it wasn't easy for me to make this vid.. i dont really act and the intimate scenes in front of the camera gave me crazy anxiety .. but it was very important to me that i tell this story the right way .. so i stepped out of my comfort zone .. hope you like it . tickets for my tour are almost all sold out hope to see you there . www.alecbenjamin.com/tour/
I think Alec is one of the only artists that pours his heart out on all his tracks and is really personal with his fans. I am inspired to follow on the same lines, as an artist myself.
i feel like alec’s lyrics really just sneak their way inside your thoughts and make themselves at home and that warm feeling is just forever stuck with you
ikr just watching this (properly watching it, usually this song drowns me in the lyrics) made my stomach drop because of how awkward it must've been... Turned out better than best tho
A Random Guy Serene✨✨✨ I enjoyed listening to this 😌🎶 I wrote a song called *This Dream* by ninanile. It is about wanting a forever kind of love...soon. I hope you all check it out on my channel. Please share and subscribe
I love Alec don’t get me wrong. This is just a break-up, that is why it is so relatable and good of course, but there a huge amount of people who have been through a lot more so please don’t exaggerate it.
@@mathijsrikken yeah, but at the same time, the emotional pain of loving someone for years but helplessly watching them drift away from you has got to be hard. People have it harder, but it doesn't mean this doesn't hurt at all, too.
@@spencersteutermanngaming2065 One of my Ex broke up with me like 7 years during school. We both MOVED ON, but still after all those years, sometimes at late night I still wonder why she 'left' me , cause her excuse was something I couldn't digest EVER !
@@sisigachaslytherin4644 I don't really like to compare him with others because everyone has their taste for music... But in my opinion Alec is the best and he really deserves more recognition...
Same. I tend to doodle and wrote words and phrases down absentmindedly a lot so when I experienced a really bad breakup a while back I ripped up w bunch of pieces of paper that had my exes name and things like that written on them so those lines really hit home
LYRICS [Verse 1] Well, it all began in the back of her car I was just 16, but I fell so hard Well, the years went by and she held my heart But her love ran dry and we fell apart I felt her growing distant I knew her love was shifting And all that I could say was [Chorus] Don't tell me that it's over The book of you and I Now you've scribbled out my name And you've erased my favourite lines There were so many chapters that we never got to write Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night I remember where we started I remember how you looked But now I'm missing bits and pieces From the pages that you took You didn't give a reason now I'll forever wonder why We never got to finish the book of you and I [Verse 2] Well, I bought a pen and I turned the page Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stay I said all the things that I never got to say Maybe when it's done I will feel okay That she had grown so distant And that her love had shifted I wish she felt the same [Chorus] Don't tell me that it's over The book of you and I Now you've scribbled out my name And you've erased my favourite lines There were so many chapters that we never got to write Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night I remember where we started I remember how you looked But now I'm missing bits and pieces From the pages that you took You never gave a reason now I'll forever wonder why We never got to finish the book of you and I [Bridge] Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving My belly hurts and my heart is hardly beating right I hate to beg but I'll try one last time [Chorus] Don't tell me that it's over The book of you and I Now you've scribbled out my name And you've erased my favourite lines There were so many chapters that we never got to write Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night I remember where we started I remember how you looked But now I'm missing bits and pieces From the pages that you took You never gave a reason now I'll forever wonder why We never got to finish the book of you and I Wish you a great day 💙🙏🏻
This is random. But do you know this feeling when you get sad whenever you listen to an artist or a song a special person introduced to you , that isn’t on your side anymore?
I was standing by the water fountain in the end of the summer writing the book of you and I when I saw Steve being used to do Annabelle's homework and that reminded me how you let me down slowly after i killed some one for you, this happened 1 week after my friend revealed himself to be the wolf as the sheep and put a knife in my back.
@@mr.rabbit4755 Your mind isn't clear then, cuz you couldn't heard how clear his voice and how beautiful it is. I didn't say that you can't have your own opinion but the words you say could actually made someone mood suddenly goes down. You don't know how hard someone to keep believing in themself while there are so many ppl that keeps send hates and negative comments. And how could you even say that? It is way too clear to say that his voice is angelic.
*I’ve never been such a huge fan of an artist before, I feel a weird connection to your music and it’s so strange to say as a 20 year old. It really helps and I just love vibing to your soothing voice and meaningful lyrics*
Harsh Vardhan bruh wdym, his songs have DeEp mEaNIngS. Being a sane fan of alec I just wanna say that his songs do have a meaning and his voice is so nice and all but there is nothing DeEp about his songs, it’s like every other song of his, except a few like “I made a friend”. No hate tho and I don’t wanna attract unwanted attention of his stans.
This man never does crazy shit for limelight. Just pops up at the worst of times and drops a melody that's strikes a chord in our hearts. That's why I respect him a lot. It is just his music which talks to us not his Ego; which several eminent artists have tried to contain in vain.
This song is literally and completely how my last relationship ended. I fell in love with a childhood friend and I had never felt that way before. It was like everytime I saw him, all bad emotions would drain out of me. We stayed together but I slowly noticed him not wanting to come over, or hang out in general. I would ask him every day if he still loved me, and of course he said yes. Until one day he didn't. It was over just like that, I didn't get any reasons, but I knew it was over before it even ended.
I don't want to say I know exactly how you feel because everybody deals with things differently. But I can say I've had a similar situation. I fell in love with my best friend and after a year I told her. I stayed in the friendzone for about four months after that then she started to like me. Finally, after asking her to be with me for a couple weeks she said yes. When we were together everything was perfect. We were so close. But after about a month and a half, it seemed like she was drifting away. I didn't know what to do and I was scared. So I didn't say anything. I regret that so much. We had a class field trip and you would have never expected she would break up with me the next day. I was expecting it but like I said I didn't do anything. We had planned to talk that day and I was hoping I could fix this. In the end, I watched her walk away. But I want you to know one thing. It will get better someday. It has been almost a year since we broke up and I'm still not that ok, but I'm getting there. Someone will be there for you. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
I felt the same pain, my ex left me almost a year ago and I never got a real reason why, I eventually got a reason but it seemed artificial so I still sorta have small feelings but it still hurts
Does anyone else listen to a song and hear how broken an artist is or even just by seeing or meeting someone, and think that after all the shitty people they had to deal with, YOU could be the one who changes that? Giving them happiness and mending them...until you realize that that will never happen because no one will ever choose you...? Because I do
Me: Im going to sleep now Nobody : No one : Not even my mom : Alec Benjamin : wait here's the book of you and I. Goodnight (My new lullaby song starting tonight. Goodnight people!)
You've checked your phone enough. The night has rolled on . You're here to feel something . That person isn't there anymore for whatever reason. And it's okay to let it out. You're doing your best
He just knows when to drop a song... Why does this hurt so much? Now I want him back even more. I just wanna feel empty and NOT sad, just not sad. Can anyone relate?
I relate 100%. Just remember that you get to write a few chapters on your own now, spend some quality time falling in love with yourself, you got this 🌹
Songs are written to tweak the emotional heart strings and are pretty effective on the raw and naked feelings of youth. That's why music is so relatable. It's also the producer, engineers who help the musician with their experience and expertise to use notes, chords and melodies to produce a sound of melancholy or sadness. Yes, there is some manipulation of your poor feelings there. That's why producers in music studios are usually gifted individuals for record companies to make lots of money.
Awful onion chopping things that are the turmoil behind the chaos of life that you don't think about until you realise you've been crying for a good two minutes straight about hundreds of other reasons than what this was meant to be about, a breakup that is. Also, you get a like. :)
*LYRICS ARE HERE* [Verse 1] Well, it all began in the back of her car I was just sixteen, but I fell so hard Well, the years went by and she held my heart But her love ran dry and we fell apart [Pre-Chorus] I felt her growing distant I knew her love was shifting And all that I could say was [Chorus] Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I Now you've scribbled out my name And you've erased my favorite lines There were so many chapters that we never got to write Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night I remember where we started, I remember how you looked But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took You didn't give a reason, I'll forever wonder why We never got to finish the book of you and I [Verse 2] Well, I bought a pen and I turned the page Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stay I said all the things that I never got to say Maybe when it's done I will feel okay [Pre-Chorus] That she had grown so distant And that her love had shifted I wish she felt the same [Chorus] Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I Now you've scribbled out my name And you've erased my favorite lines There were so many chapters that we never got to write Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night I remember where we started, I remember how you looked But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why We never got to finish the book of you and I [Bridge] Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving My belly hurts and my heart is hardly beating right I hate to beg but I'll try one last time [Chorus] Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I Now you've scribbled out my name And you've erased my favorite lines There were so many chapters that we never got to write Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night I remember where we started, I remember how you looked But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why We never got to finish the book of you and I. *LOVE YOU ALEC*

