Don't care to people These days most of them looking for nudity and show off instead Feeling and emotions in musics They don't deserve Artists like alec
i;'ve been listening to alec since 2016 and i don't listen to the officials because i genuinely feel more attached to the demos. i think they sound more incredible with the original interpretations, espescially outrunning karma. i feel more emotion in the demos and the raw, authentic, untouched audio and runs he uses in the second verse just add so much to the song and i wish he kept that in the officials.
the funny thing is there was a bird at my school (in colorado) named karma and me and my friend made a joke where we had to outrun him. Alec are you stalking me???

Every time I listen I want to be inspired to write a story or a novel, then I realize that's useless and impossible because you've already told the whole story. It's like reading an entire good book every time you listen to these 3-minute, multidimensional stories. What a ride. Your music is truly special.
still listening to this version. The official one simply cannot compare to the feelings in this version, especially on the second part of the chorus where he riffs on lies. God I love it
One. He doesn't get enough attention! Two. He's the only one who comments on UA-cam videos which is cool! Three. He's a hidden gem with so much talent!

Congrats on 100K subs, Alec! I knew you could do it! I can't wait to see how much more you and your channel grows. You totally deserve each and every one of those subscribers.
Kyrlics ??? Good song as in I write bad ones. Telling people to die isn't a nice thing to do. Maybe you should go to your room, sit on your bed, and thing about what you've done.
*.5 seconds in* OMG THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS I'VE EVER HEARD, I AM SERIOUSLY BLESSED. Seriously, though, you need to perform live, preferably in the Kansas City, Missouri area. Thanks for being amazing!
I heard the nightcore version long ago and didn't know it was him, now while I was listening his playlist I recognized this song! God so many memories! And excellent song btw I'm loving it
Trinity The Train Engine yeah it is as i am the same as him with that, think he can still release them with a company that spotify provides but hope he gets some on it soon :)
Trinity The Train Engine I don't believe he does, I'm pretty sure he does all of this stuff on his own. But it's only a matter of time till he has record labels fighting to get him tbh.
Alec Benjamin hey alec my name is giselle my brother was wondering if you can make a song of you getting a girlfriend or something about your childhood if you can thank you
Alec Benjamin and sorry if life is hard i already wanna die since second grade and now im 12 and im in the 8th grade its been hard now i can just imagine your life how hard it is to make others happy
oml this is absolutely amazing!! it would be so cool to see the thought process behind choosing the right lyrics and the way you word things, I'm amazed😍
I do not understand how you make this amazing and addicting of music that makes viewers fall in love with your style more and more each time and not be more famous than most of the artists on the radio today. Seriously, you are amazing.
I saw the notification and clicked as fast as I could I love you so much Alec your music is really amazing please do a show on long island some time we would love to have you
This was the first song that introduced me to your Music, Alec. This started the enjoyment of your content and I thank you,from the bottom of my heart for making me cry from my Soul. Burning Garden, Has to be a Reason,Knife on my back and If we have each other. Those songs have touched my spirit and helped me with unresolved emotions that hindered me. Thank you, Alec.
ALEC THIS IS FLIPPING AMAZING !!! OH MY GODODODDDOD. you're literally a blessing. thank YOU SO MUCH FOR EXISTING. you always put a smile on my face. just by tweeting, posting on instagram, and especially your music. i love and adore you so much. thank you thank you thank you. 💗 this is probably my new favorite 😭. although i can't choose, they're all fricking golden. ALSO IVE NEVER CLICKED A NOTIFICATION SO FAST IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. ahhfgngngkfkdkxndjwkznsslslskwmzs
I feel like the DEMO is much better than the original ones , it feels like this had more emotion. The "lalala" part , the way he sang it is so taunting which what makes the song better as if he is describing the things we "regret" keep taunting us in the back of our mind and the memories kept resurfing , reminding our past wrong doing as if it was saying that was our "karma". No matter how much we run from it or try to forget it , it still finds it's way back.
Hiroshi Reyes steve, Annabelle’s homework, I built a friend, outrunning karma, if I killed someone for you, if we have each other and gotta be a reason
Oo myy godd Alec. I have been watch,or should I say listening,before you came out with the water fountain and omg this is my favorite song keep up the good work I love you Alex. This is my favorite song by far.
I really enjoy this song, Paper Crown, and I Built A Friend, and had no idea they were by the same person! Definitely have to check out more of your music!
I can't stop listening to this; honestly. Its helpful for me to focus in school because of the hypnotizing beat but the lyrics are brilliant. I'm writing songs too, and seeing you do things like this and the many others songs you have give me hope that I can make it as long as I work hard enough. Thank you for everything you do, and please remember how important you are. Regardless of how many songs you have, the things you are going through are worth every bit of strength you've gained. Its something I wish someone would've told me a bit ago... Yeet. Hope you're well!
Paper crown, water fountain, end of the summer and swim until you love me are my favourite songs of all time....funny how they are all Alec's' songs haha.
THE ALBUM IS COMING MAY 29TH !!! pre order here : alecbenjamin.lnk.to/TheseTwoWindowsID

