  I&apos;m 73 and when I first heard this, maybe 5 years ago, I was stunned and obsessed. &nbsp;I still can&apos;t listen to this one without crying. To me, the original was a standard of my youth. It was still hopeful; a warning, but hopeful. David Draiman sang this angrily, a demand that we pay attention: armageddon is here. And now Geoff Castellucci has his version, which - to me - is acknowledgment and sadness. All 3 are glorious and completely different. &nbsp;Thank you for doing this. I&apos;m in awe of Draiman&apos;s power and ability to convey nuance and emotion here.

  Every time I hear this version, I&apos;m on my knees in tears. I believe this is exactly how it needs to be sung heard and felt in our current world.

  i dont know where i read that comment but i like it: the simon and garfunkel version was a warning, the disturbed version was the anger of the warning being ignored.

  Paul Simon said to Disturbed they own the song. He said it should have been sang this way from the first. His song was a warning. Disturbed is the rage the warning was ignored.

  &quot;Never heard this band before&quot; ...There&apos;s a few artists where the phrase &quot;Buckle up buttercup, you&apos;re going for a ride!&quot; is absolutely warranted. XD

  David has probably one of the most powerful voices in metal.

  David really did not want to attempt this song because it&apos;s so iconic. He wasn&apos;t sure he could hit those notes but subsequently decided to make it his own. This version always makes me cry because he makes you realize how angry we all should be. I love the grit and gravel in his voice in the second half.

  David Draiman was originally trained as a Jewish Cantor. &nbsp;This video makes me tear up every single time. &nbsp;Frequently I wind up actually crying.

  I will never forget the powerful effect David&apos;s voice had on me when I first heard this version. You can only hear a song for the first time once but the shivers travel up my back every time I hear it. It&apos;s the anger against the silence, the oppression that moves me. I am glad you have heard it. Thank you.
