spoilers!!!
Disappointed that my boy dangle dang didn’t make the cut, but clary Mackle is a solid choice. 5/7 would friend again
you didn't have enough bizzare samples to convince Ben I guess
I had to go with my heart, wish you would understand. 😔
My mind hurts
Perfect score
@@ElMushian I think the perfect score would be 7/11.
Ben Levin’s channel is like a cross between Adult Swim and Sesame Street.... but for Broke Musicians😂🙏🏼
I honestly can't tell if the world would benefit more from a Ben Levin Adult Swim show or an actual Ben Levin kid's show.
for me sometimes it's like don't hug me I'm scared but made by bill wurtz
Don't ask me how, but his "Video to help you wake up in the morning" video gave me a Bob Ross vibe.
Kinda like Yo Gabba Gabba
hooblagoo mid 2000’s Cartoon Network would have 100% green lit this.
The “samples + gates” technique is amazing. Also, the world needs a “dancing hot dog” spin-off film. So mysterious, so dangerous.
I aspire to be as good a trumpet player as dancing hot dog.
My favorite technique is running my Kordbot at 30 bpm into my NDLR then out to MPC software loaded with samples so I'm chaining sequencers to the EDM/Hip Hop samples. Reggae samples are especially nice for this.
This is just Blues Clues for adults.
But that’s a good thing. Take care Dr. Levin.
bruh
I get more Yo Gabba Gabba vibes
Thats still Fake Dr. Levin for you!
The clickbait title was pretty genius, I came expecting some bizarre competition of Adam Neely and Jessica fighting over who gets to be your best friend. I'm glad it turned out to much more bizarre and wholesome.
"i'll make you vegan lasagna but won't help you with laundry" is how my relationship works tbh
I see this video as Ben's most direct communication to all of us and the experience or desires of an artist to their their audience.
"Ben you should have way more friends ['subscribers']! You have 100k friends, that's nice, but you should have more. Actually no, five hundred thousand friends is good, but you should have five MILLION friends and that would be ten times as good and ten times as much friendship!".
But is it? What I hear is Ben saying lots of friends are good, viewcounts are good, we all want to be seen. But it's more important to foster closer bonds with real meaning, with people who you are on the same wavelength with, than it is about stats and numbers.
Another thing I thought was interesting was the moment when he gets techy with the Reaper music software. This video is the kind of content anyone in the world would enjoy, musician or not. It is so simple and universally charming: fun music, funny characters, cartoon dancing, peeing dogs, etc. "Popular media" you could call it. And then right in the middle of it all, he takes that moment to demonstrate a very narrow, technical demonstration showing techniques and terms that a lot of people would not understand, which are specific and only relevant to to a certain, niche audience: music production nerds. I think that was a deliberate choice, to swerve off the road for a minute or two, as if to say, just because I can please everyone, have lots of friends, and make a piece of work that the greatest number of people would enjoy, it's also fulfilling to take a break, hunker down, and connect deeper with a single friend or person (in this case, the more niche audience). You can sing to a sold-out stadium. And you can sing to a single friend.
Finally, the ending sums it up. Ben is on a couch with his good friend. He starts to sing a not-too-great ukulele song about liking the same TV shows as his friend, and that one reason he likes his friend so much is because they like the same things. In other words, there are those people that we are are on the same page with (that wavelength/vibe thing): our shared values, outlook on life, what we cherish. We must love and connect with these special friends in our lives.
Ben is on the couch watching TV with his friend, singing in the most simple way about the "TV shows" he likes. The shot is framed dead-center. Ben looks straight ahead. The camera position is presumably where the TV is.
He isn't watching TV. He is seeing us. He is on our screen; we are on his. The artist and audience is not an active/passive relationship, but intertwined, both seeing each other, needing each other, and creating the wholeness of creation through it.
That's just my opinion of how the video spoke to me.
grumlo1 I like the hotdog
Please keep analysis of the Ben Levin to a minimum, it ruins the fun. This Man is NOT what he seems, though the simulation has proven rather convincing
@@ozmorse7250 I think sharing interpretations of peoples' work is fun and important. As long as you don't dogmatically believe someone else's opinion, or your own, is the objectively true one.
I'm not crying - YOU'RE crying!
