@@SheistyB3 as in a lot of people don't think k he's good. Most people I know don't know he writes the songs. Either that or they never heard his music and think he's not good
A lot of people don't understand this, but when we say Alec is underrated we don't just mean in views on songs like Water Fountain or Let Me Down Slowly. A lot of people know Alec's hit songs, but they don't really know the guy behind them and how genuine he is or that he writes his own songs. For example, when I bring up Alec by name most people dont't know him until I say he's the singer-songwriter of Let Me Down Slowly. Sorry if you don't understand, I just haven't seen a comment about this.
Yes!! This song has so much more depth than pretty much any other that I can think of currently. He's talking about a girl basically cheating on him but through a compassionate lense, it's so fascinating and wholesome, yet sad. So fucking underrated
Yeah for real he's so underrated He deserves more recognition His songs and voice is awesome 🤩 If not because of Jimin from BTS introducing his songs to us ARMY'S I wouldn't know him at all 🥺
I used to be like this,I just wanted to feel something,the one person i told about how I wanted to feel something ended up being the one to make me feel it,I loved him and still do,but I blew it,idk what happened I must've done something wrong,but I got what I wanted I loved and hurt.its not fun,you dont want it as you may think
Misty The Legend There’s nothing really *deep* about it he liked a girl she liked him thought they were too young realises he really loves her but she’s with someone else
this is exactly what im thinking, theres something in his voice, that can make u wanna love him, but dont get it wrong i got no intention what so ever, im straight, but idk, maybe straight fellas would fell for him as well instantly by his voice -_-
Can we just talk about how underrated Alec Benjamin is? I just found out about him kind of a month ago, and I can proudly say that he is my favourite male singer. And will be. Of course.
I love how Alec's outfit makes him seem for childlike, especially when he says that they were too young. I also want to go sit on my roof. Anyone have a ladder I could borrow?
I don't need a ladder, I just climb up the water tank (just as easy said as done) and boom. No-one will see me though cause I don't have any neighbours for at least a kilometer. (2/3 of a mile)
As a girl with an anxious attachment style from being neglected as a child, I had issues when I was younger where I would get too close to guys sometimes even without really wanting to because I was so desperate for affection and acceptance, and I've always felt ashamed and judged about that being part of my past. But this song kind of helps me see it for what it was - that I was young and scared to be alone at night (I spent months completely alone because my dad left on a lot of trips and it was just us two) and that it doesn't mean I'm a bad person. This song portrays so much compassion, I love it ❤️
Omg girl fucking same!!! I would secretly "fall in love" with a new guy every week just because I wanted to feel loved. Or like I'd put up with a lot of abuse from my so call friends just because I wanted to feel a connection with friends.
Wtaf guys-- How could people like me even exist??? I always thought I was alone. It looks like people face the same issues as me too. I am also a neglected child in my household so I want affection from outside world
Guys why don't we give a little appreciation to Alec Share his music to your friends, siblings, cousins, anyone whom you can. This may help him even in simplest ways
I've been listening to Alec for almost six years now, I think. I'd always been a fan of his voice and his lyrics, but this one has a special place in my heart. I was going through a really tough time in my life when it came out. On top of some serious family fallout, I had just gone through the loss of my first love. We had been best friends and they had been the first person I genuinely trusted with my whole heart. It didn't end well... I loved them but we were young and their parents weren't exactly forthcoming with support. Back then, I used to wonder, what if we had run away and built a life together as we talked about? What if we left everyone behind just so we wouldn't be judged? I know now that it wouldn't have worked, but with every word in this song, I remember those painful nights of never knowing or understanding why things had to end the way they did.
I feel like every emotion I have is expressed in Alec Benjamin's songs 😢😢😂 I love his songs and listen to them literally every day 👇 if you love Alec Benjamin
Why is this exact version not on Spotify??? I still listen to the one on Spotify but this one feels like magic when I put my earphones on.. idk how to explain 🥺
Damn, this is 6 years old already. I remember coming across this when it was first released, still such a great song. I'm glad to see he blew up, he definitely deserved it back then and now.
Just have to say: this dude can sing this dude plays guitar this dude plays piano this dude makes amazing music videos this dude is [extremely] cute this dude is an angel ***ALEC YOU ARE PERFECT HOW DO YOU DO IT*** that annoying edit everyone does: why does this have likes 😅 I’m over here fangirling and y’all are just like “YEP LEMME CLICK LIKE” 😂 I mean thx but why 😂 😂 😂
I can't be the only one who loves his hair xD it makes him look kind of boyish Edit: By boyish, I meant he looks YOUNG. P.S. thanks for the likes :) xD
Hey you, Yes you. Do me a favor. Stop scrolling. Just stop. Breathe. Everything is going to be alright. Relax. We can get through this. No matter how hard things may seem right now... Its going to be okay.
