As someone else has said, the Simon and Garfunkel version was a warning - Disturbed's version is rage that the warning was ignored.
Exactly. Thats one of the best descriptions.
Interesting it was one of the few covers Paul Simon really liked.
Pentatonix's is HOPE!
Lol! you stole my thunder! I scrolled down to say nearly the same thing. Honestly, I didn't like it the first time I heard it. Now it's my favorite version for that reason.
THE WARNING The first stanza Simon refers to darkness as being his "old friend" that he came to talk with because he was awoken in the middle of the night, of a nightmare that still lingers in his head, that gives his a considerable amount of distress. So bad that the awful visions were still flashing before his eyes as he is awake.
Second stanza begins setting the scene in which the dream took place: at night, him walking along the cobblestone road where he stops below the light of a streetlight. The cold chill runs up his back, so he lifts his collar to the "cold and damp." Just then, a blight neon sign lit up, showing that he, in fact, was not alone. But there were "ten thousand maybe more" all gathered in the cold night. The people who are talking, not speaking, are politicians, who are using false words to sway the population to vote for them, never revealing true intentions. The people therefore are hearing are not listening.
They are taking these words that are spoken to them in plain value, not examining or putting into depth anything that is said. Because of this, as referred to later, these politicians have formed a government that the people in fact voted for and supported until it began to act as a dictatorship. This seems that Simon is making an inditement to a large government that has taken away the freedoms of its people. A future for America it seemed with the rise of government in world affairs as in entered Vietnam. This "future America" has given Americans everything, and has the power the take it all away, hence the people "bow and pray to the neon god they made."
The Silence that is referred to is the silence of the people, afraid to say anything against the government for fear of death or worse. Simon, or whoever has had this dream, tries to bring people to speak out. Saying "Fools, you do not know, Silence like a cancer grows" that as more are afraid to speak, the more control the government takes and the less anyone will stand up to the new government.
As all hope is about to be given up, someone steps up and says to the crowd that the future they will hold has been written on the walls of subways and tenement halls. This is because this form of protest can be done anonymously, therefore no one can get in trouble for it. This begins the whispering in the silence of the people, and starts the beginning of a revolt.
lyrically one of the best songs ever written
It's sad that this song was originally recorded in 1964...yet the words/ meanings are still relevant today....
Great Reaction! 👊
I've listened to this version hundreds of times in reviews, it's still the powerful song I know.
Did you notice that the audience was completely silent during the performance, they didn’t make a sound until the song ended, that’s a testament to the power of what you said. The music, the lyrics, and David Draiman’s voice combined grabs you, makes you actually listen to what he’s saying, and makes you feel it as well.
I absolutely LOVE their version of this song but I do prefer the offical video- David Draiman was actually quite sick with the flu for the Conan show but insisted he push on and do it anyway. Did pretty well for a sick guy right?! It’s spine tingling for sure.
Do you have a reference for him being sick?
@@Dr_KAP Thanks for the link!
@@johnsmithgames6132 no worries I did have another longer comment and link here but it’s disappeared- I’m guessing they’ve set it up so you can’t post external links in the comments
David’s voice is absolutely amazing. I don’t care what he is singing, I will listen! Been a big fan for many years.
David Draiman was sick that day, that was why he was seated. He was upset because someone decided to apply auto tune on part of the performance. He does NOT need that - his voice is always perfect. I heard someone say that God asked him if he wanted the voice of an angel or a demon and he answered "Yes please!"
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 reactions as always guys 💞
This song was written almost 60 years ago and sadly, it's still relevant today. Great reactions.
I really like this version
Hard to believe Paul Simon was 21 when he wrote this in 1964.
Not your fault, everyone feels the same. I think the folksy way the original was sung took you to the harmonies and away from the lyrics. This song demands that you listen to the lyrics.
Simon and Garfunkel issued the warning, but all people heard was how soothing it was, that always stumped me
Sadly people need to be roared at to listen
But he does sing so beautifully
The official video shows the visual interpretation and the continued crescendo, added rasp and volume and anger to fill our minds with the true understanding of this song...better than the live videos.
I grew up listening to this song by Simon & Garfunkel & have always loved it. Many people have covered this song. Disturbed's version is a much darker take on this song. Peter Hollens & Tim Foust (from Home Free) do a great version of this song. Their voices complement each other perfectly & the layering of their voices is amazing. I hope you will check it out.
Simon & Garfunkel sang this as a gentle reminder to listen to God's words.....Disturbed's version is sung as a much angrier voice of God....Telling us we have failed to heed His warning....I love this version...it's a very powerful performance from David. Thanks for your great analysis and understanding
You two are so kind love it good one heart felt you said everything I got goosebumps with that orchestra was pretty sound
Part of the reason a lot of reactors to this rendition say how they heard the lyrics for the first time, despite hearing the original many many times, is that David isn't just singing the words, he's smashing them into your brain. Truly talking AND speaking.
