Since you reacted to this one you should react to the sequels to this song, the first one is called torn in two and the second one is called tourniquet

Ben said when they were coming up with ideas of the song, someone asked him “what’s the darkest, worst feeling in the world?” And he said he thought about his child, “A man losing his child” said Ben. Thus Red Cold River

I lost my two year old son to drowning in July and the lyric, “I can’t feel anything at all” aptly described the immediate aftermath. Other than the deepest or loss, I felt nothing at all. I couldn’t be happy, I couldn’t feel comfortable, and I even lost the feeling of the fear of death. If you’ve recently lost a loved one, I won’t tell you it gets better because it doesn’t. I’ll tell you it gets different, and a new version of yourself and a new version of daily peace will be found. Just don’t quit the day. And then tomorrow, all you have to do is don’t quit that day. You will feel something again.

Never Again is also a part of the story because the dude who is addicted to that blue drug thing is their in that hell looking like place where the dad gets trapped in Torn In Two. Also, Torn in Two showed all of us that clip from Polyamorous from that random small tv and we also got to see the family that was walking from So Cold...

Yep. And basically the Dad sold his soul to the devil to know the truth.

You seemed confused a bit about the plot so I’ll help some. As you stated, his daughter is missing and he’s distraught. They organize a search party and they can’t find her. In desperation, the father basically seeks out a witch doctor that helps him see through the eyes of the killer, essentially in exchange for his soul. The father sees the killer (presumably a friend) chasing down his daughter and he “relives” those memories. Enraged and essentially a shell of a man/monster now, he tracks down the killer and nearly beats him to death before being stopped by the sudden appearance of his daughter’s spirit. I’d also like to stress as others have that this is a trilogy of songs I whole-heartedly recommend...then do something completely different by them like Ashes of Eden. You’ll get a massive appreciation for the depth, artistic ability, and talents of this very underrated band.

From my understand the story in this video is of a father losing his child only to find her body murdered by a river. The man goes to a witch who hexs him into seeing who killed his child and turns out it was one of the members of the search party and the witch gives him the power to take revenge on him. After which the man drags his child's killer to the river where he left her body and kills him there. Only to have his child decend from heaven and lead him into the afterlife

I love BB! They are sooooo underrated, so so good. Powerful video as well. You are correct, the video is about him losing his daughter and going to any and all lengths to find out what happened. After the police and his friends and locals fail to find her. He essentially loses himself and he goes to a " Witch Doctor " to find answers. She does her voodoo magic and he sees what happened and who did it, his " friend " so he goes after him and you see what he does. At the end when hes laying the smackdown in his enraged state, his daughter comes to him in the form of an angel to say its ok, and she is ok and brings him back from the absolute anger and rage he manifested himself into. Very powerful song and video. I can understand what he turned into, if anything happened to any of my children, i know i would absolutely lose it. Great reaction as always! Keepem coming!

Hey Alex, "Red, Cold River", "Torn in Two", and "Tourniquet" form a trilogy of videos that continue the same story, so if you want to know what happens to the dad and daughter, you need to watch them all.

Fit for a king - Shattered glass?? God I love breaking Benjamin

The message of the song is kinda unrelated to the video, but the story of the video is that a man’s daughter goes missing, and he goes out in search for her along with the police and his friend (guy in glasses). When they discover her dead body in the river, he goes to a witch to find out how she died. He learns that his friend kidnapped her and killed her. This ritual also turned him into a demon-type figure. He then confronts and attacks his friend for killing his daughter. He drags him to the river where he killed his daughter. He beats him mercilessly (don’t know if he kills him or not) until he sees his daughter’s angel rise from the water. He reaches for her and that is where the video ends. Watch “Torn in Two” and “Tourniquet” next to see where the story goes from there!

TWO THINGS 1) The guy he was hitting, was someone who was helping him "look for his daughter" he found out he's the one who took her he was even sniffing her red ribbon. 2) this is a video story, you have to have the next lines.. next is torn in two, the tourniquet. The videos tell a movie!

@alexhefner you need to play torn in two and then tourniquet by them. It’s sequel videos to this one

I am so happy u reacted to them again. There are two mire videos that come after this like a story the next one is torn in two if you want to check them out but I'd love it if you did a reaction.

This is why breaking Benjamin is my favorite band of all time

I just saw Breaking Benjamin in concert this past weekend. This is the song they opened with! Loved i!

Another awesome sounding song with an incredibly powerful message... Badflower-Ghost!!!!

Gotta watch torn in two and tourniquet

You HAVE to watch Torn in Two and Tourniquet to finish this story.

The father figure in the video, as you explained, is looking for his missing daughter. He does whatever it takes, and ends up selling his soul to find out the truth. He realized that it was actually someone he trusted, which he then proceeds to kill him in a river. Which then gives you the phrase, Red Cold River.
