I went to a concert..over a year ago..where Sawyer did most of this album. He told us we were one of the first to hear the Hide Your Ghost album as a concert. Also..it was a small venue so..we got to meet and hang with Sawyer for a bit and..it was FUN!! Sawyer is REALLY nice!! And..of course Sawyer is a phenomenal musician and song writer.
Wow Sawyer!! Never took the time to watch this video for the message. Another form of your creative theater. Beautiful. Thank you. Have enjoyed the music though from its birth.
This music healed me once ... I was hiding and i stood up again ... now i feel the light is going away again ... and i don't like to light it up even . Thank you Sawyer for your hope and art .
Two young artists make magic together.... Sawyer is a young man with an old soul....He will speak through his lyrics far into the future... I so wish they would have had this expression of art when I was young....
I absolutely love the message of this song. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of my mother (who has since passed away) to keep my heart strong and open. And now that I am a mother of a little girl, it reminds me to tell her the same. "Keep your heart open, head strong, and never lose faith in humanity. Love others and forgive! The world will be cold, but it is you that can make a difference". 'We all will suffer and we all will die for the other'. Thank you so much for this song! I love it
I keep coming back to this artist and he's still my favorite. Fortunately he writes like 10 new songs a year and they're amazing and better than the last. I especially like the vague lyrics because they allow us to form our own opinions instead of having them spoon fed. It's very refreshing.
When I first saw you on The Voice I knew I will follow you somehow. This song proves I was right. Please, continue your work. It hurts directly into my heart. God, you are too old for your age... old soul, my companion through this life. Thank you.
this video is so deep and profound. It is hard to find something so resonating and so powerful in today's industry. Sawyer you never fail to impress. Kudos to Andrew as well, fantastic art.
It's been a long time since music has made me feel. This song has me in tears but in a good way lol. I'm literally in love with your music and I hope you continue to achieve amazing things.
One reason is that his throwback style isn't particularly popular. Another is that he didn't want to do a record label's bidding for the sake of popularity. He seems willing to take the risk to his career to be true to himself. Also, promotion and advertising is tough for an indie artist. But I agree, he's remarkable and should be well-known.
This is one of my favorite things I have ever seen on youtube. It is more than a song and incredible animation. It's the best kind of art there is. It arrested me in my day. Thank you everyone who had a hand in this.
Oh my God! Sawyer, your voice is like a rare vintage perfume. Every day you grow older your voice gets more magical. I love the song lyrics, and the clip added a nice element to it. I am waiting this day the whole world enjoy your music. Your Egyptian fan since you won the voice writing this to you from Dubai. :)
Listening to this song is so relatable to me. I have to battle my demons everyday. I have horrible health anxiety. My dad tries to help but he doesn’t know what to anymore. Thanks for shedding light on the darkness Sawyer keep it up.
I knew for a fact that "The Voice" would destroy what Sawyer was all about by producing a crappy pop album...and I was right. SO HAPPY to have learned about this album today! Thank you for being you, Sawyer! :)
Wow. A different kind of sawyer. The covers, the voice and the presence to one side, I really hope we see more of the world through your eyes in art projects like this. Keep up the great work!
Sawyer's work inspires a lot of artists-I think partly because he invites interpretation. The cover artwork of his upcoming album is by a very accomplished fan. He wrote a song, Forever Wrong, that was used in the first ever soundtrack to a novel (The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom). Also, Silent World ua-cam.com/video/Wy3ijxfrv9A/v-deo.html was the song heard in the first scenes of the 6th season opener of the Netflix series Longmire. I'm sure we'll be hearing and seeing a lot more inspirations and collaborations.
