Holy shit guys your response has been overwhelming! I know I'm not completely out of the woods yet and there's always chance of a relapse but that's why I made this video as a point of no return... Thank you so much for still being here and I Love you all x
I used to watch your game covers when i was a lil teen, and you inspired me to play bass and drums and i started playing in school gigs. Im glad youre back after a while. Take your time learning and focusing on yourself. Keep inspiring and taking care of yourself.
@@shamshab4559 yep bought a bass when i was 16, drums at 17 and an electric guitar at 18 and i play them when i have the time. Squid was a big influence on my instrument collection and playing
It takes balls to do what you just did there. You can't move on from a problem unless you admit you have / had a problem and you just leaped over the start line. I can tell it wasn't easy to make this video, the easy thing would have been to stay in your comfort zone. You are so talented and no matter what content you make from here, I can't wait to see it. You'll find your niche as long as you continue to try things that aren't in that comfort zone and like I say, this video proves you can do that. Good luck with everything, I wish you all the best.
I followed you 8-9 years ago and still listen to your covers not knowing what had happened. It's good to hear from your channel. I'll keep throwing my support at you and you keep creating what makes you happy!
The thing you said about the covers being complex and you spending a lot pf time on them - it definitely showed because every cover you did was very meticulous and well put together. And probably inspired many including me. So thank you for that. But yes, having that pressure off and picking covers/video ideas that you actually want to do is the better route!
Bro, you are the main reason I fell in love with recording music 10 years ago. You are my biggest musical hero, thank you for that! I started in my bedroom in Czechia and now I'm working in a recording studio in Manchester. It's been my dream to meet you in person, talk, jam, skydive, whatever ;) And after this video that feeling got even stronger as I can relate to some of the stuff you're talking about. Stay strong brother! Stepan
Hey Stephan long time no see! I've seen some of you're work. Good stuff keep it up man! I'll be in Manchester this afternoon with the lads. DM the basilisks on insta and you can come meet us in town if you like :)
To see you tatooe of the puzzle in your arm gives me the chill, so many times watching your songs on and on, and watch you play, was awesome Feels like yesterday Blessings and my best wishes to you and all the yours 🙌
Dont feel bad men, we all have all this journey for a reason, sometimes yes could feel like why I didnt do this or did this but at the end its all a learning experience, a progress we all have to been through Im really glad you have your things together now man, you are one awesome artist in a lots of ways Take care man 💪
Wow, it was great hearing your story. I have been subbed since your GTA covers and always loved your musical content. I'm happy that you made it through your journey and that you are one the right track, keep pressing on! I hope the best for you, and that you stay focused on the things you love to do, Never Settle!!!
One of the most awaited comeback!! My man you were my childhood every game i played you had it's cover and i always got inspiration from you to be able to play instruments like you do man... it's okay to feel low/ depressed sometimes and life is full of ups and downs but getting out of depression/ addiction like you are doing takes a lot of guts. Love the fact that you are recovering and we your true fans are here for your great upcoming content :)
I remember showing all of my mates your GTA theme song covers, this is all when we were first getting into recording/mixing and your videos were a massive inspiration. The GTASA cover just popped up on my feed today which lead me here, hope you're doing better now mate, you seem like a stand up guy. Cheers :)
Bro I’m glad you’re back, I was one of those kids watching your GTA covers, now I’m 23. My experiences were very different to yours with psychedelics, I’ve made myself financially free, I’m a traveller and I fight. Though pot and alcohol had consumed me during uni, psychedelics helped me give it up (particularly acid/shrooms). It’s so nice to see you back though! Brings back memories from when I was 13.
i grew up watching your covers, it’s what got me into music and what made me start playing instruments. i’m so glad to hear you got yourself out of that dark place man, hope it all goes smoothly for you! onwards and upwards
So glad to hear your recovery is going well. It's been ages since I subscribed to this channel (pretty sure I discovered it through your Bully cover) and I'm certain your old game covers inspired me to take my music more seriously (both playing and writing). Wishing nothing but the best for you!
there was absolutely no need for you to make such an open and honest statement, you don’t need to explain yourself to anybody but it takes guts to do what you’ve done here. nothing but respect.
