Crushed it man!!

5 years later and this is probably the best acoustic cover of this song. Love it man.

"Dear Agony" I have nothing left to give I have found the perfect end You were made to make it hurt Disappear into the dirt Carry me to heaven's arms Light the way and let me go Take the time to take my breath I will end where I began And I will find the enemy within Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin Dear Agony Just let go of me Suffer slowly Is this the way it's gotta be? Dear Agony Suddenly The lights go out Let forever Drag me down I will fight for one last breath I will fight until the end And I will find the enemy within Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin Dear Agony Just let go of me Suffer slowly Is this the way it's gotta be? Don't bury me Faceless enemy I'm so sorry Is this the way it's gotta be? Dear Agony Leave me alone God let me go I'm blue and cold Black sky will burn Love pull me down Hate lift me up Just turn around There's nothing left Somewhere far beyond this world I feel nothing anymore Dear Agony Just let go of me Suffer slowly Is this the way it's gotta be? Don't bury me Faceless enemy I'm so sorry Is this the way it's gotta be? Dear Agony I feel nothing anymore

I hope Ben sees this.

When That first dear agony hits 👌🏻

Disturbed’s sound of silence, Kevin Staudt’s Dear Agony. Two extremely rare examples of perfecting masterpieces.

Omg I’m in tears. This is my song to my dad he died of liver cancer. I’m getting “dear agony” tattooed on me today

I’m young and I’m playing and singing for more than 10 years, I’m also a big fan of Breaking Benjamin for 5 years I suffer for depression and I sometimes I don’t play or sing for long because I don’t have motivation for this ... but I get ambitious when I listen to your covers

Our dog of 9 years was diagnosed with late stage lymphoma. We had her put down today to stop the pain and slow agony of death. She feels nothing anymore. We feel heartbroken 💔 Thank you for this cover song.

that first "dear agony" without any music

This is the most beautiful version of this song that I've heard ❤

Found this in 2019 and whoa.... like... I am speechless... it is gorgeous... thank you for blessings my ears with this.

You can tell when someone believes the words of the songs they sing, and can tell the same story the original writer was trying to tell. So many of these famous youtube cover artists have incredible voices, but you can tell they don't believe the story, and honestly those covers are always missing that element... you believe the words in this song, and it's so easy to tell in your tone and it's beautiful.

Little late to the party, but glad I found this.

The best cover of this song in the very existence!

Words can't even express how much I love this

Listening to this over and over. This song was meant to be played on the piano, this is the best version of this song I have heard. Every time I thought about the lyrics to this song, I always thought it was more from sadness than rage. The music fits the words perfectly.

i definitely got goose bumps

You are very talented. Why ain't you a Rockstar, I don't know.

Kevin my boy...you have the magic in you.

Damn. I just discovered this, and I started crying during the first chorus because this rendition is so well executed. Freaking beautiful!

I have no words to explain how this version make me feel. Thank you so much. This one hits me to the core

KEVIN, Your interpretation is brilliant!!! I am in Love with Your Singing ❤❤❤

SUPER LOVE IT ESPECIALLY THE PIANO RHYTHM :D SUUUUPER THE BEST !

I love that you do Breaking Benjamin songs ♡ very well done

I... Literally only found you 20 minutes ago and this is by far my favorite cover you've done? Pro...bably because this song holds so close to my heart that I can't help but repeat it about 30+ times when I hear it. Your voice has such a richness to it that you don't find in many higher range male voices anymore. Your voice has brought such a warmth to this song but I will say you made it your own and I'm so proud of you just like so many other people. I haven't pursued my dreams of music for so long and Kevin- I'll be honest, you have begun to give me a reason to attempt to start up again. Thank you. Keep working on your rich tones and I would love to one day be able to hear you on an offical album.

Looking at my son passed away He's more happy an opportunity for to see his love to christ Now he doesn't suffer no more he feels nothing anymore so happy for him love ❤♥you son

"Somewhere far beyond this world. I feel nothing anymore." Fucks me up pretty good chief not gonna lie

Keep revisiting this because of how well it is done. Great job Kevin. And I know it's a sensitive topic, but the song about the animals is great too, and an important message. You're a really good person. Dont change that! ❤

The keyboard playing is so captivating.. it's so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤧🤧🤧

Oh my God how am I only finding your channel now. This is beyond amazing. Great work man!

Wow, this just brought me to uncontrollable tears that I didn’t think I had. Thank you.

Dude i really love your covers💙 Cheers from Argentina

Thank you so much for always covering Breaking Benjamin, the most lyrically gifted band of our generation. You do BB justice

beautiful piano work. the way he plays those keys is so lovely and beautfiul

It’s now 2024 and I still can’t find this on Spotify.

I'm not crying you are

Already crying a minute in. This rendition is beautiful. 💙

Oh my goshhhh I LOVE how you took it down the octave on the chorus. Definitely changed the tone but welcomed and so appropriate:) thank you for this

Yes, I've waited so long for this! Beautiful cover, as always :)!

Pure talent ❤️❤️❤️

As a Breaking Benjamin fan, a fam of the guitar rifts, hard beat, roars and magnitude of the band's music, this is a great flip side of the coin. Same passion with a more subtle and intense tone. I like it.

Amazing!! Next: Give me a sign :3

You're my n°1 crush. Gosh, i love your voice so much

When the first chorus hits, it sounds so beautiful! 😭✊

Please keep going with your covers, love all of them

Starset - My Demons

My favourite cover from you! Absolutely beautiful! You’ve completely captured the emotion of the song.

Those key tonnes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥overwhelming feeling !!!!!

I love this song and hearing it stripped back like this is awesome.

This song was made for your voice. Incredible voice and cover. Amazing work! I'm a new subscriber. I realize this video is 3 years old but I just wanted to let you know your videos are great. So much talent!

AMO!!!

one of the most beautiful covers ever...

I have watched almost all of your songs both cover and original. I am glad to have been able to watch your voice grow through the past couple of years. Keep it up Kevin.

Dude u are going somewhere

2:57 sound really like Benjamin 🤘

I usually am not for covers, but I absolutely love this. I got chills from this. Wonderful kevin

10 years proud of you

Tão lindo...

missed your covers, bro!

Whoa... It's as haunting as the acoustic version of the song. Good job!

This an amazing cover! Dear agony is my favorite song.

A three days grace cover pleaaaase !

My wish came true

Still on repeat in 2019 man. Awesome voice!

Although an emotional version and would make me relieve my trauma and pain, it would also make me feel like I could do it, I could get through it. Thank you, also very inspiring as I am an aspiring artist myself. Keep it up man

If for whatever reason Benjamin left Breaking Benjamin Kevin you would definitely be able to replace him

This is better than the original song

You nailed it!!!💜🖤💜🖤💜

I felt this in my bones 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

2024 anyone ?

This is amazing. Until the end next? I reckon you'd smash it :D

One wouldn't expect a voice like his to pair up with such elegant piano rhythms! Usually men that share his voice range pair their voices with metal, but this...this is art. Rare art.

Breathtaking. Simply Breathtaking. That is all. No more, no less.

He reminds me of Delson from infamous second son
