![Ben Platt - Grow As We Go [Official Video]](/img/n.gif)
The lyric when he goes: "And I've got some good friends now. But I've never seen their parent's back porch". It really hits home. Great songwriters know life. Thanks Ben..
1mespud and “cus you can’t make old friends” ❤️
i dont get it , can U explain ?
@@XD-xb8riWhat he means is: He's got some good friends now - but he never grew up with any of them which makes them new and current friends - but not old friends from his past or childhood.
Reply
@@XD-xb8ri everyone has a friend or group of friends from their childhoods where you've been to their parents house, you've seen where they grew up, their family knows you. Hits hard for me too.
@@1mespud thank U . now i get it
My old friends still owe me money. I remember them everyday
Vizalh 😂😂
lol!
Lol
That put a smile on my face
brooo XD ahahahaha
Had a reunion this past weekend - 40 years since our high school reunion, but we've been friends for 50+ years though. There were nine of us. Now eight. We lost one of us to cancer last August. We played this at the funeral. Thank you for sharing this song of friendship, Ben Rector.
Sorry to hear that. Was it rectal cancer?
What kind of fucked up question is that??
Jason Pham that’s fucked up dawg, get out of here with that shit. I’m so sorry for your loss Kim, i hope you are keeping your head up! best of wishes to you
@@jasonpham4554 why would you ask that?
Jason Pham don’t be silly obviously it was terminal
This hit's me like the quote I've read in the recent year, “At some point in your childhood, you and your friends went outside to play together for the last time and nobody knew it”. These both hit hard.
@@kellymoorewith4 Really makes you think doesn’t it?
Heavy Hit 100%. My remedy is to call an old friend just to have a catch with a baseball or football once in a while. And on the rare occasion a light game of basketball breaks out.
If only you knew back then
There's a Last Time for Everything...

Old friends: Immeasurable

The sad truth is I dont know who to think of while listening to this song
I'm think of all the friends that's no longer in my sphere
me neither
Right in that old ticker of mine 💔
I moved away three times... I don't have old friends
Make one now, and someday that person will be your old friend.
I'm only 22, but I've been thinking about this idea since my junior year of high school. I grew up in a small town, so I had the same friends pretty much my entire life. Moving away from each other for college or jobs or the military or whatever has been hard on me. I wasn't prepared to make new friends. And even though I've made some, they still don't come close to the kind of friendship I have with my old friends. Every time we all get back together I'm reminded of that.
So here I am, scrolling through my CZcams homepage, trying to wind down before bed, and I see this interesting looking music video. I don't think I've ever heard of Ben before, but I give it a whirl anyway. And then he sings everything I've been feeling in such a beautiful way and WITH HIS OLD FRIENDS and suddenly I'm crying for the first time in months. Thank you, Ben. I think I will forever cherish this song, now. And thank you CZcams, for mining my data and realizing that I am the exact kind of person to appreciate this song.
I'm 36 and my best friends today are my best friends from 2nd and 6th grade. Some of moved to various parts of the country but we still keep up and visit occasionally but communicate regularly. I found this song in much the same way that you did and it hit so hard. I'm lucky to have made many more amazing friends in the past 15 years who I would do anything for but when I heard this, it took me back. The nostalgia and appreciation for what I have with my "old friends" was powerful.
Same here, buddy. I think this just brought a lot of people together with the same feelings. The human experience is so fascinating and heartbreaking and beautiful.
I’m 22 and I feel the same way way, this life can be real hard 😪
19 and pretty much feel the same. Moved to new college and so did my buddies. Hope we get whatever we're looking for.
im 22 too, im the last of my friends to have stayed in the same town all these years, i love my buddies more than theyll ever know
Gorgeous video. I like that it was filmed at blue hour.
Glad to know you’re a fellow Ben Rector fan!
Well what do you know, hey Destin 👋. Not even surprised to see you here, figured you'd like a song like this. Cheers to good music 🍻
good observation
The parents' back porch line is an ingenious observation of intimacy, and also the point when the floodgates broke in my tearducts.
That one hit home for me too. I have chill bumps as I type
I cried too
me too.. reminds me my closest childhood friend.
