Disturbed - Stricken (Covered by Ben Draiman)

[@WilliamMc91]

The Draiman Brothers are pure musicians.

[@kostasoikonomou2167]

Are they ben and david brothers?

[@WilliamMc91]

Yup

[@jakesjunkyard9892]

O.o?! i did not know that

[@sabrinamichellebelle5485]

My late wife Lissa came to know Ben via social media and by mail. She subscribed to his channel, bought his music on cd, shared the heck outta his music and really enjoyed their friendship. She even shared some of her own original songs and he gave her praise which she adored. sadly, she died in her sleep in 2016 at the age of 32. Ben sent us a sweet, honest message to let us know he appreciated her support of his music and would miss her. I keep his music on my play list and have an envelope signed by him to Lissa on the wall in my home ever since. Ben, if you read this, you are truly awesome.

[@ExploringwithFighters]

2019 and I still listen to this before filming

[@pitdarkangel2961]

If this didn't have Ben Draiman on it, I'd believe it is actually David singing this.

[@xzsdfvdfbv]

It's good, but to me it doesn't sound anything like David.

[@DonEBrooke32]

are they... you know...? O_o

[@Dragons_of_ara]

@@DonEBrooke32 they're brothers

[@racingfuel28]

They do sound really similar in some ways, but not so much in others. He did a really good cover of this one. With Disturbed doing some ballads and acoustic stuff on their last album, I wonder if they'll ever do an acoustic album where they go back and cover some of their older stuff as an acoustic track.

[@AndrAiaNighthaven]

There is similarities in their voices, but they are definitely not the same. Both are beautiful though!

[@rickw.hoaksjr.2349]

Unbelievable Ben.... Great job.... Would love too hear you and David collaborate on vocals ... Yall are amazing....

[@His0wnFoot]

I might be tripping, but on some notes it really sounds like David's voice. Magnificent

[@99mage99]

Well Ben is David's brother after all

[@TrigunV4S]

They sound very similar!

[@annetteadams6127]

My husband played this song for me last night (not telling me it was a cover of a song by one of my FAVORITE artist's). Being a true Disturbed fan for many years, I would more than likely shun any band that attempted to cover their music, but when I heard this? My GOD, it took my breath away! Wow! Thank you so much for sharing ...I have posted it to many friends who have ALL said the same thing: Ben ...if you and David were ever to tour together, there would be jealous angels in heaven when they heard those voices! - Annie

[@bendraiman]

Wow! thanks so much for this Annette! It means the world to me! I invite you to check out the rest of my music www.bendraiman.com I'd love to hear what u think!

[@annetteadams6127]

Fantastic! Absolutely one I will purchase. If you ever tour in Kentucky, there's no amount I wouldn't pay to see you live. OR, if you play in Southern CA after 2017, we will be there!

[@bendraiman]

Wow! You got it! Both albums come signed and are available here www.bendraiman.com/store Also tee shirts, personalized pics, and other great merch! Helps support what I do. Help spread the word out there and hopefully I'll be able to make it out there one day soon. Thanks again!

[@annetteadams6127]

Ben Draiman Well, you're two items closer to So Cal! haha Thanks so much! Can't wait to hear these in my car (hey...the neighbors can't complain when I play it loud there!). My bet, by the way, is that you make it to the top QUICK! Best of luck to you Ben Draiman.

[@joshuathorin8208]

Draiman family is truly blessed with a voice that needs to be heard such emotion, strength, it's powerful and moving. I love theses guys

[@nicholemcmahon3517]

😮 you did for Stricken what Disturbed did for The Sound of Silence. This is stunning!

[@bendraiman]

That's quite the compliment! Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it

[@MrJoHnConsTanTine1]

This version is pure beauty. Been years and I still come back for this. Thankyou so much for this.

[@John6298]

When I first heard this I got severe goosebumps. Talent runs in the Draiman family. Keep it up Ben. You and David totally need to record a song together!

[@bendraiman]

Thanks so much John! Head over to my new project and get 3 songs for free! Let me know what u think! www.anotherperfectstorm.com

[@bloodgod2160]

Ben Draiman ok...those songs blew me away!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Ben.

[@John6298]

Ben Draiman the songs ruled!! There's a future. Now, team with David and make one awesome song together!

[@kathrynmccusker3924]

Àmazing....I would give my right arm to hear you and David together. You did for Stricken which is one of my favorite Disturbed songs what David did for Sound of Silence. Respect for the original while giving a different approach. Greek cantors like hazans tend to run in families.

