Thanks, Robert! And for everyone else: Sinix has been a bit of a mentor with the visual side of this project, by critiquing and teaching me whenever I was stuck, and he also helped storyboard some scenes. Check out his channel if you have any interest in visual art, especially learning it. He has one of the most informative art channels on all of RUclips. Plus he plays Street Fighter, which always gets bonus points.
What an absolutely amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am looking forward to the next book. And like Vagus, I have so many questions and theories right now...
That's how you start a magical story with graphic design, narration and music. Immersing in this in a cozy Friday evening while under my blankets. I feel very in touch with Vagus and Priscilla already. Excited for the next chapters 💚
This is amazing, such a huge undertaking but all the time and passion put into it definitely paid off! It was interesting to notice how little I recognized the regular speaking voice of an artists whose songs I’ve listened to near constantly for years. Anywho, amazing work!
I was excited when you first posted about this ambitious project on your site. I knew it would be great, but I could never have imagined something this incredible! I am so excited to see what this project brings.
I can't get over the work you put into this! Very well done. Your music always been so unique, it's helped many through both their darkest and brightest times! Thanks for it all! Be well Ben!
That was beautiful. The story, music, art , and overall vibe was great exceptional. I don't usually give a video 35 minutes of my time, but this one pulled me in within 3'minutes. Im not familiar with your music, but I soon will be. Thank you 🙏
Ben, each of your works is a masterpiece. I've had chills since I started listening to you more than 10 years ago. Tales of magical stories, poems, and music is an ode to nature, to the simple things in life. And with simplicity you reach the heart and make it explode with emotions that I can't express in words. This latest work of yours makes me cry, sometimes with sadness, sometimes with happiness. Perhaps we are all a bit Vagus and you managed to make it materialize with unique and precious details. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for the kind words. And I'm in the middle of producing book two, and there's a part in this one that even made me cry. Apologies in advance. Hahaha.
I can't express how happy I am that this has come together for you in a way that you've found to be more profound than you had thought at its outset. All of us are definitely along for the ride with you - and, while Ellie is off at university (and in midterms) we're hoping she'll log on so we can do a family viewing together (even if it's a virtual gathering) of the debut. Congratulations, and all the best!
I am a Korean fan. I'm glad to be able to heal my heart with your song I hope you continue to work as a person who has listened to your songs for a long time.
Thank you so much for this beautiful story! At first I was just amazed by the quality of this project, but after hearing "Over the Garden Wall", I cried. A lot. This hits too close to home.
I’m beyond floored. Thank you Radical Face, you are amazing. Your work is incredible and has inspired me for years and I know it will continue to for years to come. This was incredible to watch💚
Thank you Ben. Your work has been a wonderful gift. The heart and wonder that has been such a beautiful part of your previous work shone through this amazing first book. I look forward to more. Thank you again.
Wow. I feel like I'll have to watch it over and over to truly get all of it. I love Vagus's questions. I love the style of narration where, sometimes, what comes next is so perfectly set up it's already on your lips before hearing it. I love how haunting the music is at times, foreboding, probably. And I love Priscilla. I'm afraid I too hear the bell, now. I'll have to see this story to its end. Thank you.
I can really see all the heart and hard work put into this project, and I'm loving every bit of it! The artwork is lovely, not to mention the animation, music and everything else. Ben, thank you for always staying true to yourself and being my biggest inspiration. ❤
My teenage daughter and I were sitting at the table, but each working in our own online silos when this went live. I shared it, we both stopped what we were doing and fell into Vagus’ world, pausing only to admire the details of the hollow. Thank your for sharing your talents and for gifting us this meaningful reprieve.
I don’t know what to say, but I think this is the most greatest videos I’ve seen on youtube. My thoughts are everywhere, but not in this world where i’m living. Life is such a unspecific time and sometimes you don’t find the right words to explain your feelings. I have so much thoughts and I don’t know where to go with them. Greetings from Germany, Jannik
Hello Ben! I first cane across your creative work through "Welcome Home", thank you for the song truly; and I've been following you on and off since, posting your artwork. Finally happy to see it has all come to fruition. Cheers!
Hey Ben, I’ve been following you for years but this blew me away. I can’t compare it to anything I’ve seen before and I absolutely love it. The music, the writing, the animation and the thought behind the delivery. Well done. I will 100% for some more escapism in the future.
