Breaking Benjamin, "Close Your Eyes" Unofficial Music Video | Halo Reach

[@DonaldTheHedgefox]

"What I remembered about the Fall Of Reach... Is how slow it happened how everyone was shocked to see aliens invading a 'Tropical' landscape but that's when most of us realized war has come to the civilans... Yet I survived... All thanks to a couple of Spartan-II's... God I miss my family.."

[@G1Arcee]

They gave us time to save more lives. It wasn’t wasted.

[@RSAleft9]

The Twos and Threes sacrificed it all... They bought us a lot of time... We'll pay'em back 10 fold one day...

[@JordanDavis-l8f]

There will always be Spartans. Spartans... Never die

[@JordanDavis-l8f]

Those who face the terror of the unknown born of space, hisuoe aluen fintact know how bad conflict wuth ets can get. Holy Unins, deadly pathogens, acidic parasites, hunters from another world... Those are just a handlful of examples. Fught the fear Finiish the fight Godspeed spartans.

I’m glad it was a powerful moment for you.

Naw the part when carter crash the pelican and it said turn the tides I was sad

[@Yotee3]

please don't delete this one of the last gems on YT.... I witnessed the removal of other GMVs and i hate to see this one go..

[@kingficus9787]

How strange that people would remove their videos willingly. Definitely not planning on doing that, so don’t worry. If it gets taken down, it won’t be because I did it. I’m glad it means something to you, though, so thanks for sharing!

[@speedygamr12]

Most music videos don’t really have much of an emotional impact on me but this one and a few others absolutely hit home, this is incredible

[@kingficus9787]

That’s cool to hear, thanks for sharing! Was there a particular moment that hit home the most for you?

[@tjpit]

@@kingficus9787When the blue uniformed ODST got hit. I know this is just a neat little vid, but having seen people I loved hit in combat, its Shakespearian. Knowing you would do anything to trade places with them and knowing that they would do anything not to. Is there a higher love than to soak up a round so that your brother doesn’t?

[@kingficus9787]

@tjpit I think you’re right. John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”

[@samuelbrantley2836]

Love how you did this "All will fade before your eyes" it shows the covenant fleet coming out of slipspace over Reach "as we turn the tide" Here it shows the saber which was the start of operation upercut that would have seen the covenant in system be anhilated, sadly it was not the case.

[@kingficus9787]

Samuel Brantley haha no worries. Scatterbrained is my default setting. Thanks for the encouragement, and if you don’t mind sending it, I’d love to check out that other GMV you mentioned! Diamond Eyes is a favorite of mine.

[@kingficus9787]

Samuel Brantley Yeah, definitely a solid song and an epic game combination! I think my favorite part was when Carter’s Pelican slams into the Scarab as the chorus comes crashing in. I remember playing reach while having my favorite Halo Diamond Eyes GMV playing. That was a good time! Here’s the link to a Diamond Eyes Halo tribute I made if you want to check it out.

Wanna know something wild? I finally saw Breaking Benjamin again down in Atlantic city back in March, and this video was playing through my head while they were performing it. It actually hit harder, because they played Blow me Away like 2 songs prior to Close your eyes, and he mentions halo(of course). So it was like a full circle for me for a moment for me. Keep fighting Spartans, we'll rest when we are in the fucking dirt 💪💪💪

[@kingficus9787]

Thank you. While I enjoyed playing Halo before Reach came out, Reach was the game that catapulted me into an obsession with the world and lore, really everything Halo, so this game deserves all the love I could put into this video, and more. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Reach is a special game within my heart also... But I'm also a massive alternative fan and this came across recommended feed and I took a gamble... Guess that gamble worked

[@Agent_Revere]

Truly the best GMV I've seen in a while, the story of Reach sadly only focuses on Reach more than Noble team, I'm glad this shed some light off of them, and, Breaking Benjamin is pretty underated compared to other rock bands, two underated things in one video

[@kingficus9787]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Breaking Benjamin and Halo just go together for me, so I’m glad you felt this worked.

Now, if you hear something that sounds like “Got a light?” Or “What are we?

Excellent question because that music is SO good. The cover I used was by a channel you can still find called Mysteriousic.
