Angels fall : I will never say goodbye
@@jesusmolina7579what is her name, because she's not gone she will always be yours. I can't pretend to know how you feel nor am I trying to I just I couldn't fathom it
This is the song I listened to on repeat for 5 days straight while my beautiful 5 year old angel slowly died away in front of me. She had one of the most painful types of cancer (stomach). The only thing I could do was sit there with her and pretend not to want to cry my eyes out the whole time. She was such a good hearted girl that she HATED to see us sad and didn't want to see us cry because of her suffering. She cared more about our pain then her own. I played this song because it helped me to keep it together in front of her so I could seem like I was ok. This song a perfect description of what she went through and how I felt about it. On days when I really miss her I just play this song because this song was part of the last moments I had with her. At least now I can let my tears flow because she is with the angels in heaven.
So sorry and I just shouted on my 3 years old daughters because they were fighting for a toy.. They are very naughty last days but damn.. At least they are healhy happy kids.. I should be grateful and stop punishing them for being .. Well .. Just kids actually. Your story brings me to tears. I am listening to this song thinkong about my dead brother who died at age of 22 in a car accident but your pain and your lost... I'm so sorry for you and your family.
May she rest in peace and may u find the same
This comment made me cry harder than the song did.
Jesus I thought I was having a bad day.
Does anyone else get so many chills when the last chorus hits?
Yess
i do
I get them throughout the entire song.

I want this sung at my funeral... Anyone else feels this way?
Me
Mhm
sadly you will never know
Made my best friend and mother promise to play it.
So true
"I keep holding onto you, but I can't bring you back to life."
The whole song is amazing but this verse just hits different.
I hope you never have what that statement feels like. After having my father die in my arms. I know
@@brettweltz8135 Experienced the same over 10 years ago.
Sounds like my marriage
@@brettweltz8135I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I was a perimdic for 15 yrs saw a lot of death and it was always personal to me. Sorry for your loss
Yep it's all stages of grief
I'm 19 years old and my mom was just diagnosed with lung cancer.... This is so hard for me. I dont want my daughter to miss out on what an amazing person she is.
it may be tragic but you can't change it you got to deal with the cards you're dealt in life
Danielle Anonymous I know I’m late but I’m really sorry about that hope things are better
In memory of my nephew Otto. Every time I hear this song I am reminded of you. Your grandfather had to pry my fingers off of your baby casket. I left that room with a broken spirit and a heavy heart. It's been 6 months and 7 days since I said my last good bye. The road to recovery has been long and draining and I can't say I've made it to the other side, because every day is a battle on the inside. But I'm going to be fine, because I believe Heaven has a playground and you're playing with your brother Antonio and your cousin Skye.. You're singing the anthem of the angels, but this is not our last good bye.. The battle will be over soon and I shall come home to you one day over the moon. I love you, bud.
^In Memory of Otto John Geiger^
^August 3, 2014 - November 5, 2014^
Thank you, man. You could say I've been around the fight.. It's always a battle. There's always a hill to climb and a monster to slay. Until Kingdom Comes, the battle will wage on and on and on.
Charles Gates All the feels from that. Man, I am moved by what you said here.
It wasn't my intention, but I'm glad you were moved.. Life is precious. The best of us are cut short before our time, others waste what little time they have, but a few are pulled back from the doors of death. It's hard to say when you've seen too much, but I have seen enough to know that where darkness falls, the light is sure to rise.
You gave me the chills man they are singing the anthem
Charles Gates ......Damn, man...... I got 4 neices and a nephew and if I had to see ANY of them in a casket that young...... I... I think I'd eat a bullet.
7 years ago today i lost my grandmother to cancer she always loved angels today this is her song. love you grandma
you have my condolences
it really doesn't i lost all of my grandparents before i even started high school over 6 years ago and the pain still has not left
the feeling of losing someone is not something you can get over quickly, it takes time but remember everything that you have done with them, all the happy memories and keep their memories close at heart and you will move on
my friends mom died on her freshman year of high school, it's never easy to lose someone like that... my grandma is still fighting but it's taking it's toll, I can't imagine life without her..
OMG ⚘⚘⚘
3:04 ...there is nothing left of you...so much emotions putted in that part...
