HOPE YOU LIKE THE SONG AND VIDEO ! COMMENT AND LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ! THERE MAY ALSO BE AN EASTER EGG SOMEHWHERE IN THE VIDEO .. NOT SURE .. BUT I DID HEAR FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE THERE IS ONE IN THERE ..
As a therapist myself this made me laugh so much because it is so relatable to my life rn in the sense that some cases are just that bad... And I do take it to my personal therapy sessions 😂🙏🏾
Twice I've made cry 2 differents therapists... I'm pretty sure they talked about me to their own therapist 😅 And it wasn't on purpose, its was just too much to handle in less than an hour sadly i was going through a lot and i was younger so that's maybe why 😅
question. is it breaking the confidentiality contract to tell your therapist about how someone elses traumas are creating your own traumas? like if you tell them what your patient told you and then told your therapist about the toll its taking on you
@Kathy- Hope that you’re doing well now. I don’t know but to reach out for help means that we really are messed up. So, wishing you a very happy life ahead! Do take care :)
It’s truly admirable how this song went from being completely rejected to having one of the coolest music videos I’ve seen in a long time! Really inspiring 🌻
I love the music video! You can just close your eyes and imagine being in this music video! I am am really big fan you are my top artist on Spotify I am 12 years no one would probably even read this but alec if you would reply to this message it would mean the world to me ❤
Your music got me through a lot of bullying in school and loneliness in college, I am truly grateful to have had your music from water fountain to now. I’m really happy you’re still making music.
As a person whose pursuing a possible career in psychotherapy, I can say that (from what my psychotherapist professors mention) no person should ever feel like they’re guilty about making their therapist feel a certain way. It is not your fault for all the things that happened, and you don’t need to worry about what the therapist is doing, they know which resources to use and not let that get into the relationship you can build in sessions. So please, if you feel like this, know that a therapist never judges you of how fucked up your life it, they might be sad about the course of events, but what matters is that you become functional and thrive with the possibilities you have. Much love x
Mine had no idea what to do she just did whatever my parents wanted which was usually just telling me the same coping skills over and over and trying to tell me how I felt like NO LADY I know how I feel. I feel it every day. You seem like you'll do a great job, I wish you luck, and thank you for helping people like us
Thank you 😭 currently a teen and been going to a psychiatrist for anxiety and general emotional and temper troubles for almost 4 years 💀listening to this I’m like,”damn,my psychiatrist must be growing tired of me and not being able to just get over stuff lol” Luckily, I acctually made progress and may end up having to stop going this winter so hopefully things improve greatly by then. Getting mental care really has been the best thing ever I’ve never felt so much self-worth and contentment before 🤩I worry I’m being cocky cause of how much more esteemed I feel lol To you I say,thank you for being noble and smart enough to go into the field 💖
me and my grandpa used to listen to all your songs together- i sang and he tried to mumble the words. he was very sick at the time and sadly passed last night in his sleep. no pain, silently, just how he would want to. his favorite song was Steve, since his best friend was named Steve who had also passed. he would have loved this song. i saw it a couple minutes after it was posted but didnt think of sending a small memorial for him here. i sang the song out loud and i knew he could hear me and loved it.
so sorry for your loss.. thank you for sharing this special story with me.. im so grateful for you and for your grandfather .. im sure hes right here singing with us :)
@@AlecBenjaminMusic oh my lord. thabk you so much for responding you just made me and my grandmas day. weve been listening to you since paper crown was first released, this is truly a blessing thank you so much.
Now that I've listened to the song and watched the video its so well done, almost Alec being the one talking and being the therapist shows him going to see someone, but also that person being himself. Showing he can only rely on himself as like in the lyrics "I dont think that I can be of any help" meaning Alec now has to rely on himself. Amazing lyrics which match the depiction of the video!!
The lesson we could learn through this song is that everyone needs help, even if they look strong or dependable. For example, I considered my friend to be my therapist because he always shared sad stories and helped me feel better after all. However, one day, he told me he needed me to sit beside him and share his story. He probably felt his soul ruined and heartbroken.
