Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin ( Acoustic + Lyrics )

[@TJax1997]

Those last notes in the chorus give me chills every time..... I expect his iconic "scream" and I get this lovely soft perfect note...... chills

[@RandomPerson1502]

I love how the acoustic version is just so heart-wrenching and beautiful. This version just brings out the pain in the song, and emphasizes the spectacular lyrics. Because, with this, it forces you to pay attention to the song's message, and not get distracted by the amazing instrumental. I mean don't get me wrong, I love the original version too.

[@kionmahuermicio9860]

right

[@nicholashagood177]

This one's just better

[@needfulthingsdesigns999]

This version is so powerful it brings tears to my eyes when I hear the pain in his voice! Very awesome

[@juanarocha8629]

Its the cello isnt it

[@clintbrooks7753]

Spot on

[@ForgetfulAshley]

Is it bad if I prefer the acoustic version over the regular one? Because I frickin' love this song.

[@Tristen95gi]

There is, and always well be, nothing wrong with an opinion. Unless it's an extremely stupid one. But for your's, no there is nothing wrong.

[@AMcCann1178]

I think that the regular one is very appealing, but it doesn't have the emotional impact. I'd put that on while I'm shooting at people in a videogame, while this is the one I'd stare out a window crying to.

[@AMcCann1178]

***** I think that's what some people like about the original version. To a certain extent, I'm among them. I'm not into metalcore, death metal, or any of the heaviest metal varieties, but a certain amount of darkness and just... umph is usually good IMO

[@admiralaladeen1108]

It is not bad.However,I prefer electric version.Acoustic version is really sad,it can easily make me cry :(

[@AMcCann1178]

Admiral Aladeen I think that's actually the reason why I like this version so much (I didn't say I like it better because I think it's kinda tied)

[@dilf3697]

2:15-2:25 Who hurt you breaking Benjamin, who hurt you

[@Artyflipnotefox]

XD

[@blergmuffin403]

Lol! Right?

[@jenstew212]

I love this sobg.

[@murphymacmanus2058]

I love both versions. But I love this version the most, because its so beautiful and soothing.

[@jamesrawl3481]

i completely agree

[@ii2856]

+Murphy Macmanus this version is just serene and gentle, the original tried for a gentle feel but the genre and style just didn't let that happen. it also goes against breaking Benjamin's usual style of having to force he lyrics through their vocal cords.

[@LoganLingleVocals]

Murphy Macmanus I find this version to capture the message far better than the original. Plus as you said it's very soothing and the changing of the singing with the lyrics is beautiful.

[@AMikeStein]

Almost nothing better than a vocalist hitting a perfect falsetto note.

[@Maisa_Ruiva]

It's like i'm hearing the two sides of the grief, and i like it. -Standard Version looks like Rage/Anger -Acoustic Version looks like Melancholy/Depression It's just my interpretation, let it get inside your head.

[@webxX]

need this version on Spotify

[@Snake4175]

1:42 - 2:22 is so amazing. His voice, the piano carrying you right into the next powerful verse. Amazing acoustic, love revisiting.

[@ShawnaMc93]

Same! I crave this song and listen to it multiple times, just to hear that part (and enjoy all other parts, but this one gets me).

[@gvrx2199]

The beauty and sadness wrapped up in Ben's voice is so powerful. Such an amazing song and voice.

[@admiralaladeen1108]

This version is as as sad as it is beautiful.

[@takemymoneyjustpleasedontb3023]

[Verse 1] If I had to, I would put myself right beside you So let me ask, "Would you like that? Would you like that?" And I don't mind if you say this love is the last time So now I'll ask, "Do you like that? Do you like that?" No [Chorus 1] Something's getting in the way Something's just about to break I will try to find my place In the diary of Jane So tell me how it should be [Verse 2] Try to find out what makes you tick As I lie down, sore and sick Do you like that, do you like that? There's a fine line between love and hate And don't mind, just let me say That I like that, I like that [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] As I burn another page As I look the other way I still try to find my place In the diary of Jane So tell me how it should be [Bridge] Desperate, I will crawl Waiting for so long No love, there's no love Die for anyone What have I become? Something's getting in the way Something's just about to break I will try to find my place In the diary of Jane As I burn another page As I look the other way I still try to find my place In the diary of Jane

[@sammy4088]

take my money just please dont beat me up We have lyrics on the video for a reason

[@chavi-tops7211]

and?

