I know you won’t see this but thank you. This song makes me feel that my self harm scares can be beautiful and that I can be beautiful with them. When ever I’m sad I listen to this and I don’t want to hurt myself anymore. So thank you for this song it helped me through so much in a short span of time. Your an amazing creator
Emily Ferrell Im so proud of you for reaching out! And for being yourself, it can be especially scary for any given person, but I’m proud of you and the progress you’ve made. You indeed are beautiful, and any scars show your powerful story of survival. You can always be a light to others by just being you, so thank you for sharing
I just lost my grandpa suddenly. I never got to say goodbye to him. His last words to me were "see you later." This song describes what I'm feeling. Thank you so much for creating something that I can relate with.
The last word i said to my granddad was 'thank you.' he died at my house, we still have a picture framed on the wall, i love him with all my heart. I was sitting next to him i love him, with all my heart. He died 5 years ago, i thought he was In hospital for 4 years, i was young and naive. Turns out the day we visted him was the last day he was breathing. My parents never Told me until 2 years ago, and i cried and cried for atleast 7 months.
I kow this sounds messed up, but my grandma died last year, but I didn't feel any kind of emotion. I loved her but I didn't know her vry well and I didn't see her very much. My ca died in January an I cried the whole day. I had her for 7 years and I didn't now my grandma until I was 2 and I stopped seeing her when I was 7, after that I never saw her again because she moved to Virginia, so I only actually saw my grandma for 5 years.
Alec Benjamin My favorite songs : Beautiful pain 1994 I built a friend Now she's getting married The last of her kind Saving Sawyer Our love is like a burning garden Tie my laces Animal Water foutain Paper crown Journey to the lowest place on earth Love is a fragile dance Together we'll fall
I found this song years ago and I never thought I could feel it as deep down in my heart as I'm doing now. 2 months ago my grandma died, I was there at the moment it happened because she said she wanted her three grandchildren to be with her until the end, so I gave her that wish. I was never a good granddaughter, I was struggling with depression since I was 10 so I never really felt like visiting her, I just wanted to be alone. I didn't even know I loved her, to be honest. I know she knew I was depressed, but she didn't deserve that. Now I cry everytime I think of her. I miss her much more than I ever thought I would. I regret with my soul not showing her how much she meant for me. I only got to tell her '' I love you '' once in her life, and it tears me apart that it had to be at the hospital. I miss her, I love her, and even though she wouldn't want me to, I hate myself to death for not being the granddaughter she loved with her heart. Even though no one has probably read till here, I just wanted to rant a little. If you're reading this, love the people you love and show them. You never know when they'll be gone.
This made me cry, I didn't know how much I needed to read this to remember that just because my life isn't perfect I shouldn't shun the rest of the world out. I hope you aren't suffering with the burden of feeling like you let someone down, but I'm sure you didn't. I'm sure you still made her proud, even if she didn't see everything you'd done in your life.
That story was beautiful, it made me cry more than I have in a long time. To be honest I don't suffer from depression, I have social anxiety but that doesn't fit into my story. I don't visit my nan as much as I used to because I get bored sometimes and it makes me seem like a horrible person but after reading your story I now realise its not about what you do, its about who your with and i'm going to make a huge effort to see her more before she passes into a better life. thank you for your inspirational story and i'm very sorry for your loss
@@hayleyxox_2298 i'm really happy you realised that. cherish your loved ones before it's too late, even if you just go to see her and to be with her, it will mean the world to her.
This song is so tragically beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you know the huge impact that your music has on people's lives. You're such an amazing musician and such an inspiration. Thank you.
i think it's really beautiful that you wrote a song about your grandpa...i really loved it!i don't know why there are even people who disliked this!It's a message you wanted to send to your grandpa!I really hope they will understand this...
so glad you revisited this song. I fell in love with It the moment I heard the original. When I first heard the song my grandma was very sick and it felt comforting to know that someone understood how I felt. About a week ago my grandma passed and this song is yet again helping me through. thank you.
