I love the original, and I love this cover. Same lyrics, but different feelings from each.

@QueenOfTheNerds I whole heartedly agree!

A great version! It should be an angry song!
@bijouxbroussard How'd that work out for ya?
@LordShadowfire Wow, I was telling someone this morning you were [b]not[/b] a jerk. They knew you better than I did, obviously. Bye now.
@bijouxbroussard You clearly cannot take a joke. Shadowfire picked up that expression in the mandatory NA group he attended during his incarceration, and you are treating him like Satan for using it.

So angry 🥺
@SW-User Makes sense to me. The despair of trying to teach people to abandon their ways and learn something and very easily lead to frustration and rage.

You notice how he gets all quiet at the very end? That's when the rage passes because he realizes it didn't do him any damn good.

Love both versions of the song -- plus other versions -- but looking at some of the comments makes me wonder just how many people who rhapsodize over "The Sixites" actually remember what it was like? Assassinations, beatings, racism, bigotry, etc., etc.

Good cover of a great song!
ClassicRocker · 56-60, M
@spjennifer Yep, I think so too.

OMG I love that song
ClassicRocker · 56-60, M
@Lilliesandlight It is awesome.

Sounds of silence?
ClassicRocker · 56-60, M
@Dino11 Not much in the way of silence on this version, crank it up!
I will never enjoy this version like the original. It reflected the 60s…this version isn’t that.
ClassicRocker · 56-60, M
@bijouxbroussard I like the original as well, I just think this one has it's place too.
hunkalove · 61-69, M
@bijouxbroussard Sadly, the 60s didn't turn out so well. I can appreciate the anger in this version. That's about all we have left....
I don't say this very often, but I think this version is even better than the original.
ClassicRocker · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire It seems like it's 50/50 on this one here.
@ClassicRocker Like, the Simon and Garfunkel version is a combination of eerie and sad, and the Disturbed version is despair mixed with rage. All because of the same tendencies in people.
