Breaking Benjamin is an amazing band! All of their songs can take you from a dark place into an understanding place. Ben Burnley has some of the best lyrics I have ever heard from anybody...
This article is about the weather-related phrase. For other uses, see Dog Days (disambiguation). The expression dog days refers to the hot, sultry days of summer, originally in areas around the Mediterranean Sea, and as the expression fit, to other areas, especially in the Northern Hemisphere.
The ancient Greeks gave the period of hot dry weather which started in July and continued into August the name Dog Days because during this time the Dog Star Sirius is rising with the Sun. Sirius is almost as bright as the sun and is very noticeable in late summer. OK, so much for the dogs.
