Sound of Silence

[BradKW]

If you have bandwidth to watch a YouTube video, check out this homage to the Simon and Garfunkle classic by Disturbed...a heavy metal band of all things. This version is vocals only, not instruments, and I found it pretty amazing what he did with the progression"

Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence (Vocal Acapella / Vocal Track)

And here's the both more and less impressive at the same time, non-acapella version:

Well Done. Showing my age, I prefer the Original, but the guy has talent.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been hearing it on the radio lately and couldn't catch the name of the artist.

It's probably one of the few covers of a great original song that compares in quality and doesn't butcher it. I love both versions and was super impressed when I heard Disturbed's version last year.

Same here.  I was just a wee one when the original came out in '64, but by '67 (when I got my first record player) it was on every day, my folks were worried I'd be a weirdo from listening to it.
