Thanks for that!
Must admit I'd never heard of that band before.
The first time through, Draiman's voice set off all sorts of "familiarity alarms" but I couldn't pin it down. Then I listened to it again and it came to me: he sounds very similar (in many ways: elocution, pacing, phrasing, etc.) to The Crash Test Dummies' Brad Roberts, and
Superman's Song in particular.
Of course the Disturbed cover got me pining for the original. Here's a version that I really like.
And of course this whole thread got me wondering about any other covers out there.
Here's someone I had never heard of also, Nouela, who gives an amazingly chilling version. I just ordered her album
Chants, as a result, even though
Silence is not on it.
I have (obviously) heard (and in fact seen live) Passenger. Here's his take on it.
I could go on (this is fun!) but I'll wrap it up with this one, by Celtic Thunder - which stays closest to the original.
