Breaking Benjamin is so unfairly underrated. Wonderful songs, lyrics, riffs, vocals. "Dear Agony" could be next. It's heartbreaking.

[@adventuredoods4699]

Not really. Have you been to one of their recent live head lining shows? They sold out a 10,000 seat venue in Phoenix a couple years ago. I'd say they're very popular & successful.

[@t.b.m.b.]

@@adventuredoods4699 I meant worldwide. Breaking Benjamin doesn't have the popularity of Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Slipknot for example, worldwide.

[@adventuredoods4699]

I agree but part of that reason is Ben being fearful of flying, hence their album title Phobia. They didn’t tour overseas until recently. I guess he opted for a cruise ship instead of flying with the rest of the band..

[@chrisamott6869]

@@t.b.m.b.Aussie here, and yes they are very popular down here. Sucks that I’ll probably never get to see them live unless I win the Lottery and fly to the US. My first tattoo I ever got was the symbol of the band on my left shoulder. and you can’t really compare BB to foo fighters and the offspring. Foo fighters and the offspring are played regularly on radio broadcasts in Australia mainly on Triple M.

[@HiroBrown]

Second this. Dear Agony is like the original ashes of eden song

[@itwasntme7320]

Breaking Benjamin has literally been my go-to band for so many reasons. Nostalgic purposes as well. Takes me back to simplilar times!

[@Pikawarps]

Re-listening to the song with a mindset on the Human struggle with whatever God/universal power you believe in sheds a different light on the lyrics

[@CycleOfJudges]

It always does.

[@franzwohlgemuth2002]

This could be taken in a religious context, death of a loved one context, general humanity context... all heartbreaking.

[@skoddskar3D]

I've always thought this was more of a conversation between Ben and his higher power personally. I think he's struggled with his religious views in the past but I could be wrong or thinking of someone else

[@franzwohlgemuth2002]

@@skoddskar3D It fits with my statement. So many meaning and contexts can be taken from the song.

[@dustnbones0013]

Yes so true, the best songs can have many interpretations

[@dumattco]

Honestly, it seems like this song is a prayer to God almost…🤓

[@jaredbrown6066]

It Is, Benjamin Burnley was a recovering alcoholic recently out of rehab(2009-2014 if I'm not mistaken) this is his basically call out prayer to be reaccepted in the eyes of God, even with his faults he's still human

[@d112cons]

Why not? It's a song about crying out when you feel like you're not enough. Exactly what you cry out to? You make the call, dear listener. Just don't stay silent and don't let go.

[@metrik12]

Breaking Benjamin is just one of the best bands to ever exist,they have never made a bad song..every song has its own meaning and its truly beutiful what they can do.

[@bws4eva666]

Breaking Benjamin will always be one of my all time favorite bands across all genres of music. Such meaningful material that usually always speaks to someone out there. They deserve more play.

[@Zen_Viniti]

The love of my life took his life 5 years ago as of now. He dedicated this song to me before he left and sang it to me and at the time I never completely knew why . Until now. Every day is a reminder.

[@zzvvoonnee24]

the most touching BB ballad to me is Without You, should check it out if you didn't so far

[@colestevens8284]

Breaking Benjamin is easily my favorite band. Im glad youre reacting to them!

[@DaddyShaoKahn]

Breaking Benjamin the goat. The vocalist has a great voice I wish I had one like that.

[@codydudley1985]

When I first heard this song there was so much going on,I thought my mom was dying so Everytime I heard this song I broke down crying

[@josephjulianmionie4744]

This is my favorite Album from them..... ......I wasn't sold on them initially when they had released their debut release..... .....but, this one is their Magnus Opus. They came a long way.

[@thomasanderson2384]

Dear Agony and Red Cold River should be next!!

[@anirjitghosh1641]

Man, whenever it happens (hopefully 70 years from now), but whenever i die, I want this to be played at my funeral. What an absolutely beautiful song🖤

[@auroramalloy_4]

My dad love this band so I heard this song a lot this is definitely one of my favorites

[@the_hellequin]

My favorite BB song. i got to meet the band back in 2016, they signed my concert tshirt. great guys, all of them.

[@benfetner6020]

Breaking Benjamin is one of those bands that I loved back in the day but haven’t really heard too much from them in recent years. I had never heard this song and, WOW, it is a beautiful song! Great reaction to it, as well! You like music??? I like music, too! Lol

[@JohnThompson-er9dq]

Breaking Benjamin is one of my favorite bands, any of their songs would be a great reaction. Keep up the good work. I also think you would love "Dear Agony".

[@siddharthsalvatore8628]

You should Definitely do "So Cold" by Breaking Benjamin next .

