Ahmed’s message on YouTube post about the cover:
This is the song I decided to end 2017 with, it wasn’t the best year for humanity but it’s alright, life is ups and downs. We definitely learned a lot from this year, so it wasn’t that bad after all. Goodbye 2017 and welcome 2018, let’s see what you got for us.
The song was originally composed in 1964 and sang by Simon & Garfunkel. In recent music history was made popular by rock band Disturbed.
