That's one of the reasons why I love his music, I'm not an English native speaker but I'm trying to understand the songs while I listen to them and with some artists it doesn't work but I can understand most of the words Alec says without looking for the lyrics
There is so much meaning in this song but what really stands out to me is the subtle parallels drawn between both kids; showing them both with their own pain and fear. In the end, the boy in the bubble shows the other kid how to live in a safe bubble in order to protect himself, even though he lives "in a broken bubble". To create his own, safe, bubble when his family bubble is broken. What an amazing song.
A lil analysis of the song/video: -the song switches between three perspectives: the boy, the bully, the narrorator. -the boy is victim of bullying, however, the bully is also bullied by the dad. "Son you gotta tell me why you're black and blue" could be referring to the bully being beaten by the dad (or the boy, or both, same for a lot of other lyrics). Also, "He was scared to go home every night" (the lyric along those lines) refers to the bully being scared to go home because of his abusive father. -The boy is richer and better off than the bully -The boy's astronaut helmet is symbolic of protection. The boy has the helmet on because he needs protection from the bully. -At the end, he takes of his helmet, and hands it to the bully. This is a symbolic guesture symbolizing the boy's realization that the bully needs protection more than him (from the dad), as he is a witness of the dad's abuse -The time is night, possibly visually presenting the idiom, "at the end of the day", which translates to "ultimately", in essence. SO "At the end of the day" the boy is protected, because he has a safer house, and the bully can hurt him all he wants, but the boy will be safer, and have a better future. I have a lot of other thoughts on this song, but it would take too long to write all it. Idk I could just be overanalysing this song lol
@@Sam-zi7ln well yeah, you can just take the video literally, and at face value, but that would be doing a bit of a disservice to the creator(s), because you're ignoring the core message and meaning it holds.
Teo Tsal Music is just music Art has all the components of photography painting acting all of that isn’t in music so for that I say that it’s music is art as itself. ❤️🙂
I like how this song tells both sides of the story and tells you that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. But it also kinda says that you shouldn't let your anger out at someone else.
Here is the video for “Boy in the Bubble” I really hope you like the new mixtape . Leave a comment below ! follow me on insta for more updates @alecbenjamin .
I love how at the end the kid who had been bullied gave the bully his helmet as if saying. "I forgive you. I see your going though alot. I'll give you my protection"
I respect myself, that’s good enough... besides in work related situations. Bitches can try me, but I’m not dealing with childish people when I’m attempting to get through my day.
Got bullied as a kid a lot and eventually made me stronger as the days passed by. Those events simply made me self-dependent and taught me to protect myself. This song hits differently. 🔥🔥
I don’t know if this is incorrect but I interpret this song as how not fighting back and “being the bigger person” is sometimes the better decision. When he says “come the lighting and the thunder, you’ll the one who’ll suffer” and “I know you want the satisfaction it’s not going to happen”I think he’s referring by to how later in life, the bullies will be the ones who suffer is they continue down this path of abuse and violence and that even tho they beat him up, he’s not going to give in and give them the satisfaction of making him angry or upset. That’s just how I interpreted the song. Also, I love your music Alec! This was one of the firsts song I listen to when I found about his music. :)))
it's like what sun tzu said: if you sit by the river long enough, you will see the dead bodies of your enemies. it's not your problem do deal with you enemies, it's karma's job.
alec's songwriting is underappreciated. yeah, his voice is unique and really nice to listen to, but if you pay attention to the lyrics he uses a lot of metaphors and figurative language. not a lot of mainstream music today has this type of meaning in the lyrics. alec's songs always tell a story and unlike telling it directly he likes us to interpret it and i think that's amazing. he really deserves more recognition.
Laura Is it just me or did everyone else not get that he gave him the helmet to the other boy to protect him from harm's way... That's what I believe anyway
The "helmet" is actually the bubble. The kid gave it to the bully because he was showing him who the true boy in the bubble was. Everyone thought it was the kid with glasses, but the whole time it was the bully who felt alone and oppressed.
octo pi Ahh I get it now.. honestly I'm glad Alec does songs like these. They really show the meaning of what people are going through in there lives and other's
@@williebabbs7556 And another thing that's great about Alec's songs is that they have multiple meanings. So you may have very well been right. There's so many hidden meanings to Alec's music which is what makes him extraordinary.
I'm so proud of Alec gosh.. I remember when he barely had fans and I talked to him in the comments a lot he's such a nice person. I'm just so glad that he's getting recognition again because he truly deserves it. If you didn't already you should check out his older songs as well. I love you a lot Alec, been a fan since day one💓
I accidentally came across this kid and dammit man do his songs connect with me in a way that I can't even... Alec Benjamin, I am so thankful for you, my man!
I want him to blow up and get the recognition he deserves because his music is absolutely brilliant and he is talented as hell, but at the same time, I want to keep him a secret that I can enjoy.
I'm five years late to this song I guess but I discovered this song at the right time and the being the bigger person message and standing up to your enemies or bullies really meant a lot to me. The storytelling and catchy chorus and relatability to every kid or teenager who was ever bullied is what make this song one of my top favorites.
LYRICS It was 6:48, I was walking home Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold Then I covered up my face so that no one knows I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble But then came trouble When my mom walked into the living room She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you" I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do" She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue" I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble But then came trouble And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming Mind was running, air was freezing Put my hands up, put my hands up I told this kid I'm ready for a fight Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain Every time you curse my name I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground It's only gonna let you down Come the lightning and the thunder You're the one who'll suffer, suffer Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose I had thick red blood running down my clothes And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble But then came trouble And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming Mind was running, nose was bleeding Put my hands up, put my hands up I told this kid I'm ready for a fight Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain Every time you curse my name I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground It's only gonna let you down Come the lightning and the thunder You're the one who'll suffer It was 6:48, he was walking home With the blood on his hand from my broken nose But like every other day, he was scared to go Back to his house 'cause his pops was home Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles Just looking for trouble Well, there's no excuse for the things he did But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid And I hope one day that he'll say to him "Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle In this broken bubble" Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain Every time you curse my name I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground It's only gonna let you down Come the lightning and the thunder You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