I love that part. Wait, I love the whole damn song. It's amazing. I just REALLY discovered Breaking benjamin a few weeks ago, but I heard my first song by them some years ago because of Halo 2
Cameron Reyno They are really amazing, every single song is masterpiece
I know!
Junebug😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣
Theres nothing left of an empty seater
this song is great, brings back a lot of sad memories. Sometimes you hate your life or the way you are now, but in the future you'll miss those moments spent with your friends and family.
My father was diagnosed with cancer a year ago while i had just started my studies abroad. I could visit him every 4-6 months. I watched him transform as cancer took the toll on him. But he hoped he would beat it until he gave his last breath. This song reminds me of our long,painful and lost battle. But we fought.
Dear agony is the best breaking benjamin album
Lord Zaber bullshit phobia
agreed
All of their albums are awesome. :)
Lord Zaber definitely!
TUGmillerK I liked both Dear Agony and Phobia.
still listening to this in 2016. why? because breaking Benjamin is fucking bad ass !
amen. agree!
true
yes is true
yeah
wow never heard this song til now its amazing.
“There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye” Man this song and those lyrics will haunt me forever, it’s how I felt after my wife had surgery, she developed hellp syndrome and had to deliver our son early. Poor guy only lasted half an hour. They brought me into the surgery because they pretty much wrote my wife off as going to die. I swore to God if she went I would soon follow as I had no one left. She miraculously pulled through. I hold her close after that and thank God everyday she is alive.
I lost all dearest people , i am so alone, listening to this and crying
keep moving forward. take it day by day. it helps. it's hard, but it helps.
Junebug😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I know how much losing everyone who is dear to you feels. I very much sympathize with you, im losing the people I love most. What advice I can offer you, is to stay strong, and keep up the fight. When one door closes, another opens. someday up in heaven, with the angels, you and everyone youve lost will reunite.
I saw a post on reddit that summarized this best.
"Alright, here goes. I'm old. What that means is that I've survived (so far) and a lot of people I've known and loved did not. I've lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can't imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here's my two cents.
I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don't want it to "not matter". I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can't see.
As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.
In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.
Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out.
Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks."
I wrote this comment when i lost my brother in car accident on 16th of September in 2018 .miis Him 😔
I'm probably taking this song way too literally, but I'm gonna share my story anyway. It has a happy ending, so enjoy.
There's an awkward age gap in my family, added to the fact that my mother had me at the age of 16. My aunt, Dani, is two years older than me. My uncle, Josh, was four. Growing up, they were the closest thing to siblings I ever had. Sometimes we were complete assholes to each other. The rest of the time, we were thick as thieves. We even worked together into our teens, but then we grew up. Things change. I just turned twenty-three, the same age Josh was when he died, and to run the point home, I remember Dani saying "if something happened to you right now, if you died, would you feel fulfilled? Would you have done everything you wanted to do? Because I know I haven't."
She was hit by a car in the middle of a crosswalk not long after that; the force somersaulted her over the vehicle's hood and caused her to slam into the pavement head first, suffering multiple skull fractures and a broken spine. The doctors told us not to get our hopes up, because people in her condition don't typically survive. I learned a lot about Traumatic Brain Injuries in the meantime; apparently, swelling in the brain following an accident like that can cause even more damage than the initial trauma itself. They measured the pressure in her skull every hour or so, doing everything in their power to keep those numbers down. They told us that a pressure reading between 7 and 15 was normal, but if it went over 20, the patient was in trouble. Over 30, and there wasn't enough blood getting to the brain.
They could give her drugs. Mannitol, mainly. They could drain the fluids from her brain and hope it didn't carry an infection back in. Everything they tried worked...for an hour or two. Then the numbers went back up. Secondary infections set in. They had dozens of things to try, but after fighting the inevitable for a few days, we were running out of options. They tried putting her into a Pentobarbital coma: a highly experimental treatment for severe TBI which put her so deep under she wasn't even capable of breathing on her own. Following that, she kept numbers in the twenties range for a solid three hours. We were so happy we went out to eat. To celebrate, you know? We actually dared to think she'd be okay.
