Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist.
Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.
Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW AT THE END OF THIS HE PUTS ON THE OUTFIT THAT HE WEARS IN GROW AS WE GO ???
omg he does DX
Doesn't he always wear that cost though? Isn't that kind of his signature thing? I'm new here, so maybe I'm wrong.
Omg!!! Right!!! I think its like a story line thingy
Brilliant observation. Only seeing this now. I really love timelines in albums.
Oh, shit.
WE LITERALLY DONT DESERVE HIS TALENT. MY HEART. I CANT COPE.
Well I hope I goshdarn Do because I love him
AMY!!! I love your videos, and I'm so glad you like Ben's new music too!

When his boyfriend was comforting him through his panic attack, that was the final straw. I absolutely lost it. Ugly crying and everything. More often than not, they happen silently, and there were so many times I was desperate for someone to simply hold me and tell me it'll be alright again, even though everything in my body is currently screaming otherwise. I will never not be thankful to the people that actually DID have my back, and still do. Without them, I might not be here today.
im crying
What happened at the end?? Why did he leave??
This comment is a virtual hug for you.
i was about to comment nearly the same when i saw your comment
I agree, but for me, I'm usually alone. I have to struggle and claw myself out of the inky depths of my mind. I can't breathe, I'm suffocating on nothing but my own fears. "I can feel my sanity start to unwind". I have no one to ease my mind. It's terrifying, and I can't do anything about it but beg and pray for it to be over. I have no anchor, I'm just thrashing in the ocean, floating on a lifeboat alone.
Last time I was this early, Ben Platt was Evan
The last time I was this early Evan and Jared were still friends
Last time I was this early Ben Platt was Benji
You want me to cry again?!?!?
Last time I was this early “A Little Bit Of Light” was still in the show
Qwerty Content I CANT BREATH
I came out in 1995. I never had hope for music, videos or songs to show my life. Show my love. Gay love and music were exclusive to the clubs and we didn't have anything mainstream to look at or reach for. You just did that, Ben. You gave us an anthem, a song a bit of peace that even though it should be standard now, it isn't and it was a hell of a lot worse back in my day. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! You have no idea what this song has become for me.
I know; it;s so nice to see gay love... 'normalised' like this. How I wish music videos like this were playing on TV when I was growing up.
Sam Smith did that a couple of years ago tho ;)
They are both brilliant tbf.
Chad Miller I’m so glad you came out to the world. I’m proud of you
You should check out Calum Scott! Glad you resonated w/ this song.
I'm very thankful to be growing up in a society today that (for the most part) is very supportive of lgbt. I'm glad you are so strong because I couldn't have been.
In the words of the Great Lin Manuel Miranda:
Love is love is love is love is love is love is love
♥️
and he couldn't be more right
@@ameliaturner732 agreed.
Kerly Solon and to think those 2 partnered up!
Cannot be killed or swept aside! Yes!!🏳️🌈
@@blind_t2 Yeah! They partnered up for a song called "Found/Tonight" which is a mix of "You Will Be Found" from Dear Evan Hansen and "The Story Of Tonight" from Hamilton in support of the March For Our Lives movement.
"wow look at those two dudes being dudes, what a beautiful friendship"
I wonder if anyone disliked it because they thought you were serious.
and they were roommates
"oh my god they were roommates"
0 feet apart cause they’re not gay
Yup, such great cousins (Sailor Moon viewers will understand)
Lol! think again
Ears?Blessed
Eyes?watering

I live for these comments
*when you literally have a facial paralysis that prevents half your face from moving at all and leaves your tear ducts paralyzed on that side and yet i’m crying from both eyes i think ben just cured me. literally*
😯😯😯!!!!
do you really? I had that ten years ago for a few months I couldn't move the left side of my face. Are you better now? do you know how it happened? I don't know the cause of mine
@@CupcakeCloud Sounds like you had Bell's Palsy.
:0 Oh my God! You good now?