listening to alecs songs is kind of like reading a book. every verse is a new chapter and you cannot stop listening until you've heard the whole story. it's remarkable
I've been avoiding listening to this song for the past few days because I knew it would hurt and make me cry. I did cry and I did hurt because all of this is so relevant to what's going on in my life right now, but that's okay, I really think I needed to here this today. Thanks Alec😊😔
Jeez Alec you’ve got me crying 😭 This song is beautiful, you’ve got so much talent and creativity! Your so underrated you so need so much more recognition! I have all of your songs on a playlist and listen to them all everyday. I love your songs, because all of them have meaning, they have a deeper meaning and have a story behind them. I sincerely hope in the future you get more recognition! Please like so Alec can see this please 🙏🏼
“Don’t tell me it’s over.” “So many pages we never got to write.” “How I wished you stayed.” Damn. Makes me want to have an imaginary ex to miss, lmao. For me, this would be the splitting of my family.
Alec's voice: "Hey, man!" My brain: "Hey wh--" Alec's voice: "Hey, so Imma just... stay here..." My brain: "Okay--" Alec's voice: *"I b r o u g h t s e r a t o n i n : - )"*
I got what I expected, and even more. I'd love to point again once again how meaningful are your songs. And not just that: there are other songs with great message, I won't lie. But the story. Oh god, the story! I have never ever heard an artist tell stories in songs in such a touching way. Even without the clip (which is also great; I read your pinned comment, believe me, It was worth it) you can understand it. Not with your ears, not with your brain, but with your heart. The lyrics is just great. I don't have words for that. And I haven't even mentoined the music! The guitar, your voice, how well the Rhythm is... Incredible job. Also, I have been here before the premier, and I just cannot watch the chat, it was so fast, with all the hearts, "I can't wait!" and other positive comments. It just made me smile. I think its really unfair, how underrated you are. Well, I guess its no ones, more like zhe world, the society's fault. People find an easy escape from the reality with music, a door for light-heartedness and happines, but that isn't what the case should be. And im glad you know it. Seeing the chat my eyes hurt But it just made me realise, that there still a lot of people who loves your music. Who understands it, and make them satisfied just like me. I guess those who really need it found you. Well, summary: Keep on going! You are on the best way you could be. And maybe my opinion doesn't really matter, I am just a nameless girl here,you maybe won't ever read thi, but I wanted to say thank you. Share peace and love!