Disturbed is a heavy metal band. David is a classically trained vocalist and as a child was a trained cantor in the Jewish faith.
I love what you said!
We always HEARD this song when S&G did it, but David makes you LISTEN to him.
💯💯💯
My mother had the Simon
& Garfunkel album, so I know the original very well. Quite honestly I never really liked it. But David Draiman makes you listen. He has added meaning and weight to the lyrics and delivered it with a huge amount of emotion. This cover has gravitas and power, I am addicted to watching reactions to it. Loved your reaction,thank you.
Thank you for finally reacting to this video (waiting since March 7).
It really is the perfect combination of lyrics, music & *that* voice.
This is a stunning masterpiece
I really love your reactions... 😍😍 Best wishes from germany.... Great song, great reaction....
sometimes you should just listen without stopping and just feel it
I love Simon and Garfunkel but this gives me chills and you are right, you really connect with the words.
Absolutely VISCERAL 💔🥺👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. All the feels 💜💜
what a beautiful version of a classic song!.....well done, Bravo!! thanks for sharing :)
I agree with you, the Voice, Lyrics, and the Orchestra produce a phenomenal experience. Watch the official disturbed TH-cam video. The images bring the lyrics to life. Two groups of people, musicians recovering their instruments and sheet music to save the 10's of thousands of people who have forgotten how to listen-
Dropping a line to say hello. Hope all is well with my favorite couple.
We're back after little break! 😉
In the Dutch show "Beste zangers" Henk Poort sang this version to Floor Jansen, also one you should watch.
Always great to see you guys check out songs from different genres... this is a great performance, and so awesome to see a metal voice sing a song popularized for its soft and sensitive tone in its original form. Another group you have reviewed before (Forestella) also did their own version of this song, and there are plenty of great covers of other popular Simon & Garfunkel songs. I know you guys have checked out SoHyang before, but if you guys can check out her version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters", that's another memorable performance!
Bravo! Thank you for a nice reaction. Now, you really should see the official video video, beautifully shot on black and white and depicting the lyrics perfectly. Chao!
Wonderful reaction, ty. Hugs from Sweden.
Love your reaction! Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼
I loved your reaction video. I like the live version but I especially like the official music video they did to this because the visuals bring out the lyrics to this song so extremely well all the way to the very end when the boat with the instruments cross the divide to meet up with those holding the sheet music on the other side. I see so many that cut the video off prematurely at the end and don't catch that last bit of information in their reviews, but to me that ending ties the whole video together by showing us that as a society we need to unite and not have so much division amoung us. I truly love this song!
"Crikey" 🤣 Someone who's first language isn't English using that word after listening to this song cracked me up for some reason. I think it's how everyone feels after hearing this.
I am 320 pounds of (usually) pissed off muscle. I feel like that woman could destroy me with a glance. I do not want to know what that man had to do, to be worthy of marrying her. It's terrifying.
This song.... is amazing..!! greetings from Mexico
Besser als das Original. Normalerweise ist Disturbed Metal und in dem Genre auch super!
Simon and Garfunkel's original version from the sixties is worth listening too. It's good to make a comparison!
Great reaction
mulțumesc foarte mult
Hi….first time I’ve seen you. I must say, you two are so adorable and sweet. I subscribed immediately, and can’t to see more of you. Your reactions were awesome, and you raised some points on this video that I have not seen or heard before. This 65-year-old mother and grandmother is a new fan today! P.S. David Draiman was classically trained as a cantor. After being expelled from 3 different yeshivas, and blowing up his high school rabbi’s van, he wasn’t cut out for the seminary (I paraphrased this fun fact from TH-cam lol)
He was kicked out of one in his freshman year. By the time he was 16 he was a heroin addict. Hard to imagine anybody training him to be a cantor.
@@unknownrider3071 good thing I admitted to paraphrasing TH-cam lol. I tried to find the article I was referring to but couldn’t. He’s said similar things in interviews on TH-cam. Thank you for the reply…
Thank you so much for your kind words! Have a lovely day! 😍
The song takes on new meaning when you see people bowing over their cell phones (neon gods) to text (talking without speaking) on a regular basis. It has changed the nature of human communication and encourages people to self censor (silence) what they truly want to say.
Saludos chicos desde México,un placer ver sus reacciones 👍🇲🇽😉
Crazy good
also check out disturbed's version of 'if I ever loose faith in you"
love the feedback/reaction you both gave....very inspiring! this song reminded me of another song called 'Year of the Cat' by Al Stewart..(which is so well done lyrically and musically)....a story wrapped up in a song that makes one daydream a bit....
Thanks
If you haven't done it already, take my advice and listen to the studio version. Just volume it up, close your eyes and... trust me!