Cupcake Cloud it’s bell’s palsy, i’ve had it twice before turning 16 (i am now) but it left some left over side effects
Fans **watching DEH**: could be gayer
Ben: hold my beer
Fans: HOLY SHIT--
RaeMakenzie 19 Fans: WAIT WHAT!?-
Cevan fans: IT COULD'VE WORKED-
RaeMakenzie 19 omfg I know
That is so true
XD yes
when they showed Ben's relationship with that guy I started bawling my eyes out
it means so much to me that Ben shows that it's ok and it's possible to be successful as a gay man.
as a gay teen I still struggle with denial and hatred, and it helps me so much to have people in the world who are proud to be the way they are.
Ben platt is honestly my biggest inspiration,, in musical theatre, and now in regular life ❤️
ironic that my name is Ben too lmao
joojsko I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling with some denial & hatred... sending you a virtual hug ❤️
If you like this guy and want to see another like him there's a guy called Thomas Sanders. He's more Goofy and not for everyone but if you fall in love with his work then your gonna find yourself in a loving community. It's just so wholesome. But honestly, I feel like a preacher/salesmen. Sorry. I just really want more people to feel validity and loved.
Kyran AFK yes yes yes yes listen to this reply. Thomas sanders is the best when it comes to knowing yourself and how to deal with things like this. Thomas is one of the best watch when you feel a certain way no matter who you are.
joojsko wait.... Are you good at riffs. Cause you're in musical theatre and your name is Ben. We all know Ben Platt is amazing. And our other God Ben Fankhauser with "the poor GUYS head is spinning." soooooo
Coming to terms with who you are is one of the hardest part of growing into the person you're meant to be. You are loved, and never forget you aren't alone.
MY SON. PRIDE IS NOT THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR-
Okay but for real, I got chills. This is beautiful in every way. It feels so real and relatable and I'm awestruck
I'm so glad I actually understand this reference effective today
THERE SO MUCH MORE INSIDE ME NOW
Oh wow I didn’t know Ben platt was gay. Fantastic song and music video. I’m glad he’s not pretending he’s in a relationship with a girl. Some of the best artist show every part of themselves and that makes the song all the more meaningful. Great song I hope you keep writing!

I mean, who didn't know? He even talked about a boyfriend in 2016 on that video interview.

[Lyric]
Most days I wake up with a pit in my chest
There are thoughts that I can't put to rest
There's a worry that I can't place
Most nights, I am restless and quiet won't come
So I lay there and wait for the sun
There's a trouble that won't show its face
You came out of nowhere and you cut through all the noise
I make sense to the madness when I listen to your voice
Darling, only you can ease my mind
Help me leave these lonely thoughts behind
When they pull me under, and I can feel my sanity start to unwind
Darling, only you can ease my mind
I'll admit, for a moment I felt so afraid
Just to show you the mess that I made
There are pieces I usually hide
But when you collect me with your steady hand
With a language that I understand
I feel put back together inside
You came out of nowhere and you cut through all the noise
I make sense of the madness when I listen to your voice
Oh Darling, only you can ease my mind
Oh help me leave these lonely thoughts behind
When they pull me under, and I can feel my sanity start to unwind
Darling, only you can ease my mind
Darling, only you can ease my mind
Help me leave these lonely thoughts behind
When they pull me under, and I can feel my sanity start to unwind
Darling, only you can ease my mind
👍
Thanks for this! ❤️
Thank you ❤
Thank you
Thank you
Now I am picturing this music video with River and Payton and my heart can’t take it 😭😭😭💔💔💔
Same. That show made me cry harder than I have in a while.
oh my god, me too
can someone make a video of them with this as the background music AHH I want to cry
Well shi ima cry
WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DO THAT IM CRYING ALREADY THE FUCK MAN
I’m so happy to see Ben going from broadway to being his own artist making his own songs❤️❤️✨
Word but I still hope he returns to Broadway at some point in the future. I know there are talks that he will be in the DEH movie. :))
@@PixieLowe1 really?? :D
Yes really, lol but if it happens or not I dunno.. The article about who would play Evan was posted ages ago. Have a great day, I need to get some zzzz in!! :))
That is good to know
@@PixieLowe1 get some rest and I hope it happens and if not someone else great!
