One of my favorite Bible passages talks about how we can share the comfort that God give us during difficult times with others we meet who are suffering too (2 Cor 1). I see that basic principle here in your video: Taking a struggle and sharing the good you found during it to encourage others.
So, thanks for sharing this. Glad you're healing and praying for a full recovery.
Props to you Spencer for taking something negative and turning it into a positive.
Great song Spencer and thank you for sharing this traumatic experience. God bless you.
Thank you so much!
My wife is a painter, and all the powerful emotions in her life make for the most powerful paintings. Life is full of the good and the bad, and you made something beautiful by having a healthy outlet for the bad!
Great song. When I developed Bell’s Palsy it was absolutely terrifying, though luckily in my case it resolved in a month or so. God bless.
Hey Spencer. Thanks for these videos. I hope you get the response you deserve soon. Keep up the amazing work!
Will do! Thank you so much for watching, I've got some great stuff coming down the pike. I couldn't be more excited!
I had that a few years ago, my doctor put me on cortisone and 1 other pill, I forget what for 3 or 4 weeks and in 6 weeks it was completely gone, I had it bad too. It was hard to eat, always biting the lip, the bad part is you can still feel the pain of the bite, just no control! I love your music!
God bless you, Spencer.
I often wonder how people with visible maladies feel about other people noticing them. Many of us have had awful pimples, cold sores etc but they are often temporary. I believe the attention we get from others is largely innocent with our brains naturally curious about the differences they see between people. I hope that folks out there who suffer from physical conditions and are concerned about their appearance realise that most people (I can't speak for others but I can hope) have no sense of fear or disgust and are only curious or attempting to do right in the circumstances (e.g. when someone has only 1 working eye, it might take me a moment to figure out which one to look at when I talk to them).
Also, my dad had Bell's palsy too! You'll be fine Spencer! Everything that happens shapes who you are and I'm glad that you've shared this.
I thank God for you, very inspiring
Spencer, you rock. Thank you!
That's a very beautiful song. I admire your resiliance to what life threw at you
Loved the chorus section & your vocal solo scatting bit. Man I could really feel the raw emotion with ya singing these words. My auntie Annie got bells palsey as a kid & it returned again in her late 50's. She's in her 70s now & seem OK again. Her face dropped & effected one of her eyes on that one side. Glad your ok again man to keep creating
This song, and your experience has just changed my life.
Thank you!
Im glad its much much improved and the song is an excellent piece of music. I lost my son to the big C when he was 6 years old, the worst day of my life. he would be 33 years old now. I was bitter for a long time but I pushed through it. I left my job as an engineer and studied and re trained as a nurse. Over the last 26 years I have helped a lot of people some who have been through scenarios like mine. I retired at Christmas. I have 2 healthy bright teenage daughters a great wife and I'm still making music and playing guitar(49+) years. You can get through anything you just have to stop whatever it is consuming you.
wishing everyone here good health and happiness.
Thank you so much for sharing and I'm glad to hear you were able to overcome!
Very Beatle esque song in the best of ways. And yes - bad times makes for some of the best pieces of art. When you have a creative soul your art is one of the best ways to handle and come to terms with what is or has happened. In my personal experience at least ;-).
Awesome song Spencer!! Thank you for sharing your challenging experience 😌
You've got a really good voice with a great range, looking forward to hear more originals....
I appreciate the kind words! More originals are coming, I pretty much have one in each video!
Hitting me right in the feels man. You absolutely nailed this!!
Great song and very inspiring video. In late 2019 I fell into a deep depression and was on sick leave for 3 months. I came back to work in early March of 2020, yep, can't make that stuff up lol. I enjoy the positive vibes in your videos, keep up the good work sir.
Oh, that's such a big life event. Great video and storytelling - even in really tough times.
Great song too with so many textures and lyrics that are deep and yet you finding humour through hardship too.
Wow! I loved what you said that we as artists should do. I'll work on it. You're my inspiration man!
And you saying I'm inspiring you is inspiring me, it's a circle of inspo!
Almost had me in tears, loved the song! Thanks for sharing your experience :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Brilliant!!!! It clearly didn't affect your vocal range. Just awesome!
Music is the great healer
There's no doubt about it. It can make you feel so many things. I often wonder if animals get any type of feeling from music. I mean, how could they not?!
Just discovered your channel.... You're honesty is very touching and musical skills and openness are reaching to me. You got another sub and inspired comrade, SBS!
Glad to hear it and thank you so much for subscribing!
What a great song, I guess that is the whole point of music, expressing something, telling a story, or just for casual entertainment. I like to look at music like I do with games (which I also consider a form of art), you have the competitive and casual games which don't necessarily tell a story (not always a bad thing), they're usually like a stress reliever, like CSGO, Valorant, etc. And there's the games that tell a story, like Hotline Miami, Undertale, and many others. Anyways, I think the really cool thing about art is that everyone experiences it differently. This song was really good, and the lyrics carry such weight. I may not be the man with a broken face, but it still hits hard.
Great song, and thanks for sharing the story! Man, 2019 sucked. My year began with my then wife and I splitting up which eventually resulted in divorce. It was a hard reset for me that I wasn't anticipating, but through it all I shifted my focus heavily into my music to get me through.
Around the time I had just discovered bands like Nightwish and Delain and went way down the symphonic metal rabbit hole which gave me so much inspiration during that difficult time and resulted in some of the best songs I'd written to date. I'm definitely thankful I had the ability to channel everything into something creative during that time.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I too am glad you had something creative to channel your feelings into. It's the ultimate healer. 2019 was rough, and I never would've guessed what was coming in 2020.
Inspirational ❤
That is a REALLY good song. And I'm glad your face got better!
Thank you so much!
Great message and great song!
Thank you!!
respect++