This reminds me of someone I used to love... As a writer, I tend to write everything down... And I was really in love with him, so sometimes I'd just watch him and write a bunch of short stories, and sometimes chapters of my novels because I was so in love and I just wanted to write everything and treasure it... He was in love with me, and so one day he wanted to write our book together. He was writing for the first time so I taught him step by step to write his first chapter while I'd just improvise what he wrote... And then one day he fell in love with someone else... His ex... He told me he was never really in love with me, but was just trying to forget her... And so he tore up our book that I had to stay up just improvising what he wrote, the book that made me sleep at 5am and wake up at 7 after spending all night writing for him... I was broken since then and had stopped even wanting to write. All I want to do now is die... Knowing him and my best friend are happy together... How selfish I am...
This doesn't make you selfish. It makes your friend an idiot for being that way. If you think about it. He was the selfish one. Just took your feelings so that he could feel better and then leave you there. Tearing up the book is just a childish act. We all know that everyone reading this knows that. You spent so long and so hard trying to mend a relationship together. That is what you should remember. That you tried. And that guy wasn't good enough for you. He couldn't handle such amazing-ness (I know that isn't a word) from anyone. You don't have to die because of that either. You don't have to die because of someone else's mistakes. You aren't selfish. You're just you.
You should not call yourself selfish. First of all, if your friend knew you were in love with him, she should have never gotten with him but she did which makes her a bad friend. Second, he should have never played with your feelings. There are other ways to get over someone, dating some one else and playing with their feelings is bad. He knew you loved him and if he didn't love you, he should have just said it before he dated you so that you wouldn't have been as hurt as you are now. Please don't do something that will hurt the people who actually care about you. You are going to find so many better people who'll stay with you forever. And also, try writing one more time. Maybe about how he treated you and maybe it will help you get over him. 😊I wish the best for you