Your music always kept me company in my early teenage years when I was going through a very rough time. It helped me escape to a world that felt very magical... Now, in my adult life, when times get hard, your music is the first thing I turn to -- and I am so glad that your art hasn't lost a single grain of its magic. I'm so happy to see so many people appreciate "A Light in the Woods", so beautiful that it made me cry multiple times! Sooo looking forward to the next chapters! ❤
I started watching and stopped immediately realising I need complete solitude to drink it. I know you get this a lot, I'll keep it short this time (I mailed you b**** but you didn't repl........just kidding the mail was pretty cringy and you get like thousands of mails everyday) To me your music is not music anymore, it has become a dimension. I don't listen, I only visit. I settle there and find calm. It became the only place where I can lay my head on, I am alive because of this place. I'm glad your music found me and many others. Thanks Ben.
Excellent! I suffer from BPD and goodbyes are hard for me (and I am changing cities in two weeks), so i cried during this. Looking forward to seeing how this continues. Thank you for making this!
You're a gift from God. Truly. I just discovered you a week ago, hearing your angelic voice on a tv series The Blacklist, and had to Shazam you to find out who you were. I found you on Twitter, and begged you to come to Australia, I'd travel from Brisbane to anywhere in Australia to see you. This, though, is something else. Next level. I'm so thankful to have found you. A gift 🙏❤️ And I hope you don't mind, I've told my family should anything ever happen to me I've found my funeral song. Baptisms It's beautiful. You're beautiful
I have never wanted to hear the continuance of a story more than this. Like, I want to know what he finds at the end of the world, what the bell signifies and what it pulls Vegus to... but at the same time, if you never made any "sequel" to this... the story is still perfect. It leaves those kinds of existential questions up to US --and that can be just as powerful as explaining it.
Oh, don't worry. I'm not done. There are five more of these. But there are certainly elements that'll be left up to interpretation. I'm a big fan of those spaces myself.
Thank you Ben!! I have loved Radical Face and Electric President for over 15 years now since I first heard Good Morning, Hypocrite. I love following all of your work.
Jesus christo radical face. I can see how much work and love youve put into it. Very well done heart puncher. I've always loved your work, keep doing things with so much love. We love u Ben❤
(Minor spoiler warning!) Just like little Vagus, I’m not too good with words, so I’ll just say this: this piece is absolutely stunning!! The atmosphere, the characters, the world, the music, the sound design, the lyrics and narration- all of it absolutely blew me away. I am in love with the world you’ve created and cannot wait to see more of it. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible work with us! Beyond grateful ☺️🙌✨
Watching this in a late october evening when it's raining outside, all cuddled up and feeling safe... a miracle to be alive. Thank you ben and all featured artists ❤
Finally, I'm early enough for a radical music . I listened to your music through my exams and I passed for the first time, I don't have a carryover. I love your music so much
Given your storytelling abilities in your songs, this can only be awesome. I always had pictures in my mind when listening to your family tree albums (father hanging in the bedroom, the ghost of brother leaving the bedroom at night, a boy admiring a girl he will never speak to from afar), so I'm really stoked about this new idea. Your music really enriched my life, so I'm happy to see this new project coming alive!
I'm so happy to have finally watched this beautiful piece of art giving it the time and attention it deserves. Such a felt and heart-warming beginning to this project, I can't wait to see more and to listen to these songs on repeat
I can't believe I'm a month late in finding this! Your work has always been the most touching, beautiful, and thought provoking of any artist or musician I know, and this was no exception. The art, music, and story felt perfectly in tune and it felt great to just sit and absorb it all. Listening to the family tree has always been a great comfort to me with it bringing a sense of calm everytime I listen, and I'm so excited for this new project!
I can't wait until this gets made into a movie lol, you are such a storyteller, whether it's music, videos, paintings, the books we didn't get to read, you truly inspire me
i had to work while this was premiering but i watched it as soon as i got home, i couldnt wait any longer. i fell in love with your music and storytelling years ago, and obviously thats wonderful here, im certain this story will make me cry before the end, but absolutely stunned by your gorgeous paintings and the world-building here. beautiful work!
This is such a beautiful work of art, Ben. In musical and visual craft, you always manage to express your self, your truth, in such poetic fashion. You're a true creative spirit.
I love you. I have to write a paper about music and visual art (I choose the theme) and I was struggling to find examples, I just stumbled into this, and it's everything I've ever wanted to do. As someone who deeply loves reading, listening to music and painting, this is... everything.
