Ben Burnley has one of the best voices in the world, his ability to portray such raw emotion in every song man. Been a BB fan since I was a teen and they never cease to amaze me 🥹

[@NX-gw7wg]

Yep I've been a huge fan since Phobia came out

[@realnametba2]

I have no idea how to explain what their "feel" is, but all of their songs have it, and it's not like any other band. They gotta be top 3 for me, hope these guys never change

[@Esteves2102]

I believe part of it comes from their vocal layering.

[@amandag1337]

Yes 100% ​@@Esteves2102

[@jamoljackson46]

Man it’s like they have this connection to life that’s part hopeful and courageous and simultaneously dreadful and full of despair. Despite the burdens of like they stand strong ready to carry their own burdens as well as their fans…..

[@nickshepley2566]

You just summarized it for me

[@BugattiONE666]

Nightcore that hasn't been sped up yet?

[@saraqawwas7424]

The more I hear this song the more I love it. The little things he did with his voice, the sound, the lyrics!!

[@samcrorie]

That's exactly what I was going to say 😊❤

[@personreanimation]

Such an uplifting inspirational song

[@lilyblood2989]

Benjamin has one of those inspiring unique voices that I fell in love with til this very day ever since I was a kid. It still makes me cry when I hear his voice. What a guy tho

[@cyberstar108]

AFTER 6 YEARS, NEW MATERIAL FROM THEM!!! 🎉

[@EmberBirb]

as someone who's barely listened to Breaking Benjamin, this song still gives me goosebumps. its SO good

[@FrankyG23]

If you like this that much, you should definitely listen to their old albums. Especially Dear Agony, the first album he wrote sober. One of the best albums I’ve ever listened to and will probably ever listen to.

[@EmberBirb]

@@FrankyG23 I have that & Phobia on my (big) list of albums to listen to 👍

[@damonsta2014]

@@EmberBirb I can agree that both albums are amazing front to back. There's not a song on either that I won't listen to.

[@texthit]

My 2 favorite albums by them, though I have a soft spot for We are not alone too.

[@IAmLambson]

6:02 - Kyle finished 😂😂😂

[@TrophiTV]

Bro got awakened 💀😂

[@Pikawarps]

Old school sound, new skills

[@jhamilton1007]

Kyle, I love Ben's voice too, and always have. Don't be ashamed about wanting to cry. Ben Burnley has a very distinct way to emote the emotions of the song through his voice. It's one of the reasons I've been a fan of BB since they first came out over 20 years ago. Also. This song is a little heavier in the sense that I can pick up maybe a little Metalcore influence in the song. So good.

[@yeetdaed2087]

My sister showed me Breaking Benjamin when I was in 7th grade. They have always been so nostalgic. Dance with the Devil has a lot of sentimental value to me.

[@glyoung99]

That's the song that made me a fan. I saw them at Kattfest in OKC and they did that song and the rest is history.

[@joshlewis8860]

I went from I Will Not Bow then to Dance With the Devil. They’re just great, kind of heavy but sort of a…peaceful sound? Like we’re both resentful and sad at the same time, beaten down and bruised, but we’re gonna just keep hanging in there. That’s a bit of what Breaking Benjamin means to me

[@Agony-fs6ik]

bb saved my life, I even have a tattoo of their logo. I am happy they released new banger, perfect as always, feels like Ember + Dark Before Dawn

[@lolamorales9842]

I had my Breaking Benjamin concert last night… so, this was an amazing thing to wake up to. Loved it.

[@Docthecowboyoperator]

I’m right there with ya. This hits the nostalgia so good. Almost cried listening to it the first time. Taking my son to see them Friday night. Can’t wait.

[@linh771]

The emotions this song evokes are indescribable. From the lyrics, his voice, the arrangements, the guitar solo, the ethereal background vocals....it's been on repeat for the past 4 days. My birthday is Tuesday and my husband surprised me with tickets to see them in Dallas! I saw them here in Indiana in September and I was on such a high afterwards. I cried 3x when I found out I get to see them again.

[@TerasobaRsNerd]

I was crying right along side you. This is the best band in the world and this has been a long time coming and it was perfection!

[@Jakkle085]

This song makes me feel like it’s the second part of Dear Agony. He’d lost all hope with his diagnosis and went through the mental anguish and everything was dark in his life. This song is him dealing with that darkness and pushing it aside because he’s seen the light and found a reason to be happy again. Fuck his songwriting is phenomenal!

[@TattooSwag22]

Knowing this is their new shit and with Ben sober makes my heart warm. I wanna cry so hard.

