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

You know what else I love about this song? It's the fact it isn't a song about a guy saving a girl with the power of romantic love (or sex). There's this huge narrative either dismissing or condemning girls in abusive relationships or girls suffering that the right man can take her pain away with "love." In this song, the narrator isn't trying to fix or save the girl with the power of anything. He's not insisting he understands what's going on with her or that he can save her, and he's definitely not taking advantage of her situation to make a move on her. He's just being a good person by telling her if or when she needs a friend, he'll be one she can turn to if she chooses. And if she wants to talk about it with him she can, but until that time is ready, he'll agree with her on her sentiment that it "must have been the wind."

“ I took the elevator” - Alec Benjamin standing in front of stairs

I heard someone say this was a bad song. Meh, must have been the wind.

I see this 2 ways: 1. A girl is going through some troubles at home and he (Alec we'll say) comes in to check on her. She isn't ready to say what is going on and so he agrees with the statement "Must've been the wind." He allows her time to get comfortable and tell him what's going on when she can. 2. He lives all alone, no friends or family to comfort him. He feels alone because of this and tricks himself into hearing something closeby to his neighbor. So he goes to check on them, asking if there was anything wrong and they reply, "Must have been the wind." Alec then goes back home to where he is lonely and needs a friend, where his mind tricks himself again. So in this it's not the neighbor in trouble, but the person telling the story because they need a friend and someone to talk to 3:

I love how he always tells a story with his music

And he is gonna be on Jimmy Fallon in like a week He finally gets recognition

We can talk about the noise when you're ready, but till then I'll say it must have been the wind, must have been the wind...... that's so perfect ❤️ the representation of take your time and tell me when you're ready.. absolutely beautiful I salute you Alec sir🙏♥️♥️

Discovered this song this morning and absolutely love it!

I miss when Alec was my own little secret... But he’s FINALLY getting the recognition he deserves!

When i'm sad i listen: *Alec* When i'm anxious i listen: *Alec* When i'm deppressed i listen: *Alec* When i'm in love i watch: *Alec* ❤

2:25 this part makes me cry everytime. This song is so deep and his voice is incredibly moving.

Anyone notice the importance of “Tell you” in the verse where it says “wish I could tell you about the noise, but I didn’t hear a thing”? Alec could of used many other forms to express the girl trying to say something, for example “talk” instead of tell you, but of course it just wouldn’t have the same impact. “Talk” would imply it’s a two way conversation, where both ends get a say in the situation. But tell you would mean that this girl just needs to let it out of her system, she just bluntly has to say to someone what she’s feeling, maybe not waiting for any verbal response in return, but more of a physical reaction. A think this small detail makes the whole song a lot more beautiful, it’s a crucial piece of information implying how this girl’s emotions are working. I just think it’s great

She named her cat *The Wind* 🌬🐈

Alec doesn’t just write songs, he writes a story along with it

I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine At first I thought that I was dreamin' But then I heard the voice of a girl And it sounded like she'd been cryin' Now I'm too worried to be sleepin' So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you" Sweater zipped up to her chin "Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" So I was layin' on the floor of my room Cold concrete on my back No, I just couldn't shake the feeling I didn't want to intrude 'cause I knew that I didn't have all the facts But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you" Sweater zipped up to her chin "Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me" Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me" Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say Promise I'm not playing tricks on you You're always welcome to come in You could stay here for an hour or two If you ever need a friend We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but 'til then I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

Mom: * uhm why is your brother outside on the ground?* Me: *mustve been the wind*

Alec is a literal angel. i love him so much omg

Farts* Friend: what was that Me: idk must have been the wind

Friend: why's Alec always on the floor? Me: *Must have been the wind*

Can we take a moment to appreciate the genius of this song. It addresses a real issue and helps people, and is also just an amazing song. "We can talk about the noise when you're ready, but till then I'll say it must have been the wind." You can't push someone to talk about a traumatic experience. You could hurt them more by doing that. You just have to make sure they know that you are there for them.

i like how his music always tells a story like i just lay in bed with the lights out and picture it

Mom: Are you playing music last night? Me: Mom I think your ears were playing tricks on you. It must have been the wind 😁

What a beautiful message. Victims can’t always leave and often suffer from their abuse being seen by others

let me know what you think of the video below ! :) .. tix for my la & nyc shows are going fast .. grab em here alecbenjamin.com/tour

Me: *Sees Alec Benjamin released a new music video* Also me: _high pitch screaming_ My mom: WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING Me: *I think your ears are playing tricks on you*

The sound effect in " If you ever need a friend " is very calming..

Every Song you write, Somone must relate, you are so amazing Alec

mother; *screaming in the kitchen aggressively* me: must have been the wind

I don't know what but there's just something about Alec's voice. It's so soothing and speaks right to the heart.