When we got back, her numbers were at 45: right in the lethal range of where her brain might herniate and put her in cardiac arrest. It would happen quickly, unexpectedly, and be over in moments. I stayed up with her. Just in case, you know? This song reminds me so much of that night: I wanted my mom and grandmother to get a full 8 hours of sleep, so I didn't want to wake anyone unless the pressure in her skull hit thirty. It hit thirty within the hour, so I decided thirty-five was more reasonable. I spent the night alone in that dark hospital room, clasping her cold hands while I watched the numbers rise. I talked to her; it's so easy to spill everything to a coma patient. I told her that if she didn't make it, I wasn't sure I wanted to keep going, either. There was a little girl screaming in the next room; the hospital's neuro-trauma ICU doubled as a critical burn unit, and a little girl with severe burns had just been put next door. I remember it being three a.m and hearing this little kid screaming "mommy please no!" over and over again and wondering if it was even real. Then, Dani's numbers hit 35, and I couldn't wait any longer. The nurse, who had been so optimistic before, said today would probably be the day we had "the talk" about ending life support.
That was all one day. Twenty-four hours in that hospital room. A constant roller-coaster of emotions we went through every day, not knowing if she'd make it through the night, or what sort of life she'd have if she did make it, which continued for weeks. The neurosurgeon kept repeating that recovering from a TBI wasn't a fifty meter dash, it was a marathon. He was right. When her numbers started to improve, and we believed the worse was behind us, the neurosurgeon sat us down and explained that she was in a vegetative state and would never wake up again. We had to consider whether or not to unplug life support from that same person who had a theme song for me, kicked my ass at Guitar Hero, and joined me on the roof to talk about life and how afraid we were of the future. There's no moral right or wrong decision in that case; you're always wondering if what you're doing is the right choice. What if? The weather's been getting colder and I've been thinking about it a lot lately, I guess.
Yet, despite the doctors and nurses and surgeons swearing up and down she'd never wake up again, she did. At first, she couldn't read, write, or speak. The communication barrier was awful. She cried a lot. She didn't remember anyone. She didn't remember Josh. She spent the next few weeks recovering by leaps and bounds, so quickly that no rehab facility would take her; any doctor looking at her medical records refused to believe that a patient with ICP numbers that high could be responsive, so we had to attach videos to her files to prove it. She ended up making a full recovery, other than some struggles with reading comprehension. It's just one of those things that changes everything. Puts the important things into perspective. Life is too short, and it can be over too fast.
How is she today? I hope she and you're family are doing well. I hope you don't have to go through that again.
This is truly an eye opening life incident. I hope you guys are all happy now. shit happends but we must stay strong and move on in life but never forget the past
Wow I was pretty sure that story was gonna end differently. I'm really glad she survived. How are you all doing now?
Thank you so much for sharing
you write incredibly well, thank you for sharing this
Every time i hear the line "there is nothing left of you i can see it in your eyes" it reminds me the day i lost my dog Charly I saw the life dying out in his eyes when he was in my arms, I accompanied him until the end. It was my little angel i loved him so much
One of my best friends killed himself just two days ago..I watched as he descended from his friendly, happy self, into a heartbroken, shattered soul. Angel, you were a fading light in this bleak, blank darkness we are surrounded by. Now, all I can do is continue to fade. But maybe, just maybe, I could burn on just a while longer, if naught for your sake. Good luck, buddy. Never forget who you were, and keep light on who you shall continue to be.
This song brings me to tears every time. My best friend's mother who loved breaking Benjamin passed away July 7th 2020. Their family welcomed me even though I was a stranger and have treated like family since I was a teenager. I love and miss you mama jo.
"Hope fills the heart and fades away"...so true that I couldn't stop crying after hearing this part.
i just remembered why i avoided listening to this song for the last 3 and a half years...
RIP chris
Breaking Benjamin has such deep, soul-tearing music...
I am not emotionally affected by this song, it's just a really good song to me.
i'm a 17 year old kid who just watched his mother die...and this song doesn't affect me... does that make me crazy... a sociopath...evil...
Hey there.. I want you to know I didn't mean anything towards you. I'm so sorry about your mom. I can take off the comment too. I don't know if you were sarcastic in your question, but if you weren't, it doesn't make you crazy at all. From what it sounds like... you've been through a lot, and it'd be wrong for me to try to understand. I was just trying to express how much this band, for whatever reason, really makes me feel emotions that I've been trying to hide. I don't know you, but if you ever want to talk about things, feel free to message me. Life can get easier... when you have someone to talk to..
