Historical Songaday: Day 19 (Breaking Benjamin - Blow Me Away)

DAY NINETEEN: BREAKING BENJAMIN - BLOW ME AWAY

Seriously Breaking Benjamin? The reason you're watching this from the Halo 2 soundtrack is because it's one of the only surviving videos with the original version of the song. An instrumental version was included in Halo 2, and this year, many years after the original, they've made it into a single. THEY'VE RUINED IT. Breaking Benjamin creator Benjamin Burnley agrees, since the new single and it's connected remix were made without his permission. He's fired the other two from the band and is suing for complete control of the name over it.
All I hope is that they expunge this new version.
Okay, the rest of their stuff. Dear Agony is a great album, the others are good. Check out Fade Away, What Lies Beneath, and Firefly(from a different album).
I hold the opinion about the new version, but the old one has generally populated Youtube again. Sorry for the delay today!