[@ashleynicole6073]

so freaking amazing I almost cried the first time I heard it

[@queentiggerchisolm6443]

BREAKING BENJAMIN!!!! I luuv em

[@AMcCann1178]

I love the regular version, particularly because of the way it sounds. This version just feels so much different. It gave me a much greater appreciation for the lyrics. I think of someone very close to me when I hear this version, particularly during the second verse.

[@nerderonofficial]

Ashley Nicole: I *did* cry.

[@ashtonweston2236]

Adam McCann same

[@idunno2264]

Ashley Nicole wow

[@painpeace3619]

We might never get back this type of beautiful art ...

[@livepoetic390]

Pain Peace yea a lot of the music today is bad.

[@XismM]

Breaking Benjamin is one of the most underrated groups there is. Their lyrics are top notch, their music is top notch, the vocals can stand on their own. They may have a formulaic style at times, but so did the beetles overall.

[@LOTRlover100]

heard this today on Pandora. Never new this version existed and it made me happy XD

[@peterpoop]

I knew about this version for years and it's still awesome baby!

[@gh0ulish_]

this ver. is better in my opinion

[@niclacy4048]

i like this version better because the added vocal harmony brings an intimacy that highlights the true melancholy nature of the lyrics. you feel more like you’re in the diary of jane as opposed to hearing abt his place in it.

[@richbarhorst7570]

This is one of the few songs in existence where I can't decide which is better between the normal and acoustic versions...

[@omeranati7165]

Three days grace- wake up

[@ChristianFrates1997]

I prefer the original because it’s more hardcore.

[@KristovGaedkavich]

2:22 the way he sings "Become" is extremely impressive.

[@GoodVibesMelomaniac]

The acoustic version sounds awesome. But a bit sad, I cry everytime.

[@whamber]

This song is AWESOME! It has so much meaning behind it. The first time I listened to it, I listened to the first few lyrics, and then I said: "OMG This Is Totally My New Favorite Song!"

[@kayfrazer9170]

His voice ♡

[@movieluver1267]

wow!! his voice can be so powerful, yet here its just plain beautiful!! hes such an amazing writer and singer :)

[@proudfirefighter]

So, so beautiful. Absolutely love this. Wish I could like this a million more times!!

[@kurayami121]

2020 and I still love both versions of this song... The singer is sooooo talented

[@kamchaotic6225]

I like both the original and this version of the song, but I like this version a lot more. Usually acoustic versions of upbeat or hard sounding songs don't sound so good when they're acoustic, but this is clearly an exception.

[@skilletmonsterock]

awwww! ben has a soft side lol..powerful when rockin' yet beautiful love it

[@zaqweds1478965]

Have passed several years since I heard this song. I love it more now that I understand what it meant!

[@HarleynBooks]

Omg... It's been so freaking long and I just remembered the acoustic version and I am still on love with it😫

[@yamahatrbx5053]

To die for someone What i have become ?❤️ These lyrics hits hard...makes you question your self respect...your self worth... your mental health and aspirations. I have been going through the unrequited love denial for 7 to 8 years now... Although I changed for good and improved in my life a lot, still often i get entangled in her thoughts of her denial. Love has since become a mere word in the dictionary. I have grown to be more emotion less and oblivious to anyone or anything around me. Somehow this song is becoming like a wake up call...to focus even more on myself and get even better at my life instead of wasting my emotions on someone who never really cared about my existence. Whatever little i even think of her. It must stop. It would have been great had i found a space in her diary for me.... But now that i never existed in her life, I will try my best to burn pages from my diary instead on which i scribbled my emotions for her. It won't be easy but i am sure at one point i will be able to entirely burn my diary and stop expecting a story about US in her diary. This is it. No more self-torture in the pretext of unrequited love.

[@neildees1761]

After all these years, I finally found a meaning to this beautiful song.

[@CeriEdSheeranFoster]

I have this song on repeat... I've hit the replay button so many times! My boyfriend played it to me yesterday and I searched it up and I can't stop listening to it!

