  • who ended up winning this comp?

  • I like this song:)

  • Kalki can't late friend. Because there is predestination.

  • late? why?

  • wtf! is that!

    some ppl r so weird...

  • I agree with the sentiment.

  • hot

  • Please tell me this is meant to be ironic. The song and video, that is.

  • the last verse is wicked.

  • lol, such a hypnotising song XD

  • ooo something creative. too much generic acoustic on youtube. dign the originality

  • Whoa. Interesting song. I dug it!

  • You are a wondrous talent!

  • NewsicDJ - Chosen For Second Edition

  • Though most of us wish Kalki would come early, would Kalki want to come early? That is the question!

  • its time, dude

  • wow that was awesome!

  • What an amazing song!

    5 stars!

  • you are fascinating

  • lol the buble works!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • am the walrus?

  • Pardon me for stating the obvious. (Ben Loka said so)

  • When I first listened to this I wasn't very excited. However, after repeating the experience several times, I found that I like it quite a lot. The lyrics are complex and oblique in a way that allows for multiple interpretations.

    I really like this line: "Their ears have failed to hear the sound/That runs through everything reality is not inhibiting"

    I also think it's quite sweet that there's video of Mandy while you're singing the line, "What I wouldn't give for one night alone with you."

  • its nice, the lyrics are genius, but not really my taste in music. however I really, really like your acoustic stuff that you've shown in some of your other vids.

  • the music is based on the limited home studio he has, this wicked melody can be made into any music genre and the awesome are actually REAL and RELEVANT unlike 99.9% of the crap we hear today

    GO BEN!

    I do music too, we will get together b4 2012 dude, you thinking what I'm thinking Pinky?

  • How do you know if he's based in a home studio?

  • that was cool. your lyrics rule!

  • I loooooove this!

  • trippy man. Reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins in a vague sort of way.

  • i love this songggg i think your a musicc genius.. u should definatley postt some more

    this is like.. the onlyyy origional song tht ive everrr likeee wanted to listen to overrrr bands like the killers or coldplayy

    great stuff

  • "So addicted to lust and life, when rubbing flesh can hypnotise,

    The sanest man to tears and thoughts he never thought he was capable of" (that whole part)

    LOVE that! That is simply amazing! How can one person have so many talents!? I want some! *LOL*

    I love the thing you did with the dotted lines on your wrist...It's simple but powerful. Awesome. :)

  • You know I love your stuff, this is no exception! However, I feel slightly schizophrenic watching it! *LOL*

    Love it BenLoka!!

  • Nice!

  • I love this song : ] the lyrics..<3

  • FRIDAY!!!!IT'S FRIDAY!!!!Okay, yeah, it's Saturday, but it feels more like a Sunday.

  • I *love* the song...the video is kinda boring.

  • wow. it grew on me. i loved it. but why so many effects? from what i've heard in your other video (especially the mac vs. pc where you did that cover of no doubt) you have an excellent singing voice. hm... ah well overall that was great! :D ily! -me-
  • "the sanest man to tears..." cool song

  • whats 'kalki'?

  • That was magnificent! Thanks so much for sharing that with us, BenLoka!

  • one of the best indeed, interesting direction

  • Wow ! Nice work, great use of transitions and FX. Remeber that you have angles you can shoot from. Talking right into the camera is silioquy and you may not always want that. Smiles ;>)

  • Hi i wanted to ask u are u gay because u look kinda gay too me

  • Hi I wanted to ask you if you have checked the definition for Gay in the dictionary recently rather than thinking so stereotypically about it.

  • I would say he is generally quite happy. Nice of you to pick up on that, he is a wonderful fellow because of it.

  • I just figured out who you remind me of. The voice...the accent....the hair......Dude, you ARE James Blunt.

  • cool

  • Dig it. Weird & cool.

  • You really surprised me with how good this song was. Everything about it. The music, the lyrics, the singing.... I mean really. Wow.

  • This could almost be a reply to fiona Apple's paperbag, when she sings "He said it's all in your head, i said, so is everything, but he didn't get it"

  • Ben! I love your stuff, but you should stop looking at yourself on the computer and look at the camera, instead.

