I have this playing and my girl goes " hey what ever game ur playing has awesome music." Just my life baby.

This was on par with Porter's set for me! The amount of creativity and effort you put into decorating everything and building these little worlds was insane, for real you went so above and beyond. The music was so relaxing and fantastic too :)

Last Secret Sky, you won my heart the moment Porter played "Here On My Own". Now we got to hear you perform it. Ever since then, I'm dumbfounded by the sweet sounds you make. Please don't stop making music.

The academy awards should create a new category for musical short films because this was that good. I was screaming "WHAT?!" over and over at my TV watching this, out of sheer delight. So amazing seriously. You have a new fan.

One of the most beautifully complex, uninhibited, simple, unforgettable musical performances of all time. No words for this

My man just picked up a conch and started vibin on it like it’s 800 BC.

Why wasn’t this nominated for best short film?

Absolutely losing it at the "Y I HA" drum pad, truly the cherry on top of this amazing set

That taped off YAMAHA logo to spell YIHA, absolutely incredible LMAO

What an immaculate execution of creativity. I’m glad I got to see it play out live, and it was all my timeline could talk about the next day.

Saw this during the stream and I can't stop thinking about how incredible it was since. This was my first time hearing Swardy and I was absolutely blown away. The playfulness made it impossible not to be smiling like a little kid the whole time. Amazing!

Dude me and my wife were watching Secret Sky together, and every 2 seconds we were just like WHOOAAA! DID YOU SEE THAT?!? HOLY COW!!! You were by far my favorite set there, so well done!

I was chatting with a buncha random people I met at the Secret Sky virtual auditorium and when this came on, we all found ourselves shutting up and just sorta watching in awe of this and most of us had never even heard of Swardy before

Simply brilliant. Well done. Over 2 years later and I keep coming back. That's how you know its a masterpiece.

The level of creativity and beauty in this set was incredible. I enjoyed every second of it ❤.

swardy, that was super weird, I loved it.

Swardy 100% could have his own kids show and I would have my daughter's grow up on it.

I really wish you could release these versions of the songs. They add so much to the songs we already love, it's incredible!

For real this entire set was just so perfect,, I've never heard of swardy before this and my God I was blown away ! So fun and creative af I love it!

now this was one hell of a set. i think i find hearing a song live first is better than an album. it shows how an artist can be creative with their own work. a great set dude!

Ok but since 0:00 to 33:50 is my fave part But seriously, I love 4:35 so much. I'm so obsessed with here on my own here aaaaahhh 💓💞💞

Loved you at second sky !!! Everything from the set, to the costumes, to the MUSIC was AMAZING. Keep up the good work !

this has to be the most charming set I've ever seen

God this is something else. Thank you so much for being so amazing and showing just how talented and multi-faceted you are.

I think about this performance often. Swardy you're still a king. Amazing amazing amazing. All your projects.

I never comment anything on KZread. But man, I have to make an exception for 18:45 ; best 10 seconds of 2021 by far. Breathtaking set, makes me wanna create sooo hard. Keep up dude. Thanks for sharing our world with us. Take care.

This blew me away, one of the best, if not the best performance of the whole show! Thanks for uploading!

15:25 I've watched this so many times, but that thingy in the back still my favourite character

This perfomance made me cry, your mind is so so beautiful

Man I love rewatching Secret Sky was such a magical experience

So glad this came up recommended after checking out Porter and KKB's sets. Love the work and worldbuilding you put into this performance.

i had no clue what was gonna happen for this set when it first premiered and oh my god... the music, the set design, the costuming... my inner theatre kid is just out in full force. you are an artistic master swardy. tysm for this

A complete masterclass in artistry

Ben, from day one I've been your fan...but now THIS???? Is absolutely amazing. Masterpiece material. What a gift.

i listen to this song on the daily. Such a vibe. Lifts my mood instantly.

This is awesome. Laugh, cry, puppets, home by 10.

This...this is it. I don’t know what “it” is, but this is definitely it. Great performance man!

I wish I could give this another thumbs up every time I watch it again. The visuals are amazing but the vibes of this set are 💯 from start to finish. Loved this so much.

i’m glad you were the one playing when i randomly started to watch the live stream

I think this is the best set I've ever seen. Bravo

this is easily the best set ever

Absolutely Phenomenal

i think ive watched this like 30 times in the last week. CANT, GET, ENOUGH. This is a masterpiece. You are an artist.

Damn, I just found out about you, your music is fantastic, your harmonies are heavenly! I'm so glad I have you as a new artist to experience and fan the crap out of ;D

aww this was great to watch, ive never seen a performance presented like this. it was like watching a musical theatre performance without the dialogue - just beautiful vibes n music :)

What an incredible set, it was memorizing all the way through. IMO it was only missing ‘Ballyhoo!’ But I’m biased because I love that track.