Ok, anyone else feels like intruding in some very private moments, and blessed to be allowed to see them at the same time?
I agree. It’s feels so personal and I think that it was a huge decision for Ben Platt to be so candid in these videos, but I’m glad he did it. They just fill me with so much fuzzy feelings and I think that both songs (both the music and the videos) are simply beautiful. I can’t wait to see more!!!
Chrissie K YE
Enjoy there intimacy, 2024 and my partner still won't hold my hand in public.
historians: and they were roommates
oh my god they were roommates
huh?
@@amporu it's an old vine. Search for it

"no not because we're gay"

I almost choked xD

"the only man that i love is my dad"
but he--- he left you
@@leacastro4186 Proof that he was lying. Evan x Connor cannon accepted!
underrated opinion: i love ben's expressions when he sings. they add a lot more to the performance.
(sorry for my grammar, I was crying when I wrote this)
wait- an opinion can be underrated??
Yeah like how he moves his mouth when when he goes "woOoOoOaHo" idk if that makes sense for example 2:50
You can tell he's an actor; he knows how to sell emotion through his facial expressions.
@@sejcai yes it can. why? because im an idiot and i say so.
This isn't representation, this is real, authentic life and that's something not even the best TV shows can replicate and honestly this is just the most amazing thing ever. I'm a melted ball of cheese. Love you Ben!!!!
Are Charlie and Ben actually together? If so, there must be a God :)
I agree. This video isn’t representation. It’s showing that a man and a man can love each other exactly like a man and a woman can. They don’t have to be obsessed with Broadway or do each other’s makeup. There’s just love. No matter your gender.
2:08 That fast vibrato is insane. Ben is definitely the King of Vibrato.
Damn, for a 25 y/o this boy got soul.
julia m - this 25 yo boy is Ben freaking Platt google it
HE A FETUS AND IM 13
Ah we’re the same age! So happy I discovered him ❤️
julia m this kind of statement always confusing me, the younger you are I feel you’ve got more soul, as you grow you become more jaded... not always true but why is youth with soul always surprising to people
@@sophiewong9588 false 😉
Ben is the gay icon we all deserve
Do we REALLY deserve him? I think not. So children, every night, thank god for Ben Platt
He is the gay unicorn we all don't deserve. God bless Ben Platt
Hollie Don’t forget George Salazar. 😩👏🏻
@@Sun_Dreamer We can never forget George Salazar ❤️
Isn't he bisexual...
Honestly, this is the most beautiful way to come out. Also, the music is just perfect, and it's so wonderful with the clip.. I'm proud of him.
He's been out for a while.
A.J Johnson Not very publicly. This album is him announcing it to the world
He's been out to everyone since he was twelve
The insanely cool Jared Kleinman
Once again, the majority of people didn’t know. That is why so many people think he’s coming out. In a way, he is.
The insanely cool Jared Kleinman
“Out to everyone” like we all know him personally smdh
okay so the tears started pouring right about 2:19. that’s exactly how my panic attacks look (minus the person beside me).
i’m so grateful i found out about ben platt.
yeah, I got teary eyes when I recognised the restless shaky movements, cuz I also have panic attacks, but a bit worse that this...not often, just like 2times a year, but they usually happen when I'm overwhelmed by something and I tend to hide or lock myself somewhere (usually a bathroom) cuz I just break down, I'm a complete all-over-the-place mess and I want nobody to see me like this...but it'll be nice to have somebody to help me calm down :T
Dude I WISH my panic attacks looked like that... Usually there's more screaming and throwing things
My panic attacks are more like I start breathing strange, then I start crying ‘till I have a headache as bad as hell and then I get sleepy
Okay I have similiar thing but before crying I also throwing things and screaming... I thought it was more like meltdown tho...
