"Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again" i was clean off meth for 9 months, but decided to relapse, and was driving to the "plug's" house. I listened to this song on the way there, and somehow, those words alone made me decide to turn around and go home. Ive remained sober, going on 6 years of sobriety now.
Congratulations. Very proud of you. I have a nephew who is an addict. He was high or drunk for 10+ years, starting at 14-15 years old. He's been in a treatment program for 2 years now and is FINALLY clean and sober. He has been through hell. I'm sure you have too. Keep up the sobriety, my friend. God has big plans for you.
I'm not sure if you guys read these, but just in case, I'm 71 years old, I was about 13 or 14 when Paul Simon wrote this song and it's always been a favorite. When I heard Ya'll "Disturbed" do this cover, I actually had goose bumps from head to toe. by the time it got to the end ,I had tears in my eyes. You "Disturbed" have brought a great deal of justice to this great hit, and will carry it's legacy for many, many years. Out of the millions of views of this video, I'm sure at least 1000 are mine. The words to the song, mean as much or more now than when written, so many years ago. Even though I'm not a Metal fan, I will always cherish your version. To say this old man is obsessed with this cover, would be a gross understatement, Carry on, and God Bless ya, and THANK YOU, from a Fan, In Tennessee.
I am 61 years old, and for as long as I can remember, I have loved Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence. The message within the song is so piercing, so profound-but Art Garfunkel’s ethereal voice softened its edges, veiling the darkness of the lyrics with its fragile beauty. And then came Disturbed’s version, with David Draiman’s raw, soul-shattering voice. It strips away that veil, laying bare the despair, the urgency, the haunting truth of the words. It is as if the song awakens from a dream, no longer soothing, but demanding to be felt. Every time I hear it, tears overwhelm me. I cry like a child-uncontrollably, from a place deep within my soul. There is no other song like it, no other melody that carries such weight, such anguish, such reckoning. What have we done? What have we become? The song doesn’t merely ask-it accuses, it mourns, it weeps for us all. This song will echo through the halls of my funeral one day. Of that, I am certain. It is not just a song; it is a monument, a mirror to the darkness we have created. And yet, even in its despair, it is achingly beautiful-a requiem for the silence we all failed to hear.
Perfectly stated. As I just watched the news about the nominated, grossly unqualified, defense secretary. Then listen to this song. I worry for the young people who aren't aware of just how off track we as a nation we have gone. This song sums it all up. I remember when I first heard this version. It was played as images of the aftermath of 9/11 were shown. Now it warns of our destruction from wirhin!
I just turned 75. I remember the original by Simon and Garfunkel and loved it. But this version ... the lyrics came alive with meaning ... and your voice delivered it perfectly and and powerfully. It brought me to tears. I have listened to this over and over again. MIght want to come to one of your concerts when you're in the neighborhood. Thank you. Thank you.

I constantly struggle with my mental health and this song reminds me that so many suffer in silence. Remember, you are not alone, we all walk beside you.
Hello so sad to read that , don't know you, but here.s my advice from my heart, whenever you start struggling on it, THINK STRONGLY that u don't need that f......problem, think strongly that the only cure , medicine and solution is YOU , do not use pills , use your internal and mental power, think strongly that everything is fine, WHEN I SAY STRONGLY I REALLY MEAN IT, believe me , with faith in God ( if you are a believer ) or FAITH IN YOU ! you can turn a difficult moment into a wining moment , NO MATTER WHAT OR WHERE, YOU ARE THE SOLUTION FOR YOURSELF, do something different or fun in that moment, don't let that something that does not exist , can go over you, your positive mental power is stronger than bullshit created for your weak side of brain, So if u are a winner, no more mental weakness will come . BELIEVE ME , BUT MOST IMPORTANT , BELIEVE IN YOU ! easy.... a big hug !

We played this at my uncles funeral after he passed on Christmas Eve. He loved disturbed. I miss you Uncle Mark Edit: thank you for all the love you guys, y'all are the greatest. Edit: happy birthday uncle mark. The family got together and listened to this song. We love you.
Mein Vater ist am Mittwoch verstorben… 25 Jahre auf den Tag genau, nach seinem Vater. Ich kann nicht sagen warum aber diese Version, von diesem Lied gib mir Kraft und doch Hoffnung. Ich bin euch auf ewig dankbar und werde euch nie vergessen… DANKE 🙏
The following verse... And in the naked light, I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence The verse makes me think of today with people doing nothing but their heads down texting on their phones, "talking without speaking, hearing without listening". Then with all the violence in public places, this could be the future... "People writing songs that voices never shared, And no one dared" I have been around awhile, grew up in the 60s, and watched what has become. It is very sad. This song, to me, explains what we have become (and becoming) as a people. A great song that hits the heart. Thanks Paul and David.
The soog can also represent the build of inner fire to the injustices, the abuse, and silent struggle with a system that does not value love and compassion. No one dare break the silence less the strength, the resolve should break. There is always the darkest hour before the dawn. Makind is moving through the darkest hour as we discover the truth of corruption in all it's levels, but in doing so we are bringing it to the light and in the end we will break free to a new dawn.
That's it. It's the cold heartless and lost souls who need compassion the most desperately need. We're all bleeding red. We need to come together and unite as humans 😢😢
I lost my elderly mum just over 4 months ago. I used to play music to her regularly of which she loved this song by Disturbed. She was 92 yrs old and had vascular dementia. Makes me cry when I hear this song but I know she is around in love and spirit.
If she was 92 years old I can tell you right the fuck now, she did not like the that group of players. Simon and Garfunkel was who played this song. Not that shit crap remake of garbage
so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 2 years ago and it's as fresh today as it has ever been. Think of the happiness your mum felt in those moments you shared, let that joy into your heart and feel the happiness she must have experienced. You gave her that.