I'm sorry for your lost,the 2 year anniversary of my uncle's passing is this month,and then next month 1 day before my uncle it will be the 2 year anniversary of my grandfather's passing
if you gave me only one wish I wouldn’t want to feel this way They told me I’d have your memory But all I want is for you to stay And I can’t stop my mind from haunting me It’s like a scar on a butterfly’s wing I wanted you to know This beautiful pain that I feel Is all because of you And one day these bones will heal And they'll leave me with the truth And i'll give you everything If it’s the last thing that I do This beautiful pain This beautiful pain This Beautiful pain For you If I sailed the world on stormy seas Chasing sunlight that I can’t see I was a dreamer here before Before I woke up and fell to the floor And I’d climb to heaven if I could find you Even with a scar this butterfly flew I wanted you to know And all I’ll ever need And all I’ll ever be Within every part of me Is this, this beautiful pain that I feel Is all because of you And one day these bones will heal And leave me with the truth And ill give you everything If it’s the last thing that I do This beautiful pain This beautiful pain This Beautiful pain For you :)
I know it's a song about your grandfather when he dies But I feel that this song can be about any loss of a person Even if it's a breakup from someone you loved I love you alec. You helped me with my breakup.
I agree this song helps me get over my ex BFF she was really toxic but I was afraid to leave her so I just fell deeper in her web till I snapped and I yelled at her once she yelled at me almost daily and then she left and called me toxic but I had nothing to go to cause I warships her
this reminds me of my father. i never got to realy know him cause he died when i was 2 years old but my mum always told me that his last words where for me he said "papa is going to be ok i love you. see you soon". last year my grandma died in the same day as him. She lived very far away and was found in her outside stairs of her house dead. in her hands there was a picture of me and on the back you could read " my prety Litlle flower" and it just hurt so much cause i dint talk to her in a very long time. and i just love this music cause it reminds me of bouth of them. i love you and thanks for your music because it helps me alot.
“Even with a scar this butterfly flew” 😭 why didn’t I find this song earlier? Why didn’t I find him earlier? Why didn’t I listen to his songs earlier?😞
The good things about songs is that they can be interpreted many different ways. You wrote it about your grandfather, but when I listen there is someone in my mind It's so emotional and your voice is beautiful. I know you'll make it some where Alec. Good luck with your beautiful pain.
When my grandpa was first diagnosed with cancer, he had said 'please don't cry sweetie.' and it was hard not to, but I could hold it back, for him. That week he knew he was going, so his last words to me before I left were 'Goodbye sweet-heart, love you'. I'm so sorry if you lost yours too, grandparents are the best people to you, usually, and you hold them close to your heart, no matter what.
I lost my grandpa one year ago. He loved reading, and so do I. I once stayed at my hometown all summer, and we shared the hobby. He told me when he passed away he would leave me his bookshelf full of books which he really loved. He stayed at my house on a Sunday, and told me and my brother that he would wait until we graduate then he could happily pass away. The next Monday, he asked my dad if he could take my grandpa back to my hometown because he was missing his home. And while my grandpa was staying at my house, his dog died. We were so sad because we had played with his dog since we were kids. But then, all of the sudden, when my dad came back home, that evening, we heard from my grandpa's neighbour that he had a stroke and passed away on Tuesday. I still remember it was October 13th, 2020. It's been a year grandpa, and I miss you so much. I regret that I didn't spend much time talking to you. I miss you and I love you so much.
You killed it. Seeing you twice in Denver was awesome. You are a genuine person playing music and taking the time to talk to everyone in line and you bring something I've never seen before with your stage presence and the things you do on stage like the baby and the watermelon and grape and toilet paper haha I really enjoy your music please keep it up :)
Just lost my grandfather a month ago.. not a day has gone by that I haven’t shed a tear. Thank you for making something to help me and anyone else who lost a loved one heal.
I LOVE YOU7UU UPDATE: 2 years later, wow. I was listening to this song in 2021, that is when I discovered it and absolutely fell in love. I was taken aback, quite shocked after listening to your beautiful words, and I truly felt the energy in your voice.
I first found Alec when he was at 200k subscribers. It’s really nice to see someone grow and change within a few years. He’s so much popular now and I’m so happy for him. He deserves all the love and support. I’ll always be a fan, we love you, Alec.
my grandfather passed away last night, It was too late and i couldn't say goodbye to him, I didn't believe one day i will came back to this song and that it will hit me so hard.
I have only recently been introduced to this legendary voice, on Instagram live of all places. This song has become a personal anthem of mine and is sure to help many people going through things for years to come. I hope this song has helped this boy process his emotions and also everyone of you, like it has me. Everyone have a great night or day and let the love shine through 2017.
I'm so happy I find your music bro it's so real and relatable. I hope both of us find peace and I hope your music reaches heights beyond what you want.