The vibes I’m getting from this music video is relatable nostalgia and a happy-sad hybrid. ;P
Pixelchu is called bittersweet ;)
Esteban Gutierrez Ouch.
Real nostalgia is always bittersweet
It's them lyrics and that chord at 1:04 in the progression that makes it sad
Friends are great
I'm a senior in high school right now and listening to this song makes me sad. I already know when I'm older, I'm going to be reminiscing and missing the very moments that I am living right now with my friends. I won't take my time with them and my youth for granted any more.
Paradox Apple ayy I'm a senior too. #Classof2020
I’m feeling it and I’m a sophomore
@@daytonhunt2406 enjoy every moment bro that shit flies by soooo quick
Paradox Apple I go to a private school where every one has a plan for after high school but I can’t see myself with any of them in the future. Cuz I have plans to move away and live a life of joy by doing what I waNt to do for my career. But I makes me so sad bc I have this painful feeling that my four best friends will move on with life and leave me wishing I hadn’t moved away
@@daytonhunt2406 I get you bro. You've got two more years to make memories with them so get out there every chance you get. Do what's best for your future though man. Just make sure you stay in touch after you move away.
shout-out to my fellow loners who were either too shy to make any real friends in high school, moved around too much to get to know anybody, or just lost their old friends for a number of reasons.
We may not have old friends but we're sure as hell never truly alone 💖
Hope you're doing well despite it all :)
Thank you.
Moving a lot when u are young sucks cuz of the friends u leave behind
Ben's bouncy piano playing is the best
hahaha I love itt
This is my favorite comment, I was 100% thinking the same thing
Reminds me of Chris Martin
Reminds me of Peanuts
Reminds me of nuts
I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them- Andy Bernard
Edit: I'm gonna take the opportunity and ask a favor to anyone reading this, I NEED TO MEET RANVEER SINGH(Bollywood actor), im not a fan but see... theres this "GIRL" who is a big fan and im trying to make that happen. Hope it happens someday. yes im also aware this request seems lame...
*Edit 11Oct22: update for any1 that cares, "Girl" getting married next month still not met ranveer yet 😕
that hurt my h e a r r
Yeah but also, fuck Andy
There is. It’s literally right now
The present is the good old days!
You just are. Now.
Went to the same high school as Ben but graduated a few years later. Everyone at the school was his biggest fan. He is such a nice guy and a beautiful voice.
RagebrosINC That is sooo sweet 😭❤️
gmkoonnvvx
He went to Metro right?
For those of us who moved around a lot and didn't have the stability to make lasting friendships as children, two things: you are not alone, and - it isn't too late to make new friends who can become old friends. I have friends now who know me far better than my childhood friends. I didn't meet them until we were adults, but we've been friends now for almost two-thirds of our lives.
This might just be one of my favorite music videos of all time.
you piece of crap. get off this man's comment
I know, WTF is that all about?
Frankie zBillington why don’t you just tell us here?
100% with you!!
Inspired by Wes Anderson
When I randomly click videos In hope of finding something good! And it pays off :-)
same (:
JJ's Life I do the same thing and find some amazing music often...no exception here!
Yep, totally. I was watching Weezer and next thing I knew I found this guy and now I'm a fan. Life's great, huh?
Found most of my favorite bands that way!
Same
I know somebody already say it but the "and I've got some good friends now but I've never seen their parent's back porch" is truly, truly amazing.
Running from the past it is all barbed wire green roses
Ik I've had 5 friends back in my old town whos parents back porches I've seen now in my new town ive seen none of my friends back porches
same energy as 'castle on the hill' by Ed Sheeran. though this is better
This was an unexpected gem. As a 34 year old father of two boys aged 3 yo and 6 weeks, this song made me yearn for my childhood again, but be so excited for theirs. Brilliant tune.
Yes! And now I love thinking about all of the yard games my kids play with neighbors and the relationships they'll be reminiscing about when they are my age.
I love the little comments on the lyrics, they really added to the video
Hey
This video was so touching.. takes me back to my high school band practicing in Stefan’s garage and the adventures we used to go on.
Stefan passed away from cancer a couple of months ago so this made me teary and touched me deeply. I’ll share this with the rest of my band mates.
