When I was little I thought monster by starset and I will not bow by Breaking Benjamin was made by the same person 😭. They have such similar voices and give me the same vibe.
Most of the time when an artist is featured it's just their vocals, not their style of music, that's added. This was a perfect mix of Starset and Breaking Benjamin. I heard both styles of music in this, it wasn't just a Starset song. An absolute masterpiece in arrangement, execution, and visuals.
Kinda helps they’ve both got a similar style, starset might sound pretty radio friendly but their guitars are down tuned as if they were a deathcore band. Really helps that arcing electricity space sound they have.
Starset fan here since the first album but damn does Ben's voice/screams really make this one stand out. Someone deserves a medal for this collaboration idea.
I've been a breaking benjamin and starset fan for years and years, and seeimg them collab together is just fucking awesome, i have no other words to describe it
Friggin RIGHT??? So many years I was just thinking, "Damn. If these two worked together, it'd be amazing," and it's tangibly better than I thought it could be.
Since when does age determine on what kind of music you can listen to? There’s 60 some year olds listening to heavy metal. You can be 105 yrs old listening to this song, nobodies telling you that you have to be a certain age to listen to any kind of music
Breaking Benjamin was one of the first rock bands I got into when I was a teenager many many years ago. And I came across Starset when they only had 2 songs . I never thought I’d imagine these two bands coming together but this is amazing!
Same here! I remember the original releases of My Demons and Carnivore, and started listening to BB around a year after the Phobia release. They've done something remarkable here.
Same here! Was so happy to find starset so early on! I remember I was so excited they dropped the whole first album to stream on their site before it even released and you bet I had ran through it so many times haha. Got a deluxe version that came with a shirt and they toured here with All that Remains shortly after that I went to. The band was standing by the front doors after handing out flyers for the band and Ron Dechant saw my shirt, looked like he was gonna shed a tear and just asked, "You came here for us?" And of course the answer was hell yes!
This is incredible. So often a “featured” artist gets a line or a background vocal. This is like BB wrote the verses and Starset wrote the hook. This is the perfect marriage of styles. 10/10, the collaboration we all needed, and we need more!
@@thyson228 this song just works so well with BB, I could honestly seem them featuring on any of the Downplay songs around Beyond The Machine to be fair and it still would be brilliant
@@thyson228 from what I've heard the song was from a (now split up) band the lead singer of starset used to be a part of, and wrote with a member of breaking Benjamin, it was destiny at that point
@@nexusthenormie5578 I know that Downplay, the band you were referring to, published the song and that Dustin probably had a big part in the writing but I never knew of the bb member being a part of the whole thing. The more you know
Starset and Breaking Benjamin collaborating on a Downplay cover, distributed by a label run by a member of Three Days Grace. All my favorite bands came together for this one song. And it’s a masterpiece.
Hey Dustin and Ben, if you are reading this, please don't stop here, go the hell on, your collaboration is something beyond words, you MUST compose more and more songs together! Thumbs up for the guys to see.
Thank you Breaking Benjamin for providing fans with this powerful and super catchy collaboration with Starset. Honestly, I had never heard of Starset before this song was released and BB brought me to find this. I've been missing out, definitely a Starset fan now too!
They put on a hell of a show. Watched them in Louisville and Evansville. A band to check out is DIVIDE THE FALL. They’re not going to stay a secret very long. Really enjoyed them in Louisville opening for Starset.
This is simply an instant masterpiece. Got to see a couple dates when they toured together and BB brought Dustin out to sing Breath and it was amazing live too. Best Friday ever!
You have no idea what this means to me. Breaking Benjamin has been my favorite band for years, they've gotten me through so much. And Starset was my late best friend's favorite band; he died in 2020 to suicide, but Starset was something he never stopped talking about. He was fascinated by space. Them collaborating to make music... i can hardly handle it. I needed it. I know he loves it too. Thank you.
This song is perfect for when you feel depressed and need to remember how to fix yourself back up and not just sit around feeling sorry for yourself, you have to make an effort to turn your life around, because as the song says “I won’t live life in the rain waiting on the sky to change”
Starset is the only band for which I’ll ever buy VIP tickets more than once. The only band who has consistently, without fail, enthralled, enticed and enchanted me with their creative way with words and sounds. Starset’s music is an intimation and symphony of clever compositions, magnetic demonstrations and penetrating narratives. I carry much love for you guys 😊 so much, in fact, that I’ve dedicated one of my own creations to you because you have been my inspiration in many things. Whatever your true message might be, know that you’ve effected at least me.
starset returning to their roots? I JUST ADORE THIS SOUND OF THEIRS. I DIDNT REALIZE HOW MUCH I MISSED THEIR OLD SOUND THAT TRANSMISSINS-ESQUE FEELING (even that noticeable nostalgic feeling of visuals) JUST OVERFLOWED ME WITH JOY. WE NEED MORE OF THIS WE NEED MORE!
I didn't think this collab could be possible, I mean what are the chances that 2 of your absolute favorite groups would do a song together? I'm speechless, such a good song on top of all that.
