This song makes my heart swell and eyes overflow. What a beautiful song. (Brought here by a beautiful animation too!)

[@tyronetalam8488]

Did ToastyGlow bring you here too

[@MarkusAldawn]

@@tyronetalam8488 too old a comment for that (but I was! :D)

[@neenjatortle5230]

Also here thanks to ToastyGlow, this song makes my soul leap

[@louiebullock5285]

Haha same here

[@ivyquinn8855]

I was definitely brought here by toastyglow. Such a fantastic song accompanied but a fantastic animatic 🥺💕

[@ampz1466]

I've never heard this song before toasty glow. I love this so much! So much joy and love.

[@reallyhardy]

that thing she does at 3:10 just oh my god sends me to another plane of existence incredible showstopping etc etc

[@TakaAlive]

my dream would be to dance to this at my wedding someday, gosh, what a fantastic song, so much passion and love!!!

[@Roseforthethorns]

If I marry a man, I definitely want this at my wedding.

[@neveralonecoaching]

I cannot get enough of this song. It’s splitting my soul in two and cracking light out of my body. It is so powerful.

[@niaa0202]

Anyone else get a giddy happy feeling SEEING them sing? Like watching them do what they love reflects off and gives you just crazy awesome energy and happiness?

[@carolinebergmark8161]

“A Hundred Days” still gives me goosebumps and brings me to tears. The chords. The tempo change. The lyrics. The delivery that is super charged with positive energy. Brilliant.

[@shipsandchips4904]

This is one of the best things I've had the pleasure to listen to. As someone that aspires to write, this song is so inspiring. It sounds like the resolution to a bright, treacherous journey. It sounds like a joyful beginning to a new chapter.

[@Carols989]

everytime I feel too lonely, too bad, too hopeless I remember this song and think: can't give up know, I'll dance to this with my loved ones in a field someday, and while the sun heats our napes i'll forgot I even felt like that once

[@julietma]

You're such wonderful performers and I hope you're holding up OK without being able to play live. My partner is a musician and this part of the pandemic is really getting to him. I hope soon you and he and all the musicians will be able to get up on stage and make your magic again.

[@sethagardner]

Love your energy and musicality - just falling in love with what you guys do.

[@sacredflowspace]

Ditto

[@gloriamc8385]

Just discovered The Bengsons and I'm blown away by everything they do! More please!

[@sareger4948]

SAME

[@xkweenxbeex]

I think I forgot what air is this whole song. The absolute sweetness in Abigail's voice at 2:32 followed by that thing she does at 3:09. My breath is fully taken.🥰🥹

[@sareger4948]

This is quite literally one of the best songs I've ever heard.

[@xelamercedes]

This is crazy! Who are these people? Exploded into my life for the first time via a shared link about 3 hours ago and I'm just never going to be same. How can it be that we've all heard of Beastie Boys but not Bengsons? Insane!!!

[@Heather51502]

I come back to this song often, and I'm amazed every single time. I can feel the emotion in every artist in this masterpiece.

[@rochelleisaacson9246]

How many times can I listen to this song on repeat and scream the lyrics in my car!?!?!? ❤❤

[@bluegummybear8667]

im absolutely Obsessed with the tempo changes in this song

[@tonyreynolds2328]

That brought tears (of joy) to my eyes during the climax of the song! Wonderful! Amazing!

[@jesgep]

This is one of my most favorite "musical theatre" songs and to see you all perform it like this is incredible. The energy and passion and love on display. More! (Also, please tour this show.)

[@ijlayugan4149]

Yall awesome 3:09 CHILLS

[@pearlgrey9419]

Well, that was the freakin most incredible thing I have seen in a very long time!!!!!!!! Mil Gracias!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@IndigoFalls1212]

Sometimes, voices and spirit and joy and possibility and despair fill all the spaces in our hearts. Thank you for doing this with your music. You are loved, appreciated, heard and seen.

