"We're starting with boy in the bubble"
Oh god bill why
A wholesome boy listening to another wholesome boy. Best day ever.
Two sweet boys
What better could you want?
Your profile picture 👉👈
What's better than a wholesome boy? *Two wholesome boys.*
Sooo the artist watched and commented within an hour of upload? Plot twist: Alec Benjamin has been a fan of Bill and has been waiting for this video too 🖤
....i stan this theory :')
Bill: this could be a sad day
Me: *nods vigorously*
Bill: you’re nodding
me: WAIT-
bill: “it could be a fun bubble!”
me: oh no..
ur mum me too
i was legit gonna make the exact same comment
ur mum Lmaoaoa frrrrr
"I don't know anything about the artist, so it could be a fun bubble?"
Oh Bill..
But do you know your own fanbase at this point?
Honestly I think we all follow you now, so we all feel better for crying so much to the music we listen to.
Very true, at this point I think Bill should expect all song to be deep and emotional.
so true omg
Could You Do “Death Of A Hero”, “If We Have Each Other”, “Gotta Be A Reason”, “Let Me Down Slowly”, And “Outrunning Karma”?
Yesss he should.
I was waiting for let me down slowly the entire time :'(
yesyesyes
and “I Built A Friend”!!
I built a friend too
First words: "If Build a friend is here, I am prepared to see Bill just *break* "
Jozoëph Sceptre that was my second thought, my first was “i wanna see the realization moment in ‘if i killed someone for you’”
For a part 2 I suggest ‘Annabelle’s Homework’ ‘Steve’ ‘Death of a Hero’ and ‘If We Have Each Other’
And karma, paper crown, and swim
All of these please lol
Wolf and the Sheep is another good one!!!
Oh, and I built a friend and let me down slowly. Those are some of the first I ever heard.
I think he should listen to all of his songs. guess now I understand why everyone asked him to react to ALEC BENJAMIN. ahahhahah. he said that in the beginning of this video that no one told him which song he should react to, everyone just said ALEC BENJAMIN ALEC BENJAMIN ALEC BENJAMIN!!!!
If We Have Each Other, Jesus in LA, Outrunning Karma, Let Me Down Slowly, and Steve are some other good songs by him if you make another TTS: Alec Benjamin
Nothing But Table yasss
I love all of these songs
Outrunning karma is my favorite song by alec
Don’t forget “There’s gotta be a reason” he would 100% cry on that one
@@catcactus1234 oooh, that's true
You nEeD to Listen to his songs "Demons" "Oh My God" "If we have eachother" and "Water fountain" !! Also some Demos you should listen to are "Cause it Hurts" "How it feels to be replaced" "My Mothers Eyes" and a couple others!! Love the reaction btw!! 😊😊😊
oh god, imagine if he listens to "I Built A Friend", "Lock Me Up For Life", and "Use Me"
6 Feet Apart
Don't forget about "Knife in my back"
Together we’ll fall, and his older songs as well
What about OINV
For you to check out next of alec's.
- Demons
- Steve
- Paper crown
- Gabriël
- Death of a hero
- I built a friend
Arwen Vogelenzang love is a fragile dance is my favorite Alec song, it is in my opinion it’s his saddest song it makes we cry every time I hear it.❤️💕
yes!! his older songs are so amazing and Gabriel slaps so hard
I built a friend, Paper crown, and Gabriel are my absolute favorites
@@sofiac114 omg I love that song
Gabriel is amazing. It was the first Alec Benjamin song I ever heard and it’s still one of my favorites.
I think that Alec has so many good songs, especially his “older” ones. So it would be great if you could react to more. Some of those are:
“If We Have Each Other”
“Death of a Hero”
“Saddest Song”
“My Mother’s Eyes”
“1994”
yesss i can't wait to watch his reaction to these songs
He needs to listen to “Use Me” too!!
Yesss! Death of a hero and 1994 are both some of my favorites!
Knife in my Back
The Way to Nowhere
I Built a Friend
Medicine Man
and Pretending
would all be great for him to listen to as well.