[@lfreeman0828]

Breaking Benjamin is a huge deal in this house. We've seen them live 4 times so far. 3/5 kids first concert was Breaking Benjamin. They are 100% my favorite band, followed by a very very very close Sleep Token and then Bad Omens. Thanks for this reaction!!!! ❤

[@lens_hunter]

Breaking Benjamin has been my second favorite band since I was a teenager. It's really funny because a lot of times I ask metalheads what their favorite bands are and breaking Benjamin is usually among them. They are a very very very good gateway band.

[@Karla-rb5jg]

What’s your number one? Mines korn! I’ve been a fan of them since I was 8 :) breaking Benjamin is def one of my top faves as well as they were one of the gateway bands to metal as you mentioned yourself!!!

[@lens_hunter]

@@Karla-rb5jg Metallica. Kinda boring, but they were my dad's favorite band and he used to play them for when I was younger when we would hang out in the garage.

[@WittyWhitmire]

I just saw Breaking Benjamin at the 2024 Aftershock festival and Ben had his son on stage playing guitar and singing with him. It was absolutely incredible. He said he was "Training his replacement." Just awesome.

[@justinwilder3514]

I literally almost teared up the first time I heard this song. So many emotions, the heavy, the melodic, the vocals, the solo, it’s my all time favorite band and to have them not only come back for a song after 6 years but I feel like they’ve brought back some stuff inside this song I haven’t heard from them in over a decade.. music can do that, but their music will always do it for me and I feel so grateful to be in the same era that breaking Benjamin is in😂

[@gziggy82]

5:56 the moment Kyle came 😄

[@little_pixie_nerd]

I love that we get something new from them and it still ticks those nostalgia boxes, if you know what I mean 😅

[@hnortonford]

Breaking Benjamin has always been my favorite band of all time. Not a single skip for me. This song is so amazing!

[@landhoproductions6365]

I’ve been waiting on this one from you guys for a few days now! Kyle’s reaction just sums up everything. The song feels like an emotional rollercoster. Maybe because it’s been 6 years since an album? Who knows but that last minute when Ben hits the “away” and he draws it out in the background is hands down my favorite part of the song. The last minute is just pure perfection imo

[@021218theolobo]

I love Breaking Benjamin They got me through some really dark times, and this song is gonna be pushing me through the end of 2024. Much love to both of you, I love your reactions, +1 subscriber!

[@jeffreyholeyfield9974]

So happy to finally get the reaction to this!! This song was amazing

[@arcofsirius8026]

When this song first came out you guys were the first people I looked for a reactions from, so glad you guys finally checked out the song, it's amazing

[@RykerroadMeg]

Literally they can do no wrong! LOVE their sound and they’re still showcasing it! 🖤

[@LoneHerald]

Awww shit; here we goy boys!!!! This is my favorite band of all time as well Kyle

[@tashax747]

this song is just...*chef's kiss

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

"Muwwwah!" 😘😎

[@soblndkorn]

I felt that same feeling I saw Kyle feel. It brought me back to older Breaking Benjamin. I dont know what it is, but this song just brings back something that hits on the hear strings in a different way.

[@a.c.melodyauthor]

This is all the best elements of BB, old and new, perfectly melded into one amazing song! So glad they're back. I always worry about Ben's health problems when they go quiet for too long. Still one of the best concerts I've ever been to-and the fact that it was my oldest son's very first rock concert made it all the more memorable! Great reaction, as usual, guys!

[@split2961]

Maybe it’s just me but this one feels like a mixture of Dear Agony and Phobia (the albums as a whole). Like, this feels like a classic BB song

[@MH.1990]

Bloodywood, an Indian metal band just dropped a new song . People seem to really like it

[@danhaines]

It's fun as a novelty song. I wouldn't say it's good musically.

[@lancelease2815]

The chokehold this song has had on me is insane

[@StevenWiegel-v4r]

Pure nostalgia!! The words he pulls from the back of his throat, I call that doing his Ben thing. It's the parts that when he does it the hairs stand up on your neck. It's dope

[@mishaDorjan]

This song takes me back to the middle 2000s in high school. This is the sound I grew up with. I’m here for it

[@wendyanzaldua2293]

I love that this song is doing so well for BB!!!! Love these guys forever!!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@rykerroadMOM3123]

My Gawwwd this was Amazing!! 💜😎 Your reaction is incredible!

[@Spencer_R_07]

Awesome, I love breaking Benjamin and I would love to see more going forward

[@Jaimie_BlackFlame]

Found them in 2007 and got to see them live the same year. They’ve been one of my favorite bands since and my love of their songs haven’t faded. Was so happy to hear a new song from them. ❤

[@kirtapk95]

Cant express how much ive missed BB its been so long. been listening to them for what feels like my whole life!

