The Nation of Israel

 

Draiman with his son

                                   Disturbed, with Draiman singing the Israel anthem.

David Draiman is Jewish, was educated in Israel, studied in America.

Each is about 3 min. long, worth listening to at least part of it.  This is a real departure from what I had heard before. His voice is hypnotic.

I met the Disturbed music quite by accident. It was my 10 yr. old gr-daughter who showed me the new cover of Sound of Silence played some selections that I really enjoyed.

Thing is that if I had not fallen in love with David Draiman and his powerful voice, I would never have gone to find his work, even listened to him. Happy accidents.

                                                     One of the guitarists brought his 9 yr old

                                               son, Justin Donegan's birthday. One time

                                              Draiman introduced his pregnant wife with

                                             her pregnant belly.  He was so proud of his

                                          family, and his love for them is awesome.

 HERE: some about his training.

 

Draiman was trained to be a cantor, given the voice.  "As a child I had trained as a cantor, who leads the Jewish congregation in prayer, so I’d had quite a bit of vocal training. And that’s still with me to this day."

 

Daiman considered studying Law or becoming a rabbi. He felt his interest in becoming a rabbi was discarded.  He studied law, planning to become a lawyer, but his voice and talent were not in a law book.

  

Before David Draiman became famous as the singer of the heavy metal band Disturbed, he trained to be a cantor. That didn’t go so well. Growing up in Chicago, he was expelled from three different yeshivas, and after a rowdy night of Purim drinking as a teenager, he blew up his high school rabbi’s van.

 

 

I know that Disturbed is a rock band of some fame, which I am just discovering.

Just really enjoyed listening to his voice and songs. The musicians are incredibly 

talented

 His voice fills the stadium. 

 
There you have it. I have fallen in love Disturbed and David Draiman.

Watching the war in Israel and Palestine, how can we not
be horrified

History teaches so much. Sadly the younger university
students seem to be skewed. Lack of understanding history will
doom generations whose minds reach only so far.

Pray for the Israel. Pray for its people.

 O/t (phys therapy) is moving me along. I am starting to respond to comments.  So glad to see a hope and future. I so appreciated your faithfulness in commenting. You have no idea.

 

 

 

Silence comes in notes.

                                                Simon and Garfunkel

 

My generation, ones who were in their teens and 20s back in the hippy age, Laugh-in, and Star Trek, remember Simon and Garfunkel as voices of our conscience. Paul Simon has such a gift for pulling language together. Such talented young men, writing brilliant meaningful lyrics, Simon and Garfunkel reach into my memories.

YouTube with Simon and Garfunfel

written in 1963 and 1964

My granddaughter Lily recently queried me if I knew "Silence" by a group, Disturbed.  And, "Grandma, have you ever heard of a song, 'Sound of Silence'?"

What?? Sound of Silence? You betcha--Simon and Gar...

"No, Grandma!  By Disturbed?"

I grew silent, as she did magic on my computer and pulled up this video.

 

 

 

 

 Paul Simon endorsed this album. "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day.  First time I had seen you do it live. It is yours. Nice. Thanks."

Few songs have stirred up goosebumps recently.  This performance nailed me to my chair and my eyes to the screen.  As Lily moved to close the site, I pushed the play arrow once more and then once more. 

Simon and Garfunkel's version was one of my youth, where it wove gently through my opinions.  David Draiman, vocalist of Disturbed, sang this version of my adulthood, where life is a whole world in itself.  Our lives were different then, and now so much more by David Draiman.

All that had been seen through decades was reflected by Draiman's voice, singing this song.

This was a post from April 2017. Just heard it played in an ice skating competition. The people in the bleachers watched, gasped, then stood, and then clapped.

Davide Draiman, Disturbed

He talked about this song and recording it. He

remarked that most songs take about thirty minutes or so

to record in studio. This song took

several hours.

Do not find yourselves distracted by his face jewelry.