A knocking going sound near my window. "Must be the wind" A rock hit the window. "Dat some strong ass wind." Another rock hitting the window. More rocks several rocks. Shaking starts. "IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

I heard this song playing in a restaurant today, and it made me so happy!! Plus the music video came out today!

I love his voice and the fact that he doesn't just sing but tells stories

So basically the girl is a dancer, and she was practicing in her apartment and she knocked something over and that was the glass shattering. She had the sweater up to her chin bc she had bruises from falling, but she didn’t want him to know because she was embarrassed. He just looks too far into things. jk im not stupid i know what its abt

WHY ISN'T THIS KID MORE FAMOUS?!?!?!

Alec: makes beautiful music with good lyrics which help several people Radio: break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored

these beats make me unknowingly happy and sad at same time :):

I wish I knew someone who would've shown that sentiment and humanity to myself, when I was their. I know it my sound selfish, but I prayed someone would be there for me but it wasn't to be. That is why I love this song since it connects to my soul.

The song's actually about a girl that was going through some problems bu wasn't ready to talk about them.

I'm so glad to see Alec maturing as an artist and getting the recognition he always deserved. Would love to collab with him some day! :)

Remember when he wrote “Worst day of my life” about being removed from his label. I bet they are having some real deep regrets right now.

This song is just pure beauty

Am i the only one who feels like Alecs music tells more of a story than any video or book? for reals tho he has an amazing voice

ｱﾝﾊﾟﾝﾏｧﾝ♪

2 things I have learned about alec Benjamin 1. He likes sitting on the floor (like in every video) 2. He nods his head alot But im not complaining because honestly he is an amazing singer and I love hes songs Edit: floor gang 4 lyfe 😂✌

Dear stranger whoever reads this: may your mother live over 100 years

アンパンマンすき

Doctor: You only have 2 minutes to live Me: Plays "Must have been the wind" by Alec Benjamin Doctor: But thats 3 minutes? *god:* ill allow it

*This man will 100% save your domestically abused girl*

I know this might sound weird but who else thinks alec's outfits look comfortable

Ngl, but this is one of those really beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life. I came across it randomly, now I just can't get this off my mind. All the time I am like, vibing, " must have been the wind, must have been the wind, must have been the wind, it must have been the wind". Honestly, how beautiful it went when he says, he isn't insisting but is gonna keep a door open for her to come and share what she is going through, and he doesn't know how long this might take, so he will be assuming it's the wind until then. How beautiful ❤️ Alec thank you so much for this beautiful creation ❤️🥰

Cop: Hey buddy, did you realize you went past a red light?!? Alec: Must've been the wind... Edit: WOW thx for all the likes 😊

Me: listening to this in class Teacher: *hears music* what was that ? Me: it must have been the wind ....

When the song touch your heart and make you get feelings that you cant explain, you know you're listening to alec benjamin because his songs are the only ones that touches the heart this deep

The fact that the girl in the video is dancing says so much. He isn’t painting her as a victim who needs to be saved. There’s no male hero complex here. He recognizes that she’s strong and he just wants her to know that he’s here for her whenever she’s ready.

Thought I was gonna sleep early but I guess Alec is gonna decide my sleep schedule now

I honestly though that the girl was being abused my someone... who agrees??

OKAY, THIS IS ENOUGH. DEAR ALEC BENJAMIN'S FANS, I have come up with an idea because I feel he isn't getting the attention that he deserve (if you are interested I INSIST YOU TO DO THIS TOO). - He will get more mainstream attention if he has a huge fan base! And for that we can do this little thing (if huge number of people do this, it can work remarkably well). So we all need to do this: - Apart from being his constant fans, COMMENT ABOUT HIM ON YOUR OTHER FAVORITE ARTIST'S SONGS AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE: "This is legit my next favorite song after My mind is a prison by Alec Benjamin" or something along the lines that doesn't look creepy y'know? YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE STUFF UP, just be honest about what you think about his songs and comment about that! The more people see it, the more likely it is that people will check out his work, and as we all know if you listen to this man's work once, YOU ARE BOUND TO BECOME A FAN. Because he is REAL. I don't know if this idea is good or dumb, but I know that I want to put in extra efforts for him! Hope you'll do too!

Such beautiful and meaningful song. During this era this is the first time I'm hearing such deep and soft songs and that's from you. 😭❤️

*me on a date* : me: “so what do you love to listen?” him/her: “Alec Benjamin, you?” me: “I LOVE YOU!”