(Also sorry for poor language and punctuation, I'm not native speaker)
yea that part hurt a little bit, purely bc of the “minus the person beside me”
This is one of the purest, most genuine and heartwarming music videos about true love I have ever seen. It touched me so deeply, specially when he had anxiety and started to cry and his partner helped him 'ease his mind'. I wish all of us could experience love like this. If you're reading this, *you deserve it too!*
OH MY GOD I'M GONNA CRY WHY IS HE SO TALENTED ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈

thank you for posting these lyrics... I wonder what it takes to pen such a song's lyrics.. He is truly gifted..
Everyone is ignoring the best part of this video, which is the panic attack at 2:16. Coming from a person who has had many panic attacks beginning at a very young age, this is EXACTLY what it looks and feels like. The shortness of breath, the pacing around the bedroom, the struggling, the holding the hands over the head, just desperately trying to get air into the lungs. Ben Platt does it all to a tee. It is easily the best, the only truly accurate portrayal of a panic attack I have ever seen. 100% accurate. It makes me cry every time I watch it. I fell in love with the lyrics of this song because of their true, honest depiction of mental health struggles before I ever watched the video, but the video made me fall even more in love with Ben Platt because of that one simple moment. It could not be executed more excellently.
The whole video is a piece of art but 2:16 is the most accurate representation of what’s it’s like to have panic attacks. I’m also a sufferer of anxiety, panic attacks and have been since I was 15 I’m now 22. I pace, my chest is tight, I fidget, lay on the floor with my arms above my head or stand up with them above me. This has only made me fall more in love with Ben and his music. The lyrics are simply stunning, so honest and true of someone who has mental health struggle. I completely agree he execute it amazingly
What I wouldn't give for a guy like this. I'm highly functioning autistic and I have BP2 and BPD. It would so nice to have someone like this
I’m autistic as well and I wish for my dream person. I’m sure that you’ll find your person who loves you like this.

Sonorous Sunflower amen
That vibrato in his voice that makes him sound like he's crying, gets me vehklempt Everytime! I love you Ben
He sings like he's so emotional, his voice is unique. What a gorgeous man Ben Platt is.
His voice is just like BUTTER!! the talent this man has is just outrageously unfair.
ok i’m loving the black and white it’s just so...beautiful and somehow more genuine than color would be
you don’t understand how many times a day I tell my friends how talented Ben is
GOD SAME
I do the same to my mom XD I’ll be sitting in the front and blasting Ben platt and my mom’s like “This guy again!?”
I'm crying so hard rn,,, not because i miss having a love like this. But because I don't think I'll ever experience a love like this (edit: it's been 11mths and I'm currently in a relationship that's helped me feel understood and loved and i thank him so much for saving me when i didn't think i needed saving. Looking back, it's hard to believe that I'm here as i am now so don't lise heart !!! For as much as you don't feel love for yourself, there's someone out there who will love you twice as much. I hope yall find the love you deserve even if you don't see it at first !!)
psycho illogical oh my gosh I wasn’t even crying until I read this comment cuz it’s so true.
Y'all the outfit he changes into at the end - goes directly into the "Grow As We Go" Music video. I'm not okay.
Ben Platt has gone and destroyed our emotions with yet another beautiful song and video🥰💕🎉
*you’ve outdone yourself and you’ve literally only released two songs*
*not prepared for the whole album, but I excitedly await it*
Platt, I understand you're probably not gonna see this, but I just want to thank you for being an amazing icon of mine, a great musician, and a wonderful person all together. Your music is on a constant playlist of mine, and it gets me through my day-to-day life. Thank you for everything you do. Thank you, Evan Hansen. Thank you, Payton Hobart. Thank you, Ben Platt. For everything.
mental health in relationships is such a sensitive topic but that being said, it’s an important one too.
ben and the team did a truly wonderful job at capturing anxiety in a relationship and how it can effect it drastically.
we’re so proud of you, ben
Representation matters so much. So many LGBTQ artists now making songs and videos with LGBTQ representation and same sex pronouns - Ben, Troye, Greyson - just to name a few. It's beautiful. If only this would have been around when I was struggling in my teens and early 20s...
