I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah
I know a lot of people use this as their wedding song but it reminds me of my husbands relationship with my daughter. His life changed holding that little girl. ❤
This was my first dance song at my wedding. My wife and I still start dancing when we hear this song. Brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for the great music.
I just had my son and when I listen to this song, I can't help but tear up. I've had 4 losses and after so many wishes on the stars, I was finally pregnant. My son was born 3 weeks early due to induction. 06/25/24 at 12:19 pm. 14 hours of labor and 9 minutes of pushing and there he was. This.. Tiny little thing that needed me just as much as I needed him. The way his entire hand holds my pinkie.. I cannot describe it. I cannot describe the type of love I feel for this tiny being that looks at the world with such wonder and curiosity in his eyes. I have never seen someone see the world in such wonder like he sees things.
What I like about this song is the open subtext. Other songs it’s obvious that the singer is talking about a child/a spouse/etc., but here it’s kind of open to your own interpretation, and that’s what makes it so personally special to you. I’ve seen a lot of comments where people have said it’s their first song at their wedding, or it reminds them of their daughter. For me, it’s both! Also the song isn’t just about the spouse or daughter, it’s about how your love for them made you a better man and helped you grow as a person. That’s not a perspective I hear about much in songs and it resonates.
The song isn’t open to interpretation. He has said on interviews that this song was intended to be for his daughter. Now can you use this song for a wife? Sure, but the song was written for his daughter
@@arod4056I find it slightly problematic, even, to consider it to be about romantic love. Romantic love shouldn’t be transforming a boy into a man. You should be a man before you fall in love and make that kind of commitment. It’s not your spouse’s job to make you grow up. Fatherhood will make anyone grow up, on the other hand.
We decided today that this will be our first dance song. I don’t think it’s possible to hear this and not cry. I’m so happy to have my soon to be fiancée in my life. I’m also happy she shared this beautiful song with me. But I am most happy that she has shown me a love like this.
😩😩 I never thought of it like that and now I'm ugly crying. I always wanted "walk with you" by Edwin McCain to be my song with my dad but now this is a strong contender.
I’ve loved the same girl ever since I was 13. And we used this song for our wedding March earlier this year. Just seeing how beautiful she looked combined with the lyrics of the song I couldn’t help but be filled with tears of joy. This beautiful song will always be a reminder that I married the love of my life .
Never was an early riser Used to be an up-all-nighter Never saw the morning light quite like I do now Never said no to a party Never started saving money Everything is different since you've been around It's the way you're smiling at me It's in the way you hold my hand It's the way I've watched you change me From a boy into a man It's a million things about you And I don't know what it is I have never known a love like this Never used to get excited To sit here in the silence Holding on to something The way I'm holding you Didn't used to know how fast time Walks and runs and flies by I never thought I'd feel so deeply, but damn I do It's the way you're smiling at me It's in the way you hold my hand It's the way I've watched you change me From a boy into a man It's…
Wow! I've been listening to this song at work as background music the last few weeks as part of a playlist. Then it the lyrics hit me today. What a great song! I shared it with my family today. Never too late the ones you love know how you love them and how they have impacted your life for the better. Thanks for the great song Ben!
Found this song by chance back in 2018 when my now wife and I were planning our wedding. It was our first song. It helps sum up how much I love my wife.
My all-tim fave song of yours Ben. You are a genius. Btw , just this morning I found out one of my bestfriends listen to your songs on spotify when she played 30,000 on her car. I shared to her how amazing you are and your songs. We’re both hoping you get the attention you deserve. God bless always.
This was one of my wedding dance songs. This is also the song her and I danced to years later when we ended our marriage. Strangely enough every lyric still rings true, even after its over. Thank you for this one Ben, it changed my life. I will never not love this song.
So I’ve heard Ben Rector songs before. But as time continues and other artists and songs get created and released, past songs I’ve liked get drowned out by newer stuff. I was watching American Idol and remembered the duel Ben had with Graham DeFranco and the vocals and the tones the song demanded from them were so beautiful that it quickly became my favorite duet to EVER come from American Idol. But once it was over, I forgot about it. Now it’s 2:30 in the morning, suddenly remembered it and it’s like I’m falling in love all over again. I can’t wait to learn this song so I can sing it too.
I didn't actually know about this song, I just had a random list play, and this is the one out of the rare few songs I saved. I really enjoyed listening to it, and still do today.
It's easy, just be a good for nothing loser that hates everyone and everything, other than that I don't know. No really I also don't know how anyone could hate Ben and/or his songs, but maybe that's just me. I know, that even though I like so many different types of music, I could never get into rap or death metal, so maybe there's some people who don't like it. ???
I heard George Sheppard from the band “Sheppard” play this song once on a livestream for his fans (just playing acoustic by himself) and I fell in love with the song. I added it to my wedding playlist (our wedding was in October 2021). This past week I found out my wife is pregnant with our first kid and now that I hear the song again, I’m crying realizing that the person in the song can be talking about their spouse or their kid and that new meaning is everything to me now.
Ben, how am I supposed to do schoolwork when you post this😂 If you have a bunch of views out of no where, you know where they came from😂 Love this song!
I loved this album and song so much but didn’t realize the lyrics or really dive deep but when I had my son and he was about 2 I re listened and this song hit me like a Mac truck going 80😢❤
Walker Burroughs audition brought me here. This song gave me Toy Story vibes. To me obviously speaks about love but for some reason is more like a son - mother story. Not sure but either way a beautiful song; love the music and the voice. Really good!
Beautiful. There's a bit of a metallic sounding effect on the vocals. Maybe from tuning them? But I love the composition and the timbre of your voice, as well as the lyrics. Such a wonderful emotional encapsulation of love. Instant fan.
I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah
Praise God for your faith and salvation in JESUS name amen
God is good.
God bless you and your family!!
Thank you to say the truth.
Jesus christ is the way to find beautiful life. Is the Light ❤
Amen brother! All Glory To God🙌🏻✝️
Why is this so underated. The feels is solid 😭
Never known a song like this. Made me cry the first time I heard it and I’ll never forget that moment. Love this, man
Same here 🥺
This song will never not feel like it belongs in a Pixar short. ❤️
This makes so much sense.
This video feels like a Pixar short. It's so perfect
That would be a great one!
The thing about Harry
That’s because Randy Newman wrote for quite a few Pixar movies and Ben has a Randy vibe.
I know a lot of people use this as their wedding song but it reminds me of my husbands relationship with my daughter. His life changed holding that little girl. ❤
Oh, this is the sweetest comment I’ve read.
That’s what he meant when he wrote it!
I get married on April 2, 2022 and this is our first dance song. Brings tears to my eyes every single I hear it.
Congratulations!! I bet it was beautiful!
This was my first dance song at my wedding. My wife and I still start dancing when we hear this song. Brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for the great music.

