When I first heard this song I really thought you were Lacey Sturm until I looked it up. That’s a huge compliment, you have an incredible voice and I will be definitely listening to your music
With the way you look in your Profile Pic, with that fiery blue hair ... How would that guy from Sin City put it? Ah "A Dame to Kill for" is how it goes, just saying 🔥_🔥😘✌ purty lady 😅😇
Never fails.. Ben hits shit like no one else can. "yeah you bleed just to know you're alive." His delivery has sent chills through me since I was 17. I'm 32 now.
His voice saved my life. When I was 20 me and a friend were out riding around and found a Saturate CD lying in a parking lot. We put that CD in and didn't take it out for a very long time. I've been die hard BB fan since. I had a band and covered a lot of BB songs. Our lead singer wasn't Ben but he made you feel what he was singing about. He passed away a few years ago. There have many occasions where Breaking Benjamin have been able to reach me when nothing else could.
@@DanLGGusing is powerful and it inspires us and motivates us. But Ben nor any one else saved your life. You saved your life. Because if you really wanted to, nothing would stop you from taking it. You saved yourself. The music only revealed what was in you all along
@@thomasmarchese2808 thank you for saying that. You forget sometimes to give yourself credit for doing what you have to do. I hope you feel in your heart the feeling you just gave me. All love man. Thank you
ben's voice has genuinely saved my life, after my father died of an overdose, his music really helped me cope with the suicidal thoughts that plagued me for years afterwards. thank you ben, you hold a special place in my heart although i've never spoken to you.
Admit it; when Ben screams "Alive" in the second verse, you had a reaction. Whether it a chill, a shiver, heart palpitation, or outloud saying "Ooooooh GOD YES" and rewinding it forty different times. Takes talent to summon a reaction.
23 years ago I had my first kiss while dancing to this song at Homecoming, and the original always represented the innocent 16 y/o excitement of that night. I feel like this version hit with the 23 years of scars I've accumulated since. ♥️
I love this song. I agree no auto tune needed. My wife loved this song. We would sit in the car and sing along to it. Of course the original. She passed on March 6th it wasn't covid related. I don't think she would have made it through all of this even if she did live. Funny how God calls us home when he does. Thank you for this remake. It brought a smile to me.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Made me tear up but that's what happens with an empath. Praying for a heart that heals but always remembers the love you shared.
@@whackeyjester thank you for your kind words. And yes she is in a better place and doesn't hurt anymore. I very her with me in my heart and my memories.
Every time I hear Ben sing, after learning about his diagnosis and recovery, makes me genuinely happy that the world didn't lose another amazing artist. I'm truly proud of him.
My god.... today has literally been THE day that I have each year that I remember my dad. Being depressed all day and trying to be strong. Iris by the goo goo dolls was my dads song. Had a hard time today then god plays this version on the radio in my buddies car and he sends it to me asking if I had heard it. And all I could think was, “thank you god” he knew today was my day and and he used my best friend to reach out to me and have one of my favorite bands ever remake my fathers favorite band. Words can’t come close to explaining how great this was for me today. All love
All I can say is I genuinely hope they read these comments. The amount of love, support, & lives their music touches is enough to get anyone by their hardest days! I feel the same music fam
It's a beautiful interpretation of a classic musical like "Iris", especially because two talented artists joined their voices to bring this song to life once again. It's just great.
Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band of all time. Best show I've been too. Ben had the whole audience use their phone flashlights to illuminate the stage. He also stopped during the set cause a fan passed out and gave out waters to people. Absolutely legendary
This means the world to me because I have been a Breaking Benjamin fan since I was 11 years old. I have met them a few times backstage at shows and see them EVERY single time they come to California, I live 1 hour away from Reno. After taking a new job as a police officer, I had to cancel my attendance to this show. I was subsequently let go from my job 2-24-2020 after an illness prevented me from training and I was completely heartbroken. Then the entire world shut down. But this song "which was recorded in my area" LITERALLY HITS HOME. It gives me hope to keep going. Thank you BB and Diamante.
I may be across the country from you, but thank you for doing what you did as an officer. You risked your life to protect people you don't know like me. Thank you
I agree, very few duets I will listen. Another great to me is Think of You by Chris Young and Cassadee Pope but I have to say this is the perfect duet.
