Breaking Benjamin - The Diary of Jane I Singer Reacts I

[@ericgusman4673]

Breaking Benjamin always makes me feel some type of way whether it's happy or emotional. That's why they're arguably my favorite band of all time.

[@InteliLEX]

"A walk down memory lane" is quite right in my case... I worked on the production of this song/album. Wild to hear it again years later with a lot of memories of every part of helping make this song happen. - Thank you so much for your thoughtful & kind review. - I love your work darling... Cheers 💜

[@EchoX860]

Just wanted to say thank you for helping create the album, it means so much to me.

[@InteliLEX]

@@EchoX860wow thank you so much that really means a lot to me.. I really appreciate that and am so grateful you enjoy the album

[@That_Metal_Dude]

​@@InteliLEX I agree with the other guy. BB is so cathartic for me

[@johnzushin198]

BB is an amazing band!! I used to listen to them in high school all the time. I recommend the “So Cold” next. Amazing reaction as always ❤

[@HeavyTopspin]

Ashes of Eden is another one that really highlights the uniqueness of Ben's voice.

[@shibby551]

@@HeavyTopspin yep cold an ashes are such good songs..

[@bradenconway9066]

Im 35 and this song came out when I was 19 and I have this song on my playlist along with alot of other Breaking Benjamin. I honestly do not know how you can’t like this song. Maybe if you’re die hard country or hip hop but this song hits hard and has great vocals and meaning to it

[@roFloFlo]

Awesome reaction as always! Had Enough is another great BB song

[@joeymarshall7663]

Agreed

[@Jared_Dill]

Oh yes man I agree that's a badass song man.

[@chloestarshine]

My favourite band alongside Linkin Park from my teens that I never lost love for! Ben's vocals are amazing.

[@onyx5448]

So his girlfriend committed suicide when he was younger, and when he found her diary he read it, and in it she talked about different men and cheating on him. So in an old interview he said something along the lines of "to me she was everything, to her I was nothing more then a few sentences in her diary" . And a few years later he created this song, to help him find closure for not being able to stop her from committing suicide.

[@pitieratiopira3731]

Damn bro it all makes sense now

[@nitro_001newman2]

Wow, didn’t know that. Ben really had so many bad things going on in his life. He’s doing great now. He has a family and he loves his new band members. Not sure if he’s overcome his fear of flying yet.

[@jason42080]

Ah wrong the song was born from the singer watching a bunch of Forensic Files series episodes and there was a Episode about a Jane Doe that washed up on shore and was buried with no story.

[@fonzyharris7577]

@@jason42080 "Burnley has said that “The Diary of Jane” is about a toxic relationship he had and that the song is about letting go of someone who has hurt you. It’s a story of someone trying to move on but unable to because they’re still in love." not sure about the suicide part but that's directly from the singer/writer of the song.

[@strnvii]

Dam thats dark :(

[@bradkohl99]

So much nostalgia for me with this one. They used to play this when I was in high school late night on the local rock radio station, but never before 10pm, and only on fridays.

[@CombatVictory]

With the spooky season coming up, can we finally expect some Ice Nine Kills? Their last two albums are inspired by famous horror movies and the music videos tell a connected story. For a standalone reaction I would recommend "Stabbing in the Dark", which is about Michael Meyers and the Halloween franchise.

[@mattblatchley2061]

man, they did a concert up at the "Stanley Hotel" on Halloween I think it was 2019...DANG I wish I coulda made it!

[@joshuas193]

I second this. Ice Nine Kills is really good and a lot of fun too.

[@Beekmans_765]

Funeral darangements👌👌

[@joshschwarzbauer8155]

Oh god, I adore INK

[@spitz5183]

Yes! 'Me, Myself and Hyde' is a great one to react to as well.

