This is a Rave, and it's not revisited as in I posted anything on this subject before, it's just that today I really listened to this song. I can't remember what made me want to listen it initially today, but I decided to listen to the old Simon and Garfunkel version first, I then compared it to the Disturbed version.
Now I remember hearing the S&G release back in the 60's, and to be honest, while I had heard it many times through my preteen and early teen years, I never really put much meaning to the song. I just liked it.
When I had heard the Disturbed version when it came out, I liked it so much I immediately added it to my playlist. Of course I had been a fan of Disturbed ever since David Draiman joined the band in 1996, not much before then. While I wouldn't have said David was the best singer, he really shows his mastery of singing in the Sounds of Silence.
While Sounds of Silence by Disturbed certainly is a S&G cover song, you could also say it is updated to the times. This version, when really listening to it, resonates with me. Sure, one can say it is about music being silenced, but it also can be a sign that communication in general is being silenced. Society today people talk without really speaking, and hears without really listening.
I have listened to this song countless times, but when I'm really focusing on it, I seem to still get moisture around my eyes. Very powerful:
