In an interview David did, he said he was worried how his fans would react to the song the first time they played it in their lineup since it's very different from what they usually do, but to his surprise he saw fans waving their cellphones and crying because they were so touched by the song as they were connecting to it. After that it became a "must play" song at every concert they did. Paul Simon actually contacted David and told him that he loved the cover so much that he added it to his social media content.

No one EVER expects the level of talent and emotion put into this. Everyone who is told about it expects something completely different from what this cover actually is.

Honestly, this is the best breakdown of his singing i've seen and i've watched a LOT of vocal teachers react to this song. Thank you for the clear concise explanations.

I have watched at least two dozen reaction videos on KZread by vocal coaches and this one was by far and away the best. Your description and break down of what's going on is wonderful for the experienced and laymen. You also put a lot of feeling and raw emotion into your feedback. This day and age with all the lies and misinformation in our lives on a daily basis this type of incredible content is like meditation or therapy. Thank you so much Madeleine!

He was a cantor, as far as I know. So, it makes sense about his range.

I love how she mentioned that it almost had a classical sound to it. Because David Draiman was classically trained and turned heavy metal rocker.

“He’s doing so much awesomeness right there”. My thoughts exactly :)

You really should react to Ghost Love Score - live concert Wacken 2013. Floor Jansen's vocals would give you a lot to talk about voice techniques. But be prepared because Nightwish is a rabbit hole that could take you in a very very long journey.

As someone who can’t sing if my life depended on it, I find your commentary on all the intricacies of voice so interesting! I’m completely tone deaf, and cannot carry a tune, but I do appreciate music. When I first heard this song, I was mesmerized by the lyrics, & while I’d heard the original, I never quite paid attention to all the words. I find this version haunting & often listen to it over & over. I stumbled on your video watching other reaction videos. What’s worth noting is I cannot find one negative reaction to this song.

I was a teenager when Simon and Garfunkel sang this song. Thank you David for this another masterpiece!❤️

Your excitement is amazing! I love when professionals get so moved by another performer.

You: "Lets the despair get through..." Me: "Yeah, well get ready for the anger..."

I fell in love at once the first time I heard this, and the feeling never gets old anytime I listen to it Thanks for reacting to this❤️

I appreciate your comments. I am not a singer nor do I know much about how singers do what they do but, when I listen to this cover the first time I felt it! The second time and dozens of times later I recalled things that I heard from friends and family that are singers and I gained even more respect for David's talent and then rest of the band for what they do. You explained it so well. They encapsulated the whole song! Words, emotion, intensity, feelings and MADE this song!

This was my favorite reaction of any to this cover! You are so entertaining and knowledgeable. I loved your excitement. I also loved, "He has such pretty eyes." He does and his voice is UNREAL!

I am officially a fan!! You are so funny and so down to earth!! New subscriber!!!! I'm loving the fact that you've come to this knowing who David is and what their "usual" sound is lol most vocal coaches I've seen react to his rendition of The Sound of Silence are blown away by his vocal fries and how he can easily switch from tone to tone.

I would love to see your reaction on the cover of Shallow by Floor Jansen ♥️

One of the few songs that truly commands you to listen to the vocals, but when you finally get over the power of the vocals you hear this beauty in the background that perfectly blends the emotion of this song.

I always see the Simon and Garfunkel version as a warning prophecy, and the Distubed version as the anger that the prophecy was ignored and has come true.

The original was a song of disgust of what's happening and the remake was the hatred of what is happening.

Your ability to perceive and convey the poetry behind the music is quite impressive and delightful to watch.

Miss or Mrs. Harvey, Thank You for expressing the absolute skill and presence of David. As for the song, I was dismayed that anyone would dare touch Simon and Garfunkel's master piece. But David and Disturbed completely respected and owned their version to enlist a several generations to appreciate this song and them! I may as a Blue Grass fan never get into Disturbed and their other music, but I will never discredit them. Chris Stapleton of Country music as a writer and singer is excellent. Tennessee Whiskey, Millionaire, Parachute, Maggie's Song, Fire Away, Starting Over and Broken Halos are all great songs by him even if he didn't write them. He owns every song he sings without disrespecting the previous artists. To watch him play his guitar and look at his wife on stage with him you feel his love for music, her and the songs he sings. I believe you appreciate his voice and range and become a fan. maybe we'll see you do a reaction video to his music if you haven't already. I am new to hearing your reaction and I appreciate you expressing through your knowledge and skills YOUR appreciation of real singing talent. Thank You! For those that thumbs down, fear not for it is not out of disapproval of you or David and Disturbed, it is out of their lack of tact and ability. We'll pray for them. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
