Once upon a time
There was a boy
He was from Phoenix
He wrote his own music
Record labels didn't like that
He wasn't a mouthpiece
So they dropped him
He kept making his own music
And he released his first independent album last year
But we knew him already
We showed our support for him
Every song this boy writes
Must be done with a golden pen
Proud to have such a relatable artist
Repping the 602
Keep up the good work Alec Benjamin.

I was abused as a kid by some adults close to me. When I was 13 we had a big fight because I fought back, our neighbor came up and asked if everything was okey, he continued to ask every other day for about a month. The worst thing i've ever done was to tell him everything was fine and just closed the door behind me. The last time he knocked my abusers had gotten irritated and thought something was up and so I just wanted him to go away so when he knocked on our door I yelled him and told him i thought he was ugly and just said a lot of nasty stuff to get him to leave me alone.He looked hurt and never knocked on our door again. I still regret it to this day, and after listening to this I'm actually planning to go back there and knock on my old neighbors and thank him for checking on me, because even though he didn't get me out of there he was kind enough to tell me he was there if I needed it and knowing someone saw me was actually something that helped me so much mentally.

Here’s why I love this song and cry almost every time I hear it:
1. In the song, he’s not pressuring/perusing the girl to leave the guy she’s with right now
2. He doesn’t come to poking around in her business when she’s not comfortable talking about it, but checks up on her when he can to make sure she’s doing okay
3. Instead of offering her “love” from himself as a way to escape her pain, he offers himself as being a friend (emphasis there) that she can lean on and talk to when she’s ready
I am positive Alec Benjamin doesn’t just write songs, but writes entire stories with his words 💖