This song brings me back to lonely nights staring at the stars while deployed in Iraq in 04.... the sounds of gunfire and choppers overhead overlapped by the sounds of silence in my own head while watching the stars wishing for a peace I couldn't observe...... thank you for this masterpiece...
Ohl Matthew what an experience you so many soldiers all over the world had to go through. Hope and pray these effects are less than lessened over the years for you and everyone else who lived through war like my moms family moved back to Greece in twenties and stayed throughout world War II in the 40s. She went to three wars the ones the Italians. The Germans and then the Civil War made by the communist up till 1949 when they were brought back to America because they were natural born citizens by the state department.. Mon still had those nightmares up till the 60s. Now she's gone and those nightmares are gone too. And my dad was drafted when he was 35 years old and had a heart attack during the blitzgred in London that partly disabled him. I wish you more peace over the years take care brother thank you
For my people, my city, coffins parading in army trucks ... without the greeting of their loved ones ... only tears in solitude. I love you Bergamo ... we will rise stronger than before
My brother worked in Italy, i went to pick him up in Rijeka,Croatia, when he crosssed border there.He Is well, and doing fine.Now we are quarantined,and i just wanted to listen to this song,,,

Breaks my heart. I was raised by a Marine and I raised one... My only child. My Father survived Pearl Harbor at 15. Yeah, once a Marine, always a Marine. OohRah. Much respect!
Experienced. That is the only word to describe hearing this song. You don’t “listen” to it. You don’t dance to it. You EXPERIENCE it. S&G gave us the poetry, David Draiman gave us the warning.

@@DevourmentDay Please let me take this opportunity to express my most humblest and sincere apologies to you. I had no idea that making a light hearted comment about 1 man's voice in 1 song would have such a profound affect on you. I am mortified that I hurt your feelings and totally disregarded your wealth of knowledge. Knowledge you so gracefully shared with all of us. We are all much better people because you were able to list your favourite singers. I hope this apoloy has improved your quality of life.

The Sound of Silence Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light, I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence

This version of Simon and Garfunkel's song echoes the times in which we now find ourselves... Dark, disturbing and full of rage. I love David's voice, absolutely flawless.
I'll respect your privacy, Pardon me for writing in your comment am impressed by your personality. I admire your kind demeanour. I mean It's quite impressive the way you expressed yourself, and I can tell you are an easygoing person someone worth spending time with. sorry if this sounds weird, but I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends.
If you like THIS version...go find the one from Conan O'Brian's talk show. If at all possible, play it through a really good sound system...one that'll rattle your bones a little. I simply can not get past that first lift without sobbing uncontrollably. Very few pieces of music can do that to me. I'm not going to do it tonight, because I've had a long day and, truthfully, it's a bit exhausting to listen to and watch. But, damn, when I need an emotional cleanse...David Draiman, on that night, sick as a dog with a high fever, (as the legend goes) threw a performance that belongs upon Mount Olympus...but it was given to us mere mortals!

When I was a teenager back in the 70's I recall my dad saying that in 20 years the young people would laugh at my music just like I laughed at his. Now 50 years later I see kids listening to Led Zepplin and wearing Pink Floyd t-shirts and singing "Sound of Silence" I gotta say, Dad (RIP) you know I love you but they don't laugh at our music, they just remake it.
His voice is so incredibly soft and powerful at the same time. I remember when I first heard this version on the morning radio. It was a couple of months after my father's sudden death. My dad had been a Simon and Garfunkel fan. I listened to this cover and had to pull to the side of the road as I was bawling my eyes out. It was cathartic. Thank you for helping me grieve with this song.
Sorry for your lose! Live every day like dad is behind you, and make him proud because of you. I can't even imagine to lose someone from my close family, but I am fightting with my own... because I don't have time for them and I know I will regret once.
@@Gwen34900 wow Gwen I don't know how to say something here.. I feel deep in the painful area of my body the depth of what you said but you and your father.. I can't express any more into words the feeling in my soul can't be explained adjust know that music brings back so many hurts and loves
I’ll be honest. When I first heard that Disturbed made a cover of this song, I was highly sceptical. I love Disturbed, but hearing that they were doing a song by Simon and Garfunkel left me thinking that they were going to end up butchering the original. But then I went in and listened to this song and, let me just say, I was blown away. I’ve now heard this song more times than I can count and everytime I hear it, it’s just as amazing as when I first heard it. I will always love Disturbed, regardless of what other people say.
Couldn't agree more! I usually hate covers, along with movie remakes. This is the exception! There is so much power and depth, so much more than the original. I'm old, remember the lyrics to most S&G songs lol. Hate to admit that I prefer this but I do! Listen to it 2 or 3 times daily lol. Amazing voice and the video is wonderfully dark, just perfect
David may never really know how beautiful and powerful his voice is. This version brought meaning to the song, I lost my sister to cancer, may God bless those who have fought, lost and won the victory of this dreaded disease.
@@ivyivee1042 I heard it when I was 21 .....now I'm 80 . This version, with the great voice , emotion and video brings an awesome dimension to Pauls song . Bravo !
When the original song came out in 1964 I was in the Atlantic on a US Navy Submarine (USS Sailfish SS 572) and could never have imagined that 61 years later I would be listening to this wonderful cover by a guy that wasn’t even born until 1973. WOW. I’m really impressed. What’s more, I’m impressed to still be alive to hear it. LOL

I'm 55 years old and grew up with the song by simon and garfunkel. 95% of the cover versions are garbage, but this version is outstanding. Much better than the original. The powerful voice and the facial expressions touch me to no end. I can't stop listening to this song at full volume.

, Hi from Kerala, India. I turn 70 in March 25. I too loved this song and would listen to this and the other Simon & Garfunkel songs over and over. But the Sound of Silence of Disturbed disturbed me and made me look within to my own areas of darkness and depression. I am not considered depressed by general world standards. I do not want to become non living, but many a time I feel sad and lonely even with my caring and loving family all around me. Until I came across Disturbed, I looked down upon the tattooed garishly made up persons I saw on Social media, and the addicts of San Francisco. There are very few like that here in Kerala. Now this song made me understand the struggle each goes through. Not unlike everyone else’s except for the degree, the support etc. I salute Disturbed and it’s lead singer who turned the song into a revelation and an emotional experience. Thank you I see it and listen over and over and sing along in my own weak voice.

