It's not often a video puts the hook in me like this one has.
An old metal band, Disturbed, has taken an already great classic Simon and Garfunkel song and made it into something magnificent. David Draiman himself was in tears after he left the recording booth and listened to the playback, as was everyone else there.
If you've listened to this one before, cool. If not, trust me on this one. It'll stick to you.

It's good to know I still know a good song when I hear it!
That was truly unexpected. What a voice. Tremendous orchestration and the video was epic. Thank you for sharing that.
Just as good (if not better) live:
when the music stops and you can almost hear the audience picking themselves up off the floor. It loses nothing when they do it live.
But also love S&G's version.
Both are powerful to me.
We are asked to be silent everywhere, by most people because they "cannot handle truth."
"Silence like a cancer grows..."
I've enjoyed some of Disturbed's earlier stuff but then they got too much of that "Metal for Missouri kids" sound that I can't stand; you know -- that Shinedown, Staind, Papa Roach, Godsmack, Drowning Pool type of artless, horrid, earfucking bullshit.
This cover was very, very good, however.
Well chosen!
