The content of this educational video is covered by fair use. My work is transformative and adds interpretation and analysis to the original work much as happens when I teach poetry in a university classroom. When I explain songs, I rarely use more the lyrics or short clips of the original song or music video and do not hurt the song’s salability or provide a market substitute. All copyright claims will be disputed and appealed. Please see me as your ally as I use a literary perspective to enable fans to understand and enjoy your wonderful and interesting piece of music.

Well, i wasn't expecting this at all. I'm a big fan of Alec and this got me by surprise

Have you heard Gabriel by Alec? It was one of the firsts I recommend for you the videoclip is so cool.

This is a very good analysis of an interesting song, although I have to disagree with one sentiment of it. When I listen to the song and read the lyrics, it sounds more like someone who isn't happy with their decisions regarding a past relationship (like you said) but is simply looking at the other person being happy and fabricating their misery. I feel like this is someone watching someone else they have feelings for, and is desperately envisioning that they are actually in a bad place (in this case saying that this other guy is being inappropriate where there's no evidence that it isn't consensual between him and this girl) just to make himself (Benjamin) the hero in his own mind.

I am happy that you have chosen this song to explain by him, I love his voice and the way he almost always tell a story... Water Fountain is one of my favorite songs by him, I also love Boy In The Bubble, If We Have Each Other, I Built A Friend, 1994, and If I Killed Someone For You... He has so many good and catchy songs.
