CANT WAIT TO LISTEN TO ITTTT!
I am so excited dude!!!!
LETS GOOOO
Hyped!
hiii
One of Alec's greatest talents is the way he manages to transform his hopes, fears, and musings of his surroundings into something that feels grander than its separate components yet wholly relatable. Btw, this song is epic🎉🎉🎉
Facts 💅💅💅
Indeed😌
Yeah he's veru good at turning emotions into music
well said!
Fimp(female simp)
🎉🎉🎉 Really, a great singer! One of my favorite artists. 🎉🎉🎉
As u should bestie 💅💅💅
Omg i'm a big fan of your series
Me too i love this guy

i just love every single one of his songs. they're so meaningful and it's just so- i can't even explain it. they helped me a whole lot for some time now. whenever i get depressed of even just a little down, i always have his songs to listen to and i just love them so much!! alec, please continue to do music and just encourage people to be better
Amen
YEsss
Yes please
The amount of passion in his songs is unbelievable!!☺️
Can we just talk about how underrated he is like cmon guys his songs are so touching
Ikr all of his songs deserve as many views as Let Me Down Slowly, they're all so good
@@pahoellyyy All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power. Sinners prayers GOD hears not. Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers. Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.
Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155 “Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.”
(Many souls(unsaved souls), believe falsely and pray in vain).
Mankind is filled with UNSAVED SOULS (WICKED SINNERS).
That`s why there`s a calling to REPENTANCE and to BORN AGAIN:
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Somehow, this song feels like a continuation of Outrunning Karma. Like a shadow, your issues will chase you until the end of time. It's up to you to turn around and face them. Alec's tracks are always worth the wait.
i've found two people on Earth with the same thinking
i feel so accomplished
I didn’t even think of that!! But it’s so true
This is what I was thinking lol.
I couldn’t figure out why this reminded me of outrunning karma but this is why!!
omg actually. wow i just realized. AHHHHH THATS SO SMART. I LOVE THIS GUY. HES SO SMART ITH HIS SONGWRITING 😭😭😭😭😭
Alec is a singer that can touch your heart through his songs.
Factssss 💯💅💅💅
Yeah, absolutely great words👍💪💪
@@J-oDean458 indeed
Alec doesn't need fancy videos ...his songs lyrics and angelic voice is what makes his songs so amazing.. can't wait for the new album
I don't know how, but this guy is over 25 years old and still sounds so young
That's the real talent of his 🌟
He sounds like he’s 15 or 16
He writes the songs also
i am 45 n like his music
Have you even listen to him in live? Or in his stream? He has the same voice all the time.
His face doesn't seem look like a 28-year-old guy👀
DAYUMMM the moving camera angles truly show the feeling of being unable to escape our shadows. and I honestly like the range of the song, it's a much different vibe from your other songs and I love it. also is it just me or do I feel like I recognize these rooms. the return of these rooms also show that inescapable feeling
Are they from must have been the wind mv?
I got the same feeling...I guess i've seen them in the water fountain video as well
Feel this too
I recognize the rooms I’ve been here since 2018 and um that is from LET ME DOWN SLOWLY and um I can see why he wrote this song, the girl the robbed the bank is supposed to be telling the story in Alec’s point of view, SUPER GENIUS BTW🔥❤️

Lyrics [Verse 1]
Booked a trip to Texas, thought I'd start again
Switched all my addresses and ghosted all my friends
Thought I could escape what I could not transcend
Found myself back in the same old place again
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow
[Verse 2]
Maybe i'm the nexus, the common thread that binds
The problems in my hеad and the world that lives outside
I thought I could еscape but it's fate, I've come to find
My devil is the devil that's inside
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow
[Post-Chorus]
It won't ever let me go
It goes everywhere I go
It won't ever let me go
This shadow, this shadow of mine (Of mine)
We grapple, we battle, but we
Are shackled for eternity
We grapple, we battle
We're shackled, we're shackled, we're shackled
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow
[Post-Chorus]
It won't ever let me go
It goes everywhere I go
It won't ever let me go
This shadow, this shadow of mine(of mine)
Thank youuu
Thank you
Legend, thank you for this
Thank you
Thank you!
