I love BENEE's music, something about her style just resonates so much with me, I've never heard someone's music that just feels like it meshes with me

"Although my fears are real
The things I fear are not"
..might be one of the best lines in music in decades..

I'm a 34 year old South African black guy and when I bumped into this song on Spotify I felt like crying for no damn reason.. She sings with so much feeling and soul... â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸

I just read my journal when I was your age (now 74) and I'm with you on this stuff. I wrote "I wish there was someone I could talk to." well I talked to myself and now all these many decades later I made it and have so much empathy.

Fact: BENEE is making everyone's day so much better with her song

A stunningly accurate portrayal of what it's like to live with an anxiety/panic disorder/OCD. Right down to mini conversation with the second party towards the end of the song, with them not understanding why they are acting that way and almost coming off as annoyed/frustrated in them is 100% relatable.
"Why are you thinking these things?" (These things)
How do I even explain? (Explain)
"You're scared of almost everything" (everything)
I know and it's really a drain (a drain)
And the response is really accurate as well: it's almost resigned and gives the same energy back to the person asking the questions. Like almost asking back "do you think I wanna live like this?".
Those that live with these disorders know very well how it can feel when interacting with folks who don't experience it the same. Most of us have worked our whole lives trying to get to a point of being "normal" and "carefree" but have felt this way so long that anxiety and panic become "normal" and and the normal response just becomes avoiding everything for comfort (which is it's own way of being carefree but with way more negative consequences.)
So, to the outside perspective, they see a person they love doing nothing to help themselves get out of the hole they are in. But they also haven't seen all the effort they've taken in the past to help themselves and the failures along the way. Plus, the whole process absolutely is a drain! Why do you think it's so hard for them to work on themselves? Your body and brain being on red alert 24/7 takes everything out of you.
BENEE really hits the nail on the head with this one, and the song is beautiful as well. What a gem of young talent.

this song cleansed my soul, dried my tears, healed all my pain, and watered my flowers while it was at it

I don't think I've ever been able to relate to a song like this. I have really bad anxiety and other issues and this song just touches my heart. đ

LYRICS
Mmm, what's it like
To not have to think about it?
It seems nice
Not a care, so quiet
Maybe I'm consumed by my mental
Does it hurt me? Maybe, oh, well
If I medicate, would it help me?
'Cause I'm hurting, I feel unwell
You know how I feel
You've told me before
Although my fears are real
The things I fear are not
I know it doesn't matter
I know it doesn't matter
None of this even matters
I know it doesn't matter
I know it doesn't matter
None of this even matters
Check that
Have to check that the oven is off
This happens every night
Sometimes you tell me off
Maybe I'm consumed by my mental
Does it hurt me? Maybe, oh, well
If I medicate, would it help me?
'Cause I'm hurting, I feel unwell
You know how I feel
You've told me before
Although my fears are real
The things I fear are not
I know it doesn't matter
I know it doesn't matter
None of this even matters
I know it doesn't matter
I know it doesn't matter
None of this even matters
You say
"Why are you thinking these things?" (These things)
How do I even explain? (Explain)
"You're scared of almost everything" (everything)
I know and it's really a drain (a drain)
Hide under a pillow (pillow)
Something's at the window (window)
I'm too scared to check though
Now I'm crossing my fingers
Flicking off the switches
Is my house filled with witches?
What is my mind?
What is it like
To unwind?
What's it like?

This song has perfectly described how Iâve felt living with anxiety disorder and feeling so sad all the time.. i dont sleep well, I feel like Iâm losing so much.. I just want to be better, I want to make the people around me happy and not drag them down.. it hurts so much.. this song, âthis happens every night, sometimes you tell me offâ gets me so much. Had exact situations like that happen. Gosh this is so hard and I just donât know which way to go anymore and this song gets me bawling..

Benee sings whatâs in my head that I canât put into words but somehow she can

This video honestly makes this song even more beautiful

The way the emotional relationship between the two friends in the video was captured is so beautiful. So supportive and peace-giving.

I can have this on repeat all day. It's a sad song but it has such dreamy and nostalgic vibes, love it.

As someone who has long suffered from overthinking and anxiety I can totally relate to this song. Thank you for being so honest with your songwriting.

The fact that every song of BENEE herself addresses most of the peer problems nowadays. Damn, so accurate. She never failed to impress all of us. I love her way of expressing and delivery of message through lyrical process. T^T