Man, I sure hope Ben isn’t seeing me while I’m on the toilet!
Schlamp comes with an original purple GameCube and a copy of doubledash. Easy victory.
Lightly damaged
Apparently not.
The level of creativity here is hard to take. I needed this to stay upbeat about the state of the world. Thanks dude.
Yea, a lot of fucked up things happening. But it's important to remember two things. One, that upheaval is often necessary to make positive change. The civil rights movement of the 60's is a perfect example. Can you imagine how much worse it would be had that upheaval never occurred? And two, all eras, generations etc have their own unique struggles. That said, things haven't been so great, but never forget too that hope is eternal.
I think the BLU (The Ben Levin Universe) cinematic universe is my favorite. So many characters with unique qualities to choose from
Always impressed by not only the volume of work you’re able to put out, but the consistently high quality and creativity of everything! I aspire to your work ethic and commitment to the art of it all. Stay cool, and keep bringing your gifts into the world. 😎
Yours is the most important bleep that my phone makes. We met a couple times Ben, you probably don't really remember, and each time i was struck. I guess people tend to idealize the people who's art they respect, especially when they live in a different country and speak a different language; But from day one, when i first listened to a Bent Knee song, until now that I am a long time fan, I have been amazed at the humanity that comes through your music and your content, from the most deep and violent to the funny and absurd.
Most stuff makes me feel the feelings that the person went through making the thing, yours makes me feel my own feelings, makes me feel alive and kicking. What i was struck by as we met was that there was no artistic pretentiousness, no divide between us, no strange expectation of devotion, simply a human being. And there's nothing more one could, or should, ask for.
I imagine you get this kind of stuff a lot. Hope you have fun on your break. Or not, if that's not what you're looking for.
I realise you're from another country but if everytime you met him he struck you... that's not cool... you should know you can talk about it... if you want to...
Oh my deep voice singing Ben * swoons *
My favorite part
i wonder if he was inspired by Hazzan Elliot Portner
Reminded me of Scott Walker
so trippy.
remember that episode of Rick and Morty, they're at the hospital watching interdimensional satelite tv.
is this from interdimensional CZcams?
i would sell most of my internal organs to have a creative mindset as unbridled as Ben's
I'm going to acknowledge this video's presence with a wave or a nod but not attempt verbal communication.
This feels like a cancelled kids show.
And we know why it was cancelled
2:47 for the most Bill Wurtz version of The Lick.
That’s such a touching way to do what you needed to do. ........ Also I’ve been playing guitar for over ten years (clarinet graduate) and I just started* saying note* names out loud while I play them and I feel like a better player in less than a week. Tell fake Dr. Levin I appreciate him.
Enjoy the journey. ^-^
Congratulations Clary Mackle!!
My favorite part about ben’s videos is that I never know what to expect
Just a friendly reminder for you to check out Ben's course GETTING SONGS DONE. I was really fascinated by the completeness of the outro song. It was... Really nice.
The thing I love the most about Ben's stuff is the fact that its more about creativity than it is about music. Its more about life than any given moment in that life.
Hope U have a nice break! With love happiness stuff from Sweden.
So glad you picked Clarie Mackle, she was my favorite!
Almost cried towards the end, man your trippy videos really are my favorite part of CZcams.
O iakana waba bi - is my official hit-song for today.
The clary Mackle song was SO good, I’ve been listening it on repeat for a while and could go on all night.
Things relevant between me and consumption of this video
I started watching Ben Levin 2 days ago and subscribed
I have not slept in nearly 20 hours
I am currently trying to fight a sugar addiction
You better believe my brain is unsure if I'm actually experiencing this or not
Good luck man!
His channel disappears if you go to sleep..... Don't do it man!! ✊ 🥳
ben, thanks for uncompromisingly being yourself man! this is so beautifully sentimental and unique
My boy Shlamp in the running for that second wave.
Love what you do Ben
I love your use of Locrian mode. I see that there's beauty in the squiggly places.
Locrian just got a little less lonely.
Where was Locrian used??
Super curious about the whole process that goes into making this wonderful videos.
They just feel magical and made by angels.
Yay. Another Ben Show!!! Today is a good day
Thank you for all of the wonderful, inspiring content, Ben.
Thank you Ben for all the beauty you bring into the world!
