im in awe

So.

The Sound of Silence is probably one of my favorite songs ever. When speaking of the “true” Simon and Garfunkel version (as opposed to the version where they added background music to in post to make it more “pop radio”), it’s a song that gives me chills.

Disturbed is not a band that I really enjoy. I remember in college, my (now) wife gave me a copy of a Disturbed CD, because she had two for some reason. I tried to listen to it, I really did. Didn’t do anything for me.

But this? Holy fuck, this is stunning. This is amazing.

This gives me chills.

Holy shit, you have to listen to the whole sing. 

I have chills. 

Holy SHIT.

This is the band who did “Down With The Sickness”????

UM?????

If you stop before three minutes you’re missing the truly mind-blowing bit

@deadcatwithaflamethrower you got me hooked on this song

You’re all welcome.  😀

yeah im gonna reblog this twice in a fuckin row because i have never heard someone more in love with a song they’re paying homage to than this guy

except maybe jeff buckley but he’s an outlier

Disturbed has really only been getting better since Down With The Sickness?  There’s that one song off their 2005 album about “This is the world we live in and these are the hands we’re given, use them and let’s start trying to make it a place worth living in,” and then their album Asylum from 2010 had a song condemning injustices including domestic abuse, and one about how current society is wrecking a bunch of things including the planet and maybe we should not do that, and a powerful song about the Holocaust called Never Again.

Not necessarily what you’d expect from a (stereotypical) metal band, right? Esp. this one if you only heard their first album; I dunno about you, but it makes me feel better knowing there’re big tough-looking metal guys out there on my side who feel the same way I do about some of these things, down to the passionate yelling.

(ETA: I’m not a hardcore fan, just going off what’s in the music. But hey, I’m catching up on the 2015 album now and that’s promising too from what I’ve heard so far.)
