"Voices"
Song

"Voices" is a song by American rock band Disturbed. The song was released in November 2000 as the third single from their debut album, The Sickness. The song charted at #16 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and #18 on the Modern Rock Tracks.[1] The song has been announced for sale on the Rock Band music store.

Music video

The music video of the song depicts a businessman who listens to his Walkman constantly. Throughout the video, he imagines various scenarios involving hostile behavior. As David Draiman speaks the song's bridge to the man, he leaves his office and goes to a concert where Disturbed is performing the song.

Also, throughout the video, the band is performing at the concert, as well as the band members performing in different parts of the man's office.

Live performances

Since its inception into Disturbed's concert setlist, the song has remained something of a staple of their live performances throughout the years, despite lead singer David Draiman's deepened voice. It has been performed at several major music events and festivals, such as Rock am Ring and Music as a Weapon II.

In line with the song's apparent lyrical theme of insanity, when played as the opening song in concerts, Draiman has been seen as being "wheeled" onto the stage in a strait jacket and muzzle in a manner similar to Hannibal Lecter, before breaking free of his restraints and immediately performing his vocals for the song.
