      @@rc3394Don't blame TH-cam, it's the people or the corporations that own the copyrights that force TH-cam to block certain videos. Some copyright holders don't mind others using their content and some even encourages it while others won't allow it, even if it's broken up with pauses.
      What I've noticed is most musical artists that own their own content usually don't mind it and it's mainly when big corporations own the content that they don't allow it.

    I'm 51 years old and I've been a musician for 38years now.
    IMO this version of Sound of Silence is probably the most powerful song that I've ever experienced.

      In watching the video, their cover and images seem to center upon music. Do you feel from your perspective as a professional musician that they ('Disturbed' and perhaps Paul Simon) are saying something specific about the music industry itself? Or is music simply a metaphor?

      Yes!! It is an experience. I differ slightly in the last part, in that, S&G gave us the warning, and David is now scolding us for not heading S&G's original warning. One last chance, basically. But of course, just my opinion. Most powerful song/message/experience combo I've ever come across.

    I first heard this when I was hard at work, and it came over the radio in the back-round. i am tone deaf, and cant sing a note, but I know, and appreciate people who can SING. Only wish I was graced with that gift. When I heard it, I stopped in my tracks. The hairs on my neck bristled, and my heart missed a beat or two. My soul was opened bare. It was like I was being admonished by an Angel. One of the most beautiful and meaningful songs I had ever heard. To me that is, but that's what its all about, isn't it?

    Great reaction, once again! Best comment I've read about this version of the song was that Simon & Garfunkel gave the warning of where our society was going, and Disturbed's version was anger that we've ignored that warning...I quite literally grew up with the original song, and loved it, but, always felt - like many others - that the music was almost "too soft" for those amazing lyrics. Disturbed's version - and David Draiman's incredible voice! - had as much power as the lyrics...and, this is now my favorite version of the song.

    Everything about this song moves me. The instruments building up in intensity, the visuals of the storyline, even the play of light on David Draiman's face draw your attention to the brilliant lyrics written by Paul Simon. David Draiman's vocal performance was nothing short of brilliant. The way he interpreted the song and his vocal capabilities seals the performance. It is like listening to an angel and a demon contemporaneously. It's become of my favourite songs.

    Loved your reaction! Middle aged woman here closer to 60 than 50. Grew up loving S&G but also fell in love with this version and then went down a Disturbed trip. I've never been into heavy metal, but I now have a number of their songs on my playlist. You must hear "Down With the Sickness" since that is Disturbed's signature song. I went through a depressed period and would play "The Light" on loop sobbing as I drove to work each day, with hope I would get back to light eventually. I did and then looped Are You Ready (Sam de Jong Remix) as I found my strength again.
    There are some who argue over the Sound of Silence versions by Simon and Garfunkel, Disturbed and Pentatonix. I love them all for difference reasons and moods.

    I, personally, love that it starts out almost as a whisper, and becomes more "powerful" as the song goes on.
    People always hear it's done by a heavy metal band and think it's going to be a full screaming version and are ALWAYS surprised.
    This version of Sound of Silence is often referred to as the 'Warning version.'
    In that it feels as though it's more of a warning to people not to stay silent when things aren't right, rather than the 'hopeful' version of the original.

    I salute you for doing a reaction video in the correct way. Too many reaction videos think that they need to pause and give idiotic comments. I've seen other reactions to this video that were paused so they could make stupid comments about his facial expressions, piercings, and such. Breaking the flow of the song because reactionaries believe they need to interject pisses me off. You, my friend- have the correct approach: let the song play, and the look on your face says a thousand words. Bravo!

    What I love about this whole thing is how it all stacks. For example, at the beginning of the song he mentions 10,000 people maybe more. People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. If you want to take this literal, it's talks about everything from politics to the way we are on social media. We throw out opinions but we don't state what we mean anymore. We just keep throwing out facts real quick and fast, but we no longer take the time to actually enunciate what are actual thoughts are. We tell people we hear them but we don't really take anything in. Honestly in this video, The sound of silence probably isn't quiet it's probably just noise. As the video goes on as they pick up each instrument you hear the instrument come into the song. And it's like actual music piercing through the noise something worth hearing as opposed to just 10,000 people speaking but not saying anything.

    • @artisannoteworthy
      @artisannoteworthy ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. Those are, maybe, my favorite lyrics.
      I'm more towards the almost literal meaning of them.
      That we speak with no real meaning behind what we say, almost like we blurt out whatever is in our minds at the time, but we don't TALK about what we should be,
      and we almost 'pretend' to listen to other people, just waiting for our turn to speak again.
      We TALK, but we don't SPEAK.
      We HEAR, others are talking but we don't LISTEN to what they're saying.
      We could also argue 'the neon gods we made' as talking about our phones. We basically can't exist without them anymore. (Nothing against tech, by the way. It just seems to control us at this point.)
      I know this song came out before cellphones were a thing, but SO much of this song translates almost PERFECTLY to modern times.

    David Draiman's voice has such an incredible range due to his classical training from an orthodox Jewish background. As a side note, Paul Simon has said how much he loves this version of his iconic song from back in 1968, and that has to mean a lot. Last time i checked, the official video of this version had attracted over 650 million views, and you can see why.

    Your facial reactions say it all !!! This is an amazing cover of a brilliant song, 1st done by Simon & Garfunkel warning us, if we don't change our ways we are headed for destruction, and Disturbs version is angry, because we didn’t listen to the warnings... 😌 I always feel this song is like a rollercoaster ride, slowly brings you to the top, then crashing to the bottom.....Great reaction, & I still get goosebumps, & I have listened to this song, at least a hundred times!!!

    Thank you very much for making the screen larger and doing a straight on shot for your face.. This literally is by far my favorite cover ever. I didn't listen to Simon & Garfunkel so for me this is a new song and it is my favorite song. It's my ringtone.
    David Draiman was raised as an orthodox Jew. He went to school to become a Cantor. A Cantor sings Everything the rabbi Cantors have very deep, luxurious,, velvety, rich voices That have to sing in low notes and hold them for a while. I love listening to a cant even though it's in Hebrew I don't need to understand it because the passion comes across in the cantor's Voice. Obviously he did not become a Cantor. In an example of art imitating life, there was a movie long ago called The Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond. Neil's character came from a long line of cantors and he was expected to go into the family business. In fact I think he was a Cantor for a while but he wanted to pursue his own music, jazz. So he left being a cantor to pursue his own music. Sounds an awful lot like David
    On September 10th Disturbed released their cover of If I Ever Lose My Faith In You. It's a cover of a sting song. You will really enjoy it. Just like this video not what you would expect from Disturbed

    I much prefer this version to the live version because I think the video had so many more layers to the song with the visuals. And his rage comes across so much more powerful. I think we're supposed to pick up on his rage at the fact that we haven't learned the lesson yet that Simon and Garfunkel sing about Over 50 years ago.
    Paul Simon heard discover bye disturbed and it brought tears to his eyes. He said David draiman was meant to sing this song. Quite high praises.
    I really like their cover of Stings if I ever lose my faith in you. I also like inside the fire. However, it does deal with the very sensitive topic of suicide of which David has a PSA at the beginning regarding suicide. When he was 16 he came across his girlfriend who had committed suicide.