Thank you Ben!
sorry for your loss
Oh the adventures you can recall. The beauty of friendship are the memories that are forever burned into your memory.
I'm sorry for your loss.
It's awesome how music an bring you back and help you recall.
R.i.p 🌹🌹
katmcdowell My deepest condolonces
Sorry for your loss...
This song leveled me. Sobbing while driving to a buddy’s place. I’m in my 40’s, and seem to get softer every year (physically and emotionally). Initially it made me think of my high school buddies. But my youngest just moved out and went off to college. I immediately thought of him, and his set of buddies. His senior year got screwed by COVID. Its all so fleeting. But those memories stick with you forever.
Tell your friends you love them! Keep in touch. Raise good kids and love their friends, too.
Wait til you hit your 50's brother Wtf
this is true! feeling all the similar-feels, bro.
FULL LYRICS:
I can still find Wiley's house
Riding on my bike with eyes closed
I could name every girl that he took out
And from my memory, dial his house phone
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there's nothing like old friends
'Cause you can't make old friends (mm, yeah)
I can still feel the windows down
Listening to Jimmy Eat World
Riding 3-wide on Blake's bench seat (yeah)
My God, it's been ten years now
I would have his back tomorrow
And he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah, yeah)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there's nothing like old friends
'Cause you can't make old friends
And I've got some good friends now
But I've never seen their parents' back porch
I wouldn't change how things turned out
But there's no one in this time zone
Who knows what inline skates that I wore
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older?
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But the truth is
That we grow up, then wish we could go back then
There's nothing like old friends
'Cause you can't make old friends
@@oliviapedersen8008 to read them with the music video. Sometimes you miss a word or two and it helps to follow it
"surround yourself with people who strengthen your character, and remove yourself from people who compromise your character."
"I still find ____ house, riding on my bike with my eyes closed... from my memory dialed his house phone". That hit my heart hard. My best friend, 20+ years growing up. Brothers in all sense of the word, and unfortunately we do not talk anymore. I miss him everyday, but can close my eyes and see every inch of his house and yard.
I also cannot express how much I love that you got your highschool band together for a song and made a video with them for said song! All too often we see singers leave behind those that helped them make it in the first place!
I know exactly what you mean. I can still picture everything.
It hit me hard
"Who Weren't scared of getting older"
its "we weren't scared of getting older"
@@MadeByIsmael haha bro I just realised.
This is the first song that played in when I got into my car the morning I found out my oldest friend had just died in a car accident. We both grew up playing music together from age 11 and shared the stage for the last time only a couple of months prior to him passing at 30 years old. I appreciate this song more than you’ll probably ever know because everytime I hear it, my mind flashes back with the thousands of hours we spent together making music and creating memories that I’ll cherish forever. Just want to say thank you for that, because life becomes so much different when they’re gone.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute. May they fly high and free.
I'm gonna be listening to this song 40 years from now, reminiscing.
Love it!
Blue Wolfard Definitely.
aaaaand Ben Rector wins the most simplicity-rules making creative genius music video award.... again
Allison Eide I agree.
Hey Ben and the EuroMart,
I just want you guys to know that I found myself straying from my old friends and on top of many factors this song came into my life when I was down and it encouraged me to reach out to Matt and Nathan. Our relationship/brotherhood is rekindling and I want to let you guys know that it touched me so deeply that I reached out and it’s flourishing. Thanks for the push back in the right direction.
I wouldn’t have had the courage without this last push.
Much love and respect. Thanks y’all.
I'm crying right now but in a good way because of this!
Why does this song make me miss and long for friends that I never had...
because if you feel Some type of way like reminscent
then that means you had friends who were better than anyone you've met, you just didn't realize it till now.
soon you'll find more friends who'll be your old friends, who you can meet up anytime and not be afraid
@@colorfulmimic9464 hope I find those friends quick hahaha I need them now because of college. Time really flies so fast it's frightening, but at the same time you feel something unknown. Maybe a mixture of some, if not all, emotions and feelings.