I am sat in my room crying and re listening too this song. My hair on end from the chills your voice gives me. We are all so blessed too have an artist like you who produces such intimate and meaningful songs
okay i’m just saying, i’ve never related to artist so much in my life. after he released mind is a prison and went on genius and said it was about his ocd, i cried. i have extremely bad ocd and anxiety and i’ve always felt crazy. but he seriously makes me feel so much better when i listen to his music so thank you alec benjamin for helping me ily.
This reminds me of the girl I met in grade 6th and she suddenly left school and never was able to meet her again in these 6 years, I still have a crush on her, it's been 6 years I'm taking all these feelings with me for her, now I've loosed my hope to find her but my feelings for her is still as strong as it was when I saw her for the first time.
The lyrics felt like they just slowly punctured my heart and I started violently crying by the end because when I broke up with my girlfriend it felt exactly like this. I loved her so much but she didn’t back and it hurt. It hurt to see my girlfriend, best friend since I was 5 just walk away without caring and now even turning back. She blamed me for so much that I didn’t do and yes it hurt, yes I cried for a year but I’m over it it just may take a while for the scar to heal. So thank you alec benjamin for your beautiful lyrics and beautiful songs
Well that was worth waiting for! Alec shared my cover on his Instagram story and I lost my sh*t lol would love it if anyone else got a minute to check it out 😊 can’t wait for album release day now! Unreal man
First time listening to this song : umm..It's good Second time listening to this song: ok I like this song Third time listening to this song : I love this song Fourth time listening to this song: I love love LOVE THIS SONG 😭😭
Hey Alec! So excited for the song, been following you ever since I heard “I Built a Friend” and has been a wonderful ride! Love your music and your voice! Can’t wait to hear this song too!
This moves me in ways I didn’t know I could move. His voice, his meaning, his emotion, all comes together to make this masterpiece that we call Alec Benjamin’s singing career. There is not one song that I’ve hear that I’ve thought ‘that’s terrible. I never wanna hear it.’ I could listen to any single one of his songs, and I’d be in love from the first word. Thank you Alec. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Never got to show her the love I could’ve shown her, but I never would’ve imagined the pain I felt to see her someone else’s arms and when one of my friends told me that she said I was “weird and ugly.” It broke me and I’ve never truly healed from it. I just want the emptiness and pain in my heart to go away so I can feel once more, but with Alec’s songs I know that there is a person who understands what I’m going through when no one else will help me.
i know that this response is basically a month late, but i hope you're doing better. If she really thought you were weird and ugly, she doesn't deserve the love you could have given her.
abby jones It’s okay if you are late, but thank you! I’m doing a little bit better, I’ve just been sad amidst the circumstances still but I try to look at it from a brighter side that there is a special person in this world for me and I just have to seek them out. It’s hard being alone through it all though and I wish there was a way to relieve that from my heart. I thank you for checking up on me and saying those kind words, Abby, you’ve made my day. ❤️
@@ghastlyjibberish1314 you're so welcome!! i feel 100% honoured to have made you feel appreciated. I hope you do get to find the person for you! You definitely deserve it. Have a good day/night & stay safe :) 💘
every time he releases a new song, that day, when i get home, i see the song, listen to it, and it ALWAYS relates to that day. does that happen to anyone else?
Me before the video started: It's gonna be heartbreaking, isn't it? The video: showing sad Alec playing his guitar in a dark room as a first shot Me: 💔
I swear from the bottom of my heart I love Alec so much. His music is so inspirational and moving. I discovered him through watching this video of a little boy dancing to his song "I built a Friend" and ever since I've been hooked to his music since. He's so underrated but he really is am awesome person and every time he drops a new song I love him even more because it's like he's sharing a piece of himself through his music which is so personal yet he does it every single time and everytime he does it he takes a part of me with him. Listening to Alec makes me feel like I'm on whatever journey he's on and I'm going through whatever he's going through with him and that's something that's so rare with artistes these days which is why I love this man so much. I pray that he continues to be the amazing artiste and person he is and maybe one day I'll be one of those persons he asks to sing to.😂💙🇯🇲🤞
he's a non-threatening master of his craft, and very easily emotive. that plus melody, chord progressions, and the video all make for a great piece of art. movies can play a similar trick on us as music. but your question was probably rhetorical so i'll just agree by saying: right!?

