BREAKING BENJAMIN - "Dear Agony" | (REACTION) | One of the SADDEST and REALEST Songs I've EVER Heard

[@beckyconner3632]

I had a chance to meet Ben and we were able to talk. I thanked him for songs that helped me through depression and something just clicked. We talked for over 20 minutes about depression and fighting ourselves. He is a great guy after talking with him he said, “People like you and I don’t suffer depression. We battle it. We won’t win every battle but we will win the war.” Their songs are dark, and that makes me delve deeper into myself and I realize no matter how dark the song, there is always a shred of hope.

[@ZmannR2]

That's awesome....thanks for sharing!

[@kylehearnsberger9883]

I think if i ever met him i would be able to die a happy man!

[@sandycheeks9342]

Breaking Benjamin is, in the most weird comparison ever, the vanilla ice cream of metal/hard rock. Now, before you come at me with pitch forks and torches, hear me out. They're comforting. You can go a while without hearing them but as soon as his voice hits... you're home. You know what to expect, and it's just as good as you remember. Sure, there are other flavors that are nice, but vanilla does what it does to a perfection. It's so welcoming.

[@feardabrood]

Breaking Benjamin pulled in a lot of pop and hip hop fans into the rock genre with their music.

[@halometallicalover27]

I was gonna be pissed before I realized you didn't compare them to Vanilla Ice 😂 But, you're completely right. Vanilla ice cream is delicious, comforting, and classic. Same as Breaking Benjamin.

[@arsonbuck]

Hahaha misread the shit out of that and read the Vanilla Ice of metal and got offended as shit lmao but yeah fantastic comparison my guy

[@kingexclusivo]

I wouldn’t consider them metal. They’re mostly hard rock or post grunge

[@ryzone3885]

@@kingexclusivo While I agree with your opinion, "alternative metal" is a thing and is often attributed to Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Shinedown, and a whole host of other bands, and could be the reason Joshua mentioned metal here. Of course, at the end of the day, we know what we like and sub-genres just help us find similar bands. 😄

[@nathanhall9345]

"Evil Angel", while not my favorite song on Phobia, is basically the other side of the coin to this. It's before he got sober, talking about his relationship with alcohol. A lot of songs on Phobia seem to be him dealing with his addiction. It's a dark, painful, gorgeous album.

[@chrismeadows4216]

With those songs, a few are about his fear of flying, his fear of loneliness, and his fear of wasting his life.

[@JaronActual]

YES!! Evil Angel is my favorite BB song.

Alex’s reaction is beautiful and genuine. I’ve loved this song since it first came out, but I never knew the full meaning behind the lyrics. The moment Alex stopped head bobbing and focused on the lyrics gave me goosebumps. It hits hard.

[@galaxiadragon]

Yes, "The Breakup Album." Got me through several difficult times in my life. Very cathartic.

[@alansolano4212]

Yeah me too. It’s gonna sound cliché but Dear Agony helped me get through highschool, so this album is close to my heart and soul and will always stand as my favorite album of all time.

[@_romannumeralthethird_4700]

For me it was Dear Agony and Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces

[@lucylu9624]

You want a war?

[@ryzone3885]

@PapaBigBalls 86 Indeed! And they are all still amazing! While I admit I'm not certain that I've heard all the songs on One-X, I loved the four singles back in the day ("Animal", "Pain", "Never Too Late", "Riot") as well as "Time of Dying" and the title track. "One-X" may be the most encouraging and empowering song I've ever heard from Three Days Grace.

[@maxmyers9700]

Same fam

[@alxrms891]

I been waiting for this for…EVER

[@abzaroth]

I singed this song in 2012 when my mom was in her last days(she died from cancer) at a highschool concert. I dedicated this song to her and also the song Unknown soldier. She will always remain in my heart as a soldier that fought for her family. Love you mom

[@iforgot799]

May she rest in peace 💔 my friend's mother died from breast cancer few months back , it's horrible to be in that situation, stay strong dear stranger

[@TheBeastie35]

The alcoholic side of him committed suicide and no longer exists he didn’t want to be buried by the faceless enemy which is the alcohol.

