Binaural ASMR Low Speaking, Poetry, Whispering, SK & SQ, Singing - 'Still Alive' from Portal

[@hermetickitten]

Every single day I keep on coming back to your channel to see if you have uploaded a new video, I just cannot explain how much you inspire me. In such a small period of time you have become such a major part of my ASMR journey. Your mix of poetry, literature, friendly chats and your incredibly genuine personality got a place into my heart. You have so much to give, so much to say, you should be the one making tons of views and subscribers. Sometimes your excitement is that of a child, so pure and literary and wonderful. Thank you for being like you are. I will always believe in you!

[@Reverse13studio]

Tu est définitivement une bonne personne :)

[@hermetickitten]

BenArt Salut cher Ben, je suis touchée par tes jolie parole! Bises, bon weekend!

[@casimiroarena5719]

Quanto è bella l'umiltà e la semplicità di una persona che, volendo, potrebbe anche definirsi conosciuta... Complimenti kiki

[@ElCristianMc]

Awwwww (te vi en el comentario y quise decir algo nwn)

[@spguskin]

So this is my first time watching your videos, and you're singing from Portal. It's 3 AM in the United States and I have just come to completely love everything about you. Your personality that comes through your talking to the camera is so precious, and with that sing song of an Irish accent? And a tenor? Be still my American heart. All that is to say, you're adorable, I love your content, keep making new things! I search far and wide for voices like yours, and yours just fell into my lap. I literally could not be happier. Now excuse me while I giggle and listen to you sing some more. ♥

I feel exactly the same about Autumn. It flies by but is so beautiful and full of color. Funny how people look at things differently. When I moved from Southern California (where it's always the same..season in, season out) to Oregon...and I was in awe of all the color changes and the beautiful colors the trees became, seemingly overnight,.. and commented to a friend excitedly who had grown up there, how the leaves were so gorgeous and the colors amazing, he said, "Yes, because they're dying." I thought what a morose way to look at something so incredible, but he was right. Autumn is kind of like... If you'e ever had people around you that know their days are limited/life is coming to an end, even the coldest hearts turn and suddenly they see things differently and appreciate every little blessing, and person. They embrace people warmly they didn't in past. It's sad it takes that sometimes to wake peoples' hearts up. But that is what Autumn reminds me of, now. The realization that you have something beautiful that is quickly coming to an end...and you take it all in and appreciate it. Anyway,... Don't ever say, "I know that will never happen." It's not as though you're asking for superhero powers or to win the mega lottery. It can happen if you choose for it to happen. I had a similar dream about a coffee, music shop with live music. I made it come true for me. Unfortunately problems with the building and being that I didn't own it and landlord had no intention of getting up to code, closed it down. But for the short time I had different genres of music performed each night, sold local musicians' music and displayed and sold local artists' work, music lessons taught there, it was a dream accomplished, and on a shoestring budget. And I've not given up idea of doing it again.. but in different place. Speaking of places... Ah-ha! Galway, he mentions! :) My family are all from/I lived as a small child in Rostullis, Woodford. MY pipe dream is to return there and have my music, coffee shop. I'll not give up yet. =) Your simple but lovely dream IS attainable and you can do anything in this life you set your mind to. It's yours to live and you should live it the way you choose! And your idea sounds incredibly doable and dreamy. Stay Gold. ;)

[@treeeester]

*Nothing Gold Can Stay* Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leafs a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leave, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay. -Robert Frost Stay gold, Ponyboy (Andrew). Stay gold. :)

[@AndrewASMR]

Treeester Wow, there is so much to take in here. I certainly don't see Autumn as a morbid or deathly season. I see it as a transitional period. Everything needs balance and Autumn is the focal point of that balance (to me anyway). It always reminds me of beauty and change. Your shop sounds so wonderful. Very idyllic. I'm so sorry to hear it was closed down. I honestly hope you get to open it up again somewhere new and make it even better than it was before. It definitely gives me hope for opening my own shop one day! Thank you for telling me about it. It really makes me feel that I can achieve something similar. It doesn't feel like a silly dream anymore! :D

[@jessicalivdahl8070]

this video is the most relaxing thing ever. just imagining the candle shop by the ocean always calms me down.

[@helenmatthews629]

Oh I love autumn. There was a wonderful poem published by Clive James last week called ‘Japanese Maple’, (which is quite melancholic as he is considering his impending death), but what I love about it is that he celebrates autumn as a breathtakingly beautiful and glorious season in its own right, and not purely as a symbol of decay. Great video, and I love the SQ noise too!

[@PinkGrapefruitttt]

you are so passionate about your candle shop, I really hope you pursue that dream!!

[@michaelreese3398]

You really are such a kind and gentle man..Your dream was such a joy to listen to and the way you described it had me drifting off into thought "There's the candle shop by the sea" Thanks for another great video!

