@@JPVNG67I disagree completely. Paul Simon wrote the song as a warning literally after waking from a dream. They sang it in that warning type way. Disturbed sang it in a manner that was scolding people for not listening to the warning. Both were and are appropriate for the time they were preformed.

Using that as a criteria I think this might just be the greatest cover of all time, only Johnny Cash's Hurt or Elvis's cover of Bridge Over Troubled Waters are in contention.

Paul also started writing this song when he used to practice in the bathroom of his first apartment to get away from roommates, he said the tile gave a nice reverb, he'd turn off the lights, turn the water on to sound like he was using the bathroom and practice. One evening, "hello darkness my old friend" just fell out as he started strumming, and the rest, according to him, was stuff he heard in English Lit. that was full of brooding angst and he hoped it would impress the ladies.

This is definitely the most incredible voicals I really have heard him sing. He really put his heart and soul into this.
The story I heard is that this is the only cover of one of his songs Paul Simon has linked on his website. Hope this is true, it definitely deserves the shine
This song debuted in 1964, was a huge hit. No one speaking down from the clouds, the message was & is clear. A different arrangement from original, with David Draiman, a trained vocalist with a powerful interpretation of song.
He ran int Paul Simon at a party sometime after this was released. He said he was worried about his reaction to the restyling of one of his classics but Paul loved the way they had re-envisioned it.
When I was young, I liked this song. But this cover, just blew me away. Never had a song give me goose bumps, and spine chills at the same time. The lyrics hit hard.
A lot of metal screamers are amazing singers. It's always a treat when they choose to sing.

Loved your reaction and take on this. I was in college when Simon and Garfunkel did the song and overlooked it except for the line “the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.” He brings out the message so much more powerfully and it pertains even more now. You reflected that beautifully. Luv ya girlie! 😊
Thanks to S & G for writing and recording this classic over 50 years ago, allowing Disturbed, Pentatonix and others to re-interpret the meaning.......a warning against an increasingly detached, unfeeling, cold society.......maybe more relevant today than in the 1960's

One of the best covers ever, IMO. Another of my favorite covers is Shinedown doing the song Simple Man.
David has a beautiful voice when he wants it to be. Disturbed has done several balad type songs, and they're all just beautiful! But I love his hard stuff too! Stupify is still one of my favorites!

Best version of this song I’ve ever heard by far. I like it even better than the original. It brings me to tears just about every time and I’m not one to cry about anything ever. It’s amazing.
Lilly - Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, two New York City boys, wrote the song and lyrics and recorded it in 1964 (there's a theme going on here for you with the 1960s 🤠). They sang and played the song with great sadness and resignation. David Draiman, also a New York City boy, re-interpreted the song. He sang the song as active and angry. The song is about how they saw New York City and its decay. People of the City were strangers to one another no longer verbally communicating, their story of addiction, crime and poverty written in the graffiti on the subway and tenement building walls. Both Art and Paul agreed that David's version is the best cover ever. The theme was repeated in Art and Paul's songs "The Boxer" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
This is my favorite cover of sound of Silence. I love to watch your facial expressions as you listen to the songs.

Fun fact. When David and disturbed covered this song, I want to say it was on Conan. The difference between that time and the music video aside from it being live was David was very sick when he sang this on Conan. As for what song I think is a masterpiece or close to being a masterpiece. Other than this, it would have to be The Light by Disturbed.

Disturbed covered Land of Confusion by Genesis and it was also brilliant. You should check out some of their other songs too. Stricken is a great one to start with.
I am a huge music buff. I spent multiple years searching for and downloading all the greatest songs (in my opinion) ever made. Hundreds and hundreds of hours searching for songs i had heard but had no clue who even sang them. 2700+ songs and 800+ artists later i still could not tell you what any song is about. And really dont know many of the words outside of the chorus'. Cause to me, quite frankly, the words do not even matter. They could be any words. It's the beats and music that makes or breaks songs to me. As long as the words sound like they fit to the music. You can't beat an epic score/beat. Or even the tonality of the singer. So when i say this song is beyond epic.... you know i mean it.
This is the best cover of a really nice song. The way the tempo picks up throughout the song is amazing and is on all of my playlists,
This song is about the failure of communication in modern society. "People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening." In other words, people are not making a genuine effort to understand people they disagree with. Instead, they demonize them and dunk on them on social media. Paul Simon truly was prophetic when he wrote those lyrics back in the 1960s.

This song is based on a American officer in word war 2 and the speech he gave to the German people that were next to a " Death camp" for the jews. When it was discovered what had happened there , the people protested that they had nothing to do with it. His response was that by being silent they gave strength to the Nazis,. " Silence like a cancer grows" Bad things grow in strength and power when no one speaks out and it's greatest ally is "The sound of Silence" When he became aware of the speech and wrote this song at such a young age is just simply mind blowing.
Disturbed does a fantastic cover of Genesis' The Land of Confusion. Worth checking out!
I’ve had the good fortune to see Disturbed LIVE. Dave Draiman is an OLD SCHOOL rocker! You go to a Disturbed concert you get the Real Thing. No canned music. No autotune. The ONLY time was on the hmm what was it? Letterman show? Where he didn’t have the veto of the autotune,, he was stuck with it against his wishes for an authentic live performance.
I can’t recommend The vengeful One from Disturbed enough, it’s definitely one of my favorite songs and music videos of all time. 😄
I always get the chills on this song
Another great cover you should check out is Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.
I heard this song for the first time two weeks ago and I swear it literally has changed my brain chemistry. It’s somehow beyond just music.
Of all the covers and versions of this song, Paul Simon of the original Simon & Garfunkel said that this is the only cover that actually got the point and considers it better than the original that HE and Art composed and sang
Absolutely beautiful ❤ the best cover ever
As others have said, Disturbed also have an amazing cover of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis. I'd recommend the music video too it’s great!
My brother and I played this song at my dad's funeral in 2015. People asked who song this and they didn't believe this was Disturbed. For me it's an emotional masterpiece

That said, as someone to was diagnosed with and lives with PTSD this song was golden to me. "The Sound of Silence" from my point of view is the words not said when something was needed. In that space, your mind fills in the blanks, or in this case. the silence. Glad you enjoyed this. David is an amazing vocalist but is 100% grounded and humble.

