Ben Rector - It Would Be You (Lyric Video)

- This song was inspired, written and recorded in quarantine. I wrote it with Jordy Searcy sending voice memos back and forth the day after I flew home from the 'Old Friends Acoustic Tour' being cancelled. A couple weeks ago I decided to record it. John Fields and I recorded the parts at our houses and sent files back and forth until it was finished. Aaron Sterling added just the right amount of spice. Justin Kila brought the best John Hughes movie poster that never existed to life and Eric Michael Savage took the picture of me that ended up on the cover. I hope listening to it brings you as much joy as making it brought me.
Lyrics:
If there was anyone I'd want to spend about 100 days with,
layin' in the yard, staring up at stars wondering where all the planes went...
It would be you.
Only you.
We might not have forever.
No time for taking chances.
It would be you,
and always you.
And when the lights go out, we'll just keep on dancing in the dark.
'Cause if the world has got to end, you might as well just end up in my arms.
In my arms.
(ooh ooh)
We'll leave on the news until the broadcast stops broadcastin'.
Just making drinks instead of plans, while the record player's blastin'.
(I sing) It would be you,
and only you.
We might not have forever.
No time for taking chances.
It would be you,
and always you.
And when the lights go out, we'll just keep on dancing in the dark.
'Cause if the world has got to end, you might as well just end up in my arms.
If the sky turns black, if the markets crash,
you should check your mom's house, then you should come back.
'Cause when it all goes down, I want you by my side.
We could stay up 'til the last sunrise.
We could stay up until the last sunrise.
It would be you,
and only you.
We might not have forever.
No time for taking chances.
It would be you,
and always you.
And when the lights go out, we can keep on dancing in the dark.
In the dark.
In the dark.
It would be you 'til the end of the world.
'Til the end of the world. (Yeah)
'Cause if the world has got to end, you might as well just end up...
in my arms.

