I was homeless for abit 2 years ago and ended up renting a room in a run down house with holes in the roof, no heating and damp, which was clearly illegal but it was a place to stay, I got a hamster as it was the only pet i was allowed and called her Evie for a while she was the only thing I had in my life that I could love and care for, I made sure she had everything and was spoilt, she's still alive now and living life in a large cage with everything a hamster needs and wants (I did my research) she's still alive now but we have gone through everything together, I know I sound sad writing this about a hamster but for a while she was all I had to keep me going, we are out of that run down room now, and have a nice home but this song reminds me of her and the hard times I've gone through with her by my side, il be gutted when she passes on but this song will always remind me of her/us ❤️

There are some times when I just break down and cry when I hear this song. Michael's voice is so exquisitely beautiful in every single way, yet tantalizingly eerie and awe-inspiring. Despite my age, I feel as though it was just yesterday when he went on this stage and sang this song. It's so fresh and new to me, even though I've known it all my life. In some ways, I can find relations between this song and Michael himself. "With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone" is one of the most tear-jerking sentences. Especially as a teenager, he was desolate. He needed a "friend to call his own", yet no-one was ever there for him. He was lonely and burdened at such a tender age, and the public speculated nothing. Even though there is nothing that can change that now, I would like to say a couple things, most of which are directed to Michael. First off, thank you for the music. Thank you for spreading your message of love and helping others. There are endless things I could say about the emotion you pack within your words: the joy, the sorrow, the hopelessness, the hope, the dreams, and the childlike wonder. Even though I cannot help now, I will do my best of protecting your rights even after death (whether it be staged or not), and I will always spread the L.O.V.E. to everyone, just as you would have wanted. Thank you to the user who published the video, and I hope you all have a beautiful day. Please spread the L.O.V.E. and Heal the World.

MJ said the lyric 'I used to say I and me, now it's us, now it's we' was the most moving song lyric he'd ever heard. Just because an artist doesn't pen the song doesn't make it any less their song. Nor can they be classed as 'stealing' a song if the song rights for other artists to use it are there🤷♂️

TODAY IN MUSIC Michael Jackson's hit single "Ben" was released on this day in 1972. The theme song to a horror film of the same name, "Ben" was originally supposed to be performed by Donny Osmond, but he was on tour when the track was to be recorded, resulting in Berry Gordy successfully lobbying for Michael Jackson to step in. Since the movie was about a boy and his pet rat, and Michael was known to collect exotic pets including a number of rats, the song and the singer made a perfect pair. The song was MJ's first #1 solo hit, making him the third youngest solo chart topper behind Stevie Wonder and Donny Osmond. "Ben" also won a Golden Globe for Best Song, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. [07/12/2022]

This was my favorite song when I was little. Hands down. The 90's when everyone was going crazy over the newest boy bands and newest pop artists, grunge, rap... I was listening to MJ & The J5. No wonder why everyone called/still calls me an old soul 💕 I was definitely born in the wrong era! My brother had a garage band and I got on the mic one day and chose to sing this song 😊 RIP Michael! Beautiful soul 🙏

I saw "BEN" opening day when I was a kid. This song should have won the Academy Award but it lost to "Morning After" from "The Poseidon Adventure." So many people have no idea this beautiful song is a love song about a killer rat that lived in the sewer.

I had a dog named Ben. He recently passed at 15 yrs old. This song means so much.
So sorry
I'm sorry for your loss
To have that much talent, poise, and presence at age 13/14 is mind-boggling!
Without question. He had 2 top 50 hits in 1972. Crazy.
This song has been breaking my heart for over 50 years!
This is a song about true friendship and loyalty. Heart melting song. I love you Michael Jackson🖤🖤🖤
Michael Jackson will never die. He is truley one of a kind with no competition always and forever

His Voice is Magic which made him star!
Heard the song on the 1972 Ben movie & now can’t stop hearing it. So beautiful & sweet 💘❤️ RIP ❤️🙏🏼
My Favorite Michael Jackson Song Ever..
i love all his song from that era
This song is about a rat, loved by an abused young teen; & rat returns that love. MJ at that tender age captures ALL the deep emotions of a mature veteran singer. He’s truly a born entertainer that no one can eclipse.