Another excellent turning-songs-into-stories work of art! And Alec's signature of "using the same chorus for different characters in the story" is here again 👌💗
This song is not only a vibe, but it's so relatable! Although I've never seen a therapist, I've asked friends for help. After dumping, you look up and they just have this look of mortification. This song embodies that look. It will be on replay for awhile that's for sure. Thank you Alec!!!
I love how Alec addresses real situations and issued people experience in his songs. People experience searching for help and validation, although sometimes it's not received. His songs give that sense of belonging and relatability.
This is what art is supposed to do, supposed to hit your heart and sometimes break your brain. That’s how you know it’s that craft. This is so good fam, well done
Absolutely blown away by 'I Sent My Therapist To Therapy'! Alec Benjamin always manages to weave raw emotion into his music, and this track hits right in the feels. The storytelling is poignant, the melody hauntingly beautiful. Can't get enough of it! In addition, the imagery perfectly complements the song's emotional depth, creating an immersive experience that stays with you long after the music stops. 💫
this has been on repeat for hours now. probably the most meaningful song i've ever listened to, along with the mv it's a liberation to listen to this! you're actually telling a part of the story of all of us. ❤
These Two Windows got me through a horrible breakup, and now 12 notes??? THIS is why Alec is my favorite artist, hes why I write music to be happier. I THANK YOU ALEC!!
SO many times I’ve told my therapist something that she had to really think about before moving on. I hate to think I send her to her own therapist with my worries and such, but I’m afraid I do. This song makes me feel things. Many things. Thank you for another amazing song!
Most therapists have their own personal therapists that they go to! It's a normal thing in that line of work. They're there to help you, to give you the tools you need to manage symptoms, improve your daily functioning, and to improve your quality of life, and they're doing this for many people. It's natural that they'll need someone to help them do the same, to help them with their own needs and help them be able to keep their clients' worries separate from the therapists' personal life. Never be afraid to share what you're feeling with your therapist, that's what they're there for! They have their own methods of managing their mental health. And having been in therapy myself for a long time, it's likely that when your therapist pauses to think on what you've said she's simply doing just that, thinking about it. They don't always have answers or a response right away. :) Sometimes they need to think on it and do their own research to figure out how best to help with a specific worry. And that's okay! It gives them a new tool to teach you that may help not only you, but also future clients with similar worries.

This has to be one of the best music videos I've ever watched. Definitely captures the entire concept of the song, and it's done with Alec's special way. I admire this man so much.
You guys...he's too talented. We gotta protect him so he doesn't turn into Sam Smith on our asses...(this is a joke abt the music industry, so children who are about 20 yrs older than me don't fight in the comments)
This is not what I expected, in the BEST way possible , I absolutely love it! The tempo really works , it's great, though irritatingly catchy as it's already stuck in my head :)
Some of his songs make you happy .Some make you sad. But SOME SPECIAL ones SCREAM ' he has so much talent' and make you wonder why you can't make anything that well.
@@aislingonzales i also would he looks child like innocent soft and kind of gives me a vibe of cute bf types as well!! I hope you do get some idea from my description!!
I don’t know that it necessitated her going to therapy, but after a session and a half with my therapist she just sorta said, “I’m sorry, but I, uh, don’t think I’m qualified to help you… I can help you find someone else, though. somebody that can prescribe you medication…” 😂 Took me 24 years to find the courage to see a therapist, and immediately got rejected. I laugh about it now, but at the time it just triggered a whole new sense of helplessness. This is officially my new favorite song. Excellent work, sir, as per usual. It seems like every time I’m going through something, you put out a new song that completely relates and makes my soul feel lighter. Thank you for doing what you do. Thank you for existing. ❤
This is amazing. It's probably concerning that this is kinda relatable, but it feels real. Being so hurt it hurts others. Your songs are amazing. They're so different from anything else around in a great way. Comforting and entertaining. There's a reason you became my favourite musician so quickly, only a few months. So quick that some might say it's a different kind of beautiful hehe. ❤❤❤
I'm from Russia and I don't know English well, so I don't understand what you're talking about when I listen to your songs for the first time. but I like their sound, and when I watch the translation, I fall in love with your work even more. just today I subscribed to your TH-cam channel and it turned out that you have no less wonderful clips! good luck and inspiration to you, you are a wonderful musician. p.s. I'm sorry if it's difficult to read the comment - I'm writing through a translator :')
А что, в раше больше некого слушать? Как же киркоров, басков, лазарев? А то как Европа и США - так «НАТО хочет нас захватить, надо напасть на Украину», а как музыка, так нравятся западные артисты))) несостыковочка
This song makes me feel like I'd actually make for a good therapist. Emotional numbness would help me remain detached and analyse the situation from a completely logical and objective pov
FINALLY THIS SONG CAME OUT ALL THE COLORS ARE SO PRETTY AND CONSISTENT, always doing a perfect job with the video and dear lord, the song is such a great art piece like always Such a precious work as always
“Secondary trauma, also known as vicarious trauma or secondary traumatic stress, is the indirect trauma a person can experience when exposed to images or stories of other people's traumatic experiences.”