He's using the Ford F25o Power stroke Turbo Diesel. Making 2,oooHP/2,7ooTQ With a 300 2 stage shot of NOS and he uses all of the Bald Eagles and Freedom to sing this song. Seriously every time he sings this song. My Randy Travis Poster gets wrinkled. True Story...
***** some real old songs are starting to come back into circulation but as i said this generation think they know music when they don't like what they think is "ROCK" isn't actually ROCK theres a YT channel called the combat veteran he does a video skit exactly like it where his friend gets into his car and puts on "ROCK" look it up.
I agree this generation lacks an appreciation of good music, but genres evolve over time; there are many sub-genres of rock that you may not like but that doesn't mean they're not rock. They might not be a classic rock and roll band, but they still fall under the category of rock because they belong to a sub-genre of it. Unless of course you're talking about genres that are completely separate from rock, in which case I'd agree.
This song has helped me push through PTSD and depression and had made me carry on. My parents have tried to understand but it is hard for them…the power in this song…it’s beautiful to me and whenever I listen to it, for once everything settles away and I’m just one with the music. He has such a power in his voice that is rarely heard today
First time i've seen the video, what a powerful epic song, think its going to go on my list of all time favourites. Glad this has helped you and hope you are all good, Depression is still a stigma and only understood if you have had it yourself...

Wow, this is astonishly powerful. I've been a hardcore Paul Simon fan my entire life and know next to nothing about Disbturbed, and this is easily the best cover I've ever heard of any of his songs. Definitely in the top five of covers, period. Like others have said, it gave me goosebumps and left me with tears in my eyes.
This is a line that with a change in words means a lot to a depressed person like myself, life, is not measured in the number of breaths you take, but the number of moments that take your breath away-benjerman Franklin

Beat my opiate fentanyl addiction. Carried this song for a long time. This one hit hard and did its job. Love and respect to all of you. Always hold on. Always.
I feel you. This to me is God himself thru Disturbed warning us. There are battles before us and there will surely be loss and pieces to be picked up. But in the end...He sends help. God has already helped you. I too need help. Thank you for sharing.
No matter how many times I hear it, I cannot get over how well done it is. His voice is perfect for it and they build it up perfectly, the crescendo is right where it is supposed to be for that grand ending. Well done, well done.

Paul Simon who wrote this song (and who wrote all the songs-lyrics and music for Simon & Garfunkel) apparently saw Disturbed performing this song on a late night show and contacted the band saying he was very impressed by their "powerful " performance of this song.
I think that most artists don't get upset, when they see another band doing one of their old songs. If anything, it should be flattering to know that your message is still relevant, even if the actual way it is sung, gets updated to a more modern beat and rhythm. In most cases, it is easily recognizable as derived from the original, with many of the basic patterns of notes and melodies being maintained, if slightly altered in tempo and range. This song is a perfect example of that and it goes to show, that another artists vision of the song, can even improve it, from the point of view of the younger generation and sometimes, even the original generation of listeners. However, there will always be those who prefer the original. I like both versions, but Disturbed's version is better, in my opinion. I think the power of the voice behind the message is what Paul recognized. The message was given strength.
Trent Reznor from NIN said the same thing to Johnny Cash about the song "Hurt." At first Reznor was a little put out because of how personal the song was to him but after he heard Cash sing it and saw his video for it he told him this is no longer my song it's yours.
"Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.” Psalms 28:1 Christians, don't be silent, spread the gospel, break the social barriers to reach these people. "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!" Romans 10:14-15

It's 2024 and I'm back at this song, trying to have energy for a new year. All of my friends are enjoying new year, and I'm sitting in a room next to them crying, trying to convince myself that I do not want to die today, I didn't eat in 2 days, but this song gave me hope again and I will try to do better.Thank you for this beautiful song, it was a shit year and the next one i hope to be better. If everyone feels the same as me, let's try to be positive and see the new year as a new chance. Happy new year
I hope you know you matter, your loved, and cared for. You're needed in this world. I hope you find peace within yourself this year. I know it's hard, but hold on, love, you aren't alone, even when you are. There's a world full of people that understand how you feel. 🫶🫶🫶
I hear you. Lost my mom in September. Sister hasn't talked to me. My daughter and my grandkids won't talk to me. I wish I knew why. All I have is silence.
Sherman McClesky You really need to learn what it takes to be a "Rock" or "metal" This rendition has no focus on drums guitar and at best a good voice that borders on screaming like a petulant child,
Metal is defined by who ever listens to it. Metallica is seen as metal by most but is seen as rock by "post core black metal alternative" types. Honestly I see it as if its heavier than Ozzy then it's metal.
I get chills every time I listen to it. This cover surpasses the original sung by Simon and Garfunkel. The intensity, the weight of the words break down my barriers. This song, performed this way, uplifts me. It moves me deeply.