  • Haha, Ben you're silly. I like the song. It's really trippy.

  • Hey, you kinda look like Weird Al Yankovich!

  • i actually liked it.. maybe a little less effects, and you know something a bit more raw it would be totally awesome

  • Haha! Those effects were, like, *so* iMovie! XD But you used them quite well. Good job. :)

    On the song on its own... well, I liked it, but I guess it's not really my thing. Far too many effects. I like it... raw. :P I do know you have a wonderful singing voice, so I just don't see the need to hide it behind all those effects... oh well. I'm not a modern musician by any means, I guess.

  • I want to download this sooo bad.

  • :/ Not a fan of it to be honest. Too alternative for me. x'D

  • its a true test of a fan, to sit through this entire video

  • Ben , you're a legend, and you sort of look like Dave Groul form the Foo Fighters :D

  • Hey Ben, Thanks for submitting this! Nice work!

    Paul

  • lol

    you are just what i need when i feel depressed(which can be quite often)

    ...so keep them comin'!!!

  • This girl phoned me the other day

    She had not much to say

    Except that everything she had was gone

    Not much reason to carry on

    But then I just smiled and said

    Your depression is in your head

    So is everything I guess

    (pardon me for stating the obvious?)

    <-- ahaha thank you! I was trying to figure out that part! Brilliant :-P

  • Oh Ben, you are a funny one. Keep it up.

  • i like your sound... are the other's like this?

    AND

    who's on production? did you make the beats?

  • There are many! Check the links at the side for links =)

    I produced and recorded it all myself. In my bedroom. It was done on a cool programme called Cubase using midi sequencing and a drum loop I created

  • cool, i work on logic platinum and a triton key board... let me know if you're ever in need of beats or perhaps a different type or something.

    i do mostly pop and hiphop similar to what you'd find on mtv or something but i do like to branch out from time to time to keep my ears fresh.

  • I love it! :] It's really sounds great...

    And when I red that he wrote about 300 of songs, I just hit the ground under my desk with my jaw :]

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaand, i thought the song was by BenFM? xxx

  • i am glad i watched this, as i didn't know i was in it. wooooooooooooooo, bathtime at bubble works. it was quite scary watching without any sounds, you looked like you were going to strangle someone. and it upset me that i couldnt hear the song, regardless of the fact i've heard it before. you have a 'tache n a beard! do u always have that?keep it! anyway, in short, yayyyyyyyy, ur amazing like scones and cream! byeeeeeeeeeeeeee xxx

  • You're amazing like sugarpie hunnybunch!!

    This is a benfm one YES!

    I've shaved all of it off this week, it shall return tho.

    Oh and I must post the full chessington extraveganza up soon =) xxx

  • i think you should make me a sugar pie and i still don't believe honey bunches exist! in the chessington vid can you superimpose a pic of me with makeup on over the real me with no mkaeup on whenever im shown in the video? thanks xxx

  • Nice. Sounds like a cross between Duran Duran's song "Sing Blue Silver" and Ween's entire "The Mollusk" album.

    Check it out on Amazon to hear what I mean.

  • Great man, reminds me of a lighter Marlyin Manson. Brillant Ben, u should be a youtube partner.

  • Thanks mate, I wish!! And thats an excellent title, a light MM! I might adopt it! =)

  • Interesting! 300 songs is sure a lot! Heh, one little criticism I would have is that when you repeat "memories" all those times it sounds a lot like "mammaries" to me... probably not what you were going for... :P

  • Awesome job! All I have to say is " YAY FOR iMOVIE"

  • Good song. I also liked the description. "So here is a video for one called 'Kalki Late' for you to put in your ears." hehe. You make me happy. :]

  • got some talent thats for sure!

    loved it!

  • I like it

  • Wow, I really loved this!

    I wish I could download it. :p

  • This is awesome! This is definitely radio material. :) Good work on the video, everything was fine except the parts where it looked too "youtube" (I mean when it looked like an ordinary online video journal). Hope you don't mind a little criticism.