I watched and listened to this on a train moving slowly along in the dark, early in the morning, completely mesmerised by the story and my eyes tearing up at every song. Everything you make touches my soul. Thank you.
This was beautiful from start to finish: the art, the story, and the music. Your passion for this project shone vividly the entire time. Thank you for sharing this piece of yourself with us!
Incredibly beautiful work, Ben (and team)! ❤ The artwork and animation is done with so much craft, detail and love, I had to pause the video once in a while to marvel at your skill and the scenery it presented. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this with us!
Ben, I hope you know how loved and admired you are by so many people. My dad and I have been listening to your music since I was like five, so you've basically been there my whole life. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression, and whenever I'm having a panic attack, all I have to do is play your music. Thank you so much for everything you do. I've been looking forward to this project for a long time, and it as somehow even better than I expected! You are the most incredibly talented person I know, and I hope to see more from you. Thanks again!
Absolutely love your vision and creativity, thank you for sharing your talents with the world. It's so lovely to see the mix of visual art, music and story telling combined on this short. Can't wait to see more!
I don’t have words other than thank you. I really needed this today. Also it is an honor to hear stories. The Family Tree, Clone, SunnMoonnEclippse. I’m excited for the next book…Thanks again.
I was walking home through the autumn park in the evening and listening this masterpiece all trees, the sun and clouds in the sky represented words and sounds in the story it was amazing... After that I watched this video again and combined my feelings with your drawings... Thanks a lot for your work and for sharing your amazing talent with us 🙏❤😘 Wish you all the best!!!
Watching these kinds of exquisite animated stories always relaxes me at night. A big round of applause and props to Ben Cooper and everyone else involved for the top-notch voice over, the beautiful songs and storyboards, and for the overall masterpiece 💗💘🤌
I can't imagine how much time you and the others guys have dedicated on this project, especially because is a small team but the result is insane! Your music was a big part of my childhood and still keep going, don't stop to do your art, Ben!
It was definitely a lot of hours. Way more than anything I've ever done before. But it's also been super fun, and a lot of hours on something you really enjoy is certainly not a bad thing.
This was an incredible watch. I feel inspired to write my own stories now. You have such a beautiful way with words, drawings and music. Thank you for creating this, I’m really excited to watch the other 5 books!
I won't be able to watch it live because it's 3AM my time, but I'm looking forward to checking it out in the morning! EDIT: It's amazing! Can't wait for Book 2!!
Ben, I really can't express enough how much i relate to your musical narratives on a deep emotional level. Your music verbalizes so much of how i felt growing up (and still feel, ten years after discovering your work) it's honestly astounding. The heart and soul you've poured into this project is apparent in every frame, every note, and every beautifully narrated line. Thank you for sharing, this really blew me away :)
Almost 3 a.m. in Berlin, theres not many artists i would stay awake for so late. You would have deserved all the attention in the world, but I hope you know that the people you reach are moved by you in magical ways. Thank you for sharing all of it!
Was blown away & further inside my own soul at the same time 💫🍃❤️✨ A nourishing masterpiece Ben, just beautiful, thank you & looking forward to more of the universe youve created ❤
Ben! This is beautiful, what a work of art all around. I'm getting vibes of Zelda and Ori and the Blind Forest, while it certainly stands on its own. It's also one of those pieces of art that inspires me to creative., which doesn't come along often. "Over the Garden Wall" has been my favorite so far, "and these routines changed from balms to tiny hells" really resonated a lot with me. Looking forward to seeing how these songs transform with further listens. Thank you, Ben. Glad to have you back with this new endeavour. :)
Just now had the time and energy (life is beign kinda hard at the moment) to watch and listen to this piece. I have been a fan of Radical Face for over 10 years. The lyrics and the storytelling of RF are incredible and so many of your works are so very dear to me. This was very impressive indeed❤️ I love how the art and music worked together, the dream in particular worked amazingly well in this format!😍 And the story is very interesting, I love the fairy tale feel, and again the story telling is just 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Can't wait for more❤️❤️
This is so interesting and beautiful! I love the artwork, story, and music!!! I learned about you through your songs, but I more recently discovered your artwork, and then this wonderful combination of the two was published! Amazing artwork as always, great job.
This is absolutely wonderful. I cannot tell ya how often I got shivers when I heard your voice sing new songs. I even teared up. You have a wonderful way with words. I'm so unbelievably excited to hear more about Vagus.
Really amazing to see this all take form, great work!
Thanks, Robert!

