"Just Like Me" - Ben Fankhauser

[@dramaismylife2017]

Both he and his voice have ruined my expectations for men forever. Love Ben!

[@akirasweat1998]

Exactly. Me too😆😆

[@gennyd3866]

Me too omg .... I love him a little too much I think lol

[@macagewiahalen2786]

1:35 I literally almost fainted

[@femmeroo]

WELL DONE BENONCE!!!!

[@kaymarco8]

Okay but shuffle gave me this after "I Could Be Jewish For You" and I don't think that's a coincidence.

[@emilysoloway3894]

when he looks and smiles at the camera I'm dead omg 😍😍😍😭😭😭

[@baileybieganek2446]

I'm dead when he opens his mouth!

[@sydneydecoite3795]

2:41 I screamed then died then went to heaven then were brought back to life just so I could scream again!!! Love you Ben!!!!

[@evashifflett2048]

This gives me hope. His broadway debut was as a lead! A LEAD! He is truly an inspiration.

[@arcanelore3791]

How can a mere mortal have not only such an inhumanly glorious voice but also such a wholly beautiful face? Anyway, guess I'm straight now, oops.

[@leilanyx]

i've been bingeing loads of ben videos bc he's a goddamn angel, and i'm just sobbing over my laptop because we don't deserve this beautful, talented angel.

[@psychocolonelsanders1788]

thank you for putting it into words. he’s perfection.

[@juliarose8656]

if either of y'all need 72 videos of ben, here's my playlist of everything I can find, lmk if I'm missing something kzbin.info/aero/PLWN0r3-kCeKodqfcRRhbucRqA_yolNsW1

[@meliwass1330]

I wish Ben would record himself singing this! I would definitely buy it! So good!

[@TinyRagerNYC]

I feel this for so many of his songs. Like, "Belief"

[@laurahughes2530]

Awww...can't there be a Love button?!?!

[@kathunnicutt4643]

That guy behind him is JAMMIN’

[@kquigz16]

The riff and beauty at 2:42. omg.

[@femmeroo]

THE RIFFS!

[@shawnaspencestar01]

Yep. This is what love feels like.

[@shinyouhou]

Dad was there through my childhood strong and stern Teaching me how to stand tall what to learn he said walk it off know you can stand your ground be a man real men keep on fighting till they die oh now I know I was wrong you broke down you weren’t strong everything you told me was a lie I don’t know why oh you said to do as I say don’t do as I do well I saw what you did I’ve been doing it too Guess the winner called dad is a loser called you and I think you’ll agree oh you’re just like me *vocalizing* my mother said be a good guy speak your mind settle down with a good girl sweet and kind she said hold the door show you care treat her right son beware a lady never lets you see her shame oh now I see in your eyes all your secrets and your lies you are not the lady that you claim I’m so ashamed oh you said to do as I say don’t do as I do well I saw you what did I’ve been doing it too Now I wish I’ve been warned I’d grow up to be you cause I think you’ll agree you’re just like me every day parents all of their trying breaking the cycle living a lie everyday people playing the part right from the start *vocalizing Benonce riff (Male up your own riffs!)* you said to do as I say don’t do as I do well I saw you what did I’ve been doing it too I won’t make your mistakes and make them anew and I think you’ll agree you’re just like me you said to do as I say don’t do as I do well I saw you did I’ve been doing it too don’t mean that you failed cause I became you somehow I never knew but now I can see oh you’re just like me~

[@MichaelMottComposer]

LOL this is amazing. This was the first version before we re-wrote it.

[@asexualbert7262]

I appreciate the inclusion of "Benonce riff"

[@anexcitablehistorybuff9163]

"Ben Fankhauser, the voice of a god."

[@sethboeh6278]

Ben's voice really makes this but I just can't get over what an amazing song this is. It's in my head even when it's not. I'm like, one mental breakdown from getting the sheet music tattooed across my back.

[@MichaelMottComposer]

LOL, thank you for this! I support the sheet music tattoo! ;-)

[@xxobrittanyg]

Why has it taken me this long to find this?!??!! This song slaysssss

[@ajh193]

Ben Fankhauser is fantastic. I want to be his best friend.

[@sadielandesman2059]

Why is he such a perfect human? I MUST KNOW WHY!

[@luisserrass]

[@casiasage3940]

Ben: *gives me this glorious video* My dumb ass: g E l A t O

[@drewbertdoo]

I wish I could like this more than once.

[@missneatfreak2008]

Someone sign Ben! He's perfection

[@thefriendlyemo5744]

Elise Delos Santos I met him at the stage door of Newsies in and he was the best!

[@febrisatria4810]

Dad was there through my childhood, strong and stern Teaching me how to stand tall what to learn He said "walk it off know you can Stand your ground, be a man Real men keep on fighting till they die" Oh now I know I was wrong You broke down, you weren’t strong Everything you told me was a lie I don’t know why oh You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do Well I saw what you did. I’ve been doing it too Guess the winner called dad Is a loser called you And I think you’ll agree oh You’re just like me My mother said be a good guy Speak your mind Settle down with a good girl, sweet and kind She said, "hold the door, show you care Treat her right, son beware A lady never lets you see her shame." Oh now I see in your eyes All your secrets and your lies You are not the lady that you claim I’m so ashamed oh You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do Well I saw you what did. I’ve been doing it too Now I wish I’ve been warned I’d grow up to be you 'cause I think you’ll agree you’re just like me Every day parents all of them try breaking the cycle, living a lie Everyday people, playing the part, right from the start (Benonce Riff) You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do Well I saw you what did. I’ve been doing it too I will take your mistakes and make them anew And I think you’ll agree oh You’re just like me You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do Well I saw you did. I’ve been doing it too Don’t mean that you failed, 'cause I became you Somehow I never knew, but now I can see oh You’re just like me

[@kateprovance]

I'm just watching this for the first time in a long time and does anyone else realize that he's singing this with music in front of him, which means it's likely that he might be seeing the music for maybe the first or second time??? And those riffs off the cuff!?!?!?!? GOSH HE'S SO TALENTED.

[@MichaelMottComposer]

We rehearsed.

[@ruthm.7256]

This should be on iTunes

[@MichaelMottComposer]

It is. "Where The Sky Ends" by Michael Mott. It's the opening track.

[@macandrewman]

I must say, his "O's" are very round

[@laurahughes2530]

[@drewapicture5526]

real talk though: Is the guy behind him's hair red, or is it just the lighting?

[@Ky4Ln2]

Definitely asking the important questions :p. Seems like the lighting. It looks pretty brown across his face at 3:26.

[@arianacastaluccio-vilani2249]

Ok, but on a serious note; CAN I BE IMPREGNATED BY THIS BECAUSE.....♡♡

[@KCbeCasey]