Because thats litterally the name of the song
I can still find Wiley's house
Riding on my bike with eyes closed
I can name every girl that he took out
And from my memory, dial his house phone
[Chorus]
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah yeah)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there's nothing like old friends (oooh)
'Cause you can't make old friends (oooh) (mmm yeah)
[Verse 2]
I can still feel the windows down
Listening to Jimmy Eat World riding 3-wide on Blake's bench seat (yeah)
My God, it's been ten years now
I would have his back tomorrow
And he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me
[Chorus]
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older? (yeah yeah) (oooh)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But truth is there's nothing like old friends (oooh)
'Cause you can't make old friends (oooh)
[Bridge]
And I've got some good friends now
But I've never seen their parents' back porch
I wouldn't change how things turned out
But there's no one in this time zone
Who knows what inline skates that I wore
[Chorus 2]
Can you take me back when we were just kids
Who weren't scared of getting older? (oooh)
'Cause no one knows you like they know you
And no one probably ever will
You can grow up, make new ones
But the truth is
That we grow up, then wish we could go back then
There's nothing like old friends (oooh)
'Cause you can't make old friends (oooh)
i had to read here and listen to the song once again and it sounded magical
Thank you❤
Thank you..
Jennifer Montenegro thank youuu
I remember the last hangout night with my best bud before he took off for the Marines. We camped up on our favorite spot as a last hurrah to the good ole days. We were 17. This was in the summer of 2001 (pre 9/11) Little did we know what was to take place. Sometime after boot camp, he got sent off to Iraq and almost lost his life in the war. He was a changed person after all of that- he had grown into a man and the pastimes of our childhood were over. He’s still my closest friend but life isn’t as sweet as it was when we were kids. We’ve had to help each other through life’s greatest hardships, painful break ups we both went through, him loosing a lot of his friends in the war, me loosing my Dad… I am so grateful to God for him. So this song hits deep for me- if you’re young and reading this, cherish your friendships, call your friends and tell them how much they mean to you, take them out to lunch and pay for it, because one day you’ll wake up and it’ll be a distant memory in the past.
Dude this song had me in tears, I look back on my childhood and feel like my youth was wasted
Nah way, your story is your story. Live your life and be grateful!
Idk how old you are, but I'm 27 & feel the same way. Don't get so lost with your time online that you forget to live in real life. Never be someone you're not. Don't compromise your values or interests to please other people and just live in the moment. Dont be so worried with recording everything & just live in it. You can recover your youth for sure. There's always new ways to make new friends and make up for any time you feel has been lost.
finally i actually
found out someone who got feeling like me
I was crying to. I have no friends now not old not new. My only friends are my kids husband and 2 kitty cats
@@bmad8691 😢
I can’t even make new friends
We all are here. :)
Felt this 🙆♂️❤️
You can :) Chin up!
Lol yep
*Bud dump tsh
This song made me realize that I have had my "Old Friends" by my side this entire time and I am SO thankful for that. Find your people and never let them go.
You are so lucky...
I’m a freshman in high school and trust me I’ll make the most of it
I hope all is well!❤
I wish I still had those friendships from high school. Nothing touches that.
OMG! I'm not too old but this song bring tears to my eyes! Soooo good!
Nothing like old friends
ME TOO
Me too!
there is no age for tears, my friend! Put it out!!!
I can still find Wiley's house

This video just warms my heart to no end. We can’t make old friends and they do know us differently. Played this dozens of times and grateful to have found it. Now I gotta see Ben live!
I found my old friend from high school 33 years later at our daughters' middle school! We will never let each other go again. Love you Carole.
I didn't want this music video to end. Such a great song and wholesome video. I need a thousand times more Ben Rector in my life.
Hey
Ben's got that straight-to-the-heart emotion of the best Spielberg and Pixar films, plus the infectious catchiness of the best pop hooks, but it all seems so effortless and natural, like a woman who's beautiful even without makeup. Proud to share a home state with such a talent. :)
whenever i feel scared of moving away from high school and losing the friendships ive built i come to this song
Eli C I feel you...
*All the dislikes are from his new friends*
hell yeah! i don't know what kind of person just goes to a video to leave a dislike, they don't know how to live life to the fullest and realize were all in this together. We lift one another up.
Hope your all having a wonderful day like i am.