[@ShawnaMc93]

2019 and still listening to this gem. BB got me into rock back in 2006 and I am forever in debt.

[@elobrittjen5678]

I always listen to this song when I'm angry or stressed. I don't know why, but this song just always makes me feel better.

[@AzariusR]

*When your crush's name is coincidentally is Jane and you kept listening to this while going deep into endless void*

[@darkrosii]

HellomynameisRyanfirstoutindeedgooglelikesmesomuchtheybotheredmeuntilmynamewasthislong did you ever get your crush to like you?

[@zachshaw9564]

this song is sad af but i love it

[@AGazellephant]

At first I heard the voice and I was like "What did they do?" but I gave it a chance. It's really well done, and it's a whole new spin on this song. It's like the angry and sad side of us all that are so different, yet coorespond with each other, you know? Great version of it.

[@candacewalker8266]

I used to sing a lullaby version of ‘Diary of Jane’ to my son when he was born…hell, I still do it and it sounds like this. I’m hoping to take my son (now 10) to his second BB concert this month!

[@ciararamirez1485]

I so didn't cry the first time I heard this version what are you talking about

[@insaiyandbz466]

I genuinely cant choose between the original and this, both have the same powerful effect for two different emotions. I love it 😀😀

[@starlosa]

This song went perfect with so many animations, who ever did this gets a gold star.

[@AtulKaushal7]

It's an amazing song with an unbelievable backstory.

[@annieboookhall]

What is the backstory? (and, just a personal interpretation, this sounds to me like a guy falling for a formally abused woman)

[@JillianAarsvold]

I love the piano here! It sounds so urgent, so desperate, as if you're there watching him to try to find his place

[@cameronreyno7175]

For some reason it took me forever to find this. Love it

[@sarasweightlossjourney1432]

I love reading comments on songs like this...I feel like I found my people ❤️

[@itsannajoi]

OMG I never knew they had a acoustic version!! these feels man... PERFECTION. *-*

[@cb6254]

Haven’t gone through my playlist for a while. Always loved this song and never knew about this version until after watching an amv. To be honest, that’s how I learned about BB altogether. It was also the first band I discovered without listening to 97.9 (which I thought was the station that played Today’s Best Music, so I was surprised when I learned the bands I listened to growing up were unfamilar to some)

[@MickandNick]

I love how this band started in Wilkes-Barre! like 20 miles from my house! About time something good came from Pennsylvania.

[@haisa.atin.]

Oh my gosh I love this so much...the tone matches the lyrics so well

[@anaballadares7065]

too much awesome, just one song.. i think i broke the replay button..

[@crazybabe72]

I'm naming my girl Jane after this song.

[@ninezerotwo1778]

Naming mine Jeff.

[@kenjinuma]

crazybabe72 James, Jun.

[@whidoineedthis]

Did you?

[@choclatbrowni627]

It's funny because as I was listening to the original version of this song I was thinking "This would be amazing acoustic" and now I found it and I am loving every second of it =)

[@katieg626ify]

this is so much better than the other. Now you can feel the pain, and sadness. I love it!

[@stacysankar5046]

I never thought another version could be just as good as the original 😳 They are just amazing 💕 His voice 😍

[@kristenowens8166]

I like both versions of this song. But I don't know y but the acoustic is better...

[@TheRyQuaza]

Kristen Owens Dunno about you, but the "Do you like that"sounds off in the normal version to me.

[@DC11961]

Wow. :O AMAZING! This is one of those (wait nevermind this is THE) acoustic versions of songs that are as good as the originals. -3

[@density31]

This is amazing. No longer will I listen to the original. Man this is soo beautiful!! I looove his voice. You can just feel the emotion.

[@DisturbedGirl1713]

I don't usually like the acoustic version to any song but I love this!!

[@yachilledgeboi412]

**listens to the original during the day and this one at night** I need to relax.

[@dreadwreach6627]

I love this version of this song alot. It makes me miss a great friend of mine who I wish I could see. I love you Dez. Miss you.

