Simon & Garfunkel Sound of Silence. But not the version I saw them do in Evanston in 1968.
A new version done by a group whose name gave me pause. Disturbed. I was right about their genre. But their version of this song is what it should have been.
David Draiman starts off in a low register easy version of the first part. But then he builds to a Disturbed version. And the lyrics really demand it. They really apply to today’s society. Paul Simon is a prophet.
The video version.

Many of the vocal coaches and opera singers had concern with his dirty voice. Given the genre of the band I think he knows how to safely do the dirty voice.
A sad fact is that every one of the reviewers was not alive when the song came out. And a few were not aware of the song period.
I did something I have not done in a very long time. Bought a CD for just one song.
Your mileage may vary.