I feel you man, I battled my weed addiction for 7 years I truly hated myself. I'm sober for more than half a year now and I love it. You can do it, you just have to be kind to yourself once you quit. You can play some games and eat some sugar to ease the withdrawals, with sleep tho good luck it takes a few weeks to a month or two but then it's getting back to normal. Can't wait for your new stuff btw I love what you do.
just watched your Iron Man 3 cover for the millionth time, it feels like. Saw this video and immediately had to click on it. Damn, scary how you changed, on the outside alone. Crazy what you went through on the inside. Lost my dad as well 2 years ago almost on the day.. feel you when it comes to that blow. Amazing, that you beat that shit and are on the right side of the track again. Rooting for you to get all things sorted out and come back to YT. I am always amazed that you were able to learn all those instruments! So inspiring! All the best, mate!
"Hey Squid Physics! 🦑 I just took a trip down memory lane watching your video from 10 years ago where you performed the GTA V theme with your instruments. It was an absolute masterpiece and brought back so many great memories! Your creativity and musical talent are truly remarkable. I can't help but wonder how amazing a GTA VI theme cover would sound in your unique style. With the new game just around the corner, it would be incredible to see you bring your magic to the latest installment. Thank you for the years of entertainment and musical brilliance. Looking forward to whatever you have in store for the future! 🎶"
It is good to see people come back from the ashes. Creative people often need to feel the void themselves to truly respect the little things in this life.
Hi ! I am a Frenchman who has been watching you for 10 years, you are one of the people who most inspired me to make music myself, you are a model for me, particularly because of your ability to master so many different instruments , it's admirable and I hope to be able to do the same one day, I am currently producing an ambitious series of video game covers with sets, costumes etc... And you are one of my main inspirations and I am certainly not the only one! Glad that your dark period is behind you and good luck in your projects :)
Mate! I’m so happy I caught up with you. This video felt like meeting an old friend. All the struggle you’ve been through, it’s so painfull, but still, you’re here, and ready to reinvent yourself! That’s so exiting, I honestly cannot wait to see what’s up❤
10 years watching you and I love your work. In some way, you are my inspiration in music. I started to do some covers and my own music for you. you gave me inspiration, and I started to buy my instruments and my equipment for my own home studio. From chile 🇨🇱 you got all my support and admiration.
We are with you dude, I know you've already heard this lots of times but... You're not alone. We, your fans, will always support you Keep improving, be greater, be yourself. Fuerza hermano, saludos desde México.💪🏼🥺🇲🇽
We can't know what you gone through in your life. But what we surely know as your channel viewers that you have a special gift. Yeah, you spent 40 hours to create a one great video and that's why we love this. Your high quality art resonated with our souls, if you let me say so. I can't say why life turns tough, I am an atheist like you were. I haven't met any of those things you talked in the video about but that's the path. I wish you only good people, stuff, job, meetings, happiness, health, to be surrounded by heart-warming people. Your experience made you stronger, for sure. Hello from Russia! You have audience from all over the world and your art makes us happy, inspires us, great isn't it? Peace!
I have followed you for many years. You were an inspiration to me. As a kid I used to say "I want to play like that" or "I want to do that", the video you made showing your room and your instruments was like "woooow, I want to get there". These days I was wondering what happened to the channel and this video popped up. Cheer up man, after the storm, comes the rainbow, I hope to keep listening to you. I send you greetings and encouragement from Venezuela 😎.
Another one here in love of your old covers as an inspiration, I wondered about this channel and I'm glad to know you are fighting and keeping forward. Keep it up man we wish you all the best!! :)
Всегда смотрю и восхищаюсь, тем, что ты делаешь! Всегда мечтала играть на музыкальных инструментах, но не получилось. Сейчас смотрю на тебя и кайфую! ❤
I listened to a lot of your covers when they came out, but then i hit the road of life and it had been a long time before today when i ran across your videos again and it was nostalgia embodied. I hit your channel since i wanted to see what you have been up to and man, you have been on such a journey. So proud of you for all the growth you have been on and i pray that you keep on staying strong. Take care of yourself bro, you are a pretty awesome dude and you have such an amazing talent. Keep being awesome!
