This week we have a very exciting guest join us in the diner, it's Alec Benjamin! You probably know him from his hit songs "Let Me Down Slowly" and "Water Fountain" that have amassed over two BILLION streams combined from those two songs alone. He talks to us about what got him into making music, what almost took him out from his music career, and gives us a look into who he is as a person behind his angelic vocal cords and beautiful song writing. He's funny, philosophical, and one of the most genuine people we've had sit on the couch.
He also has a new single coming out December 8th called "I Sent My Therapist to Therapy" so be on the look out for that, and if you haven't already check out his most recent release, "Different Kind of Beautiful," available everywhere now!
We hope you enjoy!

Wooo! You were in my Top 5 Spotify wrapped 2 years in a row! 🤟🏽
Your amazing
I love you💜
Hi Alec!
Wait are u actually quitting?
I’m so glad Alec is on this podcast 😭 he’s a great musician
Agreed, he's amazing!
Not just a great, the GREATEST!
I never thought we would get this collab but this is amazing
there’s no way! I was literally ranting to somebody yesterday about how much I love alec. he was my #1 artist listened to this year!!!!!
SURPRISE we heard your rant!!
same!!😊
My favourite Alec lyric is “even with a scar this butterfly flew.” I loved this interview. It’s always so wonderful to hear Alec’s opinions and thoughts on topics outside of his music. Thank you for sharing this :)
which song ?
@@pujitamishra873
beautiful pain :)
I love that one
1:17:59 my favorite lyrics from one of alec's songs is:
"no fight is worth fighting. no fight is worth dying. but all love is worth fighting for." - love is a fragile dance
I love that one
Wouldn't that make it a contraditory statement? No fight is worth fighting yet fighting for love is? Kinda makes the "no fight is worth fighting" a pointless thing to say.
@@bruno4499 I think its more that the love itself isn't (or shouldn't be) a fight but you should fight to get it
@@bruno4499 Pretty sure the fight for love and actual fighting are two different things.
@@bruno4499 maybe try listening to the whole song
My top favorite guest ❤ he was so open and honest about his own challenges and was great at flowing so easily with Zach’s jokes 😊 his music is great also 😊
Please don't quit, you're my favorite music artist
HELP MY WORLDS ARE COLLIDING. DROPOUTS AND SAD MUSIC
the way im screaming and crying. i was just relistening to alecs discography and wondering where he disappeared. he is so talented. please never stop doing this alec
I love their dynamic in this episode, hands down one of the best guests
my favourite alec benjamin lyric is "I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight, when high school wasn't easy she's the reason I survived" cause my brother one time said he can relate and that pulled at my heart
You need to bring him back now that Tara is on! 🖤
always liked Alex’s music, he’s a poet; but never knew he was such a great personality. So genuine, sweet, polite, he really shined in front of the camera-captivating, really.
"I feel like my self-worth is wrapped up in the utility I provide the world, and I don't know if the purpose of life is for me to be happy" (paraphrasing). I don't think I've ever heard a sentiment expressed on a podcast that more deeply vibes with my perspective and view of myself. I really didn't expect Dropouts to be hitting at my deep philosophical and emotional self-reflections. =O
Alec dominated my 2019/2020 Spotify wrapped
Congrats guys, definitely one of my favorite episodes, petition to have Alec back when he gets nominated for a Grammy
i love how in this video it just seems like friends catching up. alec is so nice and theyre all just so sweet and funny. i have been binging dropouts for the past like 3 days its the only thing i watch.
This is so cool. I've literally listened to Alec since the very beginning and now seeing how big he's gotten is so great!
Favorite lyric: the world's not perfect but it's not that bad
I’ve never really heard him talk. He sounds so sweet, so stop. I love him so much.❤ 1:05
This is by far my FAVORITE episode of the Dropouts!!! I’ve been a big fan of Alec’s for years so it was great seeing him like this on one of my fav podcasts!!!!!
This episode was great, I love Alec. Also I rewatch most episodes, more than just once 😳
I'm so excited for all the wonderful songs to come 😊
Love this guy
OMG my worlds colliding
I didnt realize he did let me down slowly so i paused this video like 20 min in and listened to devil doesn't bargain and seriously thought, i wonder if this was about the record label 😂
Stop it bc my jaw literally DROPPED TO THE FLOOR when I got the notification ALEC BENJAMIN was on the pod!! Love y’all 🤭
My favorite lyric is “i let you in i held you close my blood flows like a river cause i trusted you the most and now i know its over”
Knife in my back, wonderful song ❤
This beautiful pain that I feel is all because of you. One day these bones will heal and they’ll leave me with the truth
I can honestly say this is not a collab I ever thought would happen. But I’m happy to be here.
I’m in the top .01 percent of his listeners, I’m pretty sure my whole family has heard EVERYone of his songs. My favorite is I’m not a cynic
You only get that which you’re given, it’s not always up to you
Not every Sunday is a picnic cause the sky ain’t always blue
You can’t just change the weather by changing your point of view
Some days you have to wait until the storm just passes through
I was in the top 0.05% of listeners on spotify because about half of my listening to him is on youtube music. his demos aren't on spotify but I absolutely love them.
@@pi3.14etcsame I was in his top 0.005% but I listen to his demos a lot because they’re so good.
