Simon and Garfunkel wrote and performed this song in the 60s, Disturbed also did a cover of this a while back, and now Pentatonix. I really enjoy all 3 versions, they each give you a different perspective.
After my first viewing of this video I instantly said that I put it right up there with "Hallelujah". I'm amazed by the sheer amount of reactions to THIS video thst are filling every available space in my TH-cam feed.. more and more daily! I like all 3 vs. of this song that came from Simon and Garfunkel, Disturbed and Pentatonix. I envision a different scenario when I listen to the arrangement and delivery each artist used. Fabulous arrangement here! They really used each members unique vocal range to be able to handle the key change and other challenges the specifics of this song presents for 5 voices and no instruments. well done Pentatonix!
What you are seeing is an example of when art exceeds the artist. All the versions bring new meanings to the lyrics written about 50 years ago by a young man in his early twenties.
many people have said this is their best song they've ever done...even liking it more than Hallelujah...which is saying a lot because that is their most popular song. Superfruit also came out with a new video for a cover of The Promise. definitely think you should check that one out :)
This is definitely NOT my kind of music but penatonix is so talented and I appreciate them doing popular songs their way. Always upvote for originality and talent, no matter the genre.
I can't believe I'm only discovering this phenomenal group now, and all I can say is ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ********************THERE ARE LITERALLY, NO WORDS GOOD ENOUGH******************** ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I'm a big fan of PTX. I'm subbed to your BillyBinges channel as well but for some reason I haven't watched your PTX reactions over here before. Your comment about Scott looking like a mix of Thanos and Thor made me laugh out loud - time to binge all the reactions :D
I get what you were saying about the love they I’ve thru their music & performance, We’ll said! Great reaction! It IS their song now in my opinion! They have so much more amazing music, can’t wait to see you react to more PTX.
It sounded like there were so many parts missing from this cut. Certain lines and such period maybe it was me but you seem to be perfectly in sync. Hmm 💕
Yes, someone listening it to it for the first time wouldn’t notice. The editing is flawless. Several bits are missing I imagine he did this for copyrights?
new subscriber here, love Pentatonix, Avi was my fav... you should check out "Avi Kaplan Overtone Singing Lion Sleeps Tonight - Pentatonix Orpheum Los Angeles 3-2-2014" he is otherworldly
Pentatonix hallelujah, then the official video of Jason Michael Carroll's Alyssa Lies you can tell if it is the official video and there are no restrictions if it starts out stating this was based on a true story and you see a high school teacher talking to his class but wait until the very end there is important information that follows the song
Lol. They are Angels, from heavens top choir at that! Would you expect less than far beyond perfection from them? Yes, a Lioness is a female lion.... The tall one in the middle?!? Lol. Man you are so shook, you can't remember their names.... Lol. Thank you for this! You have another new subscriber, can't wait for more. Maybe I'll even tell you their names some day.... The tall one in the middle; Scott..., [Riffael, now contracted to R’ffael, whose name means “Beacon of Light/Hope. High Prince of the Ophanim, known in Heaven as; The Master “Riff Runner” as well as being heavens First Choirs leader in Michael's absence. Stead-fast Angel of Emotions and Compassion (the “Grease” that smooths the celestial motions, the Heavenly Wheels as it were). Natural height: 11.3 cubits (nearly 17 feet), Wingspan: 26 cubits (39 feet). Current status; volunteer/Human.]
Simon & Garfunkel wrote & performed this song way back in the 60s. It was a beautiful song back then but I like Pentatonix's rendention better. They gave it a little more soul!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
So I happened to show my friend a pentatonix song a few years ago, he got really into them. Then as soon as Mitch and Scott came out as gay, he hated them, like really hated them. It’s really great to see someone hype them up like this. You definitly gained a sub, your reactions are always so great👏🏻👏🏻
That's really a shame that your friend is missing out on some of the best singers of the century just because two of them happen to be amazing queens. Other than Mitch's outfits you can't even really tell they're gay just by the pentatonix videos. They really only show it on superfruit and it's not like they push it into the general audience's faces through their music. The fab 5 aren't out there singing only gay anthems, in fact a large part of what they sing is religious in nature. Hopefully your friend will come around one day.
For some reason the airing of this song flipped through important parts bc these people are talking about a nuclear explosion that ripped through the night to produce the sounds of silence. Then the people talking without speaking, people listening without hearing, people writing songs that no one shared- they're talking about walking zombies left after a nuclear explosion. Then the words of the Prophets, those trying to warn future generations, being written on the subway walls and tenement halls. Every viewer missed these vital parts of the song. Without them, this didn't make the sense that it was supposed to give. After the nuclear explosion, is the sound of silence.
Lioness. Is a word. It means female lion. Simon and Garfunkel the song the original version of this song.Disturbed also has their cover. It's really good but it moves too slow for me.I love this cover. From the 1st 3 notes out of Scott's mouth he just reaches out in grab the hold of you and yanks you in. I love it. I don't know if you've done hallelujah, bohemian rhapsody, imagine And daft punk. These are There are coversThere are covers that get the most reactions. There it is also the evolution of Michael Jackson.
Simon and Garfunkel for when you're feeling sad. Disturbed for when you're feeling angry. Pentatonix for when you need hope.
OMG. This is so true. Thank you
Omg that is truee
"So we gonna act like they don't sound like angels?" LOL I busted out laughing and had to stop the video for a minute
"Five hearts, and they're just opening to you" That is the most accurate way I have heard their singing described. Nice analogy!!!
Matt’s hand motion with “and no one dares” is one my favorite bits.
Simon and Garfunkel wrote and performed this song in the 60s, Disturbed also did a cover of this a while back, and now Pentatonix. I really enjoy all 3 versions, they each give you a different perspective.
I love Scott he is so pretty both in looks and in voice
They compliment each other so well.