Elizabeth Anne Hey just wanted to tell you that you're an amazing person. :)
I'm a sociopathic robot who is learning to feel
"Days go on forever
But I have not left your side
We can chase the dark together
If you go then so will I"
Hits home intensely. My troubles with my teenage nonverbal autistic son.
“I keep holding onto you.. but I can’t bring you back to life..” that’s the part that hit me the hardest.. why did you have to go? Why couldn’t we do anything to stop it? I miss you so much..
I have lost both of my grandfathers. This song is the only thing that has been able to cut through my barriers and allow me to feel the emotions I need to feel in order to grieve properly
This song is pure art.
It is. 😢
I’m in tears rn..this song helps me with my depression..I’ve lost the only ones who loved me..n when I listen to this song it makes me feel as if they never left me...thank you breaking Benjamin ❤️
Feel ya. Can't lie and say I know exactly how you feel as everyone is unique. Sending what lil positive vibes i have. Mean that from the heart
Oh God. I sang this one to my grandma when she died. She was stil warm and soft, peacefully lying in her deathbed.
I'm still broken inside.
I know where u come from the pain will get better
Hazel Ault Thank you :)
I know that feeling. Every time I hear this song, I remember being with my grandfather in the hospital room next to my uncles and mom, in his very final moments he was conscious (He was battling cancer). Its lyrics are so powerful, I almost tear up whenever I hear this song. It will get better. It comforts me to know that he's in better place, no longer in pain, but that's just me. But wow, this is a powerful song.
EranShahr Thanks for your kind words. I know she is happy now in heaven, but I just miss her so much...
May she watch over you
I love BB poetic imagery in this song. I imagine it takes place in hospice or some hospital "cold lights above us" and "rain taps the window" "the walls are white" "we will sleep among the dead". My favourite "the light will never touch your face" considering that BB sets the mood of the scene with rain and the fact that hospital curtains are usually closed and patients are feeling artificial light instead of light.
When the "rain taps" it is gentle which means the moment is not chaotic it's persistent; likewise, mirroring the visitor's sorrow. Rain is often associated with sadness. Just the words he uses "cold" "white" "rain" "winter" set the atmosphere of the song.
Just a small analysis. I'm probably completely wrong but this song hits really fucking hard 🤘
Sometimes I can't believe how long I've been into Breaking Benjamin...but I was an angsty, depressed 16 year old when I stumbled across them. Still so glad I did ♥
Just heard this song for the first time today, 6 days after my fiance passed away. This is... powerful.
its alright, the good people of the internet are here for you
Sorry for your loss man, you're in my prayers
Sorry for ur loss rip😔
you have my condolences
Her soul definitely has a good taste in music. Condolences, man.
it's been 3 years already and I haven't Had Enough of this song, it makes me feel like I'm Close To Heaven, thank You, Breaking Benjamin, for doing such a great job at cheering me up when I feel Hollow, this comment is probably gonna drown Into The Nothing of this comment section, but oh well.
Thats awesome
Deep comment from a minion
I never left your side. You were an inspiration and hero to all who knew and loved you. You taught me what it is to sacrifice. Give me strength to continue on until the day that we can hold each other again. I love you Momma now and always. RIP Rosie Lee Dozier-Sanford. 07.28.55 - 10.14.13. I know you're singing with the angels.
you'll meet her again one day dude :)
ll Jaefrozen ll Thank you. That is one of the things that keeps me going.
emitting poison fart field Quit telling this person lies to make him/her feel good.
Tyler Bowers This is Google Plus bitch ass.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I just lost my mother .this song is just what I feel...love you breaking benjamin forever..
My husband passed away in my arms last week. And when I listen to this song I can't help but see it all again in my mind. He passed away peacefully but far to young to die. I sang the Anthem of the Angels before I said goodbye. R.I.P my darling husband. I will see you again someday.
September 2016 I lost my father to ALS (IceBucketChallenge disease). ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, meaning it slowly breaks down all the muscles in the body. There is no cure, no hope. You get diagnosed with ALS you die. After diagnosis you have around 3 to 5 years to live. The problem is it will be a horrible few years. One musclegroup at a time stops to do its work. You lose the ability to walk, to speak, to put on shoes, hell you'll even lose the ability to wipe your own arse. It all ends when at last even your respiration muscles stop funtioning.