A couple of days ago watched her insta stories and remembered that she was still an undergrad. Man, she's got a great career ahead. If her duo with bad Tommy vext wasn't enough, this one with Ben slaps even harder.
i was excited when i saw they covered somebody i used to know until i heard it. i did not like it at all and i thought rock version of that song would kick ass but i think they did a terrible job with it personally
Kmilli08 everyone has different music taste, for example, I liked the 3DG version more than the one from Mayday Parade. I think the anger of Matt while singing gave the lyrics a whole new perspective and more attached to the meaning of the song itself. Again, it’s just different music taste bro
@Cruikshank 101 what's your problem with Vext? I'm curious because I can't say I'm a huge fan either, I love Bad Wolves but he's been coming off as very condescending lately and I unfollowed him on Instagram because of that.
At first, I thought this was going to be a vanilla performance- albeit I could guess how Ben would sing it. But then Diamante comes in with this raspy and gritty vocal. You just can't help but to like it.
Then you dont listen to much music. I like Benjamin Burnley, but this what is he going into? A techno rock garbage barge? All I hear is auto tune there's nothing beautiful about this.
Iris - Lyrics [Verse 1] And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't wanna go home right now [Verse 2] And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later, it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight [Chorus] And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am [Verse 3] And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive [Chorus] And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am [Chorus] And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am [Outro] I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
Thank you very much for being a big fan. I took my time to look at my fans and followers on social media and I noticed you’re a big fan of mine. I have taken my time to appreciate some of my fans with my private email ivanmoondy@gmail.com and you are one lucky one.. Thank you, much love
Ben is awesome. Diamanté is absolutely a perfect blend on these rock songs. She’s perfectly in tune, and the song with Bad Wolves is absolutely beautiful. Love Breaking Benjamin!
I've always enjoyed the original version by the Goo Goo Dolls, but there's something about this version that made me feel like I can go harder than before and uplift me to another level. I never thought I hear it as a duet but that changed the moment I heard it and I'm so glad I heard it since. Great cover Diamante and Ben, you two rock!
Very very rarely i hear something better than the original, but this is certainly one of those songs. Doesnt surprise me either, Ben Burnleys voice is phenominal and Diamonte is a wonderful singer herself. They really sung this from the heart
I remember hearing this song for the first time years ago. It brought me to tears. Ben’s voice and story of sobriety. This was when i decided enough was enough.
"and i dont want the world to see me, cause i dont think that theyd understand, when everythings meant to be broken, i just want you to know who i am" - hardest hitting lyrics ever.
Look into Diamanté further, she is an amazing lyricist. She has good songs on her own, a acoustic of Obvious that will blow your mind, and a cool as song with bad wolves. She is so underrated!
This is a beautiful cover of a beautiful song, the two blend together crazy well! Maybe an uncommon opinion, but for me... it would be heaven to hear a collaboration with Ben, and Myles Kennedy. They both have a way of sending the most beautiful emotions in their music, 2 big parts of my life and individually, there music has kept me holding on at times its felt impossible, I feel like there's something magical in that.. And it would be truly beautiful, to see what they could produce.
Could not agree more with you! Ben and Myles are also two of my all time favourite singers. I listen to them all the time! Honestly, I would love for that to happen!
@@villagweedo glad I'm not alone in this! Both of their music has meant so much to me, so much so I'd say it altered me as a person... it was through the emotion in their music, that you'd have to be cold not to feel that i discovered how truly magical music can be.
Absolutely! I know that Alter Bridge are very well-known here in the UK. I've never seen them before, but I have seen Breaking Benjamin a few times when I lived in Texas. Both bands are unique and I've never known them to have a bad song. And their voices... magical! 😍
I love that Diamonte and Ben really come off as friends here. So many collaborations these days just feel like studio-mandated and the music reflects it
I felt this in my inner most core! Absolutely relatable. I was scheduled to go out on the road, clear across the country. Was even prepared to just eat peanut butter just to get there. Self sacrifice for greater causes is difficult. I try to be as zen about the fall as I am about getting back up! After quite extensive faith and commitment, I'm about to finally leave and start my dream. Still unsure to what extreme yet, but all we can do is walk through the door when its presented. Thank you for this!
The most beautiful song I have ever had the privilege of growing up hearing, now sang by the two most beautiful voices I have ever heard sing it. Diamante, your breathy flow with this song is seriously addicting. I now fall asleep to your voice. Ben, you have been nothing but amazing since I first heard Dance With The Devil in high school back in 2006. I have never stopped clicking on your music and I don't plan to. Please, keep speaking to my soul.
