    I met him yesterday. He is very nice, he came into my work to see about promoting it ( i work with homeless youth at NWYS) he goes to different towns and picks a non profit and donates proceeds from his show in that town to the non- profit. I just have to say this guy is amazing and we are very greatful for his help. :) keep it up Ben your Awesome :)

    Listened to this song when I first drove off to tour my college over 8 years ago. Listening to this now years later. Moved overseas, making new memories. This song has a good way of sticking with me through life milestones. Thanks Ben :)

    I've never seen such a clear and distinct combination of love and beauty in offspring of the same. He is an amazing example of why we should follow our hearts and just let nature take it's course. Thank you, Carly and James.

    The Talent just shines through.. I love the chord progression and how he makes it his own.. has a familiar signature, brings a smile to the face of his family's admirers. Please continue to write like this, it carries the timeless sound of something very beautiful...

    This is one of my favorite songs on the Tube. It shows his amazing talent, yet makes you wonder - what happened? It must be crushingly difficult to live in the shadow of two musical giants.

    His uncle is Livingston, but more importantly, his dad is James Taylor and his mom Carly Simon. Talk about good genes...
    He sounds just like his dad. Love it!

    @Sumer61 11 років тому +1

    It doesn't rub off on you when you have musical parents as I did. You grow up thinking that is just normal, it's the way it is, and always has been, until you realize that not everyone has this blessing of music in their entire life, then it becomes even more special.

    I have a feeling that your UA-cam channel will surely succeed, so my heart is full. As the algorithm introduced, I just looked down and saw your video. UA-cam seems to be a backpacking trip and long-distance marathon to go far and far alone. I didn't know that your video was very good until I met your video. Your video shines so beautifully, but it's a pity that you can't easily meet it without the UA-cam algorithm. even after a long time
    I will remember your video deeply in my heart. The UA-cam world feels like running into a rough field. I think I met your video at the end of that hill where a rainbow more brilliant than jewels lives. The moment I watched your video, the first feeling was very good. I did. I think you will be happy in the morning because of your video today. It is a feeling that you will surely achieve the dream you want to wake up to in the huge UA-cam world. After watching your video, thinking about it now, your video came to the depths of my heart and instilled emotion and happiness in me. As you have worked hard for your dreams, I hope that your channel will gradually develop and become a very big channel. I am not lonely and I am so happy that I happened to watch your videos in the endless universe-like UA-cam world.