I remember being the sixth grade when I discovered your covers of GTA theme songs, I admit watching only those and maybe few other videos. Glad that you posted those covers on Spotify by the way! I decided to check your channel and this is one of the latest uploads, and I can relate. I am struggling currently with a vice of mine, but I guess I will manage to get rid of it at some point. Still on Sober October, something I recommend to try doing for the whole month next year. I am glad you are recovering and admitting you did wrong, but hey, who is without sin? Hate the sin, not the sinner! Have a great day and good luck in your recovery, we are waiting for new great stuff soon 🔜 😁
I've been a fan of your work for a long time now and as a musician I've always felt inspired by you. Unfortunately the bloody algorythm stopped showing me your stuff and today (for some Christmas reason) I thought to myself "What happened to Squid Physics?" And I came across this video. This took guts. I'm glad you're doing better and I hope you fully heal yourself. We're all with you my man. I'm looking foward to see what you will create in the future. Let's go!
damn! I remember watching your videos in elementary school about 10 years ago. you were a great inspiration to me. thanks to you I began to delve much more into music than I used to. I would dare to say that thanks to you today I can live doing what I like. Cheer up man! You are a beast. We all go through dark moments, it's part of living. Whatever, I think this was a good time to thank you for sharing your talent with all of us and thank you for everything, seriously!
its so good to hear you are recovering man. there is always hope as long as we keep living. i cant believe how many years has been past since the first time i clicked on one of your covers and got amazed by the talent you posses. made me try to play some guitar. i hope all is well for you now.
I really enjoyed all the stuff you did on this channel. I remember when you did the 20 year anniversary for playstation it was like a big recognition for all your skills. I really wish you all the best and would be really happy to listen to anything you create. Take care man and enjoy what you love the most about life.
This was courageous and very heartfelt. This kind of content brings such humanity to your channel. Having bettled with vices myself (not just 'city'), I found my way out the other side. Alan Carr's (not the comedian) on alcohol really helped. Stay strong and keep playing what makes you feel. Loved 'It's All A Bit Weird', amazing music. 😊
man you should write, not only plays, but maybe even an autobiography. you might still be young but i feel you have stories to tell. best of luck to whatever you do! 10 years really go by so fast
everything is going tog et better bro, I remember that when I was 12 I started watching your videos and they inspired me to play instruments, U are Great, boy. A friendly hug from Mexico arreeeee padrino
I've watched/listened to your old VGM covers countless times, just to find out now you've been struggling as of late... Pain is temporary but music is eternal. You should be proud of yourself for your personal and professional achievements despite any setbacks you may have suffered through. Let the music play, listen to the music, and keep on rockin' in the free world!
No entiendo mucho el ingles, pero solo quiero decir que desde muy chico empecé a ver tus videos, y me parecías genial, espero que te recuperes de cualquier cosa, y que todo te vaya bien a partir de ahora y que te mejores. Te admiro mucho.
Wishing you the best man, used to love your covers back in the day but happy to see you working on yourself these days and getting a grip on life etc. Best of luck to the future my man. Respect.
man!. WTF! i listen to your vol 1 playlist on spotify. i love all your gta musics. i ve also listened to your other covers. i always come back to this channel and watch your gta videos. i never listened to your voice. and iam a sort of a fan of yours. its so good to hear that you are back from the bad shit. this is the first non-gta video of yours i am watching now. thankyou man
I subscribed to your channel some 8-9 years ago. And i appreciate your honesty in this video. Im sorry to hear about your losses. But you will get back on the right track. Take good care of yourself in the first place: music will come by itself with all these experiences
Late for talking to seaguls, that's hilarious, sounds like a song name, too. But yes, everything is deeper, and more meaningful than we give it credit for. Also: I've subbed. Your father is with you. I hope your channel feels free.
