they’re not the only band I listen to.
They covered Land Of Confusion as well. It's really good

Disturbed and David are so damn talented - Sting and the Police aren't too shabby themselves, haha
Disturbed does amazing covers. You should check out their cover of Genesis’s Land of Confusion if you’re familiar with the original.
And Sound of Silence 🔥
She already reacted to that one, that’s why I didn’t mention it.
An emotionally powerful cover.
They released this when COVID hit and everyone was isolated.

Haha yes! He has. Love it :)
@@rosalieelliottofficial gotta love the cover, David Draiman is a vocal beast
Never lose faith in yourself
La version del autor es de lejos la mejor
I didn't even know that this song was a cover song and the Sting version was amazing but I prefer Disturbed and David vocals just feels like it was their own song 🖤🤘
I am going to see Disturbed and Falling in Reverse in May. Can’t wait!!
That is epic

Did you see Miley Cyrus cover Zombie a couple years ago? Worth a look.

Arabic song with eng subtitles 💪💪