fourirons213 that just proves that even these heavy metal guys that yell through 90% of their song are much more talented than the bubble gum pop crap and hip hop and r&b where 100% of their music is auto tune. This is coming from a guy who grew up listening and still listens to country.
It's fun to see how many of them can actually sing. The dude from Slipknot can sign his fucking ass off too. Check out Stone Sour.... his other band. It's sorta like this on some tracks.
Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."'
@@Spectrum_Country1028 Best wishes to you, to be able to break through that silence, and make progress in communications. If you've never heard it, listen to a song called "Father and Son", by Cat Stevens. It might help you, and your father. Best wishes
This song makes me look at my demons, and say if I dwell, I shall fall but if I if I continue others and I will prosper! Be true yourself, but no love thy neighbor!!
June, 2024 as the world burns, literally and figuratively. I was 15 when the original came out and have loved it all my life and so was very surprised, at the age of 76, how much I liked this version. I was fully expecting to hate it until I got the message from him. Here's why :::;;; politically, I've seen practically nothing change politically in my lifetime for 60 years. Paul Simon gently, politely asked people to pay attention to what's going on around you. But no one has listened for 60 years and so Disturbed comes along:: and they're not softly ASKING you to pay attention, they're fucking ORDERING you to listen, to pay attention, they are tired of people still not listening to what's going on around them 60 years later. He's pissed, it shows, and I agree. He's telling you/ us to pay attention to what's going on••••••right fucking now.❗❗
Yes ❤so true Ireland is going fast I cry for my beautiful country I don’t know parts of it now Dublin has turned in to a kip But enough is enough most of us are not going to tolerate it. Anymore we don’t know who they are no identification, no passports all men the Ukrainians are very domineering not them all but enough of them are We don’t mind genuine? People who will respect us not to try to change us we are Irish Irish we will stay. They are destroying Europe. Right in front of our eyes and I don’t think America is doing any better time to stand up for ourselves. Not with violence.feet on the march no more enough is enough 🇮🇪☘️☘️
I’m hoping that in my next lifetime, this song will still be listened to by my parents. I’ll be that little kid who stops crying when mom plays it. I’ll remember it.

Never thought I would see him do something like this. Even though I don't usually like songs like this. I find this so addictive. The lyrics are just awesome.
Before Paul Simons death, he heard David sing his song in concert, afterwards Simon said, "Its your song now, David". . David cried. Its absolutely amazing how prophetic this song is, cell phones, texting and social media did not exist." Talking without speaking, hearing without listening". David's voice, inflection, and mastery will go down in the annals of music history forever. . incredible performance! MAGNIFICO!

@@DavidDraimanMichael Hey David! I grew up in and around the music business. My Dad was a BMI writer, producer and artist in the 1950's. I saw the good, bad and the ugly of the music business during that time and met many legendary artists, many at my dads recording studio. I spent almost as much time on "Recording Row" 16th Avenue in Nashville as I did my own street in dusty West Texas. The only reason I share this is hopefully to add some credence to my admiration of your gift and artistry. . .I have seen and experienced much. I have never been a fan of Metal, but your rendition of Paul's Sound of Silence is transcendent. I have seen artists become "trapped" in a Chandra that fueled their success and for various reasons never explore other musical expressions. I hope you will explore more releases along the line of Rock Anthems. All the Best- D
Oh shit...I got a whole new meaning out of this cover. His intensity and deepness brought more of a frustrated and angry feel for the state of humanity. I just love how the lyrics are so applicable decades after this song was first written - I have a feeling it will be applicable for years to come.
Liz Xu. I couldn't agree more. Paul Simon rolling into New York at the youbg age of what. 21. When he witnessed and took in, and then wrote of his experiences. Yes more anger and frustration in the state of humanity decades later, sad in itself. When I first heard of this remake I didn't think I would care for it. I was wrong and can't quite listening to it again. Perfect tribute to a genius's work of art.
There will be a time when we'll not sing any songs but still be as frustrated about the state of humanity as you were while listening to this song. That time is near. I only hope that I don't make it to that time ever.
This is probably one of the best songs they've ever done thank you Paul Simon for writing this. I listened to this song constantly when I was in the hospital fighting cancer
Not a huge fan of disturbed. Like a few of their songs, but most of them felt generic over the years, but holy crap this blew me away. Glad to see that he gave the song the respect it deserves, while still making it his own.
I have listen to the others that have made their version of this song and there is no one that can match the way you can sing it. thank you for the remake I think it is great

As a child of the 60's I am very familiar with the original. Paul Simon was foremost a poet. This version brings the force of the words to life. This is not what I'd call a cover. It's the raw interpretation of the poetry! So moving, so forceful, so "disturbing"in these times of division and deception! God help us all!
I posted this song on my FB page December 20th 2015. Time to re-post it. I am amazed at the number of people who still have not heard it for the first time.
@@guybrushthreepwood9532 Expert analysis says a small amount of auto tune. There are several live performances of this that don't sound like they have any auto tune added. Check them out.
johnspartan98 I’m not saying he isn’t talented and that his voice isn’t amazing and emotional, but yes to sing this song in tune he does need auto tune and there is a lot of auto tune used in the live performances.
"Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again" i was clean off meth for 9 months, but decided to relapse, and was driving to the "plug's" house. I listened to this song on the way there, and somehow, those words alone made me decide to turn around and go home. Ive remained sober, going on 6 years of sobriety now.
There is power in his voice and song. Keep up the fight, you got this. Merry Christmas 🎄
Congratulations. Very proud of you. I have a nephew who is an addict. He was high or drunk for 10+ years, starting at 14-15 years old. He's been in a treatment program for 2 years now and is FINALLY clean and sober. He has been through hell. I'm sure you have too. Keep up the sobriety, my friend. God has big plans for you.
I'm so happy for you. It's not a sprint it's a marathon. One step at a time. I lost many people to meth. My younger brother, I miss the most.
Bravo to you!
May Heaven await you.
I'm not sure if you guys read these, but just in case, I'm 71 years old, I was about 13 or 14 when Paul Simon wrote this song and it's always been a favorite. When I heard Ya'll "Disturbed" do this cover, I actually had goose bumps from head to toe. by the time it got to the end ,I had tears in my eyes. You "Disturbed" have brought a great deal of justice to this great hit, and will carry it's legacy for many, many years. Out of the millions of views of this video, I'm sure at least 1000 are mine. The words to the song, mean as much or more now than when written, so many years ago. Even though I'm not a Metal fan, I will always cherish your version. To say this old man is obsessed with this cover, would be a gross understatement, Carry on, and God Bless ya, and THANK YOU, from a Fan, In Tennessee.
[Happiness has increased by 36 points.]
Your light is bright enough to see from New Jersey.
AGREE 100%! Simply, SIMPLE & BRILLIANT....
Cheers sir - good music transcends time and generations indeed.
Cheers from the other side of the world!!
I am 61 years old, and for as long as I can remember, I have loved Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence. The message within the song is so piercing, so profound-but Art Garfunkel’s ethereal voice softened its edges, veiling the darkness of the lyrics with its fragile beauty.
And then came Disturbed’s version, with David Draiman’s raw, soul-shattering voice. It strips away that veil, laying bare the despair, the urgency, the haunting truth of the words. It is as if the song awakens from a dream, no longer soothing, but demanding to be felt.
Every time I hear it, tears overwhelm me. I cry like a child-uncontrollably, from a place deep within my soul. There is no other song like it, no other melody that carries such weight, such anguish, such reckoning.
What have we done? What have we become? The song doesn’t merely ask-it accuses, it mourns, it weeps for us all.
This song will echo through the halls of my funeral one day. Of that, I am certain. It is not just a song; it is a monument, a mirror to the darkness we have created. And yet, even in its despair, it is achingly beautiful-a requiem for the silence we all failed to hear.
Perfectly stated. As I just watched the news about the nominated, grossly unqualified, defense secretary. Then listen to this song. I worry for the young people who aren't aware of just how off track we as a nation we have gone. This song sums it all up. I remember when I first heard this version. It was played as images of the aftermath of 9/11 were shown. Now it warns of our destruction from wirhin!
Now THAT was worth reading! Absolutely, you are a writer! That was beautiful. I do not have the words to describe what you just described. Brilliant!
I'm in tears. Your comment is SOLID GOLD.😭💝
Beautiful words ❤
Me too born in 63
I just turned 75. I remember the original by Simon and Garfunkel and loved it. But this version ... the lyrics came alive with meaning ... and your voice delivered it perfectly and and powerfully. It brought me to tears. I have listened to this over and over again. MIght want to come to one of your concerts when you're in the neighborhood. Thank you. Thank you.