Here's what I think: This video is not at all how the song writes itself. Alec is supposed to be taking an elevator, but he's on the stairs, the girl is supposed to be crying, and sweater should have been in fact, uptill her neck, but it's the exact reverse. She's taking off the very sweater, and looks happy dancing. It's just that, I think all this is in Alec's thoughts, that he'd go up the elevator, and she'd be crying, and he'd thus empathize and get a new friend. But in the very first and second line, he says he'd heard, glass shattering and that he was dreaming... That's exactly what it is. *Edit:* Or as pointed in one of the replies; 'Must've Been The Wind' refers to the dream that came to Alec. *Nothing in world seems to go the way we think, because, we always think for ourselves, but the world always pursues the greater good of everyone.*

Coming out of a DV relationship. This song makes me cry I love it so much

One of most well written songs of this decade. You've got some real talent man

I don't think Alec has ever released a bad song??? Even his demos are 💯💯 He's such a talented being 😭

I can’t wait!!! I’m gonna be watching a blank screen for an hour.

Must have been the wind

Alec's songs are such an underrated masterpieces that needs to get what they deserve!

Plot twist: He knocked on the wrong door

Never could a song make me cry so boldly, multiple times, like this one here.

I love this song because it's so true about how in abusive relationships, abusive parents, or just in a really bad position the person my lie to you.....plz check for the signs like the excessive sweating, because that is a sign of lying. Im glad he made a song about this where the woman or man has someone to go to or a safespace

“Sweater zipped up to her chin” **Tight crop top**

I heard glass shatter on the wall In the apartment above mine At first I thought that I was dreaming But then I heard the voice of a girl And it sounded like she'd been crying Now I'm too worried to sleeping So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall And then I knocked upon her door She opened up And I asked her about the things I've been hearing She said I think your ears are playing tricks on you Sweater zipped up to her chin Thanks for caring sir that nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing She said it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind She said it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind So I was laying on the floor in my room Cold concrete on my back No I just couldn't shake the feeling I didn't want to intrude Because I knew that I didn't have all the facts But I couldn't bear the thought of leaving her So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall And then I knocked upon her door She opened up and I asked her about the things I've been hearing She said I think your ears are playing tricks on you Sweater zipped up to her chin Thanks for caring sir that nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing She said it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind She said it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind Aim my boom box at the roof I'm playing lean on me Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she hears the words I hope she knows she'll be Okay Aim my boom box at the roof I'm playing lean on me Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she words I know exactly what I'll say Promise I'm not playing tricks on you You're always welcome to come in You can stay here for an hour of two If you ever need a friend We can talk about the noise when you're ready But til then I'll say it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind I'll say it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind

I'm literally obsessed with his songs🥺 the way he intrepet the story through the songs is kinda difficult but he does it soo incrediblyy💜Hatss off to u man💜

0:09アンパンマン

This song has a very beautiful concept and lyrics are as awesome as always. 😌

he's so underrated :( attractive and angelic voice

"Thanks for caring sir that's nice of you but I have to go back in" just hits different

i like how this music video has such a pretty interpretation of the lyrics... my mind took me to a much darker place when i first heard them

Director: How soothing do you want your songs and music videos to be? Alec: *yes*

Another theory: Alec had someone really close to him who needed help facing same kind of scenarios. But she always said that it was not the case. But he realized that she needed help. When he moved to this house and heard something, he thought the girl living upstairs also needed help. But this time, it was actually the wind.

*me: hears something in the kitchen at the dead of the night *also me: must have been the wind, must have been the wind

This video is so simple but so beautiful! I love how every song Alec makes tells an amazingly written story - what an inspiration!

"U can stay here for an hour or two if u ever need a friend"

Me: “I’m early!!” Me: Sees comments from an hour ago. Insert Pikachu meme here*

The dislikes on this video. It must have been the wind.

This song sends chills through the soul.

My Mom: Honey you should really read and interesting book sometime! Me: *listens to Alec Benjamin*

For you to sing along 🙂 I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine At first I thought that I was dreamin' But then I heard the voice of a girl And it sounded like she'd been cryin' Now I'm too worried to be sleepin' So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you" Sweater zipped up to her chin "Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" So I was layin' on the floor of my room Cold concrete on my back No, I just couldn't shake the feeling I didn't want to intrude 'cause I knew that I didn't have all the facts But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you" Sweater zipped up to her chin "Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me" Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me" Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say Promise I'm not playing tricks on you You're always welcome to come in You could stay here for an hour or two If you ever need a friend We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but 'til then I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

The ghost trying to kill me Me: Ohh must have been the wind

This is such a powerful song. As someone, who has here or there been the only support a person had, it had me in tears. It's so well done and subtle, not forcing help, just letting know, that the option is there, which is the best way to help someone. Alec knows, what he's talking (singing) about.

Not me singing like I relate when I've never even been in a relationship.