THE WAY YOU CALLED SCOTT “Thor and Thanos” BRUH IM DYING
“He kinda look like Thor and Thanos mixed together” 😂
Me too 🙂
many people have said this is their best song they've ever done...even liking it more than Hallelujah...which is saying a lot because that is their most popular song. Superfruit also came out with a new video for a cover of The Promise. definitely think you should check that one out :)
The complete body chills I get from listening to this is astonishing. I am speechless.
Normally it drives me nuts when people pause- but I am WAY too entertained by how genuinely excited you are to give a damn 😅
Me too but he does it right
This is definitely NOT my kind of music but penatonix is so talented and I appreciate them doing popular songs their way. Always upvote for originality and talent, no matter the genre.
I said it on their site, and I will say it again here. THE BEST DAMN VERSION EVER!!!
"billy get yo ass to sleeeeep" IM DEAD
they give me the chills
Notice Scott’s jacket and all the hand motions? Their wizards casting a musical spell.
They did a great job on this cover
When ever they perform I always feel it. Songs I have heard hundreds of times seem to just reach and touch you when they perform them.
This song is SO AMAZING. When the video first came out, I bought concert tickets immediately after seeing it. And they are SO GOOD live, too. Dude.
I love these people! Their harmonies are like heavens gate opening up when they sing.
"5 hearts" describes their dedication to their talents perfectly! Original was by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel in 1964.
I can't believe I'm only discovering this phenomenal group now, and all I can say is ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ********************THERE ARE LITERALLY, NO WORDS GOOD ENOUGH******************** ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

This is a very moving song..
You should react to the Amazing grace my chains are gone" they did a cover for..
It's angelic!!
You make me smile immensely.
So good to see other people react as amazed and appreciative as I was when I heard the pure talent of Pentatonics . 👍
They're amazing! I think this is my new favorite song by them!
Thanos + Thor = Scott 😂💀
Love you Billie! You are just extra and you make me smile!
Please do Pentatonix my favorite things I wanna see your reaction. They are amazing.
LOVED this reaction!
Kevin's trills in his beatboxing give me life 🙌
They DO sound like angels!
Now u know how us Pentaholics feel when Pentatonix sings
6:40 I wish I could relate to that, but I'm forever alone.
However I am picking up what you're putting down.
It sounded like there were so many parts missing from this cut. Certain lines and such period maybe it was me but you seem to be perfectly in sync. Hmm 💕
Yes, someone listening it to it for the first time wouldn’t notice. The editing is flawless. Several bits are missing I imagine he did this for copyrights?
they also did "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from Lion King 1.... just so you know.
Angels choir from heaven itself
I love PTX so much I haven't heard one bad song by any of them they are amazing
5 Hearts is what I saw as well
"Come get this love" - YES!
You should totally check out Can't Hold Us (cover), Making Christmas (cover), Sing (original), etc (pretty much everything they do is awesome!!
Ok I officially love this guys lmfaooo😭😭
We were 2 years and 1 mouth so we listen twice as much as we talk
Personally, I love Disturbed cover of this song. Its amazing!
I don't remember the name of the bass guy. But when he sings solo.... it's Luke broadway heaven!
Another great version of this song
You called Scott a combo of Thor and Thanos mixed together took me out 😂💀
1:33 *sees red solo. party cup*
me- It is officially "party time" with Pentatonix!
I also love the Space Jam poster
new subscriber here, love Pentatonix, Avi was my fav... you should check out "Avi Kaplan Overtone Singing Lion Sleeps Tonight - Pentatonix Orpheum Los Angeles 3-2-2014" he is otherworldly
It has taken this long for you to do another PTX reaction?...hmph. you so CRAAAAZEEEEE!
Feels kind of old. But I'm waiting for it, waiting for it, waiting for it. MITCH SLAP!
Their arrangements are just.... wow
I'm glad you liked this. I'm also glad I wasn't the only one who felt that Lion King influence on that part.
Pentatonix hallelujah, then the official video of Jason Michael Carroll's Alyssa Lies you can tell if it is the official video and there are no restrictions if it starts out stating this was based on a true story and you see a high school teacher talking to his class but wait until the very end there is important information that follows the song
5:18 Exactly
PENTATONIX - STAR WARS MELODY!
AMAZING GRACE BY PTX

New sub! Great reactions buddy.
5:45 here comes simba to the world lol
It WAS theirs... until Disturbed was like, really? Hold my beer....
I can't stand Disturbed's cover.
Everyone has their own opinion of course, but I prefer Pentatonix's version by far.
So I happened to show my friend a pentatonix song a few years ago, he got really into them. Then as soon as Mitch and Scott came out as gay, he hated them, like really hated them.

Yea, what Billy said.

You might not believe it but an even STRONGER version of Sound of Silence was done by "Disturbed". Find it; React to it.
Simon and Garfunkel. They wrote and performed it. They're genius.
You mentioned The Lion King so you need to react to their version Can You Feel The Love Tonight
Mitch has six octave voice.
Lioness. Is a word. It means female lion. Simon and Garfunkel the song the original version of this song.Disturbed also has their cover.