I remember when this song released. I never realized how early on I found Alec. This was back when I mainly listened to nightcore in middle school. I listened to all of his songs in nightcore at the time, but coming back to this song out of my nightcore phase 5 years later is just so nostalgic and nice. I was really surprised to hear more ppl knew Alec, not bc I didn’t think he was good enough, but bc I just never thought abt it. I remember when I first listened I immediately fell in love with his voice, I suppose it’s only natural that everyone who hears his voice feels this way. I’m glad Alec is still releasing music. I should go listen to all his older songs for old times sake. I remember crying all the time at night to Pretending lol
I too loved the original versions of these songs so much when they came out and I was barely a teen. Coming back feels like being in a time machine and Alec’s songs really got me through a few tough years
Okay, I never wanted to be the girl who went online to go cry to random people, but I just needed to get this out. A week ago, this song was just an amazing and deep song to me. Now it's a reminder. Two days ago, my girlfriend cheated on me with a man. I've been cheated on before, and I have had breakups before. But they were nothing like this one. I loved this girl so much. She said she loved me too. And we were getting really serious. About a week ago, she asked which one of us would propose. She was perfect. She was strikingly beautiful and had a strong presence. When she walked into a room, everyone's heads would turn to her. She was smart, and had he perfect balance between emotion and logic. And she was very caring towards everyone and very open-minded. I loved her so much, when she cheated, I was willing to give her another chance. She said no. We should just break up. I don't know what I did wrong. I bought a her gifts, spent time with her(but left enough time for her to spend with friend and family), and treated with all the kindness in my heart. And she did the same for me. She said, "That morning, I woke up and suddenly... I wasn't so lovestruck anymore." We had been dating for 3 years. You know, it was always my greatest fear, that one day, the people who loved me would wake up and suddenly not be able to see past any of my flaws. And to be honest, I'm not that mad at her for cheating. People as great as her deserve other great people, not me. She once told me she thought we were soulmates. And today, I was going to propose. Now I'm spending today alone at home. I just needed to get this out.
Ms. Nobody I'm so so so sorry. Please don't say this was your fault, it's not your fault. This isn't your fault at all. She wasn't the right one for you, but that's okay. You two must have really loved each other, and you still do. I promise she doesn't see you as just nobody. You two spent three years together. You love her, still, and that's completely okay. Please remember after the tears and pain of loosing her, and even when you're still hurt, remind yourself that you **are** worthy of love and happiness. You are. This isn't something she gave to you- she didn't add value to who you are, you are valuable just as you, just as you are. Please don't be afraid to say that, and don't be afraid to love yourself without any shame or guilt. You are a human being. You deserve love. I promise. You might find it hard to see that now but it's true, I promise. And you will see it one day, and maybe even now you do, but you feel too hopeless to see it. Soon, you will. And it's your truth. Please don't grieve forever, do things with your family and friends. You need time to heal but also time to remind yourself of all the beautiful and fun things there are to do. Spend time with family, learn a new hobby- piano, a sport, skiiing, swimming, reading, maybe talk about your feelings, and sometimes do nothing at all. Things will get better, okay? They will :) you will find someone you loves who adores you, but that is not what gives you worth or makes you complete. It's you, as you are. You're perfect. Go listen to Perfect by Pink and let yourself heal. Take care. You need love, and that love needs to come from within. So please love yourself. Okay? Things will be okay :)
zain Thank you so much for your kind words. I have always had trouble loving myself. I guess that is why I am so clingy, because I use all my love on others. But people hate clingy people. I know that people need space, but that is just how I am. As I said, nobody like clingy people. So nobody stays with me very long, that's why I am having so much trouble moving on. What if I don't find anyone else who can put up with me? Moving on is nothing new, but it never gets easier. Life's great, but can be a real bitch.
Idk but every time he got to the “Grabbing her hips...” parts I was so mesmerized. Like his voice is so soothing and this song has so much meaning! I wish there was an animated version 😍
I love how after years, some songs still have their listeners, while some songs won't be listened from the start. Or some songs get reborn after years, it will be like bringing back all the memories and feelings you had while you were listening the song back in time....
THE_ BOT I’m in the same boat. It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also comforting to know that she is happy with someone who treats her well, even if it isn’t me.
THE_ BOT I did. I wrote her a letter telling her how I feel. She didn’t reciprocate, but we’re still friends. So long as I get to be with her in some way, I’m happy. ^_^
I'm so glad I found his music whrn I did a couple of years ago His music is so genuin and deep yet so pure and heartbreaking It's like his music can touch my mind and soul at the same time and just acompony me whenever I'm sad
