I did it because I love Alec. k bye 2020 update bc I feel like it: Thanks for 2k. Yes Alec did reply to me, he used to reply to people a lot, they have all since been deleted (but I think I have ss on ig). Since this comment, he followed me on ig and twitter, I have gone to his concert and met him in person. It was great. 2020 can't relate to that greatness. Stay safe, wear your masks.
alec is literally so underrated. i cant say it enough. his music is genuinely so heart touching and so many people can relate to it deeply and all his songs are beautifully put together. i cant wait until he blows up the internet and gets the attention he deserves. everytime i listen to his songs, they all hit me right in my heart, it’s just so powerful. god bless you, alec.
he stans Eminem what'd ya expect?? look at his lyrics and other jams of pop songs. he is way too deep for fortnite kids' head..LOL sorry if you are one dude. safe day to ya
"I cried because I knew I had been saved" This line meant so much to me, especially with something that happened to me recently. Soon after I first heard this song, someone said "we can save you at any time", and that combined with already having been obsessed with this song meant an incredible amount.
Seeing "I Built A Friend" almost hitting 1 million views makes me happy as shit for you dude. Been saying it for months now, and stand behind my words. THE BEST SONG WRITER/SINGER I'VE HEARD in my short 19 years. Much love, along with continuing love. You're the man
this comment/reply proves how much hes grown. Now over half of his videos have over 1 mil views, he has 2.3 mil subscribers, and I was so happy to see all of it.
You're just such an amazing artist. I honestly wish that I lived in America so I could come to one of your concerts. Your songs just aren't carbon copies of other average pop songs. They are original and so unique. It really makes them beautiful. Thanks for making my day better with this 💓
this really hit hard. i suffer from depression, anxiety, and who knows what else and literally hid it for years until i just flat-out told someone. they still couldn't tell and explaining why i had to miss events and get-togethers was really hard. you are my absolute favorite artist. you tell stories that are beautifully woven and stylish while still being relatable and comforting. i'm sending lots of love and support through the screen, alec :).
it's been eight months since i wrote this comment and let me say i still love your music and i'm doing a lot better! songs are amazing and i know you don't know that i exist, but i'm grateful you make music 😊.

This is exactly how I describe depression to people. You fall in and hit the bottom, and even though you only just fell in you have to climb your way out. You can’t even see your hand an inch from your face and your expected to climb your way out. It’s a lot harder to fucking climb than fall. -it’s the hardest thing I’ve done in my life
I was about to sleep... then I saw this. Now I'm crying😭 And there I was thinking all I needed was sleep. No, I needed to hear Alec Benjamin's voice as well😂 *side note* why does this video only have 8K views so far? You're one of the most underrated artist and you deserve so much more recognition💙
Alec Benjamin Oh my gosh, I'm dying (not really, just asthma😂) This is the second time you've replied and also on your instagram live I requested you to sing The Water Fountain and you did. And there I was thinking today was really boring. Thank you, you just made my day💙
this song helped me a lot when I was rock bottom. it was a hard time for me and this song came directly to my heart, knowing that there's someone like me out there is really assuring u know? I played it when i couldnt deal with my loneliness, when I was stuck in my head when i needed comfort about things i didn want others to know so this song is really special to me. I'm so sooo happy that your music is getting recognized by people all around the world and I always truly wish the best for u. you aint no me but i know u and ill be there for u like your music did for me. ur amazing and i hope u know it. ur probably not gonna see this though cause its a old demo but i just wanted to say thanks. good things are gonna happen to u, luv and support is always here
I got chills listening to this music you need to get this to the top chart, you deserve everything you get coming your way. I began crying, because you feel normal feelings, mean while top chart singers just give what the fans want but you, come from the heart!
I have memorized this entire song. and water fountain. and paper crown. and 1994. and out running karma. and end of the summer. and worst day of my life . and wolf and the sheep. and gabrial. preety much all of them........................................................ I-I have a problem..............................
This is song so underrated, but its one of my favourite because I relate to it so much. Also I love almost every single one of Alec's songs even the old one, from the beginning to now I love all of them.
Yay I'm so proud of you Alec you have such a raw amazing talent and honestly you make me so happy. I can relate to this song more than I would like, hopefully soon I'll be able to say that I've been to the lowest place on Earth and I no longer have to say that I'm in the lowest place on Earth. Ok no more soppyness I love you stay strong 💞💞💞💞💐💐💐💐 -Rose
I really wish he would put this on Spotify 😭 so many playlists I would put this in. One of my absolute favorites. So many of his songs should be there. Gabriel's another favorite. And how it feel to be replaced. Heck, all of them. So good. 😭
Wow. I have been listening to your songs since early 2019 and they are the only good thing about 2020. This is one of my favourites and it deserves way more than 20K likes! Hope you one day get the recognition you deserve :))
Alec's songs are like battery to me. When I'm tired of life and lethargic, I use to hear his songs without fail. Then I get to live with hope again thanks Alec
this song literally made me cry. it just, ive been at that lowest place and all of these lyrics hit so hard. i dont know, i guess its just hearing somebody who i look up to talk about how they overcame something im still struggling with. i just... i don't know. im gonna listen again though.
It's so strange how long I've been a fan of you, Alec. And still, to this day you're producing such amazing artwork that I can listen too on repeat for hours without getting sick of them. Thank you, never stop producing music.
I just lost my mom this passed week and this song has a whole new feel to it and it made me cry so hard because I know she would want me to see the "sun at the end of the tunnel" and it just hit different
THE ALBUM IS COMING MAY 29TH !!! pre order here : alecbenjamin.lnk.to/TheseTwoWindowsID
Alec Benjamin OMG ITS SO COOL THAT UR ALL THE WAY HERE
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
c:
I have the album now at first it wouldn't work but it does. Love it😆
We love this please dont change it to "unrelease"
Here are the lyrics:
I took a journey to the lowest place on Earth
Got a shovel and I dug into the dirt
Put and apple and some water in my backpack
Well I don't know if I will ever take it back track
Black's the only color I could see
Then my hand just disappeared in front of me
And when I finally hit a piece of solid stone
Began to wonder if I'll ever make it home
This might be the lowest place on Earth
Gone too deep, but for what it's worth
I have been to the bottom
I've drilled through the rock
And I know how it feels to just fall from the top
Might be the lowest place on Earth
I kept on digging until it turned into a climb
That's when I knew that I had reached the other side
My biceps turned into a solid rock
I found my rhythm and I knew I couldn't stop
When the light began to leak into the cave
I cried because I knew I had been saved
This might be the lowest place on Earth
Gone too deep, but for what it's worth
I have been to the bottom
I've drilled through the rock
And I know how it feels to just fall from the top
Might be the lowest place on Earth
Digging and digging till I see the sun
I dig the hole that I must overcome
Climbing and climbing till I make it out
Pulling my body onto solid ground
Might be the lowest place on Earth
Gone too deep, but for what it's worth
I have been to the bottom
I've drilled through the rock
And I know how it feels to free fall from the top
Might be the lowest place on Earth
Please like this because I did it on my Mobile phone which actually turned out to be a lot of f*cking work and took like 30-45 min of copy/paste and the overuse of the replay button to get everything right and not lose my progress. I did it because I love Alec. k bye

[Verse 1]
I took a journey to the lowest place on Earth