I lost my father to this. He did not have 3 to 5 years after diagnosis. He died 9 months after diagnosis, age 52.
Every time I hear this song tears come to my eyes. The lyrics are so horribly familiar,
''there is nothing left of you, I can see it in your eyes.''
"Hope fills the heart and fades away."
"Skin white as winter, as the sky returns to grey."
"You are dead alive"
sir Blake I lost my dad to it as well in 2011 after watching him wither away for 4 Years. I always say this song describes word for word the morning we lost him when I was only 11. Bless you for also losing someone to one of the worst diseases known to man. Nobody understands.
My wife & i just found out 20 hours ago that our first baby has died in my wifes womb. 40weeks plus 10 days. It was alive 7 days ago. it also happens that my name is Benjamin. It's heartbreaking. But it happens.
Damn... i hope you guys have a child now, i hope your all sleeping well at the moment
Damn, Ben! Sorry to hear about that! I'm here for ya, buddy!
12/27/17 here brother. People that never been through it can't comprehend just how powerful our bond was to our baby angels. I hope you and your wife are doing as well as you can.
Same thing with us on 12/27/2017 brother. Hope you both are doing as well as you can be. Holding my son and seeing a blood trickle where tears should have been is an image I see every day.
Thank you very much everyone for you compassion, understanding & kind words. We had a beautiful baby daughter Alana Maisie Gibson born sleeping 12th January 2017. I named my restoration project land rover after her. We tried again after we laid our first baby daughter Alana to rest. Had a second beautiful baby daughter Hayley Joyce Gibson born alive & well 25th January 2018. Unfortunately with the outbreak of the Covid19. Was the straw that broke the camel's back on our marriage. Our Psychiatrist tells me that most relationships don't survive the loss of a child. We are still parents. Just not together any more.
I work in critical care. This song always makes me cry.
This song was played at my son's funeral, Thanx Ben and the rest of the band, this is a great song that's helped a lot of people!
I really want this song to be played in my funeral.. This is just so beautiful..
This music is so powerful. It hits me hard right in the center of the chest. Afterwards i fell stronger. Like everything in my personal journey has shaped me to be stronger. This is music for the soul.
awww I feel bad for him...
I feel, literally, his pain in his voice... He had to go through a lot... ;/
I'm understand, and now I like him & his music
The angels sang their anthem, as I was watching the flames burn higher into the sky, the black smoke burning the blue out of the sky. I said goodbye to the only friend I've ever had, a tear running down my glassy eyes. I fell to my knees, the faint pain nothing compared to the pain I felt inside, like somebody had cut open my chest and ripped out my heart, leaving only hate, grief, anger and confusion. "I'm sorry." I whispered, the flaming body saying nothing back. Sobs wrecked my body, shaking me like a tree in a feirce storm as I said my final goodbyes.
One of the most underrated songs of Breaking Benjamin
I love this man, his voice sends chills through me. I can listen to him 24/7, oh wait I do... I would love to meet him. Hopefully I will, trying to save $ for his concert in September.
I like singing this song for some reason
I'm 17, but damn this songs is gold. 80s-90s-2000s is the gold era of musics..not now
This song made me think of my nana. She died on August 24, 2010. I was nine at the time, about to turn ten in two months. She was very depressed because of some stuff that had happened to her. She committed suicide. Now because of that mom has severe depression and anxiety and ptsd (post traumatic stress disorder), and I also have severe depression. Mom was talking to nana (on the phone) right before it happened.
If any of you are thinking of ending your life, please think about it first. Your actions could hurt so many people. They could be traumatized by it for the rest of their lives. Especially if they walked in and found you with a bullet in your head, or a rope around your neck, or a knife in your heart, or whatever you chose to do. You never know what could happen. They might also be depressed and as soon as they saw the gun, or the rope, or the knife, or the pill bottle or whatever you used they might grab it and end their life too. So please, think about it before you decide to end your life.
I hope you all have a good day, and don't give up. You are strong and you will get through this. You will win this battle with your depression or anxiety or any other mental illness you might have. Just try to be strong, and if you are depressed please try to get help. Go to a counselor, talk to a friend, get some antidepressants, do whatever it takes, just PLEASE try to get better. I believe in you, you can do this.