When he gives him the helmet at the end it’s like... wow. This kid has beat him up before, but has the compassion and the maturity to realize that “there’s no excuse for the things he did but there’s a lot at home that he’s dealing with.” So he gives him his helmet. Almost like saying, I know and I care. Like, dang. “Love your enemies and pray for those who hurt you.” Matthew 5: 44 ❤️ (Edit: Hey everyone, let's be clear: loving your enemies can be a powerful choice, as it was in this video, but you are under no obligation to love someone who's been cruel to you. It can sometimes be harmful, especially if someone uses that to manipulate you. Fighting back is powerful, too. Please never feel guilty for finally fighting for yourself. You're worth it. Also, never pressure someone to love or forgive abusive or toxic people. That's a choice you make for yourself, but never ever make that an expectation for someone else.)
It’s a great ending, it really shows that the people who act the strongest are the weakest ones inside. They think putting down other people will make them feel bigger, but when it comes to the end, they’re the ones who end up suffering
Rebecca Wolf 123 Don’t worry, it’ll get better eventually. Just stay strong and don’t let the bullies see you are you hurt, it’ll only make them come at you more, just laugh it off. If it gets really bad, suicide is NOT an option, don’t be scared to talk to someone, it’ll help I promise.
I do understand your point, but just because someone is acting stronger doesn’t mean they are weaker. The word stronger could be physically or mentally. When someone is mentally strong they are smart and could control there emotion better than those who are mentally weaker. Also none should suffer even though they bullied someone. They could have there reason or maybe their just a horrible person but still they are human and still have feelings. Once again I do understand your point I just THINK that maybe you might be a tinny bit off. (Ps): Before someone says that bullies should not be trusted and should suffer. Remember they are not serial killers. %99.9 of the time they do have a reason . IF you believe that they don’t have a reason and that they are just mean just let nature take its course because you never know one day your bully could be taking your order at Berger King.
Anais Lora No Tea No Shade but she was just saying that most of the "strongest" or the people who act "strong" are those who are suffering so they want others to suffer Misery loves company
Montana Skye exactly. i was supposed to go to his concert on black friday but my parents couldn’t drive me down, and a few days after i was supposed to buy the tickets he ended up selling out in so many big areas
I’m already crying because I bought tickets to see him this summer and I couldn’t make it to the show. It seems like I’ll never actually see him now as he’s becoming more well known. Which is good but I’m sad I probably won’t see him.

I've listened to this song dozens of times. It was the first Alec Benjamin song I found, actually. But only this time did I listen to the song as if almost the entire song was the kid telling his mom about what happened. And at the end, of course, she'd give him the tightest bear hug ever.

Probably on purpose because Auggie was bullied but became friends with kids, and in the video the boy becomes friends with the bully, and Harry Potter was mistreated and would get into fights with his cousin's friends.
Ok, I've been listening to this song for so so so so SO long, ok, I'd never watcjed the mv before but... Watching this.... The mv literally brought tears to my eyes...