To be honest, I had no idea that one of my favorite bands from high school was still performing. Not to mention performing iris 🤯. And as you'd expect from Ben, amazing!
I loved the Goo Goo Dolls version band I absolutely love this version. Ben’s vocals are fantastically beautiful and Diamante adds another layer of epic
Incredible! One of the best covers. Breaking Benjamin is one of my absolute favorite bands around- and this cover just blows me away! Great job! Team up with Ben as much as you can!
From middle school to now you are still getting me through the toughest times in my life. Your voice has always been so moving. Continue to keep doing what you do helping the world🖤
Okay first how is this song been out for 2 months and I’m just now hearing it, and second how have I not known that I NEEDED this cover until now??? Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you, Diamanté and Ben! ❤️❤️❤️
So, lil fun fact for anyone who might wanna get in their feels. I grew up listening to Breaking Benjamin. That was (as I call it) mine and my dad's band. When I was a little girl and suffering from a lot of PTSD from abuse my dad would rock me to sleep and would sing mellowed versions of old school rock n' roll songs. Breaking Benjamin was always a reoccurring theme. I discovered DIAMANTE during a period of extreme growth in my life. I had left my old life behind in search of a new beginning and safety. So the two coming together feels a bit full circle to me. I don't get to see or talk to my dad as often due to conflicting schedules and things of that nature. But whenever I wanna remember the good ol days I listen to some Breaking Benjamin. And when I'm feeling extra down I put this song on repeat. To remind me of the good ol days with my dad, and how strong I've become in my new life. In becoming the best version of myself.
One of my favorite songs right now is Diamante and Bad Wolves on Hear me now. I have to say after hearing this for the first time it is right up there. Her voice is so unquie that it just works VERY WELL with the people she is doing the duets with, obviously thats why she picked them but i mean like I may not like some very well known good singers because its not my cup of tea but this is right down my alley.
Iris is one of my alllllll time favorite songs....it has been attached to so many significant moments in my life and I cannot listen to it without crying. Breaking Benjamin has always been special to me because my children's mother was an absolute fanatic of them and we both loved BB for our own reasons. We both absolutely loved this song, again for our own reasons. Now that she has passed, this song got me deep in the feels. As I type this out, listening to this amazing cover, I am wiping tears away, now for another significant reason. Remembering her. Her legacy and the love for her that never died.
@@bottomofastairwell you made me tear up because I get what you're saying all the way to my core. It feels as though this song was made just for me(you as well). There's no other song that is this personal to me. (This as well, again). I'm glad that you're out there, sharing the same love and sentiment for the the Same. Exact. Song. 🖤♥️🖤 For once, there's somebody that DOES understand. 😉
This is exactly what good covers sound like. Either as a band, an artist or even a duet, you keep the core sound and feel of the original song and you do it justice by doing what you're good at and incorporating it into the song. Knowing when to stick true to the song and when to change it to your musical abilities is key. 10/10 from me.
Dude he did amazing with my other favorite singer, Scooter Ward, with far away. Both of them are so powerful in their lyrics but I can listen to every song that Benjamin Burnley sings. Got to see him back in 05 at dog jam 2 with hinder, Blackstone cherry, and stained. Been way too long to see Breaking Benjamin play live and I hope I get to soon because after he fired the band when blow me away came out without his ok I thought it was the end for Benjamin Burnley
12:10 am wed july6, this video showed up in my recommended list. I am broken and have been for years but I keep fighting on THIS COVER of this amazing song has brought a LONG NEEDED smile to my SOUL. It made me want to sing and live again. Simply Put.... Thank You😊
@jim H. As someone who has/is dealing with a whole heap of shit in my life, I can only say this : Find the one thing that gives you a reason to get out of bed each day. If you go to the gym/work, great. If all you do is get out of bed and have some toast, that’s great too. Music gives each and everyone a way to release, in their own way. I’m glad that this cover made you feel good about yourself, even if only for the length of this one song. Stay strong brother, find your own happy, however and wherever you can. Peace

💯
Ben, Chester, Adam and Pete are the best in my opinion.
Facts 🔥
It's a beautiful interpretation of a classic musical like "Iris", especially because two talented artists joined their voices to bring this song to life once again.
It's just great.
Just his "Alive" brought back a whole decade...
Right?!?!
Can we say their voices together are perfect?