I was never a MJ fan , but what was he here 13 or 14 ? And there is no denying his talent at this age was most likely unmatched worldwide. He was quite passionate as he sang this tune. I did absolutely love he and McCartney doing the girl is mine. Another Masterpiece.
Yes he was 13 going on 14. But he was still part of the Jackson Five. He was 11 when he performed "I Want You Back" with his brothers.
One of mj's most beautiful songs ever. It deserves so much praise.
Still brings tears to my eyes. Stunning beauty thank you Michael Jackson you are missed. 💔
but the young boys in california are alot safer though....
@@julianciahaconsulting8663 now all they have to do is get rid of the Catholic Church.
Wtf are you talking about?!!
I saw Michael do this live before he went solo & was still touring w his brothers. Half the audience was on their feet in tears -- including all kinds of macho men who were seated with their heads in the hands absolutely sobbing. Live --- too beautiful & so-o-o-o powerful there are no words. Easy to see how MJ sold out thousands of stadiums during his career.

Was this about his pet rat? I know he loved animals
@@DJK-cq2uy, this was the theme song to the 1972 horror film "Ben", which was a sequel to "Willard" (1971). Ben was basically a killer rat.

One of the greatest love songs ever written
Super great song Michael unbelievable talent gone too soon we still have his music videos and the music he wrote Ben is one of my favs
Michael Jackson is with me in my heart forever
I used to sing this song to my sweet pup Ben, who died yesterday. We put him to sleep due to old age and he was starting to have too much weakness and pain moving around. My heart is breaking, I feel so lonely without him he was by my side for 15 years.
Sorry for your loss. I too, had a dog named Ben. He wandered in as a three month old pup, full of ticks. His name is derived directly from this song. I sang it to him all the time.
My late puppy brought me here.
My brother Ben who was born in October 1972 was named after this song. It was my mom and dad and my grandma's favorite Michael Jackson song. My Italian American grandma loved Michael as much as she loved Elvis. She knew the words to many Thriller songs, (we would sing them together!) and like me, she would get so excited when his MTV videos came out, and sometimes we would watch them together. She died in the late 1980's. Michael, thanks for my lifetime of great memories!
My 16 year old chihuahua mix named Ben is what brought me here.
THIS SONG ALWAYS GETS TO ME 😢😢😢😢AND THE COMPASSION AND HEART HE PUT INTO THIS WE FOREVER LOVE AND MISS YOU ETERNALLY MICHAEL R.I.P WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Michael's music was always inviting you to place you are appreciated! A place you can dance, cry and just be yourself!
Before Beat It and Bad, there was Ben to make a hit. R.I.P MJ.
ALSO there are Michael's golden years with the Jackson 5 song wise. though his experience in those years would have deep repurcussions later in life.
Boy this song brings back some memories I remember the first time hearing this song in a drive-in a drive-in theater in case you young kids don't know what that is you used to be able to drive your cars into a theater sometimes you watch movies sometimes you didn't but anyhow what an incredible young man brings back some memories thank you for sharing this I had a moment.
I played this for my 26-y-o daughter last night. It was the first time she ever heard it. She just cried like a baby. All she could say was, "The voice of an angel." Can't argue that point.
I brought a hamster yesterday and I named him Ben in honor of this song🐹❤❤😘😘
No one will ever top him as my favorite artist!! Freddie mercury close 2nd
There are some times when I just break down and cry when I hear this song. Michael's voice is so exquisitely beautiful in every single way, yet tantalizingly eerie and awe-inspiring. Despite my age, I feel as though it was just yesterday when he went on this stage and sang this song. It's so fresh and new to me, even though I've known it all my life. In some ways, I can find relations between this song and Michael himself. "With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone" is one of the most tear-jerking sentences. Especially as a teenager, he was desolate. He needed a "friend to call his own", yet no-one was ever there for him. He was lonely and burdened at such a tender age, and the public speculated nothing. Even though there is nothing that can change that now, I would like to say a couple things, most of which are directed to Michael. First off, thank you for the music. Thank you for spreading your message of love and helping others. There are endless things I could say about the emotion you pack within your words: the joy, the sorrow, the hopelessness, the hope, the dreams, and the childlike wonder. Even though I cannot help now, I will do my best of protecting your rights even after death (whether it be staged or not), and I will always spread the L.O.V.E. to everyone, just as you would have wanted. Thank you to the user who published the video, and I hope you all have a beautiful day. Please spread the L.O.V.E. and Heal the World.
The Centimeter Initials ~ Beautifully said and I couldn't agree more. This performance gives me chills always…and sometimes tears.
Could not have said this better myself but you took the words right from my head
I was about 7 years old when this song came out...I cried like a baby! Such soulful, heartfelt lyrics moved me then, still moves me now. I still cry sometimes when I listen to Ben. You’re were One in a Million Michael: RIP Sweet Man❤️
My late son (another Michael) loved this. Makes me cry. Both Michaels were so misunderstood.
This was his voice before his father chemically castrated him after he turned 15-16 y/o.