Omg I luv youuuuu
Yay!!
Hello
YAY!!
His voice is SO CLEAR and so fast, you can hear every word he says with no difficulty.
Yeah :)
RIGHT THOUGH
You can hear clearly the fast verses,yes
But try singing it
Lily8061 that’s why I like this guy
Eminem too
i like how he is lowkey rapping but his voice just stays so clear, you have no problem understanding him
Other rappers just be sounding like:
Shidhdhwuvdisnsjsbsh
That's one of the reasons why I love his music, I'm not an English native speaker but I'm trying to understand the songs while I listen to them and with some artists it doesn't work but I can understand most of the words Alec says without looking for the lyrics
It’s so true
Well in good rap you actually can understand. But yea i get what you mean
yessssshshshshssshshshshshss
"You can't put a plot twist in every song you make"
Alec: Am I a joke to you?
When I say I literally cackled reading this comment-
Yeah but the plot twists make a good story
What's the plot twist?
@@shavingmypiano not 100% sure but I think it’s that the kid that bullied him is his brother
@@865bricks :O
There is so much meaning in this song but what really stands out to me is the subtle parallels drawn between both kids; showing them both with their own pain and fear. In the end, the boy in the bubble shows the other kid how to live in a safe bubble in order to protect himself, even though he lives "in a broken bubble". To create his own, safe, bubble when his family bubble is broken. What an amazing song.
Ikr? I love this song.
this looks like something i would be forced to write in school
I like how alecs songs have a story that goes with it

*hi*
A lil analysis of the song/video:
-the song switches between three perspectives: the boy, the bully, the narrorator.
-the boy is victim of bullying, however, the bully is also bullied by the dad. "Son you gotta tell me why you're black and blue" could be referring to the bully being beaten by the dad (or the boy, or both, same for a lot of other lyrics). Also, "He was scared to go home every night" (the lyric along those lines) refers to the bully being scared to go home because of his abusive father.
-The boy is richer and better off than the bully
-The boy's astronaut helmet is symbolic of protection. The boy has the helmet on because he needs protection from the bully.
-At the end, he takes of his helmet, and hands it to the bully. This is a symbolic guesture symbolizing the boy's realization that the bully needs protection more than him (from the dad), as he is a witness of the dad's abuse
-The time is night, possibly visually presenting the idiom, "at the end of the day", which translates to "ultimately", in essence.
SO
"At the end of the day" the boy is protected, because he has a safer house, and the bully can hurt him all he wants, but the boy will be safer, and have a better future.
I have a lot of other thoughts on this song, but it would take too long to write all it.
Idk I could just be overanalysing this song lol
well said
Damn what a deep and well thought through analysis. I didn't even realise 90% of what u said until I listened and watched the song again. Thanks
The DeadCreator or u can just watch the video
Thank you for that
@@Sam-zi7ln well yeah, you can just take the video literally, and at face value, but that would be doing a bit of a disservice to the creator(s), because you're ignoring the core message and meaning it holds.
This is a great song:
•good lyrics
•good music video
•good hair
Peyton Hyatt lol
So true
Lol
I agreed about everything 😂

The silence and then the sudden continuation of the song is just *POWERFUL*

It makes me vibe with the song

Mom: Alec do you want to be a singer or storyteller
Alec: yes
Lol
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes hes
omg yes
YESSSS
*YES*
I like how this song tells both sides of the story and tells you that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. But it also kinda says that you shouldn't let your anger out at someone else.
Ok
Here is the video for “Boy in the Bubble” I really hope you like the new mixtape . Leave a comment below ! follow me on insta for more updates @alecbenjamin .

I love how at the end the kid who had been bullied gave the bully his helmet as if saying. "I forgive you. I see your going though alot. I'll give you my protection"
That's what I realized too, I thinks Adorable
I cried
Same, I cried
So cool
Brave boi
This song doesn’t need lyrics,
because his voice is so clear
Edit: just to clarify this is just a joke I wasn't being serious so cool it
Ugh yeaaaahhhh

1 year later, if your listening to this, you deserve respect
Ayee. This is actually the song that introduced me to alec. Love his songs and been here since 2018. ❤
I respect myself, that’s good enough... besides in work related situations. Bitches can try me, but I’m not dealing with childish people when I’m attempting to get through my day.