[@jerryworkman2521]

Please do more of them!!!! They are by far my favorite band. I have a hand tattoo dedicated to them

[@Tylertormentxx]

I'd totally recommend a reaction to "Dear Agony" either the acoustic version or studio version, and "I Will Not Bow"

[@DragonUdo]

I'm so glad you pointed out how he sings "Place" now I'm gonna be obsessed with it lol

[@Kelvin-ud4pz]

Saw them live and they sounded amazing, like better than albums. They were so good

[@hatememyfriend3694]

Seen them with seether and 3 days grace like 15 years ago best night of my life, my wife and I were dating then and I introduced her to mosh pits lol I gave her credit for stepping out of her "comfort zone" seeing as how Aerosmith was probably the only "rock" concert she'd ever been to. Memories.

[@oscaryanezzavala]

Both side it's great

[@EchoX860]

The grave says 'Jane Bryan' she was an actress who started in the 1939 movie "We Are Not Alone" which is the same title as Breaking Benjamins 2004 album, "We Are Not Alone"

[@MansterBear]

BB is so good. There's always these little subtle changes between the chorus, or something the guitars do in the back ground the second time through. There's so much going on you can listen to them endlessly and always find something interesting

[@Lock-Vlog]

The diary if jane is so dope and underrated song 🔥

[@91GT347]

I bet you would love “The Bleeding” by Five Finger Death Punch. Its exactly how you said you like (and I agree). The harsh vocals placed only on the key words or phrases. The rest is more actual singing. Its an early song hardly anyone, if anyone has reacted to. Many probably don’t even know it.Its also a relationship song. Keep on killin the reactions ! 👍

[@christianwelker7383]

Breaking Benjamin is one of my all-time guilty pleasures. Should definitely check out more of their discography. Another one for me is the band Chevelle. Should give them a listen, their songs ‘The Red’, ‘Well Enough Alone’, and ‘The Clincher’ are my top faves.

[@hatememyfriend3694]

If you add Send the pain below, Vitamin R (leading us along), comfortable liar, and hats off to the bull to that list you've got yourself a half hour of Chevelle bangers that never get old.

[@joshuas193]

I don't think you should feel guilty for liking BB. Chevelle is awesome too.

[@leonel8831]

No guilt. Pure pleasure.

[@ryanw3658]

Chevelle was so damn good and consistent

[@qwwupp4763]

Guilty pleasure? the hell

[@Soundtracks92]

You should definitely react to more Breaking Benjamin! 😊 I recommend the songs: I Wish I May Medicate Polyamorous Skin Natural Life Next To Nothing Water Home Phase No Games Sugarcoat Shallow Bay Forever So Cold Simple Design Follow Firefly Forget It Breakdown Breath You Evil Angel Until The End Here We Are Unknown Soldier Fade Away I Will Not Bow Crawl Give Me A Sign Hopeless What Lies Beneath Anthem of the Angels Dear Agony Into The Nothing Without You Torn In Two Blow Me Away

[@That_Metal_Dude]

Lol I agree. Just do anything 😂

[@932bandit]

Great reaction, great cat, and great smile. Thanks for all the content and take care.

[@wcaneyes1847]

That was a very nice reaction. I saw video of a family band named "Missioned Souls" in the Philippines covered "The Diary Of Jane" as well. They are composed of Dad, Mom and 4 Kids, but only the kids performed in this cover and their ages are from 10 to 15 . Their own take of it turmed me into a fan. I assure you won't believe your ears. Hope you can do a reaction.

[@bobbydelamar606]

One of my favorite bands. I saw them twice.

[@ddevil4980]

You should definitely do Breaking Benjamin-Ashes of Eden, guaranteed you'd love it. EDIT: Its also has a great music video and Bens vocals are amazing.

[@johanras371]

It's been my ring tone on my phone since it came out and I'll never change it

[@Tainted_Canvas]

Breaking benjamin is such an incredible group. Benjamin Burnley has amazing voice. This brings back so much nostalgia 🖤 I also wanted to say I love your reactions and how excited you get about the music & the artist! I wanted to ask you to do reactions to I see stars and Jonny Craig.... (Please!) If you wanted killer voices you should check them out! P. S. Your channel is awesome! 😊🖤

[@fusion7246]

Absolutely love Breaking Benjamin, they are so freaking awesome, there's so much passion and emotion behind the music and lyrics that you can feel all of it, very rare in a band

[@Beekmans_765]

One of the best lyrical songs made in my oponion

[@DragonUdo]

Soooo Freaking Awesome... Damn I Love This Song!