I wish more people get to know Ben Rector... He's so underrated
Because his songs comes just for special people like us. The word doesn't deserve him! But us do!
Brasil presente aqui?!Que bom!!!🙌😎💞💞🙌
Soo true
True
Agree!!!
I'm gonna tell my kids this was my coronavirus quarantine theme song
I am sitting here in 2023…my family broke up over the quarantine. This song, however, was a moment of connection. Listening now brings some sadness for that loss…but also happiness from the memory that we were connected in this moment to all of you. I have never felt so close to my fellow man, ironically. Love you all and do still love this song
@@readingchallenge2396 so sorry to hear about your family. I felt that connection to our human family as well.
This guy could make a song about eating your vegetables and it would still make me emotional. what the heck
😂😂😂😂so. True
😂 He could sing the ingredients to a soup can.
frrr
I've lost track of how many times I've played this.
I know right
Same here!
same
This is a nasty groove 😵👌🏽
Little did I know back in April that Ben Rector would be the last concert I'd go to in a long time.
Heck of a last concert mate!
That's amazing.
Same!! But in March. March 7th in Idaho!
He's never mad a bad or just meh or oke song is in his life.
Every song is just a straight banger or the most beautiful song you've ever heard
Yeah! This one is definitely a banger! Totally agree! Love his music
But his songs are great in different ways. Somes are great dance songs, some are super catchy, and some strike that nostalgia-string. But ive never heard a song and thought, "that was okay."
this gives me “Loving You is Easy” vibes and I love it
Gives me Magic album vibes.
Loving You Is Easy vibes, mixed in with "Kids" (MPSL Version) rhythm/sus chord vibes!
Ben Archer yessss
In what dimension does this song remind of you of Loving You is Easy?
I think Erin and Ben just mentioned this on HGTVs fixer upper 📺 show "Home Town". 🙂 Pretty cool ! 🤘😎👍
Girlfriend broke up with me because her parents weren’t cool with us. She introduced me to this song. Can’t help but cry every time i listen to it. Gonna use it to get her back.
Full
support!
update?
How was it?
That is a serious bop. Got me dancing at my desk today.
Spotify reccomended this to me. Ive probably listened to it 30 times today. Its too good. Its fun. Its romantic. Its just damn fine music. Thank you Ben Rector.
same
heck yessss
Just saw Ben Rector in Fort Worth, TX. He was awesome. Had not heard this song before. It was fire! Come back to TX, Ben - we'll be there.
Best song. He’s so underrated
I know right!! Nobody listens to him these days!! Its good music!
True! He’s so talented
Planning to use this on my wedding someday, dancing with my husband hehe
The 80’s vibes in this song just made me even sadder that I was born in the wrong era.
It might sound strange... but this song open m eyes to the joy of living with my family. I have listened to it on a loop for days now. Thanks, Ben. That's also the name of our third child!
I actually cried when I first heard this because it's been so long since I've listened to Ben and this song is absolute gold.
Words cannot describe how good this song is. You know like whenever you hear a song and you're just like "this is a GOOD SONG." That's this
Literally the cutest Covid19 quarantine anthem ever. Thank you Ben!
this song has something special, i don’t know what it is but man it hits me
Fantastic chorus. The bass playing is filthy.
Ben Rector writes the best love songs!
Love love love. How I feel about my recently wedded husband. Got married on April 25th while the world was ending. 💕💜
the most hip hoppin song I love it so much
He always brings out amazing's songs
Serious Steve Winwood, higher love vibes all the way
Wow, found this masterpiece a few days ago and can't stop hearing it!
Love it! Of course I do. . . I seriously love every single one of Ben's songs! I agree with the others - he's so underrated, but I am such a huge fan. His music makes me so happy! His songs are nostalgic and fun and sweet . . . . all the feels! My absolute favorite :-)
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!
love it, one of my favorite artists ever, if not the favorite
Can you teach us the steps to that epic dance?
Ben is unbelievably inspiring for me; he's one of the main reasons I started making music and i genuinely hope to be in the same conversations as him one day. So much love and respect for this guy.
I’ve played this song an unhealthy amount of times. Thanks Ben 😎
2020 jams, you can really make anything sound dreamy.
The vocals, the instrumentation, the editing, and the worn out record sleeve texture all just mesh so well! Awesome video!
I dont know why but it seems to me that Ben has the most genuine voice in the industry, like he really sings for real. Every word he sings seems so natural. I've been following Ben's songs for the last 3 years, and my love for his work and voice just keeps on growing.
wanna send this song to the highlight of my youth. he’s too far, miles away.
and i just mentioned his name.
OMG!! I can't wait for the rest of the album!
This came up on my Spotify "Missed" playlist. I've had it on repeat since!! Such a tune!! Really getting into your stuff Ben. Keep it up!!!
Same
no one gets my spirits up like ben rector
You’re a fantastic artist and one of my fave musician singer songwriters. You have a gift of composing unique arrangements/chord structures. I’ve truly enjoyed your solo performances on Instagram doing cover songs for COVID-19 times. With this new single, shall we expect a new album soon? One of my absolute fave songs of yours is THE MEN THAT DRIVE ME PLACES.
I first heard this song 2 years ago on a road-trip to Arizona. I instantly fell in love with it😁 This past weekend I got engaged to my boyfriend and I’m thinking of singing it to him on our wedding day!!!!!! I absolutely love this song🥰🥰
Underrated
This song!!!! Love it so, so much. Keep making music that speaks to our soul.
I found your songs during my dentist appointment. I asked him who the artist is and he wrote it for me on a piece of paper. Has got to be the funniest way to be introduced to new music. Never know where you may find it 😁
This is fantastic anyone got any more songs with classic synth vibes like this
OK, "Brand New" is no longer my favorite song. This is so good. THANK YOU!
Great start! Now give us a whole album!!! Love hearing new music from you!!!
It would be youuu ❤️
I wish you can see this Ben. Your songs helped me moved on. Thank you.
The dancing figure is in “quarantine mood “😂. BTW great song. 🙏🏻❤️
i love how so many artists are coming out with amaaaaaaaazing songs.
this song is right. u might as well just end up in my arms. all day huhu
-your blqck
This song caught my attention while having lunch with my girlfriend. So I look for it. I love the song. This will be my song for her ❤
So glad I woke up to this song today
Absolutely slaps. More of his studio stuff needs to be this
This song is wayyyyyyyy to good!
This song makes me soo happy!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG! I totally that it was from a late 80's early 90's movie.
Ben Rector! My husband and I are in love with this song
This is one of my new favorite songs
Ben Rector é um excelente artista. E deve ser cada vez mais ouvido e conhecido. Alguém do Brasil em 2020? Esta música foi feita na quarentena.
This song is so underrated! But man, it's so good!!!
Literally just found this song and I’m in love!!! 🥰🤩❤️🔥❤️
this reminds me of happy memories
Okay, I'm hooked. I'm a K-5 music teacher. A 2nd grade student recorded a music clip of your Thanksgiving Song and posted on our virtual platform. How have I never heard of you? and now this song> come on man I am musically devouring your music. John Hughes throwback? Dang, awesome, thank you!
Adorable...I like it
So good!!! The lyrical bliss you give to us is wonderful, Ben! Thanks for bringing our spirits up when we need it the most!
Are there any songs that sound just like this? This is so groovy
The chorus is just * chef's kiss*.
Ben Rector is so talented! A lot people are missing out on this guy! Basically all of his songs are clean and have a great message, and this one is no different. Really good stuff!
This deserves so many more views, I hope the world finds it.
Man!! I miss home😢
Like always, I'm amazed!
I get down to this like I do a good Carl Buford dig.
Love dancing to 😍
I don't know how many times I've played this either on Spotify or YT haha!
He wrote this is song in like an hour it seems. Amazing.
just so you know, this video/song brought me great joy. thank you... now time to play, 'Forever Like That' on repeat... until the next sunrise comes.
I heard the first time and HONESTLY FELL INLOVE WITH IT 🥺
This type of music is so good!
This is a BANGER
As much as I love this song I can’t deny the HUGE similarity to Love Theory by Kirk Franklin. Maybe we’ll get a mashup one day.
Thanks, Ben! As always you have magically transformed the stuff of everyday life into something beautiful and inspirational which helps bring sunshine into our lives no matter if we are in the middle of celebration or pain. You are the best!
One more touching song.
Love it! This might be the nicest quarantine anthem I have heard, its just full of positive energy and as always all your song is just so lovely that I need a bigger speaker to spread it among my neighborhood!
Thank you for this beautiful song Ben
This is exactly what I needed this morning❤️
oh to be in love and listen to ben rector ♡

What the heck. This is awesome. Digging the 80s vibes.
One of my new favorite songs!!!!!!!!!! Love the lyrics and just the overall vibe! Thank you!!
I'm excited to hear a new single from you and it's beautiful. 😊
I adore this
Love. Love. Love.

Wow, I love this!!! I'm always amazed when my friends haven't heard about Ben Rector, he's _so_ good!
Yes! Thanks Ben!!

This came up on a discover weekly for spotify, and i was like "this sounds oddly apocalyptic"
After reading the description, I know why.
