THE ALBUM IS COMING MAY 29TH !!! pre order here : alecbenjamin.lnk.to/TheseTwoWindowsID

Alec Benjamin reminds me of a traveling singer who goes to different towns to tell old tales and stories for a hot meal or a place to stay. That vibe of each song being a kind of allegory

Alec's songs is so meaningful that's why I like them

There's gotta be a reason why this guy writes the best songs

*"He was on the front line, stranded on the beach, crawling to his best friend floating in the sea, but he didn't make it, he still cant believe, how arbitrary fate is."* 💔😭

Message to Alec: I can't really describe how much I like your music. It's so unique. Thank You ^^

Alec is underrated, he deserves so much more!!

Before he become any more famous WE WERE HERE BEFORE THEM ALLLLL | \/

my siblings think his music is too depressing i say its just storys that no one wants to talk about but alec puts it in the most beautiful way possible.

*Alec released a song *Me* : Today's a lucky day :)

i love Alec because his songs aren’t all “boy girl let’s make out and i love you baby”, they have meaning, like, DEEP meanings. i love his music so much.

“I knew a boy who liked to draw, he drew pictures that nobody saw. He was most artistic late at night, in the bathroom out of sight. He kept a secret no one knew, he didn't tell a soul and his gallery grew. His drawings were different, no paper or pen but needed a bandage now and then. We stood by the river under the stars, he rolled up his sleeve and showed me his scars. He felt embarrassed and looked down at his shoes. Then I rolled up my sleves and whispered 'i draw too'.”

There's gotta be a reason why I'm so attracted to this song

Alec has no bad songs I swear!

There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on earth, there's gotta be a reason they gave me this math homework

I just found this after deciding to listen to every Alec Benjamin song and now I love this

Alec: Autotune? Oh no we don’t know her. ❤️

Theres a haunting feel to this melody.. it's incredible

“Crawling to his best friend floating in the sea, but he didn’t make it” That just hit me so hard because I picture myself in that scenario, and seeing my best friend die. I seriously can’t handle that. This song in incredible Alec.

As someone with depression, I've constantly had moments in my life where it took everything in me to take myself out of a dark place, and remind myself that there's gotta be a reason that I'm here and that I'm alive. So, the chorus really hit close to home. I couldn't be happier to have heard this song when I was in one of those dark times, since it really felt close to my heart. This is my favorite song now. Honestly, I can't believe that he doesn't have more attention.

"crawling to his best friend floating in the sea, but he didn't make it" jeezz.... ouch

Is it just me or does it seem like he doesn’t have one bad song

THIS IS SO GOOD!!... o wait i have to listen to it first ._. (its going to be good anyway)

Alec's someone I can listen to when I'm upset something about his songs just calm me down

Laying in bed Tears in my eye I need to sleep But instead I cry Thoughts in my head Sorrow in my heart Wishing it would end But its just the start My eyes finally close My brain is at rest Life is now peaceful It is at its best I start to dream I find a new home The tears are gone I'm no longer alone

I'm a simple man,I see Alec I click

I love my gf I love Alec’s music I love coffee Did I mention I LOVE Alec’s music?

"we won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it" inspiring. this song helped me so much through tough times. loveee

Dude this songs seriously is so deep and hits far close at home for me. I keep going into a dark place and I remember that I'm here for a reason. Everyone is.

i want alec to be famous but at the same time, i want people to know I WAS HERE BEFORE THEM AH

An?? Album??? We’ve been blessed?????

don't give up on making music if you're seeing this, dont stop doing it you're amazing and almost everyone i know love you're songs

Yee Alec, there _gotta be a reason_ for why you're doing _Annabelle's homework_ . Maybe you're just the _boy in the bubble_ ? Damn, you gotta _let yourself down slowly_ . _If we have each other_ , just like we did in _1994_ , maybe you'll _swim_ to the _water fountain_ . I need help. Edit: i’m cringing so hard i am legitimately so sorry

Anybody else just listening to Alec's songs at 3 am because they can't sleep? His voice is so soothing :' )

This boy has an innocense voice with great talent

[Chorus] There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth? What's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in If we're going down together, better take another hit We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it [Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 1] Walking down to the burial ground With a sad song in his brain General Cloud is an old man now But it feels like yesterday He was on the front lines, stranded on the beach Crawling to his best friend, floating in the sea But he didn't make it, he still can't believe How arbitrary fate is, he says [Chorus] There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth? What's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in If we're going down together, better take another hit We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it [Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh You might also like Outrunning Karma Alec Benjamin Steve Alec Benjamin Let Me Down Slowly Alec Benjamin [Verse 2] She went down to her job in town With a sad song in her heart 33 with a wasted dream to become a movie star Living out a suitcase, serving at a bar Saving up some pennies, working after dark Is she gonna make it? She still can't believe How arbitrary fate is, she says [Chorus] There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth?

