this video simultaneously cleared my skin, did my homework, made my parents proud, brought my grades up, and gave me 20 bucks
CRYING AT THIS COMMENT OH MY LORD
We all know how he warmed up for this....
*mischievously clears throat*
POOR
GUY'S
HEAD
IS
SPINNING
Randa Foote If he did not, I would be EXTREMELY disappointed.
Poor guy's never gonna live that down. XD
AHAHHAAHH YEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!! I love that video!
Hannah Keeler Ah what video?!
Look up Newsies back stage rituals on youtube. I think it's that one
Can we talk about how effortless his riffs are?
PianoDisneygal10 I think about that probably every day...
Can we talk about how effortless everything about his voice is? It's beautiful
Julianna Miller no, because it makes me wanna cry, why can't I do this?!!!
PianoDisneygal10 for real he was made to sing
I probably sound like a dying cat trying to match his riffs lol
Prince Eric for a live action Little Mermaid? I think YES!
yES PLEASE
YES
I actually agree with this
R.I.P
Or Derek Klena
HOW HE JUST SLAYS THOSE RIFFS AND THEN JUST AWKWARDLY SMIRKS LIKE HE DIDNT JUST GIVE EVERY SINGLE BROADWAY PERFORMER DOUBTS OF THEIR MUSICAL ABILITY
This gorgeous man and his gorgeous voice have completely ruined my standards for men.
Yo same
basically yeah
I have never related to a comment more....
divergent-ravenclaw-revolutionary-half_blood-on_fire I don't think anyone could have said it better!!!
All these Broadway men have ruined my standards for men. They're all so perfect, but especially Ben. Like, oh my G-d.
Ben Fankhauser could literally riff you in half
I haven’t heard anything truer
I want him to.
I’m dying to know which member of Rumpleteaser made this comment
that lil dismissive hand wave at 4:06 when he says 'oh, i'm no explorer' MY SMOL BOY TOO PRECIOUS
LIKE, SERIOUSLY OH MY G-D
All these people are talking about how hot the shirt grabbing is just before that, but I'm like, "No, my dude, the cute bit after that. He's adorable."
okokok Barrett Wilbert Weed, Ben Fankhauser, and Ben Platt cannot be put in a musical together or I will literally die because they will kill me with their vocals. But secretly I want them to be together.
With Jeremy Jordan
@Millie Lach + the newsies as the dancers?
Jojo just freakin yes
Dear Mean Newsies?
@@olliecoates4723 SIDJKGHISRGE OMG YES.
"One more time" I tell myself as I hit the replay button for the 14th time at 2:30 in the morning
Don't fight it. I put this song on its own RUclips playlist and have had it set on replay for 8 days straight now.
JustBeingMary SAME
if this ain't me
never seen anything more relatable
1am
A lot of y'all are talking about the part where he grabs his shirt and does that really, really beautiful part--and that's really hot and all--but I really like the part right after that where he gets all cute and a little awkward and tries to go back to the way it was a few minutes ago.
Kayla M Cook where is this song from
Genesis Perez, I've no idea. I think it could be a stand-alone. If it isn't, it isn't from a show Ben's been in.
Kayla M Cook thanks
@@genesisperez2641 it's from a small musical called Run Far Away; they have a RUclips channel but it only has 4 songs up. Hope that helps!
i just rewatched that bit and the little part where he puts his hand up like “awww stop”... he’s such a pure man
SING AS A DISNEY PRINCE
I liked this comment like a week ago and then just saw it again and forgot I'd already liked it so I tried to like it again and got super upset that I couldn't because THAT IS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS IDEA.
YES
YES YES PLEASE
YESSSS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
WHEN HE GRABBED HIS SHIRT HOLY GUACAMOLE 👌👌👌👏👏👏💞💞💞💞😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💕💕💕💝💕💝💕💝💝
Why is this not on iTunes? Because I'd buy it in a heartbeat... several times over.
If Ben wanted my wig so badly he could have just asked for it instead of snatching it like that
AHA THIS
Why doesn't this have more likes????
