    Just when you think “there’s no way he can keep cranking out bangers,” Ben Rector does it yet again.

    Mr. Ben... your voice and talent are a gift from God. Many have probably said it, but just so you remember: I appreciate your transparency and sincerity. I can't wait for you to release more songs. I'll be honest, in duets, I just skip the other people to listen to your voice.

  • @davenportn

    So, I share a lot of your songs with my high schoolers. I teach here in Costa Rica, and a lot of my kiddos have fallen in love with your music and lyrics. We've been in a lock down for quarantine since March, my seniors are having a difficult time with this, but February we get to have school in person again....this song will be played loudly in Mr. D's science class for sure. Thanks for inspiring.

    Been sitting in front of my keyboards, guitars to the side ...playing and waiting...but I'm at risk because of my age...Church shut down..my musician friends just sitting home. We've played once since March and had to separate by 30feet..church rule..and outside. I'm praying for this to end and I'm just hoping what you sang will happen..the best is yet to come. Nice song

    Ben, with each song that you write, I almost always get chills. This song is no exception-- the chord progressions, too!! I'm also so pleased that you fit in the word "menagerie" into your lyrics (wow!!). Would love to be able to see you live one day 💛 Happy New Year's, everyone :)) hoping everyone stays happy, healthy, and warm.

      He is awesome, but Jesus Christ is the gift we don’t deserve. Never put a man at the status of God. Ben is definitely fulfilling God’s purpose for him. Keep it up!
      Also, yessss. This will be my 2021 anthem.

    I just read all the comments that are currently present-according to TH-cam there are 90 comments. and comment is sooo kind, not a single negative or rude comment!! We’re all hyping you up, Ben!!! Honestly, I felt encouraged by the encouraging comments and they’re not even about me haha! Multiple people commented that you are a gift and you truly are! You created yet again another masterpiece!! It’s simple, perfect, beautiful, and uplifting! Your beautiful voice, amazing musical abilities, and incredible and refreshing song lyrics always leave me in awe (and I’m not just saying that-I mean it)!! Thank you Ben, for sharing your wonderful God-given gifts with the world! Someone commented that we don’t deserve you and all you share, although that may sound kinda extra, it’s true! May God continue to fill your heart with His love, joy, hope, and peace! I hope and pray God will continue to move your heart to create, write, and share your amazing gifts with the world! Thank you for being you!

    You're one of the best kept secrets of the 🌎. I hope to keep enjoying your love of music. It's that feel it deep down kind of stuff. Meaning, craft, passion and whit. In a world full of chart topping garbage I'm glad you make that sweet sweet music. I can't tell you how many songs of yours I've been listening to and then finally caught the lyric's meaning and sobbed. Thank you. Happy new year Ben. Keep putting good in the world. ♥️

  • @marymoser3396
    @marymoser3396 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ben, true story:
    I discovered your music in March or April of 2020, close to the start of COVID shutdowns. (How I never heard of you until then, I'll never know!)
    Between a global pandemic and personal heartbreak and disappointments, 2020 was one of the worst, weirdest, and most painful years of my life. But I am not exaggerating when I say your music helped carried me through it all. I must have played your albums "Magic", "Brand New", and "The Walking in Between" on repeat a hundred times by now. They gave me the space I needed to mourn the losses, look back on the good times with gratitude instead of bitterness, realize that change (though painful) is necessary for growth, and have hope that the best was yet to come (even if the future looked different than I expected).
    Thank you for giving me the soundtrack I needed for 2020. I can't wait until music venues reopen so I can see you in concert.
    Happy 2021!

    @penzack 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much, Ben. So many of us suffered in 2020, whether it was job loss, or being sick with covid-19 or having someone in our lives that died from COVID-19. We all needed to hear this so we can move on and leave all that pain and stress behind.