I actually just wrote exactly that when I shared this vid on my FB. Lol
Yess! I just said the same when I posted it to Facebook.
Yes. Them and also his redone version of Dear Agony with Lacey. These two women sound awesome with him.
Lacey > Dia
@@cmtrix2627 agreed
Ben's screams in the back align perfectly with her voice.
Because she have a high-pitched voice it is kind of hard to hear with Benjamin staying in the background
I didn't get that vibe. Seemed off for me. Beautiful vocals separately.
Her voice sounds like a dudes when she does the rock sounding bits. Would have sounded better if it was higher pitched

First 3DG covering "Somebody that I used to know" now we got this masterpiece of a cover. Nice year for Rock tbh
Wait what??? I'm going to check that out!
You mean Matt Walst and the rest of the old band members from Adams band. Three Days Grace doesn't exist anymore.
i was excited when i saw they covered somebody i used to know until i heard it. i did not like it at all and i thought rock version of that song would kick ass but i think they did a terrible job with it personally

Iris - Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
[Verse 2]
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later, it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
[Chorus]
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
[Verse 3]
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
[Chorus]
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
[Chorus]
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
[Outro]
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

ua-cam.com/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/v-deo.html U gotta hear this!
Looked for your comment lol thanks
Their two voices together is indescribable. We need more from them!!
Tears were brought to my eyes after hearing the amazing voices of two amazing understood people. Thanks Ben for reminding me to never give up.
I don't normally like remakes, but this is beautiful. Bens voice still gives me goosebumps..
Thank you very much for being a big fan. I took my time to look at my fans and followers on social media and I noticed you’re a big fan of mine. I have taken my time to appreciate some of my fans with my private email ivanmoondy@gmail.com and you are one lucky one.. Thank you, much love
Ben is awesome. Diamanté is absolutely a perfect blend on these rock songs. She’s perfectly in tune, and the song with Bad Wolves is absolutely beautiful. Love Breaking Benjamin!
I don't know why I cried , but I did and I fucking love this cover !
I've always enjoyed the original version by the Goo Goo Dolls, but there's something about this version that made me feel like I can go harder than before and uplift me to another level. I never thought I hear it as a duet but that changed the moment I heard it and I'm so glad I heard it since. Great cover Diamante and Ben, you two rock!
Very very rarely i hear something better than the original, but this is certainly one of those songs.
Doesnt surprise me either, Ben Burnleys voice is phenominal and Diamonte is a wonderful singer herself.
They really sung this from the heart
I remember hearing this song for the first time years ago. It brought me to tears. Ben’s voice and story of sobriety. This was when i decided enough was enough.
See, scream, click, like and fall in love over again with both the song and both artists thank you.
Love this, and I'm so happy that Ben's voice doesn't completely bury hers like it does when he recorded Dear Agony w/ Lacey Sturm.
Insane! Breaking Benjamin was and is by far my favorite band of all time. Amazing cover.
I came here for Breaking Benjamin. Ben Burnley is one of modern rocks best
One of. If not the best imo. Completely under related as well.
Absolutely incredible. I've always loved this song and this is an amazing cover. Their vocals fit together perfectly
"and i dont want the world to see me, cause i dont think that theyd understand, when everythings meant to be broken, i just want you to know who i am"
- hardest hitting lyrics ever.
I have been listening to ben for 14 years and this gentleman never disappoints keep rocking brother 🤘🏼
This music video dropping at the same time as Seether’s new album is such a blessing.
I thought the same thing!
Felt this in my soul.. You guys killed it and I love how great it sounds as a duet with both your voices. The Feels!!!
Look into Diamanté further, she is an amazing lyricist. She has good songs on her own, a acoustic of Obvious that will blow your mind, and a cool as song with bad wolves. She is so underrated!
The original will always be top tier and a go to but this cover right here is just as amazing!
More duets from these two please
Would love to hear this stripped down with both voices. Have loved this song for many years! ❤
UNPLUGGED!! NOW THERES SOMTHING FOR A ZOOM CONCERT CONCEPT!!
This is a beautiful cover of a beautiful song, the two blend together crazy well!
Maybe an uncommon opinion, but for me... it would be heaven to hear a collaboration with Ben, and Myles Kennedy. They both have a way of sending the most beautiful emotions in their music, 2 big parts of my life and individually, there music has kept me holding on at times its felt impossible, I feel like there's something magical in that..
