It's kind of strange how I've in another video how Nirvana doing this caught on and changed rock vocals enough to make ppl crave the more showy pop vocals like during the early years of 'American idol' but (an opinion of 'the samurai guitarist) ppl got tired of that which led to the more mumblecore stuff of the past several years which imo accommodates for more mellow acoustics and not only b/c 'the current public health scene' pressing for lower production values ;I
Truly one of the most unique voices in the past decade or so of music. They played in the first concert I ever went to and So Cold was the first song they played. I'll never forget it. Thank you.
Lee The Flea The funny thing, is I got to experience two concerts back to back, and they were the only two I've ever been to. Two hugely different experiences. Plugged up, and unplugged. So Cold was the first song they played at the concert as well... That was the day I learned that I love Breaking Benjamin
this version is good but there's another version I prefer. It's in front of a crowd and his voice sounds better, i think it was a bonus on phobia? have a look around but both are excellent and worth the time to seek out
That tells you how incredibly talented Ben is and the band is really his own and he ran the show. People don’t realize, before he fired the original members and brought in a new team, he did everything. He was the only one that sang, and wrote all the music. It’s why during their live performances they had to do a vocal track cause Ben can’t do it all on his own. But now with the new band, they have a screamer, and another vocalist to help Ben, so all vocals are live now. Plus the new band writes music too and helps Ben write their new songs. Truly amazing how talented Ben really is and how long he was able to do everything on his own like that.
Hell Yeah... This acoustic AOL session Was recorded on my birthday in 2005, and I sing this song for my two brothers and my cousin, who are gone but not forgotten...!!!! I saw these guys with Seether and Three Days Grace, & that was a GREAT concert..!!!
For all the middle to elder millennials...this was recorded when AOL still had market share. I mean, it's a fucking banger. Acoustic or otherwise, Breaking Benjamin is incredible. Especially with this song. But does this not take you back? All of the other comments are nine years old. Lets see how this one does.
When he sings show me how defenseless you really are towards the end it's mildly different and I love it I thought their was a version we're he sang or that everytime
So Cold by #BreakingBenyamin *Crowded streets all cleared away* *One by one* *Hollow heroes separate* *As they run* *You're so cold* *Keep your hand in mine* *Wise men wonder while* *Strong men die* *Show me how it ends* *It's alright* *Show me how defenceless* *You really are* *Satisfied and empty inside* *That's alright* *Let's give this another try* *If you find your family* *Don't you cry* *In this land of make believe* *Dead and dry* *You're so cold* *But you feel alive* *Lay your hands on me* *One last time* *Show me how it ends* *It's alright* *Show me how defenceless* *You really are* *Satisfied and empty inside* *That's alright* *Let's give this another try* *Show me how it ends* *It's alright* *Show me how defenceless* *You really are* *Satisfied and empty inside* *That's alright* *Let's give this another try* *It's alright* *It's alright* *It's alright* *It's alright* *It's alright* *It's alright* *It's alright* *It's alright* *It's alright* TBJ~CDR, Bali2020 😈💚
met them on my bday. won tickets thru the radio cuz i was poor as hell. nice to see real people. seen them once in their early day too when they were nobody’s. met both bands and both were awesome guys. ben and his family are awesome. wish them the best as people.
I relapsed the other day. I had a 3 or 4 day binge of alcohol use, and was drinking pretty heavy, after being clean a good while and feel like this :(... I stayed clean since July 3Ist, 2021 and just had turned 28 a few weeks before July 31st of 2021. I really don't know why I did all that. I just don't understand why I do this to myself. I know, I can't live like this forever, and I'm still young. I hope to stay clean and I'm gonna keep fighting, I'm not gonna give up, I've came too far to give up now... To anyone out their trying to get clean or wanting to get clean and stay clean. Please don't give up. Theirs many of us out their that are addicts, I'm sure but if you want to get clean and stay clean, don't give up. Sometimes I feel like all I can do is take things one day at a time. I've fought this addiction to alcohol, for years now really, and over came a year of pill abuse. And tried meth, and cocaine and other drugs I won't go into. One things always seemed hard for me to fight and stay clean from is Alcohol. Sometimes I wonder if I'll make it. I'm gonna keep going though. I have to keep going, cause "that's ok, we'll give this one more try" as he says in the song.
Bro...yes, you may still be young but as a 50 yo recovered alcoholic I'm here to tell you that you won't be young forever - 10 years and then 20 will get behind you before you can even blink an eye...your entire youth is going to be wasted and eliminated by your addictions...forgive me for saying so but it doesn't sound to me like you're taking this thing seriously enough... Possibly due to your age or possibly due to the fact that you may not have had enough suffering yet...wake up, bro, and put that damn bottle down before it's too late! Much love 🤙
One day at a time, brother! You got this. I got off opiates almost 9 years ago already after being on them for over a decade. I was buying or stealing them whenever I could find them. It is hard. As you said, one day, no, I say one minute at a time. That's how I finally broke the cycle. Just telling myself: if in 5 minutes you want the drug, you can take it. 5 became 10, 10 became 30, etc. You got this but only of you keep trying until the day you don't have to try and it just becomes a part of the future you.
This is from April 3, 2005. While they had quite a following off of the first album, We Are Not Alone absolutely exploded on the scene and really put the band on the map.
Yeah this is waaay better. The version on the album is literally the plugged version, just with an acoustic setting on the guitar, or that's how it sounds anyway.
@@theabyssmaleye Do you really think the Aurora version is good, even though it is literally a slightly new arrangement with copy pasted vocals from the original song?
I cant seriously be the only one still listening to this in 2023?
Commenting for you to back for 2024 dude.
you arent
2024 here too and 23 and all of them since it came out lol
24 son!
24 🔥🔥 I love the original but they're just something about this one 😫🥹
There's something about Ben's voice in all the acoustic versions that just gives me chills. He is an excellent vocalist.
Same here; so seductive, dark, and beautiful
Thank you, I appreciate it 😊
You know a singer is good when they can sing "unplugged"
Acoustic is easier. At least it is for me.
Most singers find it easier to sing over an acoustic performance
Pinhead Ralph But he’s not lol, he’s still using a mic set to his settings lol