I really hope someone finds your channel and this is the first video they see.
Ben.... this is a fever dream of amazing. Enjoy your break! Lookin forward to more of this stuff
Oh my gosh I love this so much. It feels very reminiscent of those really trippy cartoons I’d watch before I went to school. A lot of work went into this video! Thank you for the cOnTEnT.
I just feel something unexplainable watching those videos, it's so good vibes.... love it
Absolutely love this, tons of inspiration
Thank you, Ben

Your input caught your output, and you're out put from all that put in.
Thank you for sharing. It's all beautiful.
God is with you.
I started crying at the end of the video, because i have now realised how amazing you are as a youtube creator and the absolute true golden quality of it and yourself. You deserved to be recognised as an icon.
I cannot believe how humbly good your videos are. I love the art aspect as well and generally all creative ace. love it man keep it up :)
Love you Ben, have a great 2 weeks.....
This is honestly such a lovely video, Ben. Great stuff as usual, hope you have a good few weeks off! 💖
Enjoy isolation! I'm really looking forward to your next videos. Every single one is a creative gift!
Amazing, i learnt a lot of things and i had a very good moment with you and all your friends
I feel like I've gone insane watching this
I love it
Covid content has been amazing man, you're the channel I look forward to new uploads most. Love the mix between completely surreal and quite educational/inspirational segments.
I'm just so thoroughly entertained. Thanks Ben
You do music so good that it makes me happy.
I really like being happy.
I like you and when you do music.
Thank you!
I want the full track off the gated samples with your voice
Man, I was genuinely happy Clary won. Enjoy your time off, Ben!
It's okay to take a break Ben, I will look forward to your return! I love these!
You make me my best! Ben Show Forever!!!
Your videos are the highlight of my week. Thank you for continuing to be so creative and inspirational. You're like a young Fred Rogers
I like ben show
I did not realize what I was about to watch, I am very happy with what I've watched.
I agree with Adam, Dangle Dang should have been the one!!!
Clary Mackle's cooking song is probably my favorite song of all time.
This is the first ben levin video i've ever seen. I love it
You're awesome Ben! Keep doing you! Thank you
The amount of effort put into editing audio and video is amazing! I don't want to think about how many hour were behind this video
Holy shit Ben, I'm keeping this for the future! Such a great video!
Enjoy your time off! We all need it :D
Wonderful video as always
every video that comes out is a jumble of crazed music madness but theres always one line that makes me re evaluate my entire understanding of music
You're vids have been absolutely amazing lately
The Weird pollinates the Weird and lo, Weird blossoms.
Love you Ben! Enjoy your time off
i love y'all's work so much 😭
Weird, but also ended up being very touching.
It's like abstract art but in video form. Thumbs up, you got a new "friend" buddy.
The presentation style reminds me of too many cooks and i love it
Why is Clary Mackle' s song so good damn
it literally came to my head "this is so good and watching this for free! what a time to be alive!!" but then i remembered that I'm in Brazil 2020. thanks ben for taking me out of reality for a second!
This is great and isolation would be fine especially with the nice voice!
Also I love that Ben uses Reaper because there not many channels that do and now I don't feel so alone + I learn new things :) ❤️
I know this is probably not true, but I love how every choice you make seems like you never said no to any of the ideas you thought of. Like ANY.
Love it, very inspirational
Thanks again, Ben, for being you.
Yet another masterpiece by *real* Ben Levin!
I love this! It's like if Welcome to Nightvale and Teletubbies made a show together - with a recording tip thrown in. Nice man!!
This is my favourite CZcams video in existence.
This is my favorite thing ever!
I'm completely blown away by everything you create, you inspire me to just try new things and to just create for the joy of creating. I hope you enjoy isolation with Clary Mackle!
Have a good eye so lay shun Ben, and thanks for all the fish!
i needed this, thank you
Take your time, Ben, we love ya
this is the most art I have ever seen.
Dear Ben, This really helped with my life choices. Thank you.
I love this show
This man is really Frank Zappa mixed with adult swim
I haven't laughed like that in a while, hot damn. I've been sleeping on Ben Levin's videos and I gotta catch up on all this joyful content!
Ben, if I was the president, I would put you in charge of all musical education😂
This is Blue's Clues for experimental musicians and I love it.