I can relate to this song so much, my grandfather passed away when I was ten and I fell into a deep depression but I started to notice a white butterfly every time I felt like giving up and I have a feeling that it was him telling me to hold on just a little longer
Me and my older sister never really got a long a lot… she died when I was young. I only knew because my parents told me. She hadn’t lived with us for a while. I can’t even remember my last words to her or her last words to me… I miss her though.
I started crying once you sang "If you gave me only one wish". Your loss really showed in your music and it's amazing how well you can show your emotions in a song.
alec please never change you are perfect and whenever im sad i always listen to your music for a while and feel better, i have never realated to an artist more you keep doing you
I've known your work now, I'm impressed by your angelic voice, this song touched me a lot, I'm in a relationship with a boy and sometimes some circumstances make me as sad as I am now, Maybe I should leave him but I love him so much that I'd rather pretend everything's okay. (My english is not very good sorry.)
Honey, please- from someone who has done this- don't pretend everything is alright, it only ends badly. If there is a problem with your relationship, please address it- it can act as something to improve your relationship or make you stronger (or both). Just don't pretend everything's alright- please, I promise it isn't worth it. Either way, I hope you are happy and live a good, fulfilling life. 😊
Alec i have commented before but you are truly amazing and your music is something a lot of people relate to please never stop writing music and singing and never take he dislikes hard on you because there is so many likes on this and i discovered you like a month ago and i'm glad i did. Lots of Love from Chicago
I lost my grandpa and I wanna say I feel your pain and I miss him his last words were “don’t give up..I love u” and to that day I never gave up I’ve been going through things that I can’t explain but I never gave up and I will never now this song is beautiful.❤️
This was my favorite song at 14 now I’m 17 and recently lost my grandfather and I can’t listen to it without it hurting. The lyrics hurt so bad. I miss him so much.
my grandpa just got diagnosed and is sick. i dont really know him well even though ive known him my whole life. ive grown up terrified of regrets and what ifs, and now im terrified he'll go before i can really know him. terrified it will be my fault i wasted all the time before now. prayers would be appreciated.
I freaking love this guy all of his song have depth rather than the monotonous song that plague the radio he actually holds a sense of reality within his songs that can truly be somehting worth listening
This makes me so sad. My hamster died 2 years ago. He was my only friend. And when he died I cried for so long. I’m crying right now every time I think of him I cry because he listened to me and I could talk to him all the time
September 1st I lost my grandpa who I was very very close to. It was very sudden. I went to my friend's house and when I woke up my mom has called my friends mom and when my friends mom was crying I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what. Until my friends mom said my mom was on the phone and needed to talk to me. That's how I found out. and it has been very hard not having him here. This song is perfect in the way it describes the feeling and the emotion. Thank you.
Friend - what kind of music do you like Me - (shows her this song ) Friend - omg his music is Soo slow listen to the more popular artist. Me - Me- Me - Police - and she just fell out the window.
Beautiful pain. I have used the name 'tears of joy for all this pain' since I was like 16. Just thought it was cool that I found your music and the words 'beautiful pain' kind of fits my out look on a lot of things. I can not wait to hear more of your music. So happy I know you exist, lol.
my heart breaks just listening to this song. You can truly feel the pain that you felt at the time that you wrote this song and even now, as you sing it years later. This is really a masterpiece. I hope that other people find such solace in your music as I do. Have a wonderful day, Alec.
i like this one so much.. Alec's voice sounds much closer to me, it's like he's singing this right beside me and i really love it. I'm feeling the pain and still think it's beautiful.
Love that it's a live recording, it makes the sound more hollow and echo really well. It makes it easier to connect with, more real. I've had this on repeat all day
This song reminds me of a book called "My Grandmother Asked me to tell you She's Sorry" It was about a granddaughter who lost her Grandmother. The most precious friend she ever had. This song was *GREAT* Such a charming voice.
ill be honest, I don't relate to your music, but I really love it, I am in a really good place right now, yet I listen to about 25 depressing songs by you each day. Edit: Well it was only a matter of time til I started relating to this...