SkyAnna true there is no way to end yourself without taking something from someone else.
SkyAnna hang in there
i have a 2 voice 1 tells me to hurt kill my self the other tells to to hurt others and make them suffer for making my friends feel bad
SkyAnna it's not that simple. Especially if ur like me and for 1:everyone hates you. For 2: multiple people on multiple occasions have told you that you should just end it all. And 3rd: when the only person you care about wishes you never existed😔😔😔😔
thank you.....seriously...thank you. i was just thinking about doing this exact thing. then i saw this comment, and it made me remember i have people who care about me. thank you.
It's been almost 10 years since I lost you. I still miss you mother.
"I keep holding onto you, but I can't bring you back to life... Say the last goodbye..."
I dedicated my entire youth and existence to save and protect others life by becoming a fully formed paramedic and Mountain Rescue volounteer, saving many lives but I couldn't save my girl.
She passed away holding my hands, after one week of coma because of a DUI running over her, waiting me for a last goodbye.
That's though man, stay strong! You saved so many people, remember that, I'm not saying you should forget her, not at all, keep the good bits as memories, and when you're old and look back on your life, see all the amazing things you done, the people you saved, the memories you made. Even though I don't know who you are, you are an amazing person!!!
@@_morningcoffee_ thanks for the kinds words.
It was my darkest period.
I would had asked her hand in a month, right after her graduation as a nurse.
I've reached the bottom when I tried to cut open my chest with a scalpel to see if I still had my heart.
My 9yrs old sister stopped me in time.
Fortunately, I started dating again☺️
@@oliviero46 good to hear you're doing better, keep your head up, you'll be alright!
Sat with my father day in and day out, the last month and half of his life after a 4 year battle with cancer. Day by day, he grew increasingly less lucid, less coherent. In the last 3 or 4 days, he had lost the strength to even speak, and the week prior to that, anything he had to say began to make little sense. I clung to every word still, every moment, every breath, like never before. He was as much my best friend as he was my father. It's been 2 years since he left, and I miss him terribly every day. I've not yet found another song that so powerfully encapsulates how I felt during that time or portrays those moments like a story captured in a song. I highly doubt I ever will.
This coming March on the 24th, will be 6 years since my mom passed away. I was 12 years old at the time. Every time I play this song. I burst into tears. I would do anything to bring my mom back to life. But I can't. The other day, my uncle showed me a voice recording of my mom. I can't bear to hear it. Cause when I do, I cry my eyes out of my sockets. I also want to thank Breaking Benjamin for making such great music. Rock on people. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘
Everyone relates this song to death, and I personally relate it not just to death, but to watching someone change after witnessing a death and losing someone close to them...Its like they die too - they lose their innocence, they are no longer who they were before, and that person that they were is never coming back . Its like the loss of two people in very different ways. "You're dead alive". This song is truly heart wrenching and beautiful.
this songs reminds me of the day i saw my aunt when she passed away. i remember getting woke up in the middle of the night and my mom telling me we have to go. and i said why? she said your aunt just passed away she had cancer. when i arrived at city of hope i saw her laying there and i cried and nearly fell on my knees it didn't feel real. i held her hand one last time. its been a year since that day and it still haunts me. R.Ip auntie i love you ill see you when my time in this life is done.
:( so sorry. my best friend died of cancer a few years ago and I was with him at the end. This song just sums up those feelings way too accurately.
+Jack Hartzell that's really rude
you have my condolences
My condolences
No jack...what's pathetic is that you would take time out of your day just to be rude to someone you don't even know.
Breaking Benjamin always reminds me of Halo 2
blitzstrk haha
Stargate674 Wtf?
***** ?
***** Blow me away was a song done for Halo 2 by breaking benjamin
***** okay
I lost one of my best friends this song is for her
There was once a girl in school which i used to bully pretty hard. I regret it so much, i have been through shit in the last years. A few weeks ago i met her, we didnt see us for 7 years and i apologized a second time. We talked so much and now i think im in love with her....the pain is killing me BREAKING BENJAMIN THANKS
Good man to apologize to her bullying is never a good route to go. If you have feelings for this girl express them tell her how you feel!
Sounds like a silent voice story
Just curious if there’s an update? That ever go anywhere?