Waiting for this in class
I think Alec is one of the only artists that pours his heart out on all his tracks and is really personal with his fans. I am inspired to follow on the same lines, as an artist myself.
DonnyJ yeah I agree
I hope you do great things and surpass your goals!
I couldnt agree more..
... lauv as well!! his album just dropped :)
It's so truee
i feel like alec’s lyrics really just sneak their way inside your thoughts and make themselves at home and that warm feeling is just forever stuck with you
Exactly.
This could not be more accurate
This is it. You found a way to describe it. Thank you.
Ikr
honey ur welcome love
Can we just appreciate how he stepped out of his comfort zone to give a true and honest music video thank you Alec we love you ❤️
ikr just watching this (properly watching it, usually this song drowns me in the lyrics) made my stomach drop because of how awkward it must've been... Turned out better than best tho
That actually her? I figured it was an actress?
@@SoriethRisika noooo lol
She meant becuz he rly isn't comfortable with intimate scenes cuz it was awkward but I think he did rly well💜
Yes and his voice just puts you in a mood😔
This is the exact fact i thougtht
If Alec isn't one of the best writers of this generation...I must be living in another time
He is 😍
He's am excellent writer alongside John mayer
Hey Strangers ! I'm sorry for bringing this here :( But TBH this song gonna make you fell happy

Serene✨✨✨ I enjoyed listening to this 😌🎶
I wrote a song called *This Dream* by ninanile. It is about wanting a forever kind of love...soon. I hope you all check it out on my channel. Please share and subscribe
He 100% is, lyrical genius
This is the type of song that gives you the feeling of missing someone you've never met.
I have the same feeling missing a personn that i will never have..
Wake Up Violet ! Stop describing my feeling exactly, it’s creepy. All jokes aside though I feel the same way
true asf
How beautifully summed up. My heart felt the same way. Peace.
Someone needs to get this mans an emotional support animal because he’s been through some shit

I love Alec don’t get me wrong. This is just a break-up, that is why it is so relatable and good of course, but there a huge amount of people who have been through a lot more so please don’t exaggerate it.
@@mathijsrikken yeah, but at the same time, the emotional pain of loving someone for years but helplessly watching them drift away from you has got to be hard. People have it harder, but it doesn't mean this doesn't hurt at all, too.
It’s just breakups everyone’s experienced it. He just knows how to write the emotion into it
Taka Nai going to listen to it
THE BIG QUESTION IS WHY IS HE SO UNDERRATED??!!!!
IKR!? I love all his music. :)
because all big artists know that if he gets too big everyone will fall in love with him instead of them. he's just too good
I mean he got a million subs . . . Before he was underrated but now he deserves all of this love.
@Dawn Montague that's basically underrated lmao
Lack of promotions? Like promotions in tv or radio?
This song makes me feel nostalgic about a relationship I haved never had
Oh my gosh right!?😂

“youve scribbled out my name and erased my favorite lines” i write and this hits so hard
I know! I'm a writer as well and I guess it elevates the meaning of that line for us
Same. I tend to doodle and wrote words and phrases down absentmindedly a lot so when I experienced a really bad breakup a while back I ripped up w bunch of pieces of paper that had my exes name and things like that written on them so those lines really hit home
I can relate too well to u

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Well, it all began in the back of her car
I was just 16, but I fell so hard
Well, the years went by and she held my heart
But her love ran dry and we fell apart
I felt her growing distant
I knew her love was shifting
And all that I could say was
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that it's over
The book of you and I
Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favourite lines
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
I remember where we started
I remember how you looked
But now I'm missing bits and pieces
From the pages that you took
You didn't give a reason now I'll forever wonder why
We never got to finish the book of you and I
[Verse 2]
Well, I bought a pen and I turned the page
Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stay
I said all the things that I never got to say
Maybe when it's done I will feel okay
That she had grown so distant
And that her love had shifted
I wish she felt the same
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that it's over
The book of you and I
Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favourite lines
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
I remember where we started
I remember how you looked
But now I'm missing bits and pieces
From the pages that you took
You never gave a reason now I'll forever wonder why
We never got to finish the book of you and I
[Bridge]
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving
My belly hurts and my heart is hardly beating right
I hate to beg but I'll try one last time
[Chorus]
Don't tell me that it's over
The book of you and I
Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favourite lines
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
I remember where we started
I remember how you looked
But now I'm missing bits and pieces
From the pages that you took
You never gave a reason now I'll forever wonder why
We never got to finish the book of you and I

I was standing by the water fountain in the end of the summer writing the book of you and I when I saw Steve being used to do Annabelle's homework and that reminded me how you let me down slowly after i killed some one for you, this happened 1 week after my friend revealed himself to be the wolf as the sheep and put a knife in my back.

And how could you even say that? It is way too clear to say that his voice is angelic.