[@bethray469]

Watching Kyle react to stuff that really hits him hard is transcendent, and the willingness to show that vulnerability to others is so admirable. I always listen to anything new while I'm alone in my apartment bc I never know what might make me trance out and/or sob, but honestly it's beautiful seeing it in someone else. I made the mistake of listening to Ren's Seven Sins for the first time on the way to a doc appointment a few weeks ago and people could probably actually see my soul leave my body, lol.

[@galathorus3256]

I have listened to this song like 10+ times now and only now with your reaction I pulled up the lyrics as well. And I saw and noticed the (Awake) harmonies at the end. It just hit's different, like he is trying to wake himself up from the view of another person or something. It just made the whole thing so much more powerful.

[@geminiheisserer6677]

Been waiting for you guys to do this!!!! Kyle your face when the solo ends....that was me man. I feel you!

[@readatnightfall1786]

Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band of all time! Just saw them live (first concert ever!!!) on October 9th! Phenomenal live

[@jesselchin3360]

One of my fave bands.after 20 years of listening.. still impressed. Just saw them last month and it was great

[@IamGrootOG]

Saw this when it first dropped. Love it 🎉🎉

[@serpaservicess1568]

Glad to see you guys back on NEW music

[@matheuzinffc]

WE'RE SO BACK

[@tuckermilburn8249]

Thank you for actually explaining why i dont ever see anyone ever react to OG breaking benjamin. Id love reactions to it but it makes a lot more sense why you dont see them. Appreciate it

[@thereeder5rs]

I am sooooo into hearing your reactions to this new album!

[@Chris-w7p4k]

Breaking benjamin is a feeling

[@ghosted_noodle]

this hit me right in the childhood. they will always be my 1st love

[@alexturner493]

Favorite band of all time. Their sound will never get old. I’m so pumped for the new album

[@Stoned_Panda]

BB is always a good staple in my library! Cannot go wrong with them at all!

[@camp1814]

Breaking Benjamin has been a staple band for me for the better part of two decades, and they never cease to disappoint me when new music drops. All of the feels and good vibes coming from the two of you in all your videos. BB is just as amazing live as they are listening to their studio albums. I openly wept when they played "Failure;" Awaken brought back those memories.

[@davidriddick82]

I love Breaking Benjamin too!! Been a fan from day one, this checked off all my nostalgia and made me so happy. I can’t wait to hear the album and more. One thing to point out is Aaron the bassist also screams and harmonizes with Ben, and that combination is 🔥🔥 #Been6Years

[@J.R.Steel85]

New BB?! They sound true to their iconic sound with the intensity turned up a little! I'm here for it! 💯🔥

[@Cyclonix_official8699]

Woohooo!!!! Awesome video! Literally have been waiting for this reaction 🤘

[@nathanhexem]

The 2000s are back. All that remains, as I lay dying, breaking Benjamin, and now haste the day with new material. Absolutely unreal

[@corinna007]

And Adam back with Three Days Grace.

[@rockstarbmf9595]

Crossfade is back together now also!

[@josh2k4]

Marilyn Manson as well

[@theglassmaker1122]

Now we need to see something new from SOD

[@totallynotsamantha7424]

MY FAVORITE REACTORS DROPPED A REACTION TO MY FAVORITE BAND LETS GO!!! I’m so here for it. Been waiting for new stuff from them for so long. So glad Kyle and I share the same favorite band that’s awesome! 🤘🏻

[@angelareese3841]

Just saw them in concert 2 days ago! It was a religious experience. When he sang Dear Agony, I bawled my eyes out! Epic!!

[@sankethvishwamal646]

Finally 😊. Love you guys from srilanka❤

[@Josh-nj1gw]

These guys are PHENOMENAL live I can't wait to see them again

[@markdunlap4550]

Breaking Benjamin is a band that always delivers without changing who they are and how they sound. Much Respect!

[@Scionfrs088]

Absolutely love breaking Benjamin and I loved this song. Reminds me of the old BB I fell in love with Phobia/Dear Agony era.

[@TananJess]

Thank you that's what I was thinking about it was killing me but dear agony is exactly what it sounds like thank you.

[@secrated]

Breaking benjamin songs was what got me to try out new games too. Coz people made compilations of Halo, battlefield and all those OG games with breaking benjamin songs

[@Minerva9398]

new INK, new BB, new Starset, 2nd half of 2024 has been a GOOD year for music

[@slo232000]

I'm with you Kyle BB is by far my favorite band of all time. This is a band I can come back to again and again and never get tired of their mixed hard, soft, melodic choruses, etc. So happy they are continuing to put out bangers like this.