Man, it’s been 4 years and I can only hope you’re doing good now :)
Are you doing good?
if you gave me only one wish
I wouldn’t want to feel this way
They told me I’d have your memory
But all I want is for you to stay
And I can’t stop my mind from haunting me
It’s like a scar on a butterfly’s wing
I wanted you to know
This beautiful pain that I feel
Is all because of you
And one day these bones will heal
And they'll leave me with the truth
And i'll give you everything
If it’s the last thing that I do
This beautiful pain
This beautiful pain
This Beautiful pain
For you
If I sailed the world on stormy seas
Chasing sunlight that I can’t see
I was a dreamer here before
Before I woke up and fell to the floor
And I’d climb to heaven if I could find you
Even with a scar this butterfly flew
I wanted you to know
And all I’ll ever need
And all I’ll ever be
Within every part of me
Is this, this beautiful pain that I feel
Is all because of you
And one day these bones will heal
And leave me with the truth
And ill give you everything
If it’s the last thing that I do
This beautiful pain
This beautiful pain
This Beautiful pain
For you

Dear Alec,
is it wrong if i blame you for me crying every night because of your songs and voice?
cause i love it and i love you.

Yeah
I know it's a song about your grandfather when he dies
But I feel that this song can be about any loss of a person
Even if it's a breakup from someone you loved
I love you alec.
You helped me with my breakup.
I agree this song helps me get over my ex BFF she was really toxic but I was afraid to leave her so I just fell deeper in her web till I snapped and I yelled at her once she yelled at me almost daily and then she left and called me toxic but I had nothing to go to cause I warships her
Same. It's hard to move on. I'm still hurting, but I'll never forget my ex. I'm happy for him.
Your grandpa loves you & he's proud of you :)
this reminds me of my father. i never got to realy know him cause he died when i was 2 years old but my mum always told me that his last words where for me he said "papa is going to be ok i love you. see you soon".
last year my grandma died in the same day as him. She lived very far away and was found in her outside stairs of her house dead. in her hands there was a picture of me and on the back you could read " my prety Litlle flower" and it just hurt so much cause i dint talk to her in a very long time.
and i just love this music cause it reminds me of bouth of them. i love you and thanks for your music because it helps me alot.

Alec Benjamin Thank you for responding, I sure hope to see you live, hopefully before you become big and even more famous. Have a nice day!
I'm so happy I find your music bro it's so real and relatable. I hope both of us find peace and I hope your music reaches heights beyond what you want.

I can relate to this song so much, my grandfather passed away when I was ten and I fell into a deep depression but I started to notice a white butterfly every time I felt like giving up and I have a feeling that it was him telling me to hold on just a little longer
I love your song they're full of real feelings
Donutellacorn that is true
my grandpa just passed away and this is the first song that i looked for to listen
Me and my older sister never really got a long a lot… she died when I was young. I only knew because my parents told me. She hadn’t lived with us for a while. I can’t even remember my last words to her or her last words to me… I miss her though.
iam crying of these sad coments :[
I started crying once you sang "If you gave me only one wish". Your loss really showed in your music and it's amazing how well you can show your emotions in a song.
bro i wish his songs got more recognition
He's famous now lol
alec please never change you are perfect and whenever im sad i always listen to your music for a while and feel better, i have never realated to an artist more you keep doing you
Oh my god I just listened to this song for the first time and I started crying because it reminds me of the toxic friendship I’m trapped in
Thank you for writing this. I didn’t know how to say what I feel since I just recently lost my grandpa. Thank you. I owe you. Thank you
I'm just waiting to hear your music on the radio one day. Love you Alec!😄💜
this reminds me of my godfather...he passed when I was little.... I love you and ur songs.
I've known your work now, I'm impressed by your angelic voice, this song touched me a lot, I'm in a relationship with a boy and sometimes some circumstances make me as sad as I am now, Maybe I should leave him but I love him so much that I'd rather pretend everything's okay.
(My english is not very good sorry.)
Honey, please- from someone who has done this- don't pretend everything is alright, it only ends badly. If there is a problem with your relationship, please address it- it can act as something to improve your relationship or make you stronger (or both). Just don't pretend everything's alright- please, I promise it isn't worth it. Either way, I hope you are happy and live a good, fulfilling life. 😊
Alec i have commented before but you are truly amazing and your music is something a lot of people relate to please never stop writing music and singing and never take he dislikes hard on you because there is so many likes on this and i discovered you like a month ago and i'm glad i did. Lots of Love from Chicago
I always loved this song but now it means something real to me I'm in tears now.
I lost my grandpa and I wanna say I feel your pain and I miss him his last words were “don’t give up..I love u” and to that day I never gave up I’ve been going through things that I can’t explain but I never gave up and I will never now this song is beautiful.❤️
This was my favorite song at 14 now I’m 17 and recently lost my grandfather and I can’t listen to it without it hurting. The lyrics hurt so bad. I miss him so much.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You’ll get through this though, try to have a good day and keep your head up, man.