Phaha true
Harsh Vardhan bruh wdym, his songs have DeEp mEaNIngS. Being a sane fan of alec I just wanna say that his songs do have a meaning and his voice is so nice and all but there is nothing DeEp about his songs, it’s like every other song of his, except a few like “I made a friend”. No hate tho and I don’t wanna attract unwanted attention of his stans.
Have you ever listened to Baby Shark, now that’s some deep sh*t. ;(
This man never does crazy shit for limelight. Just pops up at the worst of times and drops a melody that's strikes a chord in our hearts. That's why I respect him a lot. It is just his music which talks to us not his Ego; which several eminent artists have tried to contain in vain.
Cereal for dinner... Hitting me in the feels.
Literally just had cereal for dinner while I was watching it. Kind of caught me by surprise. XD
Stages of listening to this:
1.🤩😍
2.😍🥺
3.😭😍
4.😭😭
For me it was 3 4 2 1
arlet x Seems pretty accurate
I went right to stage 4
This song is literally and completely how my last relationship ended. I fell in love with a childhood friend and I had never felt that way before. It was like everytime I saw him, all bad emotions would drain out of me. We stayed together but I slowly noticed him not wanting to come over, or hang out in general. I would ask him every day if he still loved me, and of course he said yes. Until one day he didn't. It was over just like that, I didn't get any reasons, but I knew it was over before it even ended.
I don't want to say I know exactly how you feel because everybody deals with things differently. But I can say I've had a similar situation. I fell in love with my best friend and after a year I told her. I stayed in the friendzone for about four months after that then she started to like me. Finally, after asking her to be with me for a couple weeks she said yes. When we were together everything was perfect. We were so close. But after about a month and a half, it seemed like she was drifting away. I didn't know what to do and I was scared. So I didn't say anything. I regret that so much. We had a class field trip and you would have never expected she would break up with me the next day. I was expecting it but like I said I didn't do anything. We had planned to talk that day and I was hoping I could fix this. In the end, I watched her walk away. But I want you to know one thing. It will get better someday. It has been almost a year since we broke up and I'm still not that ok, but I'm getting there. Someone will be there for you. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Stay strong honey, same story here , we grow up and time will heal us
Cassidy Rettke it sounds like a gatcha .. I understand how you feel tho :c
I felt the same pain, my ex left me almost a year ago and I never got a real reason why, I eventually got a reason but it seemed artificial so I still sorta have small feelings but it still hurts
I'm sorry but you don't need a man to be an great women
I’ve loved and sang this song for years but never saw the MV. I feel like crying just singing it again
Director: how many good songs are you gonna sing in a row?
Alec: Yes!!
Yes xd 69

You all know those pics where it’s like “name an artist that has NO bad songs?” Well here’s your answer: Alec Benjamin
So true mate, I never dislike any of his songs and he keeps getting better
Jenna Fitz truuuu
Does anyone else listen to a song and hear how broken an artist is or even just by seeing or meeting someone, and think that after all the shitty people they had to deal with, YOU could be the one who changes that? Giving them happiness and mending them...until you realize that that will never happen because no one will ever choose you...? Because I do
That is me in a nutshell
Omg,
I think
i have to the hospital.
Because my heart just melted.
Me: Im going to sleep now

@@LaurenceH0826 true HAHAHAAHAA
He just knows when to drop a song... Why does this hurt so much? Now I want him back even more. I just wanna feel empty and NOT sad, just not sad. Can anyone relate?
I relate 100%. Just remember that you get to write a few chapters on your own now, spend some quality time falling in love with yourself, you got this 🌹
Songs are written to tweak the emotional heart strings and are pretty effective on the raw and naked feelings of youth. That's why music is so relatable. It's also the producer, engineers who help the musician with their experience and expertise to use notes, chords and melodies to produce a sound of melancholy or sadness. Yes, there is some manipulation of your poor feelings there. That's why producers in music studios are usually gifted individuals for record companies to make lots of money.
Actually I want to feel sad and not empty. I don't miss any ex, but I've been in pain for so many years that it's hard to stop dissociate yet.
*raises hand*
Alec: *Releases new song*
Everyone: _Damm those onion chopping ninjas_
Awful onion chopping things that are the turmoil behind the chaos of life that you don't think about until you realise you've been crying for a good two minutes straight about hundreds of other reasons than what this was meant to be about, a breakup that is. Also, you get a like. :)