Sawyer often writes lyrics that are open to interpretation and seems to want listeners to find their own meaning. He said he allowed the artist who did the animation to apply his own interpretation. In fact, Sawyer is usually mum about what his songs mean to him because he doesn't want to spoil the it for listeners who may relate to it differently... very mature for an 18-year-old.
So!... 2 great artists together make wonders!!! Frederic is a very special musician! But in combination with the video of Andrew Benincasa! This song becomes a masterpiece 🌺
He's done 2 big national tours plus a few shows in Canada and is planning more touring after the LP release on March 30. Go to Bandsintown website or Sawyerfredericks.com to find out where he'll be. He has dozens of songs on iTunes and Spotify, is on VEVO and loads of videos on youtube. Apparently the record contract offered by The Voice doesn't include promotion. To do it yourself is very expensive.
Sawyer. Thank you from my heart for sharing this song. It made me reflect not without some sadness how we are failing to convince each other how important we are to each other. God bless you Sawyer and all who God gives you to love.
This is absolutely breath taking. That is incredibly difficult animation set to a haunting message from a unique voice in music. Thank you so very much to all involved!
This song and the video deserves so much more in terms of views and exposure. However, a part of me also wants to keep it within the selected few who knows and appreciates it. Keep doing what you doing man. Kudos!
Look for Sawyer's new album, Flowers for You, which he says should be released this spring. A 4-song EP is available to his Patreon supporters and at his shows. The title track is here: ua-cam.com/video/kfe007i_1XQ/v-deo.html
It's so authentic. Your voice, the visual, the instrumentals..everything. Hauntingly incredible. I know not what else to say; except Thank You for this.
Vitor Valandro Not everyone can feel this.. the majority of people in the world are not deeply hurt like the one's that feel this deep within.. like my self I feel with everything deep down.. pierces my heart
AMAZING...!!!!!!!! AAAAMMMMAAAAAZZZZZIIIIINNNNNGGGG I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT MY EYES ARE CRYING RIGHT NOW... Thank you sawyer for this song... Thank you...
I know I'm super late to this video but this is absolutely incredible!! The animation is so freaking cool and I love this song so.. perfect combo holy cow ❤️❤️❤️
I went to a concert..over a year ago..where Sawyer did most of this album. He told us we were one of the first to hear the Hide Your Ghost album as a concert. Also..it was a small venue so..we got to meet and hang with Sawyer for a bit and..it was FUN!! Sawyer is REALLY nice!! And..of course Sawyer is a phenomenal musician and song writer.
The most ridiculously underrated video on UA-cam.
It's so beautiful, Sawyer & Andrew. ...
Wow Sawyer!! Never took the time to watch this video for the message. Another form of your creative theater. Beautiful. Thank you. Have enjoyed the music though from its birth.
Our youth are much more awake than us!! Thank God as it means hope for humanity! Beautiful Sawyer Thank you, awaken the masses with your music Please
The song alone is truly mobing and beautiful, added with the video, just amazing. I wept
This music healed me once ... I was hiding and i stood up again ... now i feel the light is going away again ... and i don't like to light it up even . Thank you Sawyer for your hope and art .
Two young artists make magic together.... Sawyer is a young man with an old soul....He will speak through his lyrics far into the future... I so wish they would have had this expression of art when I was young....
Hide Your Ghost is a great song and a fantastic album! I Highly Recommend It!
Absolutely Beautiful Sawyer.. Wow you are amazing. 👍👍
I absolutely love the message of this song. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of my mother (who has since passed away) to keep my heart strong and open. And now that I am a mother of a little girl, it reminds me to tell her the same. "Keep your heart open, head strong, and never lose faith in humanity. Love others and forgive!