[@nickelakon5369]

Yea that'd what I felt as well, this song is about Benjamin's symbolic suicide. A death of his previous self brought on by his vices that he would rise from.

[@blackmamba7032]

This hits hard on my end, my dad is an alcoholic and he's the type to use words to cut people down when drunk. I have dealt with a lot of depression through my life because of it. I have had... Those thoughts... But I pushed through. No matter what you are going, for whoever is reading this, you can make it. I believe you can. If I am able to push through the negative thoughts and feeling like I'm literally a waste of space, I know you can too. I am lucky to have friends that are there for me, despite being online. Don't throw everything away, pain is only temporary, we just don't know how long it will last. Look to your friends, talk to them, let them know where you're at. Sometimes having that one person that knows can be enough for a new path to open, a path with less pain.

[@unknowncaveman]

"Dark of You" and "Far Away" are some of my favs from Breaking Benjamin right now, which is tough to choose, there are ALLOT of great and good songs through out the library.

[@bleachdragon88]

Yessss! One of my all time favorite bands! Been listening to them since I was 14. So, more than half my life now lol

[@samuelbonura7439]

This song featuring Lacey Sturm is epic.

[@ryzone3885]

I love what they did with Aurora; Flyleaf, Underoath, Red, Three Days Grace and Cold are all bands that I enjoy, so it was really cool hearing all these great singers of the 2000's chiming in on this release.

[@deeair2942]

I liked it but not as much as the original, I simply can't explain why.

[@urd3nied]

Benjamin Bunrley is the lead singer of BB, he did not comit suicide and I am very glad that I can listen to his songs today

[@zacharykimsey2127]

Dear agony featuring lacy strum is absolutely beautiful.

[@117NateDog]

Not really. She just gets in the way. Ben's vocals are too good. The original is better.

[@zacharykimsey2127]

I mean that's an opinion. A wrong one but one.

[@xPaLmaaHx]

@@117NateDog The reason Ben invited her is bc he know she's been through some shit, she is singing her heart out as he is doing it too, they invited her for a reason, and the song sky rocketed in rock charts so, yeah, the popular opinion is the song is way better in their Aurora version with Lacey Sturm

[@yvonnewoitekaitis2391]

This song touches me deeply! My son was a long time Breaking Benjamin fan and this was the song he used to describe to me how he was feeling when his cancer was taking the last days of his 19 year life.

[@scrawnyxronniex1369]

You should listen to Dear Agony Aurora version ft. Lacey Sturm

[@bizzmoneyb]

check out "Angel's Fall." he had to stop touring because of his issue. then he got all new band mates.. and didnt miss a beat.

[@winiciussuzzi2399]

I really wish the reactors reacted more to Breaking Benjamin, they are such a great band with no bad songs. I have some suggestions: Save Yourself, Unknown Soldier, Sooner Or Later, You Fight Me, You, Skin, Into The Nothing, Failure, Forever, The Dark Of You. I could say many more lol.

[@mattbelcher7135]

Unknown Soldier is such an underrated song by them. That's my 2nd favorite song from BB.

[@winiciussuzzi2399]

I can't choose my favorite song by them, every song is great lol.

[@ChrisJohnson-yc3qu]

One of my favorites! Please check out more of their masterpieces!

[@DerangedVoices]

This is one of the songs I have in a playlist just for depression. When things get really bad, and I think about ending it all, a lot of times listening to that playlist will help me. I'll feel a connection to the songs and they will force my emotions out, making me cry. I usually will feel a little better after getting it out.

[@DragonTigerBoss]

You're never alone, homie.

[@karankapoor608]

More power to you man. Also, you dont have to if you dont want to, but would you mind sharing the playlist? Maybe id discover some songs that i havent heard, and they'll help me as well.

[@sandycheeks9342]

I have to say, even though my reasons don't come from the same background as yours, at 28 I've never been drunk either nor do I ever want to. I respect your belief and I'm glad momma Hef is in a better place. I truly believe that your relationship with her is the reason we have such an awesome, kind, warm individual that we see on KZbin everyday. Bless both of you. You're both amazing.

