GIVE HIM THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES
he needs to sing with billie.
nothing else needs to be said. just that.
I have and I have an idea of a song title: Broken.
@@daqueenaannastal2202 wow, original
Jesus, we all go through the edgy faze
Beautiful.
With Billie and Conan
Me: trying to overcome my broken relationship
Alec: “I think in some way you’ll never stop caring about this person”
Oof
Yeah... He is right. But isn't that with everyone we care about? It never gets easier.
It's weird because we use the exact same neural pathways to bond with partners that bond us with caregivers in early life. That's why there's so much fear and pain when those relationships end. Our brain is back in a time when we needed that love to quite literally survive. We feel like a little kid again and the people we really fall for become our safety. Our guides, the "light of our lives". To us it genuinely feels like we'll die without them.
@@daylightbright7675 Sad yet so very true - well said Megs
He is so adorable when he smiles and laughs😭💕
Ikr and he has such a nice attitude 😢💜
Really want to know the meaning behind “death of a hero” rn
Who doesn't
We all do
Didn't you watch him say in the Zach Sang show interview? It's about someone he looked up to doing drugs and things he didn't like. He also said that he saw a book or something titled "death of a..." so he asked himself "what.. do I know that died?"
He's talking about himself in the song.
Im pretty sure its about someone he looked up to that fell to drugs n stuff like that
0:23 how I wave to my friends
P. S. I love u Alec
Same
0:23 how i wave to my friends too oh i have none
That's how I wave to someone I don't want to talk to😂😂😂
That wave.. I have never seen that wave before.... Only on the movies
Autotune who?
irrelevant
autotune has left the chat
CAN'T RELATE
*Autotune has left the chat*
I don’t where is she
The Chainsmokers:Don't let me down
AlecBenjamin:Let Me down slowly
Let me down down 2x~dont let don't 3x
new hope club - let me down slow
liam payne - slow

Don’t compare our baby to that trash
if we go down then we go down together
And only one of them can sing btw
alec is a precious bubble of love and we need to protect him at all costs

*congunctiveituse*
It doesn't feel like he wanted to do it
I think it was a twitch x
This made me giggle a little
Does anyone else get goose bumps with the way he says “corridor”
No....,just me?

You ain't alone 🥺🧡
I DO TOO
i’ve been here since the beginning & this all feels so surreal.. i’m so proud

suzie sassy nailz bcs he has a song called 1994

Puberty was literally the nicest to him, I’m jealous 😂
I love that he had a guitar and sung the lyrics
He will BLOWS UP ASF in the middle of 2019. Prove me
I really hope he does. LMDS played on radio 1 and I was HYPED. But it was the one with alyssa(I think) and then I was like... oh
Isobella Piacentini I like the original (without alessia) :/
I think he did . It's July now
he hasn't BLOWN UP yettt but he's getting closeeeee (((:

He's so flipping adorable
Plz do one on NF
Facts
OMG YESSS YESSSSS
FalseEZES underrated comment
YESSSSS
Oooh yes
He honestly reminded me of Billie when he said:
"yow if you're gonna leave, just like...be cool about it...please"
Yes finally he’s amazing
ALEEEEEEEEC!
Yes! Finally!
Alec is my favourite singer now and will always be ✨. The reasons are
1)He is a humble and a hard working person.
2)His voice is innocent.
3)His music is great, pleasant to hear and always with different good messages for the audience around the world.
4) Unlike other singers he doesn't chase for fame and money.
5) He's clean with no piercing and tattoos.
6)He is underated, he deserves more love and support.
aww i’m so happy he’s finally getting noticed. he truly deserves this ♡ ♡
that my favorite friend zone song
The ultimate collab: billie eilish, alec benjamin, conan gray and cavetown 🤯
_yes_
y e s
Yhes
He so cute💫😩
Kris Unknown mad pause lmao
C1OUT COBAIN no pause
Kris knows what’s up
Anonymous Artist he is cute he seems hella adorable and sweet😍🙌🏽
I thought it was a female singer when I first heard it on the radio, but now I'm finally matching the face to the voice and it all makes sense 😭😂
What the hell do you mean like that!!!!!
RayRay And Angie well he does have a high voice that kinda sounds like a girl sometimes. Doesnt mean its a bad thing
@@rhysee_arts that wasn't us who said that
@@rhysee_arts nevermind sry
OMG SAMEEE i thought i was the only one 😂
I know he has a lot of views in some songs but he still is underappreciated. He should be globally famous. He voice is so damn good.
I’ve become obsessed with him lately! He’s the only thing I listen to anymore!!
UGHHH I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS GUY RECENTLY. MORE BY HIM!!!
Him and billie need to *collab* 😌😌💙🖤
IKR!!!
OOOO THAT'S MY BOY ❤
OMG I SCREAMED ALECCCCC!!!!!!!
he should collab with billie
Dolly yaassssssss
ALEC, CONAN, & BILLIE NEED TO COLLAB ASAPPPPP😭😍😍😍
Him and Conan would be be good tho
HES LITERALLY THE CUTEST THING EVER OMG MY HEART!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤧😘🥰😘
"If your gonna leave, just be cool about it, please cause I'm fragile" honestly me to
He's amazing,... When I first heard him I thought he was 15
Literally, there’s no other singer I love more to listen to than Alec. Like it’s insane. I love his music and his thought process and everything. I have yet to find a singer that matches him
2:06 I can’t stop replaying this
Auto tune: I can make any one sound good
Alec: hold my beer
That part where he said, “when someone just leaves you like that, and they cut you off, no explanation, it can really drive a person crazy”.......that is me right now😔
i remember "i built a friend" man, and now he's huge
He's a keeper y'all
Him talking and singing....
The voice difference is astronomical!!
That wink at 2:36 and yes I'm here, again. Idk how can someone let him feel like this, he's such this fragile person ,the kind of guy who will like - ask you - did I hurt you ? I'm sorry during s*x -_- lol - great now I wish we're couple wkwkwkwkwk!
Finally he's getting known he deserves it more than ( people in Ariana Grandes genre)
don’t try degrade other people’s achievements just to make alec seem better that’s not helping anyone x
Ariana’s genre is...pop? Meaning popular? There’s a reason they’re popular. Don’t degrade others to make him seem better even though he deserves more recognition.
Facts
A humble person wouldnt say this, they are both good and Ariana deserves the attention she has
Maria no one said that she doesn’t deserve the attention she has. Maybe she does. But Alec may deserve it more🤷🏻♀️ and a humble person would appreciate that people can have opinions
You can tell he's such a deep, sweet, genuine soul❤
I love this song so much cause it's spot on with the feels and the meaning 😭
Please boy in the bubble
I have NEVER fangirled someone this Hard
Alec, my boiiiiii! GET IT!
I remember finding him thanks to nightcore a long time ago, wow
As a man who has seen more relationships come and fade than sunrises and sunsets in my life I can truly say your songs just hit a chord in my heart that I can’t really describe or express I just feel it