And it would be truly beautiful, to see what they could produce.
Could not agree more with you! Ben and Myles are also two of my all time favourite singers. I listen to them all the time! Honestly, I would love for that to happen!
@@villagweedo glad I'm not alone in this! Both of their music has meant so much to me, so much so I'd say it altered me as a person... it was through the emotion in their music, that you'd have to be cold not to feel that i discovered how truly magical music can be.
Absolutely! I know that Alter Bridge are very well-known here in the UK. I've never seen them before, but I have seen Breaking Benjamin a few times when I lived in Texas. Both bands are unique and I've never known them to have a bad song. And their voices... magical! 😍

Gotta hear this !!!!!!!!!!
I love that Diamonte and Ben really come off as friends here. So many collaborations these days just feel like studio-mandated and the music reflects it
I felt this in my inner most core! Absolutely relatable. I was scheduled to go out on the road, clear across the country. Was even prepared to just eat peanut butter just to get there. Self sacrifice for greater causes is difficult. I try to be as zen about the fall as I am about getting back up!
After quite extensive faith and commitment, I'm about to finally leave and start my dream. Still unsure to what extreme yet, but all we can do is walk through the door when its presented.
Thank you for this!
I'm absolutely in love with Ben. What an artist. Been loving him since 1999 and always will.
I am unashamed to say I actually teared up @ the 1:57 portion. Y’all done a fabulous job on this. Bravo.
This girl is really good but when Ben does his thing GOOSEBUMPS!!! Also this song is amazing no matter who sings it!
ua-cam.com/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/v-deo.html U gotta hear this!!
just love the rasp in her voice paired with ben's voice its amazing
Best song rendition of all time
Absolutely
The most beautiful song I have ever had the privilege of growing up hearing, now sang by the two most beautiful voices I have ever heard sing it. Diamante, your breathy flow with this song is seriously addicting. I now fall asleep to your voice. Ben, you have been nothing but amazing since I first heard Dance With The Devil in high school back in 2006. I have never stopped clicking on your music and I don't plan to. Please, keep speaking to my soul.
I have never heard two people harmonize so beautifully
Wow...this is amazing. She is REALLY REALLY GOOD! Their voices are made for each other. My God...
The only thing left is a diamente and three days grace collaboration
To be honest, I had no idea that one of my favorite bands from high school was still performing. Not to mention performing iris 🤯. And as you'd expect from Ben, amazing!
Still touring and putting out new albums too, at least until the world stopped they were
Her humming at 3:10 are such a breaking benjamin sound it’s incredible
Seriously...anybody NOT get chills when the strings come in at 2:22? Wow!!
I absolutely love the original song. But the voices of you two together just gave me insane goosebumps! Love this cover now too.
How am i just hearing this now??? It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and you look sooo good! 🥵
I just screamed and have been smiling through this WHOLE song. OH MY GOSH.
I love Ben so much. 😭😭💖💖💖
ua-cam.com/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/v-deo.html U gotta hear this!!!
When everything feels like the movies,YEAH YOU BLEED JUST TO KNOW YOU’RE ALIVE!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
I loved the Goo Goo Dolls version band I absolutely love this version. Ben’s vocals are fantastically beautiful and Diamante adds another layer of epic
ua-cam.com/video/UyTLzUBDzYY/v-deo.html
Gotta hear this !!!!!!!!!!!
Wow i just thought to myself i’ve been listening to Breaking Benjamin for 20 years now, man time passes so quickly
Around 3:20, the power in their combined voices hits like a fucking freight train. It actually spooked me a little.
Incredible! One of the best covers. Breaking Benjamin is one of my absolute favorite bands around- and this cover just blows me away! Great job! Team up with Ben as much as you can!
From middle school to now you are still getting me through the toughest times in my life. Your voice has always been so moving. Continue to keep doing what you do helping the world🖤
I repeat this atleast 5 times everytime i had different memories from my childhood such a good song
ua-cam.com/video/UyTLzUBDzYY/v-deo.html
Gotta hear this !!!!!!!!!!!
There are few time where a cover hits as hard as an original, this is an exceptional case where it actually hits harder than the original.
Oh wow that's a big compliment! Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls is a masterpiece
Super agree with this
Hurt by cash is the only one that pops in my head
Kellin Quinn’s cover is also amazing
My husband died September 20 2020 and this is our song. I love the remix. Made me cry.