@@sophiaetka22 nah, bridgestone!
Thanks god for nirvana nevermind or we wouldnt have benjamin burnley or shaun morgan lol
I love how he can be such a good smooth singer at the same time he can sing with a lot of power, thats what makes Ben so special!
Yeah he sounds really good to me too. It's a nice song.
this almost looks like breaking bens best performance ever to me... when he sings "you really are" at 3:03 its too good.
+peter griffin I can't un-hear Ivan now lol. Thanks
SmokingBirds damn you’re not kidding
this version is good but there's another version I prefer. It's in front of a crowd and his voice sounds better, i think it was a bonus on phobia? have a look around but both are excellent and worth the time to seek out
Wow love it!
@@sboy3287 I swear I thought this was the bleeding for 2 seconds
his voice is truly beautiful
Ben is like a fine wine, just gets better with time.
I just noticed that he's wearing a Decepticon shirt, and I love Ben even more.
Atleast someone knows difference between Autobots and Decepticons
Ben is a fricking nerd and I love it. 🖤
That bass and bongo sounds awesome together!!!
Bongo? That looks nothing like bongos. That's a djembe.
Sorry. "That bass and djembe sound awesome together!!!" Jeez man I don't know the difference...
I freaking love your profile picture *****
So many years and I still love it
And still will in 100 years!
Over almost 2 decades and its always amazing
That tells you how incredibly talented Ben is and the band is really his own and he ran the show.

A classic masterpiece I'm happy to grow up around this time 2023 and still listening 🫡🎶✈️
God send. Anyone seriously want to do music with this exceptional influence
This band is severely underrated.
Today is the 14-year anniversary of this epic performance ❤️
The best
17 years now
18 now.
It really hard for me to go through this song and not sing along!!
I wanted to sing so badly, when the chorus started I just broke out singing
+Joseph Green can confirm, currently singing...
+breakingjesus57 I was reading my friends messages , and had no idea that I was just singing along , lmao.
Hell yes. 2019 and I'm still blasting Breaking Benjamin and singing along. People just look when I'm driving and belting it out. I really try. Haha
breakingjesus57 don’t fight it buddy
Hell Yeah...
This acoustic AOL session Was recorded on my birthday in 2005, and I sing this song for my two brothers and my cousin, who are gone but not forgotten...!!!!
I saw these guys with Seether and Three Days Grace, & that was a GREAT concert..!!!
Skillet was also on that tour, I remember like it was yesterday back in 2007
Damn bro! That does sound like one hell of a dope show! I love me sum three days grace and breaking Benjamin!!! I wish I could have been at that show!
Dude I have watched this video probably a hundred times. This is one of my favorite acoustic breakdowns. Hands down.
100 ??? Probably 500 here!!!
The only one close is their “breath” acoustic
Listen to down in a hole unplugged. I get chills!

