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.

Why wasn’t this nominated for best short film?

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

This is kinda like Sesame Street mixed with the chillest psychedelic vibes. Either way it’s funky fresh and I loved it. Thanks Swardy

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

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

I come back to this set like once a week and I still can't get over how sick it is.

HOW am i only hearing about this now. I was smiling the entire time, this is one of the purest, most enjoyable expressions of creativity I've ever witnessed. I will be sharing this with all my friends and family at once! Thank you so so much for this Swardy

4 months later and I still listen to this set at least once a week at work.

3 years later and I am still watching this performance a least twice a week. It is my absolute favorite because its creativity and good music, It will always live rent free in my mind.

No joke, one of my top 10 favourite sets of all time. Gonna be listening to this for fuckin years.

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

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

Swardy is so underrated. His music cheers me up like nothing else.

no joke, you should press this whole set into a vinyl. it's just that amazing, i listen to this on at least a weekly basis 😭

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 💓💞💞

This was so incredible to experience in VR, it fitted the theme of the auditorium so well! Such playfulness and creativity ❤

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

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.

My cousin shown me this beautiful piece of music you have gave us. I for sure am subbing thank you so much for this, will be sharing to people I know.

Thats some siiiiiiick art direction. Kudos to everyone involved. This was my favorite set of the night, i'm so happy I can relive it as many times as I want. 🤩🤩🤩

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!

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

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.

Man I love rewatching Secret Sky was such a magical experience

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

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

The team that was assembled for this is 1 in a million. I hope they do or have done more work together ❤

One of favorites during secret sky

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

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

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

Man this set gave me chills. I'm getting tired of performers doing their set in front of a green screen with graphics in the background. The whole concept of this set is totally unique. Well done man!

this is easily the best set ever

Your music emanates a warmth I haven't heard anywhere else 🥰 Thank you for being the beautiful human you are Swardy! ❤️❤️✨

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

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.

Looking back at it this gives me so much Hurry Up We’re Dreaming vibes

Saw this in VR during the festival. Thank you, Swardy, for the thirty minutes of utter amazement that I got to share with complete strangers over the internet

This on psicodelic are so beautifull made me cry, having a goodtime with my real homies, thanks swardy for such amazing vybe

Such an incredible set, still glad that I got to catch it live. I wasn't sure what to expect at the time, but the set was so good, and such an amazing effort on the lively visual design as well. I still find myself coming back to it every so often. Absolute masterpiece at a time when we needed it most, well done Swardy!

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

I can’t believe I’m finding this now. This whole production, all of the music, it’s so beautiful and moving. It only feels like 5 minutes have passed, absolutely stunning work!

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 :)

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

Truly one the most creative things I've ever seen and loved it so much. Thank you for all the love and care you put into your art. Was very proud to have one of your first embroidered sweaters while watching this.

best set of the night imo, art in itself

holy smokes what a world and sound, late to the party i was just listening to the space jams mix again, checked the soundcloud page and saw the ep repost, got to see this beauty wow! triumph!

A complete masterclass in artistry

Wow. I haven't ever been this amazed by a live performance/set in a hot minute. Just a happy bearded man showing his true love for music.Thank you for set, Swardy.

This is insanity. I love it. Sad I missed it during Secret Sky but so glad you uploaded it! Really enjoying the time, effort, and creativity you've put into it