You are our therapist, Alec. So incredibly talented. I've been listening to this song all day long, just another masterpiece 😎 and the video is really great, I love it! ❤
I'll be honest, as someone who wants a job like therapy this song really helped me realize that there may be some cases that I may not be able to hep the client, but it makes me even more determined to help them ToT (ps. also please dont take this song down it really helped me mentally, and with motivation TvT)
I feel the same. Part of me also wants to be a therapist. I want to help. But sometimes hearing everyone's problems drags you down as well. It's tricky.
My cousin is a school councelor. I don't know what kind of stories her students had confided in her, but she doesn't look cheerful like before. I'm not trying to stop you from your dream. Just hoping that you would take care of your own mental health too when dealing with others'
Such a great song. I'm a therapist who also sees her own therapist, and Rodrigo, if you're out there reading this, thanks for putting up with me; I'm certain that I sent you into therapy, too! On a lighter note, looking forward to seeing Alec next weekend at SOMA.
This song feels like a metaphor for generational trauma, especially for children who play the role of "therapist" for one parent or the other or both. And how the therapist role gets passed down and each case gets worse, to a point where the "therapist" kid can't handle it anymore and seeks comfort and help in the next "therapist" in the next generation.
Me and my friend Candice listened to your songs all the time hearing this song 2 years after she passed makes me feel like shes still with me your songs bring me comfort.. thank you for lighting up our world with your music Alec ❤
What a wonderful song. You never even think about these things can happen but everyone goes through things and needs people to talk to. What a beautiful concept.
"Wish I could help you out, you'll have to be strong" and "I'm sorry but I thought I'd never see a case as bad as yours, don't think I have a remedy" hits hard when all the people you've vented to have absolutely nothing to say/suggest and are baffled how you're still here, very sorry for you as well. Leaving you with the "Life gets better" or "Take it one day at a time" I absolutely love how Alec Benjamin can put such experiences into a great song.
I listened to your song, and I felt my chest tighten. I felt such pain and despair, sensing your loneliness and that no one can help you. Maybe I feel the same, and that’s why it resonated with me so deeply.
I love everything about this song! I love the beat and the rhythm to it. I especially love the part at the end where the doctors doctor said he needed help now
i showed my mom your music the other day and she fell in love, specifically for "The Wolf And The Sheep" (the old unreleased song) because she related to it. I'm going to send this to my mom and I bet she's going to love it! and I love your music, you're an amazing artist!!
I can't take my ears off of you! I haven't heard a song or watched a video that I didn't love or couldn't relate to. I discovered your music right before the hardest time in my life, and I honestly couldn't have made it through without you. Thank you and Bless you from the bottom of my heart.
This song is so incredible. I swear I can't even express how smart this idea is, and how well the vibe of the music fits the theme. Love you as always Alec
This new sound is so amazing! I love it. It's absolutely lovely and I've been waiting for it for so long. It is different but a good different and I love how all of his songs tell a story all are so beautiful. Absolutely lovely. The beat in this song is a great one.
Something about Alec's songs is that they grow on you. Every one. I listened to this at first, and I thought it was pretty cool. Now I hear it, and I know how absolutely amazing it is.