So, I just found your account today and I've fallen in love with your voice and music. You're songs are amazing, catchy, and carry an interesting story line like all songs should be. Good job, can't wait to see more!
'Paper Crown' showed up in my recommended and I watched it a week ago. I saw it today and am now venturing down the rabbit hole of your songs. Thanks for replying, I've never had someone I found interesting on UA-cam talk back :)
For anyone who wants to play this on guitar, here's how :) - Standard Tuning - Capo 1st Fret - - Verse Chords and Strum Pattern - C, Am, G, D/F# Single ↓ strum for each chord! - Pre-Chorus Chords and Strum Pattern - C, Am, Em, D/F# Single ↓ strum for each chord! - Chorus Chords and Strum Pattern - C, Am, G, D/F# C, Am, Em, D/F# C, Am, G, D/F# (x2) ↓↓↑↓↑↓↓ for each chord! Hope this helps out! If you get stuck or need a little extra help, I just posted a video guitar lesson for this on my channel :)
Not gonna lie, this song hits on a personal level. I suffer from depression and I was in one of my deep depressions and had a breakdown and went to my best friend who I liked but she was already taken. And I talked to her and my depression lead me to say some bad things and she basically said goodbye and blocked me. My heart hurts so bad because I liked her and she liked me but like the lyrics, I was to young, anyways I know nobody probably cares about some random comment but I just wanted to get this off my chest. Edit: thank you guys so much for the support. Since I posted this comment I have gotten better. I have been doing good with life. I know im just some random guy but for what its worth, thank you guys so much😁😁
Your voice is so soft and attractive. A collab with Billie Eilish would be so amazing. I just found your songs a couple days before and I am in love with all of them! :)
This song is one of the best songs my ears have ever come upon to. Thank you for making my life easy with your beautiful voice Alec I hope you make it really far with the amazing music you make.
Lyrics: She told me that she loved me by the water fountain She told me that she loved me and she didn't love him And that was really lovely 'cause it was innocent But now she's got a cup with something else in it It's getting kind of blurry at a quarter past ten And he was in a hurry to be touching her skin She's feeling kind of dirty when she's dancing with him Forgetting what she told me by the water fountain Now he's grabbing her hips, and pulling her in Kissing her lips, and whispering in her ear And she knows that she shouldn't listen And that she should be with me by the water fountain She couldn't be at home in the night time because It made her feel alone, but at that time she was too young I was too young I should've built a home with a fountain for us The moment that she told me that she was in love Too young I was too young Too young, too young, too young And if she ever goes back to the water fountain The handle will be broken and the rust set in But my hand, it will be open and I'll try to fix it My heart, it will be open and I'll try to give it Now I'm grabbing her hips, and pulling her in Kissing her lips, and whispering in her ear And I know that it's only a wish And that we're not standing by the water fountain Too young, too young, too young She couldn't be at home in the night time Because it made her feel alone But at that time she was too young I was too young I should've built a home with a fountain for us The moment that she told me that she was in love Too young I was too young Too young, too young, too young I should've built a home with a fountain for us The moment that she told me that she was in love Too young I was too young
The song describes my first love. We were both young and madly in love. She got tempted and everything broke. I waited for her and trusted her, just to be let down. The song reminds me of the bittersweet times...
Moxyar I’m glad you could move on! My brain is still developing (I’m still a teenager) and I don’t think I could handle stuff like that right now especially with everything else I’m juggling but props to people like you who can move on and do the right thing.
this is my fourth time in a row playing this song... it's weird because usually the lyrics and message are really important to me but i'm not even listening to the lyrics, the _way_ he sings is just so good, idk how to describe it, like not just the melody and idk what it is but i love it
@@dustymaxwell8305 damn people that been there since that song just dropped are real OG Its really fascinating me that its been 5 years now Time flies fast
I think this song is about how this boy lost someone he loved. The girl told him that she loved him by the water fountain, but he ended up rejecting her because he thought they were too young. She ends up getting with someone else, and forgets what she told him at the water fountain. After this, the boy realizes that he really did love her, but it was too late. He let her go, and now she’s gone. They forgot what they told each other at the water fountain.
Hi, I was wondering what you meant by "it's a lot deeper than it seems" and "i can never look at it the same"? Because the lyrics are a kind of mystery to me lmao (seriously I don't really understand the implicit meaning of the lyrics)
The lyrics have such a deep meaning oof... hits hard 🥺 In case u wanna know what it’s about: A boy (him) was in love with a girl, and she was with him. The girl confessed to him but he wasn’t really ready for a relationship and too shy i guess :/. But then, when he was ready, the girl already moved on to someone else... Hope you understand better the song now :)