Hi everyone! I have a little message for y'all. For the people here doing homework, leave the chat, take a sip of water, focus and vibe. For the people here staying up late, leave the chat, grab a blanket and sleep. You deserve it. For the people here with anxiety, breathe. Drink water. Listen to the music and calm down. Take a deep breath. Everything will be fine. For the people here with depression, I love you. Try to see the positive in everything, there's always something good coming out of a bad situation. Breathe. Drink water. Rest. Once you've hit rock bottom, you can only go up from there. :3 For the suicidal, I love you too. You matter. Remember that. No matter what anyone says, I love you. You are gorgeous, funny, and just overall amazing. Don't end your life. We need you here. Remember that to get to the rainbow, you need to go through the storm. For the heartbroken, it's okay. I'm here for you. I know it hurts, but it'll get better. Trust me. And one day, you'll find the one, and it wont hurt anymore. For everyone else suffering from anything, drink water, eat food, sleep, just enjoy life. The world wouldn't be what it is without you all. For everyone reading, thank you. Thank you for being you. You all make the world as amazing as it is, and I love you. All of you. If y'all ever need to talk, i'm here. Have an amazing day/night/afternoon/evening.
Thank you. Truly helped😊
❤❤❤thank you, too
You deserve the world,thank you for the words.
@@ggamerss6846 happy to help
Aww I'm 36 years old and this made my day. That was the comment of the week. Stay sweet the world needs more people like you 🙂
My girlfriend’s family is moving to Texas to leave their past behind, I happen to be part of that past. I couldn’t resonate with a song more than this one.
Another amazing song, can't wait for the album!
I love your bass arrangements tommy :)
ua-cam.com/video/zF5NGDdeyc8/v-deo.html 😉
It's out! 😍
It's out now!
I have been listening Alec’s songs since 2019, and each time he releases a song it’s incredibly relatable to me and that’s why I love him so much, he never disappoints :)
Literally 🥺😭
Exactly
Exactly. I found his music when I was 19 and the first line of 'If we have each other' hit really hard. The definition of music has completely changed since then. Glad I'm living my early twenties with his music.
Demn true, his every song has a story of its own. Love ya Alec:))
You’ve come a long way , we’re proud of you , your songs have such meaning , you deserve more recognition..
keep going , and God bless 🌿🍃
Your songs are way too beautiful. I’m literally getting goosebumps
You shouldn't feel that you have to escape from your shadow Alec, your shadow represents only you and not the darkness of itself. The shadow is part of you and you are truly inspirational.
Ture😊😊😊😊😘😘
The way Alec has a relatable song for every feeling I have is incredible. He's extremely talented and I hope he gets the recognition he deserves
No words to type even . How can someone make every song a masterpiece. He is multidimensional when we feel him and his emotions the other emotions of different dimensions came to start a new chapter to know him
I can't explain how much I love this song.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SONG THE VOCALS THE MV THE USING OF SHADOWS JUST EVERYTHING IS PERFECTION THANK YOU ALEC I'M SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU FOR SO MANY YEARS
Haven't heard an Alec Benjamin song that I didn't like. He's definitely one of my faves ❤️
Fr
Your voice deeply touches the bottom of my heart❤️🩹
Every time I listen to this, or sing along I sing the first chorus as "it finds me", second as "defines me", and third as "refines me". I found out that those aren't the actual lyrics lol, but I still sing them that way, bc I relate to them. I think a large part of personal development is excepting your demons. At first, you're terrified that they will find you, then you think that bad things that happened to you, or that you did, define you. Then, finally, you let those experiences refine you for the future.
I also thought it was defines me and refines haha
Yes, accept your demons and learn how to live with'em, that's the only way to take the control over them
Alec Banjamin is an artist who’s able to put emotions and indescribable thoughts into his songs as metaphors. This song is truly a wonderful work of art.
*Agreed.*
Couldnt of have said it better myself! 💜💜
I used to listen to this song on repeat when it came out and i was depressed, it feels so good to come back and remember everything and be grateful it's okay now
I literally love your songs,, a great voice to listen to when depressed,, keep singing please,, your songs are the best
This guy deserves more recognition.
most underrated singer in my opinion
Right! He is literally a legend!!!!!!