[@Jsjwrasslin]

Breaking Benjamin is such a great band that makes beautiful music. One perspective you could look at with this song is that he is talking to God. The man throughout the song is asking God if he is too far gone or if God is with him through everything. It kind of gives off a sense of realization, the way he says he has been living a lie and wants change. He asks God if He will be with Him even near death or if he will be rewarded for staying close to God. Especially when at the end he proclaims “Heaven above me, take my hand. Shine until there’s nothing left but you.” In the midst of his struggle, he cries “Stay with me don’t let me go, until there’s nothing left at all/until the Ashes of Eden fall.” Stay with me until the world/my life ends. Food for thought!

[@amankishore3512]

Love this band. Helped me a lot

[@marvelcaptain3504]

Their whole first album is worth listening to

[@TripletDad3]

An understated song of theirs is Foget It. He wrote it with Billy Corrigan of Smashing Pumpkins after they were talking about the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

[@griezmanciro7478]

Nice..next..dear agony..

[@jeremysoled8891]

Braking Benjamin is literally my favorite band of all time

[@HiroBrown]

Second this. Dear Agony is like the original ashes of eden song

[@caseyowen17]

Awesome! Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band please react to more maybe even songs without music videos.

[@RedCorps4Life]

There’s not a video for it. But you should most definitely react to Unknown Soldier. Another song that has a nice, quick little breakdown you’d appreciate. Keep up the working please!

[@aaronklein7730]

More Breaking benjamin reactions! They got so many good jams! Also check out the band Starset if ya dig BB. 🤘

[@dustnbones0013]

the best songs can have many interpretations, amazing reaction, please pretty please react to more breaking benjamin songs

[@toreetotz6661]

Benjamin Burnley is flat out, one of the best vocalist. Beautiful cleans and such great screams

[@Piiskairmeli]

My favorite song by them! Finally some proper youtuber reacts to this and gives it the audience this song deserves!

[@DraconimLt]

Did you catch the bit in the video where when they burned into the atmosphere their ashes falling triggered life on the planet that became humans and then they were basically reincarnated at the end? So 'Ashes of Eden' = Adam and Eve in a different context.

[@joshwagner5530]

I think she also missed the fact that the both of them are the human incarnations of those aliens, the wrist grab being the same when the female went out into space to retrieve him. Being a part of dna encoded memory, and that she finally caught him. That last part being my interpretation of course

[@jasonoconnor5555]

Highly recommend seeing them live. They sound like their recordings. Plus they're nice guys. I've worked two of their shows around the release of this album, and they were very polite and friendly.

[@Fuerwahrhalunke]

There is not one bad Breaking Benjamin song in existance. Not one. Their whole discography is awesome. "Phobia" is probably going to be my favorite album for the rest of my life.

[@angeliquepena6059]

A favorite 🎶🎵🎶🎵🤍🖤🪽

[@lonewolf8895]

The dark of you is a good one as well

[@vvdebovv4199]

I love this song

[@IXploitI]

please listen to Angels Fall by Breaking Benjamin, such a great song also on the same album

[@nandareynaldodacosta8865]

Breaking Benjamin next.. Tourniquet👍👍

[@shawneldridge4465]

Breaking Benjamin also did a song with Lacey Sturm and I believe that song is called dear agony. Please check it out, I think you would love it

[@baron7755]

❤️

[@Eproductions60]

Breaking Benjamin never again is a good one too😮‍💨🔥all songs are good

[@JohnM-og5rt]

You absolutely HAVE to check out LAWRANCE - DONT LOSE SIGHT

[@jasecorreia4021]

I will love to see you reacting to Heaviest album of Breaking Benjamin "We Are Not Alone" My suggestions: Follow Believe So Cold Simple Design Breakdown Firefly Away

[@blevinsftw8796]

I get the meaning that he’s referencing the rapture or death in general. Missing the final warning or missing the day of salvation because he was living the lie that he thought was the truth. The world wants to make you think getting to heaven is one way, but the word of God says a different way. One is broad and leads to damnation while the other is narrow and leads to truth. Was he believing the world thinking he was in the right just to find out he went down the wrong path but it’s too late to turn back? That’s something worth considering!

[@madman1366]

I love music too! So much so, people HATE me because I like to talk about it too much 😳 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@2rpedochoi17]

Both Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace are great underrated bands imo.

[@jakemeche7759]

Dear agony or far away!!!!

[@hariyanto8696]

I recommended song... EdanE(cry out) band from Indonesia

[@Light_Incarnate1999]

Song makes me sad sauce

[@justingreen8572]

Okay, you want more Breaking Benjamin but not a Breaking Benjamin song? I got ya. Starset - Waiting on the Sky to Change.

[@dustnbones0013]

Your so beautiful

[@CrazyRichAsian94]

I will not bow - please..

[@DaddyShaoKahn]

It has nothing to do with depression

[@THOMASSHELBY-uy8ty]

react to bring me the horizon

[@archangel6497]

It always seems their best song are very biblical he is referring to to God of Judeo Christian beliefs you can take from it what you want but referring to other thing or deity's is insulting

[@briansanders6247]

Or talking to God....Remember he is terminal because of brain disease. Needing God and not seeing or hearing him, when needed. 😎 Food for thought....