Hes got such an amazing range
Yes. The first time I listened to one of his songs on audio I thought he was like 16 or something lol.
He’s like that one kid in the back of your class who is really innocent with not a lot of friends but honestly because he’s so DAMN cute 💞🥺
._. u r right.....
Lol ik
I eat rocks
This is actually so true though lol.

His voice is so pure, his words deep.
His style is unique.

Alec Benjamin is the most underrated artist ever. His music is soo good but no one really knows that it's him
SoccerstarLFC9 Hi underrated????
@@SheistyB3 as in a lot of people don't think k he's good. Most people I know don't know he writes the songs. Either that or they never heard his music and think he's not good
Yes.
And his voice is so good without auto tune...
I think he need more attention from the audience
Yeah, I love all lot of his songs
severly agreed
you're adorably awkward.... i want to hug you.

The Dork Lord he is cute
The Dork Lord I like his voice too it's nice
hes got a baby face.. so cute
The Dork Lord true
Anyone else get the feeling that all his songs are connected
I mean I think the album is about his mom. Idk . album is called Narrated For You
Maybe cause the same Singer is singing all the songs? Idk it could be a possibility
I LITERALLY JUST HAD THAT THOUGHT BEFORE I CAME ACROSS THIS OMFG LOL
Josue Barrera the album is about his life so far hes narrating his life for us in songs
@@Idontcare-he9cq a good amount of his songs are actually about others' stories. Like must have been the wind and stan
Can you believe the girl he wrote this song for is married now /he wrote this song 6 years ago like wow
Now that's a fact
Wonder who it was about? Seem like Alec has had his heart broken a lot or at least in his song lyrics.
Ya mean 4 years ago?
Wtf! That is one strong willed woman!!
RobloxPuppyQueen || No , 3 , almost 4 tho
Alec benjamin is not just a great singer, it feels like all his songs are stories or is it just me?
Its true stories about his life
YuP every single one is like an individual little story where he shares experiences.his or others
Yep, he even admitted somewhere that if he had to describe his music with one word it would be "stories"
Ur so right tho!!!!
i feal that too

i haven't experienced any heartbreak yet i want to cry while listening to this song
I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG
It gives you this memory you never had and even though you may have had nothing like this, you relate to this somehow.
I broke someone's heart when I was younger and am now drowning in my mistakes and sorrows
Don't anticipate heartbrake it hurts...alot

The lyrics are honestly so soothing, even if it has such a deep meaning.