[@idahopreps4242]

A Draiman brothers album would be fantastic.

[@TheFreakyFanatic]

As much as I like the original, I've been looking forever for a version of this song that truly brings out the emotion in the lyrics and lo and behold it's David Draiman's brother of all people that has the version I wanted. This deserves way more views than it has.

[@bendraiman]

Thanks so much for your kind words! Today's music industry is brutal beyond words, but at least outlets such as youtube provide some limited exposure. Feel free to check out my originals www.bendraiman.com

[@gailneschen3627]

Wow. I'm a Disturbed fan and love the powerhouse David's voice is, but this cover by Ben made me tear up. I think I like this version better. (Sorry, David)

[@petermiller4953]

How can one brother make the other siblings incredible song even MORE incredible?! It's just not fair!

[@jessburns9712]

Wow, I've been obsessed with Disturbed for over a decade and this is the only cover I've ever seen do them justice. I bet your brother loves this.

[@Kenji10000]

I don't think have hit replay on a youtube video so many times before. Excellent work!

[@Ravenpicks]

I miss Ben. Beautiful Job on this song.

[@MorningStar_1491]

Holy hell. I have been a Disturbed One since 2000, loved every song they've produced, and heard many people cover their work. I can say, with 100% cogency and certainty, that this is the first time I have EVER heard an alternative version of a Disturbed song that I enjoyed more than the original. I would pay distressingly gratuitous amounts of money to see you perform with David, or simply perform in general. I pray this comment finds you, Mr. Draiman. Please keep up the exemplary work!

[@bendraiman]

Thanks for the kind words Anthony! For the moment I can only offer you special signed copies of my albums www.bendraiman.com/store :) Thanks for your support!

[@DukeDarkshadow]

Breathtaking work! I was in the middle of watching a video interview with David where he mentioned this cover and I immediately had to pause it and come search for this.

[@jaseidiez]

Im a huge disturbed fan ,but now also a huge Ben Dramain fan. I work with music to and i love rock but also the symphonic building of a song. U really made me feel this song. Thanks for a terrific cover.

[@heavymetal9855]

You even sound like your brother... This acoustic version is so much beautiful and tearful than the original song. Respect!

[@bendraiman]

Thank you so much! Much appreciated! Feel free to check out my originals www.bendraiman.com

[@uk1128jc]

You'd better check out Ben's originals just like he said. Beyond AWESOMENESS! Very touching stuff d(^^)

[@timoskoutsiavakis145]

I have to agree, Remember is one HELL of a MASTERPIECE. Ben's vocal would make it divine, beyond any measure.

[@necroarcanistxiii]

In the best way possible, this sounds like the Orchestral Trailer version of Stricken, the way it slowly builds tension.

[@MayhemsMother23]

Hauntingly beautiful. This rendition takes the song and exsposes the raw pain and heartbreak that the original expressed in anger and rage.

[@caridadfernandez8802]

Thank you for sharing this song with me. I am honored.

[@Guttaball]

This should be more popular for sure.

[@meurtenbaguette]

That was just amazing Ben, you and David sound very alike!

[@bendraiman]

Thanks so much to everyone for the amazing feedback! For newbies please check out my originals and join us on facebook

[@beverlycoates1739]

Didn't know you were David's brother!! Thank you!! 🤗

[@alyailithyia]

Wow, The draiman family must be blessed with fantastic vocals. You did this song justice. Very well done!

[@bendraiman]

Thank you so much! Feel free to pick up 3 new songs from my brand new album FREE just for being awesome! www.anotherperfectstorm.com

[@KevinVance70]

This is simply a spine-tingling version of this song. I can play this along with the original, one after the other, and it is like two different meanings with the same words. Disturbed's version is the rage of betrayal and yours is the pain of betrayal. I am truly a fan of both versions.

[@Habit117]

Ben is extremely humble and talented ! Amazing artist with tremendous potential ! Hope to se him reach great heights in the musical scene.

[@bendraiman]

Thanks man! I really appreciate it!

[@bloodgod2160]

been a full year since I found this cover. still gives me chills. ASTOUNDINGLY beautiful work. TRUE GENIUS my brother.

[@bloodgod2160]

been 2 years. damn how time slips away

[@rustymcbadbat]

Your voice really brings out the emotion to the lyrics. Outright beautiful cover.

[@bendraiman]

Thanks so much KC! Feel free to check out my latest project www.anotherperfectstorm.com

This really left me stricken... just wow. Such a beautiful version of this song.