I've heard all of these except Saddest Song ,thanks for recommending !
The way Alec Benjamin writes his music is so unique and special. He did an interview with Eric Nam where he explains how some of his songs were created in case anyone is interested. The podcast is called "I think your dope" and it's ep 3. You can watch the whole thing here on UA-cam.
THEY DID A WHAT??????
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?????
I
Am
In
Tears
Damn man I didn't know that either....I wanna see it
Alec could’ve become a writer with how his songs play out like stories. Instead, he became a singer. So we’re blessed by this angel’s melodic voice and meaningful lyrics.
Alec is a modern-day Apollo. An urban Orpheus.
Imagine if Alec did something based on a Greek Myth(Like Orpheus)
Or someone like Hephaestus cause he got wronged so many times in Olympus.
Average Hades enjoyer
All of Alec's songs have a meaning that a lot of people can relate to and he is so down to earth too!
Bill: being really touched by Boy In The Bubble end
Me: OMG HE HAS TO REACT TO MUST HAVE BEEN THE WIND NEXT!!
Bill: so i'm gonna listen to MHBTW
Me: YASYASYASKSJAUSISOAA
😂😂
bill: absolutely blows my mind with his interpretations every single time
also bill: does that make sense?
haha yeah, gotta work on not doubting myself. It's hard to do when you have to wait over a week to see a response!
@@thethirdbill yeah i totally get you!
The third bill
I’m working on not doubting myself too. We can both do it even if confidence is hard sometimes!
I would EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY highly recommend "if we have each other" "water fountain" and "I built a friend". All very very powerful stories. But everything he's produced is so strong and beautiful.
ALEC BENJAMIN HAS ALOT OF AMAZING SONGS
I read this as socks and I wasn't surprised, my brain just went 'probably yeah'
Allie_Not_Allix this is my favorite reply to any comment ever
If you're gonna do part two of this, please check "if we have each other" this song just gives so much emotions
Amaranth K that song gets me every time. It all chills and tears.
YES! this never fails to get to me 😢🤫
11:53 "Yeah....girl you need to call somebody."
12:00 "oh....OH!!!"
12:09 "oooh....MAN!" 🤣🤣
Can you do ben platt?:
Grow as we go
Bad habit
Ease my mind
In case you don’t live forever
I'm with you man, Ben Platt is my most favourite English singer
Ben platt is king 🤴
Yassss
Y E S
Alex Hoffmann Yes omg his voice is heavenly 😩😁
I would love to see a trying to stan of Benny, especially “little game” and “boys will be boys”
SAME
Yes yes yes yes yes
YES
yass, that would be incredible...
!!!! Best rec, I feel like Benny's stuff would hit him hard
"You guys still haven't led me wrong"
That is up for interpretation, you do feel tremendous amounts of emotion per episode. So much so, I'm confident in saying you go into an emotional coma post recording a block of videos. I feel like we should recommend at least one artist who's nothing but happy times as like a palette cleanser.
Tru, I feel so bad sometimes
And yet you and I both know we've both suggested sad people.
You've got me there.
You should totally do more, some I'd suggest are:
Stranger to myself
Death of a hero
I built a friend
The book of you and I
You should do NF!! some songs I'd suggest:
How could you leave us
Therapy session
Paralyzed
I miss the days
Mansion
Remember this (one of my faves)
Hate myself
...actually every nf song is worth of listening, you'll see :)
Nate is my fave song from him
@@devinlaker9237 that's such a good one too!!
If you want love and My stress are also a great songs! But yeah you're right every single song of NF is great! :)
YES!!!
Yessssss
I literally whisper-exclaimed "yesss!" when i saw this notification! haha im glad u finally got around to him !!
Can you do more of his songs? Like “I built a friend” or “paper crown”? They’re a little older, but I think you’ll like them as much as these ones!
Blue Bell
Paper Crown was my favorite song for a while! I also really love I Built A Friend!