I've been listening to Alec for almost six years now, I think. I'd always been a fan of his voice and his lyrics, but this one has a special place in my heart. I was going through a really tough time in my life when it came out. On top of some serious family fallout, I had just gone through the loss of my first love. We had been best friends and they had been the first person I genuinely trusted with my whole heart. It didn't end well... I loved them but we were young and their parents weren't exactly forthcoming with support. Back then, I used to wonder, what if we had run away and built a life together as we talked about? What if we left everyone behind just so we wouldn't be judged? I know now that it wouldn't have worked, but with every word in this song, I remember those painful nights of never knowing or understanding why things had to end the way they did.
Yea

The girl he is singing about is married. What if her hubby loves this song without knowing it's about his wife?
What if her husband is the boy he is talking about? Not him, the other one.

I remember when this song released. I never realized how early on I found Alec. This was back when I mainly listened to nightcore in middle school. I listened to all of his songs in nightcore at the time, but coming back to this song out of my nightcore phase 5 years later is just so nostalgic and nice. I was really surprised to hear more ppl knew Alec, not bc I didn’t think he was good enough, but bc I just never thought abt it. I remember when I first listened I immediately fell in love with his voice, I suppose it’s only natural that everyone who hears his voice feels this way. I’m glad Alec is still releasing music. I should go listen to all his older songs for old times sake. I remember crying all the time at night to Pretending lol
I too loved the original versions of these songs so much when they came out and I was barely a teen. Coming back feels like being in a time machine and Alec’s songs really got me through a few tough years
Honestly feels like I wrote this comment... 😅
7 years later his songs and voice hit on a level that others can't.
Okay, I never wanted to be the girl who went online to go cry to random people, but I just needed to get this out.
A week ago, this song was just an amazing and deep song to me. Now it's a reminder.
Two days ago, my girlfriend cheated on me with a man. I've been cheated on before, and I have had breakups before. But they were nothing like this one. I loved this girl so much. She said she loved me too. And we were getting really serious. About a week ago, she asked which one of us would propose. She was perfect. She was strikingly beautiful and had a strong presence. When she walked into a room, everyone's heads would turn to her. She was smart, and had he perfect balance between emotion and logic. And she was very caring towards everyone and very open-minded. I loved her so much, when she cheated, I was willing to give her another chance. She said no. We should just break up. I don't know what I did wrong. I bought a her gifts, spent time with her(but left enough time for her to spend with friend and family), and treated with all the kindness in my heart. And she did the same for me. She said, "That morning, I woke up and suddenly... I wasn't so lovestruck anymore." We had been dating for 3 years. You know, it was always my greatest fear, that one day, the people who loved me would wake up and suddenly not be able to see past any of my flaws. And to be honest, I'm not that mad at her for cheating. People as great as her deserve other great people, not me. She once told me she thought we were soulmates. And today, I was going to propose. Now I'm spending today alone at home.
I just needed to get this out.
Ms. Nobody damn. I'm sorry that had to happen to you. Cheating is wrong, you don't deserve it!
Ms. Nobody I'm so sorry 😐
Ms. Nobody I'm so so so sorry. Please don't say this was your fault, it's not your fault. This isn't your fault at all. She wasn't the right one for you, but that's okay. You two must have really loved each other, and you still do. I promise she doesn't see you as just nobody. You two spent three years together. You love her, still, and that's completely okay. Please remember after the tears and pain of loosing her, and even when you're still hurt, remind yourself that you **are** worthy of love and happiness. You are. This isn't something she gave to you- she didn't add value to who you are, you are valuable just as you, just as you are. Please don't be afraid to say that, and don't be afraid to love yourself without any shame or guilt. You are a human being. You deserve love. I promise. You might find it hard to see that now but it's true, I promise. And you will see it one day, and maybe even now you do, but you feel too hopeless to see it. Soon, you will. And it's your truth.
Please don't grieve forever, do things with your family and friends. You need time to heal but also time to remind yourself of all the beautiful and fun things there are to do. Spend time with family, learn a new hobby- piano, a sport, skiiing, swimming, reading, maybe talk about your feelings, and sometimes do nothing at all. Things will get better, okay? They will :) you will find someone you loves who adores you, but that is not what gives you worth or makes you complete. It's you, as you are. You're perfect.
Go listen to Perfect by Pink and let yourself heal. Take care. You need love, and that love needs to come from within. So please love yourself. Okay? Things will be okay :)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I have always had trouble loving myself. I guess that is why I am so clingy, because I use all my love on others. But people hate clingy people. I know that people need space, but that is just how I am. As I said, nobody like clingy people. So nobody stays with me very long, that's why I am having so much trouble moving on. What if I don't find anyone else who can put up with me? Moving on is nothing new, but it never gets easier. Life's great, but can be a real bitch.

