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

There's something about Ben's voice in all the acoustic versions that just gives me chills. He is an excellent vocalist.

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.

his voice is truly beautiful

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.

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.

Young Ben :)

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 😈💚

10 years later still awesome

All singers from this era were awesome. Ben Burnley, Adam Gontier, Pete Loeffler, Maynard James Keena, I could keep going. All can sing "unplugged"

This was the version I ever heard... fell in love with it

This is one of my favorites im singing along to this masterpiece

This is one of my favorite songs in acoustic, I like it just as much as the original version.

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.

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.