that moment when you realize that you're so empty that you can't cry anymore !
I got what I expected, and even more. I'd love to point again once again how meaningful are your songs. And not just that: there are other songs with great message, I won't lie. But the story. Oh god, the story! I have never ever heard an artist tell stories in songs in such a touching way. Even without the clip (which is also great; I read your pinned comment, believe me, It was worth it) you can understand it. Not with your ears, not with your brain, but with your heart. The lyrics is just great. I don't have words for that. And I haven't even mentoined the music! The guitar, your voice, how well the Rhythm is... Incredible job.
Also, I have been here before the premier, and I just cannot watch the chat, it was so fast, with all the hearts, "I can't wait!" and other positive comments. It just made me smile. I think its really unfair, how underrated you are. Well, I guess its no ones, more like zhe world, the society's fault. People find an easy escape from the reality with music, a door for light-heartedness and happines, but that isn't what the case should be. And im glad you know it. Seeing the chat my eyes hurt But it just made me realise, that there still a lot of people who loves your music. Who understands it, and make them satisfied just like me. I guess those who really need it found you.
Well, summary: Keep on going! You are on the best way you could be. And maybe my opinion doesn't really matter, I am just a nameless girl here,you maybe won't ever read thi, but I wanted to say thank you.
Share peace and love!
Damn, u got really into Detail :). Nice from u to write such loving words. Hope u also can share peace and love ;)

Dude stop everyone loves this song
@@broooomstar Ok..I get it....I just asked ..you don't have to be so mean 😔😟
I'm a limelight and a fan of Alec Benjamin too
This reminds me of someone I used to love...
As a writer, I tend to write everything down... And I was really in love with him, so sometimes I'd just watch him and write a bunch of short stories, and sometimes chapters of my novels because I was so in love and I just wanted to write everything and treasure it...
He was in love with me, and so one day he wanted to write our book together. He was writing for the first time so I taught him step by step to write his first chapter while I'd just improvise what he wrote...
And then one day he fell in love with someone else... His ex...
He told me he was never really in love with me, but was just trying to forget her... And so he tore up our book that I had to stay up just improvising what he wrote, the book that made me sleep at 5am and wake up at 7 after spending all night writing for him...
I was broken since then and had stopped even wanting to write.
All I want to do now is die...
Knowing him and my best friend are happy together...
How selfish I am...
This doesn't make you selfish. It makes your friend an idiot for being that way. If you think about it. He was the selfish one. Just took your feelings so that he could feel better and then leave you there. Tearing up the book is just a childish act. We all know that everyone reading this knows that. You spent so long and so hard trying to mend a relationship together. That is what you should remember. That you tried. And that guy wasn't good enough for you. He couldn't handle such amazing-ness (I know that isn't a word) from anyone. You don't have to die because of that either. You don't have to die because of someone else's mistakes. You aren't selfish. You're just you.
You should not call yourself selfish. First of all, if your friend knew you were in love with him, she should have never gotten with him but she did which makes her a bad friend. Second, he should have never played with your feelings. There are other ways to get over someone, dating some one else and playing with their feelings is bad. He knew you loved him and if he didn't love you, he should have just said it before he dated you so that you wouldn't have been as hurt as you are now.
Please don't do something that will hurt the people who actually care about you. You are going to find so many better people who'll stay with you forever.
And also, try writing one more time. Maybe about how he treated you and maybe it will help you get over him.
😊I wish the best for you
This world may be unfair but don't be unfair to yourself :c

Hey Strangers ! I'm sorry for bringing this here :( But TBH this song gonna make you fell happy
ua-cam.com/video/qFNdlSZcPkM/v-deo.html
I am sat in my room crying and re listening too this song. My hair on end from the chills your voice gives me. We are all so blessed too have an artist like you who produces such intimate and meaningful songs
okay i’m just saying, i’ve never related to artist so much in my life. after he released mind is a prison and went on genius and said it was about his ocd, i cried. i have extremely bad ocd and anxiety and i’ve always felt crazy. but he seriously makes me feel so much better when i listen to his music so thank you alec benjamin for helping me ily.
This reminds me of the girl I met in grade 6th and she suddenly left school and never was able to meet her again in these 6 years, I still have a crush on her, it's been 6 years I'm taking all these feelings with me for her, now I've loosed my hope to find her but my feelings for her is still as strong as it was when I saw her for the first time.
The lyrics felt like they just slowly punctured my heart and I started violently crying by the end because when I broke up with my girlfriend it felt exactly like this. I loved her so much but she didn’t back and it hurt. It hurt to see my girlfriend, best friend since I was 5 just walk away without caring and now even turning back. She blamed me for so much that I didn’t do and yes it hurt, yes I cried for a year but I’m over it it just may take a while for the scar to heal. So thank you alec benjamin for your beautiful lyrics and beautiful songs
It feels like everyone is at school LMAO!!!!! But I'm home cuz the song is gonna be out at 9 pm here :D

