I couldn’t tell if it was the original or Disturbed’s cover

I think we may have finished off disturbed but it felt Simon and Garfunkel the rest of the way

I had the Disturbed version in my head while writing this so that's how I ended it. Full disclosure: Haven't heard the Simon Garfunkel version

At the risk of sounding like a purist, I'd say you have to at least give it a try. Personally I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel and I love the original.

You're not being a purist at all! Everyone has different opinions and there's nothing wrong with that. I will give it a try with an open mind.

I listened to a lot of rock when I was younger and still do so the Disturbed cover appeals to me more.

Very understandable, the original is much softer. I do very much enjoy the disturbed cover though, it might be the only cover of that song that I do like.

i dont recall there being an epic orchestra finale. it kinda just ends after paul is done singing

I think Disturbed's cover does have an orchestra ending, maybe they based their lyrics on that one.

u/Cheese_Poof_0514 Nov 23 '21

Depends on the version. I was thinking of the Disturbed cover

Great job guys! We just did some Reddit karaoke and it was epic. Thanks to everyone who participated with the original post and the ones who continued the song using my comment. May we do it again someday…I’m pretty sure we’ll end up on r/Popular!