Now that's a crossover I never thought I'd see! Amazing!
Holy **** this is a connection I never would have made but makes so much sense you two have both got immaculate creative vibes!
😮😅😮b😊🎉o

I can't wait to see more, I literally watch or listen to this multiple times a week. It's one of my favorites stories.
Caught my attention from the first. Sweet Beautiful melancholy uplifting story with tranquil melody. Love ❤
What an absolutely amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am looking forward to the next book. And like Vagus, I have so many questions and theories right now...
Beautiful, I shall wait with anticipation for part 2. Thank you.
That's how you start a magical story with graphic design, narration and music. Immersing in this in a cozy Friday evening while under my blankets.
I feel very in touch with Vagus and Priscilla already. Excited for the next chapters 💚
This is amazing, such a huge undertaking but all the time and passion put into it definitely paid off! It was interesting to notice how little I recognized the regular speaking voice of an artists whose songs I’ve listened to near constantly for years. Anywho, amazing work!

I'm amazed. Can't wait for the next part.
I can't get over the work you put into this! Very well done.
Your music always been so unique, it's helped many through both their darkest and brightest times!
Thanks for it all!
Be well Ben!
Stay blessed thank you for your story 🙏!
That was beautiful. The story, music, art , and overall vibe was great exceptional. I don't usually give a video 35 minutes of my time, but this one pulled me in within 3'minutes.
Im not familiar with your music, but I soon will be.
Thank you 🙏
I don't usually click on ads, but this looked cool, and turns out it was. I hope others also find this little gem.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing your creativity and unique light in this world, Ben.
Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us. I can't wait to watch!
I look forward to your video. Needless to say, I share with you that I admire your work very much. My song of life is undoubtedly always gold
Ben, each of your works is a masterpiece. I've had chills since I started listening to you more than 10 years ago.

I can't wait 😊
“Masterpiece” doesn’t even begin to describe this beautiful creation. This grabs my soul and pulls it into a whole new world.
I can't express how happy I am that this has come together for you in a way that you've found to be more profound than you had thought at its outset. All of us are definitely along for the ride with you - and, while Ellie is off at university (and in midterms) we're hoping she'll log on so we can do a family viewing together (even if it's a virtual gathering) of the debut. Congratulations, and all the best!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful work of art with us. I have been so excited for it to come out, and enjoyed every second of book one ❤
I am a Korean fan. I'm glad to be able to heal my heart with your song I hope you continue to work as a person who has listened to your songs for a long time.
This video makes me feel things I never thought I would feel again. Beautifully illustrated, composed and written.
Thank you so much for this beautiful story! At first I was just amazed by the quality of this project, but after hearing "Over the Garden Wall", I cried. A lot. This hits too close to home.
I’m beyond floored. Thank you Radical Face, you are amazing. Your work is incredible and has inspired me for years and I know it will continue to for years to come. This was incredible to watch💚
You and everyone involved are so amazing. Wonderful wonderful work
Speechless for this beautiful creation! Thank you. Just stumbled on this by chance.... But what a blessed chance. Thank you. Loved it in every way. 🙏
Thank you Ben. Your work has been a wonderful gift. The heart and wonder that has been such a beautiful part of your previous work shone through this amazing first book. I look forward to more. Thank you again.
Wow. I feel like I'll have to watch it over and over to truly get all of it. I love Vagus's questions. I love the style of narration where, sometimes, what comes next is so perfectly set up it's already on your lips before hearing it. I love how haunting the music is at times, foreboding, probably. And I love Priscilla.
I'm afraid I too hear the bell, now. I'll have to see this story to its end. Thank you.
I can really see all the heart and hard work put into this project, and I'm loving every bit of it! The artwork is lovely, not to mention the animation, music and everything else. Ben, thank you for always staying true to yourself and being my biggest inspiration. ❤

Uhah b
I don’t know what to say, but I think this is the most greatest videos I’ve seen on youtube.
My thoughts are everywhere, but not in this world where i’m living.
Life is such a unspecific time and sometimes you don’t find the right words to explain your feelings.
I have so much thoughts and I don’t know where to go with them.
Greetings from Germany,

Hello Ben! I first cane across your creative work through "Welcome Home", thank you for the song truly; and I've been following you on and off since, posting your artwork. Finally happy to see it has all come to fruition. Cheers!