This song hit me in more ways than one. I jammed but at the same time my heart hurt, the words are deep but that just makes the song all the more meaningful. Overall I loved it, just cried a little. Really a wonderful song ❤

This is by far the best song i have ever listend to alongside with the music video. Its lyrics hit harder than a truck and the video sequence captures your attention within first seconds. The only songs that can overshadow this one for me are new music from Alec, there is absolutely no match for this masterpiece. All of your art is amazing, keep it up. I'm completely mind-blown by this song and one of the most recent songs of Alec's called "Different Kind Of Beautiful", which hit quite hard as well.
This song sounds exactly like those I've heard many years ago when I fell in love with your music, Alec! The real art of storytelling. Gonna listen to this song many many times❤
@AlecBenjaminMusic I’m sure you’ve made millions of impacts on people’s lives. If I could tell you how you saved my life you’d never believe me. I’m forever thankful for you. A man I’ve never met….

Rapping now? What can’t this man do y’all?
Edit: Alec you’re an underrated genius my friend.❤❤❤
Writing a bad song is sth he can't do
He's rapped before. I remember he said in some interview that one of his inspirations growing up was Eminem
Oh come on we all know he raps flawlessly! Just listen to "Boy in the bubble" folks ❤
he has been rapping for long. real fans know this

[Verse 1]
He said
"Take a seat over there, on the chair by the couch
Tell me what you've been thinking about
There's nothing you can say that's out of bounds
You can trust me, swear I'm here for you now"
I've heard it all before, he took out his pen
But as he wrote down each, each thing that I said
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, well, the mood just changed
He started acting strange
This was our next exchange
[Chorus]
He said
"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can be
Of any help, think I need help now," is what he said to me
Might even need it more than me now, oh, the irony
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
"I tell you what, I'm sorry, but I thought I'd never see
A case as bad as yours, don't think I have a remedy," mm
Think he needs help now, oh, the irony
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
[Verse 2]
So I got up from the chair where I sat by the couch
He said to me, "Could you sit back down?"
And I could see as I turned around
Really needed someone he could talk to now, said
"Thought that I'd seen it all, turns out I was wrong
Wish I could help you out, you'll have to be strong"
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, well, the mood just changed
He started acting strange
This was our next exchange
[Chorus]
He said
"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can be
Of any help, think I need help now," is what he said to me
Might even need it more than me now, oh, the irony
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
"I tell you what, I'm sorry, but I thought I'd never see
A case as bad as yours, don't think I have a remedy," mm
Think he needs help now, oh, the irony
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
[Post-Chorus]
I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up now
I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up now
I'm so messed up, can't you see?
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
[Verse 3]
I went out yesterday to get food from the store
And ran into the man from before
Right by the exit door
He stopped me to talk
Said that he went to go and look for some help
A funny thing happened and I said, "Do tell"
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and the story is, mm
My doctor found a doctor and his doctor told him
[Chorus]
"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can be
Of any help, think I need help now," is what he said to me
Might even need it more than me now, oh, the irony
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
"I tell you what, I'm sorry, but I thought I'd never see
A case as bad as yours, don't think I have a remedy," mm
Think he needs help now, oh, the irony
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
thx bro
Plz give the lyricist a kiss ❤
Thank you 😊
This has to be one of the best music videos I've ever watched. Definitely captures the entire concept of the song, and it's done with Alec's special way. I admire this man so much.
So true best music video ever
This is definitely going to be my #1 for my Spotify wrapped 2024
same here
Omg same
IM SAYINGG
You guys...he's too talented. We gotta protect him so he doesn't turn into Sam Smith on our asses...(this is a joke abt the music industry, so children who are about 20 yrs older than me don't fight in the comments)
It’s wonderful……I have no idea how to explain my emotions after this song…..
The lyrics, the beat, the video and Alec Benjamin with GLASSES?! This is perfection 🔥
Alec with glasses>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ALEC IS SO INCREDIBLY TALENTED 😭💗
This is not what I expected, in the BEST way possible , I absolutely love it! The tempo really works , it's great, though irritatingly catchy as it's already stuck in my head :)
Me too 😅
This is such an amazing song! I can’t stop listening to it on repeat 😩
Alec is a mind-blowing artist
Lie!
@Omg, why can’t you just let people enjoy whatever they want?