Especially with this song. But does this not take you back? All of the other comments are nine years old. Lets see how this one does.
I keep coming back this lads. Absolute Masterpiece !
I pity people who are yet to discover this legendary band !
BB forever ❤🔥🤘🏼
A little fun fact for ya guys: Ben stated the lyrics to "So Cold" were inspired by the movie, 28 Days Later. FYI. Pretty cool.
imagine what Ben and Lacey Mosley/Strum (Flyleaf) would sound like together .we gotta get them together for one song!
I've been saying that for years, for fucking years.
Great minds think alike my friend. Glad to know someone out there feels the same,
I think the same thing!!
+Rylan Shayde uh, Lacey is like 4'11 and Ben is 6'4.... That's not really possible..
+Chris Jones Height doesn't matter, it's totally possible. But it won't happen since they're both married with kids...a duet would be sick though.
The people who disliked this punch turtles for fun.
And nuns and puppies
Better off drop kicking them, same with old folks and ducklings.
And make fun of people in wheelchairs
And stealing from the poor
This is my favorite video on the internet. I hope it stays up until the end
When he sings show me how defenseless you really are towards the end it's mildly different and I love it I thought their was a version we're he sang or that everytime
These guy's are so under rated. Top 5 band's live out today
They're back finally ... cant wait to hear their new stuff !
Jack frost huh what year is it....this is fantastic
Sounds like it should play in some jungle stealth mission.
AHAAHHA YESSS
metal gear solid
2021 anyone? always come back and jam out to all the acoustics by these legends
Definitely one of my all time favorite bands. My next tattoo will be the emblem for sure
I want my first tatto to be related to music, and is strongly considering using their emblem to
i have a Breaking Benjamin pick with their band logo on it!
I got one of their knot. I love it. Favorite band
Did you get it?
I'm gonna get a tattoo of my favourite album of theirs "dear agony" on my arm next month. Pretty excited
Young Ben :)
Still listening in 2019
2021 Baby

Here after all these years cause this is a masterpiece to this day.
Anyone else got the chills ?

😂😂 but that voice though 👌🏻
Man he had such an underrated voice.
honestly, i started to hear then few months ago, and now i cant stop to listen breaking benjamin...everyday on my iphone!
This is one of my favorite songs in acoustic, I like it just as much as the original version.
Its 2021, who's still here?
not AOL lol
Always coming back to the acoustic versions of this song T^T
Legendary
we need these guys touring and making banger hits
+dave Brown they just released an album in June, acoustic tour is coming soon
Touring europe now ;)
"Come oowwnnn in." "Yeeaaa!" xD haha at least this band is lively even offstage
ragglefraggle24 haha dude I’ve watched a couple of interviews of Ben and he is an entertaining person
Papa Roach said that in their intros at AOL, so I think that was a nod to them. Unless that was a phrase they were told to say in the inro.
This was the version I ever heard... fell in love with it
This song means so much to me. I want him to hear it. It's how I feel and how he is. Music therapy.
I relapsed the other day. I had a 3 or 4 day binge of alcohol use, and was drinking pretty heavy, after being clean a good while and feel like this :(... I stayed clean since July 3Ist, 2021 and just had turned 28 a few weeks before July 31st of 2021. I really don't know why I did all that. I just don't understand why I do this to myself. I know, I can't live like this forever, and I'm still young. I hope to stay clean and I'm gonna keep fighting, I'm not gonna give up, I've came too far to give up now... To anyone out their trying to get clean or wanting to get clean and stay clean. Please don't give up. Theirs many of us out their that are addicts, I'm sure but if you want to get clean and stay clean, don't give up. Sometimes I feel like all I can do is take things one day at a time. I've fought this addiction to alcohol, for years now really, and over came a year of pill abuse. And tried meth, and cocaine and other drugs I won't go into. One things always seemed hard for me to fight and stay clean from is Alcohol. Sometimes I wonder if I'll make it. I'm gonna keep going though. I have to keep going, cause "that's ok, we'll give this one more try" as he says in the song.
Bro...yes, you may still be young but as a 50 yo recovered alcoholic I'm here to tell you that you won't be young forever - 10 years and then 20 will get behind you before you can even blink an eye...your entire youth is going to be wasted and eliminated by your addictions...forgive me for saying so but it doesn't sound to me like you're taking this thing seriously enough... Possibly due to your age or possibly due to the fact that you may not have had enough suffering yet...wake up, bro, and put that damn bottle down before it's too late! Much love 🤙
One day at a time, brother! You got this. I got off opiates almost 9 years ago already after being on them for over a decade. I was buying or stealing them whenever I could find them. It is hard. As you said, one day, no, I say one minute at a time. That's how I finally broke the cycle. Just telling myself: if in 5 minutes you want the drug, you can take it. 5 became 10, 10 became 30, etc. You got this but only of you keep trying until the day you don't have to try and it just becomes a part of the future you.

Keep on keeping on!
What ? ! ? Ben is a fellow Transformer's fan ? Now I like BB even more now. :)
Well here it is 2024 still jammin out to this.
Haha the braaapp braaapp at the end lol, he's a trip 😂😂, he's something else no one else like him, I'll tell ya that. Thanks to y'all for this song :)
All singers from this era were awesome. Ben Burnley, Adam Gontier, Pete Loeffler, Maynard James Keena, I could keep going. All can sing "unplugged"
Perfeito!!😍😍 Alguém em 2020?

These acoustic songs still get me through my days they’re just absolutely amazing!

Perfectly executed. Amazing! I have heard it a million times. This video kills it. Real
This is actually better than the original IMHO.
yes!!! I feel the same
FrustratedNameSearch totally agree. my favorite song
No, it lacks the anger on the voice and the screams
Great vocal work!
Beautiful natural voice, still gives me the chills ❤