I really like the line “The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt.” It’s probably not what he’s referencing, but up here in Michigan it’s cold most of the year, and during the Winter, seasonal depression spreads like wildfire. It’s just beginning to get warm again, and I’m starting to feel a lot better, but the line just carries so much impact because even when everything gets brighter, you still feel like your own dark self.

I hope I find my reason. I've been really lost lately.

Gotta be a reason that alec is underrated

Gotta be a reason I finally found a singer like Alec Benjamin ;)

Alec writes reality. He's the best artist I've ever known. Just waiting when he becomes a huge singer like ed sheeran ❤

So I went to his concert on April 4th 2019 and I was vip. So I got to meet and take a picture with him. That picture is now my lockscreen and the first thing I do when I wake up is check my phone. I literally wake up with a smile on my face everyday. ❤️

It would feel great if you had a really comfy bed and had a really big window beside you and your listening to alec's songs at 6:00 AM With a really great view of the sunrise 😌

Alec Benjamin's music will never get old

omg imagine if Alec and Billie Eilish make a song together😍

I really hope this song ends up like 'Stressed out' from twenty one pilots. Few views in the beginning and after some time it explodes. Why? Because everyone should hear this masterpiece of a song

As the daughter of a military member, your line about the beach at Normandy really hits home, especially considering my father is deployed overseas, and though he is in no immediate danger, I can't help but crying the first time I heard that verse. Your song is very moving and well-constructed with harmonies and countermelodies in the accompaniment. I hope to hear you on radio some day.

My friend introduced me to his songs, and I absolutely adore them! He's the first singer I've heard who actually tells a story so clear I can picture it in my head, and I love all of the songs, which has never happened to me before with any singer before!

Alec is gonna be on the radio soon. If not those people who choose what songs are crazy. He needs more attention.

....everytime....he still does it...hes so amazing..he deserves everything good that will soon come to him. Talent is beyond what he has. Keep going!!!😁😂😍😍🔥🔥😂

My best friend, Hayden, showed me this song, he loved it, so I’m willing to bet it was his favorite song. R.I.P. to him 😭😭😭😭

The Like button isn't enough to Appreciate the BEAUTY of this song😭😭

“We won’t be here forever so let’s make the best of it” Words to live by ❤️❤️

"I was standing by the water fountain when I saw steve doing Annabelle's homework. They had to let me down slowly so that I would settle down and deal with the pain of not winning the paper crown. I looked into my mother's eyes and said if we have each other then we'll be ok. The knife in my back, from the boy who was in the bubble killed me. The boys name was Gabriel"

Idk why but I just pictured Alec Benjamin sitting in his living room and thinking about the world and then creating a song out of his thoughts.

Tickets for my world tour and special NY + LA shows are movin fast :0 . grab tix here: www.alecbenjamin.com/tour/

OMG I can't believe it! I randomly saw it in KZfaq and damn found it after 2 years. What a memories... I started crying. Thank you Alec for helping me in everything ❤

This guy is very underrated. I swear. His voice comes right out of his soul

Jeez, I can't help it! I'm forming a whole story for this album! Something about a previously bullied boy (boy in the bubble)who did everything for his girlfriend (Annabelle?), but all she did was use and abuse him emotionally. All he wanted to do was make her happy even though he knew it was hopeless, and he eventually committed suicide (if i killed someone for you). The other songs in the album kinda link it together, and he could have been born in 1994. Death of a hero also links to it, idk. I'm just a fan looking to much into it lol but its amazing how Alec can create stories like these.., damn:) EDIT: Slightly darker thought, but 1944 could be his thoughts as he is dying, i don't know. If We Have Each Other contradicts this whole thing but oh well lol

Love all your songs it gives me chills😊keep it up bro😘

Even if humanity is going down with music, Alec's music will remain pure and lovely Love your songs, hope you have a great life, Alec ❤

Despite the sorrow this song carries, it had comforted many people in their times of sadness. Not too many people are capable of creating songs like this.

The first song of you i heard is let me down slowly, then i find all of your songs to listen. Not surprisingly, im addicted to them.you are talented

I've only recently found you, but damn I love you

Hey Alec- not sure if you’ll see this but I have a story for you. This year is my friend David’s first Christmas with his adopted parents. He was living with his birth parents and his brother Rayn his whole life, until when he was 10 and Rayn was 14, his dad died. That affected his mom a lot. She started taking drugs to take her mind off of it, and eventually lost her house. They were living in tents or in their car for awhile, and their mom got worse. Eventually, David and Rayn were put up for adoption. David is 11 and Rayn is 15 now. They have an adopted little sister as well, Natalya. He’s adjusting very well for his circumstances, but every once in a while he still thinks about his mom, and how if she gave up drugs, she could have kept her sons.