I agree. I finally found a friend who not only knew who Alec Benjamin was, but she's also a fan. (Not as big a fan as me though!)
@@smallboystat6520 the sad truth is there are many more who are way more underrated they deserve recognition
@@realgigachadtrustme She said : “In my opinion”
IM SO LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A TASTE IN MUSIC
same! we know what’s it!
same! lucky me
SAME
You are!
Yess💯
todos os dias aqui, ele acalma meu coração com sua voz doce.
Finalmente um brasileiro
@@iararodrigues8803 oi KKKKK
Eu tbm 😂❤
Verdade, uma voz linda 👋🏻
Vdd letra top tbm
Iam leaving this comment here so after a month or year when someone likes it I get reminded of this song ❤️
i love alec so much. i listen to every song, and there is not one bad song he has ever made. keep it up
Yassss 💅💅💅
lmao i was looking for songs of his tht i didnt like, cudnt find a single one-
Exacto
Yep
Ikr!!
My favorite thing about Alec’s music is the story that he tells in every single song. It really puts me into the perspective of who he’s describing and it lets me connect with Alec not only as a musician but also as a person. Keep up the good work ❤️
The lyric video of Shadow of mine ua-cam.com/video/-sgLplUC44k/v-deo.html
Hii
he’s definitely my ABSOLUTE favourite artist and will be forever!
It’s just insane that every single song he releases is just amazing!!
“We got what we battle, but we” that has to be my favorite line. I LOVE how he sings it
that... that's not even the line... it's "We grapple, we battle, but we"
Alec has a way of describing what everyone feels at least once in their lives.
That's beautiful
**ALEC BENJAMIN SUCKSS, MY MUSIC IS BETTER*
@@robinskull Get over yourself
I always get deja vu feeling listening to his songs. Water fountain most. Thought I was weird. 😂
When I first heard this song and read the lyrics, I could not believe how relatable this was in my life. I grew up in California all my life, and we decided to move to Hawaii two years ago. I let go of my friends, ghosted some of them because we left pretty sudden. I thought I'd have a better time where I live now, but it was the same all over again.
Long story short, I realized no matter where I go, if it's a new country, school, etc, I can't change who I am or fake a new personality. Now I really miss my old home.
"You can run from anyone but yourself."
His voice and talent never fail to amaze me. I mean, I geniunely think nobody would ever dislike him for a valid reason.
THANK U FOR ANOTHER TIMELESS BOP ALEC
My husband found a way. He said he's too depressing. 🙄
@@kathystinson6285 oh no 😩
ua-cam.com/video/D9kM3xfh5oQ/v-deo.html
My sister thinks he's in the Illuminati sooo. He made a reference to selling his soul in one of his songs and she took it literally. For the record, she does like his music but I can't convince her it's just a metaphor for selling yourself...
@@-TheFacelessGamer- I mean I ain’t judging. I would sell my soul to anybody with a good price lol
damn... another song to play on repeat until i get sick of hearing just one second of it
This dude needs to be on the radio everywhere
Our shadows exist whenever there's light. It follows us wherever we go and it can be daunting, creepy and even haunting to think about. The moment we turn away from the light we come face to face with our shadow. However, if we face the light our shadows will be behind us, even walking along side us but as long as we're marching forward with our head held high facing the light the shadow can never ever be ahead of us, it can never overtake us. Seek out the light in any situation and follow it with your chin up and face it.
so true
❤️❤️
Very inspirational
This album is MY FAVORITE SO FAR
Alec Benjamin's music has helped me so much. The songs are so relatable and they comfort me when I need them. I'm eternally grateful that I exist in the same time period as an artist like him.
I discoverd alec around 2019 I think. He is the only artist whom I liked every song he made. I'm happy to see him grow as the whole world starts to recognize him, but at the same time a little sad that he's not that small gem anymore that I was lucky to discover.
bestie same
This song really ties with my past, and I just love how Alec is able to shape anything that rhymes together into a song.