[@danlee9788]

BREAKING BENJAMIN, MY CHILDHOOD BAND!!!

[@spitz5183]

Phobia is one of the best modern rock albums ever written.

[@HavokTheorem]

I know it's a bit of a shallow compliment, but you have a really nice face to watch. Reactions like this are admittedly a self-affirming kind of fun, but it's always interesting to see somebody else's experience of a familiar song. It's interesting that you intuitively whisper in lieu of growling, because it's almost the same thing just at a lower dynamic and without shaping your mouth to create resonance. If you whisper loudly, you're basically screaming; nobody's death growl is as loud as their ordinary yell.

[@farmboymi]

You Should throw 10 Years into the Reactions at some point, Such an amazing band, Dont fight it, Beautiful, Fix me. all great songs to start with

[@anton2497]

0:55 Love those subtitles

[@foxyh2]

Hello, please react "Breaking Benjamin - Dear Agony (Aurora Version) ft. Lacey Sturm"

[@djj9675]

Yes!

[@wickedPrints3256]

You look very nice in yellow! Love this song! I forgot how heavy it was. Something about the 2000's bands that set them apart from the grunge movement is how much heavier they were.

[@rangoonparkresortdooars6342]

Just love the "yaaaaaaaas"

[@That_Metal_Dude]

Yaaaaassss 💅💅💅💅 😂

[@Unofficial1998]

Diary of Jane, I Will Not Bow, Dance With The Devil and So Cold are probably their most well known songs that a casual demographic of people have heard before back then, either on the radio or on MTV, and for good reason too.

[@oscaryanezzavala]

Breaking benjamin es muy buena banda,escucho música de metal,rock muy variado pero BB es mi banda favorita de todas

[@sangmusafir2448]

The Diary of Jane is so emotional song when you realize how Ben singing every line with angry, frustrated and sadness in same time.

[@FroYo1305]

Aah this song reminds me of Step Up 2 : The Streets. That's where i first heard it and was instantly hooked to it. It truly is a pleasant trip down memory lane

[@justinwilder3514]

All time favorite band, all bias aside they have 0 bad songs.. every time someone reacts to this I have to see the vid, I wish I could hear this for the first time again.

[@thomasanderson2384]

Dance with the Devil, So Cold and Breath

[@That_Metal_Dude]

DWTD ❤

[@jxstified7558]

I think it would be sick to see your reaction to Marilyn Manson - Coma White, the acoustic version and studio version are phenomenal.

[@bryanharding4359]

another great track by the band. my buddy chad played drums for them for awhile. I miss him in the band.

[@jt9411]

I think the tombstone says Jane Bryan. Interesting bit of trivia, she was an actress in the 30s and happened to star in a movie titled We Are Not Alone, which also happens to be the title of BB's 2nd album.

[@jerichosamson8556]

Yes!! More Breaking Benjamin pls 🤟

[@PintadoProjekt]

This is just one of the songs I love from them. Do Dear Agony also. The original one.

[@EstAlbusLupus]

Breaking Benjamin is and Alwayz has been in my top 5 All Time Favorite Bandz! Ever since I first saw the video to "polyamorous" video from there first album

[@denvy_flex26]

Finally!! She noticed my request 🥰🥰🥰

[@torn83gaming19]

The band Red is amazing as well. Darkest Part is fantastic.

[@ed9294]

Breaking benjamin blow me away

[@beaglejack2023]

40. Remain my favorite band of all time.

[@tactic80]

The song is about Jane, the event happened in reality, the girl fell asleep in a bathtub full of water and died. In the video she wakes up at the beginning of the music and is looking for a mirror, by the end when she found a mirror, she did not see her reflection, in many peoples, and their legends, ghosts do not see their reflection. The group dedicated this song to this girl, it is unknown if they knew her.

[@martin.tar.bz2]

No bro. Isn't the real case. The history is very different.