I love how after years, some songs still have their listeners, while some songs won't be listened from the start. Or some songs get reborn after years, it will be like bringing back all the memories and feelings you had while you were listening the song back in time....

Lol i bet she dose
Her brother commented on Reddit that she recently married somebody else. Apparently she just wasn’t as into Alec as he was into her.
I know I would
She coulda been dating the best dood in da friggin WORLD!
My Crush is already dating someone
And every time I see them it encourages me
To try and be the best friend for her.
THE_ BOT I’m in the same boat. It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also comforting to know that she is happy with someone who treats her well, even if it isn’t me.
My friend next to me feels u
Well who ever see this
We all have a chance
We just to have courage to take the chance
THE_ BOT I did. I wrote her a letter telling her how I feel. She didn’t reciprocate, but we’re still friends. So long as I get to be with her in some way, I’m happy. ^_^
I broke up with my crush/bestfriend cuz he wasnt actually treating me like his girlfriend and he said he liked me but i didnt believe it
I'm so glad I found his music whrn I did a couple of years ago
His music is so genuin and deep yet so pure and heartbreaking
It's like his music can touch my mind and soul at the same time and just acompony me whenever I'm sad
His voice is so Pure😭💞

Akyra3 Eragon no I meant report
Not gonna lie, this song hits on a personal level. I suffer from depression and I was in one of my deep depressions and had a breakdown and went to my best friend who I liked but she was already taken. And I talked to her and my depression lead me to say some bad things and she basically said goodbye and blocked me. My heart hurts so bad because I liked her and she liked me but like the lyrics, I was to young, anyways I know nobody probably cares about some random comment but I just wanted to get this off my chest.
Edit: thank you guys so much for the support. Since I posted this comment I have gotten better. I have been doing good with life. I know im just some random guy but for what its worth, thank you guys so much😁😁
I feelt for your words as I was reading and I would LOVE to say she didn't deserve you and that I'm sorry it happened to you I hope you are OK now
Aww I’m sorry🥺
that’s deep ( sorry )
It hits me there too..
same has happened to me but i haven't asked her out .
Your voice is so soft and attractive. A collab with Billie Eilish would be so amazing.
I just found your songs a couple days before and I am in love with all of them! :)