Hi
When Paul Simon himself says " it is now your song" there is no higher praise.....i am dumbfounded at this masterly retelling
Trent Reznor said the same after hearing Johnny Cash's cover of hurt.
Like you say, it really is the greatest compliment one artist cann pay another.
@@StjDUK what an honor!! 🙏❤️
@StjDUK, it's like Paul Simon was saying "man this song was written and waiting for you to sing it. I see that this version has one-billion, (1 billion) views...WOW!!!
It’s still a great song more stories to be told
Do you have a source for this "it is now your song" quote?
I constantly struggle with my mental health and this song reminds me that so many suffer in silence. Remember, you are not alone, we all walk beside you.
Amen.
You aren’t alone brother
Way too many 💔 God can change that to 🙌
Hello so sad to read that , don't know you, but here.s my advice from my heart, whenever you start struggling on it, THINK STRONGLY that u don't need that f......problem, think strongly that the only cure , medicine and solution is YOU , do not use pills , use your internal and mental power, think strongly that everything is fine, WHEN I SAY STRONGLY I REALLY MEAN IT, believe me , with faith in God ( if you are a believer ) or FAITH IN YOU ! you can turn a difficult moment into a wining moment , NO MATTER WHAT OR WHERE, YOU ARE THE SOLUTION FOR YOURSELF, do something different or fun in that moment, don't let that something that does not exist , can go over you, your positive mental power is stronger than bullshit created for your weak side of brain, So if u are a winner, no more mental weakness will come . BELIEVE ME , BUT MOST IMPORTANT , BELIEVE IN YOU ! easy.... a big hug !
We will always walk n talk with you. Life happens in so many different ways. I know. Just keep being and asking. We'll be there. Cuz we know
2025 Anyone?
Binge watching reactions to this. Was one of my wife's alltime favorites, until we lost her last July.

We played this at my uncles funeral after he passed on Christmas Eve. He loved disturbed. I miss you Uncle Mark

Mein Vater ist am Mittwoch verstorben… 25 Jahre auf den Tag genau, nach seinem Vater. Ich kann nicht sagen warum aber diese Version, von diesem Lied gib mir Kraft und doch Hoffnung.
Ich bin euch auf ewig dankbar und werde euch nie vergessen…
DANKE 🙏
So sorry for your loss!!
The following verse...
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
The verse makes me think of today with people doing nothing but their heads down texting on their phones, "talking without speaking, hearing without listening". Then with all the violence in public places, this could be the future... "People writing songs that voices never shared, And no one dared" I have been around awhile, grew up in the 60s, and watched what has become. It is very sad. This song, to me, explains what we have become (and becoming) as a people. A great song that hits the heart. Thanks Paul and David.
I am from Hungary, but I feel the same.
The soog can also represent the build of inner fire to the injustices, the abuse, and silent struggle with a system that does not value love and compassion. No one dare break the silence less the strength, the resolve should break. There is always the darkest hour before the dawn. Makind is moving through the darkest hour as we discover the truth of corruption in all it's levels, but in doing so we are bringing it to the light and in the end we will break free to a new dawn.
That's it. It's the cold heartless and lost souls who need compassion the most desperately need. We're all bleeding red. We need to come together and unite as humans 😢😢
Prophecy
Great voice. Does he do musical theatre too? I know he's well known but this is my first exposure to his music. More familiar with Paul Simon.
I lost my elderly mum just over 4 months ago. I used to play music to her regularly of which she loved this song by Disturbed. She was 92 yrs old and had vascular dementia. Makes me cry when I hear this song but I know she is around in love and spirit.
I'm sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful song to remember her by
If she was 92 years old I can tell you right the fuck now, she did not like the that group of players. Simon and Garfunkel was who played this song. Not that shit crap remake of garbage
I believe she's still around you. She still loves you.❤
Sorry for your loss, may she be resting in peace, may her memory bring you more smiles than tears.
so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 2 years ago and it's as fresh today as it has ever been. Think of the happiness your mum felt in those moments you shared, let that joy into your heart and feel the happiness she must have experienced. You gave her that.
Brings back memories.....

