This version is good but the original version of this song is my favorite song of ALL time. 11 years after it came out, it still send chills down my spine. Thanks for another great reaction!

[@MClapp85]

The album Dear Agony legitimately saved my life about 10 years ago. Music is a powerful thing.

There are a couple songs I have that I really love for my dad passing. But this is another one that I really think speaks true

We all deal with struggles in our lives and they are all a lot. But when it comes down to someone that is fighting for their life we can’t even complain

Truly a Beautiful work of art from Breaking Benjamin. This song has helped me through my own darkness.

4:37 yup, no need to say anything. your emotions said it all

[@hilleryearl524]

4:33 dude, I had your exact same emotion when I first heard this song; it was love at first hearing and I just went to pieces

[@nicholaswilkerson4394]

A very good and very close friend of mine is one of only 10 people who have been diagnosed with a clear cell sarcoma. This song always makes me think of her. She got that excised, was in remission for 4 years. But recently they discovered that cancer had come back in both of her lungs. I don't know what the future holds for her, but her strength is unbelievable and unimaginable. To Andrea, you're just as strong and inspirational!

Take a moment to appreciate the fact that Ben's voice is just as strong as it was 11 years prior, when he first recorded this song.🤯👏🏼💪

The female vocalist, Lacy Sturm, sang a similar song (more of an upbeat one) called "Fully Alive" while in the band Flyleaf. Give it a check if this did something for you

This song touched my heart ❤️ I’ve cried since the moment I heard it. My Dad Passed away of Brain cancer Jan 9 2020 after 8 month battle, I imagine this is exactly how he felt.. I could see the agony he went through everyday. He fought until his very last breath.. Andrea My prayers are with you ♥️

[@Markg488]

You are such a good guy @fablefil you truly get it

[@kirksalvatore2916]

Lacey Sturm is the former lead singer of Flyleaf and you definitely need to react to one of her songs! I'd recommend I'm So Sick or All Around Me. Both are absolutely amazing songs.

[@PieroMinayaRojas]

This has to be one of the most emotional reactions I've seen

[@crgmonroe]

Just stumbled across your channel. I don't know you. I've never met you. I have always been moved by this song, but also moved by your genuine raw human emotions connecting with your audience. We as people need to be strong, but also keep things in perspective. I've subbed on that impression alone.

[@abbigalgrave1883]

I love this song, both versions. It has helped me through a lot with my metal health. If you'd like to listen to some more of Lacey, I'd recommend Soldier by Lacey Sturm or I'm so sick by flyleaf.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

This is a wonderful song, but hearing it after knowing his health and addiction battles, and hearing Andrea's story, it becomes one of the most power songs I have ever heard. If you haven't read about Ben health battles, please do.

Thank you! Still fighting. You keep up the fight as well! Much love ❤❤❤

[@diandiaz9026]

When it said I will fight for one last breath that is what I believe my dad was doing when he tried to call me the evening of his passing and I was asleep so I didn’t answer the phone. I kick myself every day for not answering that. It wasn’t till I woke up that morning that I was i Bombarded with text messages and voice messages that I realized what had happened and so I put my son on the school bus for school came home that was what I needed to and then went to work. To which I broke down at work and then took the next two days off

[@boof0569sm]

God bless you Andrea. 🙏🏼 I truly pray you won your battle. I lost my mother to cancer 5 yrs ago and I will just say the fight against cancer is not a fair one. 😓

[@beanie237]

Andrea sounds like an amazing lady , and its very true there is always someone else worse off than you. I have been to work today I work in a care home. We are lucky our care home has not been hit but others in the town have.I have to be careful as im classed as high risk , but what can you do you cant just not go into work you need to help the residents.

[@Kelly30stm]

Great reaction and great song. I had a spiritual teacher who told me to not look at how bad your situation is, but what are you learning from it. Everything has a lesson for us. That’s what makes us stronger and to make better choices...if that applies to the situation. So when I’m really down I think about the lessons and how I’m getting stronger. ❤️

[@andreajoy55]

Yes! This song has always been my way of finding that center in myself, and my way of telling cancer it won't win. I rarely look at the negatives in my life, and to me my cancer has only made me stronger. The fight leaves me humble, and filled with hope. I see it as an example to my kids that you shouldn't fear death, it's inevitable, you should strive to live fully in every moment. Much love to you and I hope you are healthy and well ❤❤❤

[@MrColtwayne]

An interesting tie to this song Is Ben has been chronically ill, literal physical joint and muscular problems and they've never diagnosed . He thinks its tied to his battles with alcohol in the past. pretty sure it was also linked to his time away from performing.

That’s absolutely not true. I’m from the town he started breaking Ben in and played in bars before they got big. They are here all the time and that never happened.

All respect to Andrea. I totally understand her situation. My mom was going through the same thing. And beside cancer she is dealing with a long list of other illnesses such as brain tumor, severe asthma, an enlarged heart and many many others. She is the strongest person i know. She is my hero. And so are all people like Andrea and my mom. Can you please react to A reason to fight from Disturbed. Is my mom's favorite song. We went last summer to Disturbed's concert in Romania. It was one of the few chances to do something really special together. It is both my and my mom's favorite band. Would mean a lot to see you react to that song. Thank you.

My brother on the other hand did answer the car that night and heard his girlfriend screaming and crying. So it will haunt me for all of my days and I will always wish I answer that call but I can’t do anything about it now so I just have to hope and know that he knows how much I loved him and I think it is. He’s with me here every day and his Zurn and we take some dance tournaments around the living room or the kitchen just being connected with each other in the best way that we can now. It might sound morbid but it’s kind of the way that I can stack kind of still feel connected to him

[@tank2003]

***This is just how i interpreted the album*** You see, the album "Dear Agony" was a real personal album for Ben (the lead singer). It was the first album Ben wrote sober. He also had Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (partly because of his drinking habits), but wasnt diagnosed with it until after 2015 sometime. But the entire album is about himself going through the mystery illness and all the agony it caused him. How he struggled to deal with it. On the album, he goes back and forth from vowing not to go down without a fight (The song "I will not bow") to wanting to give up and die (in the song: "fade away"). In the song "Give me a sign," he appears to be trying to make a bargain with God himself that god will just communicate with him in some way, he'll change his ways and be a better man. In the song "Into the nothing," he appears to actually be between the living world and either heaven or hell and is waiting for wherever he is supposed to go next, but it seems as if he doesnt really care either way. The last song, "without You," it seems like he has made a decision to live, but only if he can move forward with "you." I'm guessing its his significant other. Or perhaps god.