"I know there's been a lot of Metallica on the album" Uh... yeah, that's typically how albums work 😉 (jk, I know what you meant)

[@bizzmoneyb]

[@silence6697]

I clicked so fucking fast when I saw one of my favorite bands

[@HackerzVerified]

Came back from the military was a mess bottles everywhere I definitely get this song

[@ADDBlacksmith]

I never really thought that the line "I feel nothing anymore" was about suicide, but about that emotionless state you get in when you're Deep into an addiction and nothing matters and the addiction doesnt bring the same feelings that got you addicted. Its usually just before you find rock bottom... or a suicide attempt

[@natecorning3471]

The Aurora version with Lacey Sturm is a must watch. The video is extremely well done, and that performance takes the song to another level IMO

[@Ement]

Alex... PLEASE LISTEN to Arise by Flyleaf. It has such a moving sound and to me, makes me feel so many emotions. Really good song dude

[@mrpogo72]

My dad had a bad drinking problem and battled depression for at least most of his life. He was hospitalized for both at least twice I know of before he died of natural causes at 80. I think at lest subconsciously is why I haven’t been a big drinker since my early 30s. Thankfully I never had a serious problem but I definitely know people who have. I am sorry to hear about your mom tho. Despite everything you seem to have gone thru you seem to have come out the other side ok. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this but I appreciate your channel a ton. It’s the first reaction channel I ever even watched more than Once. That’s because you weren’t yelling or acting like a dumb ass. You can tell you were genuine. I’ve been here watching for 2 years now hope you’re here at least 2 more. You definitely bring a smile to my face even if some of the stuff you listen to isn’t my thing. Peace and love dude.

[@calvindash0114]

Alex, you should check out Breaking Benjamin’s “We Are Not Alone” album. You already reacted to “So Cold” (the first track on this album) so you should check out the next song, called “simple design.” It’s a masterpiece let me tell ya.

[@beckyconner3632]

[@beastdude]

Like most breaking benjamin songs, you can apply most situations to, not just the original meaning. Like this one can mean for mental health, lonelyness, heartbreak, etc. Also it's great to do on voxtar in clone hero as well, can really belt it out there, get that emotion out. As for the next breaking benjamin song, maybe Blow me away, but mainly because it's from halo 2 and the song that first got me into the band in the first place.

[@Kryptic989]

Blow me away is also the song that started the whole controversy from the original band members that led to a split later on.

[@ChanceTheChancenator]

Heard the song for the first time while I watched this video. Great song, great reaction by Alex and when Alex told us to keep smiling, I just wiped away a tear.

[@ShakiraShe_Wolf]

This song has destroyed me and put me back together every single time I've listened to it, his emotion is so raw and so beautiful that it just hits so much harder than any song I've heard by them. I really like the Aurora version, I think it really adds something, but the original is flawless in and of itself.

[@denadecker5973]

Being a recovering alcoholic this song really hits close to home.....My heart goes out to anyone struggling with alcoholism or any kind of addiction....Take strength in family and music and never quit fighting.

[@DARKSAGE251]

I would suggest the Aurora version to its sadder imo

[@TheJakobRose]

sadder maybe, but imo doesn't pack the same punch

[@StormKillzone]

Disagree. The raw and heavy instrumentals in the original one add so much more sadness to the song.

[@clemsonman7]

It seems pretty generic with the rhythm and such, but you can tell this is a very personal song. Even though it's not up there in intensity or even creativity, it is in emotions (where it counts).

[@chrismeadows4216]

What's creative about Breaking Benjamin is that most of their songs are in Drop Bb, lower than technical death metal and grindcore bands for example, yet extremely accessible for radio, films, and video games. Ben is one of the most known baritone guitarists in modern rock.

[@carissamarple]

I saw Lacey Sturm on teaser for the video but it's the original version. Yes, a great song, but I think the latest with Stacey is much better and not sure if we can beg for another reaction video for the latest version? Also, why is Lacey on the teaser?

[@chrismeadows4216]

The latest with Lacey is less symbolically impactful, so it's a good thing he heard the original first to appreciate that one more. The thumbnail has gotta be a slip-up. Maybe he Googled Dear Agony pictures and the music video was the first thing to come up. Seems likely.
