REAL he's actually an AMAZING singer. Too many singers these days have decent voices but just make the rest up for it with autotune, but as far as ik, that singing wasn't autotuned and it was great 🙌
@@Deevis123 does a michelin food critic know how to cook better than the chef? No. Although I can sing, I can also recognize when someone is flat. Listen again if you can't.
@@adam_g. ig that's true. i just said that cause u said it kinda bluntly and pointed out the negative in his singing only- I see where ur coming from ig in some parts, but he's still an amazing singer ❤🔥. Also ik critics are supposed to only point out the negatives in things, but imo the world has enough Gordon Ramsay's (aka this isn't a cooking show; ppl don't need to be judged sm- nothing against Gordon) especially on the internet, sometimes it's just nice to support ppl who deserve it like Benson. Not saying u were being a hater, just observant but in a kind of blunt way.
hearing his definition of this song makes it hit even harder. my grandma was my bestfriend. no one in this world understood me more than she did, and losing her was the hardest thing i've ever had to endure. sorry for your loss benson.
@@justahungryperson you don’t need to answer this, but, may i ask what your last name is? i know someone named Alexa and your probably not them but just wondering.
I interpreted the line "you took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces" as a double entendre. In one way, his heart is broken, but he's also left with his loved ones saying "rest in peace"
I stumbled upon this song randomly and fell in love with it This song holds a special place in my heart since the lyrics are super relatable June 28th 2014 my family and I were in a horrible roll over car accident that ended up taking my fathers life right in front of me Me being only 9 at the time i didnt understand what was happening and why he wasnt waking up, me and my sister were taken to our grandparents house and both of us cried our hearts out for god to spare his life. After he died I really didnt know what to believe in anymore and went through lots of hardships from then on it just hit the eight year marker a couple days ago and the pain still feels raw even after all these years. This song saved my life a couple times so thank you benson for all you do you help those around you without even having to meet them.
this song is so heartbreakingly beautiful! after loosing my twin boys as stillbirth, the lyrics really hit home for me... especially the "6 feets never felt so far" and "you took the best of my heart, and left the rest in pieces" ... favourite song by far!!!!
This is the kinda lyrics that you can find like a hundred different metaphores and meanings even from the most direct sentences. Love his songwriting and obviously his voice is insane❤
This song makes me so emotional. My granny died at the end of 2019 and I feel like she took all of me when she died. It's the one loss I've been through I don't think I'll ever get over.
One of my best friends growing up just passed at age 16. We grew up together by going to church almost every Sunday together for 8 years. This song has made me feel so heard because well, we always hung out at church and especially “you did your hair up like you were famous” hit hard because he loved his hair. He was constantly touching it and playing with it. I’ve never missed anyone this much in my life. Thank you Benson
This is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking songs i have ever heard in my life. The lyricism and the raw emotion in his voice touches the deepest parts of your heart. Hard to believe this guy is “new to songwriting” because the sheer talent is incomprehensible.
This hits me in my gut every time I play this song. It’s been 3 years since losing my Grandpa (my everything) and I still cry at least three times a week. This song has actually brought me a sense of peace and calmness that I can’t explain and I will be forever grateful for this ❤️
I don't know about you, but listening to him sing the words of this song just brings tears to my eyes. His ability to engage and connect with his listeners at an emotional level is just amazing. I guess all of us have lost someone very dear to us before and we can all relate to this song. This song reminds me that life is short too, and we have to cherish the people whom we love and care about as much as we can.
Just how you can change your voice for each different song of yours is crazy! Also your music helps tell my feelings and stuff, thank you! You r music is amazing!
My mom passed and it was the hardest on my oldest daughter! This song is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. My daughter feels so close to this song too because my mom always would say "Love you to the stars".
The first time I heard this song I bawled my eyes out. My cousin died almost 3 years ago by suicide. It was a shock to the when family and it was so hard to try and feel better after that
I lost my grandmother May 12, 2017 (7 days after mt birthday) to lung cancer. She was my best friend. She basically raised me. I loved her so much! She always had my back. I miss her so much! This song hits hard! Especially after hearing it's about losing his grandmother.
I can actually relate to this song a lot. Recently my great grandma passed away and I still have all of her beautifully written birthday cards. Crazy how $20 can mean so much.
My mawmaw passed away the beginning of this month and we decided to play this at her service, such a beautiful song. I feel like it perfectly describes the pain and love my family feels for my mawmaw. This song has been on repeat since she passed.
