Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence (Live) Lyrics






Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night and touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls" and whispered in the sound of silence

  1. S.... T....

    The fact that this is the most viewed Conan video, by a mile, gives me hope.

  2. w.... ....

    Autotuner

  3. �.... �....

    одним словом офігено,

  4. C.... C....

    I am impressed!

  5. J.... D....

    not bad but i like this version best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6-2ER1IVzo

  6. K.... O....

    The one man that DOESN'T need autotune lol

  7. M.... T....

    Completely BADASS!

  8. t.... ....

    This dudes got one of the best voices I’ve ever heard live. Up there with Stevie nicks. So much power.

  9. F.... L....

    He is super good, I am so good, we r all very good ( o w o )

  10. J.... P....

    Who disliked ?

  11. p.... m....

    The original of S&G is still very awful but the building of this cover you can compare a bit with the Bolero completely with a string orchestra en kettle drums. Very great!

  12. C.... A....

    People need to listen to this song with 'Todd Hoffman' it's so much better in his voice!

  13. J.... B....

    This song is so beautiful by disturbed that my whole body gets chills and goosebumps

  14. J.... T....

    People who dislike it are born with out empathy. The lack of feelings. A narcissist once said to me that when he listen to music all he hears is noise. That made sense to me.

  15. K.... S....

    21k disturbed the silence

  16. N.... C....

    In my mind, this is the best live performance I have ever seen. I highly doubt that I will live long enough to ever see it topped.

    N.... C....

    Naked Coyote Quite so. It’s just amazing.

  17. K.... W....

    Oh. My. God. Wow. I’ve only ever heard the “down with the sickness voice” until now. This is brilliant!

  18. J.... C....

    Wake up humanity. PEACE SEARCH David Icke or Titan Blooded, Robert morning star

  19. M.... M....

    101 million views and counting, good taste is still alive and well 👌

  20. B.... T....

    This is SO FANTASTIC man! Been a very very long time since i got goosebumps. Didn't even know i still could feel this way.

  21. F.... C....

    3:07 to 3:19 .... CHILLLLLLS

  22. W.... L....

    I hate people, 100+ million views. This is horrific cheese-fuckery. Go buy Supreme clothing and genuinely enjoy McDonalds when sober.

  23. G.... b....

    How he got a full Band on a tinny stage

  24. J.... P....

    This remake has turned into one of my favorite songs of all time...Even better than the original...seems like this song and singer were made for each other...I think a million of the views are mine alone

  25. J.... B....

    This brings me to my knees every time I hear it. Happy New Year to all that hope for more in the future

  26. A.... W....

    Bravo!!! Bravo!!

  27. M.... C....

    It was played at my son's funeral beautiful song xxx

  28. D.... M....

    Pretty sure I'm about 99million of these views

  29. P.... M....

    Starting 2020 listen to the peaceful melody thinking about the battles and glorious in 2020.

  30. B.... B....

    I'm so Disturbed by this song

  31. T.... N....

    This guy just took a flame thrower to my top ten list... I don't think there is another singer alive that can touch this guy...

  32. D.... W....

    Haunting vocals

  33. V.... ....

    BLACK EYES...

  34. H.... P....

    This is the most viewed video on Conan's channel
    Pretty much says how good this song is

  35. R.... A....

    People who disliked are deaf

  36. K.... E....

    Want this at my funeral! Beautiful. Better than original!

  37. S.... D....

    Tears....

  38. A.... 5....

    Why does this have 100 million views I see nothing outstanding about it

  39. S.... N....

    Utter brilliance. This guy is a legend. I listen to this over and over again. Heard nothing like it. EVER

  40. P.... S....

    Gohellpoeple

  41. M.... S....

    Bad move, Disturbed, great covet but you distanced you from rock music and album sales dropped dramically

    M.... S....

    What rubbish

  42. R.... B....

    People do not realize how amazing this voice transcends. I put on my headphones and my wife's voice is completely silent and I feel like a god. This voice makes me feel powerful and accomplished. I take off the head phones and life hits me so hard in the face that I go into a ball in the corner of my bedroom . Love you all

  43. L.... A....

    the most accurate rendition I've heard and appropriate for times now as me may be going into a dictator situation here in the states.

  44. G.... H....

    I want DISTURBED on my side in a knife fight.

  45. c.... ....

    When the cover is 100x better than the original

  46. L.... 2....

    This played at my dads funeral.

    L.... 2....

    Your dad would be proud of you for playing this song for him! I'm sorry for your loss, may this beautiful song remind you of your dad forever! Play it often!

    L.... 2....

    Jancouver I appreciate it. Thank you.

  47. S.... H....

    SO beautiful, he has a powerful voice! A God given voice 🙏🏻

  48. J.... B....

    this is quite possibly, the greatest performance, in the history of Conan, on the Conan show.

    J.... B....

    This performance saved his show..

    J.... B....

    E XXk saved it?

  49. S.... K....

    Odavno nisam slusala nesto bolje..savrseno..