[@JoawMebs-im6ix]

Better Days by Breaking Benjamin is a rare upbeat song from them and its good

[@cobrasys]

Rachel, if you like strategically-placed growling vocals, I recommend you give Seether a listen. To start with, I'd recommend "Remedy", "No Jesus Christ" or "Needles".

[@Decipher2K7]

the album was amazing, had it as my gym tracks

[@_Jax_12]

Love you Ray ❤

[@BrokePencil]

They have a thing for Jane Bryant, a 1930's actress (don't hold me to that time-period). I think it's Bryant as the second name on the gravestone.

[@ErickSilvaaa-25]

This is a rock, you know 🤘😩

[@Grindtone603]

My fav Breaking Benjamin song to sing is Evil Angel. The instrumentation and vocals have such amazing melody to them

[@brennanmiller6356]

I will not bow, red cold river,dear agony, breath, polyamorous, so cold, blow me away are all great songs by breaking Benjamin

[@robmetalhead6185]

Good choice hopeless is another awesome song as well

[@justitia257]

Beautiful

[@ajstrauss55]

I'm so damn old. This was my MySpace song 😂

[@thehurtfam]

Man I still listen to this album and Iam and metalcore deathcore guy evil angel is my fav but the whole album is gold

[@briansanders6247]

More Breaking Benjamin....."I Will Not Bow".....personally dig in to Queenryche.....vocal superiority(Geoff Tate)....love your reactions 😎

[@FutabaSakuraaa]

my favorite song

[@SBguitarcovers]

MORE BB!

[@greenpieceofmind]

I always gravitated towards the "place" as well

[@lukewhite8609]

there is just some thing about Benjamín Burnley that no one else has

[@skylinerds]

Breaking Benjamin - cold

[@christopherdunlap7028]

You should definitely do "Had Enough" by Breaking Benjamin. I doubt it's one you've heard before.

[@hajimemashite210]

If I may make a couple of song suggestions: Silent lucidity by Queensryche, one by Metallica , The Sound of Silence by Disturbed

[@josealejandro9827]

I recommend you to listen to Opeth Ghost of Perdition, Mikael vocals are insane

[@stevengtx760]

old but gold

[@Oneway_myway]

There’s an acoustic version of this song, too, and it might be better! You be the judge

[@joshuasimmons1438]

Could you please react to “dear agony” an “evil angel” by breaking Benjamin

[@dkjfdsvdsv1089]

Brings me bavk to my hs days

[@albertwesker2283]

Breathe is their best song

[@bradenconway9066]

Check out So Cold by Breaking Benjamin as well, great great song

[@SkaterNate1]

The juicy details of the diary…. I got the joke. lol.

[@Mundo_do_Ray]

8:39 i believe what you are trying to say here is about the vocal tech of lowing the palate, so he can do a high note with a more deep voice.. (i can explain better in portuguese haha)

[@iparky86]

Do you take suggestions? if so Civil Twilight - Letters from the sky, such an amazing song

[@justlyrics1838]

This song isn't about love, Once Benjamin watching a TV Show called "Unsolved mysteries" He sees a dead woman with an undefined İD , There was nothing abour her , who was she? What she died for? how she lived? etc.. So benjamin wanted to give her a story and wrote this song for her . For undefined dead womans they use the name "Jane" (For men it is John ).

[@vsma70]

This isn't a one time hear and forget. It's been in your head for years and you finally decided to review it. lol

[@robinh1224]

Everyone keeps reviewing Diary if Jane for nostalgia, but im hoping to see more for Failure, Ahses of Eden, and Psycho 😭🙏🏼

[@Sweet_Submissive]

Just realized this song is 18 years old. I'm fucking old lol

next: until the end - breaking benjamin

You could totally growl. You are right on the edge of it with your voice at times. I think it would be natural to you if you could accept the process of finding it.

[@Michael-xn7qz]

It should sound familiar Chris motionless has been sounding like them for years

[@IncoGnito-ji5du]

You eerily resemble a gal i once knew, mannerisms an all. It s weird coupled with this song, i haven t visited this foggy path for a long time. Bagner song though.