[@AndrewASMR]

Michael Reese Thank you so much Michael. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's one of those things I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in hearing about but I just talk about it anyway! :D

[@daughterofanarchy4000]

Oh Andrew , what beautiful blue eyes you have! And how easily you make me smile ..you are such a beautiful soul .. I just want to hug you. I too love Autumn.. the colors, the crisp breezes, the smells.. such an inspirational time of year. I hope one day you have your candle shop by the sea..i would come and buy a candle from you.. much love as always

[@AndrewASMR]

Laura Johnson Ah thank you so much Laura. Your comments are always so lovely. :) Autumn is incredible. I am sometimes staggered by how amazing it is. You will ALWAYS be welcome in my little shop!

[@zhongzhencong]

I think you might be one of my fellow HSP's, highly sensitive and deeply fascinated by little things in life. There's something about a man who's tender, gentle and soft-spoken. Thanks for such wonderful ASMR video. It feels special and reassuring to feel connected with someone alike. :)

[@dirtmonger97]

Wow, that song was actually pretty good. I can never hit that "still alive" contrast of notes. Good job!

[@tiptap5223]

Wow, I loved that first poem! "Flowers in the summer, fires in the fall." :)

[@AndrewASMR]

TipTap Right?! Such a great verse. It's amazing how simple the poem is yet how it captures such diverse images and ideas.

[@tiptap5223]

Indeed! It really takes some skill to create such imagery in so few words. I took a creative writing class in uni and the whole time I was like "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE POETIC." lol.

[@SevenUnwokenDreams]

I've just found your channel, and I love it. i love Autumn as well, and I love the poetry reading. I think your candle shop dream is wonderful. I love the sea, and the sounds of waves. If I could have a shop by the sea, it would be herbs, and tea. Maybe a small selection of books of poetry.

[@IndigoStars]

Amazing as always, Andrew! I had been sorely missing your video's :)

[@AndrewASMR]

IndigoStars Ahh thank you so much! Glad you liked it! I've been missing out on lots of videos lately. I'm going to watch your Bloodlines playthrough now :)

[@IndigoStars]

AndrewASMR No worries! I made the play through as a little test to see how well gaming ASMR would go, so I hope people like it (as it is quite relaxing to make). ^^. Loved the singing, btw! Portal is such an amazing game.

[@AndrewASMR]

IndigoStars I only made it a few minutes in and fell asleep! I'll watch the rest of it tonight. It looks like a REALLY good game. Hard to believe I've never played it. Portal is so good. I'm replaying Portal 2 now (mainly for the brilliant dialogue) :D

[@IndigoStars]

AndrewASMR That's great! ^^ It is a really good game. Rather buggy at times (but a constantly updated un-official patch takes care of most of them) and sometimes quite creepy, but totally worth it :). Exactly! That's why Portal 2 is so great ^^. I might have to replay it too, sometime soon..

[@AlexandraMatson]

Very relaxing and I really love your accent. I liked and subbed. :)

[@MonteCristoAUS]

That was great. I especially like your hypnotic dimples. They're like lava lamps, and they always relax me. As for a name for your shop, well, I could only think of cheesy names, but I quite like "Andrew's Apotheosis"

[@AndrewASMR]

thot What a great name! I like that too. HA! Oh wow, people keep talking about my dimples! I literally went through 90% of my life without anyone mentioning them and now all of a sudden it's all I hear! :D I wasn't even aware I had any until someone told me.

[@Brewst]

You are one of favorite ASMR artist. I am so grateful that I found you through springbok's channel.

[@AndrewASMR]

BrewsterWINS Aww thank you so much. I'm glad you found me too! You're the best! :)

[@minibiskit3580]

Amazing ASMR! Will be looking forward to future videos!

[@crystal3912]

Those poems were beautiful! Autumn is my favorite, but I wish we had legitimate autumn where a I live. Seems like summer never ends, been over 100 all week! Must. Think. Autumn. Thoughts. I love how joyful you are when talking about your candle shop dream! It sounds lovely! I would have like camp on the beach so I could go in and sniff candles all day! I'm currently obsessed with a red velvet cake candle O.O maybe Seaside Candle Cottage for a name? Another wonderful, amazing video!