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
this song hits different when u have a certain person on your mind
this song brings back so many memories man
THIS IS 1AM FOR ME AND ALL I WANNA DO IS LISTEN TO MY ANGEL
I'm crying. He's so talented.
Hey Alec! So excited for the song, been following you ever since I heard “I Built a Friend” and has been a wonderful ride! Love your music and your voice! Can’t wait to hear this song too!
Same ah I wanna it to start
Can't Imagine a day without listening to his angelic voice and those mesmerizing words !!
This moves me in ways I didn’t know I could move. His voice, his meaning, his emotion, all comes together to make this masterpiece that we call Alec Benjamin’s singing career. There is not one song that I’ve hear that I’ve thought ‘that’s terrible. I never wanna hear it.’ I could listen to any single one of his songs, and I’d be in love from the first word. Thank you Alec. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was supposed to go to school today but I didn't and now I realise that's awesome because I can watch the premiere now...
So was I, but I was sick. Yay, stomach bugs.
Same
@@petalpielily6740 I'm not sick but I didn't go to school for some other reason... Hope you're OK now! ❤️
Alec Benjamin new song The Book Of You And I lyrics
ua-cam.com/video/NddqQMRZtd8/v-deo.html
for me it is 7:21 pm because I live in Germany, I already had school today
“Just don’t write a book about you and another guy”
LOL
Never got to show her the love I could’ve shown her, but I never would’ve imagined the pain I felt to see her someone else’s arms and when one of my friends told me that she said I was “weird and ugly.”
It broke me and I’ve never truly healed from it. I just want the emptiness and pain in my heart to go away so I can feel once more, but with Alec’s songs I know that there is a person who understands what I’m going through when no one else will help me.
i know that this response is basically a month late, but i hope you're doing better. If she really thought you were weird and ugly, she doesn't deserve the love you could have given her.
abby jones It’s okay if you are late, but thank you! I’m doing a little bit better, I’ve just been sad amidst the circumstances still but I try to look at it from a brighter side that there is a special person in this world for me and I just have to seek them out. It’s hard being alone through it all though and I wish there was a way to relieve that from my heart. I thank you for checking up on me and saying those kind words, Abby, you’ve made my day. ❤️
@@ghastlyjibberish1314 you're so welcome!! i feel 100% honoured to have made you feel appreciated. I hope you do get to find the person for you! You definitely deserve it. Have a good day/night & stay safe :) 💘
every time he releases a new song, that day, when i get home, i see the song, listen to it, and it ALWAYS relates to that day. does that happen to anyone else?
This is gonna be a big hit cause it's a perfect song for Alec's voice.
Me before the video started: It's gonna be heartbreaking, isn't it?
The video: showing sad Alec playing his guitar in a dark room as a first shot
Me: 💔
I felt bad remembering my ex,😥 then I realised I'm single and never fell in love😄 ur songs are too deep buddy love u😍🤗
I swear from the bottom of my heart I love Alec so much. His music is so inspirational and moving. I discovered him through watching this video of a little boy dancing to his song "I built a Friend" and ever since I've been hooked to his music since. He's so underrated but he really is am awesome person and every time he drops a new song I love him even more because it's like he's sharing a piece of himself through his music which is so personal yet he does it every single time and everytime he does it he takes a part of me with him. Listening to Alec makes me feel like I'm on whatever journey he's on and I'm going through whatever he's going through with him and that's something that's so rare with artistes these days which is why I love this man so much. I pray that he continues to be the amazing artiste and person he is and maybe one day I'll be one of those persons he asks to sing to.😂💙🇯🇲🤞
why the hell am i crying and i have NEVER had a boyfriend like whaatt
he's a non-threatening master of his craft, and very easily emotive. that plus melody, chord progressions, and the video all make for a great piece of art. movies can play a similar trick on us as music. but your question was probably rhetorical so i'll just agree by saying: right!?
Cause this song is pure emotions
I CAN JUST IMAGINE HOW WOULD THE GIRL THAT SONG IS ABOUT REACT IF SHE SEES THIS....
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT! IMAGINE BEING HER!!
@@emilier.6780 I wouldn't be happy if I was at her place...
@@sonja1355 true lol
Your songs makes people who dont wanna fell anymore feel so much. it is amazing,i love you so much dude.