@@NoAssociations the world may never know hopefully it did though
I hope so much your both hopefully somewhere being happy together :)
I WILL FOREVER LOVE BREAKING BENJAMIN!!!!
Criminally underrated vocalist.
This song hits me directly in my heart every time I hear it because it makes me think of my late Paternal Grandfather.
For so many years, Grandpa never knew he even HAD a grandson thanks to the fact that his deadbeat son (my father) walked out on my mom before I was born and didn't even bother to tell his father he had a grandson. So when he finally found out the truth when my mom came home from the Army when I was about 12, he was so happy because he finally had a grandson to carry on his name.
But the day he passed just 4 years ago, I was BEYOND devastated. I felt like I was just starting to really get to know him. He was the closest thing to a father figure I had and we had really established a close bond and then he was gone. I can honestly say that I've never cried more before, during, or even after a funeral than I did when I lost him, I just refused to accept it. I was so upset and broken inside that my mother and my Paternal Grandmother were consoling me and holding me up at the funeral.
I've finally learned to move on (though it hasn't been very easy) but I still hold onto his memory very dearly and even went so far as to change my last name to his family's last name to honor his last wish of carrying on his legacy after his death.
Rips the heart right out of my frikkin rib cage - damn you Ben I don't want to feel this. But agony is essential...makes joy sweeter when we can get it.
I agree- 100%
John Shepherd You know ben?
Oh, man i wish
The strings make this song so great.
I've noticed a lot of modern rock is starting to regularly use orchestra instruments in their songs, which is great. It just fills that gap so well
+Mikayla Heiden this band did it before it was cool lol
(seriously though this album came out in 2009)
+Mikayla Heiden
correction, this band MADE it cool lol
+Mikayla Heiden
correction, this band MADE it cool lol
2009 is kinda still considered modern. And there were lots of bands using strings/orchestra in their songs before BB. Don't get me wrong, I friggin love BB... but its true lol
Welcome to the UA-cam diary comment section release all your anger and suffering while listening to this song.

Hug you:)
Beautiful Band.. Beautiful song.. Aguante Breaking Benjamin
In memory of my father..I always listen to this everytime I visit the tomb of my father..Loveu pa
He rest in peace now for sure as my father too
Those orchestra strings in this song just hit me so hard man. First time I heard this song at 14 years old, it stopped me in my tracks. It was like Ben wrote down the words that were in my heart that I couldnt get out. I have “ Sing the anthem of the angels” tattooed on my arm. In remembrance of my baby sis. Such a beautiful piece.
But I can't bring u back to life! That part made me cry
Everything about this band is just perfect!
This song's so beautiful. My mum dies just a few days ago. This song's reminds me her. I can't stay away from her... Everytime I listen to this song it's reminds me her.. Mum, stay cool, just you ever was. Rest In Peace. (20/4/2015) I love you!
Purple Guy Thank you.
+ARCrex01
Thats just cold. Preteens on the internet... Sigh
ARCrex01 Who is going to stop me, hypocrite
ARCrex01 Still won't :D
Ezio Auditore I'm sorry about your loss, may I ask how your mom died?

i played this song when my brother died R.I.P Tristan Hartford we miss you every single day.
What an amazing song it's so beautiful
Charlie gates..... it has been 8 years since I said my last goodbyes to my son. I wish I could say it gets easier. Only you can keep him alive. Inside you that is. I listen to this music very often to try and fill the void....
The song I want played at my funeral. So beautiful.
lost my mom 2 years ago..listen this song always make me cry
Rip to your mum 🙏🏽
Lost my mom 21 days ago. I feel your pain man.
Soo Jadzoh
lost someone near and dear "there is nothing left of you i can see it in your eyes sing the anthem of the angels and say the last goodbye"
Every time I hear this song I cry because I think of my dad...even though he committed suicide when I was six...while I was playing in the next room...I believe I'll see him again...that we still one more goodbye left...even though it's been almost 11 years...I still miss him...
You're dead alive- I died 13 months ago when I burried my 6 year old son. Only my heart keeps beating despite my desperation for it to stop
Be strong man. I know your kid is proud of you.l
I hope you are doing well now.. Take care please..
