This really is such a theatre thing, but I absolutely love their different reactions to the song. Their little hand movements, how Blake is gesturing more, whereas Ben has his fists clenched. You can definitely tell that they're both amazing actors.

I love the contrast of the two. Blake is trying to hold in the emotions, smiling and biting his lip and just shaking his head like he can't believe it, while Ben is letting it out, his voice cracking and getting so overwhelmed he has to just calm himself. Both are amazing.

"But it all turned out great. Right?" gETS ME EVERY TIME

i love how the other guy is trying to be so optimistic and ben is just upset.

ben's expression when he said "right?" thooo ugh what a great actor

I STILL come back to this because the scene or the melody pop into my head completely unprovoked. Great song, great performance.

BEN MY ADORABLE DWEEB

This should´ve gone viral overnight...crazy planet we live in!

Yet, the Nae- Nae DID go viral...

I love hearing Ben Fankhauser sing, he always puts emotion into it and let's not even begin with his majestic riffs. I feel like he's an utterly amazing actor and I wish him this best!

This song is just so addicting. My ears can't get enough.

4 years later and the part that goes "the truth is i miss you just so you know...." gets me every time.

Seriously...there are a lot of musical theater songwriters in this day and age trying to make a name for theirselves and they all somehow end up sounding the same. You are not them. Your songwriting is phenomenal. It is totally new and your melodies are great! Keep it up and post more videos! I'm glad I stumbled upon this and can't wait to hear more!

Disney should make a new princess movie and cast Ben as the prince! He has a sense of power and hope in his voice. :)

I’m a little late, about 9 years late, but I’ve been listening to this on repeat for days. Beautiful song 🖤

the harmonies, so pure...like, it seems pretty basic to sing on tune and yet no one ever does it right...harder than it seems.they are seamless together

I just keep on listening to this 3 years later! 😍

This was breath-taking. Beautifully written. It makes me want to know what happens next in their story. Do they get back together? Do they stay apart forever? (Did not mean to rhyme there) And the performance was amazing. The singing, the acting. Everything was wonderful and now I only have my mind to help me imagine where these two started and how they ended. CONTINUE THIS! LET ME OUT OF MY MISERY!

I always comes back to this. Pure magic.

every time ben sings the G natural on 'great' i want to cry

I remember when Blake Daniels was the annoying guy who happened to be taking up all of things Ben could be singing but I've actually really come to love him

Don’t know if you look at the comments of your old videos, but can you help a poor gal and put a lower pitch karaoke of this song? I’ve always wanted to sing this song when I first heard it years ago.

that like to dislike ratio though
