This is a cover of the Simon and Garfunkel 1960’s folk classic. S&Gs meaning was that people have lost the ability to communicate effectively and personally due to societal changes. They hear words but aren’t connected to meaning, they talk but say nothing of substance. Disturbed took this a bit further and connected this meaning to music; songs being written but the writers afraid to share their lyrics, the musicians wanting to put a voice to the lyrics; to get the message out, but a chasm of fear and loss of connection separates the two groups. In the end the boat is bridging that chasm and bringing the musicians to the songwriters
This version is great but check out the live version from the Conan show back in 2016. It is better live and you can really feel the emotion in the song better. Highly recommend
It’s about lack of communication in society, when it’s easier to stay silent and about ppl who are hearing u but not really listening to what u have to say
This is my favorite version of this song. Hands down. But a group called Pentatonix does a cover that you might be interested in checking out. If you do one of theirs us Pentaholics (fan base) will come. It’s a great way to grow your channel. If you never heard of them, here’s a brief history. Together since 2011. Over 20 million subscribers. Over 6 billion views. World famous. 3 Grammys & 5 nominations. One this year 🤞🏼. Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The best videos to start with are HALLELUJAH & DAFT PUNK (mash up of their songs) that one was recorded in a closet & shot in a kitchen. It cost them $400 & won them their 1st Grammy. Oh and, they are an a cappella group. No instruments unless you see one. Their beatboxer invented Celloboxing, where he beatboxes while playing the cello. If you have heard of them then, never mind. 😁 but I’d love to see you react to them. 🙏🏼 greetings from Southern California. 🤗💋🥰