Confusion
I- He did "Stan"
Got bullied as a kid a lot and eventually made me stronger as the days passed by. Those events simply made me self-dependent and taught me to protect myself. This song hits differently. 🔥🔥
Nice I'm still getting bullied lol they won't stop lol I have a black eye 😆
@@Undercoverrrrrrr i feel sorry for you
Don’t worry I’m so used to it now lmfao
what do i do to get bullied? i wanna experience it at least once😭😭😭
I swear it’s like he’s 15 and 25 at the same time
Yes. But have your met THOMAS BRODIE-SANGSTER?? HES 30 AND LOOKS FREAKIN 17 😂😭
HES 14 AND 26 AT THE SAME TIME LMAO
Ikr!
Exactly
NAHH HE'S MORE LIKE 11 and 26 AT THE SAME TIME CUZ MOST OF THE 14 YEAR OLDS HAS A VOICE DEEPER THAN HIM LMFAOOO
He has such an unique voice
Dommusic IYS not unique it’s just he’s singing fast and has a high voice 💀
Sounds like the most standard boy voice ever actually 🤔
A unique voice for autotune
Dommusic it doesn’t match his face honestlylol
It's Me David Ikrrrrr
"I'm ready for a fight."
_Doesn't move_

I'm ready for a fight
Me:
PUNCH MY FACE!!! DO IT CAUSE I LIKE THE PAIN!!!!!!
that's the last thing to do when your about to fight -w-
lmao. Deadass gonna use that in all fight I get into
But that was kinda the point though,,
I don’t know if this is incorrect but I interpret this song as how not fighting back and “being the bigger person” is sometimes the better decision. When he says “come the lighting and the thunder, you’ll the one who’ll suffer” and “I know you want the satisfaction it’s not going to happen”I think he’s referring by to how later in life, the bullies will be the ones who suffer is they continue down this path of abuse and violence and that even tho they beat him up, he’s not going to give in and give them the satisfaction of making him angry or upset. That’s just how I interpreted the song. Also, I love your music Alec! This was one of the firsts song I listen to when I found about his music. :)))
it's like what sun tzu said: if you sit by the river long enough, you will see the dead bodies of your enemies. it's not your problem do deal with you enemies, it's karma's job.
❤
2:00 to 3:00 is so powerful. There’s something about Alec’s music that gives me GOOSEBUMPS every time
jasjit kang ya I love his music so much 💕
alec's songwriting is underappreciated. yeah, his voice is unique and really nice to listen to, but if you pay attention to the lyrics he uses a lot of metaphors and figurative language. not a lot of mainstream music today has this type of meaning in the lyrics. alec's songs always tell a story and unlike telling it directly he likes us to interpret it and i think that's amazing. he really deserves more recognition.
Beverly Wu I couldn’t agree more.
Beverly Wu he writes alot of his music himself
exactly my thoughts. and so are his music videos. just amaziiiing
heart=pumping
chest=screaming
mind=running
air=frezzing
hotel=trivago
Nose =bleeding
The exact same part came on as soon as I read that😂
Narrated= for you
Joke=Unoriginal
@• shut up
His voice is fast but you can clearly understand everything he says, another masterpiece for your music collection
That scene when that little kid gave his helmet to that other kid.. That was adorable..😍
Laura Is it just me or did everyone else not get that he gave him the helmet to the other boy to protect him from harm's way... That's what I believe anyway
The "helmet" is actually the bubble. The kid gave it to the bully because he was showing him who the true boy in the bubble was. Everyone thought it was the kid with glasses, but the whole time it was the bully who felt alone and oppressed.
octo pi Ahh I get it now.. honestly I'm glad Alec does songs like these. They really show the meaning of what people are going through in there lives and other's
@@williebabbs7556 And another thing that's great about Alec's songs is that they have multiple meanings. So you may have very well been right. There's so many hidden meanings to Alec's music which is what makes him extraordinary.
octo pi True which is why this fan base needs to grow lol

I'm five years late to this song I guess but I discovered this song at the right time and the being the bigger person message and standing up to your enemies or bullies really meant a lot to me. The storytelling and catchy chorus and relatability to every kid or teenager who was ever bullied is what make this song one of my top favorites.
LYRICS
It was 6:48, I was walking home
Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
When my mom walked into the living room
She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"
She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
Mind was running, air was freezing
Put my hands up, put my hands up
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
Every time you curse my name
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
It's only gonna let you down
Come the lightning and the thunder
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed
He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
I had thick red blood running down my clothes
And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
Mind was running, nose was bleeding
Put my hands up, put my hands up
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
Every time you curse my name
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
It's only gonna let you down
Come the lightning and the thunder
You're the one who'll suffer
It was 6:48, he was walking home
With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
But like every other day, he was scared to go
Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
Just looking for trouble
Well, there's no excuse for the things he did
But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
And I hope one day that he'll say to him
"Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
In this broken bubble"
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
Every time you curse my name
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
It's only gonna let you down
Come the lightning and the thunder
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
WOW