My great grandma passed away too a few years ago and I also called he gg for great grandma and I was really close to her and I missed her soo much and I cried so much I still cry and this song makes me feel more close to her so thank you
I’m glad to learn the meaning behind this masterpiece of a song! I feel you, lost my grandmother on my father’s side on the 13th of July, 2021 and I was devastated because it was the first loss of someone I knew really well :( This year, one more decease of a 58 year old woman who I knew well too hit me very hard too, but right now I’m just grateful I knew both for so long and they these two wonderful people didn’t pass away earlier.
This means so much to me even more now that I know what the meaning behind it is. I lost my grandma when I was 13 years old and 3 months before my grade 8 graduation and now I'm 18 and graduating high school. It has been really hard for me because I was her first grandchild and only granddaughter so we were really close and did so much together. I just wish she could have watched me graduate grade 8 in person but I know she was there watching over me and I know she will be with me when I graduate this year also 😭😭
This song connects with me so much. I lost my grandmother too not so long ago. From the first verse, it already reminded me of her. She was my everything. I'm happy I found this song because it describes perfectly what I'm going through right now.
this song is so emmotional for me too, my mom passed away 8 years ago 😢 "it's like i burried my faith with you" "six feet never felt so far" this is heart breaking , and i'm still holin' on too untill now.. and also i'm still asking to god whyyyyyyyyyyy 😭 thankyou benson for making this song
First time ever listening to this song and artist, and I just can't stop crying!! This was so beautifully written! Def a piece from the heart! True Love never dies! You can also feel all the emotions in his voice! I am blessed to have my grandma still, but I don't know for how long! She has dementia, and I'm trying to hold on to all of the memories for both of us, while she keeps losing them! But I know that the love and the memories that I am holding on will last a lifetime in this life and the next for us both!
Wow this hits harder hearing he wrote it about his great grandma that passed. I just heard this song a few days ago, only a week a bit after my nan passed away.
I love the song and I recently lost my aunt and I miss her so much and the part that melts my heart is “I’m still holding on too everything that’s dead and gone I don’t wanna say goodbye cause this one means forever now you’re in the stars six feets never felt so far here I am alone between the heavens and the embers””🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰
Benson has a beautiful voice and is such a talented writer. The story behind this song is tragic yet beautiful. Sometimes all we can do is try to live life the best we can, while holding on to those memories ❤
I have this song on my playlist for along time but it was just a song that i listen to nothing special until last week when i lost my grandma and l miss her so bad, then i listen to this song i started to tear up and it hit different , now that i know the fact that this song he written for his great grandma made it even more special.
Can't even sing this one through with tears streaming down my face. The chorus are especially hard as it really feels that way. Just a little over a year since I lost my grandmother in April and then my dad in June. Still raw that loss. But still In the stars are a brilliant song and Benson even more so. I hope to see he'll do a show in Sweden or Denmark soon so I can listen to all his songs.
I realize now that this song is a little old but I’m on my way to visit my papas gravesite and this song just started playing and I skipped it because I didn’t recognize it. Something told me to go back and just listen and when I tell you I started bawling my eyes out. My grandpa passed away last month and it’s been really hard for me. Such a beautiful song.
Oh my God, there is something in his voice, that timbre, that this guy is blessed with ! It's crazy enough to think that this raw version he's singing SITTING DOWN might I add is on par if not slightly better than his studio version. And he's still so young too, I think he's just about to turn 20 tomorrow. I cannot wait to see what more he has in store for us. Just keep soaring high, Benson. Love from 🇲🇾 !
After losing my grandpa 4 years ago, I always felt like a piece of me left too after losing him, and after listening to this song it became a very important song to me after all the memories I made with him since I was little
Lost my best friend and then a year later my mom. This song hits me on such a different level. Not to mention the talent Benson has. Singing just like the record version of this song. Love him, Charlie Puth vibes a little.
i could relate so much with this song . moreover he wrote it about his great grandma . my grandma passed away 2 months ago , and i grew up with her . i miss her, so much . see you in the stars , love :)
The little sad part is perfect with no background noise.I can hear the background music in my head.i can not listen to this song and don’t cry or sing to it😊😊😊
This song means so much to me because my grandpa died when I was 10 (I’m I’m 12 now) and we were super close it broke my heart and I preyed more but I was also questioning my religion and every time I have been to his grave I have just ugly cried and screamed not a day h he goes by where I don’t think about him miss you grandpa ❤❤❤