Hey I hope you're doing good. Getting settled in your dad's house. You said you would post something by the end of the year and now we're two months into 2024. I'm hoping you're still clean. Rooting for you man.
hey ben, very good video, emotional and hard. For a long time I have been looking for the tattoo of the sea and the puzzle that you have on your arm. Where did you get it from? It's great and I want to get it tattooed. If you happen to see this comment, please tell me where you got it from. This comment may be written poorly now that I am using Google Translate, I am Argentine, greetings.
I'm really inspired by the way you play music. From time to time I watch some videos again and again. I wish you happiness and luck.) We're all losers. The main thing is to understand this, and start changing :) Now started listening to your album "It's All A Bit Weird" Thanks for the video. Greetings from Russia))
It's good to see you again&glad to hear you've got past all that. I hope and wish the best for you man. You're so talented and love your covers over the years.
Glad you're back and recovering. I followed your channel back then for your awesome music covers. It's no issue at all to do what you want with this channel to create the content that you actually wanna make. RUclips has changed a lot since then as well, anyway.
Before my comment I want to say sorry if you have some errors it's because I don't speak English so I'm using google translate. Well, wow, it's great that you recovered from all that, I never imagined because the channel was inactive (literally before watching this video I was watching one of your covers and I didn't know anything about this situation) but it's good that you keep going, you have a lot of talent and you should take advantage of it :D
That sucks man, drugs of any kind are hard to deal with. I'm glad you're not in denial of the problem. You should do the New Vegas Main Theme, or the Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction main theme.
Hats off to you bro! The journey you had till now was a tough one but the future will be bright because you stood strong. Take care of yourself man and keep on exploring whatever makes you happy.
It might be a bit unrelated, but I just want to thank you for all that you've done with this channel up until now and I'm hopeful to see more stuff when the time is right... Sometimes I find it insane to think I was just 8 years old when I started watching your stuff, and now I am what's supposed to be an adult... I think the influence your content had on me is not something I'll ever deny, there's a few people that truly inspired me to become a musician and do what I love, and one of the biggest names on that list is yours, man... Life has it's shit but, I'm really proud of who I've become until now and who I will be in a few years, and like I said, I'll always be grateful for the inspiration you brought to my really young mind, it has shaped me in the best possible way and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the universe... Keep on keeping on bud, I know you so got this, see you around~
Stay away from them psychedelics man. You're not the only one. Thank god you're alive! You would be dead here in the states. Love all of your content, you do you, stay busy man ;)
I'll watch whatever you put out. I went into this video only thinking of you as the guy that made the cool covers, now I feel like I know who you are really and while you may have needed to hit rock bottom to put out this authentic video, maybe everything happens for a reason. I've experienced ego death as well and I don't really talk about it but I know how profound it can be...
We love you Ben. Addiction is hard, and you’re not alone. I’m going on 5 months sober this month, and as time passes the thought of alcohol becomes disgusting. Keep your head up, and always remember you’re here for a reason. Much love to you my friend
Loved watching your GTA covers and other video game covers. Unfortunately i stopped when you stopped doing covers so its been a while since ive seen a video from you.
Hey Ben. I saw a few concerning things making me think you got hacked on your instagram as well as your Twitter, not sure if it is true or not but I’m worried it might be compromised.
Holy shit guys your response has been overwhelming! I know I'm not completely out of the woods yet and there's always chance of a relapse but that's why I made this video as a point of no return... Thank you so much for still being here and I Love you all x
Hope all is well you ❤
I used to watch your game covers when i was a lil teen, and you inspired me to play bass and drums and i started playing in school gigs. Im glad youre back after a while. Take your time learning and focusing on yourself. Keep inspiring and taking care of yourself.
Do you play bass now?
That's awesome to hear! Keep it up :)
@@shamshab4559 yep bought a bass when i was 16, drums at 17 and an electric guitar at 18 and i play them when i have the time. Squid was a big influence on my instrument collection and playing
same here, back in HS for me tbh a decade ago
Same from me!
