"When I'm With You" - Ben Rector with Cody Fry and the National Symphony Orchestra

[@TaniPolanskyMusic]

My wife, 7 month old son, and I flew all the way from California for this. Cried my eyes out the whole time. What a gift you both are 🙏🏻❤️

[@czechyrslf]

I beg of you to invite them back. 🙏🏽

[@ashleyvaughan5512]

Ben Rector, you should put this version on a record. 🔥

[@extremejosh9899]

Anyone else listening to this like 5 times a day?

[@benjaminbachman]

yup!

[@jimmy_oz]

Ditto

[@kevingreen4952]

If this were released on Spotify, it would be the runaway top song in my 2023 Wrapped.

[@letyciavieira7274]

mine too, for sure!

[@johnrump2281]

As a musician myself, i'll tell you this: these guys are the REAL DEAL. With so much digitized sound and artificial instrumentation out there, there's NOTHING like real musicians, playing well composed music on real instruments backed by a real orchestra of incredible musicians. It's why they move people so much. Seeing this show in Minneapolis in June. Cannot wait!

[@emmae8164]

Had the wonderful opportunity to be at this show live with my sister and I cried listening to this. Love the lyrics and the emotion.

[@TopThrillNagster]

I was with my sister too and cried as well! 😂 What a way to start out such a magical and memorable night!

[@DrummyHead]

This should be an entire album. His songs but accompanied by an orchestra… Don’t know why more artists do collaborations like this!!

[@GetAwayWithBK]

Cody Fry does! Just not Ben. Yet...

[@PeterLewysPreston]

Because it’s incredibly expensive to record with an orchestra. And for most artists it’s just not in the realm of affordability. And since almost nobody buys albums anymore and streaming revenues are so low they’re basically negligible, it’s a losing deal. Unless an artists gets a sponsorship (or multiple) recording with a full symphonic orchestra remains wishful thinking.

[@starbuk138]

@@PeterLewysPreston Makes you wonder how Cody affords it?!

[@НадеждаКирюшина-щ1у]

Очень хорошие музыканты! Браво! Слушаю в России! Артистам оркестра низкий поклон! Прекрасная музыка! Привет с Кавказа!

[@carlospeguero4986]

That french horn rip at 3:36, no idea why but i love it

[@LukeBosma]

Just saw them in Grand Rapids, MI. The sound is amazing on this recording, but even better in person. The sound just hits you like a wall. Nothing else like it. Also a testament to Ben Rector's songwriting that literally all of these songs sound like they could have been done with the symphony from the start.

[@Angie-fd3zc]

I was there and it was amazing wasn’t it!

[@bodeyjamison7096]

I was too! It was truly incredible!

[@dulmi2317]

Ditto!

[@dulmi2317]

I think Cody Fry's orchestration of these songs is simply incredible. He's got a gift.

[@Culture0Vulture]

I've listened to this several times now, and it stirs something deep in my soul. I've seen Ben and Cody several times live, and this is the very best they've ever sounded. Please oh please release the shows as both an album and a film!🤞👏💓

[@brennadryl]

Oh. My. Goodness. This song is so breathtakingly beautiful… I’m speechless

[@david-antoniuk]

Epic 4 against 3 in the orchestra! (3:28) I listened back to that section about 12 times in a row. 😁

[@asiansplenda]

Ben's reaction too

[@willselden7707]

I don’t know how they could resist playing that in every chorus once they discovered it

[@Ashnimates22]

Who else was at the byu spectacular years ago with Ben rector? 🙋‍♀️

[@ShanghaiTex]

I was there and I still can't believe it. I feel so honored to have had the incredible opportunity to be there. I've seen lots of concerts in my 38 years on this earth but this is honestly in the top 5.

[@mrsshaffer10]

If I saw this live I would bawl my eyes out! Love this arrangement.

[@Natypsm]

I need this in Spotify 🥹

[@emilycosta9804]

I can't stop listening to this. It's so captivating with the orchestra. Absolutely beautiful.

[@kevincatalan4621]

What a song! Am loving it!

[@benjaminbachman]

Has to be one of, if not thee best concert I have seen in my entire life. :)

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Was also lucky enough to be at the show on the 25th. My wife and I traveled from St. Louis to see this and it didn't let us down. We talk about it daily! I'm SO HAPPY we get to hear at least a part of the show again!!

[@sanenkichu7988]

Two of my favourite artist together.

[@GodsgalMN]

Ben - with the magnificent orchestra behind you, the touching lyrics are expressed dramatically to accurately reflect the words you are singing. When I'm With You: is breath taking in this special version. Ty. ♥️

[@SGRealEstateGuy]

Epic.

[@JacksonCampbell]

Why is this not on Spotify?

[@julieburley9253]

❤️❤️❤️

[@baileygrib]

Does anybody know the time signature for the orchestration? Watching Cody’s leg bouncing 16th notes while the conductor is on a different cycle (I think?) accentuating the 2 and 4 beats rather than the downbeats
