MY FRIENDS AND I REACTION & ANALYSIS TO Disturbed "The Sound of Silence" SHOOK'D 😱 

Paul Simon, of Simon and Garfunkel (the original writers/performers of the song), actually told David Draiman that his cover was the greatest version he's ever heard.

David was trained initially as a Jewish Cantor singing in the Temple. What an amazing vocalist. 😍😻

My mom is in her 60's, I played this song for her a few years ago and she was crying because she liked it so much ❤

I love how he builds it up. Starting soft and ending strong.

you love the song so much you're having an emotional reaction and your friends are like "yeah, it was pretty good." I know the feeling.

Any song that brings such emotional reactions is indeed a great song.

One has never witnessed someone so devoid of emotion and reaction to an artist singing live putting in so much effort and raw emotion into his performance as the young lady in red and white.

David Draiman.....amazing vocalist! From baritone to tenor to distortion....awesome!

David has one of the most beautiful powerful voices ever. It’s hauntingly beautiful ✨✨✨

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.

He has a very powerful voice, very talented band

Best cover song remake ever

Such a pure, clear voice not what you’d ordinarily expect from a metal singer

God is sending a Powerful Warning to ALL of Us in this song...............Hear my words that I might teach you......Take my arms that I might reach you....The Words of the Prophets are written....David's voice brings emotion to every word...Sang from the heart... Even Gods anger,,,,,Beautiful !!!!

Girl in the middle Shoook!!! 😂❤💯✊🏻 Davids voice is insane! Love him

Goosebumps everytime I hear this version and it is 97 degrees out lol

Great reaction ladies,keep them coming !

Dude has such a gift

I've seen a bunch of reaction videos to this song. People that do NOT respond emotionally to this song are truly disturbed. I've seen people giggle and laugh and people that just analyze this performance without responding emotionally. This song is precisely about those people. If that was your initial response to this song, you have serious problems. This song is about you - "People talking without speaking / People hearing without listening".

In answer to your question, the drums are called "Timpani" sometimes known as "kettle drums." Great reaction!

Sooooooooo much better than the original.

If you look at his eyes in this and compare to the official video, you can see the effects of the fever he was suffering. Watch for it in the third verse "people talking without speaking, people hearing..."

I get choked up listening to this. Wow...what a voice!

Hello from California U.S.A girls! Absolutely loved your RV!!! Thank you so much!!!

The three of you are so beautiful ❤️ i love this song and am so glad it is still able to give such emotion ☺️

The drums are called timpanis or kettle drums.

Dave’s voice is bad ass

The original dark video helps convey the message of the song. Which is people not paying attention of what people are pleading for or things happening around them.

Cuando algo tan extraordinario toca y araña el alma, la humaniza. Su voz prodigiosa bellísima arrancada desde lo más profundo de los sentimientos, estamos ante la PURA VERDAD. EL MUNDO ENTERO DEBERÍA ESCUCHADA, SERIA TODO MEJOR. ORQUESTA MAGISTRAL, Y SU VOZ ES INIGUALABLE, BELLÍSIMA, VERDAD.

This dude sounds as good in person as he does on the album. This is a rare thing.

That song and performance brings me to tears also. keep it up. peace from illinois!

I forgot about the song when I saw such beauties!

There is something inside all of us that wants love. To be acknowledged and live for something better

I love how the one on the right pretending to be hating it and left have very lemon faces

He had the flu during this performance

Beautiful song, beautiful Ladies.

Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤❤🔥🔥🔥

To the beauty in the middle, you ARE a Queen!

i like that woman on left...shes so genuine and gorgeous

So basically a full run down on alot. Dave was trained as a Jewish Cantor to sing the Torah, like his father and grandfather. He was sick the night he preformed, told the producers he had it... they still autotuned him and it pissed him off. Simon has also said that the song is now his. And the final piece... the S&G version was a warning, Dave sang it in anger because the warning was not listened to.

David was actually sick when he performed this version..

Remember that film that was so good you didn't want it to end, this is the equivalent but a song

Please have a blessed day ladies

Hiiiii!! From Argentina!!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷❤️❤️

❤️☀️

Ya all are so beautiful!

I so love you beautiful girls. I really feel like this song should unite us all.

This version is so emotional

Peacescent makeover Genius.

Diana Ross and the Supremes like Disturbed! 😀

Chris Cable is a beautiful angel😍😍😍

The song refers to people not talking to each other which is even more prevalent now with texting and the internet

Tip : whenever reacting to a cover , listen to the original and then the cover . After that , you can make your choice .

Best. Cover. Ever.

You cried 😘. You look amazing 😘🥰❤️.

I LOVE your accents...Also, this song hits me emotionally too.

Try being an ex soldier then tell me! There is several of these songs I listen to. But I know how they will make me feel. But I keep coming back to them.

I give my eyes willingly, yes so that you can see. I give to you my arms, so you may reach me❤

Lady on right looks confused 😂😂

The girl in the striped shirt had no interest from the beginning... This song is for you maam

3 reasons why a guy would wake up in the morning & chew there own arm of. nuff said.

The demon 🔥👍great singer

And he did this while feeling sick which is crazy

I feel the same as you when I hear this song.. not joy not sadness but something else

this is one of greatest live performance all time and best covers by far better then original

Genius.

I love their accent! Island Girl accent (I think). :-)

wow she totally ruined the mood due to the time she paused it lol. u could see it in the other two's faces. they were pissed but kept it hidden well.

one enjoying two sleeping... lol

amei sua reação gostaria que você reagisse ao melhor cantor do Brasil Gabriel Henrique música stand up

OUR country """IS""" on the way OUT!.., For it """IS""" written in HIS WORD!!!

Compliments to whoever came up with the name.

David is a classically trained Jewish Cantor. He was also very sick during this performance

If you ladies happen to take requests, I HIGHLY recommend listening to the music of Blackmore's Night

I'm the only one having a hard time understanding these girls English? Apart that, nice reactions. Congrats

from an article i saw when he was on conan that night he had a cold or something

Like your channel name.

Have to read about the history of the song.

Click bait on the pin for the video. Never saw y'all cry or wipe away tears.

Why does everyone pause the song. Right when it gets important?

You are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

This show he had a very high fever was told to to hospital. He said no i got to do the show then i go.

You have a beautiful accent

You should check out the official version with all the visual effects. It's much better

Check out Colm McGuinness craziest bass when he sings

Those are 3 of the most beautiful woman I’ve seen

Try Phil Collins in the air tonight!!!

No one is prepared for this version

Sorry. I just realized you said he was sick. My bad.

No woman will ever make a sound like that. Which is probably a good thing.

Red Stripe Beer is more worried about her nails.

you need to listen to the original by simon and gurfunkel

It's a play of free speech and God... People writing songs never to be heard in the world of silence.

Voice like thunder....

I bet you wouldn’t enjoy there normal kind of music sound 😏

I like the girl on the left

Okay I've seen a few of your videos the girl on your right just seems angry never Smiles the girl on your left just doesn't seem that interested and never Smiles what's up with that.

I know he probably makes more money with the UFC but I really think Dana white should stick to music, he absolutely kills it here!

stripes needs to leave. completely ruins the vibe. even checking her invisible watch. total fail soz guys.

But the woman in the middle was lip syncing so she clearly knew the song.