My Favorite lyric is “Our love is like a burning garden”
One of my favourite lyrics: and I will fall with you
Been waiting for this!! So glad he could be on the podcast! My 1# artist this year💪
They all bounce off each other so much but I love this podcast so much 😭❤
“The kinda that makes me fear, that kind that makes me turn around and act like I’m not here!” - Alec Benjamin 😊
Love this guy Alec's song let me down slowly helped me thru my 1st heart break
He has such a golden retriver energy 😂💙💙
My favorite lyric is "I still want to make you love me, make you love me again
Even though my intuition tells me that it's the end
That in these conditions tryna bring back the flame is like
Tryna light a match in the rain"
ughh so GOOD!
Same
It’s my favorite song from him
Hilarious as always! And my favorite is “The worlds not perfect, but it’s not that bad” From the song If we have each other
This was a precious episode
Alec I love yours songs. I hope you come to Brazil soon!!!!
I love Alec’s music I’ve listen since I was 9 (I’m now 14) I was first introduced by if we have each other, and I still love his music!
I am still the person that listen to sad love music. any ways love you Dropouts
My favorite lyric:
So, if I, had the chance, I would ask for one last dance, even though we’re not together all love her forever, even when I’m buried
That's definitely one of his older ones but I can't think of the name
@@mentalchild360 it’s called now she’s getting married
@@laniwilks ahhh that classic
Pretty sure it's "even when I'm buried"
@@justabrowser4744 that’s what I meant
I will definitely come back to this !! 💝
Omg this is so exciting my 4 favorite people!!
He is the most positive person eveeer
This is the weirdest collabI have ever seen but I’m pretty sure I’m going to love it 😂😂❤
I can’t wait for the new song. It sounds awesome!
Favorite guest ever. Omg I gasped when I saw his name on this! ❤️
loved this episode
What a humble and nice guy
“That in these conditions tryin’ to bring back the flame is like trying to light a match in the rain.” Don’t ask me why cause I can’t say but genuinely Alec is probably my favorite modern day English music artist so… It’s hard to pick one specific lyric when so much of what he sings resonates with me. Thank you for having him on I loved it.
I luv him
plssss plsss plsss have him on again i didn’t know i needed this trio
I love you Alec you're my no.1
Your music is all I need
The way my jaw dropped when I saw Alec! I love him and I love your chemistry!!
ALEC!!! OMGGGG
My favorite lyric is "Tryin to steal and to borrow to live for tomorrow, maybe it's not the end of the world"
Mainly bc the chorus is too catchy.
Also I watched the entire video but I don't think Alec ever talked about quitting music.
What song?
Everyone in their live should have person like Alek!
"I envy the sun you catch the rays, envy the love that you embrace" genuinely the whole song but especially this part
Alec is so amazing he was my top artist on Spotify and I love it he’s such a great musician! My favorite lyrics has to be “Aim my boombox at the roof I'm playing lean on me just so that she knows that she can lean on me and when she hears the words I hope she knows she'll be okay” from must’ve been the wind
Therapist to therapy is a pretty good song
Had no idea who this guy was, went and listened to a few songs and now I'm in love haha
The best Alec lyric is “Life is short and love is sweet so love until you’re dead.”
Hey, I watched till the end, my favourite Song by Alec is I sent my therapist to therapy and my fav part is the end of the song🤭
Loved your podcast!! Bring Merrell Twins please 🥺❤️
"You've been standing on your own for far too long, never found the phase to just move on "
Awww Alec!!!❤❤❤❤
I just did an estimate of the math, and 60*180 is about 10000 mins, so they probably have just listened to every single episode.
i love alec. hes awesome.
need more alec episodes
He was such a good guest
How does this one have so little views Alec is the man
didn't feel like an hour long at all , probably the easiest watch i've had so far , thanks guyss !!
Sweet ropes. My kids love those ❤
“We finally have a musician on for the first time” Nezza watching this 👀
i am in love with his music i have many favourite lyrics like
"Don't forget
This story's not over yet
Time passed like a cigarette
Turning into smoke between our fingers" - Speakers
and
"Guess my childhood is over
One day I'll be buying posters for my kids
Just like my parents did for me, it's never over
They'll grow up and soon enough
They'll wish that time would just move slower" - Older
and also
"So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived" - If We Have Each Other
I LOCE ALEC THIS IS AMAZING
i love alec soso much
Hi favorite podcast
Wow how cool is this Alec guy
I love Jared he's the main reason i watch the podcast
GOD BLESS
oh my god. i love him.
This was like two of my worlds colliding
i just love alec he is the reason im alive
i love alec smm
Hes so humble its cute ❤
Ou Zach is board game guy? Nice! I don´t know this we have common
Ong I love him!! His music got me through at one point
I can vouch for the peanut butter and pancake syrup. It equates to a Butterfinger bar. It's shocking. Try it.
Peanut Butter Waffles is superior you hoodlum
My favourite Alec lyric is “And I know you think
He'll change this time
But I think that you will find”
🎶 Coz you know I’ll be there for you.
My mind is a prison and I’m never gonna get out.
… just a picture of your face 🎶
"One wrong turn can burn things to the ground"
I love Alec
Funny to see Alec talking a bit about dating apps.
I went to see him live once and it was amazing. Little did I know, a friend of a friend matched him and got to backstage on the same night. Lmao. She didn't know his music until then though.
I love him
“Never had a musician” what about akamrstealyogirl 😪