This is my Favorite song from them
Yes Also Me toO
I found this song a few weeks after my mother passed away here at home , It fits with everything that happend. I stayed up days and nights with my mother , We had a bed up in the living room for her , Our walls are all white and it was raining those few days. I stayed up because i just couldn't find it in myself to leave her side , She was a very strong woman because her body gave out on her. We could all see that she showed me a long time ago what to look for , When a person was getting closer to their time. She stayed with us that night until the next morning , The weirder part of it all was the days leading up to that morning. We heard my grandmother say hello to us , Freaked us both out at the time. Now my mother is gone and out of all that pain she was in , Rip mom we will always love you!
this song makes me think about a person who is beside someone in an a coma and there's no hope for them waking and living again. the extreme love that they had for each other has got this guy wanting to follow her wherever death takes them....A truly unique and beautiful song....
My close friend at school (who also happens to be my crush...) loves Breaking Benjamin, especially this song, and I loved this song the moment she showed it to me. Hence, why I listen to it so much, since it makes me think of her. I like her way more than any other crush I've ever had, which makes it even more tragic that she would never reciprocate. This is what happens when a gay potato falls for a straight girl: utter torture, wanting to tell her so badly, but she's practically your only friend, so it would be a disaster to ruin that amazing friendship over this stupid crush.
Hope you guys reading this have a magical day and hopefully never have to go through this same thing 😂😅
To be honest, there is nothing like friendship between man and women, since friendship in it's own way is some kind of love. There is no love without friendship and thus there is not friendship without love.
If You take 2 friends - the friendship bond between them, make them love each other as brothers or sisters, but if You will take friendship between man and women.. it always will fall for the same old known direction.
I had a friend, knew her for over 6 years. Our friendship started in school, we were 8 when we met first time, even tho we were living in the same small village. Since then for those 6 years we were meeting after the school and spent hour after hour
playing together, talking about our dreams, past etc. After some time, even thou I was 13, I realized that the emotion I feel towards her was something different than it was before, stronger, warmer. I realised that I have some feelings, that I love her. I never had ocasion to tell her about it, since I had to move with my parents. After all these years I still think about her, sometimes dream. I know that she felt the same way since my grandma was always sending me regards from her, telling me that she is still missing me, our talks, time spent together and feels sad without me. Later on I met her again, but she wasn't the same girl I knew and love so I just cut out that relation.
Keep in mind, it's Your life, You wont get second chance, replay possibility. It is better to destroy "friendship" and maybe gain love instead of living in pain, sorrow and agony.
May the God always bless Your ways.
@@lxdead5585 let me correct you... lucifer is love. Satan is love. Conform to the dark arts and you just might have your soul spared
@@qwertygames2339 I fuck satan in the ass. God is love and satan can't even lick his feet. My soul belongs to God, he gave it to me and he will take it back when my time will come.
Maybe you're not gay
🤷♂️
Favorite song of all time
breaking benjamin cheers me up every time
One of the best bands from my time honestly their lyrics and music takes you somewhere else so beautiful and deep
Theu deserve more recognition they are WAYYY underrated they are legendary...
One of the most important songs to me. My ex was an alcoholic and it ruined us. Thanks Ben
Man this song never gets old. Who is watching this in 2021?
I listen to breaking benjamin every morning before my day starts and his lyrics give me strength to stay clean for one more day....
3:00 onward ;( I feel like crying
Cameron Reyno literally the same exact lyrics as the rest of the song
But the way he sings it is different.
+Cameron Reyno I completely understand what you mean, same lyrics but a entirely knew set of emotions
one of my favorite songs on the Dear Agony album :)
beautiful
Same! I sing it to myself all the time
I love reading the comments as I listen to the song. Then come across a lyric someone posted as it's being sung. Love it
Thank you, Benjamin Burnley, for making me cry like a baby with your amazing songs
My favorite breaking benjamin song never gets old ❤
My version:
There is nothing left of me....
You can see it in my eyes!
I'll sing the anthem of the angels....
And say my last goodbye!
You keep holding onto me....
But you can't bring me back to life!
So sing the anthem of the angels....
Then say your last goodbye....
Reminds me so much of my dad. I'll miss him forever. "There is nothing left of you - I can see it in your eyes - Sing the anthem of the angels - And say your last goodbye..."
this song is...glorious. I have no words worthy of it tbh