[@JamieKing-xy8pk]

I love this song more and more every time I hear it!❤

[@corinna007]

I think we all needed this, Kyle. "I awaken, I survive. I still hear the call of life." Those two lines sum up the song for those of us who have found solace in their music over the years. They came back; they're still here, and we're still here. Life still calls us. We all survived.

[@nicesmiles]

Em and Breaking Benjamin? 2024 looking like one of the best years for music we've had in a long time.

[@jackalope_hunter]

breaking benjamin with that great sound coming in, awesome

[@Vixmoh]

I love all breaking Benjamin songs and this one I have it on repeat all day 😭

[@idreamofire]

Man that chorus is just classic Breaking Benjamin sound. Idk how to describe it but it is instantly noticeable

[@loganperry1202]

This song is so damn amazing!! Listened to it probably 15 times already!

[@itz_x_salvation395]

My favorite band since I heard Blow me away, diary of jane, and so cold when I was 12. 29 now, and this band still goes so hard. Ben's voice is top tier. I've seen them live 4 times and looking for more.

[@NocturnalVisitor999]

Freaking love the reaction dudes!!

[@Mith72509]

There was a cover of Iris that Diamante did with Ben that was great. His voice just makes anything he sings his own.

[@animedemon1348]

I saw these guys just a couple of days before they dropped this, was absolutely amazing. They had this little kid on stage that turned out to be Ben's son doing guitar work and backing vocals, he absolutely shredded it.

[@pharm30]

One of my favorites of all time and this song is exactly what I wanted and needed from them 🤟🏻

[@Brooke-eb5yc]

Can i jyst say... as heartfelt... Kyle and Eric.. i hope you see this. But i tuned in and got my kids too reacting to your reactions in the past 4 months.. weve been goin thru some really hard stuff. Your reactions, to all . Citizen soldier, ren, falling in reverse, this one.,.. have kept us going. Tears, laughing, smashin it, everything. Thank you for being the rope to keep us climbing out of the hole we could be stuck in. Join ya in coffee time lol

[@CruikshankSCP_VT]

Been waiting for you guys to listen to this new Breaking Benjamin song!!!!

[@ythinder]

This song totally blew me away, love the heavier sound and Ben's voice is just as amazing as it always was, he can do heavy, melodic and soft vocals and we even got a little guitar solo too!! Can't wait for the album 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@jaycarr5906]

I've loved Breaking Benjamin since Phobia. I got into them when I first saw the music video for So Cold and have loved them ever since. I'm so happy Ben is sober and if anything, his lyrics are even better sober than before.

BB is my all time favorite as well. They’re the only band I’ve ever sort of followed around on tour. When they finally got back to touring after the hiatus, I went to every show they had in Texas on that tour. It was a lot of driving, but more importantly a lot of awesome music. Oh, and this some rocks!

[@ChevChamp35]

Hey Kyle, fellow Kyle here! You and I are totally on the same page about Breaking Benjamin being our ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND! Let's goooooo!

[@buzzzkilll80]

This is in my top ten songs of the last couple years easily!

[@kaynesheldon4905]

I got goosebumps with that solo. Holy fuck. Wicked!

[@chrisallen4636]

First time hearing this song. Long time listener of Breaking Benjamin. Am I the only one getting nostalgia listening to this?? Feels like it’s bringing me back to the early 2000s, gearing up for some Halo split screen

[@marloeslaughter8688]

Those guitar solos sent Kyle down the “Eyes closed, in your feels” rabbit hole, and the only thing pulling him out was a low riff from another guitar solo! Beautiful!!

[@clemensaf15]

Love the response to this song, hit me in the feels too, please do more breaking Benjamin after they release the album because you know it is going to be great when it drops, thanks guys

[@kyleknight9686]

Lost my aunt to cancer this year. Lost a 10 year old cat to old age. My wife left. I've been rebuilding slowly. And something about this song just hits. The tug towards darkness. The wave pulling you under. But despite it, hearing the call to live. I survive. Thanks for reacting to this one. I was waiting to see what yal thought. It was an emotional gut punch for me and instantly became one of my favorites by them.

[@SuperChevelle88]

Listening to this brought me back to 2007 playing Halo 3 with the boys

[@kodyhatcher4752]

Heard my first BB song (diary of Jane) when I was 10 years old playing a Eve of destruction demolition derby game on my ps2… forever will have a soft spot for them !

[@TacticalBacon_]

im so happy to see yall react to this!!!!!

[@robertcunningham2939]

When they release their album, it's going to break the internet

[@BradleyKoppenhaver]

Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band also, I had the privilege of meeting them back in 2002, one of my old coworker was the cousin of their original drummer, Ben gave me a guitar pic....
