Fills my heart up :]
Almost to 100,000 views on this crazy video. Still amazed at all the love and attention this cover has produced. Thanks so much to everyone! Be Blessed! Happy New Years! Have a great year of 2016.
12 years after hearing this cover version of Dear Agony the first time ..when good friends broke up with me caused by my Depression and brain damage that lets me pass out and suffering in seizures everyday .. .until today..that song still exists.Now the things got more worse than before and i think its no coincidence that i found that video again ..ready for fighting more than before..Thank you for that awesome cover🫡
Oh my God. My friend put this song on my MP3 and I instantly fell in love with it. I had never even heard the original version, and this song helped me through a lot of hard times. Thank you SO much for this cover. In my mind, it I'd just as good as the original and that's coming from a die hard BB fan. You're amazing. End of story.
Eli, this is more than a cover. This is art, one of my favorite songs completely made into a calm, beautiful, skin tickling, hair standing up on the back of my neck piece of music.
Over 2 years ago I listened to this song in a very dark part of my life, now here I am in 2014 and I have found it in my favorites. I just wanna say how much this brings me back, Thank you so much for doing this cover, you'll never understand how much this youtube video means to me.
OC, that is basically the EXACT same thing that happened to me. I came here today to remember this amazing cover. I can't even express how much I love this cover.
Totally strange to ask can I ask what was happening in your life at the time? As I have just split with my gf of 7years and I am considering suicide. My mum has also been diagnosed with cancer and I feel like everything is falling apart. Jiwndidnylu get through it?
Ever since I found this song, I've actually found this cover useful during my high school exams, so when coming back to this song it gave me memories of the time I've had fun in high school, you have such a beautiful voice,
Hey In my opinion this music really bring hope to many people even in their darkest hours so I just wanna say thanks you for making just beautiful music for all to enjoy sometimes in my darkest hours your Music is the only one I can truely listen to and because of you I now share my musical voice to those who are in their darkest hours so they may see the light that you bring so thank you for all you've done your have a true angels voice
this is incredible. i was having a terrible day... I am 22 now and back when I was 17 this album of BB meant a whole lot to me... I googled this song to hear, and I broke down crying when I heard your cover..it was so beautiful and soft...so true to the vibes inside me and the vibe i wanted to feel... thank you for covering it so beautifully
wonderful, completely wonderful. I say if music can make you cry, its good, if the voice can make you remember, its great. There is a difference between a bunch of words and a voice that puts them to good. Your voice set me to tears in seconds.
haha. the verses where beautiful. and the extention with the piano and ensemble where so lovely. and quite honestly. a tear slid down my cheek when i heard the chorus. haha. well done. made a dude cry.
All I have to say is, you are truly dedicated to the fans you have if you recorded this during the flu.. I applaud you, sir.. Keep on and one day i'm sure you'll get there.. I found this last year and I still listen to it.. Please, keep on..
I can't listen to this song without thinking about the tragedy from Colectiv, Romania. 30 oct. 2015. I think it contains the best words that can explain all the feelings of the victims. I am sorry if i associate this with that moment but it makes me cry every time i listen to your cover. You are amazing. ❤
I heard your cover once,but was otherwise engaged in other things so I lost it.Tonight I was listening to the original and you popped up again in my head,thought I would search for your cover...So,I'm here and I must say,hauntingly captures the turmoil and agony of the lyrics.Great job,after all these years
i hated covers a long time ago, thought they were a total waste, but i found ur covers of breaking benjamin and i finally found a reason to like covers
Eli Van Fleet Haha well I guess there IS no excuse. I have always been in love with music. I graduated from HS with a small music scholarship but when that only covered one year, I had to work for my own tuition. I joined the Air Force because I dropped out of college. I wouldn't even know where to begin recording my own stuff.
Im still listen this, and i still cry a lot. I knew the channel when it was called "Eli Van Fleet" and its been a few years. I just know that you have a beautiful voice:')
I love Benjamin, but you have taken this song to a new level. I was in tears the whole damn song. My hats off to you!! Ty so much for sharing this with the world.
So beautiful. This is probably the best Breaking Benjamin cover I've ever heard. Superb performance! It's perfectly balanced, with passionate vocals that bring the song to life. Thumbs up! Looking forward for more.
awesome! i was looking for a nice acoustic version to get an idea and loved this one! just downloaded it and practicing for my performance! its gonna be like this but acapella :) nice job!:D
wow this song is just....wow i loved the originall version but this just tugged at my soul...almost brings me to tears. i only wish their was a way to expres how i feel but all ill say is....thank you
By far the best cover I've ever heard for this song, ever. I see that most of your covers are of Breaking Benjamin. You ever think about doing one or two of So Cold?
First time hearing this and I just wanna say this is so beautiful better than the original hope you continue your work you have a gift that's one of a kind
Hi, Elisha. I just want to tell you that I love your voice. You're so talented. I have this song and the remix version but in female on my phone. Both versions are in my favorite songs playlist. This "Dear Agony" version is ever, ever the first one I put to hear. Or the last one before to sleep, because is my favorite song. It's very emotional. The strong of your sing makes that I can get into the song. Tears on my face. The piano key that sounds exactly in 4:48 sounds like something missing away for one second. And 5:00 - 5:35 it's a masterpiece! The beginning makes me smile and feel the happiest person every single time I hear it. It's just... beautiful. Elisha, thanks for your music. For this masterpiece. It's like a caress to the heart. Keep making. I really love you! Greetings from Argentina! Sorry my english.
HardyPunk98 Thanks so much for listening! I appreciate your comment very much! One day I'm going to really redo this song and make it extra amazing. Maybe even 10 minutes long ;)
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was crying cause it's so beautiful! Thank you for doing a slower and more emotional version of this great song! :)
Thanks for this cover men so appreciate it...your awesome...tears my heart apart and makes me cry....my gf and I broke up and she's my AGONY...hope can overcome...but shit really love this song....especially this cover of yours..
Hey Van~your cover really makes me have a different feeling from the original version. Hope you can do more covers like this. You can try Avenge Sevenfold too. Thanks for such beautiful song
I have to say...I didnt come here expecting this to be good. Breaking Benjamin is one of my all time favorite bands and I must say I genuinely love what you've done with this..excellent
12 years later and I still come back. Damn dude, you did this song so much justice.
Thank you so much for listening!