[@TonEyo6]

Definitely get a stronger connection when heard this way. Thank you!!!!!

[@tikkidaddy631]

Ben....I too am speechless....absolutely beautiful. Your family's music has been a refuge in the storm....I've got 2 new CDs to buy now....peace and love to all of you, and all of Israel

[@bendraiman]

***** Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! When you're ready you can get my albums here www.bendraiman.com/store Let me know if you have any trouble

[@budsvan12]

[@katiemiles5952]

I have goosebumps I love the difference in the brothers' but also the similarities Love it

[@tonismall2895]

The more I hear this, the more I feel this is how Stricken SHOULD sound. I love Disturbed, but this version is 100% my favourite. Just beautiful! Much love to you Ben

[@mattbielenberg]

I love awesomely different spins on cherished songs, and this hits the nail on the head. Extremely creative and amazing, man!

[@bendraiman]

Thank you so much man! I really appreciate it! Hit me up on Facebook when you have a chance!

[@breedoubleday4582]

Can't...stop...playing.... dude, this is beyond phenomenal

[@artu2302]

Totally new perspective on the song. The level of emotion and provocation is astonishing. This cover takes the songs message deeper into the heart. I love it.

[@bendraiman]

Thanks so much! Feel free to pick up 3 tracks from my new album and let me know what you think! www.anotherperfectstorm.com

[@artu2302]

I did actually as soon as j get paid I'm buying the album! I love the song Burden. I'm still learning the lyrics but the feeling is powerful as well.

[@bendraiman]

Fantastic! My previous solo project that includes Stricken is available here www.bendraimancom/store Thanks for taking the time!

[@artu2302]

Of course! I'm a fan haha. I'll definitely look for the solo as well. Thanks for taking the time to respond! It means a lot.

[@bendraiman]

Sure thing! Follow my page on facebook facebook.com/bdraimanmusic I respond as often as I can.

[@olivierlechowicz8670]

Fan de Disturbed et de Device, je suis tombé par hasard sur cette reprise musicale. Bravo !! Tout simplement magnifique. Super les frères. A quand un duo ?

[@GunNut250]

Unparalleled performance. You did the song the justice it deserves and then some.

[@MystiqueR97]

The emotion that is put into this version is astounding, you can hear the emotion in Ben's voice. This is awesome. Keep up the good work Ben.

[@licochoa]

Wooow just fu..ing amazing!!! The draiman brothers rules!! My son of 3 years old loves disturbed jeje congrats from Mexico! !

[@John_Stur]

You put "soul" to your music just as your brother does and I love that. I'm glad that I am able to listen to this masterpiece !

[@bendraiman]

Thank you so much! I connected with it very deeply so putting my soul in it wasn't that hard. Thank you so much for the feedback! I'd love to hear what you think of my originals www.bendraiman.com

[@samruddharajan6757]

Bloody beautiful... Brought back painful memories :(

[@shimmyboy]

I can't stop listening this song. Your voice on this song is amazing. It hits directly to the soul.

[@krazykatldy64]

Wow!! Goosebumps! Gorgeous voices definitely run in the Draiman family! Would love to hear a David & Ben collaboration…that would be amazing!! 🤩

[@BethDenise]

Im in tears. Takes me back to last year when I suffered my darkest hour, I was abused and because of that, i lost my daughter. Thru all of that, the mourning, uncertainty, agony, heartache, Im back. Felt like I lost myself, heart and soul. Now, thru the abyss I have arose. The unending love and support and my never give up attitude brought me back to life! #SimplyAmazing

[@johnkren2636]

WOW...simply wow. Have you ever shown this to your brother??? This is simply beautiful in ever sense of the word. I'm sincerely floored and on the verge of tears with the intricacies of the orchestration and that voice, which after hearing you now I can only assume is a family trait, so warm and moving. This cover of my all time favorite song has made me a fan for sure!!!

[@jillhoeboer3586]

Over the 10000 mark! So proud of you Mr Draiman, this is fantastic xo

[@amberlylatham206]

Wow! This version of Stricken is mind blowing. Good Job!!

[@bendraiman]

Thanks so much Amberly! I'd love to hear what you think of my originals www.bendraiman.com Feel free to hit me up on facebook! :)

[@jenniferlisa3692]

Here I am, watching it again!!!! ....and again!

[@uscotton1]

That was hauntingly beautiful.

[@loriravert3330]

Simply beautiful ! Love the Draiman brothers and their sharing their given talents!

[@cardsfighter2]

Dude, I had goosebumps throughout the duration of this song. There aren't words to express how much you killed this. Your brother must be beyond proud.