It's incredible how they were able to do such a perfect mash up of both Starset and Breaking Benjamin musical sound. You can listen for one and hear it, you can listen for the other and hear it, or listen to both and get a whole new yet familiar sound.
If you guys could do a whole-ass album together, that'd be real cool. Experimenting with different dynamics, songs that lean more towards Breaking Benjamin's style versus Starset's or vice-versa. Seeing Ben and Dustin collaborate and birth something truly phenomenal would be breathtaking.
I love this. This is more than the usual collab where the guest has a few parts during the chorus. This sounds like both bands had heavy influence on how the song came together and it sounds fantastic.
Just want to point out to those who don't know already. This song is originally a Downplay song off their 2011 album "Beyond the Machine". Dustin, the lead singer of Starset, was also the lead for Downplay before their end. I believe they got the rights to the song and did a re-release of "Beyond the Machine", however, "Waiting on the sky to change" is missing off the 2022 album. Bitter sweet, because the old version was a banger in its own right as well. You can still listen to the old version by Downplay on UA-cam at a lower bit rate, however.
@@cxllen9314 That's partly because it's a cover of a song from their previous band, Downplay- just like Dark On Me. I wonder if we'll get a MNQN cover in the future too!
Is this a fever dream?? Starset collabing with Breaking Benjamin is one of those things where you say "man that would be amazing if they did that", but you don't actually expect it to happen. Yet here it is; more epic than even imagined. Now it leaves me wondering... Where do I go from here; is this the pinnacle?
I absolutely love how Breaking Ben has been supporting Starset from the very beginning. I didn't know until I saw Starset, Seether and Breaking Ben in concert at the Fort Wayne Coliseum, and he talked about how he got to listen to songs from Starset before they were even released and his reaction was priceless. I won't ruin it for anyone, go find a video from one of their concers where Ben was introducing Starset. Totally awesome collab!
Wow. This song is so dynamic. I love how both leads match perfect harmony with the other. Ben is very good at taking the under tone for collaborations. This song hits so hard! You van hear very much both styles of music especially the guitars.
I discovered Starset because I attended a Breaking Benjamin concert 7-8 years ago, and Starset was one of the openers. It's great to see them collaborating all these years later!
This song was originally made by one of my favourite bands, Downplay, which disbanded and later the singer founded a new band named Starset. It was one of my favourite songs from their repertoire, so hearing it again even better than before hits in a very special way.
@@mviktor21 They mean the bottom left icon that shifts from the Starset star to the Breaking Benjamin knot as the lead singers alternate in the verses.
I had the pleasure of getting a VIP ticket to see Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Starset, and Lacey Sturm live in Cincinnati on May 11th and it was an awesome experience. The best performances were when they performed songs together. Breaking Benjamin performed Breath with Dustin Bates, Diary of Jane with Shaun Morgan, and, of course, Dear Agony with Lacey Sturm. Seether had Lacey Sturm while they were on stage performing one of her songs, and Lacey Sturm even had Starset's stunning violinists perform with her. It was great to hear these two amazing bands come together in a live performance, and it's even better to hear them together in a studio performance with a new song.
@@deathnwar4u I live in Dry Ridge, KY, about 45 minutes south of you. Well worth the drive. I got lucky and was recommended an article promoting the tour three months prior to the event and my jaw dropped seeing that lineup. I was even more surprised that they played in Cincinnati of all places. They only toured to like 13 cities in the east. I had to go. My first and probably last concert as I don't think I'll ever see a lineup that legendary ever again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to rub it in or anything. I hope they do tour again so you get a chance to see them.
@@ryanolson2308 They were great, as expected. I only wished they had played more songs off of Ember. Surprisingly, for a 90 minute performance, they only played one song off that album.
@@thejack666 the first stanza and refrain is full on starset and the second full on breaking benjamin ... they display that with the band icons in the lower left corner
For me, this song came at a perfect time in my life. For years I’ve sought out abusive relationships, but now it’s time for me to take care of myself. The sky won’t change unless I make it change or escape the storm, on my own. I’m not going searching for storms anymore, and I’m going to become whole on my own. I don’t need someone else to make me whole. I don’t need a storm to make me whole.
It's everything I hoped it would be and more!!!! Downplay's version is still amazing but the additions to the instrumentals and Ben really make this hit so much harder
my grandfather died a few weeks ago, and this song is 1 of 3 that has been helping me cope and deal with it all!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! MUCH LOVE FROM THE UK
Es una buena canción, pero lo que no me gustó fue que la voz de Benjamin Burnley (breaking Benjamin) la hayan cambiado, ni de chiste esa es sus voz. Suena mejor sin modificar
2:01 starts the best part, especially the one with violin a few seconds later. This is just golden! Found this song on Instagram ad, honestly, the best ad so far 😌💙
Guys, this song kicks SO much ass. My two favorite rock bands collaborating like this will always be something I support, and this is no exception. I could listen to a whole album of collabs from these two bands, truly spectacular!
I discovered Starset through a Breaking Benjamin concert in 2016, to see them collaborating on a song, a downplay one at that, has been nothing but a dream come true.
Breaking benjamin makes literally Heavenly music! Their literal imagery is heavenly ! Starset and Breaking Benjamin are just absolutely incredible piece of art 🥂🖤
Been waiting for Starset to collaborate with someone for a long time, this is perfect! Been following the band since they started and I love where it's going!!
Starset has collaborated with someone before this! It was in a song called "Enough" by Ra. Dustin lent some of his vocals to the song. (Also, Enough was originally supposed to be on divisions, but I believe Dustin sold it to Ra)
They actually didn't make this song! It's a cover of Downplay's track off their 2011 "Beyond the machine" album. None the less, they did a great job on the cover!
@@Vincent_007 Nah bro, not per definition. Remixed, remastered, covered and a few lyrics changed makes way for a completely new experience. It is not a release.
It's really interesting to see how music evolves. When I was younger, Breaking Benjamin was all about the journey we take through pain, love, and life. And now, with songs like this, it's like, we grew up. We grew from our pain. We made a decision that this isn't where we are going to stay. It really resonates with my life and the experiences I've had. Being stuck, so cold, and then deciding we aren't going to run towards the eye of the tornado, we are gonna walk through it instead of staying in the calm within the storm. It's beautiful.
You wrote a lot in the diary ofJane. Took the breath right out of me. Nah but fr dude I get it I was just saying this the other say. Its a perpetual feedback where we grow, and so our music grows with us. Some may think I'm talking about maturity, but no it's evolution. It's so interesting to see what it becomes as our perspectives shift and make room for more. But we will never capture it all and that's a shame.
This song is amazing, and has many ditferent interpretations. I may have missed the point entirely here, but, for me it brought me to tears when I first heard it (and still will, if I let it.) I've lived in / with an abusive family my entire life, and only recently have I been able to come out of it - to stop letting myself think the thoughts about myself put onto my head by them. I've always tried to 'put up with it' to not make more trouble for myself, and hoped that maybe, one day, they will see what they did was wrong. It has only been recently that I FINALLY came to terms with, no - they're NOT going to change or stop, because they don't think they are doing anything wrong - the way they see things, THEY are right. "I'm done waiting for the sky to change. I'm done running towards the eyes of tornadoes pretending this is home'.
The very second 0:12 hit i said to myself YES this is EXACTLY what I expected a Starset/BB crossover to sound like. it sounds so much like BOTH of them IM IN LOVE 😭😭😭
I have loved both of your groups for your unique styles and sound for several years. This is the Collab I didn't know I needed and was better than I ever imagined! You can clearly hear both styles featured in parts and also the perfect blend of them together in others. Similarly, the vocal qualities of the singers in the vocals are perfectly showcased in some parts and seamlessly blend in others. Perfection you guys. AMAZING JOB TO EVERYONE PARTICIPATING!
I literally got CHILLS My mom got me into BB when I was younger and I got her into Starset when I got older. She passed away last year but I know for a fact she'd be rocking so hard to this song!!!! I got goosebumps 😭💕
@@Wintermelin Keep pushing through it! I understand it's hard and you miss her everyday. Losing a loved one is never easy but there's nothing you can do except for moving forward. You should try and find some new hobbies or things that make you happy. I am sure your mum is proud of you :). Also remember to talk to someone you trust when you feel sad and don't bottle up too much emotions. If you wanna cry, let it out, you will feel better, crying doesn't mean you're weak, it means you've been strong for too long. Remember to take care of yourself. I wish you the best of luck in your life!
I'm so sorry for your loss but hey y'all had a great bond and great memories remember that don't focus on the worst part think of the great memories and moments you had together 😸
This was something I could've never imagined happening, and now that it did, I can't think of anything else. Two of my favorite bands making a masterpiece together. What a song!
Aside from an incredible sound and a video to match, lyrically this song is amazing. For me it's like someone that can see the direction in which the world is heading, and at times it can feel overwhelming, and the situation helpless. At times it's difficult to just live life when they are so awake to the turmoil that lies ahead. They have lived this way for a long time. They then reach a turning point where they refuse to continue living angry and anxious about that which they can't change, instead choosing to live a life of faith in something bigger. A true anthem of the awakened or anyone dealing with anything that seems insurmountable.
You said it man, Faith. So important to keep at the forefront of all else and in clear view. It's too often confused with hope, which in small doses can be healthy. But once those lines blur until they mesh into a carefree optimism there's no center to balance yourself onto, you lose control, the further you slip the more disoriented you become, the more you try to fill false voids and gain control over things you can't and before you know it you're left with nothing to lean on but fear. I learned that one the hard way more times that I'd like to admit, likely will again
These two bands have something extremely special together. I hope they're both having fun, love each other, love music and continue to collaborate as long as time allows them to.,
I've been telling my friends for years that a Collab between starset and breaking Benjamin would be amazing and I was absolutely correct. This is phenomenal.
My first concert that I paid for in 2016 I came in 9 hours early Starset and Breaking Benjamin best concert ever, unforgettable. After that I went to 4 other Breaking Benjamin concerts I met Ben at the SF concert with Red he is so awesome and humble he even let me take a picture with him my life long forever band! I will play their music at my wedding!
Tem um show que eles cantam juntos e incrivel nossa ouvir a voz do Ben sempre arrepia da vontade de ouvir mais sigo desde a escola escutando e sempre vem o mesmo sentimento ❤
No one can break Ben, rock on, still hitting hard and now collabing with starset. This is such an amazing blend of the two bands, they understood the assignment.
i can feel myself from 6 years ago screaming in joy rn ,, have been listening to both starset and breaking benjamin since i was 13 and im almost 20 now , and this has just made my entire life worth it
I just heard this song on the radio today for the first time. It's really dope. I searched Google using one line from the song and it brought me here. This song is pretty dope. Thank you.
This thing is beautiful, the fact that you got Breaking Benjamin in this song is amazing, and he didn't do only like 10% of the song, it was actually like 50% and it just turned out beautifully.
Esta parte de mi vida, esta pequeña parte, se llama FELICIDAD! Dos de mis tres bandas favoritas de todos los tiempos, en una colaboración legendaria! ❤️❤️🇩🇴
Thanks for having me on drums on this track boys 🤝
U killed it
Awesome job bro, great song
Phenomenal job my guy
you are literally the best
Keep going legend
Fun fact: a lot of breaking benjamin fans are also starset fans. We highly recommend much more collabs
Their music have kinda the same vibe to me 🫣
I found Starset during a Breaking Benjamin. I would say the voices are quite different, but their music is very similar.
Saw starset open for breaking Benjamin a couple years ago in Cincinnati, great show
You got that right
When I was little I thought monster by starset and I will not bow by Breaking Benjamin was made by the same person 😭. They have such similar voices and give me the same vibe.
A full album with these two would be pretty damn perfect.
I would love that.
Yeah like light the torch and killswitch engage
We need this
so damm ok with you
@@superheracross89 Now imagine BB and KSE, actually scratch that not a big fan KSE new sound.
Ben's voice has aged like fine wine, love it.
Yuppp
Most of the time when an artist is featured it's just their vocals, not their style of music, that's added. This was a perfect mix of Starset and Breaking Benjamin. I heard both styles of music in this, it wasn't just a Starset song. An absolute masterpiece in arrangement, execution, and visuals.
I said the same thing to my sister earlier. I've been passing around this song like an STD, and I want to infect EVERYONE. 😬
Kinda helps they’ve both got a similar style, starset might sound pretty radio friendly but their guitars are down tuned as if they were a deathcore band. Really helps that arcing electricity space sound they have.
Just an absolute triumph of a song. Holy shit.
The lyrics as well.
What are you talking about you absolute nut 😭 this song was written 11 years ago without any involvement of Breaking Benjamin
When your childhood band and favourite band both finally collab, you become whole again
FACTS, i adore both these bands and this makes me SO fucking happy, especially cuz this will give Starset some much needed publicity
Frfr
Lol yes
FUNNY
Which is your childhood band and which is your favorite?
Starset fan here since the first album but damn does Ben's voice/screams really make this one stand out. Someone deserves a medal for this collaboration idea.

27-me here, even my chair and keyboard got goose bumps still. Starset is such an inspiration after all these years since i first heard "My Demons".
27 and still banging to BB

also a Project Vela fan? you rule mate
Ben's voice goes surprisingly well with starset's musical style. Just how wide is this man's vocal range!?
I forgot both of these bands existed. Listening to this takes me back in time to a better time.
Ben is the greatest.
@Average MC player • 1B years ago I don't agree. Ben's voice is lower and beefier by far
I think Dustin is trying to replicate Ben more so in this. If you listen to the original it's not like this. Amazing regardless.
@@TheDustinW Ill have to trust u on that I can't find the original

I second that motion let's take it step further and have there bands combine for a whole album by Breaking Starset lol
Now we just need to see Breaking Benjamin ft. Starset ;)
This is actually an old song from Downplay, Dustin's old band. But revamped and literally transcended to the standards worthy of the gods of Alt/Metal
I agree Dimitry🌠
yes yes yes omg
Thank you Breaking Benjamin for providing fans with this powerful and super catchy collaboration with Starset. Honestly, I had never heard of Starset before this song was released and BB brought me to find this. I've been missing out, definitely a Starset fan now too!

This is simply an instant masterpiece. Got to see a couple dates when they toured together and BB brought Dustin out to sing Breath and it was amazing live too. Best Friday ever!
They NEED to tour together again
They didn't do that at the show I went to. Was still an amazing show tho.
That's a true masterpiece, i need Chester Bennington to come back to life and sing it with them...RIP Chester.
It would have been awsome...
Bro…..if that were to ever happen this would be the greatest song ever made
Hell fudging YEAH !!!!!!!
BECOME WHOLE AGAINNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have no idea what this means to me. Breaking Benjamin has been my favorite band for years, they've gotten me through so much. And Starset was my late best friend's favorite band; he died in 2020 to suicide, but Starset was something he never stopped talking about. He was fascinated by space.
Them collaborating to make music... i can hardly handle it. I needed it.

I'm sorry for your loss, lad.
Ok, this masterpiece NEEDS an official video with Dustin and Ben singing together...who else is with me??
Hell yess! 🤘🤘

im with yah
I was just about to write the same comment lol 🤘
hell yesss
This song is perfect for when you feel depressed and need to remember how to fix yourself back up and not just sit around feeling sorry for yourself, you have to make an effort to turn your life around, because as the song says “I won’t live life in the rain waiting on the sky to change”
Doing it right now. I can be better for me and my family.
Thank you for this comment my friend. It really hit home today as I was listening to this song, just thinking the same thing to myself.
Yup that's true👍
Yep ❤🎉
2:02 whoever thought to add that pause for the violin to come in before the chorus is a genius
Starset + Breaking Benjamin = Eargasm
i agree
definitely, two favorite bands together! Skillet is still missing
“Seen/Unseen” by SLT ……………

. . . do it 🤘

. . . and thank me later 🎸🙏🎶!!!!!!
The harmony at the end is eargasmic. Dustin and Ben’s vocals go so well together
At 2:50 Ben’s note at the end of “rising” unff chefs kiss
Starset is the only band for which I’ll ever buy VIP tickets more than once. The only band who has consistently, without fail, enthralled, enticed and enchanted me with their creative way with words and sounds.
Starset’s music is an intimation and symphony of clever compositions, magnetic demonstrations and penetrating narratives.
I carry much love for you guys 😊 so much, in fact, that I’ve dedicated one of my own creations to you because you have been my inspiration in many things.
Whatever your true message might be, know that you’ve effected at least me.
Yes!

I believe both of Starset and Breaking Benjamin would love to collaborate together in the near future for their album
Из РОССИИ с любовью
Starset never fails to impress but this song is on another level. The intermingling of Dustin's and Ben's vocals gave me goosebumps. So good!
When we see Breaking Benjamin we literally know that is going to be hella marvelous.

well this is a remake from one of Downplay's last songs (which Dustin technically owned) so that might explains it

Yes, but the original version was already a collaboration. Dustin wrote it with Jasin of Breaking Benjamin.
or just find a rip of the cd off the internet, the version on youtube isnt giving the artists revenue.
I didn’t know that, but awesome, love that scene back then from Pamaj’s videos if you know them. Downplay, down In ashes, cartel
Didn't know any of that. Thanks for the fan research!
Downplay version: ua-cam.com/video/GHsVJlCoSpM/v-deo.html
It's impossible to hate a Starset song. Every single one of Starset's songs never disappointed me.
This song is outstanding good even for Starset standards
@@cxllen9314 That's partly because it's a cover of a song from their previous band, Downplay- just like Dark On Me.
I wonder if we'll get a MNQN cover in the future too!
Not true. Horizon is meh.
@@longdashes excuse me??
@@longdashes honestly agreed
IVE BEEN WANTING A COLLAB WITH THESE 2 BANDS FOR SO LONG, FINALLY!
All we need now is the holy trinity super band: Starset, Breaking Benjamin, and RED.
We're so close.
@@ScamwatchDallin I thought I was the only one! I just saw Red and Starset on tour together, my third time seeing both. It was AMAZING
@@ScamwatchDallin I never considred this but yes!!
@@jennyjohnson4994 I envy you. They came to my town but I was too busy to see the show. That sounds like an amazing set.
BB is the best 🤘 But you have to hear “ Whispering Wolf “ by SLT … right away 🎧🐺🎧!!! U R Missing Out !!! !!! !!!
Is this a fever dream?? Starset collabing with Breaking Benjamin is one of those things where you say "man that would be amazing if they did that", but you don't actually expect it to happen. Yet here it is; more epic than even imagined. Now it leaves me wondering... Where do I go from here; is this the pinnacle?
I absolutely love how Breaking Ben has been supporting Starset from the very beginning. I didn't know until I saw Starset, Seether and Breaking Ben in concert at the Fort Wayne Coliseum, and he talked about how he got to listen to songs from Starset before they were even released and his reaction was priceless. I won't ruin it for anyone, go find a video from one of their concers where Ben was introducing Starset. Totally awesome collab!
I've been listening to Starset since high school and now I'm about to turn 24. It's been amazing seeing their development.
Wow. This song is so dynamic. I love how both leads match perfect harmony with the other. Ben is very good at taking the under tone for collaborations. This song hits so hard! You van hear very much both styles of music especially the guitars.
I discovered Starset because I attended a Breaking Benjamin concert 7-8 years ago, and Starset was one of the openers. It's great to see them collaborating all these years later!
This song was originally made by one of my favourite bands, Downplay, which disbanded and later the singer founded a new band named Starset.
It was one of my favourite songs from their repertoire, so hearing it again even better than before hits in a very special way.
I love downplay
I didn't know that history. I loved Downplay in my youth.
That was incredible!!! Breaking Benjamin and Starset, the world needs more
I love that when Dustin and Benjamin are singing together and their band's logo starts to change from one to another
If u mean Dark Before Dawn album artwork, that's not BB logo, not even a Black Hole but I get the point. This collab is awesome!
He means the bottom-left corner of the video. It shows the band’s symbol for who is singing, and they merge with static when they are both singing.
No, the bands logos next to the lyrics at the bottom of the screen change with whoever is doing the vocals
@@mviktor21 They mean the bottom left icon that shifts from the Starset star to the Breaking Benjamin knot as the lead singers alternate in the verses.
@@mviktor21 Pay attention to the video lmao.
I had the pleasure of getting a VIP ticket to see Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Starset, and Lacey Sturm live in Cincinnati on May 11th and it was an awesome experience. The best performances were when they performed songs together. Breaking Benjamin performed Breath with Dustin Bates, Diary of Jane with Shaun Morgan, and, of course, Dear Agony with Lacey Sturm. Seether had Lacey Sturm while they were on stage performing one of her songs, and Lacey Sturm even had Starset's stunning violinists perform with her. It was great to hear these two amazing bands come together in a live performance, and it's even better to hear them together in a studio performance with a new song.
That's legendary. I can't believe I missed this. Especially since I live in Cincinnati, Ohio.
@@deathnwar4u I live in Dry Ridge, KY, about 45 minutes south of you. Well worth the drive. I got lucky and was recommended an article promoting the tour three months prior to the event and my jaw dropped seeing that lineup. I was even more surprised that they played in Cincinnati of all places. They only toured to like 13 cities in the east. I had to go. My first and probably last concert as I don't think I'll ever see a lineup that legendary ever again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to rub it in or anything. I hope they do tour again so you get a chance to see them.
Very jealous. How was Breaking Benjamin live?
@@ryanolson2308 They were great, as expected. I only wished they had played more songs off of Ember. Surprisingly, for a 90 minute performance, they only played one song off that album.
Saw them a few days later in Birmingham,AL. It was pretty awesome. They pretty much stuck to the classics
The best metal is never played on the radio.
True
I actually found this song on the radio
Jam88.3 - this is where i first heard this song on radio channel
i found this on the radio Q106 a rock station here in MIchigan when i was working at a gas station last year
1:18 is absolute madness when Ben's voice suddenly carries over the last line.
Like an elder brother unleashing it's power to support it's sibling.
Ah, that's been my favourite part of this song, how well their voices carry together. Especially between 0:40 - 0:55
@@thejack666 the first stanza and refrain is full on starset and the second full on breaking benjamin ... they display that with the band icons in the lower left corner
@@thefench1 right? These guys are so confused. Lol
@@ShivamSharma-rq9ne fr
Legendary Ben 🖤😎
For me, this song came at a perfect time in my life. For years I’ve sought out abusive relationships, but now it’s time for me to take care of myself. The sky won’t change unless I make it change or escape the storm, on my own. I’m not going searching for storms anymore, and I’m going to become whole on my own. I don’t need someone else to make me whole. I don’t need a storm to make me whole.
It's everything I hoped it would be and more!!!! Downplay's version is still amazing but the additions to the instrumentals and Ben really make this hit so much harder
Breaking Benjamin and starset is a combination I never knew I needed
my grandfather died a few weeks ago, and this song is 1 of 3 that has been helping me cope and deal with it all!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! MUCH LOVE FROM THE UK
Still can't stop listening to this song. It was made by both of my favorite artists after all.
starset never disappoints, the collaboration was perfect and the song just beautiful, thanks for giving us a new song ❤️❤️🇲🇽
Not a new song, just a really good cover of an oldie but a goodie! Check out the original by Downplay if you haven't already!
It did disappoint me
@@Bizartspirit too bad, you're probly not even a starset fan if you don't like this so you have no reason to comment.
Es una buena canción, pero lo que no me gustó fue que la voz de Benjamin Burnley (breaking Benjamin) la hayan cambiado, ni de chiste esa es sus voz. Suena mejor sin modificar
2:01 starts the best part, especially the one with violin a few seconds later. This is just golden!
Found this song on Instagram ad, honestly, the best ad so far 😌💙
I started crying as soon as I heard Ben singing, he sang my favorite verse out of the whole song that made me so happy!
I didn't even realize when it switched to Ben at first! Their voices just fit perfectly to each other!
Guys, this song kicks SO much ass. My two favorite rock bands collaborating like this will always be something I support, and this is no exception. I could listen to a whole album of collabs from these two bands, truly spectacular!
Has To Be The Best Collab Ever, Band's Like This Should Come Together To Create Greatness.
I discovered Starset through a Breaking Benjamin concert in 2016, to see them collaborating on a song, a downplay one at that, has been nothing but a dream come true.
Breaking benjamin makes literally Heavenly music! Their literal imagery is heavenly ! Starset and Breaking Benjamin are just absolutely incredible piece of art 🥂🖤
Been waiting for Starset to collaborate with someone for a long time, this is perfect! Been following the band since they started and I love where it's going!!
Starset has collaborated with someone before this! It was in a song called "Enough" by Ra. Dustin lent some of his vocals to the song. (Also, Enough was originally supposed to be on divisions, but I believe Dustin sold it to Ra)
@@GoldfaceOfficial Oh, I didn't know that, thanks!
@@Rubix9006 no problem! I'm always for more starset!
Starset x Red needs to happen next!
@@Jozombies115 Dustin has helped write two of RED's songs. They are A.I. and Losing Control! Although a full-on collaboration has not happened yet.
1:56 I am obsessed with the way Ben growls this part.
The moment we've been all waiting for
I agree
No but literally
1,000 people 11 min before start wow
5 mins left😎
Actually that’s when Jesus comes back apparently but this might be close enough LOL
Starset always gets a like before I even listen to their songs that's how confident in these guys I am cause I know they can never make a bad song. 🤘🏻
Hell yess 🤘🤘
honestly. I have yet to find anything less than great when it comes to both bands.
same i didnt have time to listen to this but added it to most of my playlist without listening anyway
Yes yes yes
They actually didn't make this song! It's a cover of Downplay's track off their 2011 "Beyond the machine" album. None the less, they did a great job on the cover!
You guys never fail to make my heart pound so fucking hard every time you release anything new. Love yall.
Its an old song
@@Vincent_007 Nah bro, not per definition.
Remixed, remastered, covered and a few lyrics changed makes way for a completely new experience.
It is not a release.
This has got to be one of the best collaborations there is cause like the best just goes perfect with these 2 bands
It's really interesting to see how music evolves. When I was younger, Breaking Benjamin was all about the journey we take through pain, love, and life. And now, with songs like this, it's like, we grew up. We grew from our pain. We made a decision that this isn't where we are going to stay.
It really resonates with my life and the experiences I've had. Being stuck, so cold, and then deciding we aren't going to run towards the eye of the tornado, we are gonna walk through it instead of staying in the calm within the storm.
It's beautiful.
You wrote a lot in the diary ofJane. Took the breath right out of me. Nah but fr dude I get it I was just saying this the other say. Its a perpetual feedback where we grow, and so our music grows with us. Some may think I'm talking about maturity, but no it's evolution. It's so interesting to see what it becomes as our perspectives shift and make room for more. But we will never capture it all and that's a shame.
Thak y97 s9 m7cy
thank ou so muc
Ben sounded so good here!
The melodies between Him and Dustin Are just amazing.
Amazing song overall! Time to put it on repeat-
I can't imagine how Dustin must've felt finally collabing with his idol. Two of modern rock's greatest acts coming together like this is surreal.
This song is amazing, and has many ditferent interpretations.
I may have missed the point entirely here, but, for me it brought me to tears when I first heard it (and still will, if I let it.)
I've lived in / with an abusive family my entire life, and only recently have I been able to come out of it - to stop letting myself think the thoughts about myself put onto my head by them.
I've always tried to 'put up with it' to not make more trouble for myself, and hoped that maybe, one day, they will see what they did was wrong.
It has only been recently that I FINALLY came to terms with, no - they're NOT going to change or stop, because they don't think they are doing anything wrong - the way they see things, THEY are right.
"I'm done waiting for the sky to change. I'm done running towards the eyes of tornadoes pretending this is home'.
Finally happy BB is putting out some new music. They’re up there with the greatest rock bands to ever exist.
I'm happy both because i love both bands and because my fears of BB breaking up were unfounded
BB is the best 🤘 But you have to hear “ Whispering Wolf “ by SLT … right away 🎧🐺🎧!!! U R Missing Out !!! 🎸🥁🎸
The very second 0:12 hit i said to myself YES this is EXACTLY what I expected a Starset/BB crossover to sound like. it sounds so much like BOTH of them IM IN LOVE 😭😭😭
This song gives me so much hope. I love Breaking Benjamin and Starset. Perfect music and lyrics.
I have loved both of your groups for your unique styles and sound for several years. This is the Collab I didn't know I needed and was better than I ever imagined! You can clearly hear both styles featured in parts and also the perfect blend of them together in others. Similarly, the vocal qualities of the singers in the vocals are perfectly showcased in some parts and seamlessly blend in others. Perfection you guys. AMAZING JOB TO EVERYONE PARTICIPATING!

I literally got CHILLS
My mom got me into BB when I was younger and I got her into Starset when I got older. She passed away last year but I know for a fact she'd be rocking so hard to this song!!!! I got goosebumps 😭💕
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear, how are you doing now?
@@parkourandfreerunning4214 It's rough everyday but I know that she would have loved this song and that makes me love it even more
@@Wintermelin Keep pushing through it! I understand it's hard and you miss her everyday. Losing a loved one is never easy but there's nothing you can do except for moving forward. You should try and find some new hobbies or things that make you happy. I am sure your mum is proud of you :). Also remember to talk to someone you trust when you feel sad and don't bottle up too much emotions. If you wanna cry, let it out, you will feel better, crying doesn't mean you're weak, it means you've been strong for too long. Remember to take care of yourself. I wish you the best of luck in your life!
