Alec Benjamin - Gotta Be A Reason

[Music video idea]Intro- alec singing in an alleyway at night_walking down to the burial ground with a sad song in his brain. General cloud is an old man now but it feels like yesterday_ an old man walking to a burial ground with flowers, tears in his eyes_he was on the front lines stranded on the beach crawling to his bestfriend, floating in the sea_ flashback to him as a young man screaming and calling for his friend, who is floating in the ocean, dead_but he didnt make it he still can believe how arbitrary fate is he says_ back to him at the burial ground, sinking to the ground and placing the flowers on the grave_theres gotta be a reason that I'm hear on earth, gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirtThe changing of the seasons doesnt change my hurt, so what's it's worth what's it worth_ I picture the man yelling/screaming this at his friends grave, as if he feels its unfair he lost him and had to watch him die. Hes angry and feels like his friend died in vain_with another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in_ the old man drinking at a bar with his head down low, very sad_If we're going down together better take another hit, you wont be here forever so let's make the best of it_ the ghost of his dead friend (still a young man in his uniform) telling this to him, basically saying "I died so that others could live" and that hes disappointed in his friend for just wasting his life away in a bar_ooh ooh ooh_ just back to alec in the alleyway _she went down to her job in town with a sad song in her heart_ the scene changes to a young woman riding the bus to her job listening to music with her eyes closed_33 with a wasted dream to become a movie star_ flashback to her leaving home, then flashback to her auditioning and getting rejected_living outta a suitcase, serving at a bar saving up some pennies, working after dark_ her working and at her small apartment _is she gonna make it, she still cant believe how arbitrary fate is, she said_ she finally gets angry and throws a cup on the ground and turns to her customer, the old man from before _theres gotta be a reason that I'm here on earth gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt the changing of the seasons doesnt change my hurt so what's it worth what's it worth_ the lady is crying to the old man who only nods along, understading how the girl feels_with another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in_ the lady grabs a bottle of alcohol and takes a drink before slamming it down on the counter_if we're going down together better take another another hit, you wont be here forever so let's make the best of it_ the old man calmly sharing the knowledge from his friend to the girl while she slowly calms downREST OF THE SONG IS JUST ALEC IN THE ALLEYWAY SINGING WITH RANDOM FLASHES TO THE 2 BECOMING FRIENDS AND THE MAN TELLING HER STORIES ABOUT HIS LIFE AND SHE AUDITIONS FOR SHOWS AGAIN AND DOES GOOD_IF YOU USE THIS IDEA FOR A COMIC OR ANIMATION OR VIDEO OR ANYTHING PLEASE CREDIT ME INSTAGRAM- chaotic.yoot.cosplaysTIK TOK- ChaoticYootCosplaysYouTube ChaoticYoot Cosplays_

I'd love for Alec to collab with NF.

No matter which song of his it is, there's at least one part of it, that we can always relate to *sigh*

There’s gotta be a reason my life will be a living hell in school

Wow! Your voice is so good!

알렉은 내 인생 가수다

Me making a music playlist and seeing what songs I like the best out of all his songs and then choosing all of them

This must be in the walking dead

Darn it now I won’t be able to sleep my existential crisis has reawakened ;~;

This song makes me cry but it makes me happy... I went on a school trip this year to Berlin and I was in a very bad state of mind. This song, with “if we have each other”, was what actually helped me carry on while I was at my worst. And I really can relate to the second verse about the wannabe movie star, it’s my dream to become an actress but I fear it won’t work because of my parents, which is one of the main reasons why I keep crying listening to this amazing art piece.❤️

My fav singer 💜💜💜

For some reason this song reminds me of the scene in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 where Gwen dies.

I loaded this video up to make a comment about Alec’s favourite numbers, now I got distracted listening to the song and don’t feel like it any more, That’s some powerful shit right there

This is modern poetry ❤️🎶

You're the most talented and handsome singer in this world Keep being successful....😎Win infinite awards and be everyone's inspirationYou're not a star but a huge Sun be more successful god bless you😍😘😎

I think...This song is what's keeping me alive. It helps with panic attacks, heartbreak, anger and everything. This is the song that inspired me to cut my hair in my bathroom at 1 am and I'll always remember that.

My best friend, Hayden, showed me this song, he loved it, so I’m willing to bet it was his favorite song. R.I.P. to him 😭😭😭😭

Alec is so cute ❤️

Some of my fav songs are out running karma and gotta be a reason and Annabelle's home work and if we have each other and at the beginning I did not know alec made if we have eachother

Alec benjamin is the best singer IN.THE.WORLD

Just wanted you to know that I was here when you're still underrated. I've been such a wreck these past few months. This song was all I needed, thank you.Edit: I wish I had money for your shows 😭

Alec and Troye need to collab ASAP!

Alec’s songs are like “humans of New York” with music... beautiful lyrics

My ROBLOX friend: Listen to this songMe:
