  • Great Cover Ben

    I'm sure David's Proud of you

    -Matt, NeoNxClan

  • Not bad, i like a lot both version :D

  • I must say... i cant stop listining to this, so amazing.

    I would so much love to hear Ben sing with David, it could be so amazing.

    But keep it up !! Its so cool <3

  • i got chills......so very well done love it 

  • He sounds just like David Draiman

  • Your amazing... you should be global

  • ya bro! amazing version. I know david is proud of you! you guys should come to brooking South Dakots and do a song together :D

  • Love it. My two youngest are Ben and Dave, although in my family Ben's older. I've also seen some political commentary from YJ Draiman, candidate for Mayor of L.A. in 2013, and there's some great stuff. I'm a contributing blogger for the NJ Tenth Amendment Center, and his material could easily be an education for any of my fellow "Tenthers."

  • thats was very beautiful, you should put your music out there for more people to see, yeah that was just a cover, but you seem to have the talent to do just as good as your brother

  • I really like ur cover.its very emotionnal..and i think i'll cry when i listen it.you sing very well. You're a good singer like your brother :P good luck you have the talent!

  • Okay you are an amzing pianist....But too bad the lyrics weren't copied.

    I still like David's singing better than yours, but you'll get there :)

  • wow, i guess musical talent runs in the family

  • The piano is simply amazing man. I need to be honest, I think your brother sings it better, not to say you sing it badly however. But the way you play that piano is incredible.

  • Radical cover! Sounds great :) good piano.

  • It would've been magical if David came on stage and sang with you.

  • Omg this is amazing, Disturbed is my favorite band i honestly like this version better though cause it helped me with a rough time idk maybe it was just the piano that helped but i still loved disturbed, thank you soo much im happy that i found this video it helped me alot thank you so much Mr. Draiman... means alot[;

  • On a sitenote, isn't your brothers success annoying the hell out of you sometimes? I have sort of a same situation going on and people completely care less about you.

    All they'd ask or talk about would be about him.

  • at first i was like why is david's brother wearing a yamaca (sorry if i spelled that wrong) and then i remembered he was jewish haha..but I'm pretty sure he's not religious huh? well i LOVE your brother's band, i hope i can see them in concert someday...good luck to you too. good to know there are many more musicians in the Draiman family.

  • You guys (Ben and David Draiman) should both write a piano piece that's a spin-off of Darkness, sort of like how Metallica did with Unforgiven by making Unforgiven II. That'd be the coolest thing ever.

  • I thought the original by your brother was emotional, but your piano rendition really stepped it up to another level. That was awesome, Ben. What was does David think of this, or do you know?

  • beautiful ben very beautiful

  • not bad... original is still better.... i think becuz' of the studio... and the bad quality here of the vid...

  • @Tanmark1998 i agree i think he would sound much better in person. the recording quality is kinda sketchy but i can defiantly hear him hit some good notes(:

  • i stood next to this guy at the rockstar taste of chaos tour in london.. when i saw him i was like :O :L nice cover ben :P

  • Great cover ! i love disturbeds music and Darkness is one of my fav songs, Good work :) altho i still like davids vocals better sorry =/

  • i guess it runs in the family :)

  • wow devin has a brother???? btw ever since i was a young boy and growing up i have loved disturbed (born 95' disturbed formed 96' no better timeing for a human life) devin ur the reason im so into music and the reason i write music if i ever meet u b4 i die or see one of ur concerts it would infact compleate me

  • @ianbg72 who the hell is devin? or did you just pick up the name in inside the fire?

  • Ben Draiman,Are you really related to David Draiman from the band Disturbed?And are you really David's brother in real life?Because if you are,Wow,That's great.I'm a huge number one fan of your brother David Draiman.Zebrina

  • Imagine this with David's vocals, beauty incarnate.

  • man i didnt know david had a brother i wish i was born into the draiman family bothof you have so much talent lol i can sing worth anything :)

  • Horrible :S

  • he's juweish!!!! he is now awsome!

  • @flashgames248

    So is David.

    He's actually done a few songs about the holocaust, such as Never Again, and Enough.

  • @00DevonTheDemon and stricken to , ;d

  • well i am not going to lie this is one of my FAVORITE disturbed songs, i recently saw disturbed at rockstar uproar festival in fargo mn. i wish so much that they would play this song live. there would be an ocean of lighters, also i think did an amazing job covering this song, its obvious that musical talent runs in your family. also my national gaurd unit was put on secruity detalil for the band in iraq. have a great day

  • man, i love disturbed. i can not believe that david is your borther. i am a huge fan (if not his biggest fan), and i am now a fan of yours. nice job man.

  • not half bad. a little to muc vibrato but still good

  • do you ever go with him on tour?? btw, your brother is awesome and an honest musician =) its literally because of him i got to see my 1st disturbed concert and it was epic, he put me on the list and i got free tickets and its all thanks to him

  • i guess the hair runs in the family eh?

    nice cover though my man, are you from Chicago to?

  • Ben's voice is amazing just like his brother, WOW, they must've gotten a lot of practice from all that laud dovening in yeshiva, lol.

  • The camera just distorded it to death... crapyp mic... you should record that with a real mic. lol I love it!

  • Invokes the same feeling in me that your brother's does. Great cover.

  • Horrible!!!

  • Great cover.

  • Great Pianing, I'd love to be able to play a musical instrument other than the computer.. o.O

  • Amazing cover of Darkness :D I never knew David had a brother though :O the two of you should make a song together! :D

  • @HorrorGrlLuva I completely agree to both things. Awesome cover, and they should DEFINITELY do a song together

  • @HorrorGrlLuva Yeah. Guess that'll be a cold day in hell before that happens. But thanks!

  • @bendraiman why? :(

  • @bendraiman why do you believe it would be a cold day in hell when that happens because I believe it would be great... Don't you think hell is due for a winter lol

    and amazing cover btw its awesome

  • @bendraiman hey, do you still keep in touch with your brother still? if so, tell him i said you and him are very talented and should at least make a music video singing together.

  • love it! David has some wonderful vocals to get someone pumped, but this is extremely heart filled talemt!

  • ben i have to say your great and i love your brother as an artists and would love to meet him

  • This song always makes me cry. Your brother is such an inspiration to me too. One of the books I have written has had it's chapters based on my own interpretations of disturbed songs.

    I also saw them in Glasgow 2 years back and I cried when he sang. You sang this beautifully by the way. David would be proud. )

  • Hey Ben, sorry we missed you, we left Jerusalem earlier then I planned to spend more time in Eilat. And well getting around by car in Jerusalem was a lot more difficult then I thought.

  • You rock man and i used to live by david but then i actually moved next door to donegan without even knowing it ;) but i guess just coincidence?

  • I'm not Jewish but I love how you Bring out your Religion, and David Is very fond of his Background and History, I hope that He one days overcomes his demons as he says he tries in many of his songs, if you ever read this you should tell him to seriously try turning to god, because I am such a huge Disturbed Fan, because they are against Evil, I hope David gets the Truth some day!

  • i agrh 9ksemi. the timing was a little off. with the piano too. the singing wasn't bad tho. just the timing

  • (pt2) never can fault someone for trying, and if I wasn't comparing it to the original, I would like it greatly. However, the original is too amazing to not compare it to it. Good luck with whatever you're doing Ben. You are talented.

  • mind-fuck. My favourite vocalists little brother. I'm sorry, I don't like the cover. It feels un-natural. Your voice isn't exactly bad, but its being compared to davids, and his version was recorded professionally, and bleeds emotion and passion. If people didn't know the original, this would be a pretty damn good song. But as it is being compared to the original, i'm sorry, but it fails. The piano alone makes it feel weird and the lyrical timing is off. But damned good show none the less, (pt1)

  • Man, you are absolutely incredible. I really never payed much attention to this song until you played it, and now I love it. Keep it up

  • wow!!! ben you are verrry talented!!! too bad im not a record executive because you have a great voice and awsome piano skills!!!