thank you for this masterpiece...
I hope you well, my friend!
Ohl Matthew what an experience you so many soldiers all over the world had to go through. Hope and pray these effects are less than lessened over the years for you and everyone else who lived through war like my moms family moved back to Greece in twenties and stayed throughout world War II in the 40s. She went to three wars the ones the Italians. The Germans and then the Civil War made by the communist up till 1949 when they were brought back to America because they were natural born citizens by the state department.. Mon still had those nightmares up till the 60s. Now she's gone and those nightmares are gone too. And my dad was drafted when he was 35 years old and had a heart attack during the blitzgred in London that partly disabled him. I wish you more peace over the years take care brother thank you
Oh dear friend George, your history is even worse. I hope you live well these days...
Sad that humankind still has to fight wars I pray for all of us
I can’t imagine. I am
Glad you endured this
For my people, my city, coffins parading in army trucks ... without the greeting of their loved ones ... only tears in solitude. I love you Bergamo ... we will rise stronger than before
Our prayers are with you Italy, hugs from Ireland.
Much love and light to you
My brother worked in Italy, i went to pick him up in Rijeka,Croatia, when he crosssed border there.He Is well, and doing fine.Now we are quarantined,and i just wanted to listen to this song,,,

The Sound of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

This version of Simon and Garfunkel's song echoes the times in which we now find ourselves... Dark, disturbing and full of rage.
I love David's voice, absolutely flawless.
I'll respect your privacy, Pardon me for writing in your comment am impressed by your personality. I admire your kind demeanour. I mean It's quite impressive the way you expressed yourself, and I can tell you are an easygoing person someone worth spending time with. sorry if this sounds weird, but I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friends.
Which is why Disturbed's version is so perfect. Unbelievable!
If you like THIS version...go find the one from Conan O'Brian's talk show. If at all possible, play it through a really good sound system...one that'll rattle your bones a little. I simply can not get past that first lift without sobbing uncontrollably. Very few pieces of music can do that to me. I'm not going to do it tonight, because I've had a long day and, truthfully, it's a bit exhausting to listen to and watch. But, damn, when I need an emotional cleanse...David Draiman, on that night, sick as a dog with a high fever, (as the legend goes) threw a performance that belongs upon Mount Olympus...but it was given to us mere mortals!

When I was a teenager back in the 70's I recall my dad saying that in 20 years the young people would laugh at my music just like I laughed at his. Now 50 years later I see kids listening to Led Zepplin and wearing Pink Floyd t-shirts and singing "Sound of Silence" I gotta say, Dad (RIP) you know I love you but they don't laugh at our music, they just remake it.
Amen!!!
I'm a 2000s kid, and yes accurate but I prefer your version. I wish I was born in the 70s.

His voice is so incredibly soft and powerful at the same time.
I remember when I first heard this version on the morning radio. It was a couple of months after my father's sudden death. My dad had been a Simon and Garfunkel fan. I listened to this cover and had to pull to the side of the road as I was bawling my eyes out. It was cathartic. Thank you for helping me grieve with this song.
Wow! The fact that there is something
God: Would you like to sing like an angel or a demon?
David Draiman: Yes please
Sorry for your lose! Live every day like dad is behind you, and make him proud because of you. I can't even imagine to lose someone from my close family, but I am fightting with my own... because I don't have time for them and I know I will regret once.

THIS MAN SINGS THIS SONG STRAIGHT FROM HIS SOUL. HE'S MAGNIFICENT!!! HIS VOICE AND RENDITION OF THIS CLASSIC SONG IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!!!
I’ll be honest. When I first heard that Disturbed made a cover of this song, I was highly sceptical. I love Disturbed, but hearing that they were doing a song by Simon and Garfunkel left me thinking that they were going to end up butchering the original. But then I went in and listened to this song and, let me just say, I was blown away. I’ve now heard this song more times than I can count and everytime I hear it, it’s just as amazing as when I first heard it. I will always love Disturbed, regardless of what other people say.
You're absolutely right. I love it.
💕🌹🎶
Sad to say but I actually like this version better than the original and I'm not one for remakes.
It's an awesome take on the original. In fact it's better.
Couldn't agree more! I usually hate covers, along with movie remakes. This is the exception! There is so much power and depth, so much more than the original. I'm old, remember the lyrics to most S&G songs lol.
Hate to admit that I prefer this but I do! Listen to it 2 or 3 times daily lol.
Amazing voice and the video is wonderfully dark, just perfect
I still can't get over how damn good this version is, not something at all I expected from Disturbed.
Or literally from any other singers!!
Well, he WAS classically trained according to him. He just feels most comfortable doing metal I guess
That’s right.
David may never really know how beautiful and powerful his voice is. This version brought meaning to the song, I lost my sister to cancer, may God bless those who have fought, lost and won the victory of this dreaded disease.
i know right
lol
It's 2023 and it's still a masterpiece! It never goes out of style. Years later and it's still one of the best songs ever written.
It was originally released in 1964 by Simon and Garfunkel, they were absolute masters of their time.
Je confirme.Cette chanson est magnifique et la voix est parfaite👍👏👏
I've always listen to this when I was 9 I'm 13
Same still listening this 2023
@@ivyivee1042 I heard it when I was 21 .....now I'm 80 . This version, with the great voice , emotion and video brings an awesome dimension to Pauls song . Bravo !
When the original song came out in 1964 I was in the Atlantic on a US Navy Submarine (USS Sailfish SS 572) and could never have imagined that 61 years later I would be listening to this wonderful cover by a guy that wasn’t even born until 1973. WOW. I’m really impressed. What’s more, I’m impressed to still be alive to hear it. LOL

+chicagotransam That's crap. Watch the interview about producing the song.
, Hi from Kerala, India. I turn 70 in March 25. I too loved this song and would listen to this and the other Simon & Garfunkel songs over and over. But the Sound of Silence of Disturbed disturbed me and made me look within to my own areas of darkness and depression. I am not considered depressed by general world standards. I do not want to become non living, but many a time I feel sad and lonely even with my caring and loving family all around me.
Until I came across Disturbed, I looked down upon the tattooed garishly made up persons I saw on Social media, and the addicts of San Francisco. There are very few like that here in Kerala.
Now this song made me understand the struggle each goes through. Not unlike everyone else’s except for the degree, the support etc.
I salute Disturbed and it’s lead singer who turned the song into a revelation and an emotional experience.
Thank you
I see it and listen over and over and sing along in my own weak voice.