😂😂😂
Love this comment 👏🏼❤️
lol
Noice~~~😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That line, "you can't make old friends" got me
If only I wasn't at the office right now, I probably already cry my eyes out. Thanks Ben for making me miss all my old good friends, the ones who were there in the beginning.
I’m a senior in high school and I’ve grown up in a small California town my entire life. The friends I have now are the people I grew up with, for better or for worse. Now that I’m a senior, I’m realizing my time with them is about to expire. I’m moving away with my family to Tennessee since california is getting too hard to live in, but I may never see them again, which is hitting me pretty hard. And don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for a new chapter of my life in a place I love so much, but the love is not the same kind of love that I feel for my little hometown. As he said, the new friends I’ll make will not be the same as the ones I’ve known my entire life.
I’ve made a promise to try and come back as often as I can to see them, but who knows what life will busy next up with..?
Song literally brings me to tears.
Growing up my friends were my family because my "family" was a shit show. I'm lucky enough to still be friends with a lot of my core group 20+ years later. I wouldn't change any of it for the world 🙂
Thank you for writing such an amazing song that speaks to my soul.
*THIS SONG SHOULD BE A HIT ON THE RADIO!!!!!*
This is fantastic. The video enhances the song so much in its simplicity. Bravo, Ben!
Teju Abiola and
I listened to this song in highschool with my big friend group that saw each other everyday after school. Now we’ve been out of highschool for a couple years and I miss how often we were able to see one another. We all still talk but I can’t remember the last time we were all together. Thank you for this song.
You ever just get a sick gut feeling that you will never be young again and all you have left is memories that you wish you could relive? I’m 19 and already have these feelings lmao
Listening to it right now while in high school, knowing that this inevitably will happen with the people I know right now.
I wish I could relate to this song. I really do.
Had a garage band back in high school in 1967 . Me, Rick, mick and Dennis reminds me of such a great time in life. 70 years old now still see some old friends girls to talk about listen to us playing in the garage.What a cheap ticket back to the future. All the memories start flying by things that you’ve done people that you’ve made friends with and still are friends with. Thanks for sharing your song is Ben!!!!
It's sad that we grew up with our childhood friends and now having friends that we didint know in our childhood. I miss you David.🙁
this song feels like an old friend. man. Ben, your music is always so good.
Ben’s bouncing gives me life! 😂❤️ I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!
Where did all those years go? 🙁
Missing all my childhood friends, we're all so close back then,this song is so true " you can grow up , make new friends but nothing like old friends" 😭😭😭
Some of the most "heart hitting" lyrics i've ever experienced. Thanks you, Ben.
I’m home for the summer after my 2nd year of college and this video has got me missing my old friends from high school that live minutes away. So sooo cute. Incredible music video for an incredible song!!
Is anybody else scared because they aren't that close to their best friends and realizing they may never actually have old friends this valuable?
We need to never forget how amazing this song and video are. Classic. Ben has so much talent, more than any other artist out there right now.
Ben is a fantastic example of great lyrical phrasing. And his songs are almost always easy for everyone to relate to. Not like most music that speaks to a small minority. He's just damn good......
Great call to action at the end! I remember being at summer camp in Lampe, Missouri at K-West (or maybe K-2?), and Ben was a camp counselor that summer for some of the younger guys, but he was also the main worship leader that summer! It's so rad to see where he has come and gone since then. Bless you Ben!
All I got is one old friend, and that’s enough for me
don't know why I'm crying listening to this song... old friends are irreplaceable forever
I come back to this one over and over. Love everything about it.
I love this song so much. I’ve been a fan since I was 13 entering high school and now I’m almost 20. I just find Ben to be such a down to earth and amazing person. His music is truly one of a kind.
Breana Malloy I’ve been a fan of Ben’s for the same amount of time!! I turn 20 this month. He’s incredible 😭❤️
Maria Pena omg that’s so crazy!!
I just turned 20 and im remembering all the wonderful times with friends :)
Are we the same person, lol?
turned 20 two days ago
This makes me long for that small-town neighborhood experience I never had. Not sure if anything else ever has.