  • David and Ben RLz ! 

  • david and ben are jewish :O awesome

  • hey ben my my name is nachi bloomberg I go to Arie Crown Hebrew Day School, I heard that david went there and i was wondering if you did. I played basketball with someone named MR. Draiman at the school I was wondering if your related

  • Excellent job! That was an awesome cover of an amazing song. Keep doing what you're doing, Ben!

  • Ben, whats it like being the brother to one of the singers of one of the most popular bands ever?

  • his bro is the best :) !

  • well i would of think that this song would be perfect is if the video quality was a bit better because i think you have an amazing voice but the sound quality just ruins it a bit for me.

    but its the lyrics and your voice that counts and with that i think this was beautifully made :)

  • You have a beautiful voice just like ur brother, you two shoud think of doing something together....

  • You know. Just the timing. But you know what; that doesn't matter. What is touching is how much heart you put into it. I think really in a song like this; singing from the heart is all that counts. Great job man.

  • I think the song's missing something without the drawn out lyrics, but it's cool otherwise. And yeah, as someone else said, the timing does seem a bit off sometimes.

    I like it though, it's great and I enjoyed it! ... twice. :)

  • I have to say, it's true what they say about music running in families. Both my brother and myself play guitar. I've been a huge fan of your brother's music since The Sickness. And it's good to see you putting yourself out there as well. Kudos to you bro!!

  • dude no way davids brother lol

  • i share your love of this song! david is unbeatable in the original but this is very beautiful as well, nice job :)

  • This video reminds me of the blair witch project,,, the camera is bouncing and moving around too damn much to see what's going on untill the piano starts...

  • nice... favorited

  • Although you don't sing as good as David, your way of emotionally empowering the song with the piano is amazing

  • wow... I love listening to you... you can HEAR that you are brothers... your voices aren't that different

  • awesome , are you the brother from david?

  • i love both songs .... i m a big fan of distubed and david 2.... now i m a great fan of yours ...see ya around hugs n kisses from venezuela

  • you've done your brother proud!

  • Okay dude, first of all, YOU ROCK!! I love it.. This is the best cover of this I have yet to see!

  • Wow, loved it! I swear, your family is made up by musical geniuses! You and David rock!

  • your really his brother now I love the family music genius

  • least u and ur bro get along my sisters a stupid prep and im a headbanger but i love the passinate stuff aswell

  • This is the only good vocal cover of this song I've found, rock on, Ben!

  • Beautiful rendition of one of my favorite Disturbed songs.

    Now, if the camera could have just stayed put for the entire performance and not pan around the room...

    You and David could do this as a duet. That would be incredible to hear!

    Take care-- Stephanie :)

  • Good job man. You're really good at piano. Thanks for posting this.

    And tell your brother that I love Disturbed and that I've seen them twice and I can't wait for the new album!

  • Thats good stuff man, shame about the vid quality though lol

  • Is there any way I can get the piano notation of that song?? :O

  • Sorry dude. I'm musically illiterate.

  • @bendraiman I feel special now because I'm replying to someone who's related to one of my musical idols. :)

  • @bendraiman Brother of David Draiman? You look like him a lot, and you're really talented too. Pretty awesome brothers, you guys seem similar.

  • @galvaplex

    oh man, i would love to get my hands on that song's notes... :(

  • It's good, I prefer disturbed's version though.

  • so do I!

  • Im sorry I dont really like it, the timing seems to be bad, you failed the first sentence by lyrics :(. 1:43-1:45 for examp.

    Goodjob putting feeling into it though

    Beautifull song

  • Brutal honesty. I love it!

  • @bendraiman You know I didn't know David had a brother, but In My opinion you should be just as famous as him... maybe not for rock music, but definitely for music the same style as Darkness.