  50. P.... ....

    this never fails to give me chills over my entire body

  51. U.... A....

    His voice is a classic ! Love it love it love it. I can listen to this over and over and over and over and over again.

  52. M.... &....

    when he sings it is like a calmness for my brain or something wtf?

  53. K.... D....

    I've HEARD the original but kept LISTENING to DISTURBED's version!

  54. M.... C....

    Every single time I hear this live performance I get chills from head to toe. I've always been a HUGE Disturbed fan, I'm talkin' almost diaper days y'all, and it's easy to see why. His voice is not only FILLED with grit and emotion but he can even project that sound WHILE SITTING DOWN! Anyone who knows about singing knows that is BEYOND DIFFICULT even for the most seasoned vets of singing to do if they are EVER able to do that. It restricts air, constricts the diaphragm....all you need to know is it's HARD and he is truly gifted on a divine level. Beautiful. Always. Even in his grittiest form. Beautiful.

  55. A.... C....

    😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏

  56. S.... B....

    He could sing the phone book and still ROCK IT!

  57. i.... ....

    "Hello darkness my old friend"....this is how I greet my depression

    i.... ....

    insidher but we stand side by side to defeat the foul beast

  58. S.... O....

    Auto tune ruins it for me, why is that necessary?

  59. D.... C....

    Fanfuckingtastic.............

  60. S.... T....

    Wow...what a performance!

  61. O.... ....

    God forbid if Trump wins 2020 I think Disturbed should sing this at inauguration. Just change “neon god” to “orange god”......

    O.... ....

    *Trump for re election*
    Plus Trump should change the law to allow indefinite terms of office so he can continue to be President beyond 2 terms

  62. M.... N....

    21K mixed rap and country fans dislike this.

  63. H.... R....

    I bet he killed his Talent shows as a kid...js...

  64. d.... c....

    Would love to see hit oh holy night.

  65. M.... M....

    101 million views of a stupid song by a stupid band. Only on planet earth is injustice so rampant!👎👎👎🤦‍♂️👎👎👎

  66. m.... s....

    So I only know Disturbed as heavy metal. Never seen this one coming. He puts a bit of a dark twist on this song. I'm really liking what he has done for this song. This guy can actually sing and sounds in different tones that I haven't heard before from him.

    m.... s....

    mike scholten me too! It was such a nice surprise

  67. C.... D....

    His voice registers on the Richter scale

  68. B.... M....

    Bla bla bla ... Metal is no Music .............................. METAL IS THE ONLY MUSIC , because only metal-voice sounds like that !!!!!!!!!!!!! xD

  69. M.... A....

    Absolutely utterly freaking amazing.

  70. M.... S....

    I thought he was just a nother dark man till I herd this song went back all his songs are deep if you listen

  71. M.... W....

    Singing with flu? And two or three notes with autotune?

  72. P.... m....

    I can't believe that my neighbors say this is too loud, it is the sound of silence

    P.... m....

    Paul marsh 😂🤦‍♀️

  73. J.... B....

    You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of 607k thumbs in the air.

  74. S.... ....

    I truly think this performance will go on in time to become an unforgettable.

  75. P.... A....

    Bitchass Conan forced david use a little auto tune

  76. D.... C....

    Sinatra was "the voice"...
    THIS IS "the BEST voice" i have ever heard!💙🤍💖🖤🤍💙
    Sorry 4 my english and Merry Christmas at all!!!
    P.S. Subtitles don't hurt anyone..😉😉😉

  77. O.... ....

    i limit myself to one view per month, otherwise i’d be under a bridge sucking d*** for a view

  78. J.... S....

    Why is this the most popular video on the official Conan channel?

  79. t.... p....

    I AM SPEECHLESS. Absolutely ASTOUNDING. Enough to make a dead man cry. Try to find words in the Dictionary to describe this one. Played it obsessively. It's been a long, LONG time since a song did this much to me.

  80. M.... c....

    Guy could play thanos without practice.

  81. h.... 1....

    superb sound espicially live. Great song and great vocals.

  82. A.... F....

    STUNNING!

  83. l.... ....

    How the **** was I not aware of this performance before? Thank you Youtube Recommendations, for once.

  84. L.... ....

    Magestic

  85. T.... C....

    ❤️🙏🇩🇰

  86. l.... o....

    Why the down votes ? 😑😑😑😑. Some head fucked people out there to not like this .

  87. s.... r....

    This is the musician jack black wants to be

  88. b.... p....

    Its 500M views on the original video! But if this video they released maybe they will get more views... love it.

  89. J.... P....

    So, what was the Audience told who would be playing?

  90. C.... T....

    This leaves a shiver up my back... who says rockers can't sing!

  91. S.... ....

    Worst part about this was his voice and his complete lack of technical abilities

    S.... ....

    Que the *bruh* sound

  92. B.... M....

    Crying tears every time I hear this. Amazing.

  93. P.... S....

    Over 100 million views....astonishing! Not surprising, though. Goosebumps every time I listen to this.