David Draiman is a great singer. The ability to go from the gorgeous baritone to the sweet tenor to then transitioning into that growling heavy metal rock vocal - is just awe inspiring. I actually went down a rabbit hole because of this song, finding isolated vocals of hard rock/heavy metal singers, and was just shocked to realize how talented so many of them are - it's not just screeching or growling, so many of them are great SINGERS - just singing a different style than maybe we are used hearing.

This, and cashes hurt
There is two versions of this song where Disturbed does this Simon & Garfunkle song, one of them they do it Live in the talk show Conan on TBS.
To me, Disturbed is a band that I loved as a kid and has been getting better and better as the years go on. Every album has either matched or been better than the last, somehow.
I honestly don't know how you don't tear up with some of these reviews. I'm a straight white male and these songs you're reviewing made me totally emotional. Maybe it's because I studied classical p[piano which has THAT EMOTION BUILT IN.
This song gives me goose bumps.
He (David Draiman) is a professional singer and musician- he just preferred the heavy metal genre, but at the end of the day, he is a professional singer. Whether he is being a Cantor or the lead singer of a heavy metal band, he is talented and professional.
The atory as I understand it is that Simon and Garfunkle wrote the original as a warning about the TV and the faxt that its growing popularity kind of had people talking to each other less and communicating with each other less. It was sort of the advance of technology was going to erode community and interpersonal communication. Simon and Garfunkle were the gentle warning, David and Disturbs' version was the angry 'I told you so' as society breaks down with people talking without speaking and hearing without actually listening to others. Absolutely beautiful cover.
What a great voice. Love this and I’m 81
For those that don't know the background to the song, it is incredibly moving. I won't rewrite in my own words as I won't be able to do it justice, so here it is: Art Garfunkel had finished college and was pursuing music with Paul Simon at the time it was written, but the song goes back to his days at Columbia University in New York City. Therein he met a fellow scholar called Stanford Greenberg. The pair quickly became close friends. Then, suddenly, tragedy struck when Greenberg was watching a baseball game and his vision descended into a blur. He was informed it was merely conjunctivitis, but when he completely lost his sight, it was clear that he had been misdiagnosed. Sadly, glaucoma meant that his optic nerve was no longer functional, and Greenberg was declared blind. He became reclusive and left college in a slump of depression. However, Garfunkel willed him back. He offered up a hopeful beacon to Greenberg to show that he might have lost his sight, but everything didn’t have to perish along with it. Thus, Garfunkel promised to walk him to classes, guide him around campus, and offer up his constant support. The folk singer even adopted the moniker Darkness as a mark of empathy when he was with his troubled friend. (Hence the lyric 'Hello Darkness my old friend') However, knowing that his time beside his friend was numbered, Garfunkel was keen to usher him towards independence. One day, while at Grand Central Station, Garfunkel had to urgently return to university for an assignment he had forgotten about. This meant that Greenberg was abandoned in the hectic melee of New York at its busiest. Despite calling it the “worst couple of hours” of his life, Greenberg persevered and made it back to university where Garfunkel grabbed his arm and told him that the exam was a ruse and he had followed him home the whole way, congratulating him on his independence. This tale would later inspire Simon’s lyrics surrounding the song. The folk anthem is a guide through troubled times, a mark of empathy in turmoil, and a beacon of hope that you are not alone-in short, the same support that Garfunkel offered to his friend. A friend who, ultimately, had a hand in helping the album get made. One day, Greenberg received a call from Garfunkel asking whether he could help fund the $400 that the folk duo needed to record their album. He only had $404 in his bank account, but he gave the full amount
In his younger years, Draiman was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue.
This song was a master piece when Simon and Garfunkel did it, but Disturbed while using the same words and tune made the song sound totally different and still a master piece.
The original by Simon and Garfunkel was a warning.....David's version is anger for the warning not being heeded.
love your facial reactions to his voice/song they exhubit more than what could be spoken...🥰🥰🥰
one, he is classically trained. and I've heard/read comments that the original was a plea to the people, and that this version is the anger that the plea was ignored.
The "Wrong side of heaven" by 5 fingers death punch is a very sad emotional song of people having ptsd and tragedy of soldier's coming all torn up homeless on the streets screaming of hell and war in their thoughts of war.
If you think this one is powerful, try Disturbed's "Hold onto Memories." Heads up, make sure you have tissues. You WILL cry.
The song is actually about a book, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (which is the temperature that books burn at). Incredible sci fi visionary tale of a horrible future. Check out a very radical cover of this song by Nevermore. Very different, but completely recognizable!
That's why I spend lot of time listening all the covers every single artist made... sometimes are better then original. Mr. Dreiman😁 has a background as chorister, this deep tone we can say is "natural" but he really knows how to use his voice.
A Simon & Garfunkel cover, both of them liked this version. They probably couldn’t have sold this version in 1964
A reaction to any song that only gets paused one single time, at the beginning, just speaks volumes on how powerful the art is. Definitely captivating 💯