@@emf7328Fr no one can say anything on social media anymore without getting a hate comment
@@Gacha_Mari_15Honestly guy, but u assure u Tiktok and Insta has worse hate comments😢😢
I don't understand how you can create a masterpiece every time you write a song ❤
This song really hits deep. Thanks Alec for making songs that describes me so precisely. You and your songs really means a lot to me
Some of his songs make you happy .Some make you sad.
But SOME SPECIAL ones SCREAM ' he has so much talent' and make you wonder why you can't make anything that well.
You're my therapist and your songs are my therapy 🥺❤
Thank you so much Alec ... 🥰
really You are a magic 😍❤
Fr his music is so good :)
🥰🥰🥰@@Potterhead443
The ohhhhs and aaaaaahhhs are sugar to my ears. Fantastic.
The song is overall a masterpiece!!
Also alec as a therapist looks cute!!❤😂
What does he look like I’m blind so I don’t know
@@aislingonzalesI am sorry about this description but I can’t think of another way to say things, child like
@@aislingonzales i also would he looks child like innocent soft and kind of gives me a vibe of cute bf types as well!!
I hope you do get some idea from my description!!
@@aislingonzaleshmm if you're blind how did you know then about that he wrote how alec looks like
@@xtremegamer1267 well, I can’t really understand your question because you have so many typos
I was in top 1% of Alec Benjamin listeners this year, and this is a huge request to the same in 2024
OK but the background harmonies are giving me chills
This is a legit banger! Using humor too to deal with a serious topic. You killed it.
The therapist looked like Harry Potter lol
indeed
This has been on repeat the whole day. You never dissapoints!
Wow it's so incredible. I don't wanna know how many people actually relate to that. Thank you, Alec.
No naked women, no drugs, no curse. Just pure talent!
Honestly!! You can feel the creativity in his voice
He IS the shizznit
Also very good work of Israeli music production team 😊
alec benjamin and NF are the best about
@@RacoonBoiTheGamer Agreed!
I don’t know that it necessitated her going to therapy, but after a session and a half with my therapist she just sorta said, “I’m sorry, but I, uh, don’t think I’m qualified to help you… I can help you find someone else, though. somebody that can prescribe you medication…”
😂 Took me 24 years to find the courage to see a therapist, and immediately got rejected. I laugh about it now, but at the time it just triggered a whole new sense of helplessness.
This is officially my new favorite song. Excellent work, sir, as per usual. It seems like every time I’m going through something, you put out a new song that completely relates and makes my soul feel lighter. Thank you for doing what you do. Thank you for existing. ❤
Alec you are just great I don't know what else to say I've in therapy for 4 years 4 years sober today keep the great music coming bro
I'm going to be playing this on repeat for weeks 🫶🏻
Same I just discovered his music a couple of weeks ago I love his music :)
I'm already doing that, I've replayed it 5 times already 😅
@@Potterhead443 Me too, im completely obsessed 😂
This is amazing. It's probably concerning that this is kinda relatable, but it feels real. Being so hurt it hurts others.
Your songs are amazing. They're so different from anything else around in a great way. Comforting and entertaining. There's a reason you became my favourite musician so quickly, only a few months. So quick that some might say it's a different kind of beautiful hehe. ❤❤❤
I'm from Russia and I don't know English well, so I don't understand what you're talking about when I listen to your songs for the first time. but I like their sound, and when I watch the translation, I fall in love with your work even more. just today I subscribed to your TH-cam channel and it turned out that you have no less wonderful clips! good luck and inspiration to you, you are a wonderful musician.
p.s. I'm sorry if it's difficult to read the comment - I'm writing through a translator :')
No errors in this message, no worries lol.
Google translate to Russian: в этом сообщении нет ошибок, не беспокойтесь, лол
А что, в раше больше некого слушать? Как же киркоров, басков, лазарев? А то как Европа и США - так «НАТО хочет нас захватить, надо напасть на Украину», а как музыка, так нравятся западные артисты))) несостыковочка
This song makes me feel like I'd actually make for a good therapist. Emotional numbness would help me remain detached and analyse the situation from a completely logical and objective pov
I just knew it I was very confident
Alec can never made a bad song ❤
FINALLY THIS SONG CAME OUT
ALL THE COLORS ARE SO PRETTY AND CONSISTENT, always doing a perfect job with the video and dear lord, the song is such a great art piece like always
Such a precious work as always
Absolutely obsessed with this song. I remember when my therapist was having a bad day and we talked about how both of our days were crap. Miss her.
