I've seen David Draiman sing live, he sounds just like you hear here. The man is a true vocalist. Sure raw, passionate, power. Just ❤

[suckingonsuga]

When he sings the lyrics "To the neon gods they made" I get CHILLS EVERYTIME.

[xanderevans]

Am I the only person who gets teary eyed listening to this song?

A few facts about David Draiman, Disturbed, and this song in general:

-David (the singer) is classically trained in opera. That's why he sounds like a fucking angel. He is also the most mellow, humble guy you'll ever meet.
-This song was originally written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel in 1966. Paul Simon went on record to say that he absolutely loved Disturbed's cover.
-The Sound of Silence is about indifference, intolerance, and antipathy of people in general. It's first version (acoustic) on Simon and Garfunkel's debut album did poorly, but it was remixed into it's current version (electric guitar, drums, ect) and it became the number 1 single overnight.
-Disturbed's songs fall into the Heavy Metal genre, and typically cover themes such as loss, struggles with drug addiction and depression, and civil rights. A good example of the latter would be Ten Thousand Fists.

The one time he legit could've turned the volume up without any consequences lol

The lead Singer, is a Classically trained singer which allows him to do some things that some normal rock and metal singers cant do, which is why he's so great with Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence"

[jenniferballinger]

This is a prophetic song written in 1963 about television and separation of people. It's now in full swing that's why it's this powerful. We are living the sound of silence. Always loved this song. It's absolutely beautiful

This dude said David Drahman looks like Howie Mandel 😭😭😭 💀

[TrailofBen]

Now try ... Down with the sickness.

“I’m scarred and waiting for the song to scare me.”
Who hurt this man?

“Hello darkness, my old friend…” Everybody knows the iconic Simon & Garfunkel song, but do you know the amazing story behind the first line of The Sounds of Silence?It began 62 years ago, when Arthur “Art” Garfunkel, a Jewish kid from Queens, enrolled in Columbia University. During freshman orientation, Art met a student from Buffalo named Sandy Greenberg, and they immediately bonded over their shared passion for literature and music. Art and Sandy became roommates and best friends. With the idealism of youth, they promised to be there for each other no matter what.Soon after starting college, Sandy was struck by tragedy. His vision became blurry and although doctors diagnosed it as temporary conjunctivitis, the problem grew worse. Finally after seeing a specialist, Sandy received the devastating news that severe glaucoma was destroying his optic nerves. The young man with such a bright future would soon be completely blind.Sandy was devastated and fell into a deep depression. He gave up his dream of becoming a lawyer and moved back to Buffalo, where he worried about being a burden to his financially-struggling family. Consumed with shame and fear, Sandy cut off contact with his old friends, refusing to answer letters or return phone calls. Then suddenly, to Sandy’s shock, his buddy Art showed up at the front door. He was not going to allow his best friend to give up on life, so he bought a ticket and flew up to Buffalo unannounced. Art convinced Sandy to give college another go, and promised that he would be right by his side to make sure he didn’t fall - literally or figuratively.Art kept his promise, faithfully escorting Sandy around campus and effectively serving as his eyes. It was important to Art that even though Sandy had been plunged into a world of darkness, he should never feel alone. Art actually started calling himself “Darkness” to demonstrate his empathy with his friend. He’d say things like, “Darkness is going to read to you now.” Art organized his life around helping Sandy.One day, Art was guiding Sandy through crowded Grand Central Station when he suddenly said he had to go and left his friend alone and petrified. Sandy stumbled, bumped into people, and fell, cutting a gash in his shin. After a couple of hellish hours, Sandy finally got on the right subway train. After exiting the station at 116th street, Sandy bumped into someone who quickly apologized - and Sandy immediately recognized Art’s voice! Turned out his trusty friend had followed him the whole way home, making sure he was safe and giving him the priceless gift of independence. Sandy later said, “That moment was the spark that caused me to live a completely different life, without fear, without doubt. For that I am tremendously grateful to my friend.”Sandy graduated from Columbia and then earned graduate degrees at Harvard and Oxford. He married his high school sweetheart and became an extremely successful entrepreneur and philanthropist. While at Oxford, Sandy got a call from Art. This time Art was the one who needed help. He’d formed a folk rock duo with his high school pal Paul Simon, and they desperately needed $400 to record their first album. Sandy and his wife Sue had literally $404 in their bank account, but without hesitation Sandy gave his old friend what he needed.Art and Paul's first album was not a success, but one of the songs, The Sounds of Silence, became a #1 hit a year later. The opening line echoed the way Sandy always greeted Art. Simon & Garfunkel went on to become one of the most beloved musical acts in history.The two Columbia graduates, each of whom has added so much to the world in his own way, are still best friends. Art Garfunkel said that when he became friends with Sandy, “my real life emerged. I became a better guy in my own eyes, and began to see who I was - somebody who gives to a friend.” Sandy describes himself as “the luckiest man in the world.”Adapted from Sandy Greenberg’s memoir: “Hello Darkness, My Old Friend: How Daring Dreams and Unyielding Friendship Turned One Man’s Blindness into an Extraordinary Vision for Life."

I won't lie, this song gives me violent chills everytime

also thank you guys for the amount of likes, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! I hope yall have an amazing day/night

[ryuknightofflame]

I'll be real. When I first heard this cover I got goosebumps and a tear in the eye. There's a gentle power in this song that is quite frankly lacking in most music today.

[meganlodon]

The original was a warning, but Disturbed's cover is anger when the warning was not heeded.

[StephanieDavis-vsmc]

The respect and quiet during this song was unreal. He rocked his entire concert, but when he stepped up to sing this, everyone stopped, no more talking, and listened to his raw beauty. This man can scream rock, and then turn around and sing this. Real artistry and real music. Hands down, one of the best bands I’ve seen.

>First REACTION to "Metal Music"
>Not even one of their metal songs
Good funny right there.

[az_street_walker]

I love how he learned his lesson “I ain’t gonna turn it up”.... “might just turn it down”

Edit: thanks for the likes! I ain’t ever get this type of reaction🤣🤣

Post Traumatic Metal Syndrome: Commonly affects headphone users, the only solution to combat this is to keep your volume down and stay alert!

[aprilleerose]

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.”