I can't believe it's been 5 months already. I love this song so much
I find Alec’s music so special as I feel many people (myself included) are able to relate in some way or another, to the feelings he’s singing about. Listening to his songs, it’s soothing to know that I’m not alone in my struggles and his songs are something I can hold onto when the times get tough and I need some reassurance. 🥺 I’m so extremely excited for the new album ❤️
The way the light would move (especially in the room with the piano) was a very nice touch. It felt (for me) that it was like a symbol to time passing, insinuating that as time passes you still can't escape. You're left with just your shadow because (as said in the song) he moved away and ghosted people so he didn't have anyone to talk to but even so there was something lingering inside that reminds him of everything. Everything you do follows you like a shadow and it will be there forever whether in the dark or brought to light.
Very well done.
Every kid has tried to excape their shadow honestly. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's scary but eventually we learn that it's impossible to get rid of it and just learn to live with it.
This video is basically how i look whenever i listen to this song. The bobbing of the head, alone in a room, and acting like i’m in a music video.
Okay wow. Not only is this music video really cool, the song is so addictive. The chorus was stuck in my head all day.
I took several tests today and all I hear is: “everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind. Doesn’t matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me” 😂
I have waited years for this moment ✨ I love your songs it calms me down
It changes my life
His voice is so soothing 😩❤️❤️
things have really sucked for me lately i wont lie, and this song just describes it perfectly tbh. it is literally why alec is my favorite artist. not bc i think he has the best voice in the world or the best music or whatever, but bc he writes abt real issues, feelings, and thoughts and i can always relate to it. each song hits so hard in a good and bad way. it makes me wanna cry and let all my emotions out while also dance around the room blasting his songs. i am in love with this song and i truly will forever be in love with alec and his music. it saves me in a way everyone deserves to be saved. thank you for everything alec, and truly thank you for another song that hits in just the perfect way.
Another track to listen to when I'm at my worst headspace. Thank you Alec, you mean the world to me. Everytime my demons are calling me, I just put my earphones on and shuffle play all your songs. Your songs literally saved me, I thank you for that.
True peace lies in knowing and trusting your life to Yeshua.
@@valleyscharping That doesn't seem like an appropriate way to propose help to someone. In fact, it's inappropriate to the point where whether or not you are actually trying to help is questionable.
@@plkaso7515 The uncreated Creator is the only source of joy, peace, life, and love in all creation. There is nothing more helpful or caring that I can do than offer the good news that reconciliation with God be found in Yeshua/Jesus, and only Jesus, today.
@@valleyscharping First off, I'm sure a lot of people who have found happiness for themselves would claim otherwise, and second, when you just tell someone "jesus is good" seemingly out of nowhere, it feels like you're not trying to understand or connect with them. It makes you seen like one of those people that dogmatically advocate for blind faith, one of those people who are super easy for others to ignore and dehumanize. I think gaining some perspective for yourself would benefit you here.
His lyrics have so many meanings!! He seriously is the best I've listened to... death of a hero..."that night I put my youth in a casket and buried it inside of me" explains perfectly what I had to do after my best friend passed away a couple of years ago.
Amazing transitions. The lyrics as well, deep and relatable. Your voice is just over the top. Thank you so much for never letting us down!💛
Gosh I LOVE his voice!!! 🤩
I really am amazed how alec is able to word things in his songs, his lyrics are always so unique and intricate which i loveee
I love it! Every single one of your songs make me feel so many emotions. You're one of my favorite artists.
And that's the reason why he's my favorite singer! I absolutely love the album!!!
This hits harder since I've been doing (psychological) shadow work.... It's hard... You gotta face it head on... When you run it just gets bigger🙏🏾
Wow. Just, wow. No words. I was unable to look away from the clip, and the singing was so so beautiful. Still after 4 years of listening to you, you still keep surprising me with how good your songs turn out Alec. So much love, thank you for changing me for the better with just your voice and words
Oh wow we have similiar usernsmes
What are the odds haha
I love the way that this song is relatable and captures the side of life that we all hide, it's amazing how well the song has been framed in a way that we can all relate to it. This is arguably one of your best songs with the deepest meanings. Good luck for the future Alec!!!!