I started watching and stopped immediately realising I need complete solitude to drink it.
I know you get this a lot, I'll keep it short this time (I mailed you b**** but you didn't repl........just kidding the mail was pretty cringy and you get like thousands of mails everyday)
To me your music is not music anymore, it has become a dimension. I don't listen, I only visit. I settle there and find calm. It became the only place where I can lay my head on, I am alive because of this place. I'm glad your music found me and many others.
Thanks Ben.
This is unreal. Your imagination and abilities are limitless
Excellent! I suffer from BPD and goodbyes are hard for me (and I am changing cities in two weeks), so i cried during this. Looking forward to seeing how this continues. Thank you for making this!
You're a gift from God. Truly.
I just discovered you a week ago, hearing your angelic voice on a tv series The Blacklist, and had to Shazam you to find out who you were.
I found you on Twitter, and begged you to come to Australia, I'd travel from Brisbane to anywhere in Australia to see you.
This, though, is something else.
Next level.
I'm so thankful to have found you.
A gift 🙏❤️
And I hope you don't mind, I've told my family should anything ever happen to me I've found my funeral song.
Baptisms
It's beautiful.
You're beautiful
2 mins in and im intrigued to hear this story. I can tell its going to be a good one.
Amazing creation. May God bless Radical face to bring more stories ...👌👌
Can't wait for this, your songs are a constant companion in my life :)
I love this story and the art. Such an amazing naration of the story. Music and animation all are beautiful. He sings so well.👍👍🙏🙏

The Great Tree be like "time is personal" and I felt that
My gosh, what an experience! I knew it would be good, but never expected it to be THIS! Thank you so much, Ben!
Precioso video. Sem querer encontrei. Parabéns.❤❤
Jesus christo radical face. I can see how much work and love youve put into it. Very well done heart puncher. I've always loved your work, keep doing things with so much love. We love u Ben❤
(Minor spoiler warning!)

I am in love with the world you’ve created and cannot wait to see more of it. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible work with us! Beyond grateful ☺️🙌✨
This is something else. Phenomenal. I’m so excited for the next five parts and I’ll be tiding myself over with more of this.
Watching this in a late october evening when it's raining outside, all cuddled up and feeling safe... a miracle to be alive. Thank you ben and all featured artists ❤
Finally, I'm early enough for a radical music . I listened to your music through my exams and I passed for the first time, I don't have a carryover. I love your music so much

Precioso vídeo! Achei sem querer. Parabéns.❤❤
That was so beautiful, the music, the art, the story of Vagus, everything is so good, I'm completely in love with everything you built
Thank you so much for this. I'm so happy to be able to experience this!
Just amazing animation story. Marvelous creative talent. Narration is excellent.
I love this! Thank you for creating this! 🥹❤️
You are so talented. ✨❤️🥹
Book 2, please!
I love you. I have to write a paper about music and visual art (I choose the theme) and I was struggling to find examples, I just stumbled into this, and it's everything I've ever wanted to do. As someone who deeply loves reading, listening to music and painting, this is... everything.

I'm sick w/ covid right now. I needed this.
Such a huge fan. Thank you for sharing this story with the world 🌎
What a pleasant surprise! I'm stoked to see it Ben
Thanks a million Ben, this was a wonderful story to start the day with~
This was beautiful from start to finish: the art, the story, and the music. Your passion for this project shone vividly the entire time. Thank you for sharing this piece of yourself with us!
I like how it's calm then it's energetic and kinda creppy
Incredibly beautiful work, Ben (and team)! ❤ The artwork and animation is done with so much craft, detail and love, I had to pause the video once in a while to marvel at your skill and the scenery it presented.
Thank you so much for creating and sharing this with us!
Ben, I hope you know how loved and admired you are by so many people. My dad and I have been listening to your music since I was like five, so you've basically been there my whole life. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression, and whenever I'm having a panic attack, all I have to do is play your music. Thank you so much for everything you do.

Oh, I'm glad it helps. Music and art have always been a huge help on my own stormy-brain days. It's what made me want to make it in the first place.
Absolutely love your vision and creativity, thank you for sharing your talents with the world. It's so lovely to see the mix of visual art, music and story telling combined on this short. Can't wait to see more!
I don’t have words other than thank you. I really needed this today. Also it is an honor to hear stories. The Family Tree, Clone, SunnMoonnEclippse. I’m excited for the next book…Thanks again.

