The Dark Of You - Breaking Benjamin (Piano Cover) Eli

A lot of you requested this song. So I finally decided to go back to my roots and just do a simple piano and vocal cover of it. Seemed to come out pretty good. Let me know what you guys think in the comments below!

Thanks Lana!

[@Vininator-fh9tg]

A Psycho cover would be sick.

[@MortalArgon]

Added your Sounds of the Forgotten 01 intro to my playlist on soundcloud while trying to find your covers there. I've been listening to you ever since I was 12, I'll be 22 in June. Jesus time flys huh!?🗓😅

[@EliVanFleet]

Dang dude..I made that album when I was 18 lol..I'm 28 now.

[@connerforbis1466]

Just wanted you to know that words can't express how much I respect and appreciate that after 7 years you're still active and amazing as ever. I know how aggravating it can be to feel like you aren't really growing, or that no one really appreciates the work you put into your work. Despite all that, you've continued to bless us with your talent, so just know I'm very grateful.

[@EliVanFleet]

Thanks bud! Appreciate that! It's actually been almost 10 years bahah

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

@@EliVanFleet Just wanna add that I wouldn't take "growing" as an indicator of quality or appreciation either. View numbers on YT are really about what's easy for them to monetize and capture market share. Your stuff is as good as anything, and people will always appreciate it, even if the algorithms that run this site don't.

[@EliVanFleet]

@@neolexiousneolexian6079 Appreciate You Neolexious. Let's be real here though, outside of the music itself, I put no effort into the actual video aspect of this haha. I'm just not creative in that way. I will be doing more live stuff soon though.

[@RockyDylanBebb]

Ive been listening to since 2011, fucking amazing stuff man.

[@dlon9067]

Oh man... I used to watch you A LONG time ago, like years and years ago, back with my old account. And then I sort of just started watching other channels and eventually forgot about this one. And then today I typed into KZbin "Breaking Benjamin Crawl Cover", and your video was the first search result. I was like "Wait, this thumbnail looks familiar", and clicked on it. Ah, the memories. Dude! I'm so happy I rediscovered your channel. I'm going over your entire BB playlist. Subscribed. You need to make more music, man! Any chance you can do "Red - Lost"? All the best, dude!

[@EliVanFleet]

I would love to do a cover of Lost someday! Thank you so much for reconnecting with me bud. Always appreciate these comments!

[@dlon9067]

@@EliVanFleet Sure thing, man!

[@toshi855]

Hymn for the Missing - Red. I think that'd be fun to cover.

[@onion69420]

I like this better than OG but needs a bit of better audio sync sometimes

[@EliVanFleet]

Thanks for listening!

IM CRYING IM SCREAMING IM DYING I CANT- ITS TOO BEAUTIFUL

[@EliVanFleet]

LOL. Thank you!

[@alexbaribeault]

I hate to say this because of all the respect I have for Breaking Benjamin, but this is better than the original. It just needs better mixing.

[@EliVanFleet]

Appreciate you listening :)

It must have been inside my head I lost the hope that I have left And now at last it comes to pass We sleep, we dream, we have no less Along the path we lost our way It's all a game that I must play And now the weak that fall Return to ash, defeated after all Fade away to the wicked world we left And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within As I become the dark of you Let go When all has come to life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light Forever lost in time With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we left And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within As I become the dark of you Let go When all has come to life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light Forever lost in time With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we left And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within As I become the dark of you Let go Save this selfish world Save this selfish world Let go Save this selfish world Save this selfish world

Your vocals a insane bro. I'm a singer myself and I have to admit that I envy guys like you and Ben with amazing vocals. I can sing in tune and sounds good in my songs, but this is is another world, another level.

This is very beautiful, I've hoped for BB to do an acoustic version of this, but you've nailed it. Well done 🤘

[@programinc7581]

Heel mooi, i figured you're dutch so yeah. Heel goed gedaan prima, heel emotional en realistic. Het lijkt of je echt er struggle inzette. That's why I love music.

Doing alright. Spend more time playing video games than recording that's for sure hahaha.

[@TamMusician]

The music👌❤ Great job

[@derrickchambers8424]

Just beautiful! Great cover man

[@EMPisTheChemical]

Very well done as usual. I wish Benjamin hadn't computerized his voice for this song. Thank you for covering this and sending it to me :) I'm still waiting for "So Cold," "Rain," and "Better Days." Lol.

[@EliVanFleet]

Thanks so much for listening Eleni! Been a long time since I've heard from you! I loved this whole album for the most part. Definitely a step up from Dark Before Dawn

[@IVANSITO73]

He didn't modify his voice, it's a chorus, his voice is duplicated and in the live version Aaron sings along with him and it sounds awesome. This cover is really good though

[@EMPisTheChemical]

I know what double tracking is, and I don't like it much either. I just prefer hearing a pure voice in all its beauty.

[@EliVanFleet]

@@EMPisTheChemical Not sure what Ben did, but I definitely did a double take recording on the chorus in this, not just double tracking. I literally recorded 2 seperate takes on the chorus and just put them on at the same time to achieve that affect. I think Ben probably does something similar.

[@EMPisTheChemical]

@@EliVanFleet That's what I mean when I say "double tracking." To me, it means to record the exact same more than once to make the sound fuller. Ben definitely does that, but not as excessively as many others.

Have you done a cover of Ashes of Eden by Breaking Benjamin yet? I didn't see it while cruising your channel - it would suit your voice so well,. BTW, you're killing it again and again and again.

Eli, you continue to amaze. Really great range in your vocals on this one, and also putting in rough vocals as well! It's great to see you still evolving while staying true to the sound that is uniquely yours. Never stop playing and singing