It takes balls to do what you just did there. You can't move on from a problem unless you admit you have / had a problem and you just leaped over the start line. I can tell it wasn't easy to make this video, the easy thing would have been to stay in your comfort zone. You are so talented and no matter what content you make from here, I can't wait to see it. You'll find your niche as long as you continue to try things that aren't in that comfort zone and like I say, this video proves you can do that. Good luck with everything, I wish you all the best.
Thanks man :') you're right comfort is the root cause of stagnantion!
Takes a real man to put out a video like this. So much respect for you Ben, a good guy like you will get thru this
I followed you 8-9 years ago and still listen to your covers not knowing what had happened. It's good to hear from your channel. I'll keep throwing my support at you and you keep creating what makes you happy!

And probably inspired many including me. So thank you for that. But yes, having that pressure off and picking covers/video ideas that you actually want to do is the better route!
Thank you! And if I do make a cover I may also make a "making of' that cover to include the process I go through
Bro, you are the main reason I fell in love with recording music 10 years ago. You are my biggest musical hero, thank you for that! I started in my bedroom in Czechia and now I'm working in a recording studio in Manchester. It's been my dream to meet you in person, talk, jam, skydive, whatever ;) And after this video that feeling got even stronger as I can relate to some of the stuff you're talking about. Stay strong brother! Stepan
Hey Stephan long time no see! I've seen some of you're work. Good stuff keep it up man! I'll be in Manchester this afternoon with the lads. DM the basilisks on insta and you can come meet us in town if you like :)
It doesn't matter how dead the channel is, i will always watch your videos and like it. You made very good musics and I will always love it.
To see you tatooe of the puzzle in your arm gives me the chill, so many times watching your songs on and on, and watch you play, was awesome
Feels like yesterday
Blessings and my best wishes to you and all the yours 🙌
Dont feel bad men, we all have all this journey for a reason, sometimes yes could feel like why I didnt do this or did this but at the end its all a learning experience, a progress we all have to been through
Im really glad you have your things together now man, you are one awesome artist in a lots of ways
Take care man 💪

I am always amazed that you were able to learn all those instruments! So inspiring!
All the best, mate!
Love you man, do what is best for you and your people will support you no matter what.

It is good to see people come back from the ashes. Creative people often need to feel the void themselves to truly respect the little things in this life.
After all these years it’s cool to see the guy behind the music. So humble and genuine, right on to you man.
Все наладится .В жизни бывает всякое . Спасибо за творчество !
Hi ! I am a Frenchman who has been watching you for 10 years, you are one of the people who most inspired me to make music myself, you are a model for me, particularly because of your ability to master so many different instruments , it's admirable and I hope to be able to do the same one day,
I am currently producing an ambitious series of video game covers with sets, costumes etc...
And you are one of my main inspirations and I am certainly not the only one!
Glad that your dark period is behind you and good luck in your projects :)
man i love your gta covers watched them alot back in the day, i really hope things get better for u squid
Thanks for coming back and sharing all of this. Here to support you regardless of whatever content you create ❤

I have followed you for many years. You were an inspiration to me. As a kid I used to say "I want to play like that" or "I want to do that", the video you made showing your room and your instruments was like "woooow, I want to get there". These days I was wondering what happened to the channel and this video popped up. Cheer up man, after the storm, comes the rainbow, I hope to keep listening to you.

Proud of you for finding yourself again and are working to move forward! Looking forward to seeing all the you do and make in the future
You inspired me to get more into music with your covers years ago so I’ll always stick around to see your videos! Huge respect and much love
Another one here in love of your old covers as an inspiration, I wondered about this channel and I'm glad to know you are fighting and keeping forward. Keep it up man we wish you all the best!! :)

I really wish you all the best and would be really happy to listen to anything you create. Take care man and enjoy what you love the most about life.
