    Fairly new Ben fan here, found him on Insta when his “Head Honcho” song came across my reels. Well I’m here to say I came for the reels, stayed for the feels. I just watched this for the first time with my kids. We danced, I cried (Heroes anyone?), and there was joy. Thanks Ben for your music. It’s given me life as we’ve come out of a rough season. You’ve permeated all my playlists and it’s truly a breath of fresh air.

    The thing about Ben rectors songs; is that they aren't directly about inspiration: they're moreover so about life and it's ups and downs. And thats why I like his music so much, because they're about life.

    The amount of love I have for this whole film and this whole album is unreal. I just discovered your music back in the summer of 2019, and honestly, I’m so glad I did. Thank you Ben Rector for being you, and for being a lovely artist to listen to!

    This is such a beautiful album. My husband passed away unexpectedly last summer, and somehow I found this album. And God uses it to brighten my days and remind me that He’s still got dreams for me. Thank you!

    This song, "Dream on" has a line, "When I close my eyes now, I just fall asleep." So applicable. :) All the songs are real life. I saw him in concert in Utah. Best Concert, ever!

    @kellysuew9118 Před 2 lety +13

    So happy to get to rewatch and share this!
    I’ve *Ben* a fan for 10+ years, “Forever Like That” was our wedding song and I’ve seen you in concert 3 times 😊
    The last time was in March 2020 when I was technically in labor with my son 🤰🏻and I still told my husband that I was going to the show and I stood in a super long merch line for a t-shirt 😅😅 I joked about naming him Ben, but we ended up on Alvin 💙
    My household will always play your music and root your writing on. And I can’t wait to take my son to one of your concerts again someday! He’ll probably dance as much as he did the last time in my belly 😜
    Thanks for sharing all the Joy with your music! ❤️❤️❤️

    From the walking in between to this. You have saved my life from some of the darkest moments of my life. I’m indebted to you Ben, as a future voice teacher and choir teacher. I will play this music for my students one day, so that your words can be heard, loved, and passed on to the next generation who needs a musician like you. Thank you again Ben, I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for you.

    Your music has been with me since I started college in Auburn in 2008, and the melodies of your albums have been a soundtrack to many of our lives during the highs and lows. The love put into each word, chord, and message comes through so clearly. The swelling two notes of brass in "Heroes" makes those feelings swell each time. You just have a way with music, and the JOY it brings you is spread so easily to all of us. THANK YOU. I cannot wait to see you in concert again.