i'm speechless
sad
Zen - Kun ik
Sameee
Same very sad
The version on his album is amazing but this one just...hits different.
I like both versions of the song but this one seems darker
for sure
its so good
Feels somehow more ethereal, more intangible
It's feel like Deja Vu
You ever get that feeling when you like a demo better than the actual song
always. he became known as a bedroom pop singer, a shame that he stayed away from it.
I do like the complete version better but it is so flipping close
Lol the demo sounds better than the real one
I thoudht I was the only oneewe
How Is there not more people listening to your music? You're litterly one of the best artists.
Yesh
Don't care to people
These days most of them looking for nudity and show off instead Feeling and emotions in musics
They don't deserve Artists like alec

Literally
check ur spelling dude :T
Im still listening to this demo not the complete version lol

I love this version more🤷♀️😂

This one is better he should have kept it the way it was :/
Good I'm not the only one (a)
Alec: I need you to punch me in the eye as hard as you can
Friend: what why
Alec: it’s complicated
LMAOOOO
I'm trying not to laugh to hard at this so I don't wake anybody up
@@tomie3365 I made that joke a year ago lol
Lmaoooo 😂😂

exactly
I'm feel the same way. Not exactly, but I get your point
i completely agree
the funny thing is there was a bird at my school (in colorado) named karma and me and my friend made a joke where we had to outrun him. Alec are you stalking me???
lol maybe he is stalking you
That's creepy lolo

It's like reading an entire good book every time you listen to these 3-minute, multidimensional stories. What a ride. Your music is truly special.
IKR THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THINK EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC
IKR, precisely!
It's just what I thought but I didn't know how to express it!
It’s so weird to listen to this and the difference between then and now… it’s cool
my ears are blessed oh my.
that little instrumental bit from 2:30 to 3:00 is amazing, i could just listen to that on loop for ages
This gave me chills... I love it...
still listening to this version. The official one simply cannot compare to the feelings in this version, especially on the second part of the chorus where he riffs on lies. God I love it
Whoa whoa whoa somebody make this guy famous already! He's one of the few people who can make a great and original song
he's definitely grown
@@dhighdr8714hes not exactly famous yet but he's for sure known more than most
One. He doesn't get enough attention!
Two. He's the only one who comments on UA-cam videos which is cool!
Three. He's a hidden gem with so much talent!
Dude! That riff up on lies, that was wow! I wish he kept that.
I don’t know which version of this song I prefer, they’re both amazing
[LYRICS]
Outrunning karma that boy
He's such a charmer all the
Bugs and their larva follow
Him out to Colorado
Ten dozen hearts in a bag
Their bodies lying he'll drag
Them down to Colorado
A modern desperado
And he'll race for miles through the night
He runs because he knows he cannot hide
He's never gonna make it all the
Poor people he's forsaken karma
Is always gonna chase him for his lies
It's just a game of waiting from the
Church steeple down to Satan karma
There's really no escaping till he dies
Outgunning karma that boy
Can't run no farther it's the
Last days of Sparta follow
Him down to meet Apollo
The he'll brace for battle in the night
They'll fight because he knows he cannot hide
He's never gonna make it all the
Poor people he's forsaken karma
Is always gonna chase him for his lies
It's just a game of waiting from the
Church steeple down to Satan karma
There's really no escaping till he dies
La la la, la la
La la la, la la
La la la, la la; la la
La la la, la la
La la la, la la
La la la, la la; la la
He's never gonna make it all the
Poor people he's forsaken karma
Is always gonna chase him for his lies