Okay first how is this song been out for 2 months and I’m just now hearing it, and second how have I not known that I NEEDED this cover until now??? Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you, Diamanté and Ben! ❤️❤️❤️
ua-cam.com/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/v-deo.html U gotta hear this!
By far one of my favorite covers of this song this song has always touched my soul and you guys did a great job singing it
ua-cam.com/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/v-deo.html U gotta hear this!!!
So, lil fun fact for anyone who might wanna get in their feels.
I grew up listening to Breaking Benjamin. That was (as I call it) mine and my dad's band. When I was a little girl and suffering from a lot of PTSD from abuse my dad would rock me to sleep and would sing mellowed versions of old school rock n' roll songs. Breaking Benjamin was always a reoccurring theme.
I discovered DIAMANTE during a period of extreme growth in my life. I had left my old life behind in search of a new beginning and safety.
So the two coming together feels a bit full circle to me. I don't get to see or talk to my dad as often due to conflicting schedules and things of that nature. But whenever I wanna remember the good ol days I listen to some Breaking Benjamin. And when I'm feeling extra down I put this song on repeat. To remind me of the good ol days with my dad, and how strong I've become in my new life. In becoming the best version of myself.
One of my favorite songs right now is Diamante and Bad Wolves on Hear me now. I have to say after hearing this for the first time it is right up there. Her voice is so unquie that it just works VERY WELL with the people she is doing the duets with, obviously thats why she picked them but i mean like I may not like some very well known good singers because its not my cup of tea but this is right down my alley.
Iris is one of my alllllll time favorite songs....it has been attached to so many significant moments in my life and I cannot listen to it without crying.
Breaking Benjamin has always been special to me because my children's mother was an absolute fanatic of them and we both loved BB for our own reasons. We both absolutely loved this song, again for our own reasons. Now that she has passed, this song got me deep in the feels. As I type this out, listening to this amazing cover, I am wiping tears away, now for another significant reason. Remembering her. Her legacy and the love for her that never died.
Legit, it's my go to song if I need to cry. And to hear the guy from my all time favourite band singing it? I just can't. All I can say is thank you.
@@bottomofastairwell you made me tear up because I get what you're saying all the way to my core. It feels as though this song was made just for me(you as well). There's no other song that is this personal to me. (This as well, again). I'm glad that you're out there, sharing the same love and sentiment for the the Same. Exact. Song. 🖤♥️🖤 For once, there's somebody that DOES understand. 😉
Wow, I'm so glad these two amazing singers came together to do this, it made me cry. What a beautiful piece of music

Gotta hear this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all for existing at the same time as me. I love you all and please don't stop enjoying your life.
love this
This is exactly what good covers sound like. Either as a band, an artist or even a duet, you keep the core sound and feel of the original song and you do it justice by doing what you're good at and incorporating it into the song. Knowing when to stick true to the song and when to change it to your musical abilities is key.
10/10 from me.
Woooow❤❤❤❤
when ever ben does a duet with a girl is always plays so well.
Dude he did amazing with my other favorite singer, Scooter Ward, with far away. Both of them are so powerful in their lyrics but I can listen to every song that Benjamin Burnley sings. Got to see him back in 05 at dog jam 2 with hinder, Blackstone cherry, and stained. Been way too long to see Breaking Benjamin play live and I hope I get to soon because after he fired the band when blow me away came out without his ok I thought it was the end for Benjamin Burnley
12:10 am wed july6, this video showed up in my recommended list. I am broken and have been for years but I keep fighting on
THIS COVER of this amazing song has brought a LONG NEEDED smile to my SOUL. It made me want to sing and live again. Simply Put.... Thank You😊

@jim H. As someone who has/is dealing with a whole heap of shit in my life, I can only say this : Find the one thing that gives you a reason to get out of bed each day. If you go to the gym/work, great. If all you do is get out of bed and have some toast, that’s great too.
Music gives each and everyone a way to release, in their own way. I’m glad that this cover made you feel good about yourself, even if only for the length of this one song.
Stay strong brother, find your own happy, however and wherever you can.
Peace
@@Morthatron Thank you very much for all those nice beautiful things you said. Much Love, means alot!! ✌✌✌
This song should be one day long
The cover and vocal pairing nobody knew they needed this year
I've never cried so hard, new achievement unlocked with this song.
Currently 3am. Didn’t think I needed this SO much😭❤️
3:35am here. I know the feeling 😭