Sorry for your loss, man... Though I think it's great that you had the chance to bond with her through something you both liked 🤘
I'm so sorry for your loss but hey y'all had a great bond and great memories remember that don't focus on the worst part think of the great memories and moments you had together 😸
*Ethereal* is the way I describe Starset's music, something about it just feels like it's from another dimension. (ties perfectly into the lore)
honestly, accurate statement, like really accurate.
Interstellar and Twilight Zone/Black Mirror made Manifest!
My brother was a big fan of star set and b.b he would have loved this song rip brother I’ll listen for the both of us
How have i never seen this? Breaking Ben is my favorite band of all time, so many bangers they're impeccable
Every time I think that Starset cannot possibly do anything to make me an even bigger fan, they go and do something like this.
No shit, right?
I'm a fan of both bands, and this made me fucking geek out so damn hard

This was something I could've never imagined happening, and now that it did, I can't think of anything else. Two of my favorite bands making a masterpiece together. What a song!
YEEEAAAAHHH BOY THESE BANDS WORK SO WELL TOGETHER
Aside from an incredible sound and a video to match, lyrically this song is amazing. For me it's like someone that can see the direction in which the world is heading, and at times it can feel overwhelming, and the situation helpless. At times it's difficult to just live life when they are so awake to the turmoil that lies ahead. They have lived this way for a long time. They then reach a turning point where they refuse to continue living angry and anxious about that which they can't change, instead choosing to live a life of faith in something bigger. A true anthem of the awakened or anyone dealing with anything that seems insurmountable.
You said it man, Faith. So important to keep at the forefront of all else and in clear view. It's too often confused with hope, which in small doses can be healthy. But once those lines blur until they mesh into a carefree optimism there's no center to balance yourself onto, you lose control, the further you slip the more disoriented you become, the more you try to fill false voids and gain control over things you can't and before you know it you're left with nothing to lean on but fear. I learned that one the hard way more times that I'd like to admit, likely will again
These two bands have something extremely special together. I hope they're both having fun, love each other, love music and continue to collaborate as long as time allows them to.,
I've been telling my friends for years that a Collab between starset and breaking Benjamin would be amazing and I was absolutely correct. This is phenomenal.
0:45
I absolutely love that part. This song has been stuck in my head the day I heard it🤍
🎸 BB is the best 🤘 But you have to hear “ Whispering Wolf “ by SLT … right away 🐺 !!! U R Missing Out !!! 🎧 !!!
My first concert that I paid for in 2016 I came in 9 hours early Starset and Breaking Benjamin best concert ever, unforgettable. After that I went to 4 other Breaking Benjamin concerts I met Ben at the SF concert with Red he is so awesome and humble he even let me take a picture with him my life long forever band! I will play their music at my wedding!
Achei que Breaking Benjamin e Starset só existiam juntos na minha playlist. Que isso um sonho??
Tem um show que eles cantam juntos e incrivel nossa ouvir a voz do Ben sempre arrepia da vontade de ouvir mais sigo desde a escola escutando e sempre vem o mesmo sentimento ❤
Starset, Breaking Benjamin e Red são minhas bandas favoritas e poder apreciar aos três juntos era meu sonho e virou realidade!
pois é, nosso sonho se tornou realidade kkkkkk
Jajaja si, jamas imagine que mi cantante favorito colaborara con Starset, se siente raro.
se for sonho estamos juntos, já escutei umas mil vezes.
The amount of times I’ve listened to this over the past 24 hours. Truly a great collaboration between two of my favorite bands. Keep it up guys!
No one can break Ben, rock on, still hitting hard and now collabing with starset. This is such an amazing blend of the two bands, they understood the assignment.
Starset and breaking Benjamin!!!!!! Legends collides omg guys you arr amazing
i can feel myself from 6 years ago screaming in joy rn ,, have been listening to both starset and breaking benjamin since i was 13 and im almost 20 now , and this has just made my entire life worth it
Same here my guy, the fucking edgy child in me is so happy
Its times like this that make me think of what could've been with starset and Chester Bennington, RIP
3:05 The best drop of the history
This has to make radio waves. So epic!
This is beautiful, i've heard it 17 times in a row and still going strong.
Starset is always great, I’m expecting a masterpiece
It is definitely a masterpiece I heard it early and its a BANGER
welp you were right lad xD
And a masterpiece is exactly wut u just got. Wow 😳
Masterpiece doesn’t even begin to explain it.
That's exactly the first word that came to my mind after listening to it. Masterpiece.
I just heard this song on the radio today for the first time. It's really dope. I searched Google using one line from the song and it brought me here.
This song is pretty dope. Thank you.
This thing is beautiful, the fact that you got Breaking Benjamin in this song is amazing, and he didn't do only like 10% of the song, it was actually like 50% and it just turned out beautifully.
I have never had a favorite song in 17 and half years until now well-fucking-done Dustin, Ben, and Band.
🎸 BB is the best 🤘 But you have to hear “ Whispering Wolf “ by SLT … right away 🐺 !!! U R Missing Out !!! 🎧 …