Congrats for the courage.
you rock!
Your legend bro. 💪🏼
Good job!
Super good song!
I appreciate that, Alex!
Awesome song!
Thanks!!
Great song man- remember when you first posted this a little while back. Really enjoy it!
Thanks dude!
Wow. You’re amazing, dude.
I had Bell's Palsy when I was 18 and I had only heard of it from Jim Ross. Drinking anything sucked because it would run out of the side of my mouth
I remember I had to change my entire drinking technique. What a bizarre condition. I had to put it all on one side. It's gnarly!
@@songsbyspencer the doctor had a fun test where I had to close my lips tight and try to fill my cheeks with air so they blow up like a balloon. My balloon was leaking 😂😂
You are a very brave men..☺️..
I hope you have learned much from the past
Every experience is a learning experience
This is some wholesome shit perusal Spencer, that would really be difficult to deal, I am curious how in the hell this kind of things happens.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, these things are just random it seems. Someone I went to school with woke up with similar symptoms, went to the hospital and found out he had an inoperable brain tumor. He passed away less than a year later. It's scary, ya just gotta keep on keepin' on.
@@songsbyspencer what! I mean with what you're saying it makes sense, having a tumor in the brain can most definitely cause something like partial paralysis, or any number of random or disruptive side effects. But man... I'm sorry to hear that. Did you also get a CT scan and make sure you don't have nothing funny going on up there? I mean I guess if your symptoms lessened then you got your answer, but sheesh... Oddy enough a young girl from my town (mid 20s) recently passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm. So you do in fact have to keep keepin' on because life is so finite.
This happened to my sister about 40 years ago. She ended up making a full recovery, but it took over a year. I seem to remember the doctors saying it takes so long because the sheath that some nerves run through has to completely die and regrow. I also worked with a guy who had it too. In time he too made a full recovery with the exception of the eyelid. He had to manually blink it with his finger periodically. I'm sorry this happened to you. You made a wonderful song out of this experience. Your attitude is spot on. Unfortunately for me, I don't have such a good attitude but I continually work on improving it. It helps having good examples such as yourself to serve as inspiration. Otherwise I think I would give up trying. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Robert! Your support inspires me to keep going and to keep making videos. It really does, man.
Sounds exactly like Ben folds I love it
Love your stuff dude. Thanks for sharing a hard time and how you overcame it
Edit… this is song is already stuck in my head good work
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support!!
Great vid and song as always!
Thank you!
You're very talented songwriter. And yes, good art comes only from the heart, when you give yourself in it. Keep on do it! Liked and subscribed.
Thank you so much for the support, and will do!

Great you recovered.
I've been going through a lot.

You always inspire mr I play everyday but still not writing and recording again...not yet.
Great song I'm a big Beatles fan I know about thirty tracks.
You have great command of chords and a hi level natural melodic sensibility.
Thank you so much for the well wishes and support! Keep on jamming, I'd love to hear some of your music.
@@songsbyspencer Ill get you some hopefully...soon.
You inspire me I'm playing well.
Its just taking a while after the various events that caused the ptsd.
Ill play soon its lunch time in Australia.
I look forward to your next Composition Spencer.
Great video. Too bad Spencer would never lower himself to actually respond to a comment on this channel.
Bruh
You'd be amazed at the levels I would lower myself too! For real though, if you commented before and I didn't respond, I apologize. I try to get on here every few days to respond to the comments as much as I can. The kind words and support means so much!
@@songsbyspencer Thanks Spencer. It means a lot :)
I’ve written more songs about brokenheartedness 💔 … …
It's the best thing to write about in my opinion! I can't write as good of songs when I'm happy.
