I decided to write about this on the spur of the moment.
I was on facebook and the Disturbed page posted this video and I just had to write about it!
Disturbed - The Sound of Silence
This happens to be one of my favourite songs of Simon and Garfunkel and I am overjoyed that one of my favourite bands has done a cover.
David Draiman has such a soothing voice, even with so much power behind it, he still carries this song well. The emotion portrayed comes through. You could say I am biased due to loving this song since I was a child.
I feel that Disturbed kept the slight haunting feeling in the vocals and the melody itself. Disturbed have a piano playing the acoustic at the start of the song. Which I feel was a perfect touch. David projecting his voice closer to the end of the song is beautiful, shows his true talent as a vocalist and that he isnt all about growling and shouting. Sends a chill down my spine.
What makes this song even more special for me is the fact it is a video made by them. It has the band members in it, not their mascot. Its not political. Its a song sung and played with passion.
I haven't listened to the original in so long, but as soon as I played this, I felt emotion grow inside me, remembering how much I loved the original.
I will add the original
Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (1964)
This way, you can listen to both and see just how amazing both of them are. Disturbed really did the song justice. In my opinion.
I hope yoou have enjoyed this song as much as I have, since I was a little girl.