[@AndrewASMR]

Crystal Smith Ahh just keep thinking those Autumn thoughts. I do that all year when Autumn isn't here. Thank you very much! You are welcome to come in any time! I love that name too! Very quaint. :D

[@CathyD1976]

all the colors of Samhain "Halloween" ..the flickering flames of the bonfires that is what the poetry brought to my mind :)

[@crazylaydeekimi]

beautiful poems :) another fab video. very sleepy and relaxed now. x

[@AndrewASMR]

Kimberley M I completely agree with you. Incredible poems. Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Darjoli8]

I love your videos! You are so sweet and charming. I especially love your poems and the way you explain what they mean to you. I tried to think of a suggestion for your wonderful "candle shop by the sea", but all I could come up with is: "Fragrant Flickers" or "The Scented Flame". (Pretty bad, I know.) Anyway, I hope you have that shop some day, and on cold, winter evenings you could give poetry readings.

[@AndrewASMR]

Darjoli8 Oh thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment! Those names are wonderful! Haha far better than anything I could ever come up with. "...on cold, winter evenings you could give poetry readings", this line is just amazing. I read that and I can see my shop in the dark so clearly with little candles lit everywhere. Stunning! :D

[@thesweadishfreak]

"Flowers in the summer, fires in the fall" kinda feels like a punch in the stomach, but like in a good way. It almost feels like it should be followed by epic lord of the rings music. I love the candle shop idea! Me and my girlfriend can open our imaginary library-coffeshop next door and we promise cake will allways be on the house! ;)

[@AndrewASMR]

Hahaha excellent! I now have a book shop and coffee shop opening around me and my candle shop. I'm creating a community by the sea! That poem is now one of my favourites! Candles for all! :D

[@LaTataSimo]

Don't you dare leave me again for so long!! Fab as always, you keep finding ways to outdo yourself! I thank you for that! :) And i absolutely loooooove the song! xoxoxo

[@LaTataSimo]

Also, name ideas: Andrew's Flame oooor The Moth to your Flame :)

[@AndrewASMR]

LaTataSimo I'll certainly try not to! Thank you so much. I still think I have a long way to go and improve but I appreciate your kindness! :D Also, I like Andrew's Flame! Very dynamic.

[@LaTataSimo]

AndrewASMR You're already great! :D I think so too :) I would be drawn to a place with that kind of name! xo's

[@minibiskit3580]

I think I love whispered poetry now

[@goodDrummerman]

It would be awesome to own a candle shop!! It would always smell so amazing in there haha

[@TheBeeth479]

And I'd call my bookshop Page Turner and you could call your shop Wick Burner

[@AndrewASMR]

BeEth479 I LOVE IT. Hahaha this is so clever. I'm blown away by the names everyone have been giving me. I love the idea of two rhyming store names :D

[@TheBeeth479]

So do I, I wish I was a successful shop owner so I could make this happen immediately. I've been thinking about my little bookshop by the sea all day!

[@pocketsofhoney]

Oh my goodness! You're so sweet! I wish you luck in making your dream a reality. :)

[@QuietBiscuit]

aw sweet man, I did a soft singing video of still alive

[@treeeester]

I was just going to.say...the only other place I heard the Portal song was QuietBiscuit singing it! :) Duet!!! =)

[@QuietBiscuit]

Oh shucks ^//^

[@AndrewASMR]

QuietBiscuit I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for watching.

[@williamryuputra]

Can you do a full cover of still alive? It's the best version i've ever heard

[@AndrewASMR]

William Ryu Putra Haha thank you! I don't know if I'd be any good singing it to music but maybe one day I'll try! :D

[@williamryuputra]

i would love to hear it!

[@KCAdams-kr7ow]

Simplicity with depth. Laugh if you must. I won't mind. As long as it's with me and not at me. :) "Burnwick's Aromatherapy" "Uncommon Scents"

[@lauraaamk]

Andrew loves me! Yay!

[@TheBeeth479]

If I set my bookshop up next door can I warp you a candle for a lovely leather bound book every now and then? Your dream sounds like sheer perfection!

[@AndrewASMR]

BeEth479 ABSOLUTELY. It would be great to work with someone else :D

[@ebethz3465]

What about WhisperWicks? The plan sounds ideal really. Also going to pretend the poems were per my request ;)

[@markmchugh6452]

Maybe you could.do your top 15 Tolkien poems? :P that would make my year. My ideal.asmr.video:D

[@thesweadishfreak]

Oh! And the name could be "the flame" or like the "seaside.... something ... " ooor candles by the coast" or coast candles, or whatever, I love naming things !!

[@AndrewASMR]

I love, love, love candles by the coast. Brilliant name. I'm stunned by the quality of names everyone has given me so far! Too many incredible choices. How can I choose them all!? :D

[@zacronaut5765]

I very much want to visit your candle shop T_T

[@PredatorWookiee]

Andrews Candles could work maybe

[@AndrewASMR]

JelloDemon There is elegance in simplicity!

[@FastFoodVicar]

I really wish I could get poetry, Maybe im just not in the right mindset for it but I can understand why someone finds a piece of poetry amazing but I just cant get my head around it and I wish I could :(