Ken Shults maybe that’s why I’m single.... I have crushes on gay people lol
This is not about LGBTQ... It's about love.
@@lennyd5854 yeah, but it's rep for LGBTQ love, which they never got to experience when they were younger. So this is important
@@lennyd5854 Yeah, but the video for this song is explicitly gay.
Amen
Did I ask you to make me cry?!?!?! I'm like actually sobbing
WHY IS BEN SO UNDERRATED OML
I agree that Ben is truly A Gay Icon, and that this music video is an AMAZING representation of anxiety disorders in relationships BUT ALSO! HAVE YOU SEEN HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS?? It's easily one of the most gorgeous music videos I've seen in a while - so simple yet so breathtaking.
LOOK AT MY SON! PRIDE IS NOT THE WORD IM LOOKING FOR!-
Pride is the word we're looking for😍🌈
There is so much more inside me now
Ash Sanders awww same tho ♥️
HAMILTON 😂😂
I think it is. 🏳️🌈
Wow Ben this was such a dope video to watch. Love Charle. Y'all did amazing. Can't wait to watch the next part of your story.
Yes yes it was 😍
bold of you to assume there's more :(
Ben has written an album. Blessings, take care.
This song sows how universal love is. Very moving...
waIt untill you SeE TemPorArty LovE
Used to think of my boyfriend when I listen to this song. After six years, we’ve finally called our relationship quits. As much as it pains me to hear this song, it’s now a song I dedicate to myself. All along it’s been ME who’s been with me. I’m the one who can help me ease my mind. ❤️
I think that its so beautiful that this is his "coming out" story in a beautiful piece of work that doesnt feel like it's centered around his coming out at all. It feels like its centered around love. And that is a beautiful, wonderful, and organic thing he made. Thank you for your art
It's not. He literally came out like three years ago in an interview when asked to describe his first breakup
He came out to his family & friends when he was 12, before becoming a celebrity. So as far as Hollywood, he was never really in the closet.
In an article he said specifically that this wasn't a 'coming-out' album, but it is amazing and beautiful
Wow. Up until 5 minutes ago I had NO idea who this man was, and now I know he'll be one of the most played musicians on my playlist. Can't wait for his debut album to come out, will be definitely purchasing it. I love the tone of his voice, the cracks, the imperfections. Spot on. SO glad I "stumbled" across this music today. :)
@Lisa C. He going on tour in May! You should see if he playing in your city. General ticket is being released on Feb 22!
You should listen to dear Evan Hansen the original cast he played the lead character. The emotion in the song anf the way he songs it is amazing.
I envy you! You have Dear Evan Hanson ahead of you, not to mention everything Ben Platt has ever done. He's astonishing. Enjoy.
Lisa C. me right now
I knew no straight man could sing with such emotion and talent and literally make me breathless
I am so so so glad there is more representation in our community and I mean there's the fact that....MY FAVORITE ACTOR/SINGER IS LGBT LIKE ME
im crying, this is the best day ever
god he's so beautiful
Ever heard of tom odell?
@@bck2bck-750 Yeah, but nah :D
Or heard of Hozier? Maybe?
@@ayushikaushik2287 I think Hozier is the one outlier, mainly because he’s such a huge ally of the community lol
I just cry everytime I watch this
4:03 I don’t know if this was intentional but I love that the picture of Ben’s parents appears in the background while he holds up the photo. I know Ben admires the resilience of his parents’ relationship so I think it was put there as a reminder of how he wants his relationship to be- strong and full of love.
Esmeralda Pineda woah some great observational skills there my dude
Only my fave male voice in the world. Get Ben a Grammy asaps. 🥰
He already has one! But honestly he deserves every award ever
The insanely cool Jared Kleinman I know this, ofcourse. 😂 But a few for this coming album wouldn’t hurt. 💁🏻♂️
I like the scene where Ben’s boyfriend brought dinner to him. As if to say “if this is where you are emotionally and physically, that is where i want to be.” My husband did this recently. after 10 years together. I almost started to cry. He asked why I was sad and I couldn’t answer for a few moments.