  • THanks very much! and a little constructive critisism is always good =)

  • Hmm . Why is it you remind me of Justin Warfield from She Wants Revenge ? xD haha

  • wow...good song man

  • trippy

  • do you have anyplace where we can download the song??

  • Not yet, but check out my myspace. its the myspace website slash benfm =)

  • Okay I am now addicted to this song.

  • xD I want lyrics and such! Definitely grows on you!

  • im sorry to tell u ben but u are a god

    FUNNY

    AND MUSICALLY TALENTED

    *nominates to be god*

  • I accept!

  • brilliant song there.

    some of that footage looked suspiciously like a ride at Chessington.

    btw the multiple vocal layers were used very well

  • Thankyou! and aha! your suspicions are most correct =)

  • Hey man I thought that was really good! Do you have a myspace or anything for your music?

    Well I'd love to see more on here anyway!

    Dave. =)

  • Hey Dave, I do! Its myspace dot com and then slash benfm! Sorry I have to spell it, comments forbid linkage!

  • I loved thissss!

    xx

  • I think the song is good, but having seen your other videos, it's so hard to take it seriously. Imagine if you knew Munyard as a comedian before hearing any of his music.

  • I can see your point of view. Although Maynard and the perfect circle gang frequently dressed up as nerds and mimicked monty python, so I guess it works both ways. All I can say is we all have two sides. This is a 'variety' channel as I've named it, so expect the unexpected! =)

  • AAAAAAAAH HATER!!!!!! *runs for cover*

  • wow that video was just incredible! All the effects and such a wkd song with it. Loved it!

  • Thanks Laura! =)

    And that means a lot coming from you - you're the effects master!!!

  • Yes ofcourse! :D Umm was that meant for me? :p Anyway the flying cow... brilliant! You were good but the cow, WOW!! :p

  • That was fab! Five stars!

  • you continue to amaze me benloka. a man of many talents.... once again THIS VID IS AMAZING!! please do more music vids...(though not more that your normal ones, they're awesome)

  • I like it, post more!

  • i loved this, it was positively brilliant! The concept and the song is quite engaging. I watched it twice so far =D

  • Hahahahahahahaha... I'm not sure if this was meant to be funny, but it made me laugh. XD

  • Nice job mate! 5*

  • nifty sounddd.

  • Pretty good song. :)

  • I'm diggin' it

  • haha the rain was awesome. your music is sort of trippy/heroic/melancholic/tran­scendentalist/ppsychedelic/fun­kadelic... if that makes any sense.

  • Ooh great description, I like it!

  • not diggin' it.

  • yay i'm so glad u decided to put a song up. i'm sure u got many requests besides mine on ur other video.

    this was insane! i love it! what program did u use for the effects?

  • this is genius

  • Cubase doe music effects, iMovie for visual! I got IMovie free on the Mac, I love it! =)

  • ay, really? my imovie doenst have any of those effects :(

  • It's the old version. If you have the new version, you can get it for free on the apple website. Just search for iMovie HD. (It's much better than the new one for effects!)

  • ooh thanks ben, u rock!

  • I LOVE IT.

    <3

  • pretty trippy. love it.

  • wow, ben. amazing music video! do more, do more!

    clicks the replay thingie

  • omgsh he has awesome humor...AND he can write decent songs....YAY!!! =DD

  • that was really good. i liked it.

    did he mae this with GarageBand??

  • The song was recorded using Cubase, the video with iMovie =)

  • I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! YOU ARE FRICKIN AMZING AT EVERYTHING! lol that is all.

  • I got some kind of 80s New Age acid trip vibe... in a good way? Great job!

  • Ben, that was not my cup of tea, but it was really interesting and reminded me of Depeche Mode and Gary Numan. I hope to hear more soon.

    The video part probably takes a long time, so if you just want to post songs and a slide show that would be fine.

  • hey that was amazing. loved it.

  • you remind me of serj Ttankian, you know, the dude from s.o.a.d

  • Aah yea! I love his facial hair! and his voice =)

  • Awesome :)

  • cool song dude. :)

  • Reminds me of songs I write on my keyboard, kinda weird and techno. Good job. I would put it on my ipod. =D

  • i really like it, don't forget to put up the lyrics :)