I built a friend hits H A R D
I cant listen to I Built A Friend without breaking down crying to this day
Blue Bell both of these make me feel so emotional omg
and maybe death of a hero and the water fountain
Water fountain, Book of you and I, Steve, and Outrunning Karma are some more beautiful ones from Alec Benjamin (also follow his TikTok, he’s the sweetest thing)
Only video I’ve seen from him but having him explain alec’s music has given me more respect not only for him but made me realize just how great of a writer Alec is
Every time Bill starts crying in these vids I really want to give him a hug. Poor guy
*digital hug received and reciprocated* :')
Hey bill thank you for taking a listen to Alec Benjamin for pt 2??
Steve
Swim
Pretending
Jesus in LA
Oh my god
If we have each other
I built a friend
Death of a hero
last of her kind
gabriel
my mothers eyes
paper crown
I love your stuff because it makes me feel that I am watching these again.
yes to all of these
@@lemonhoney6310
Can you do a part two with “together we’ll fall” and “paper crown” please :)
You shouls look at “My Mothers Eyes“ and “The Wolf and the Sheep“ by him aswell, there my absolute favorites and I think you’ll like My Mothers Eyes.
Luna Jenkins the wolf and the sheep has such an interesting meaning- my mothers eyes (as far as i remember?) is much more straightforward, but i love itt
I love Alec . His songs have their own little stories that play out like little movies. I love your videos and I love your interpretations. I loved your reaction in if I killed someone for you that was how I reacted too it was amazing.
Yeeeees finally thank you
If you want more of him :
Let me down slowly
The water fountain
If we have each other
Oh my God
paper crown too! its my favorite
Older is also super touching
trying to stan anson seabra! specifically:
I cant carry this anymore
last time
that's us
broken
Oh yes, I would love that!
Also the songs I would love to see him react to:
Can you hear me
Welcome to wonderland
Hindenburg lover
I agree! I also really liked “Hold Your Head Up Princess” even though it was really short.
Abby Cramer yessssssss
yessss! his song robin hood is my all time favorite piece of music
Can You Hear Me, Trying My Best, and Hindenburg lover would be nice too!
“Secure another rope” is meant to escape from the prison and how people escape from actual prisons. So you are correct in your analysis, well done.
I really recommend Mother Mother and the songs "It's alright" and "Body"
I agree Mother Mother would be fantastic, "Body" and "It's alright" are definitely some of my favorites along with "I Go Hungry", "I Must Cry Out Loud", and "Bottom Is A Rock".
I definitely need that in my life. I Go Hungry is a very important song to me but just to tack on another Back In School is one of my favorites
he would probably have to also do ghosting cause that's a classic. oh ana is also a great song.
Little Pistol or Back in School are both other awesome ones by them
Ooh I love Oh Ana!
Grandson
Songs:
Blood//water
Darkside
Stick up
Rock bottom
Despicable
Apologise
İ would also like to add:
Thoughts and prayers
6:00
Yess
Bury me face down
@@lilithtanay2019 yes thoughts and prayers is great also I loveee despicable
oh no here we go he’s gonna cry
honestly me too
“You can’t drown! I just met you!”
I love this
lmao the other day i was wondering why ive been saying "sir" so often lately.... its because of you bill!!! 😂😂💀
if there would be a part two to Alec Benjimen then DEFINATLEY listen to "if we have each other" ,, i cry everytime i listen to it
I love how he calls him "sir" when he mentions him
Try to stan dodie clark, her songs are so beautiful.
Song suggestions:
-Human
-6/10
-monster
-you
-intertwined
-in the middle
-boys like you
-secret for the mad
"Would you be so kind" is also an amazing song of hers
And sick of losing soulmates
"You can stay here for an hour or two, if you ever need a friend" Is in my opinion one of the best lines from AB
TriXJester hell yeah
Yeah that part always gives me the chills 🙊
I love your channel because it feels like showing your favorite music to a friend but you actually listen to it
you just perfectly described it!💜
:')
Listening to him Listening to “if I kill someone for you” and him slowly understanding it, was amazing
You know one you might like? It's by Alec Benjamin, called "I Built a Friend." It's sad, but it's really good. If you haven't heard it already, I recommend it!