Disturbed version of this song is something so special and one of the most beautiful songs, I dare to say - ever, to me. But you cannot hear what I mean from this live performance.
Funny to listen to Disturbed like this when their music is totally different more heavy rock/metal style =)
Nice reaction... Can u react to GUSTO KO NANG SUMIGAW (live band performance) by Morissette.. Thanks...
This is my number 2 best cover I ever heard.
I feel Paul Simon wrote it as a warning for how the world was becoming.
Now Disturbed released this more powerful version as an angry wake up call that they did not listen, and its worse, warning to do better! :)
My #1 is Nightwish doing High Hopes by Pink Floyd.
My #3 is Bad Wolves doing Zombie by the Cranberries.
Both are worth a listen. :)
Listen to Cake's version of I will survive.
What always strikes me about the lyrics of this song is the genius of having "silence" represent the evil of repression and suppression of free thought, free speech, and free expression by authorities. A deep and disturbing Silence. Funny that the the band that did this is called Disturbed. And of course this rendition is stunning. Better than the original in that it shows the dpeth better.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I strongly suggest you also WATCH the Official Music Video, the presentation is phenomenal
Suggestion = The official video by Disturbed “Hold On To Memories” was released Jan 23rd 2020. “Hold on to Memories" is about not only honoring those we’ve lost, but also making the most of our time with those we still have.
Hope you guys are just on a break. I miss your daily reactions. Hope you are both well
Must React to sabatons Tommy Johansson he does covers and has a hell of a Voice! Start with you raise me up and you Will be hooked
You should also check out this song by henk poort the man floor jansen did phantom of the opera. You can find it on beste zangers 2019
Agreed!
Henk Poorts version th-cam.com/video/q_BJaM-UrXc/w-d-xo.html
I love this song in its original form, or with flutes, or violins, guitar, choruses, or what ever... but ... The Henk Poort version just drops me off my feet, every time.
henk was a poorly done rip off of David in a pathetic voice...
@@nobodyshomeI am sorry Timothy and fully agree with you! It was not my intention to make a comparison between them. David’s version is just perfect, his voice and its use is completely so unique, in a class of its own! Anyone who hears this, will understand that, this cannot be surpassed or compared to anyone. That's quite obvious! Yet Henk, perhaps his inexperienced presence, touches me the most.
Pentatonix does an incredible version of The Sound Of Silence. I would recommend reacting to their version as well. Great reaction!
Can you guys react to - eyes on fire by blue foundation It's a really good song I think you guys would enjoy!!
please, please react to JINJER, 1st Pisces- live session. then perennial live at Wacken. punishment and judgement live sing through, vortex. home back. from there it is all good no matter where you go. love from OZ
HEY¡!!! REACT TO "PURA ALCANTARA" FROM PERÚ! THIS COOL!!
Thank you for reacting to this version of this song. I feel like this one captures the feelings and the intent that Paul Simon was concerned about and wanted to convey as he was writing this song. I feel like the PTX version is much more upbeat and hopeful. I think they are both amazing and I love that the same song can be covered in two such completely different ways and both be so incredible.
PTX just a mediocre cover of David ... if you can't tell that then you are wasting our time...
Now try Henke poort's version on beste zangers....
why waste their time on a garbage cover of David... SMH
@@nobodyshome garbage ? You never listened to it then ....he blows David away . Smh
@@silverblack5475 no... Garbage... he studied for a month to TRY to sing like David with the rasp and vocal Fri. He has no control of his vibrato and is off pitch more than once. I was pretty sure Henk's middle name was "Flat" like much of his oration. Please don't take a low caliber tenor barely in the operatic world and compare him with a voice on loan from God like David's.
Pentatonix also do a cover of this song its different as only Pentatonix do.
voice on loan from God...
Did she say "crikey?"
She did! 😁
Lo peor es cuando la letra de esta magnífica canción se equipara a la versión de iglesia de "padre nuestro" mal.
Good reaction. Good version but Pentatonix does the best version...maybe better than the original
English. No speak it you know it so
Kinda dissappointed since you know "this" song already (version by the Disturbed?)
It would be a different thing if this one is only familiar to you by Simon & Garfunkel previously, the Original from mid 60's....
In this occassion where's the genuine reaction to something new(???) 🙄
✌️😜💥🇫🇮💙💯
@Marko L1977
Should you check out the reaction again, with patiently listen what they're talking, on top of that... (??) 🙄
@Marko L1977
In my original post, what reads between: (....)?
With question mark...
Dämm you folks are sooooo bright and perky to recomment, and you didn't even know it...
Hahaha 😂
It was our first time listening to this version. We said in the video we know the song but never seen this version.
Come on guys one interruption. Per song, and that's it. When you interrupt a song too many times you destroy the flow of the song. I get it you have to do it for copyright reasons. But, and again only one interruption. I'm out.