[@anaballadares7065]

ITS SO BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!

im usually not a fan of acoustic but this just is...perfect as an acoustic i have to say i love it

[@angelicaroberts3784]

Love this version its better than the regular one

[@littleluna7730]

oh my god i thought he was cute in the original... this is heartbreakingly cute! i love his voice and i am melting right now!

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I would love for this to be played on my funeral, although I don't deserve such a beautiful song, I would consider it as my last wish.

[@sarahlovee1865]

I listen to this when I'm down thinking of life as jane. Its beautiful. I listen to the other version if its just a regular day and I wanna hear it.

[@Metrotion]

I teared up.. so beautiful

[@dhvanitvyas9418]

2020, Still try to find my place.

[@MegToTheRescue]

Heard this song back in 2007 as my friends song on MySpace and been in love with Breaking Benjamin ever since.

[@TwinklingDreamGirl06]

what an amazing song this is! the acoustic can move you a lot.

[@melissahuddleston8995]

This is beautiful, I love breaking Benjamin so freaking much❤️🤘

[@Livelythesinger]

This is so beautiful. I love it.

[@ItachiJacksonnoodles]

Wait doesn't it go "There's a fine line between love and hate and I don't mind" not "And I don't mind if you say this love is the last time" at 1:15? I'm now thinking he does this on purpose, however am a bit confused..

[@TheBrunarr]

Itachi Jackson Lol I noticed too, I didn't say anything tho xD

[@Aniimefaan]

+Itachi Jackson you're absolutely correct.

[@certainmisterbrick]

I noticed he tends to do this with a lot of their acoustics. Go listen to the "I will not bow" acoustic

[@eddiejackson1566]

+Milo Terrabuca or the hopeless acoustic

[@shutupaeryn]

mandela affect bish

[@eugeneellis7984]

My favorite version.. hands down!!

[@christopherradecki8818]

WHAT HAVE I BECOME???? love it!!!!!

[@Naynohme]

absolutely beautiful.

[@Alarmfuerkobra11girl]

I love this accoustic version and the lyrics!!!

[@FredCooperDaThird]

Easily one of my favourite acoustic songs...ever

[@SuperGodlike101]

kinda sucks when you find yourself in the lyrics...

[@PartyBoyBerto]

Love this song!!!

[@justinsims5171]

to me this song has a strong rock legend soung to it strong choir nice tone steady sound its perfect

[@TheAnjelHarte]

i like this better, because it seems more heartfelt, like he actually wants to be a part of "jane's" life, and it has no screamo, which also is a win for me.

[@Tom-sv3cm]

For some reason, songs like this always hit way harder when done acoustic. Breaking Benjamin has ALWAYS been like that. Aurora was one of their best releases for this exact reason.

[@12angeldove]

I love this! Especially more then the original version.

[@santoshsivasankaran1935]

That's not annoying :D It's actually pretty good you brought that up

[@elfenlied978]

I love this!!!

[@ToboeUzumaki]

I didnt think they had acoustic! They should keep it up. Im gonna keep myself updated from now on XD

[@leahcat4]

Still crying that they took this off Spotify

[@mario65446]

I love this song so much that im thinking about singing it in my music class!

[@maalliepink]

I dont usually go for acoustic, but this is awesome :]

[@RandomChannelURL]

I love the new layout :D

[@GabyGlowsticks]

this is beautiful.

[@Rainstorm03]

OMG this is a great version! I wanna learn that piano part! I dont know which version I like better! Great job! 5/5

[@JellyfishSwagg1031]

I love this song, and this band. I might even like the acoustic of this song more than the original. Keeping it simple, but it still sounds just as good.

[@Stefanie15589]

This is beautiful!!!

[@HJ-kf7zn]

I love this version of "Diary of Jane." I cannot wait to see what Breaking Benjamin will come up with now that they have returned! No bullshit, they are coming back! There is a "Coming Soon" video on their website and their Facebook page! New guitarist, bassist, and drummer! So psyched!

[@unikitty5131]

I sang all along.. reminded me how much I love BB C😍

[@raulrolon7]

Ahhh I remember rushing home to play COD4 after school and playing this song on repeat. Good times..

[@semlohyllek11]

To the 19 people who put thumbs down, are you sure you had the sound on? what's there not to like about this! its awesome!

[@r4ps4g]

nice one dude ;) this song rocks