I loved ur reaction to the twist in If I Killed Someone For You. That's honestly how I reacted too lol
I loved his reaction to every song. I literally had the same reaction when I first listened Alec's music
You should do Harry Styles .
Songs : Falling
Adore you
Sign of the times
Sign* of the times, but yes I agree😄
Yes!! Also: TPWK and sweet creature I think he would like those :)
Also kiwi
I think you'd enjoy Troye Sivan's Blue Neighborhood Trilogy.
trying to stan NF? his music is so deep but heavy, i highly recommend How Could You Leave Us (that song just hurts to listen to), Nate, Mansion, and Change
NATE IS GREAT
Yessssss
Intro 3 really got me into NFs music. Therapy Session and Let You Down are good too
You should do Let Me Down Slowly by Alec Benjamin
yes bill!! I've been waiting for your reactions to alec! his voice is so soothing and his lyrics are all so beautiful
he's so good at telling stories through his music
must've been the wind is one of my favorite songs it's soo beautiful and so touching 🥺🥺
kill someone for you is an incredible song. the twist!! so good.
Here's more really good Alec Benjamin songs for the future:
If We Have Each Other
Gotta Be A Reason
Outrunning Karma
Demons
"You can't down I just met you!" Omg, my favourite sentence ever. So precious!
could you please listen to AJR, they have an interesting mix of songs so like I recommend you listen to bang, turning out, karma, don't throw out my legos, and turning out part to they are a really amazing band
YESSSS ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES IS "IF I BREAK MY FACE"
*please try to stan "NF"; his lyrics are beautiful and meaningful and his music videos are movie-quality*
(songs like "The Search", "WHY", "How could you leave us", "Outcast", "Mansion")
Yeeees!! I'd also recommend Paralyzed
Or Trauma?
Yess i commented this aswellll
yesss
Therapy Session
Lie
And Time
Are also super beautiful.
NF : why, let you down, mansion, how could you leave us, and leave me alone (im shocked you havent listened to nf yet honestly unless i suck at looking stuff up lmao)
Tea Shade nf is a king
12:50 is so me when i first listened to that song
bill: listens to if i killed to someone for you* 😳 alec benjamin fans: knowing there is a twist* 😏
@thethirdbill the next time you react to Alec you should listen to: Demons, Let me down slowly, Outrunning Karma, Gotta be a reason, Jesus in LA and finally Oh my god
Gotta be a reason is amazing oml
I just realized that there are so many other songs of Alec that are great but these are my favorite songs, but if there is one song that I should have put it's The knife in my back, I can relate to that song so badly....
My absolute favorites
I think you would really enjoy AJR! They have a song talking about The Office! If you do a video about them I suggest:
Birthday Party
Don’t Throw Out My Legos
Dear Winter
Netflix Trip
Call My Dad
They’re such an awesome band of brothers, I think you’ll really enjoy them
I LOVE AJR T^T
Yes!!!!
Here are some other songs you should react to by Alec:
- Let me down slowly
- Water fountain
- The knife in my back
- If We Have Each Other
I've Stan Alec Benjamin since his paper crown song and honestly he's helped me alot
some more from alec: death of a hero, steve, if we have eachother, jesus in la, oh my god

-Sweater weather

And many many more ❤️
Flatsound is also an amazing artist but his songs always make me cry
Yes yes and yessss
@@meh6765 I'm glad you agree
Based on some of the things you've done, can I recommend the songs from Sander Sides? It's a video series on UA-cam by Thomas Sanders, and it touches on very important subjects through discussion or music, and I highly recommend it! Some of my favorite songs: Forbidden Fruit, Incomplete, and New Years Lies! There aren't many of them, but I love them and I think you'll appreciate one or two of them! Thomas Sanders also sings songs outside of the series, I highly recommend The Things We Used To Share, On The Borderline, and Recipe For Me! I love your videos, keep doing what you do!
Trying to stan: Lukas Graham. Like his songs; Here, scars, 7 years and not a damn thing changed.