My wedding song
did anybody else notice this was like the first part of "Grow as we go"?
Amparo Bracho you mean bad habit where he goes to a gallery and the photos are on the wall?
And the prequel to Bad Habit
I THOUGHT SO TOO!
Like the jacket looks the exact same.
And he has the same expression before "Grow as we go"
Like, he feel so...sad and lost, and this is probably why
Yaaa. Now I see.
I see it but it look more like bad habit
Wow i have never felt more single than ever. Haha
Straight up didn't even know he was gay until I saw this, but I'm not too surprised. Love this dude and his music to death, and hope to see more songs like this! Love seeing gay culture normalized by icons like Ben, it's a great change of pace for the musical culture nowadays.
Edit: Gay love, not gay culture I guess - Not sure which phrase fits better for this.
This is beautiful. This man should be a global icon, he is incredible.
This is so beautiful, I love that the videos are continuing a story❤️
Fellow panic! fan!!!
PANIC! AT THE FANDOMS I FRICKING LOVE YPUR TASTE IN MUSIC! panic and ben geez😱😍😂😂
Ben you take me back to the first time I heard Josh Groban sing only Josh has never admitted he was gay if he is. Your voice makes my ears sing your words make my heart sing. If I were in New York I swear to God I would stalk you with love that is

Love your account name!!
I cried when I first heard it
I cried when I saw this after the 58385th time hearing the song anyway
Thanks Ben, making me bawl since 2017 😭😭
Can we talk about his acting skills? Damn, he's good.
Okay yes! He had to film all of that 💕💕 so talented
It’s nice seeing music and theatre representing OUR truth. If only I had this in my realm when I was younger.
Jeremy Ratliff My thoughts exactly!
Ah, Ben. You're cornering the market on emotionally bruised, longing, ruminative songs that I can't stop listening to.
2:16 I just can't handle these lyrics combined with what seems to be him panicking/having anxiety 😭🙏
All I do is cry......his music is so beautiful.
Peter Willis so beautiful! ❤️. Ben Platt!
I'm a from country in West Africa where it's forbidden for two people the same gender to be this close. I grew up without parents. And family never showed deep love to me so I couldn't tell them my problems. I couldn't tell them when I'm hungry,needs some clothes or money . I get depressed sometimes, felt like I never existed. Praying I find a friend who will love me and help me ease my mind.
Praying for you too!
Are u Nigerian?
@@themajestyjoshua no I'm not
Seeing music videos with a couple other than cisgender straight couples just warms my heart cause it means we are evolving in the right direction. I feel so proud right now. I'm gonna cry.
it's fine it's not like i needed my heart anyway
Rea Keebz or a wig
Ben, I'm Brazilian and I'm always very moved by your songs. I still don't have anyone who can calm my mind, but I hope one day I can, I'll come back here to tell you how it was. I love you. Write more about us on the next album, us gays need this.
beautiful- just- wow. absolutely beautiful
Ben really demonstrates what anxiety is like and I think that’s great representation for all of us. Thank you for doing what you’re doing :) we love you and we will never stop being inspired by you.
This is so beautiful, the lyrics and your voice, the cinematography and storyline of the video, just everything. Can't wait to see where you go
The “darling only you can ease my mind” hits so different and it’s so beautifully done
I'm not crying it's just lemonade in my eyes
Great. Ugly crying at work. 😭 😭 😭
Just gorgeous. The song and the video.
Last thing I know I'm eating lunch. Now, I'm crying endless! I want to hug my love right now. Damn it, Ben!
Do you know how hard it is to watch this at work and try to hold back the tears? Beautiful song, beautiful video, beautiful voice. The most angelic voice I’ve ever heard. Can’t wait to see him on tour.
1:08 can we all just take a moment to admire how adorable this looks
I find it oddly calming too. Seeing him calm and at ease helps to calm me. It's kinda weird.
Agreed! It’s absolutely adorable! ❤️
Isn't this like a dream we all have? No?
And 0:54 It was like I could physically feel that ♥
He's got the voice of an angel. This is so raw and real. Ben knows how to get me in my feelings!!!