AHHAHSJD
I seriously want to hear him singing as JD in Heathers. He would do the riff at the end of Freeze Your Brain such wonders. ❤❤❤
Rory Worthington FREEZE YOUR BRAAAAIIIIIIIN
it would be like 3 mins long I need itttt
SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN PLEASE OMG
When he grabs his shirt >>>
I'm unhealthily obsessed with this beautiful man ugh
Aren't most of us?
+Lauren Sutter yes. Yes we are
same lmao
3 years after, same feeling
That's me with Jeremy Jordan
Oh, I'm no explorer
My vision's not great.
I get tired when I run for too long.
I still wake up groggy and go to bed late.
And I guess it's been true all along.
That of all the world's secrets
Both this world and yours.
From the depths of the sea
To the eagle who soars.
Beyond all the crap that us little guys face, each day.
Past monsters and prophecies
Shouldn'ts and shoulds
Past mayors and nights
Getting lost in the woods.
I know it's not much
I'm to young to unearth how it goes
But Whether the sun burns our skin
Or a west-ward breeze blows
Of all the worlds secrets and mysteries
From here to the tiniest star
The greatest one, is the simplest one
By Far
To kiss a girl and hold her hand
No monster in the land can understand
When you kiss a girl
And just like that
The stars you're staring at start to disband
Then they form a path
And if you follow them blindly
That's where you'll find she's gone.
So kiss the girl and hold her hand
And travel on.
Sometimes I think
When days grow lame
And each night ends the same in this ghost town
Men feel far to weak
To make it through
But boy there's work to do, so hunker down
Then we'll form a pact
And with bravado and soul
Ease up on the holy snare
She's just a girl and you the hand
To take her there.
Cowards by the dozens fly in spirals and they're fast
Running like they're cowards from the future toward the past
Never have I ever seen such cowards stand to last
But who cares? Who really cares?
When you kiss a Girl
Ah
Oh, I'm no explorer
My vision's not great
I get tired when I run for too long
To kiss a girl and hold her hand
No monster in the land can understand when
You kiss a girl and just like that
The starts you're staring at start to disband
Then they form a path
And if you follow them blindly
That's where you'll find she's gone
So kiss the girl and hold her hand
And Travel on
Ooooooooon
I can't quite work his riffs into lyrics haha.
TbirdSwimming GOD BLESS YOU HUMAN
THANK YOU
You said "You _kill_ a girl..." at te last paragraph O-O
Kip Girl Fixed! Thanks.
TbirdSwimming thank you for this
He has pure raw talent, you can't really find that these days.
I have so many things to say
1. RIFF GOD BEN AT IT AGAIN!
2. IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS BOY
3. IF THIS SONG AIN'T ME..
4. I hope he warmed up with "Look it up THE POOR GUY'S HEAD IS SPINNING"
5. HIS RIFFS ARE EFFORTLESS SOMEBODY HELP ME IM DYING YEET
Emily Elizabeth S A M E
late comment but stan georgenotfound
Mewing Manda yes 😋
Benoncé
YOU HAVE SUCH GOOD TASTE !! dream team & BEN FANKHAUSER? bless your soul
I half expected this to be a Little Mermaid ballad version of Kiss The Girl! But instead I get this beautiful ballad from this gorgeous boy with an even more gorgeous voice! I LOVE THIS!
There goes Benonce
I know what you mean by this but there's definitely two ways to read that
@@olliecoates4723 it has to be Benoncé
If you are wondering why there are way less likes than views it is because I alone have watched this video 805,000 times
I've been coming back to this video for six years and it still makes me choke up every single time. It's truly otherworldly
TEARS ARE ACTUALLY IN MY EYES FROM ALL THIS BEAUTY
K Corona same omg
I thought it was just me
This is the first time I've heard this, and my *literally* started crying...I'm so weird, I know. But I'm not an easy crier, so that is a feat in itself!! His voice literally reduced me to tears
yes, i'm still here. good gracious hIS VOICE
Riffs of the gods. Out of this world. Has Natalie Weiss heard this?!
Madeleine Tierney OMG They need to collaborate THE KING AND QUEEN OF RIFFS♡♡♡
she *needs* to get him on breaking down the riffs
Ben just had his show at 54 Below and Natalie sang a few songs with him!! Someone better post the videos!!