Hasn't gotten any better yet either lol
that little fist bump between Blake and Wylie at 2:46 is just one of the many things in this video that hit so close to home
As a Wylie who values my oldest friends, this song is amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This is probably one of the simplest yet coolest concepts for a video I’ve ever seen :) I loved the little tidbits of info that were shared too, as well as just the song itself. Thanks for making another great one.
When a song makes you cry within 15 seconds, you know its great..
Wish I still talked to my old friends.
Damn, I made it to the end and then started weeping like a baby. How they were playing together and smiling so hard. We used to smile like that, I miss my old friends.
This song is so EPIC!!!!!! Nostalgia, reflection, life x10000000000000000000000000000000. The older I get the more it works. Cannot thank Ben enough for writing it.
Wow!!! I´m crying. Love the song, the video, the friendship.
The old friends are a blessing.
My best friend died when we were 16. It´s been 20 years now. But he´s still here wearing he´s band shirt and the dirty snickers. And singing in our favourites chorus. Thanks!
Love from Argentina.
Wow!! Good music! Walker Burroughs led me here 😍 im so happy to find another songwriter to admire! Praise God for His many good gifts!
Can y'all come organize my garage, please and thank you? The struggle is for real. That's what old friends are for right?
Standing here in my kitchen, making breakfast for my five kids, listening to this for the first time...there’s something in my eye 😢
Man you never forget old friends, the good old days is a blessing to us all and this world isn't big enough to ruin opportunities that will come to us, ive been really thinking about song writing and now i just might do it. *"Follow your dreams people, words can save a persons life, and rewrite history."*
i don't know what kind of person just goes to a video to leave a dislike, they don't know how to live life to the fullest and realize were all in this together. We lift one another up.
Hope your all having a wonderful day like i am.
So underrated. One of the most meaningful songs. Beautiful!!
Goosebumps. Really. When you and ur old friends get together nothing gets hyped up more. Familiarity is to die for still
My wife and I just got back today from my home town. We got to see some old friends I haven't seen in 25 years and she's never met. Man how a town can change in 25 years.
Idk why but this has a Contemporary Christian vibe better than Contemporary Christian music does
Derek Strohm it’s the vocals
It kinda reminds me of Tenth Avenue North or Relient K. I wouldn't be surprised if he was influenced by them.
this thought crossed my mind as well hit me harder than some worship songs haha
I'm only 18, but to be honest, I've been feeling this way for a while now. Can't imagine how much more I'll feel it as I grow older
This is so pure.
I'm so jealous of this song. You really have to be a certain type of person, and have had certain experiences to write and sing/perform a number like this. Especially with a band where the lyrics resonate as well. I have old friends, but they're long gone now. I don't know them anymore. I definitely couldn't reach out to them to bring the band back together and put together something like this, as much as I'd love to.
just found this song, A childhood friend of mine just Od'd earlier this year and when the line "I would have his back tomorrow And he'd still fight anyone who tried to touch me" hit i just started bawling. we used to have each others backs all the time and that line hit me in the gut.
I first listened to this song on Oct.18.2020 and thought about my childhood friends. I cried because I was so grateful to still have them in my life. On that day I considered send sharing this with them and letting them know I missed them. On Oct. 24. 2020 I woke up to the news that one of them had passed away. I'm hurt and honestly stuck because it was sudden to me. She was my oldest childhood friend and was the type of person that everyone wanted/needed in their lives. Today (a day after) I listen to this song with frustration that I never sent it to her, but deep in my heart, I know she knew I loved her and all the memories we created.
Me and my 3 best friends used to have sleepovers and play Minecraft and Roblox and Garry's Mod till all hours of the morning. But one of those friends you could go to for any kind of technological help and he'd help you no matter what. He's my BEST best friend. What a friend
Literally one of the best nostalgic videos ever made. Ugh, the feels ❤️
Now missing my old friends. It gets better and better hitting the replay.
You will never top that song. Its amazing
To all the seniors/ high schoolers...make the effort, make the time, hug your friends, there's no better time then right now. I know your excited about moving on in life, but take a minute to look around.
My favorite music video probably ever done. I love the additional comments throughout the video -- so fun! THANK YOU for sharing such a personal part of you, Ben. We're all the better for it. 💕