[Verse 1]
Most days I wake up with a pit in my chest
There are thoughts that I can't put to rest
There's a worry that I can't place
Most nights, I am restless and quiet won't come
So I lay there and wait for the sun
There's a trouble that won't show its face
[Pre-Chorus]
You came out of nowhere and you cut through all the noise
I make sense to the madness when I listen to your voice
[Chorus]
Darling, only you can ease my mind
Help me leave these lonely thoughts behind
When they pull me under, and I can feel my sanity start to unwind
Darling, only you can ease my mind
[Verse 2]
I'll admit, for a moment I felt so afraid
Just to show you the mess that I made
There are pieces I usually hide
But when you collect me with your steady hand
With a language that I understand
I feel put back together inside
[Pre-Chorus]
You came out of nowhere and you cut through all the noise
I make sense of the madness when I listen to your voice
[Chorus]
Oh Darling, only you can ease my mind
Oh help me leave these lonely thoughts behind
When they pull me under, and I can feel my sanity start to unwind
Darling, only you can ease my mind
Darling, only you can ease my mind
Help me leave these lonely thoughts behind
When they pull me under, and I can feel my sanity start to unwind
Darling, only you can ease my mind
You are one beautiful human!😘
The fact that this only has 400,000 views is a crime
Conscious_Whisper Heading to 2 million now. There should be more! Never thought I live to the day when there would a video like this. Pride is not a big enough word!
Conscious_Whisper No, it's not a crime. We're just very privileged & blessed to be here & be able to 'love' Ben.
"When you collect me woth your steady hands" just warms my heart
Im still here, crying over this masterpiece for the nth time
Same here bud

Right, why do people need to center things around sexual orientation? Im heterosexual and still feel this strongly. It's all about soul
Dakota Bridges I think a lot of comments are commenting about it since it isn’t as represented, but even then I don’t think they should be commenting about his sexuality that much, as it more often than not also puts you in a bad spotlight. Kind of like instead of being hated you’re loved for being a circus animal.
great. another year of ben making me cry with his talent
this video>> BUT ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW THIS IS THE INTERN FROM THE OFFICE?
BUT ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW THIS IS THE GAY WEREWOLF FROM TEEN WOLF
The intern from Office is actually Charlie Carver's twin brother, not him. I thought it was him too when I watched it!
ARE WE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT"The Boys In The Band"????
@@adav135 THANK YOU🙌💙
whether you're here from DEH, the Politician, or your Spotify recommended, you're here, and you're listening.
and i think that's pretty cool :)
Is it weird I relate to this on a STRONG UNWORLDLY emotion level?
Nah bro same
Same here. 🙋♀️
Performing gives me such a rush
Madison Summerfield this is the most random yet most relatable comment I’ve seen oml :)
pitch please
Abigail O'Neil o right, thx for letting me know, it’s still relatable tho 😂
I forgot how benji was in pitch perfect I fucking hate this now 😂😂😂
i dont understand how everyone is STILL sleeping on this incredible album
It's not so much about our looking to others to fix us; it's about our letting them create the best cushion they can. Because they love us.
i started bawling when hes having an anxiety attack and the guy started holding his hand, THIS IS EVERYTHING
SAME I FUCKING LOST IT
When you realize this is both gay and about mental health. Ben and I are basically the same person!
Happy Emo SAME AHSJDNF
mood
Except that he has a Tony. And you don't.
Countrycowboy08 Savage. ;-;
@@CountryCowboy008 That was a whole drag right there.
I don't what it is about him but I started with his 'grow as we go' to 'older' and then this. And everything is on point. Like every song is for me and it's like telling me 'you're not alone fam'. making me cry a river here.
ioucholi geek i can sort of relate but in a different way with the same songs you mentioned.
This is our best life to live, and you truly make me want to live my life truthfully and wholeheartedly!
May your Blessings bring to many, the Blessings you have brought to my life!
You deserve a lot of good things in life. You deserve whatever good thing you want, whenever you want, to change your life for the better.