Voice smooth like a smile that spreads like butter at 3:46
Bianca Grava the kind that turns a lady's head
Bianca Grava his voice is like that from 0:01 to 5:14
@@merrickbaskie7941 It takes am orpahn with a studda'!
GraiShawn Landry who’s also blind
Mute and dead
I think I've listened to this song more times in the past week than I have any other song in my entire life
Thank you, Benoncé, for singing like an angel, being utterly perfect at riffing, and ruining my expectations for boys/men
This song is my oasis.
And tra-a-aa-vel onnnn... I love Ben so much :)
Petition for Ben to play Orpheus when Reeve Carney leaves.
PLEASE
YES ABSOLUTELT
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL
this literally made me forget where i was
If they ever make a revival for Tuck Everlasting he could play Miles.
And he and Andrew share a dressing room just so he can once again taunt Andrew with "The poor guy's head is spinning!)
+Lara Cromwell yh that was funny he put the headphones on😂😂😂
I NEED TO HEAR HIM SING TIME HOLY CRAP PLEASE
THIS NEEDS TO BE A THING (but Ben and Andrew need to stay in it too) and then of course him and Andrew should share a dressing room, leaving Ben Tyler Cook and Michael Wartella together (cause why not) but they might as well share from the amount of time they spend in each other's rooms 😄
YESSSSS
Disregarding my immense love for Ben Fankhauser, this music and it’s execution has given me a feeling that I didn’t know music could provide. I can genuinely feel the excitement and innocence from my own teenage love and when he begins the belt at 3:02 I can feel every ounce of emotion from not only him but myself. It’s one of the only songs that gives me a vivid picture of my own memory and he is one of the only singers who can deliver a song that seems to open the heart completely
I love it when he clutches his shirt when he sings "When you kiss a girl"
I'm reading the comments and I haven't got 2:30 yet so now I'm excited and scared and emotional yo
Anyone else watching this in 2020?
Fankhauser is amazing but I can't get past how fucking musical theater these lyrics are
Cameron Chang lol that's true
IF I COULD RIFF LIKE THAT I WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO
Can someone please ask Ben to sing at my funeral? It's the least he can do after he killed me with his beautiful voice.
Emily Adams too risky. He’d have to sing at everyone else’s funeral after he kills everyone there too. Then he’d start an unstoppable chain of mass unintentional manslaughter
@@jonathanstewart2462 true, true
He is so underrated he has the voice of an angel
I have watched this WAYYYYYYY too much!!!!!!!
3:46 *Becomes emoji with heart eyes * *Falls in love * *Dies *
Did you tap into my brain before typing this? XD
songsfromtheheart37 Should
Wow, Ben!! His agility is out of this world, and great tone and control! Amazing!
not to be dramatic but i would die for him
no man will ever live up to my expectations now thanks ben
He did that first riff, got me off my couching screaming.
ok.....But can I have my heart back now or...
ok so during 3:43-4:03 i go into cardiac arrest
Y'all are gonna have to call me an ambulance istg
its concerning if that doesnt happen to you during that time stamp-
I come back to this video like 10 times a year
His riffs make me weak in the knees
I'm not crying you're crying
ur right
Elliot A like, same
You are very right
You're right. you'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
You right... You right....
Ben is superb. Can listen to him for ages. Love his "Great, Cool," by Joey Contreras with Blake Daniel.
he has so much control wthhh he was riffing so easily and it didn't sound forced at all he made them all sound so easy
He makes it look so effortless, he's amazing
I have listened to this at least 20 times every week. Oh boy, what would I give just to have a voice like him.
I know this video is 6 years ago and I am too late to notice this, but I just realized the caption is auto generated and his words are on point. His voice and his words are totally crystal clear. Just wow
“from here to the tiniest star” the transition into head voice on “star” makes me know I’m alive
fr no one else mentioned this and i felt that too bro
I’m still coming back to this video years later
Ben Fankhauser is literally perfect.
3:43 - 4:01 That's when I fell in love with him a million times
Trueeeee
A cute boy is singing bout how cute girls are. My bisexuality is shOOK
I relate so much you dont understand
tghis song gave me my bi awakening
I relate to this on a dangerous level
Can this lad play Orpheus please
Anyone keep on replaying the part from 3:40-4:00? He is so talented and his voice is so beautiful.
