    Everyone in the comments is talking about his newer music, but “Settle down”, “My mother’s eyes”, “Cause it hurts”, “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” and some others released about 3 years ago. He was dropped from Atlantic Records in 2016 and they took ownership of all his finished songs (which means he no longer has the rights too.) His newer stuff is good, but older stuff comes from the more emotional places of his soul. We now need a part 2.

    if you were to make a part 2 for Alec Benjamin, I would recommend listening to theses songs:
    Annabelles Homework - because it’s very descriptive like how 1994 is.
    Mind is a Prison - because it’s a newer song and it’s very personal to him and it has a lot of symbolism
    If I Killed Someone For You - it’s very metaphorical and his vocal range gets pretty high.
    Swim - just because it’s a great song and it sounds kinda different to the rest of his songs.

    he has this one song called 'if i killed someone for you' and the lyrics on that one hit HARD. First they're just confusing, but right before he sings the chorus one last time he explains everything and it's actually just really REALLY sad :c

    You should react to some of his others like;
    "Jesus in LA"
    "Mind is a Prison"
    "Steve"
    "If we have each other"
    or "Must have been the wind"

    when you do melanie martinez again please do fire drill it's really new like it came out a couple days ago. Anyway it's one of my new favorite songs by her. not to spoil it but I think it's for what happens after k-12 so maybe you should react to that before you react to more songs.
    like if you want him to react to fire drill :)

    I got to say I like the higher range in his voice too. Our school choir has literally no guy singing anywhere near alto now because they don't have that range. I'm shook lol. I love the descriptive element to it. His songs feel a bit less like poems and more like stories.

    You should do a part 2: These Two Windows
    It’s his newest album - it was just released May 29th
    You’ll find some very interesting songs on there
    The one you just listened parts of was called Narrated For You (idk if you knew :P), and was his debut album.
    You should definitely go check out some of his unreleased songs/demos, those are absolutely amazing.
    His songs are so relatable tho 🥺
    Some songs I suggest (both part of the albums and not):
    Match in the Rain
    Must Have Been the Wind
    I’m Not a Cynic
    Pretending
    My Mother’s Eyes
    The Knife in My Back
    The Last of Her Kind
    My Old Bicycle
    I know it’s a lot of songs haha and ik you wouldn’t do all of them but just some suggestions 😅
    Also, can anyone tell me whether he used his bicycle from My Old Bicycle in Water Fountain?

    "If you're leaving baby let me down slowly" With the video this hits really hard. It's like from the kids point of view. Instead of getting let down slowly and his mom telling him what was going on next thing he knew- she was gone to jail. "I can't stop myself from falling down."
    This is just my interpretation please DO NOT attack me. This song in my mind can be taken from several points of view along the lyrics. This just jumped out at me. If you know for sure the true meaning I'd really like to know or simply your personal take on it.