I haven't met this kind of love, but I am in love with this song.

Feels more like you're singing to your daughter. This is a perfect daddy-daughter wedding dance song.
I think that would be so cute.
😩😩 I never thought of it like that and now I'm ugly crying. I always wanted "walk with you" by Edwin McCain to be my song with my dad but now this is a strong contender.
@@chelsealaclair4358 It's okay, makes me cry too. :)
Now I have to watch it again and think of it in that way to see how it would be.
@@davidscott5903 Let me know what you think!

thats so cute!!!!!! i love that!!!!
Seems everyone is jaded and bitter until I hear a song like this and read the comments. We all just want to be loved. What a beautiful song
What a beautiful comment. We all just want to be loved. Have a blessed day
Time to share this everywhere ☺️
Hi Ben. Gonna playing this one again and again.
The moment I heard this, I fell inlove with Ben's music.
Never was an early riser
Used to be an up-all-nighter
Never saw the morning light quite like I do now
Never said no to a party
Never started saving money
Everything is different since you've been around
It's the way you're smiling at me
It's in the way you hold my hand
It's the way I've watched you change me
From a boy into a man
It's a million things about you
And I don't know what it is
I have never known a love like this
Never used to get excited
To sit here in the silence
Holding on to something
The way I'm holding you
Didn't used to know how fast time
Walks and runs and flies by
I never thought I'd feel so deeply, but damn I do
It's the way you're smiling at me
It's in the way you hold my hand
It's the way I've watched you change me
From a boy into a man
It's…
Wow. Incredible! The lyrics 🥺....the composition 😌
Absolutely phenomenal!
Bravo Mr. Rector😎👏🏾
Thank you God for helping grow me into the man I am today.
I love this song so much because it sounds like it's an original soundtrack of my life like no other song is.
I'm really glad that I work from home, because I would look really weird bawling at my desk in the office.
I came here from American Idol. This song just moved me
My dad sings this to me! I couldn't understand when i was young but now i do. I miss u daddy ❤
this song will definitely our first dance of my future wife..
oh..
our wedding is on MAY 4TH 2021!!
thankyou MR.BEN RECTOR

Congratulations! Hope the dance went well. God bless.
@@MCMarioG99S0ccerFTW yes sir the 1st dance went successful..last may 4 is our wedding..it is very special because thats my wife birthday too..

How cute!! Love it Ben Rector!! One of my favorite songs 😊
So tender, so honest, so beautiful. Ty.

listed to this while watching "The Thing About Harry," and my eyes started raining! newest fan ...
I heard it at 2:28 on 20/11/2024, Foxi
“Every time I look at you, I fall in love all over again.”
I didn't actually know about this song, I just had a random list play, and this is the one out of the rare few songs I saved. I really enjoyed listening to it, and still do today.
I love all of his songs
How couldn’t you love Ben Rector?
