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

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.

Who the hell could dislike this godly song and performance!!!??!

You know a singer is good when they can sing "unplugged"

this almost looks like breaking bens best performance ever to me... when he sings "you really are" at 3:03 its too good.

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!

So many years and I still love it

That bass and bongo sounds awesome together!!!

It really hard for me to go through this song and not sing along!!

I just noticed that he's wearing a Decepticon shirt, and I love Ben even more.

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..!!!

Dude I have watched this video probably a hundred times. This is one of my favorite acoustic breakdowns. Hands down.

Definitely one of my all time favorite bands. My next tattoo will be the emblem for sure

I keep coming back this lads. Absolute Masterpiece ! I pity people who are yet to discover this legendary band ! BB forever ❤🔥🤘🏼

imagine what Ben and Lacey Mosley/Strum (Flyleaf) would sound like together .we gotta get them together for one song!

I cant seriously be the only one still listening to this in 2023?

Today is the 14-year anniversary of this epic performance ❤️

A classic masterpiece I'm happy to grow up around this time 2023 and still listening 🫡🎶✈️

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.

God send. Anyone seriously want to do music with this exceptional influence

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.

Ben is like a fine wine, just gets better with time.

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

Sounds like it should play in some jungle stealth mission.

They're back finally ... cant wait to hear their new stuff !

The people who disliked this punch turtles for fun.

This band is severely underrated.

These guy's are so under rated. Top 5 band's live out today

This is my favorite video on the internet. I hope it stays up until the end

his voice is truly beautiful

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 😈💚

2021 anyone? always come back and jam out to all the acoustics by these legends

2024 Here As Well…

"Come oowwnnn in." "Yeeaaa!" xD haha at least this band is lively even offstage

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.

Here after all these years cause this is a masterpiece to this day.

they are so damn young

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

To this day, it's one of my all time favorite acoustic tracks ever

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 :)

welcome to sessions at aol...come on in yeah! lol, great track :)

My fav version of this song.

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

I'm still here in 2024❤ a true lasting classic

I love this acoustic version.

Anyone else got the chills ?

Always coming back to the acoustic versions of this song T^T

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

10 years later still awesome

we need these guys touring and making banger hits

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.

In the end, when he's like "Thats how i warm up, DO YOU LIKE THAT?" I'd be like "NO"

this version is better than original...

honestly, i started to hear then few months ago, and now i cant stop to listen breaking benjamin...everyday on my iphone!

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.

What ? ! ? Ben is a fellow Transformer's fan ? Now I like BB even more now. :)

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

I have watched a lot of that song live. Best version ever! Thx for the upload!

Beautiful natural voice, still gives me the chills ❤

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.

Best band ever

this band was one of my favorites when i was in high school. now im in collage and i still listen to Breaking Benjamin.... timeless

2k24 and the real OG keep this alive

dat decepticon shirt doe

1:26 i love this part so much

my favorite group.one of the greats!

they're just as good if not better live and acoustic. Just wow. One of my favorite bands for sure!

Its 2021, who's still here? not AOL lol

Perfeito!!😍😍 Alguém em 2020?

This was and is still amazing

I really like the addition of the hand drums, it gives the acoustic version a whole different tone. Kind of an epic full tone. It reverberates amazingly, like thunder haha

HES HOT HES HOT HES HOT.

Great vocal work!

I must had listen to this acoustic masterpiece a thousand times if not more

years later and still cant get most of their songs in uk on itunes or the like im just glad the brought out the greatest htis on cd which had this on

I can't believe 69 people disliked this godly music.

July 2020 :)

radio stations use to play this Version all the time back in the day. Great performance.

Wow - all over goosebumps, not heard this song for YEARS, and I really like this version. Feeling slight jungle vibes with the acoustic version and I love it, very different!

i was expecting this version to be in Aurora acoustic album.

damn that's a sick version

Man he had such an underrated voice.

Never get enough of this song

Is it me or. People like listen to it on a repeat everytime they open this

I want Ben's T-shirt! #Decepticon #Transformers

I love this so much.

Ben is so good I can't understand how people could hate on him or Breaking Benjamin

I Can Confirm I've Sang Along With Ben

This is actually better than the original IMHO.

I started tearing up during this video. Especially during the chorus. IT'S JUST SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Miss you breaking benjamins. ..my favorite band ever..love you guys

I swear you can hear Kurt in him so clear sometimes.

Ben is without any doubt the best singer on this planet

this version is absolutely amazing. the harmonies between the guitars, and the resonance of the hand drum, as xcallxmexmatt pointed out. Then there is Bens vocals...... omfg what an amazing voice, and what beautiful tone control he shows here....Goose bumps and even maybe a little moisture in the eyes, what emotion he brings to his lyrics

I don't know why they always sounds perfect in every song ♥