I honestly believe Alec doesn't have any bad song, he's just so talented.
“Secondary trauma, also known as vicarious trauma or secondary traumatic stress, is the indirect trauma a person can experience when exposed to images or stories of other people's traumatic experiences.”
Thank you so much for your music! It really helps me a lot when I feel like I am really going thru it! Right now this feels like my theme song!💜😫
You are our therapist, Alec. So incredibly talented. I've been listening to this song all day long, just another masterpiece 😎 and the video is really great, I love it! ❤
you're getting us out of therapy alec!! lo e this sm actually and love you even more ❤
Making every song catchy is talent. I love the therapy being represented in music!
I'll be honest, as someone who wants a job like therapy this song really helped me realize that there may be some cases that I may not be able to hep the client, but it makes me even more determined to help them ToT (ps. also please dont take this song down it really helped me mentally, and with motivation TvT)
YOOOOOOOOO YOU MADE MY DAY DUDE
RANBOO FAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel the same. Part of me also wants to be a therapist. I want to help. But sometimes hearing everyone's problems drags you down as well. It's tricky.
@@zelda1420 Well then good luck on your career choice!! I know you'll do great!!
@@x-yuma_studios-x716 Thanks! I appreciate it.
My cousin is a school councelor. I don't know what kind of stories her students had confided in her, but she doesn't look cheerful like before. I'm not trying to stop you from your dream. Just hoping that you would take care of your own mental health too when dealing with others'
WE GETTING INTO THERAPY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
I've been listening to this ever since he mentioned it on TikTok, and I absolutely LOVE it! I have 70% of it memorized already!
I love this so much! The music and video are amazing! Alec as the therapist is perfect!
This song, this music video, you, I love it all. Everything is incredible and I’m already obsessed.
Such a great song. I'm a therapist who also sees her own therapist, and Rodrigo, if you're out there reading this, thanks for putting up with me; I'm certain that I sent you into therapy, too! On a lighter note, looking forward to seeing Alec next weekend at SOMA.
This song feels like a metaphor for generational trauma, especially for children who play the role of "therapist" for one parent or the other or both. And how the therapist role gets passed down and each case gets worse, to a point where the "therapist" kid can't handle it anymore and seeks comfort and help in the next "therapist" in the next generation.
this song is a gem, let’s save Alec at any cost ❤️
Yes, yes yes Yes we should And yes we will.
Maybe people were so happy the day this song came out . Because the song is really beautiful. I am also looking forward to the new album. 🌹
Whenever someone likes my comment, the notification reminds me to return and listen to this masterpiece
welcome back !
@@AlecBenjaminMusic Thanks for making my day🥹
Love ya bro
Me and my friend Candice listened to your songs all the time hearing this song 2 years after she passed makes me feel like shes still with me your songs bring me comfort.. thank you for lighting up our world with your music Alec ❤
This guy is too talented, damn.
What a wonderful song. You never even think about these things can happen but everyone goes through things and needs people to talk to. What a beautiful concept.
Oh my gosh! This song is so good! Lifelong Alec Benjamin fan, and he never disappoints.
This song is incredible. So deep and so relatable. Thank you Alec for never disappointing your fans! I love you ❤
"Wish I could help you out, you'll have to be strong" and "I'm sorry but I thought I'd never see a case as bad as yours, don't think I have a remedy" hits hard when all the people you've vented to have absolutely nothing to say/suggest and are baffled how you're still here, very sorry for you as well. Leaving you with the "Life gets better" or "Take it one day at a time"
I absolutely love how Alec Benjamin can put such experiences into a great song.
I listened to your song, and I felt my chest tighten. I felt such pain and despair, sensing your loneliness and that no one can help you. Maybe I feel the same, and that’s why it resonated with me so deeply.
