Fairly new Ben fan here, found him on Insta when his “Head Honcho” song came across my reels. Well I’m here to say I came for the reels, stayed for the feels. I just watched this for the first time with my kids. We danced, I cried (Heroes anyone?), and there was joy. Thanks Ben for your music. It’s given me life as we’ve come out of a rough season. You’ve permeated all my playlists and it’s truly a breath of fresh air.
The amount of love I have for this whole film and this whole album is unreal. I just discovered your music back in the summer of 2019, and honestly, I’m so glad I did. Thank you Ben Rector for being you, and for being a lovely artist to listen to!
This is such a beautiful album. My husband passed away unexpectedly last summer, and somehow I found this album. And God uses it to brighten my days and remind me that He’s still got dreams for me. Thank you!
So happy to get to rewatch and share this! I’ve *Ben* a fan for 10+ years, “Forever Like That” was our wedding song and I’ve seen you in concert 3 times 😊 The last time was in March 2020 when I was technically in labor with my son 🤰🏻and I still told my husband that I was going to the show and I stood in a super long merch line for a t-shirt 😅😅 I joked about naming him Ben, but we ended up on Alvin 💙 My household will always play your music and root your writing on. And I can’t wait to take my son to one of your concerts again someday! He’ll probably dance as much as he did the last time in my belly 😜 Thanks for sharing all the Joy with your music! ❤️❤️❤️
Ben Rector was struck by creative lightning back during the pandemic and is a lyrical genius inches away from superstardom if he chooses it. Doubtful since he is a devoted family man with twins enjoying the simple pleasures that NOT be famous allows. #benrectorismyhero
The sheer beauty of this video makes me cry like a child. (One that grew up idolizing Jim Henson just like Ben obviously did as well❤️ bravo Ben Rector
As a guy in his early 40s who listens to powermetal most of the time I am embaressed to say I just discovered Ben a few weeks ago and his music really helps pick me up on days Im feeling down, lol.
JOY! Amazing music film! Thank you Ben Rector. You are extremely talented. God's favor is upon you. May God continue to bless you and your family. 💕💝💖😍
I love your music! Are you a believer? Sounds like it. There is something so playful and yet meaningful/deep about your music. I have been uplifted! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us. I'm sharing this with my friends & family.
Hi Ben. I was in the BYU Men's chorus when you came to campus a couple years ago. I am so grateful for how consistently great(and clean) your music is. Also this short film is amazing and it looks like you enjoyed it! Keep up the great work
This song, "Dream on" has a line, "When I close my eyes now, I just fall asleep." So applicable. :) All the songs are real life. I saw him in concert in Utah. Best Concert, ever!
This album and film make me feel so childlike and joyful and ready to take on the flippin' world, lol. In love with this, thank you for bringing us this masterpiece Ben!! Truly truly inspired by you!
Phenomenal job. This album is a Godsend! Ps. You should do a cover of Go the Distance from Disney’s Hercules. (Especially since they’re making a live action version soon!)
I got to see this concert in Dallas this summer. What an experience! This album, this music 😭 it's been a blessing to say the least. Thank you Ben. There is so many more things I want to say beyond thank you, but I just can't put it into words. It's just something special and I'm so glad this album exists in the world for ya to listen to ❤️
Congrats!! Amazing work. It’s so genuine!! I don’t understand why nobody talks about you here in Portugal. Big hug. Keep on going 👏👏 Fly high. Your work should be known all over the world. It’s really inspire.
From the walking in between to this. You have saved my life from some of the darkest moments of my life. I’m indebted to you Ben, as a future voice teacher and choir teacher. I will play this music for my students one day, so that your words can be heard, loved, and passed on to the next generation who needs a musician like you. Thank you again Ben, I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for you.
I got to see this for the first time LIVE in TN back in Dec! WOW WOW WOW!!! THANK YOU 🙏 !!! The JOY is felt on a deep deep level!!! YOU ROCK! Sending you and your family tons of LOVE ❤️
My favorite part was ALL OF IT. Also I need a "making of" for all the time-slowing on Heroes. That must've taken a Ton of practice to "sing in slow motion" and come back on the beat.
After seeing this in its entirety a couple weeks ago at House of Blues Chicago, I'm so happy to be able to see it again! Thank you for bringing this to Chicago!
So my Boss loves Ben Rector…. He introduced Ben Rector’s music during Covid19 when we were always Zooming. Honestly, I REALLY needed this, his music tapped right into my Soul. 🥰
Dude! Ben! This short film and album have brought me so much laughter and tears of joy. Thank you for finding the joy of music again!! Love your concept and authenticity. Really shines through. Can’t wait to see you live this summer!!
This is so beautiful and fun! Artistically and musically brilliant! Your heartfelt lyrics bring tears to my eyes bc you captured my own deep longings about this life 🥹😭 So thank you! Thank you for being real and writing about the true source of joy!!🙏🏽😭🥹🙌🏽❤️🥰
My heart feels so much love & gratitude for your music. You are a gift to the world & all involved in bringing your music to the world as well. I’m so grateful. Thank you for sharing your gifts & love 🌈
Your music has been with me since I started college in Auburn in 2008, and the melodies of your albums have been a soundtrack to many of our lives during the highs and lows. The love put into each word, chord, and message comes through so clearly. The swelling two notes of brass in "Heroes" makes those feelings swell each time. You just have a way with music, and the JOY it brings you is spread so easily to all of us. THANK YOU. I cannot wait to see you in concert again.
This album is perfect because your music has always brought joy! I can’t wait to see you preform in Columbus in may !!! Thank you for making music that makes everyone happy !!!
Love this album soooo much. Ben you are my favorite artist and have been for a while! Keep up the amazing work! (and write more peppy dance songs like Range Rover and Fear pls) Blessings! :D
Love this so much!! This album is truly so JOYFUL! As a new mom, many of these songs hit a little deeper, and I love sharing them with my boy! Excited to see you in OKC this summer!
you honestly make my life so much better by the message your music brings. your lyrics have brought me so much peace in situations and never cease to amaze me. thank you ben! i’m so excited to see you live!

Why is he so underrated, his masterpiece should be known all over the world 😭💖
"Heroes" is probably one of my favorite music videos of all time and I dont even know why...

BEN THIS IS WHAT THE MUSIC EXPERIENCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE LIKE!!!!!
Thank you, I have seen it but my dog hasn’t. This is so important.
Literally the best 25:37 ever spent- listening to this for the first time! WOW!

JOY! Amazing music film! Thank you Ben Rector. You are extremely talented. God's favor is upon you. May God continue to bless you and your family. 💕💝💖😍
"Heroes" helped me survive the last year of my life!

He was enrolled in Christian high school and university. He doesn’t say a lot about his religion these days
How does this only have 62,000 views. This is amazing. So underrated!!!

Even after seeing him in concert 4 times, it never gets old. So much fun, heart, and expression in each song!

I am 14 and i grew up listening to your music because my dad has loved you from the beginning 😊. So glad to see you living your best life ❤.
So my Boss loves Ben Rector…. He introduced Ben Rector’s music during Covid19 when we were always Zooming. Honestly, I REALLY needed this, his music tapped right into my Soul. 🥰
All his music is about nostalgia. Oh, how we wish we never grew up. Listening all the way from the beautiful country of Kenya
Supernatural is vaguely reminiscent of Caption EO era Michael Jackson. Very nostalgic and wonderful.
Dude! Ben! This short film and album have brought me so much laughter and tears of joy. Thank you for finding the joy of music again!! Love your concept and authenticity. Really shines through. Can’t wait to see you live this summer!!