This song is one of the best songs my ears have ever come upon to. Thank you for making my life easy with your beautiful voice Alec I hope you make it really far with the amazing music you make.
Lyrics:
She told me that she loved me by the water fountain
She told me that she loved me and she didn't love him
And that was really lovely 'cause it was innocent
But now she's got a cup with something else in it
It's getting kind of blurry at a quarter past ten
And he was in a hurry to be touching her skin
She's feeling kind of dirty when she's dancing with him
Forgetting what she told me by the water fountain
Now he's grabbing her hips, and pulling her in
Kissing her lips, and whispering in her ear
And she knows that she shouldn't listen
And that she should be with me by the water fountain
She couldn't be at home in the night time because
It made her feel alone, but at that time she was too young
I was too young
I should've built a home with a fountain for us
The moment that she told me that she was in love
Too young
I was too young
Too young, too young, too young
And if she ever goes back to the water fountain
The handle will be broken and the rust set in
But my hand, it will be open and I'll try to fix it
My heart, it will be open and I'll try to give it
Now I'm grabbing her hips, and pulling her in
Kissing her lips, and whispering in her ear
And I know that it's only a wish
And that we're not standing by the water fountain
Too young, too young, too young
She couldn't be at home in the night time
Because it made her feel alone
But at that time she was too young
I was too young
I should've built a home with a fountain for us
The moment that she told me that she was in love
Too young
I was too young
Too young, too young, too young
I should've built a home with a fountain for us
The moment that she told me that she was in love
Too young
I was too young
Wow
My dear. If you click on le description you would find the lyrics

The song describes my first love. We were both young and madly in love. She got tempted and everything broke. I waited for her and trusted her, just to be let down. The song reminds me of the bittersweet times...
Same here...
Damn y’all I’m so sorry and I’m glad I’m not attractive to anyone at my school cause my brain couldn’t handle that

Moxyar I’m glad you could move on! My brain is still developing (I’m still a teenager) and I don’t think I could handle stuff like that right now especially with everything else I’m juggling but props to people like you who can move on and do the right thing.
this is my fourth time in a row playing this song... it's weird because usually the lyrics and message are really important to me but i'm not even listening to the lyrics, the _way_ he sings is just so good, idk how to describe it, like not just the melody and idk what it is but i love it
I feel the same wayy
I don't understand the lyrics, but I understand their meaning. I get what you mean :)
I can so good i don't even want lyrics
Listening to this song again after finding out the water fountain he’s talking about is the water fountain for drinking in schools🗿
I love it to see Alec's music getting biger and biger by the day. It makes me feel like an OG fan, i've been here for a while and i will never leave.
i LOVE his songs
been here for the last year or two proud of him i somewhat feel like a parent lol
I’ve started listening to him ever since “I built a friend” which is another depressing song bc of the meaning behind it.

I play this over and over all the time when I'm bored
his voice: CHILDLIKE
his lyrics: GODLIKE
his song: heaven like
Lol
Yep
Lol
WHY DID I THINK IT SAID CHODLIKE 😭😭😭
I think this song is about how this boy lost someone he loved. The girl told him that she loved him by the water fountain, but he ended up rejecting her because he thought they were too young. She ends up getting with someone else, and forgets what she told him at the water fountain. After this, the boy realizes that he really did love her, but it was too late. He let her go, and now she’s gone. They forgot what they told each other at the water fountain.

this song is a lot deeper then it seems, if you put together the pieces its really sad. Still a good song though but i can never look at is the same.
I think they were in love but she went to a party got like drugged and raped and it was to late for them to love eachother
All of his songs are deep and sad
Hi, I was wondering what you meant by "it's a lot deeper than it seems" and "i can never look at it the same"? Because the lyrics are a kind of mystery to me lmao (seriously I don't really understand the implicit meaning of the lyrics)
@@jeannecameirao6531 think about it, she had a drink with somthing else in it.
@@gustenoreikaite7425 exactly
How come his EACH and every song is so good??!!
I mean the lyrics of every song of his is on another level.
The lyrics have such a deep meaning oof... hits hard 🥺
In case u wanna know what it’s about:
A boy (him) was in love with a girl, and she was with him. The girl confessed to him but he wasn’t really ready for a relationship and too shy i guess :/. But then, when he was ready, the girl already moved on to someone else...
Hope you understand better the song now :)
This is enough to make a whole grown man cry😢
She wasn’t really ready because she was too young....they were too young!!. Lol
And the girl doesn't feel good with that new person
Oh so it’s his fault ? Oh okay
Kaylyn Ross no I’m not saying it’s his fault. I’m adding to the lyric meaning based off the song lyrics lol