Wow....bro, your on a different level. Can't wait for book two
Really great work.
In some ways it reminds me of the anime Haibane Renmei.
Looking forward to the next book!
I can't imagine how much time you and the others guys have dedicated on this project, especially because is a small team but the result is insane!
Your music was a big part of my childhood and still keep going, don't stop to do your art, Ben!
It was definitely a lot of hours. Way more than anything I've ever done before. But it's also been super fun, and a lot of hours on something you really enjoy is certainly not a bad thing.
Beautiful narration and animation ..hope more stories are going to be released. Fantastic work..
There are 5 more installments in the series. So more are on the way.
Really really wonderful, finally some new music and also a beautiful story❤!
This was an incredible watch. I feel inspired to write my own stories now. You have such a beautiful way with words, drawings and music. Thank you for creating this, I’m really excited to watch the other 5 books!
Now that I'm kinda learning about the story side of your music, I'm really intrigued to see what this is gonna be
Radical Face in Heidelberg, Germany was my first ever concert 2012, you always had a special place in my heart. Im so happy theres new music!
I've been really really excited for this. Your music speaks to my heart, thank you for it
Truly touched, I feel more connected. Thank you, Ben.
I won't be able to watch it live because it's 3AM my time, but I'm looking forward to checking it out in the morning!
EDIT: It's amazing! Can't wait for Book 2!!
Ben, I really can't express enough how much i relate to your musical narratives on a deep emotional level. Your music verbalizes so much of how i felt growing up (and still feel, ten years after discovering your work) it's honestly astounding. The heart and soul you've poured into this project is apparent in every frame, every note, and every beautifully narrated line. Thank you for sharing, this really blew me away :)
Almost 3 a.m. in Berlin, theres not many artists i would stay awake for so late. You would have deserved all the attention in the world, but I hope you know that the people you reach are moved by you in magical ways. Thank you for sharing all of it!
This person knows good music 😊
Oh, wow! Thank you for staying up so late. That's a real compliment.
Oh, I’m also from Berlin! Ben, thank you so much for your great work. I’m watching this masterpiece for the second time now.
and another berliner here ;) its very pinkfloyd-radioheadish... just won over a new fan.
Two favorites of mine, so that's also a nice compliment.
Was blown away & further inside my own soul at the same time 💫🍃❤️✨ A nourishing masterpiece Ben, just beautiful, thank you & looking forward to more of the universe youve created ❤
Wowww. You're always gold. Definitely ❤
Ben! This is beautiful, what a work of art all around. I'm getting vibes of Zelda and Ori and the Blind Forest, while it certainly stands on its own. It's also one of those pieces of art that inspires me to creative., which doesn't come along often.
"Over the Garden Wall" has been my favorite so far, "and these routines changed from balms to tiny hells" really resonated a lot with me. Looking forward to seeing how these songs transform with further listens.
Thank you, Ben. Glad to have you back with this new endeavour. :)
I adore the Ori games! It's always fun when an influence shines through like that.
@@RadicalFaceThey are among my favorite games ever. I especially love the Moki. :)
This is so interesting and incredible😮. Hope you can make your way back to Philly soon
The only channel where I make sure all notifications are on. This is gonna be mindblowing.
I was enamored from the get go but then Over The Garden Wall came and hit me right in the feels and I was sold. An amazing story and work!
Just now had the time and energy (life is beign kinda hard at the moment) to watch and listen to this piece. I have been a fan of Radical Face for over 10 years. The lyrics and the storytelling of RF are incredible and so many of your works are so very dear to me. This was very impressive indeed❤️ I love how the art and music worked together, the dream in particular worked amazingly well in this format!😍 And the story is very interesting, I love the fairy tale feel, and again the story telling is just 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Can't wait for more❤️❤️
I love your music and I love the idea behind this. Can't wait to see it!
This is so interesting and beautiful! I love the artwork, story, and music!!! I learned about you through your songs, but I more recently discovered your artwork, and then this wonderful combination of the two was published! Amazing artwork as always, great job.
This is absolutely wonderful. I cannot tell ya how often I got shivers when I heard your voice sing new songs. I even teared up. You have a wonderful way with words.
I'm so unbelievably excited to hear more about Vagus.
Congratulations Ben, this is incredible.