The best artists are both vocally talented and great at displaying a story for the audience to digest. Great video and song!
When he gives him the helmet at the end it’s like... wow. This kid has beat him up before, but has the compassion and the maturity to realize that “there’s no excuse for the things he did but there’s a lot at home that he’s dealing with.” So he gives him his helmet. Almost like saying, I know and I care. Like, dang.
“Love your enemies and pray for those who hurt you.” Matthew 5: 44 ❤️
(Edit: Hey everyone, let's be clear: loving your enemies can be a powerful choice, as it was in this video, but you are under no obligation to love someone who's been cruel to you. It can sometimes be harmful, especially if someone uses that to manipulate you.
Fighting back is powerful, too. Please never feel guilty for finally fighting for yourself. You're worth it. Also, never pressure someone to love or forgive abusive or toxic people. That's a choice you make for yourself, but never ever make that an expectation for someone else.)
thanks man ima chirstion

@@imelda7459 eeeee me too!!!!
Who else thought he put a time stamp even tho there’s not even 5 minutes in the video😂
Oops I clicked the time stamp 💀💀💀
It’s a great ending, it really shows that the people who act the strongest are the weakest ones inside. They think putting down other people will make them feel bigger, but when it comes to the end, they’re the ones who end up suffering
Jessy Anderson your right because I have been build and I am still and it's getting bad now but it's fine I can't feel pain 😭😋
Rebecca Wolf 123 Don’t worry, it’ll get better eventually. Just stay strong and don’t let the bullies see you are you hurt, it’ll only make them come at you more, just laugh it off. If it gets really bad, suicide is NOT an option, don’t be scared to talk to someone, it’ll help I promise.
Jessy Anderson thank you so much 😊I will not do it I cut myself but I will stop it
I do understand your point, but just because someone is acting stronger doesn’t mean they are weaker. The word stronger could be physically or mentally. When someone is mentally strong they are smart and could control there emotion better than those who are mentally weaker. Also none should suffer even though they bullied someone. They could have there reason or maybe their just a horrible person but still they are human and still have feelings. Once again I do understand your point I just THINK that maybe you might be a tinny bit off.
(Ps): Before someone says that bullies should not be trusted and should suffer. Remember they are not serial killers. %99.9 of the time they do have a reason . IF you believe that they don’t have a reason and that they are just mean just let nature take its course because you never know one day your bully could be taking your order at Berger King.
Anais Lora No Tea No Shade but she was just saying that most of the "strongest" or the people who act "strong" are those who are suffering so they want others to suffer

lyrics:
It was 6:48, I was walking home
Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
When my mom walked into the living room
She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"
She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
Mind was running, air was freezing
Put my hands up, put my hands up
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
Every time you curse my name
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
It's only gonna let you down
Come the lightning and the thunder
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed
He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
I had thick red blood running down my clothes
And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
Mind was running, nose was bleeding
Put my hands up, put my hands up
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
Every time you curse my name
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
It's only gonna let you down
Come the lightning and the thunder
You're the one who'll suffer
It was 6:48, he was walking home
With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
But like every other day, he was scared to go
Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
Just looking for trouble
Well, there's no excuse for the things he did
But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
And I hope one day that he'll say to him
"Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
In this broken bubble"
Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
Every time you curse my name
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
It's only gonna let you down
Come the lightning and the thunder
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
How long did that take you to do?
@@JPNerf1 probably long
I accidentally clicked the time and realized that was part of the lyrics 🤣
*lalala*
@@JPNerf1 probably copy and past
I've listened to this song dozens of times. It was the first Alec Benjamin song I found, actually. But only this time did I listen to the song as if almost the entire song was the kid telling his mom about what happened. And at the end, of course, she'd give him the tightest bear hug ever.
These are the lyrics with quotation marks how I just viewed it:

Probably on purpose because Auggie was bullied but became friends with kids, and in the video the boy becomes friends with the bully, and Harry Potter was mistreated and would get into fights with his cousin's friends.
Auggie Potter

Why isn't anyone talking about how the cinematic playing with his amazing music could be an awesome movie itself? I would pay good money to watch! Anybody else?

I can't help but feel like if they make this a real movie by the end the two main characters will be like brothers and I love that.