Church steeple down to Satan karma
There's really no escaping till he dies
La la la, la la
La la la, la la
La la la, la la; la la

MinerUnlimited I think it's "he'll drag" and not "hill drag" but I'm not fluent so I may be wrong ^°^
Got it
MinerUnlimited thanksss
MinerUnlimited I'm pretty sure he says:
He's never gonna make it, all the
Poor people he's forsaken karma
Thanks

I can't wait to see how much more you and your channel grows. You totally deserve each and every one of those subscribers.
Your voice is so beautiful **-**
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEE ADD THIS DEMO TO SPOTIFY

This Voice
This song is so hypnotizing💜💜 My will to write a good song has increased!!!

Bruh he wasn't even singing 5 seconds in XD
Stacey Gold_Plays still good though
@@parthinaxe I know.
"preferably in the Kansas City, Missouri area" lol fuck you get in line bitch, some of us have been waiting ages for such a dream
So specific. At least be sutble. Just throw a stone with a note at where he should play through his window. That usually works(not)
Damn those lyrics so cold and deep...love your music and gotta say this one is one of my favourites 👍❤️
You're such a good musician, song writer and singer!
I can barely write, and I wish I was blessed with your talents!
Alec Benjamin of course :) big fan!
If only Alec would put his demos on spotify... they sound amazing! Don't know why he didnt
I heard the nightcore version long ago and didn't know it was him, now while I was listening his playlist I recognized this song! God so many memories! And excellent song btw I'm loving it
Ugh I don't wanna have to listen to this one thousand times I don't have time to love this song.
I love this song much it's different from your other style and it's simply amazing

Love To Game 1994 is kinda a childhood song? I dunno. But End of the summer is sorta a lovey song.
I prefer the demo over the released version.
It hits diff
Truee
I mean- You're not wrong.
:)
I just love the way he sings 'lies' in the second and last verse. Wish that was in the official song
OH. MY. GOSH. I got chills just a couple seconds into this song... AHHHHHH
The demo is way better than the normal song lol

Oh my goodness. This is going to be stuck in my head forever!! It's so amazing. All the songs you make keep getting better and better!!!
I wonder how many hours I'll spend replaying this 😂 seriously though Alec it's so beautiful
Jordan Garza i spent like 1 week repeating it
Sophia Lopez- I'm still repeating it! 😍
Jordan Garza me tooo😂
Bro both versions have a different vibe, but both versions i can vibe on 💯
Wow! Since the first time I heard this song, I fell in love with it.
I like your voice too, it sounds beautiful
oh my goodness there’s a huge difference than the official
*my gaWd*
The beat sounds better in this one
I love both this one has more of a agressive vibe while the other one is just a amazing storrie

Yup! And both sounds great!