  • @9ksemi "This is my interpretation of it"

    Nuff said. I prefer Disturbed's version (their best song imo) but this is good :)

  • yep

  • Why does the camera keep turning around? Is that David over there?

  • yep

  • Comment removed

  • sin. sound is not good .. it would be nice to hear a better sound ..

  • Would be better if the sound quality wasn't so SHIT. Even in HQ, I can barely hear you behind the piano, and everything is clipping horribly.

    However, if I listen really closely and pick it out, you're actually really good. The cover is great, even if it misses the first verse.

    5 stars for the cover. However, if someone would request me to rate this video based solely on sound quality, I'd have to rate it 1 star, because sound quality is absolutely fucked.

    5 stars for the cover.

  • Well, actually "Benjamin".... but I go by "Ben"

  • My name is Ben :)

  • he is the disturbed singers brother?

  • yeah he is

  • WAW! nice!

  • You should sing a duett sometime!! Because your voice is awesome, almost just as awesome as David's :)

  • An excellent rendition.

  • Definitely agreed! A duet would be awesome!

  • Man you're awesome dude.

  • Yes I know. I screwed up with the lyrics, and yes there are MANY problems with this rendition and if so many people didn't seem so interested in it I would have removed the clip long ago. So please forgive and enjoy!

  • Thank you for this cover. I enjoy this song very much it's my favorite of all your brothers songs but I can't find any live versions of it on youtube and I enjoy hearing live versions so this video is very special to me. Also I would like you to know I have the up most respect for you and your brother you are two of my favorite muscians ever.

  • thank you!

  • @bendraiman Your very welcome. Although I should be thanking you and your brother for making such amazing music. So thank you Ben and David thank you

  • @Doomsdau1279 you can find a live version of it from the music as aweapon 2 tour. good cover too ben cheers mate :)

  • WE LOVE YOU BEN

  • AMAZING you play very good

  • Listen for me-The still small voice when no one's spoken-Should we believe-Only one more time-Don't listen to them-Never say we're through-Let no one lie to you-Don't you walk away-Just breathe again-Come back home

  • @BettaYetta1 you got the lyrics wrong! Its TOTALY different! I know cause I have the album with the booklet and its not like what you said at all!

  • You are absolutely right! These are my own 'response' lyrics. Response lyrics always come in my head almost as soon as I first hear a song! It's wild. Sometimes they are not very nice. Like these. I sent these to Ben Draiman after I heard him sing Darkness. I was very impressed! I just hope he didn't take it the wrong way. Some people do. I can't help it, tho.( if you do not offend easily, check out Disturbed Mol Alcatraz 2009 for my response called M.O.L.2-ME-2)

  • Trust you and me-We need each other to get through this-Please just believe-For this one last time-Don't listen to them-Don't you say we're through-I've never lied to you-Don't just walk away-Need me again-Come back home

  • He has a kippah, he's cool.

  • great version i think (taking it classical )

  • umm srry but dave has the better version

    keep up the good work.

  • I love this Disturbed song, they are my favourite band.

    Its great that you covered it, I like how it sounds on the piano !

  • this is beutifull! the way you sing this song its so... so full of emotions, feelings.. u have a beutiful voice, and a gifted way to sing. Thank you.

  • It is so interesting to hear you cover a song written by one of your family members...

    Very well performed. I appreciate how close you put yourself to the music. There is an honesty there that I strongly respect. Performing like this puts you in a vulnerable position, and you are courageous to do it anyway.

  • dude thats funny! i luv this song!! and i had no idea david had a brother! lol

  • liked the kippa :)

    and hes f*cking good!

  • LOL

    Ben you have a very beautiful voice but it is the first time which I hears you!

    In the first listening, even if your voice is a little bit similar to David,but I prefer the voice of David .......

    I am going to look at your other songs ...... and my opinion will change maybe!!!!

    ;)

    ....Thank....

    (sorry my english is very bad, I use a translater)

    bye! have a great day!

  • Don't worry, you're English is very goodly :]