I love the fact that this guy can find the words for things we all struggle with but never can say out loud. And that sounds so damn good!!

I wonder if he really feels this way all the time...He is such a good person and I cannot believe that someone would hurt him enough for him to write another song. I just wish he had something happy to write about... Alec, I love you.

Alec saves lives! His music helps people with depression, anxiety, & to just calm people down in general

How come I know this perfection now? How come no one ever told me about such wonderful song?

I remember listening to Alec's songs every day 3-4 years ago. He was such an inspiration for me, and he still is, even today when everything in my life is changed. Thank you for being my comfort, Alec Benjamin.

There’s definitely a reason that you are on Earth, To create a balance between you and the world, Life is all about experiences though a little rough, which makes us a better person, that what it’s worth. Bad is a must to survive only then the goods value is recognized, so with the change of seasons we should never forget the learnt, As it creates a better future for everyone living on earth.

0:54 this line hit me like a truck It sounds the the invasion of Normandy or d day Rip to all those who lost there life is on both sides of the battle

The reason I like Alec's songs is because the tunes are just perfect for the lyrics

me when it's 3am and i'm still awake: *there's gotta be a reason that i'm here on earth.*

I'm so proud that you were finally able to release this mixtape after getting dropped by your label. I've loved watching you grow as an artist and hearing the old songs I was obsessed with remastered. This is my favorite new song on the mixtape. Thanks for the music Alec and letting us be here to witness your journey! ❤️

Any song by Alec is my source of life. Almost literally. Any time depression hits hard I listen to Alec's music

This song deserves to have an official video

I think...This song is what's keeping me alive. It helps with panic attacks, heartbreak, anger and everything. This is the song that inspired me to cut my hair in my bathroom at 1 am and I'll always remember that.

ive been listening to your music for so long, and every song that comes out is just stunning

You did such a great job with not only this song but with Narrated For You as a whole. I honestly have no idea how the world went so long without hearing these Beautiful Masterpieces. You deserve so much more recognition and I’ll always be here even after the world finally wakes up and realizes the diamond they went so long without. Ilysm Alec and I so thankfully for everything you’ve done for not only be but everyone with your songs and just being yourself so thank you. I’m very proud of you and I can’t wait for all that’s to come. Congratulations on such a Beautifully created Album ♥️

The biggest reason I watch Fandom edits is to introduce myself to new, unique, off-mainstream music. I am very not disappointed, but saddened I wasn't here sooner. This is lovely

Alec you make me happy your music is my happiness without you I don’t know I would be lost and I feel like you are my super hero I want to say thank you I lost my aunt and I feel lost in my own mind I feel like you just know what I feel and what I need to pick me back up from all the hate and regrets in life although I know your busy with all you do in life you have time to help everyone you can in life your the most incredible thoughtful kind person I’ve ever meet thank you ❤️

Alec Benjamin- There's gotta be a Resaon 00:00 •-----------------------------------• 03:30 《 || 》

Alec is one of those artist who’s songs are all amazing. I could listen to him all day and never get sick of it.

I'm genuinely feeling the pain in his voice!🙂

I just happened to listen.. The book of You and I and now I love your all songs. They are great. Keep up the good work. Love from India🇮🇳 May God Bless you.

Definitely one of the most underrated artists out there. Alec deserves so much more recognition!💞

What are Alec's fans called???? Edit: Wow, thx for the likes and the comments😍😍👏👍😇

There’s gotta be a reason Alec is so good

I love this so much!! Alec Benjamin is so underrated! He should be broadcasted everywhere!!

Alec's stories that he tells through his songs are definitely something that no one has used so perfectly and powerful like Alec's does. He is amazing... Anyone agree?

Simple beats, catchy music, awesome lyrics, Alec's angelic voice can't say anymore😘

His songs aren't just songs. They are whole stories and i love it with my whole heart

bro this is dope as hell

man all of his songs make me feel like he gets it being depressed in love and not being loved back

alec has such a calm and amazing voice and i’m over here singing like a dying goose

One day you're gonna be very famous Alec, but we loved you before they did. I love all of your song and you in general.

Me: *Sad* Alec Benjamin's songs: *Some how makes me happy*

Alec I love your music and I'm going to do gotta be a reason for the grade 5 talent show. I honestly think you should have at least 10m subs. In grade 5 and 6 track and field I qualified for divisionals in 200 m,400m, 800m, 1500m long jump and triple jump while humming your songs in my head because they make me so much more confident. And you helped me do all that when I'm only 4'2. So thank you Alec for boosting my confidence and helping make my life easier.