Etcchi not a damn thing changes is godly
Also “Off to see the world”
I found that song through someone else’s Spotify playlist, their playlist is named “downloads” and I found it when I was looking for songs I had downloaded. I added the song and it’s such a great song!! If you haven’t heard it you should check it out!
Alec Benjamin is honestly so amazing. I hope one day he makes a collab with Billie Eilish. I love to watch your videos the way you express your emotions so willingly and fully is amazing unlike some guys. If you do listen to anything else i suggest maybe Oliver Tree or Tones and I
"U can't drown, I just met u!" 😆🥰love it
You should react to dodie, she is a singer, author and youtuber. some of her songs are: Human, When, She, Guiltless, An Awkward Duet, Would you be so kind, Sick of Losing Soulmates and 6/10.
Also maybe a love song/a non love song
I already watched his dodie video but I'm kind of sad he didn't do An Awkward Duet. That one is so fun.
me seeing this notification: YES!
me remembering how emo alec's music is: y-YEs!
I have a request if you could do Jack Stauber
Hell yes!!!
Definitely!
Buttercup
Too time
Shop opera
Oh klahoma
And my plea!
Anson Seabra has a similar storytelling ability. I suggest listening to "Welcome to Wonderland," "Emerald Eyes," "Trying My Best," and "Robin Hood."
"it could be a fun bubble"
laughs at your soon to be pain
Please make a vid about Hozier again but with "Jackie and Wilson" and " dinner and diatribes"
Also Talk, Run, and Sing!!
Would love to see you react to Melanie Martinez's K-12 album!! the order of the songs is pretty important, I bet we all wouldn't mind how long the video is!!
yES YES YES
Oooo I would love that!
You forgot the most lovely one for me "if we have each other"
i feel like their should be an “oh sh*t” counter now
or just a swear counter
Ok but I think its time to completely destroy his emotions: react to sleeping at last (some songs I‘d recommend-eight, sorrow, touch, daughter, two, son, nine, saturn) they were the only thing that made me cry or at least tear up for a loooong time cause their music is sOO emotional. I‘d really appreciate if you would react to them!
I feel that Saturn, Sight and Two are too beautiful to ignore if he does Sleeping at Last
Oh shit I gotta jump on that, sleeping at last made me cry so much the first time i listened to em
I'd rec Saturn, Light and Mercury as my personal faves
yes yes yes!!! definitely some of the enneagram songs!!
Also light, heirloom, and east
yessss. earth might also be a good song for him to look at.
some of my favorite songs by him are water fountain, anabelles homework, and if we have eachother
Hi i dont know if you'll see this, but please do a "trying to stan: EDEN" video. His songs manage to get me through tough times and I love them.
4 song reccomendations are:
1. Falling in reverse
2. Wake up
3. and
4. Crash
The 2 that i REALLY want to see in that video (if you even make the video let alone see this comment) are "Wake Up" and "Falling in Reverse" (also yes, "and" is actually one if his songs-)
No pressure to make this video, and if you have already then just ignore this comment ;-;
I love this series, amazing and very well done :)
AJR!
Sober up
Turning out
Karma
Burn the whole house down
I'm not famous
Overture
And there are so many more but those are some of my favorites!
I recommend Jeremy zucker, he just released a new album. I recommend hell or flying, full stop, always I'll care and orchid! Great video
definitely full stop. it is sooooo good. but may i also recommend lakehouse and somebody loves you
TTS Bastille!!!
(Oblivion, Doom Days, Those Nights, Send Them Off!, Blame, Quarter Past Midnight)
Icarus, Pompeii, Daniel in the Den, Happier, Glory
and good grief
Yes, Send Them Off! and Quarter Past Midnight!!!!
Some of my favourite Alec Benjamin songs are Water Fountain, 1994, If we have each other and Steve
"MR BENJAMIN GET UP!!" why is a grown man so cute 😭😭
I'm happy you're doing this 😊 I had asked for this. He's got a way of being extremely upsetting while making you understand. He's good at making you feel not alone. You should listen to Demons from him
Edit: there are some Genius videos where he explains some of his lyrics. I think you'd enjoy them
YEEEES FINALLY, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS !! THANK YOU!