8 years and this is still incredible
how did i just now discover this?? my heart is MELTING
i cannot i'm actually sobbing this is the first time i've cried over a song and its actually hurting me
Lyrics:

Pure and rich and lush voice of Ben! I love it.
*Sings in beautiful perfection that is Ben Fankhauser*
Sing
Okay i'm not straight but
God his voice-
Oh, my heart just melted. So good it kills me.
When he looks into the camera...look into my soul boy
Everytime I listen to this song it feels like coming home
He's so extra with his riffs and I love it
Ben is simply incredible. He's such an inspiration to me. I'm a high school senior at Lockport High School in Lockport, NY looking to go into musical theatre, and I would love none other than to follow in his footsteps and go to Ithaca
Are you going to apply early admission?
good luck!
Thanks! Grace Patrick I don't know. Money is very tight and ithaca is quite expensive.. WaterMelanie93
I couldn't agree more, my friend. But Ithaca is really expensive. My name is Matt, and I'm a freshman Musical Theatre Major at Rider University. We've got a great program, and it's not nearly as much as Ithaca. Check us out!
Matt Sweeney Program looks awesome to me. Maybe i'll apply! Thanks!
Ben has been my biggest inspiration to pursue musical theater, but I am not that good at dancing and my mom doesn't like the idea of musical theater as a career. I still want to though.
So it's weird to see such a recent comment on this video, and I wanted to let you know I'm rooting for you, and I know you can go far in theater as long as you stay passionate!! I watched your videos too, and you really are a great singer!
+Abby Folds thanks. I'm a new Fansie and I just watched this lol. But thanks for the support!
+Netta Nakash I'm with you too, my parents (mom mostly) don't like the idea of arts as a career either
hey I don't know how old you are but I grew up dancing and performing arts etc. I don't sing but I went through years of training and all I can honestly tell you is it takes years of hard work and training to get into the theatre industry and If I am being honest it is a hard business. I changed my career cause I ended up having knee industry and now write and do other things but if this is something you want to do then go for it and even if it fails life will lead you in a different direction. All the best with everything.
just me I don't understand why parents these days have an issue with there kids being in the arts. Tony Goldwyn made an amazing speech about this a while ago and In the end It is your life and in my opinion it is better to do something you are passionate about than have a job that you are not happy in. Like I said above though just be prepared cause the performing industry is a tough industry to get into. Good luck with everything.
i need jesus oh my god ben is destroying me somebody do something
I CRIED ACTUALLY CRIED WOW
“An tRaVEl OOOONN” like if u agree
Simply fantastic. Breathtaking. He is so talented- he makes it look effortless.
i love songs like this--when the timid characters finally show their strength and passion, if only for a moment. beautiful.
Ben is so unappreciated. He does pretty much everything Jeremy does on Newsies AND HE'S A GREAT DANCER. And hear him sing please
okay, hear me out
*although jeremy is a good singer, ben is a lot better*
@@andii- OKOK, hear me out.
They’re both amazing singers and actors and everything, and you can’t compare them because they each have their own unique voices and tones. But they’re both immaculate.
@@andii-They're both the best but Andrew Keenan-Bolger tops the list.
Alright we aren’t comparing wonderful legends here (But Ben Cook-)
Oh what I would do to get a straight theatre boy to like me... 🙃
I need this professionally recorded asap k thx
Yes please!!!!!
What would we do without this man 😭👏
I am a simple person. I see the words "kiss" and "Ben Fankhauser" and I click
Bella Rose where is this song from
i've watched this an unhealthy amount of times
Still convinced this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen and heard
this makes me melt
I think I’ve listened to this video a million times. His voice is the most perfect thing on the planet. How does he exist? Are we sure he’s human?
Omg
He's so flipping beautiful. He has an amazing voice. I love him
Repeats 3:43 - 4:01 forever.
I didn’t know I needed this until I listened to it. It needs to be professionally recorded so I can listen to it on repeat forever.
Has anyone noticed that every BEN on Broadway is amazing? For example: Ben Platt and Ben Fankhauser
Ben Tyler Cook😂
This is my new favorite song! I can't get enough of it! I could listen to it forever!
there is no words to explain this song... two thumbs up... if I had more I would use those too...