@@dicon912 thank you so much
so so so so beautiful. love the way that you revisited this. the progress you have made is so apparent
my grandpa just got diagnosed and is sick. i dont really know him well even though ive known him my whole life. ive grown up terrified of regrets and what ifs, and now im terrified he'll go before i can really know him. terrified it will be my fault i wasted all the time before now. prayers would be appreciated.
I freaking love this guy all of his song have depth rather than the monotonous song that plague the radio he actually holds a sense of reality within his songs that can truly be somehting worth listening
This makes me so sad. My hamster died 2 years ago. He was my only friend. And when he died I cried for so long. I’m crying right now every time I think of him I cry because he listened to me and I could talk to him all the time
I'm hitting the replay button now! hahahaha
*WHY AREN'T YOU BIG YET!?*
Alec Benjamin
YOU'RE ALREADY BIG IN MY EYES AND SOOOO MANY OTHERS!
I'm still asking that 3 years later >:(
This will always be one of my favourites
I love your music so much. It's so beautiful and calm. Just listening to your music helps me get through tough times.
i lost my grandpa almost a year ago now... this song is beautiful. thank you.
September 1st I lost my grandpa who I was very very close to. It was very sudden. I went to my friend's house and when I woke up my mom has called my friends mom and when my friends mom was crying I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what. Until my friends mom said my mom was on the phone and needed to talk to me. That's how I found out. and it has been very hard not having him here. This song is perfect in the way it describes the feeling and the emotion. Thank you.
Dude you have the best voice, it's so unique and wonderful
i love how raw yet so beautiful it is
I fell in love with this song..
I keep listening to this and I can't even explain how beautiful this song is. The words say all the right things about losing someone.
Friend - what kind of music do you like
Me - (shows her this song )
Friend - omg his music is Soo slow listen to the more popular artist.
Me -
Me-
Me -
Police - and she just fell out the window.
I’m not like other girls 😂
EXCUSE ME BOY IN A BUBBLE
Me: and this chick fell outta a window ;p i was there and witnessed it °♡°
Amen
Must have been the wind 😂
Bro!! I remember listening to this on that radio show!! Ugh. So good.
Your so heart felt in every song you make :) ! I can really feel the emotion in your voice... I LOVE it! Your soooooooooo TALENTED!
My boyfriend broke up with me, and this song describes what im feeling right now.
Thank you for taking the time to make this song.
I'm still bawling my eyes out 3 years later.
He deserves SO MUCH more recognization!! He has AMAZING talent. It's very rare when you find a unique voice like his.
Beautiful pain. I have used the name 'tears of joy for all this pain' since I was like 16. Just thought it was cool that I found your music and the words 'beautiful pain' kind of fits my out look on a lot of things. I can not wait to hear more of your music. So happy I know you exist, lol.
my heart breaks just listening to this song. You can truly feel the pain that you felt at the time that you wrote this song and even now, as you sing it years later. This is really a masterpiece. I hope that other people find such solace in your music as I do.
Have a wonderful day, Alec.
this song, your voice. it's all so beautiful ❤
Alec Benjamin you're welcome
i like this one so much.. Alec's voice sounds much closer to me, it's like he's singing this right beside me and i really love it. I'm feeling the pain and still think it's beautiful.
I have been listing to only this song for more than 48 hours literally, and i still wanna listen to it more
I showed my friend your music and she loved it so much. You have the best music I've heard in a while.
Ilysm💝
Your old songs should be on Spotify!
This is BEAUTIFUL !!!!!
Holy damn, sir you just gave me feelings only certain musicians have been able to
Love that it's a live recording, it makes the sound more hollow and echo really well. It makes it easier to connect with,
more real. I've had this on repeat all day
Omg I had a horrible day today and this made me feel so much better thanks Alec :3
Alec Benjamin Oh thanks :)
I can't tell you how much I love your music. The best part of my day is listening to your songs on repeat.
tis is amazing no joke i even told all my friends about you
no problem
This song reminds me of a book called "My Grandmother Asked me to tell you She's Sorry" It was about a granddaughter who lost her Grandmother. The most precious friend she ever had. This song was *GREAT* Such a charming voice.
ill be honest, I don't relate to your music, but I really love it, I am in a really good place right now, yet I listen to about 25 depressing songs by you each day.
Edit: Well it was only a matter of time til I started relating to this...
Same pretty much my whole playlist is depressing (mostly Alec's music) but I don't relate just really enjoy listening
To this day still one of my favourite song♥️
You have an amazing voice