[@NinaHirlaender]

You two are bound to be famous. Only a matter of time. Wow. So much heart and joy. Keep going

[@alimaythedreamer]

You know I find there’s only one thing wrong with the bengsons… once you hit the like button, you can’t just keep hitting it because it unlikes it. Every time I watch them I just wanna like it again, but I’ve already liked it. Can’t get enough of this, and them ❤❤❤❤ Fave part in this song is when Shaun sings the solo piece “I hold all the shards that make her”… this incline in his voice I love that, and then the following section where Abigail just blows my mind with her “bright light” scream… oh I get ASMR every time from that section in this song. So much love to the bengsons, their music and all they stand for feel so good!! ❤ Thank you Shaun and Abigail ❤

[@JurianHughes]

Your level of commitment and passion is palpable and SO FREAKING FANTASTIC!! Keep up the phenomenal work. It is outrageous, moving, joyous , heartbreaking and mesmerizing all at once.

[@unfazed1363]

The vocals after 1:36... just.. wow

[@liezart-9502]

I don't even have the words for how much this lifts me up

[@jilltrufant7177]

I've been missing my favorite music festival, Shakori Hills, in Silk Hope, NC, which usually would have happened last weekend. Listening to this song, I feel transported to a late night dance tent and the feeling of communal joy I've experienced there. I hope I can see you live sometime in the future. But for now, thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@DanilaSW2011]

All of you guys are fantastic. The Keep Going On Song is beautiful... and powerful. How is this not going viral? Let's work on that, people!

[@veronicamilne9569]

The man with the accordion... .beautiful

[@patriciabateson5676]

Your voices are incredible. I am loving your music... thank you.. thank you

[@shelleyreynolds7769]

Beautiful! Just saw their Tiny Desk "try out" tape.. OMG

[@couch_poto]

When there's only drama in your life at the moment and you feel really down... Suddenly, you find this song and for almost a whole 4min you can forget all the stress around you and just find happiness and love in your heart ❤❤ thank you so much, this song ist amazing!

[@jennifercontoplianos6634]

All I can say is WOW...love the vibe/beats/harmony. Glad I fell into this today.

[@bohohumanbeing2623]

[@dominiqueweemaes8343]

I want a band that can’t tell the difference between fun in rehearsal and fun on stage … cause it’s all too fun for them

[@elspethfougere9683]

(I think some of the footage is in a recording studio, some on stage performing live 😊)

[@Shaeribb]

[@MOSSISM]

I don't know what it is, but this song just makes me feel so alive- and I'm so glad there are many others who feel the exact same way- and we all can feel alive together

[@Kings_Jest]

Such a good song

[@mysticalzenith8895]

I so very rarely comment (shame on me) and this time I had too. I listen to this song a lot. forward it to people when they are low and need a cathartic yell/cry/wail/dance. I found myself going automatically to the video today after a very harring emotional morning. So.... Thanks for creating a song that release and moves my soul in a way that heals me!

[@jgeddy58]

Wow, such energy!! I love them!!

[@heart_of_light4195]

Greetings from Germany. You are amazing!

[@thefinalfrontear]

i’m throwing a fit over the fact i’m not running through a field of wildflowers with the love of my life in a long dress right now

[@SoyBrig]

Daaanngg!! There’s so few comments because Wow..... I mean. .. What can you say?! My gosh. Amazing. Beautiful. Glorious.

[@anjabasenach1676]

What a POWER!! Ingredible.... Thank you for this great song!

[@theonlylydiayouknow]

Man. I was sitting in my desk chair fist pumping singing with you guys. I got on your channel from a friend sharing the keep going on song; and I am in love with your whole vibe.

[@sarahruthsarahruth4847]

[@THEpamstevens]

New fan here thanks to my daughter….THIS. Gave me the chills and tears at the same time. Shaun’s& Abigail’s voices are both wonderful; Abigail’s range combined with those other things that you do with your voice are magical and energising and want to join in!! Yowwww!

[@unfazed1363]

3:10 wowwwwwwwww

[@thewetlaundrythatsstilliny5031]

i always thought it was "we are stars we can't burn forever" in an "eventually it gets better and you just have to keep going" way but it turns out it's "we CAN burn forever" :( . i am still going to keep it as my truth

[@rebeccalowry7130]