This was courageous and very heartfelt. This kind of content brings such humanity to your channel. Having bettled with vices myself (not just 'city'), I found my way out the other side. Alan Carr's (not the comedian) on alcohol really helped. Stay strong and keep playing what makes you feel. Loved 'It's All A Bit Weird', amazing music. 😊
man you should write, not only plays, but maybe even an autobiography. you might still be young but i feel you have stories to tell. best of luck to whatever you do! 10 years really go by so fast
A big hug to you man, I'm glad that you overcame all of those obstacles. You are very talented we will be here supporting you
man I get you. 2 weeks ago, my relationship of 3 years with my now ex suddenly came to a end. I'm glad you are getting better!
Hope you doing ok brother. It was actually a HUGE blessing in disguise for me it just took me a while to see it. You got this!
everything is going tog et better bro, I remember that when I was 12 I started watching your videos and they inspired me to play instruments, U are Great, boy. A friendly hug from Mexico arreeeee padrino
Yes Ben!!! Just seen this and buzzing you did it. More more ❤
I've watched/listened to your old VGM covers countless times, just to find out now you've been struggling as of late... Pain is temporary but music is eternal. You should be proud of yourself for your personal and professional achievements despite any setbacks you may have suffered through. Let the music play, listen to the music, and keep on rockin' in the free world!
Hey SquidPhysics: The Score of Utopia could be a nice new project.... what you think ? Stay positive !
No entiendo mucho el ingles, pero solo quiero decir que desde muy chico empecé a ver tus videos, y me parecías genial, espero que te recuperes de cualquier cosa, y que todo te vaya bien a partir de ahora y que te mejores. Te admiro mucho.
Wishing you the best man, used to love your covers back in the day but happy to see you working on yourself these days and getting a grip on life etc. Best of luck to the future my man. Respect.
man!. WTF! i listen to your vol 1 playlist on spotify. i love all your gta musics. i ve also listened to your other covers. i always come back to this channel and watch your gta videos. i never listened to your voice. and iam a sort of a fan of yours. its so good to hear that you are back from the bad shit. this is the first non-gta video of yours i am watching now. thankyou man
I subscribed to your channel some 8-9 years ago. And i appreciate your honesty in this video. Im sorry to hear about your losses. But you will get back on the right track. Take good care of yourself in the first place: music will come by itself with all these experiences
I can see myself watching your GTA 3 cover 10yrs ago. Sweet times, thank you!
Late for talking to seaguls, that's hilarious, sounds like a song name, too. But yes, everything is deeper, and more meaningful than we give it credit for.
Also: I've subbed. Your father is with you. I hope your channel feels free.
Keep doing! One or Two Years - and you be absolutely grateful for your decision to be free!
Didn't knew it was a publishing company before. Glad you're doing okay. Loved your Diddy Kong Racing tune
Glad you're back! Right in time for a GTAVI cover!
Hey I hope you're doing good. Getting settled in your dad's house.
You said you would post something by the end of the year and now we're two months into 2024.
I'm hoping you're still clean. Rooting for you man.
Love you bro. Been listening to you for 10 years.. same I went through the same exact thing. We are here for you bro❤
lots of love man, you inspired me to learn various instruments
I am currently composing songs, it would be a great pleasure for me if you would help me compose them, you are really good at what you do.
hey ben, very good video, emotional and hard. For a long time I have been looking for the tattoo of the sea and the puzzle that you have on your arm. Where did you get it from? It's great and I want to get it tattooed. If you happen to see this comment, please tell me where you got it from. This comment may be written poorly now that I am using Google Translate, I am Argentine, greetings.
Man you are awesome, I am watching this after five months, I started watching your game covers when I was literally 21, Man really miss you.😢
I'm really inspired by the way you play music. From time to time I watch some videos again and again. I wish you happiness and luck.) We're all losers. The main thing is to understand this, and start changing :)
Now started listening to your album "It's All A Bit Weird"
Thanks for the video.
Greetings from Russia))
I love how humble you are, I resonate with the idea of wanting to connect with the people who appreciate what we do, what we create...
I grew up listening to the GTA covers you had made.. your works made me appreciate creating and listening to music!