His voice is so soothing!
this man never this appoints us!
It's been 4 days and I've already listened to it already more than 100 times
same
Same!! My friends think I'm crazy because of that.
@@t_l9426 yeah, alec's songs is addictive i swear😩😭
definition of stan
@Eric Lu nah, its just his songs is addictive
This song is amazing and I feel really connected to it. I’ve been listening to Alec’s music since 2017/2018 and I love how much all of the songs tell a story. Thank you Alec
Same
me as a kid:
" everywhere i go my shadow follows me behind, something i come to realize after so long"
Thank you UA-cam algorithms. This is better than 99% of the crap on the radio
Extrañaba mucho tus canciones flaco, espero el álbum con ansias, nunca dejes de hacer música pls TE AMOOO
Alec Benjamin you are for me an accomplished artist, the very proof that music can be comforting for us. Your lyrics are devoid of vulgarity, and your intonating yet masterful voice always sends shivers down my spine.
You are without a doubt one of my favorite artists and now I understand that without your music life would be a mistake.
This song is soothing and classic as it comes
he's really motivation man.
So good
my english isnt fluent, and seriously i dont understand most of the lyrics, but.. every time i hear your song i feel so related without i even understand the song. thank you for bringing beautiful songs in my life.
Lyrics 💯
Melody 💯
Vocals 💯
Visuals 💯
Alec just writes masterpieces so easily. It's almost unbelievable. He's one in a million. 👑
I’d say one in a billion, but I do agree with you!
The lyric video of Shadow of mine ua-cam.com/video/-sgLplUC44k/v-deo.html
1 in 4.22M if you actually get the reference😂😂
@@m2carbine916 is it the subs on his channel? 😄
@@jose7317 yep xD
When i listen this song i feel so glad myself
:D you should
It's not possible to like every single song he drops
But it is :')
When Alec says his shadows follows him he's trying to convey that constant of fear of failure or depression can't leave him as easily people think so. I can assure that it's not as people think and that fear will not leave you easily
The talent Alec has for capturing extremely sensitive feelings so accurately in music is amazing, thank you
Love you Alec Benjamin
this song touched my soul
This song is beautiful and your voice is incredible. Your voice just fits with everything whether it’s happy or sad. I have been listening to your music for years and it still leaves me in awe. Great Job! Keep up the amazing work!!
И снова, Алек затрагивает душу и призывает не бояться себя, своей темной стороны и всегда стремиться к лучшему
Yes
This song is really underrated never heard this on the radio but it's a wonderful song that actually would do good if they played it here in Belgium
"maybe I'm the nexus, the common thread that binds, the problems in my head and the world that lives outside... " 😔so relatable
Alec, WTF. I have this on loop and dont have plans on stopping. Why did you make it so good? whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
IKRR TWT
Seriously speaking I just love this guy because each and every of his song are meaningful and applies to my life sometimes his voice is just so magical, wonderful, God gifted, Love you Benjamin 💖💖💖💖💖💖🇳🇬
Amo los sonidos que Alec incluye es simplemente maravilloso
A LENDA NUNCA ERRA!!! PARABÉNS QUE MÚSICA PERFEITAAAA 🛐🛐🛐🛐💜💜

Opa um Br kakaka
Que ganas tenía de escuchar su música, este chico es puro arte
Justo hoy estaba acordándome de esos días en los que escuchaba su música y me encantaba, decidí volver a escuchar sus canciones y luego de escuchar algunas me vengo a dar cuenta que sacó una nueva canción, yupi.
This track is so slept on it's almost insulting.
The cinematics of this video😍😍😍
La espera valió totalmente la pena, la amé, al escucharla siento un impulso que no puedo describir, Alec hace puro arte

¡Sí, es tan cierto! Estoy tan contenta de que mi primera canción de Alec que escuché fuera 'Water Fountain'
So glad I haven’t gone to sleep yet. Another great album coming!
what a voice
an another masterpiece from Alec Benjamin😍
LOS MEJORES TRES MINUTOS DE MI DÍA
He has done it again. His voice is freaking unique.
Cant wait for another song titled "Inside this mirror" maybe
