[@debbievas1338]

I Love this song, my Kids have autism , and its hard for the to really connect , but they love this song, now they want to listen to more. 👍 😍 keep making music. Ur awesome.

[@user-jr4tc1dy8p]

Alec Benjamin is his channel. All of his songs are so beautiful.

[@samanthas7417]

[@geliepie]

"And Also I Really Like Candles A lot, That's Why The Candles Are Here" - Alec Benjamin

[@hashack11]

This song makes me want to ball, but I love it. Great job. ❤

[@evan7564]

bawl* Unless you want to have a ball...(If you don't know what 'having a ball' means, first off, it means having a lot of fun, second off, how do you not know?!)

[@michaelhenderson5074]

Boom Boom Boom Out Go The Lights! No. He meant ball. White people listen to music like this on the court.

[@kerilimburg9136]

I love it!💙

[@TheSavvyGeekInGlasses2301]

But it'd makes no sense. Ball has different meanings, but I'm pretty sure he meant "bawl" as in to cry excessively. Either way, the song is beautiful!

[@sethmcrae882]

hashack11 ive already balled. i literally just went and sat in the bathtub and CRIED

[@anindaosman807]

Amazing voice! A little note: If you slow the speed of this version down to 0.75 from the settings option it sounds exactly the same pace at which this was sung in the music video.

[@jaysprinkles]

^^^Proof that not all heroes wear capes.

[@michikuth6249]

We need to protect him he is so precious 😊😂

[@atlasgb1147]

Aww he's so cute he sounds just like an angel ❤️❤️❤️

[@sr-wj7pm]

i cry every time its so beautiful but it reminds me of my dead ex and best friend

[@SOL315417]

s r How are you coping with it?

[@theswordsmen1659]

SOL315417 I'm guessing the same thing happened but her/him best friend was human and when he/her broke up with her bf/gf and went to go see her best friend but it was too late

[@SOL315417]

My sincerest condolences. What a tragedy indeed. If you ever feel like sharing with a stranger, I am willing to spare my time to listen.

[@dqm0n]

same lol

[@kelceel3612]

♥♥he's sooo goodddd attt singing ♥♥

[@v.moncrieffrose9438]

Alexc Benjamin is the most talented singer-songwriter of his generation. Just unbelieveably talented.

[@wooshbait5564]

His voice is so light

[@hesticahyayustika7680]

No reverb effect, it's his natural voice. You should see his mv behind the scene where he plays the piano and softly sings without microphone. Yes, his singing voice and speaking voice is totally different.

[@Fenonity]

hesti cahya yustika nah you can hear the reverb when hes talking

[@ProfessionalExp]

...You obviously dont know what reverb is

[@tiffanygarretcerrada5195]

What I like about Alec Benjamin is that unlike some singers once rose to fame becomes hardheaded but he is still humble even though he is already famous and his voice too

[@ElexisStacy]

Alec, I know you'll probably never read this but if you do, just know that you're awesome and I love your music. Keep up the great work. I love you Alec😘

[@xinthisdiaryx]

Yeah he's never gonna read this

[@raleighjordan8204]

I'm just curious with the message of the song. It's so emotional, and I like it. Is it really about his robot or it's a metaphor? Hehe

[@bethanylanning9985]

Raleigh Ojanola its actually about a robot. but theres a video he made on how he made the song, so if you wanna check that out to understand it more?

[@zacdavid184]

It is both literally about a boy building a robot for a friend, and symbolically about growing up and moving on from our childhood friends and passions.

[@squashedchiffon236]

Raleigh Ojanola It’s about his REAL best friend, and when he goes to college his best friend feels forgotten, so he commented suicide

[@TheCarterSlade]

He explains in a video but it’s about how he makes a friend or a robot and they spend a lot of time together doing a lot of fun things until he has to leave behind his friend to go to college and they are sad but when he is graduating he meets a girl and forgets about his friend and when he comes back to visit there’s a suicidal note and he find him dead or short circuited on the ground becuase his friend wasn’t there to help him through hard times it’s a really sad story

[@TheRealDjOnTop]

It’s about instability. The robot killer himself.

[@juliegattuso2841]

Never heard this before until Merrick Hanna danced to this song on America got talent, and he did a perfect performance. So it brought me here to this page to say you are so talented and u created such a beautiful song, great job young man. The best part of it is that I understood every word and it made sense, comparing to most songs that we hear today, this song is like a breath of fresh air keep up the good work.

[@angelasylva8000]

This song is so good the first time I heard it it made me cry

[@cragerzz]

The last verse gets my emotions going 😯

[@FIREGOD333]

[@hs3345]

Alec's voice is so heavenly. I swear I could listen to him speak/sing all day

[@yootoob4516]

I don't generally associate Perez Hilton with doing anything positive or worthwhile. This is a wonderful performance. Thanks for promoting Alec. I, too, am here because of AGT and Merrick Hanna's dance performance.

[@kaitlynsilva1751]

[@chrisyodice8766]

[@Phuria429]

I think its an acoustic

[@jamiebales8394]

Classical guitar of some kind. Seems to have no brand on it.
