that guy who yells "SING" is all of us
I was just thinking that XD
Omg yes
Does anybody else see how attractive he is while singing with so much emotion.. damn. oh my god
Kenneth he makes my heart melt
Yeah its not easy to be gorgeous while singing so deeply. and he does it with bells on.
me? crying over ben fankhauser? it's more likely than you think.
jesus faist oo shit hi Ryan Ross ( omg your username )
It bothers me that people only seem to be commenting on Ben's riffs and vocal quality. Don't get me wrong, he sings wonderfully, but this song is beautiful and deserves recognition. Alexander Sage Oyen: congratulations on such a heartfelt and moving song.
that's something I ALWAYS think about when some _____(anything) gets a lot of recognition.
I definitely understand complementing someone on their ability to perform it as that's a very talented human as well, and it's well deserved... but somehow not much gets mentioned about who wrote it besides a "lyrics and music by" line.
I think what actually gets to me is the whole culture of, especially when something really blows up, it's the one who performs the material (in all mediums) whose opinion people care about, about the material itself, and everything else. Like the material came out of them. It's just so odd to me. Not saying every writer cares, look at the entire pop music factory, but it always irked me. It's the writers material, sometimes ONE song/show makes bonifide stars out of the performers and doors open up everywhere... while the writers generally have to keep proving them self over and over again until their let's say, road to success MAY become less challenging for them. If ever. Woops, rant over.
Because the videos are usually about the performance… do you do this on beyonces videos for example? Just seems extremely targeted lol
I would most definitely give a damn. many damns for Ben
All my damns go to Ben
Rebecca Neckritz 10,000 damns for Ben
Every damn
He's setting my standards for men TOO HIGH
+Olivia O'Callaghan story of my life!
Same. Like, literally, Ben, staaahhhpppp. Lol
(PS, he should never stop actually)
This is way to accurate lol
DorkyVero Same
I KNOW!
I love how every time Ben sings he dosent just sing he performs and he cares like that's the only thing that matters in that moment and it's just breathtaking
*Probably the most ironic thing I've ever heard Benoncé say*
Ben: "Is anybody listening to the song that I sing? Does anyone even know who I am?"
Me and every other Fansie and anyone else who knows Ben: Are we a joke to you?
slkjdgbassjs amen tho
It reminds me of DEH and idk how to feel...
well - its not so ironic anymore - im the only one i personally know who is obsessed with him and his angelic voice but i have so far only found 2 other people online ;-; JUSTICE FOR BENONCE IN 2024!
THE KING OF RIFFS GOES TOOOOOOO. ( drum roll )
BEN FANKHAUSER
*benoncè
He is so gorgeous. And his voice is gorgeous. He has ruined my standards for men forever.
+divergent-ravenclaw-revolutionary-half_blood-on_fire Yass
For real
I decided to watch this because he looked cute as hell in the thumbnailbut now I am having a religious experience. The second one in less than two weeks (lookimg at you, Taylor Louderman). My bisexual ass _cannot_ handle all these talented theatre people.
i KNOW
his ability to hush a crowd and leave them speechless in awe with the "mere" power of singing/music is the most gratifying thing ever
Benyonce!
omg could he stop being so damn gorgeous and that tongue thing oh my
I like that you actually went back and wrote down the timestamps for all the most noticeable ones XD
Bless you haha
You didn't consider the heavy breathing and his hands holding the mic softly... this vid is pure porn, dude!
THE TONGUE THING
Nurys Acevedo Gaete EXACTLY 😛
there goes our beautiful Benonce back at it again
Go and look it up the poor guys head is spinning
That poor guy is me. My head cannot comprehend how beautiful this boy can sing and therefore is freaking out. I love Ben Fankhauser.
Underrated comment
beautiful how the audience gets quiet, his ability to capture attention is mesmerizing and his voice is magical
🙋🙋me! Me!!!!!! I give a damn, I'm listening, and I most certainly know who you are Ben💚
Same here sister!
i will always be extremely intimidated by ben's riffs hahaha
"would you give a damn?"
*me, in tears:* yes, absolutely
I just want to know, is this a song about doubting God? Yes Ben sang it so beautifully but I think the people enjoying his performance forget the sadness and doubt in the song. And for me that's what made this even better
Every time I see the sunset
I look for something more in it
As if something will pop out to me right there
The paper and the tv
Well they all wanna save me
They point me towards the sunset
So I stare
Is anybody listening?
To the song that I sing
Does anyone even know who I am?
If I sing hallelujah
Right on up to ya
Would your angles even give a damn
When the cowards turn to soldiers
To solve all their problems
I wonder what I'm supposed to believe
And the news reporters set the blame
For people who don't think the same
I wonder what their trying to achieve
Is anybody listening?
To the song that I sing
Does anyone even know who I am?
If I sing hallelujah
Right on up to ya
Would your angles even give a damn
Would you give a damn (2x)
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I want so much to believe in you
But it's hard when there's no justice for the thief
Staring at the sunset from my roof
Looking for some kind of proof
When there's none in sight
I guess that's called belief
So is this belief?
Is anybody listening?
To the song that I sing
Does anyone even know who I am?
If I sing hallelujah
Right on up to ya
Would your angles even give a damn
Would you give a damn (2x)
Odd-Jobs-Chick omfg thank you for existing 😭
Odd-Jobs-Chick THANK YOU
*Angels
Thank you, but maybe fix angles to angels?
3:13 OH MY SWEET LORD I literally swooned
Listening to this while stretching in the dark in your room at 3am hits different.
KING OF RIFFS
Hannah W King of riffs and the King of New York
benonce
I have listened to this on repeat for the last two days, and cannot get over how adorable the little screw-up at 0:30 was.
All wanna *little baby headshake*
Ben would be a great replacement for Ben Platt after original cast of Dear Evan Hansen leaves.
Owen Raynor yesssss
Vocally, I totally agree. but i think he looks a bit too old for the role (but oh my god I would kill to see that. that would be a dream come true)
faye miller Taylor trensch is 28 Ben is 27
He’s said that it’s a dream role of his, so we can hope !!
alex.coversbroadway he looks older than ben though, a little too old to be an evan
Every time i try to listen to this while working I get nothing done! I click on the video and see his face before i can click away and then his gorgeous bloody face keeps me from looking away the whole way through, even when he's not singing. He so incredible, it feels like he's bearing his entire soul.
He looks so heartbroken at the end and I don't get how
acting
Assuming from the pfp your username is a John Mulaney reference. I read chocolate eclair in his voice and I could hear the pfp
@@laurenring9721 you have the moral backbone of a chocolate éclair
I always come back to this video when I just wanna listen Broadway performers live. Anyone who has heard this man sing in person is lucky.
oh god how can he sing so P E R F E C T L Y
ARE THOSE TEARS IN HIS EYES
Cacie Waite wait what
Cacie Waite where when
This song is so good. But I can't imagine anyone else singing this but Ben. But srsly, this song has that truth in it that it still gives me goosebumps. Alexander is amazing.
Its 4am and I've fallen in love with ben fankhauser
Welcome we're all sad
the two men in this world that own my heart are Ben Fankhauser and Ben Platt
I've had this playing on repeat for the past 24 hours, as in at least 12 times today. Ben is so kind in person, so incredibly talented, and currently stuck in my head.
Omg I’m gonna cry and it just started
I needed to hear something like this right now.
And holy. merlin's. pants. this IS AMAZING.
Holy Merlin pants... got to say I have heard many alternate cuss words but that is impressive
I love how into the music he always gets. Like, wow. Just wow. His voice is amazing, and his emotion is beautiful. (Also, the way that he moves his arms when he sings high/loud parts oh my goodness he's adorable lol)
Kayla M Cook I love your profile pic
Kailie Rian Thank you! So do I. Lol.
This song is so damn powerful. I had to listen a few times to get it, but damn. And paired with this man and his gorgeous voice...
i adore this song. i want to sing it so bad.
BENS VOICE COULD KILL ANYONE! Honestly Ben why are you so talented?!?!
Lol, not that I am any different, but the thirst is real in this comment section hahaha
Y'all it's not even a crush anymore I'm actually in frickin LOVE with him OMFG ♡♡♡
I've never seen his face from this close before and let me just say, its magnificent. I mean, it's like he's animated. I've never seen anybody like that.
don't mind me, i'm just sobbing over my laptop right now because damn he looks so heartbroken like A+ acting right there like fuck bless this angel.
I listened to this song with my sister on Spotify the other day and I was like "this sounds like Ben Fankhauser and then she showed me the poster that said his name on it I was very happy, his voice is so magical
he’s ruined my standards for men and i’m honestly not mad about it
Ugh wow I just watched this 3x in a row. So so good.
So many people are listening, Ben. All of us
it's been 4 years and literally nothing else has ever come close to this performance
his riffs are probably my reason for living
I was lucky enough to meet him and he is so nice!!
He stared at the camera and I felt his stare into the deepest part of my soul
He is literally flawless, God's hand slipped when he made Ben Fankhauser
Gorgeous all around. Would love to see this again live in NYC.
i was listening to this in class and i started to tear up and my teacher look at me like "wtf? this is a worksheet about colonial jobs why are you emotional?"
I absolutely love this song, Alexander Sage Oyen is such a talented man and he deserves more recognition.
This song is perfection....definitely going to by the sheets for this one! Perfect for my book!
Good God, that boy can sing!
3:15 but.. how did.. waitWHAT