I am in the same situation. I have no words to describe how this has touched me!
Hello, darkness, my old friend.
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone.
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking.
People hearing without listening.
People writing songs that voices never share.
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools," said I, "You do not know:
Silence, like a cancer, grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you,"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said,
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whispered in the sound of silence."
Yes.. Simon Garfunkel sure could write songs...
Nice👌
Coolio
Real mvp
E
This is amazing! Simon & Garfunkel very rarely allow their music to be sang by artists or remade. They must have loved this version.
Thanks for the information. That is very interesting.

Right, right! And I'm not a goose
This man's voice is so awesome....
Love how the classic old songs keep returning.
The old songs never left. They are there, forever, for you to listen to. What a stupid statement.
technically they ain't this generation barely know they exist
I believe he's referring to how they return to popularity despite all the new stuff that's constantly being released. Not a stupid comment.
***** some real old songs are starting to come back into circulation but as i said this generation think they know music when they don't like what they think is "ROCK" isn't actually ROCK theres a YT channel called the combat veteran he does a video skit exactly like it where his friend gets into his car and puts on "ROCK" look it up.
I agree this generation lacks an appreciation of good music, but genres evolve over time; there are many sub-genres of rock that you may not like but that doesn't mean they're not rock. They might not be a classic rock and roll band, but they still fall under the category of rock because they belong to a sub-genre of it. Unless of course you're talking about genres that are completely separate from rock, in which case I'd agree.
This song has helped me push through PTSD and depression and had made me carry on. My parents have tried to understand but it is hard for them…the power in this song…it’s beautiful to me and whenever I listen to it, for once everything settles away and I’m just one with the music. He has such a power in his voice that is rarely heard today
First time i've seen the video, what a powerful epic song, think its going to go on my list of all time favourites. Glad this has helped you and hope you are all good, Depression is still a stigma and only understood if you have had it yourself...
Makes me cry, also builds me up to face another day. I really hope you're doing better 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

Wow, this is astonishly powerful. I've been a hardcore Paul Simon fan my entire life and know next to nothing about Disbturbed, and this is easily the best cover I've ever heard of any of his songs. Definitely in the top five of covers, period. Like others have said, it gave me goosebumps and left me with tears in my eyes.
it's quite simply the most remarkable vocal performance I've ever heard!
I would like to know your other top 4 covers. Yes this is incredible
Listen to Colm Mcguiness cover version, its amazing also.
Its really good
@Ben Sturm I would put Bad Wolves' performance of Zombie cover for The Cranberries in my top 5.
“The music is not in the notes,
but in the silence between.”
― Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I think his quote goes perfectly with this song.
That is an incredibly deep quote from an incredibly talented man
i agree with you he was A pure genius!!

Paul Simon who wrote this song (and who wrote all the songs-lyrics and music for Simon & Garfunkel) apparently saw Disturbed performing this song on a late night show and contacted the band saying he was very impressed by their "powerful " performance of this song.
I remember he told disturbed once that "this was his song now, not mine"
@JamesRichmond yeah and David was crying it got emotional
I think that most artists don't get upset, when they see another band doing one of their old songs. If anything, it should be flattering to know that your message is still relevant, even if the actual way it is sung, gets updated to a more modern beat and rhythm. In most cases, it is easily recognizable as derived from the original, with many of the basic patterns of notes and melodies being maintained, if slightly altered in tempo and range. This song is a perfect example of that and it goes to show, that another artists vision of the song, can even improve it, from the point of view of the younger generation and sometimes, even the original generation of listeners. However, there will always be those who prefer the original. I like both versions, but Disturbed's version is better, in my opinion. I think the power of the voice behind the message is what Paul recognized. The message was given strength.
Trent Reznor from NIN said the same thing to Johnny Cash about the song "Hurt." At first Reznor was a little put out because of how personal the song was to him but after he heard Cash sing it and saw his video for it he told him this is no longer my song it's yours.
Nowadays , nobody can just cover a song in a late night show without asking the copyright question .
This story seems a bit constructed ...
I think he's had a classically trained voice.If not, he's extremely well self taught.
I had NO INTREST IN DISTURBED until I heard this remake and then it touched my heart and could NOT let it go
He is classically trained.
2 tu Ervinas
Or maybe he just talented.
He was classically trained as a cantor in his youth, so yes, he absolutely is classically trained.
"Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.” Psalms 28:1

"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

You really need to learn what it takes to be a "Rock" or "metal"
This rendition has no focus on drums guitar and at best a good voice that borders on screaming like a petulant child,
L.S. Pig Sorry not metal NO guitar solo. just screaming.
john smith metal doesn’t necessarily need a guitar solo and it’s not necessarily screaming either. It’s just aggressive sounding music
Metal is defined by who ever listens to it. Metallica is seen as metal by most but is seen as rock by "post core black metal alternative" types. Honestly I see it as if its heavier than Ozzy then it's metal.
This is probably the greatest cover I've ever heard.

