Lyrics:
I’m looking at your post
About how the world is broken
And needs my attention right now
You are some profile
Another empty shell
Telling me where to yell
I want to be a good person
And silence is the killer
I’ve made so much noise
But It just makes it hard to hear the people who still feel
The people who know what their talking about
Touch the phone and watch
A butcher dissect a dog
Some guy in new york plays a custom guitar
Children coughing dust in their mothers arms
A pixelated frame from an episode of Spongebob
Sleek infographics trying to turn my brain off
Pictures of my friend's dad, sorry for your loss
So grateful for my fans
Police just shot another innocent man
Tour dates for a band
How to express my dog's glands
A home turned to dust
A field of bodies shot
Seen so much I believe I could never do enough
I want to be a good person
And silence is the killer
I’ve made so much noise
But It just makes it hard to hear
The people who still feel
The people who know what they're talking about
At the park I saw a man smacking his dog around
Now I’d seen too much
Shouted abuse till he turned around
And so far as I can tell, all he saw in my eyes Was another empty shell
Seen so much I believe I could never do enough - Krátké a kreslené filmy
It's always nice to see the Ben Levin + Justice Cow combo.

The cutest couple 😊
I have worked at Breedlove guitars for 7 years and have never ever seen our inlay on the first fret. That guitar is surely a rare instrument.
Ben & Jessica + acoustic guitars never fails to make me happy
Their Duets are truly magic.
I feel this way too. Tired. Incapable. Culpable.
Lovely song.
Beautiful, poignant, and deeply thoughtful. Just like always.
I can honestly say I don't usually get Ben's songs, but this one cuts deep. That was some sweet falsetto and the harmonies were beautiful. CZcams needs a love button. Like just doesn't seem like enough.
I love you Ben! Thank you for giving me this piece of music to listen to.
Sounds like an ideal song about a great situation! Thanks :)
(Also, nice song both!)
Hopefully this will become a less ideal song because it is no longer relatable!
Beautiful.
Edit: I'm addicted to this song
Lyrics really hit home. Ben, you made me cry the singular masculine tear, like how men cry in bad movies
its crazy
i get to enjoy this for free
I feel so light and free with Ben acoustic songs. Thank you for existing dude.
Thank you Ben and Jessica.
This is so beautiful and so very relatable. I deleted all my social media in 2020 for these very reasons. ❤ to you both.
I've been listening to fairly complex music lately. Now I'm listening to this for the sixth time and once again realizing that all you need is a guitar and great songwriting. Thank you!
I like this
Love you guys.
awoooooo! you guys sound too good together, that's just how i feel too
thank you of this video I would treasure an acoustic album with you and Justice Cow just a thought
Incredible song, really reasonates. Thank you!
I appreciate this Jessica and Ben.
Fantastic
I never did make much noise, but my noise is a disservice to the world anyway. We do what we can, and it aint much, but we are many people. Might be many aint muches become at least a something, and a something I can sure live with.
Thank you again Jes and Benny..
Holy shit, Ben… and friend. Brilliant. Happy New Year. And thank you.

This is beautiful! For me it hits the same emotions as That Funny Feeling by Bo Burnham (which I love so much), but very much your own style and personal experience and your artistry. Well written and beautifully performed!
This is such a serious tone compared to your Instagram animated songs. I've honestly been writing a similar kind of song and it's so surreal to have someone speak the words I've been trying to form.
Favorite song
Wow, I feel those feelings, thank you for making them musical 💕
I Loved this beautiful song! Thank you Maestro Ben and Justice Cow, Happy new year !

So pure, so raw, so beautiful! Great stuff Ben keep it up!
So cool! Love the aesthetic and vibe of the lyrics. Well done man!
I love this! so much
love it
Very beautiful songwriting, I love the harmonies and the part with the backing vocals! I totally empathize with the sentiment in this song too, sometimes it all seems SO messed up, where could you even possibly begin to contribute?
Shweeeet! So good.
I love this ❤❤!!!
Ben I love your stuff, you're a great song writer but most of all I love allthe feeling you put in to our music, Killer stuff dude!
Song of the year! Thanks, Ben!

Wonderful song. Truly.
I was thinking of doing an old timey thing and roughly translate it to my native language, just to play it among my friends.
Could you please share the chord progression with me?
Happy new year,
longtime fan from Italy
Eyyo, it sounds like it's /||G Bmin C D||\ throughout to me, lemme know what you think!
I enjoyed this! Hope you and your dog(s?) are well. Can we do an Improv Potluck again sometime?
Je hebt eigenlijk best wel weer even goed liedje geschreven Ben.
Very good song.

Liked this, very Bo Burnham

What if there's some kind of a screw-up, and the dogs go to people heaven and the people end up in doggie heaven? Or doggie hell. Maybe people would like it there, and then the dog devil wouldn't know what to do. The worms know what to do with empty shells, though, thats for sure.
People like devil dogs, I think, so it makes sense
:d
Good, but a lot of F#...