Absolutely love this . Listen to it all the time . He is so connected to the song .. Bravo
Just listened to this on Spotify. And all i can ever say is He cares for you dude. He cares for us. :)
I'm in love with Ben! ❤️
MusicalFanatic04 arent we all
i could listen to this for the rest of my life and still get chills every time
Agree! I heard it word that he is going to be in the Carole King Musical National Tour this season. Hopefully, I'll get to meet him.
So glad I have the privilege to see him in Newsies three times.

Ben reaches all the notes perfectly!
True
his voice is so light and young but also so emotional aishwjdhsh i love it so much
You can't fall in love with a voice can u ❤️😂
this song is just so.... it just describes my life
More then anything, I am trying to figure out how to have this song in my itunes so i can put it loud AF in my apartment on my speaker and in my headphones on the subway…..on repeat
I absolutely love this song and i was wondering and hopping i could have the piano music to this song so i can share this incredible song with more people.
everytime i watch this i cry a little bit harder,, i sobbed this time
I just want to know him. Is that too much to ask????
Erin Bosbury same tho
Wow Ben is amazing I love him so much he is so talented and deserves for everyone to know the song that he songs
Ben Fankhauser+this song = Perfection
He has the voice of an angel!
This is just gorgeous - not only does it sound fabulous, but his face all the way through is something to watch!

I'm in love with this man
Ben Fankhauser's riffs are all i need in life
he one of my faves….awesome voice and emoting
There's a sincerity about him in his singing that is so endearing.
That one note on the bass makes me flinch every time I hear it.
This song is so inspiring and he is the perfect person to sing it!!
I love this and Ben!!!
What a voice. I´m stunned.
I saw him perform last week in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical... Oh my! My heart sank listening to him live. His voice is just absolutely amazing!