Wow, yet again, another cold blooded song from this young man.
I love everything about this song! I love the beat and the rhythm to it. I especially love the part at the end where the doctors doctor said he needed help now
i showed my mom your music the other day and she fell in love, specifically for "The Wolf And The Sheep" (the old unreleased song) because she related to it. I'm going to send this to my mom and I bet she's going to love it! and I love your music, you're an amazing artist!!
oh my gosh i love that song! its one my favorites
@@professsional_idiot ikr?? its so sad its unreleased and I can't listen to it on spotify :(
I don’t think I’ve loved a song this much for this long ever
i love that his therapist is him. does that mean something deeper?
Alec this is so different from your other songs a fresh new sound and i'm living for it. Going straight on my Spotify playlist 🥰🔥
Extraordinary voice + Beautiful lyrics = MASTERPIECE
He has the best songs cuz he tells an entire story just with his voice and music
I can't take my ears off of you! I haven't heard a song or watched a video that I didn't love or couldn't relate to. I discovered your music right before the hardest time in my life, and I honestly couldn't have made it through without you. Thank you and Bless you from the bottom of my heart.
I LOVE this song, you did an AMAZING job, Alec! Been on replay for 5 days straight. Love the beat and the musical instrument choice you went with. 🤘🏿
This song is so incredible. I swear I can't even express how smart this idea is, and how well the vibe of the music fits the theme. Love you as always Alec
I seriously can't believe I've been listening you for 6 years. This is what it's like to be a fan 👍🔥
This new sound is so amazing! I love it.
It's absolutely lovely and I've been waiting for it for so long. It is different but a good different and I love how all of his songs tell a story all are so beautiful. Absolutely lovely.
The beat in this song is a great one.
Something about Alec's songs is that they grow on you. Every one. I listened to this at first, and I thought it was pretty cool. Now I hear it, and I know how absolutely amazing it is.
This song hit me in more ways than one. I jammed but at the same time my heart hurt, the words are deep but that just makes the song all the more meaningful. Overall I loved it, just cried a little. Really a wonderful song ❤
Take a seat over there, on the chair by the couch
Tell me what you've been thinking about
There's nothing you can say that's out of bounds
You can trust me, swear I'm here for you now"
I've heard it all before, he took out his pen
But, as he wrote down each, each thing that I said
Oh, well the mood just changed
Started acting strange
This was our next exchange
He said
"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry but I don't think I can be
Of any help, think I need help now" is what he said to me
Might even need it more than me now, oh, the irony
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
"I'll tell you what, I'm sorry but I thought I'd never see
A case as bad as yours, don't think I have a remedy"
Think he needs help now, oh, the irony
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
(Therapy, therapy)
As I got up from the chair where I sat by the couch
He said to me "Could you sit back down?"
And I could see as I turned around
He really needed someone that he could talk to now
He said "Thought that I'd seen it all, turns out I was wrong
Wish I could help you out, you'll have to be strong"

I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up
I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up, I'm so messed up now
I'm so messed up, can't you see?
I'm so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

Thank you sm😊
You are such an incredible singer, I love your songs!!❤
The song "Is so so so good I can't stop listening to it."
I'm sharing this with my therapist! 🎉
Dear Alec i know you since i was 13.
You don't know but you gave me good memories
I'm happy you are growing.
This is by far the best song i have ever listend to alongside with the music video. Its lyrics hit harder than a truck and the video sequence captures your attention within first seconds. The only songs that can overshadow this one for me are new music from Alec, there is absolutely no match for this masterpiece. All of your art is amazing, keep it up. I'm completely mind-blown by this song and one of the most recent songs of Alec's called "Different Kind Of Beautiful", which hit quite hard as well.
This song sounds exactly like those I've heard many years ago when I fell in love with your music, Alec! The real art of storytelling. Gonna listen to this song many many times❤
Christmas has come early, boys!
you're literally such an underrated singer with great songs, like damn you deserve the recognition, love you man 💙
@AlecBenjaminMusic
I’m sure you’ve made millions of impacts on people’s lives. If I could tell you how you saved my life you’d never believe me. I’m forever thankful for you. A man I’ve never met….
why cant i stop watching it
