[@BenLevin]

That's a very nice way of putting it, thank you!

[@dumpsterDeity]

I loved the album version, but I think this arrangement brought this song on a completely different level.
I really loved the texture of saxophone/trumpet against strings. That part was amazing. Everyone was amazing :)
And the setting sun, and warm colors...Beautiful performance!

De verdad no sabía que esta canción podría llegar a gustarme más... Sorry for writing in Spanish, I don't know how would you say that in English, so lol, sorry...

Your voice sounds so great!!!!

[@BenLevin]

Thank you for your guidance Josh!

[@zeldaworld7]

It’s like Pink Floyd, gorillaz and glen hansard mixed with all the good stuff.

[@TrickyJIuc]

You are a great artist, Ben... All that you do is so freaking (or freakish sometimes (: ) honest. And it's always both amazing and disturbing to see you on the "scene". I just hope that everything that you give will come back to you somehow) Cheers, be well)

[@BenLevin]

That's so kind of you, thank you for the inspiring words!

[@SkeetRadar]

his voice sounds a lot like Damon Albarns 2D singing voice. if Damon ever gets to a point where he cant sing anymore, there's always Ben Levin

[@andrewnicorn]