It's good to see you again&glad to hear you've got past all that. I hope and wish the best for you man. You're so talented and love your covers over the years.
U have some BIG talent, you can do it man. Take your time and do what makes your happy. Would love to see you makinng more music on this platform!
Glad you're back and recovering.
I followed your channel back then for your awesome music covers. It's no issue at all to do what you want with this channel to create the content that you actually wanna make. RUclips has changed a lot since then as well, anyway.
Legendary to admit it, excited for the future of this channel, staying tuned
Man your video game covers brought me so much joy you can’t imagine, I wish I could give you a hug. Take care man, cheers
Before my comment I want to say sorry if you have some errors it's because I don't speak English so I'm using google translate. Well, wow, it's great that you recovered from all that, I never imagined because the channel was inactive (literally before watching this video I was watching one of your covers and I didn't know anything about this situation) but it's good that you keep going, you have a lot of talent and you should take advantage of it :D
Good to see ya man. Maybe next cover we get will be the GTAVI theme ;)
That sucks man, drugs of any kind are hard to deal with. I'm glad you're not in denial of the problem. You should do the New Vegas Main Theme, or the Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction main theme.
Hats off to you bro! The journey you had till now was a tough one but the future will be bright because you stood strong. Take care of yourself man and keep on exploring whatever makes you happy.
Always gonna be here to support ya, never give up man :)
I have a lot of respect for you and making this video and sharing your story. Thank you
It might be a bit unrelated, but I just want to thank you for all that you've done with this channel up until now and I'm hopeful to see more stuff when the time is right... Sometimes I find it insane to think I was just 8 years old when I started watching your stuff, and now I am what's supposed to be an adult... I think the influence your content had on me is not something I'll ever deny, there's a few people that truly inspired me to become a musician and do what I love, and one of the biggest names on that list is yours, man... Life has it's shit but, I'm really proud of who I've become until now and who I will be in a few years, and like I said, I'll always be grateful for the inspiration you brought to my really young mind, it has shaped me in the best possible way and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the universe... Keep on keeping on bud, I know you so got this, see you around~
Stay away from them psychedelics man. You're not the only one. Thank god you're alive! You would be dead here in the states. Love all of your content, you do you, stay busy man ;)
Please make gta 6 cover remake
I just felt the holy spirit calling me here
Saying nothing is what turns an issue into a problem.
Thank you for being open.
Came for "state of the channel", got "state of live".
Love your work man, wish you the best of life and creativity.
I'll watch whatever you put out. I went into this video only thinking of you as the guy that made the cool covers, now I feel like I know who you are really and while you may have needed to hit rock bottom to put out this authentic video, maybe everything happens for a reason. I've experienced ego death as well and I don't really talk about it but I know how profound it can be...
Happy to see that you’re back.
Nice to learn more about you after all these years, can’t wait for more content. :)
*_que paso con la chica dueña de este canal???_*
Respect. I wish you a healthy recovery, and much happiness. I am looking forward to seeing what's next.
We love you Ben. Addiction is hard, and you’re not alone. I’m going on 5 months sober this month, and as time passes the thought of alcohol becomes disgusting. Keep your head up, and always remember you’re here for a reason. Much love to you my friend
Hi Ben ❤ beautiful video :-) love from Berlin x
The channel might be on a stand still, but could u cover Tank from Cowboy Bebop??

It takes so much courage to do this man, i hope you get better soon my man
Loved watching your GTA covers and other video game covers. Unfortunately i stopped when you stopped doing covers so its been a while since ive seen a video from you.
nice testimony I just checked out the san andreas theme and I was then lead to this video. Great love for you stay strong
Stay strong man! You are badass! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 💪
God i pray you find the straight and narrow. Your channel was inspiration for me when i was younger. I hope you find the strength to keep going
Hey Ben. I saw a few concerning things making me think you got hacked on your instagram as well as your Twitter, not sure if it is true or not but I’m worried it might be compromised.
Can't wait for your GTA VI Theme song cover!!!