The depth of the lyrics and animation is stunning.
I'm blown away by the maturity of this brillant young man!
Sawyer, The Wild Angel ! Luv u from brazil!
I love the fact this is for the listeners interpretation. It makes the song resonate with each individual who listens to it. Beautiful.
This is what music and video is all about, excellent work.
I keep coming back to this artist and he's still my favorite. Fortunately he writes like 10 new songs a year and they're amazing and better than the last. I especially like the vague lyrics because they allow us to form our own opinions instead of having them spoon fed. It's very refreshing.
Wowza!!! Go Sawyer, gooooooooooo!!!! Beautiful!!!
Great job Andrew Benincasa --- video is directed and animated by paper cut and stop motion animation
Chills till the bone... Your voice brother carries us to our own fantasy, happy and perfect world... Can't have enough of you....
When I first saw you on The Voice I knew I will follow you somehow. This song proves I was right. Please, continue your work. It hurts directly into my heart. God, you are too old for your age... old soul, my companion through this life. Thank you.
this video is so deep and profound. It is hard to find something so resonating and so powerful in today's industry. Sawyer you never fail to impress. Kudos to Andrew as well, fantastic art.
I understand fully what he is saying.
Jazzy Reily Parental Alienation is child abuse
Stunning song made even more powerful by the artistic genius that Andrew Benincasa brings to any project.
Your voice makes my heart melt each time I listen to any of your breathtaking songs. You're absolutely amazing.
It's been a long time since music has made me feel. This song has me in tears but in a good way lol. I'm literally in love with your music and I hope you continue to achieve amazing things.
Sawyer has said that he wants his listeners to FEEL something from his music. Mission accomplished.
OKAY BUT WHY ISN'T SAWYER FAMOUS YET? He has such amazing talent. His voice is absolutely beautiful.
One reason is that his throwback style isn't particularly popular. Another is that he didn't want to do a record label's bidding for the sake of popularity. He seems willing to take the risk to his career to be true to himself. Also, promotion and advertising is tough for an indie artist. But I agree, he's remarkable and should be well-known.
Zenith J At least he's being true to himself and his music. I really do hope he gets a lot of attention one day. He deserves it
This is one of my favorite things I have ever seen on youtube. It is more than a song and incredible animation. It's the best kind of art there is. It arrested me in my day. Thank you everyone who had a hand in this.
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Epitomizes humanity at its best - Played it over and over brilliant !!
Oh thx! your voice it's amazing. Say Hi from Argentina! Please never stop singing...
Hauntingly beautiful, creative, and so uniquely Sawyer......thank you! There is hope for humanity...
Amazing !! Such an artist. A fan since your first audition.
Oh my God! Sawyer, your voice is like a rare vintage perfume. Every day you grow older your voice gets more magical. I love the song lyrics, and the clip added a nice element to it. I am waiting this day the whole world enjoy your music. Your Egyptian fan since you won the voice writing this to you from Dubai. :)
This is the title track from his latest album. Here's video of another song from it: ua-cam.com/video/FIZ5pUOHCn4/v-deo.html
I’m related to this video/song very much and from many points of view. Thank you both beautiful artists. This video will be never forgotten.
Amazing, Sawyer! This style totally fits with you :) awesomee👏👏👏
Beautiful song, lyrics and melody as well as creative and unusual graphics.
Listening to this song is so relatable to me. I have to battle my demons everyday. I have horrible health anxiety. My dad tries to help but he doesn’t know what to anymore. Thanks for shedding light on the darkness Sawyer keep it up.
Sawyer you are clearly an awakened one!! Shine your light boy as you will illuminate many with your music!!
Two extremely talented artists coming together to deliver a message of hope. Nicely done Sawyer and Andrew!
You are simply awesome..... wonderful lyrics, great music, excellent and powerful voice
I knew for a fact that "The Voice" would destroy what Sawyer was all about by producing a crappy pop album...and I was right. SO HAPPY to have learned about this album today! Thank you for being you, Sawyer! :)
Yes....he mutually got out of that contract and this album is all Sawyer!
Wow... I truly hope you become famous because the world needs this kind of music! Thank you for sharing your art, love from Brazil ♥️
Wow. A different kind of sawyer. The covers, the voice and the presence to one side, I really hope we see more of the world through your eyes in art projects like this. Keep up the great work!

I'm sure we'll be hearing and seeing a lot more inspirations and collaborations.
What a perfect song, doing a perfect duo with amazing visual art! Congratulations!!!!!
I am a minister and knowing how this song and video is so relatable to many that have had to fight their own demons makes this a hit

Just lost power in the Nor’easter, enjoying your music with the rain:)

Zenith J thank you for the info! It doesn't look like he'll be coming to my part of the country anytime soon unfortunately
Keep checking. New dates are supposed to be announced soon.
Sawyer. Thank you from my heart for sharing this song. It made me reflect not without some sadness how we are failing to convince each other how important we are to each other. God bless you Sawyer and all who God gives you to love.

I love this song. Honestly. I need to see you live someday
I hope you get to see him live. I was able to and his voice resonates through your entire body. Recordings can't do it justice.