[@bendraiman]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Feel free to check out my originals...

[@rebe520]

Adooooooooore!!! Thank you for sharing my beautiful and very talented cousin. Looooove it!

[@oliverpaulchristiansen8451]

I'd be proud being your brother, same as with you brother - so much difference in your way of music but the same emotions goes right into my Disturbed heart. Everything is just right about this soft cover! Thanks Ben, keep up your amazing work!

[@angeldanielortiz499]

this should be in a museum, as a lover of disturbed I can say that you perfectly captured the meaning of the song with a style different from the original and just as beautiful, congratulations

[@alonsorios2199]

I remember the first time that i listen stricken ... Your voice ... And that it was a long long time ago ... And now ... In this version ... I feel the same ... That passion in your voice... Man ... My respect to you ... Thanks for your talent ... Me and my gf ... Love and appreciate your work.

[@IanHusbands]

Yeah, let's see Ben and David doing a song together! Awesome version of Stricken Ben!

[@karimsawirs8372]

Astounding, until tonight i wasn't aware that David had a younger brother, much less one that would complete the essence of his music in such a way, you two are like two sides of a coin. I never imagined anyone could make the original version of this song better but the passion you sing with and the same pain and emotion in your words as it is with David means that you have truly made this song even more of a masterpiece. Inspirational work keep it up Ben.

[@Abank1990]

This is haunting, heart breaking, and absolutely stunning. I can't stop listening.

[@MissShadow87]

I listen to this version so often that I'm singing it at work. Ben, it amazes more the mine I listen to it. Again, beautiful and haunting. I was enchanted the whole song.

[@MRkriegs]

wow this is great!

[@scope40k]

This version is definitely touching something within. What a brilliant cover, I'm not sure now which version I prefer more . Thank you for this cover.

[@cyberspinosaur1145]

This was just. . . I don't know how to say it. It was outstanding! Haunting and dark, the pain in your voice and the piano made it a truly incredible cover.

[@envie2165]

Ben, it's literally the best piano version of any metal song I ever heard. I listen to it over and over. Can you please PLEASE share piano sheets with us? I really want to play it by myself!

[@JordiDiezN]

One word springs to mind listening to this. Beautiful.

[@landongreen8300]

I Always loved this song by disturbed but after hearing this cover it truly opened up a completely different meaning to me. I absolutely love this cover and If I were an older brother and heard my younger sibling do this to a song I had written, I'd be in tears after hearing my little brothers gorgeous rendition.

[@Xankar1]

Stricken is easily one of my favorite songs of all time. And easily my favorite by Disturbed. I have a connection to it that runs through my very abilities as a guitarist. TO hear it in such a different light, so emotive and heavy even without the distortion and David's harsh vocals that i love so. This is a wonderful thing Ben, you're an extremely talented man, thank you for uploading this, it's incredible.

[@connieliles8323]

Dreamseeker I

[@FemmeInfernale]

So touching. Sounds exactly like the voice of my heart today. Thanks for my tears, Ben. I feel better now.

[@bbob99ba]

Great song man! Beautiful emphasis of emotion put in it. Both Draimans have awesome voices. Keep it up

[@Szerszenix]

This cover stands up to the original in such a fashion that it makes you vibrate with emotions inside. I love Disturbed and I love both versions of this song. Sir, that was an amazing experience!

[@lunaemma8459]

My friend and I actually came across this accidentally and I usually don't like covers but this song added a new perspective to an already amazing song

[@Schmant91]

This is the first time I really listened to the words in this song. This is an amazing cover :)

[@MoniqueGhiron]

Ben , I'm so blown away by your vocals. Listening to your version of Stricken brings out so many different emotions. I am hoping Strickn will be on your next album.

[@DJBlackWidow79]

You are extremely talented. Your voice is so pure, its brave to cover your brothers stuff but you took this song and gave it a whole new meaning and lease of life. Love this version its very well done

[@bociualexandru1117]

Been asking this for way so many times already and i can admit it's really a pain killer.I'm in a bad mood most of the times due to some personal problems but this helps me a lot.Thx

[@uk1128jc]

That would be definitely the most excellent moment!!!

[@TheOpressedMasses]

This is seriously one of the best covers I've ever heard...Jesus. I love it.

[@gustavoalvarez8262]

This song sounds amazing. It really brings out the pain from the lyrics. Great job Ben Draiman

[@catholichatred4937]

Wow. I love Disturbed so much, but I think this is better than the original version, this is simply beautiful.
