I wonder why this song is so underrated... This masterpiece should be most known song by BB. I've never seen other song like this with so many changes in the key. And the lyrics... So warm and melancholic I could cry just listening to.
This was mine and my best friends song. I remember us riding around singing this together at 17. He passed away our senior year. This song always takes me back to that time. Riding around on a sunny day in his Honda Civic. God I miss him. Such great memories.
I never really paid close attention to the genius of this song until now. The key moves up by a half step in each section, it’s so subtle you don’t even notice, and it’s performed flawlessly. There’s a reason why Breaking Benjamin is one of my all time favorite bands ❤️
The thing i love about BB is that the lyrics for most song are very open for your own personal interpretation. This song means alot to me because of some troubles ive been going through,thats why i love BB and this is why this is my favroute BB song it. BB has got me through some bad times,thank you BB
@@music_holds_my_fading_soul I learned how to play it in Drop D tuning (DADGBE) and it is MUCH easier and sounds great, definitely recommend learning it that way!
@@music_holds_my_fading_soul a great buddy of mien bought a hand grip in order to strengthen his hand muscles to play bar chords. could help you with learning to play those chords effectively. They are difficult. Cheers
Breaking Benjamin is the most underrated rock band of all time. Their music and I mean every single song they have ever made has had such perfect flow and is the perfect music for soundtracks and yet they remained an amazingly untapped resource.
i was never able to forget it and hence why i disliked. i would've liked which i do but your comment said otherwise. i could never forget even if they were just memories. that's his song though. the reason he says forget it is because he remembers it and he says forget it because its so hard to forget but he knows he has to ignore/ forget it.
I'm going through something similar. She broke off with me after a 2 years relationship. But guess what , just yesterday i realised IT'S NOT WORTH IT. Just let it go. Trust me it's for the best
I'm 13 and have been listening to them since I was about 7-8 all thanks to my parents. I don't even remember when I heard this. But when I did, I couldn't stop listening to it.
This song makes me nostalgic for the summer of 2006. I remember drinking beer, next to a campfire, watching fireworks, out in the woods. This song stuck in my head. Good times.
In the book to this album the lyrics to the part where he says "you're the part of me that I don't want to see", he says leave after see. "You're the part of me that I don't want to see leave".
This is a very thought provoking song, I love listening to it while coming up with ideas about depressing situations, one of my favorites is of a man suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder and being aware of the other personality while stuck in an asylum, while there, the he swaps back and forth arguing with himself knowing that once his condition clears up he can go back home and leave that dreary place, eventually getting to the point of just begging it to go, though it responds by begging to be allowed to stay. I know that the song is not about this in the slightest, but it is a neat concept that it inspired.
On Valentine's day, my boyfriend & I snuggled up against each other & listened to this song. I've never been to heaven, but I think I've gotten pretty close to the feeling of it. ❤
Remains one of my favorite Breaking Benjamin songs. You can tell how they can pull out songs like Ashes of Eden when you look back at something this amazing.
it's been years! finally found this song, childhood song i remember listening to it on xbox 360 with my first ever friend that past away. truly miss her
Was my favorite song by them then.. and now I just found out Billy Corgan of my favorite band Smashing Pumpkins helped make it. I knew I loved it for a reason.
I love doing this song in karaoke, even if no one in the bar knows it, they KNOW it when it's over... Love Breaking Ben!! One of my top 5 favorite bands ever.
It goes beyond the lyrics, this music I'm his harmony and his melody is so genuinely written that every tinny piece connect you to the message behind it, it's just amazing how incredible and deep this music is
+Cameron Mcdonley Never mind. Found out the meaning of it using songmeaning.com . However, I think of very positive things when I hear the song if that counts lol.
You can't really just "forget it." Your mind won't let you just forget those times, some of the best times of your life with your boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, best friend, whomever. They're always there, no matter how much you want to forget them. I know what it feels like. God, it just makes you wanna sob. I miss her a lot....
Love this song, love its lyrics, love its key changes. I don't know what it is about Breaking Benjamin but they always infuse their songs with so much genuine emotion. This one's so sad, like someone's hopelessly in love with a person who does nothing but hurt them. That person's their one fatal weakness: the part of them that they don't want to see, but... they can't get rid of their feelings, resigned to living forever this way. Something like that.
I haven't seen any of the American Pie movies but I have listened to this and other BB songs a million times over. Don't need crap movies to validate good rock bands.
Why does everyone like this song so much? I just don't get what makes me replay it so much. I wanted to see if anyone else repeats it as much as I do. I play it over and over.
I'm not normally a fan of Breaking Benjamin. But this is seriously one of my favorite songs. I love when they do acoustic-y sounding stuff like this best. I also love the acoustic version of "Diary of Jane" and "Rain" too. I wish they did softer stuff like this more often.
everyonce in awhile you will find a song that connects to almost every aspect of you....every verse every strum of the guitar pulls at my heart and clicks with an image of my life. six years ago when this album came out and even now..... this will always be a part of me.
Here I am bro.😊 This is the time when Matt realises his mistake. The movie has a very meaningful end. I saw the movie back when I was 17 and now I am 28😪
A friend of mine said something to me the other day that rang true. He said the good guys are hiding, maybe even behind a jerk facade, because the world keeps screwing them over. I paused to consider the plausibility, because I cant find them. I'm one of those that the world will continue to screw over, because it's dead set on destroying good people, and the pain keeps circling around. But don't let it break you. I wont be broken. I've died and been reborn so many times, I'm finally invincible.