Fellow army's 😏
Alyssa Thomas yasss!!!
Once again you've given us the gift of a true masterpiece Alec. Thank you!
I feel like the DEMO is much better than the original ones , it feels like this had more emotion.
The "lalala" part , the way he sang it is so taunting which what makes the song better as if he is describing the things we "regret" keep taunting us in the back of our mind and the memories kept resurfing , reminding our past wrong doing as if it was saying that was our "karma". No matter how much we run from it or try to forget it , it still finds it's way back.
I love the demo version
Yesss this song is amazing, you are my favorite artist ♡♡♡
Can u put this on Spotify and put water fountain on there too ❤️
Abby_art !
Brooo same
Abby_art he better this one is amazing and so is the rest of his work
A.Z random yess
I want him to put all of his songs on Spotify so I can listen to them on repeat all day
Hey alec your music inspired me to sing and i'v been working on this one song and i thinks its turning out like your music keep on inspiring people :D
omg the original sounds so different to the one we know now, such a different concept, i love
This is my favorite right now. The rhyme , the beat, the voice, the words. You reach people
you just hit 100k I'm so proud. :))))
I'll always support you no matter what
I'm listening this song in 2018 and the demo is out It sounds weird now he made so many adjustments to the
music😂
This is to people who still listen to this song in 5 years
Cheers!
Oh my gosh....This give me chills! I keep replaying it its just so purfect!
I get chills every time I listen to your music.
Love you!
I honestly like the demo better than the finished one. probably because i've listened to it 300 times.
Most of my favourite singer songwriter are so underrated.
Can you recommend me some of your favorites? I'd love to listen to them ^_^
Rupel padhy sameee
Hiroshi Reyes steve, Annabelle’s homework, I built a friend, outrunning karma, if I killed someone for you, if we have each other and gotta be a reason
Whoever disliked this needs Jesus, and needs to know what a good song is.
Don't worry they're australians
Agreed❤😂
Swiftfox Gabriel the oldest son..
Praise Atua
You can’t find Jesus in la tho
Omg I just started knowing that he’s the creator of multiple of my favorite songs
I’ve always hated the songs Spotify recommends me until they recommended me this. This song is a pure masterpiece.
Ya know, I'm tired of the musical artist we have today. We need someone like you to take the thrown of our mainstream media!!!
*heart stops*
fucking perfection 😍❤
I really want him to do an explanation on this song (also here I am again)
Yesss .. even me
@Lillian Talley I think she meant the story
I looove this song, but daaayum the demo gave me goosebumps!
Wow it's strange yet fascinating to listen to this after listening to the final song
The demo is sooooooooooooo much better than the newer version!!! (my opinion of course!) Love your music Alec, keep it up!
Oo myy godd Alec. I have been watch,or should I say listening,before you came out with the water fountain and omg this is my favorite song keep up the good work I love you Alex. This is my favorite song by far.
Abby Holman ITS ALEC NOT ALEX
i knew that dang it im stupid i did change it tho. thanks for the catch
OMG your sooo welcome i love you and you music
YOU SAID HIS NAME WRONG! I HATE YOU!
I LOVE THISS. I LOVE ALL YOUR SONGS AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU MENTIONED COLORADOO💖💗💗😢😢
This song is the best song that you made.

I absolutely love the vibe this song gives off. I am obsessed. Love ya Alec!!
Can't stop playing it already great song 👍🏽👍🏽
I really enjoy this song, Paper Crown, and I Built A Friend, and had no idea they were by the same person! Definitely have to check out more of your music!
I love you music so much!!!!!you will soon become the biggest singer!!!!❤️
THIS SONG IS SOOOO GOOOOD
I can't stop listening to this; honestly. Its helpful for me to focus in school because of the hypnotizing beat but the lyrics are brilliant. I'm writing songs too, and seeing you do things like this and the many others songs you have give me hope that I can make it as long as I work hard enough. Thank you for everything you do, and please remember how important you are. Regardless of how many songs you have, the things you are going through are worth every bit of strength you've gained. Its something I wish someone would've told me a bit ago... Yeet. Hope you're well!
Holy this is so good I love it!!! Please come to Toronto on your tour! :)
I got goosebumps; and not in a bad way. Great piece, Alec! Also do you have a name in mind when you think about your fans? That would be so cool!
I can't be the only one that prefers the demos to the studio versions.. can I?
I like this version!
This is such a beautiful song. I wasnt expecting this to be this amazing.
I CLICKED THIS NOTIFICATION SO FAST
This song is soooo good,your voice is so amazing and unique 💙
Kidwithaface no its not
Kyrlics dead I just saw this,give me an example of what you find unique because that was just my opinion. I'm genuinely interested
I can't believe you are the one who did this masterpiece,I found it long time ago but Nightcore and I didn't know who did this,love you m8
Your eyes😭❤️
Paper crown, water fountain, end of the summer and swim until you love me are my favourite songs of all time....funny how they are all Alec's' songs haha.