I love the calmer voices of these heavy metal guys. Idk what it is but it just sounds sooooo good.
fourirons213 that just proves that even these heavy metal guys that yell through 90% of their song are much more talented than the bubble gum pop crap and hip hop and r&b where 100% of their music is auto tune.
This is coming from a guy who grew up listening and still listens to country.
biker932012 Never thought of it that way. There are a few bands out today that are truly talented but they're very hard to find.
It's fun to see how many of them can actually sing. The dude from Slipknot can sign his fucking ass off too. Check out Stone Sour.... his other band. It's sorta like this on some tracks.
stone sour is amazing
fourirons213 yes it put me to sleep
Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."'
Love it! Orchestra!!;)

I was 15 when the original came out and have loved it all my life and so was very surprised, at the age of 76, how much I liked this version. I was fully expecting to hate it until I got the message from him. Here's why :::;;; politically, I've seen practically nothing change politically in my lifetime for 60 years. Paul Simon gently, politely asked people to pay attention to what's going on around you. But no one has listened for 60 years and so Disturbed comes along:: and they're not softly ASKING you to pay attention, they're fucking ORDERING you to listen, to pay attention, they are tired of people still not listening to what's going on around them 60 years later. He's pissed, it shows, and I agree. He's telling you/ us to pay attention to what's going on••••••right fucking now.❗❗
Yes ❤so true Ireland is going fast I cry for my beautiful country I don’t know parts of it now Dublin has turned in to a kip But enough is enough most of us are not going to tolerate it. Anymore we don’t know who they are no identification, no passports all men the Ukrainians are very domineering not them all but enough of them are We don’t mind genuine? People who will respect us not to try to change us we are Irish Irish we will stay. They are destroying Europe. Right in front of our eyes and I don’t think America is doing any better time to stand up for ourselves. Not with violence.feet on the march no more enough is enough 🇮🇪☘️☘️
I am sir. Eyes wide open as many. We will stay strong. God bless America this wonderful country.❤❤😢
well, we are, but the ones that deperately need to are turning their head, looking away, and are deaf to it
Hope for the best & prepare for the worst.❤

I’m hoping that in my next lifetime, this song will still be listened to by my parents. I’ll be that little kid who stops crying when mom plays it. I’ll remember it.

( 07/12/2015) well let me know your favorite song of mine**.
He sings so angrily but yet so beautifully
Never thought I would see him do something like this. Even though I don't usually like songs like this. I find this so addictive. The lyrics are just awesome.
You can literally feel the pain he sings with.
+Nathan Watson Sports definitively a beautiful cover of the original Simon and Garfunkel song.
You're prettyyyyy
You know it brotha
Kratos is fucking singing...
I love this version.
I said same thing few weeks back lmao. Kratos
Great
I like that song
hahahahhaa
baw haw haw haw haw
I don’t care about if people say I’m edgy for liking this song, it’s hauntingly beautiful and I love it.
We're all edgy mate
THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!!!
When I listen to this awesome song, so do all the neighbors...
I don't think anyone will think you're edgy for liking an excellent song.
Edgy is a compliment. "Normal" is boring.
Before Paul Simons death, he heard David sing his song in concert, afterwards Simon said, "Its your song now, David". .
David cried. Its absolutely amazing how prophetic this song is, cell phones, texting and social media did not exist." Talking without speaking, hearing without listening". David's voice, inflection, and mastery will go down in the annals of music history forever. . incredible performance! MAGNIFICO!

@@DavidDraimanMichael Hey David! I grew up in and around the music business. My Dad was a BMI writer, producer and artist in the 1950's. I saw the good, bad and the ugly of the music business during that time and met many legendary artists, many at my dads recording studio.
I spent almost as much time on "Recording Row" 16th Avenue in Nashville as I did my own street in dusty West Texas.
The only reason I share this is hopefully to add some credence to my admiration of your gift and artistry. . .I have seen and experienced much.
I have never been a fan of Metal, but your rendition of Paul's Sound of Silence is transcendent. I have seen artists become "trapped" in a Chandra that fueled their success and for various reasons never explore other musical expressions. I hope you will explore more releases along the line of Rock Anthems. All the Best- D
Oh shit...I got a whole new meaning out of this cover. His intensity and deepness brought more of a frustrated and angry feel for the state of humanity. I just love how the lyrics are so applicable decades after this song was first written - I have a feeling it will be applicable for years to come.
Liz Xu actually the fact that it will still be relevant decades later is what makes it so haunting.
Liz Xu. I couldn't agree more. Paul Simon rolling into New York at the youbg age of what. 21. When he witnessed and took in, and then wrote of his experiences. Yes more anger and frustration in the state of humanity decades later, sad in itself. When I first heard of this remake I didn't think I would care for it. I was wrong and can't quite listening to it again. Perfect tribute to a genius's work of art.
Liz Xu agreed
There will be a time when we'll not sing any songs but still be as frustrated about the state of humanity as you were while listening to this song. That time is near. I only hope that I don't make it to that time ever.
Liz Xu to be fair it kinda pisses me off that this song is still relevant half a century later
This is probably one of the best songs they've ever done thank you Paul Simon for writing this. I listened to this song constantly when I was in the hospital fighting cancer
As I listen to it now fighting cancer, may you have good days here forward
The relapse song..
Good luck in your battle , hope it works out for you !
💝
Not a huge fan of disturbed. Like a few of their songs, but most of them felt generic over the years, but holy crap this blew me away. Glad to see that he gave the song the respect it deserves, while still making it his own.
ikr
I have listen to the others that have made their version
of this song and there is no one that can match the way you can sing it. thank you for the remake I think it is great

I do agree He has done an amazing job on this
+Mathew Haight This one is a cover, maybe that's why It doesn't sound generic to you?
That moment when I want to restart my self strength...I take 15mins and listen to this song❣️❣️❣️

This is more than a cover - it's a damned TRIBUTE.
True!
An an anthem of sorts!
Sin lugar a dudas
As a child of the 60's I am very familiar with the original. Paul Simon was foremost a poet. This version brings the force of the words to life. This is not what I'd call a cover. It's the raw interpretation of the poetry! So moving, so forceful, so "disturbing"in these times of division and deception! God help us all!
This man's voice is beautiful.
Lena Earring a friend made a post on FB about songs with favorite vocals, and this was the first song I thought of. So beautiful ❤️
I posted this song on my FB page December 20th 2015. Time to re-post it. I am amazed at the number of people who still have not heard it for the first time.
It’s very nice with a high amount of auto tune yes
@@guybrushthreepwood9532 Expert analysis says a small amount of auto tune. There are several live performances of this that don't sound like they have any auto tune added. Check them out.
johnspartan98 I’m not saying he isn’t talented and that his voice isn’t amazing and emotional, but yes to sing this song in tune he does need auto tune and there is a lot of auto tune used in the live performances.