muzo56281721 I could not have said it better myself. When I read what you wrote especially " beautiful being" made me cry. It is so funny certain words can trigger such strong emotions.
I used to listen to this song over and over and just SOB!
In all the drama of his life I think we forget what a beautiful child he was and how talented he was. I miss him and I wasnt a big fan of his until recently, he did some amazing songs.

Classic Michael Jackson. What a voice! He was one in two million, no doubt in my mind. Yeah, I'm a closet Michael Jackson fan. I think he was one of the most talented songwriters and singers of the 20th century.
That’s OK, as long as Michael wasn’t in the closet with you.
@@stevejones8660this is so gold,
He didn't write any songs. Stole some though .
No he didn't write it but HE ASKED for it to be written by Don Black after he saw the film Ben. Black was on TV recently and said he was bemused at being asked to write a song about a rat. MJ said the lyric 'I used to say I and me, now it's us, now it's we' was the most moving song lyric he'd ever heard. Just because an artist doesn't pen the song doesn't make it any less their song. Nor can they be classed as 'stealing' a song if the song rights for other artists to use it are there🤷♂️
Майкл Джексон всегда с нами , в наших сердцах. Мне его песни и творчество нравится. Когда его не стало, как будто потерял близкого человека.
Desde pequeño Michael Jackson se destacó por cantar muy bien.....con su hermosa voz.....
I only came here now cos it been a year since my awesome lil rat dude passed away and I miss him plenty. This song perfectly fits the feels.
Me too, my three rats all passed from old age a few months ago, and I miss them so much. Their friendship will stay with me forever.

Is it ironic that Michael probably never had anyone in his life that reciprocated the lyrics of this song back to him?
Jeff Cobb ironic and so very sad
Rosie ,Ray and Charles....
do any of us?
He had a wife. He was totally isolated like everyone seems to say.
yeah. He paid a heavy price for becoming Michael Jackson. Really rather sad.
TODAY IN MUSIC Michael Jackson's hit single "Ben" was released on this day in 1972. The theme song to a horror film of the same name, "Ben" was originally supposed to be performed by Donny Osmond, but he was on tour when the track was to be recorded, resulting in Berry Gordy successfully lobbying for Michael Jackson to step in. Since the movie was about a boy and his pet rat, and Michael was known to collect exotic pets including a number of rats, the song and the singer made a perfect pair. The song was MJ's first #1 solo hit, making him the third youngest solo chart topper behind Stevie Wonder and Donny Osmond. "Ben" also won a Golden Globe for Best Song, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. [07/12/2022]
He is a singer beyond compare, we can never ignore how he brought music into our lives, touched our hearts, so consoling and therapeutic. His voice and his delivery is so Divine. Michael Jackson is a God given gift to mankind.
What a sweet voice! If I ever saw the young Michael Jackson I’d probably give him a hug.
Probably. When was the last time You hugged a young African American male? Lol
Amo essa música Uma das que marcou minha juventude ❤️ Foi tão cedo o Michael 😭💔
One of the greatest artists that never existed. No one is like MJ and no one will ever be. RIP and may God has his mercy on your soul. I have never believed one word negative about you. You were a child in spirit and loved humanity and aspired to peace, love and saving our world with your songs. You will stay forever in our minds ❤❤❤
This was my favorite song when I was little. Hands down. The 90's when everyone was going crazy over the newest boy bands and newest pop artists, grunge, rap... I was listening to MJ & The J5. No wonder why everyone called/still calls me an old soul 💕 I was definitely born in the wrong era! My brother had a garage band and I got on the mic one day and chose to sing this song 😊 RIP Michael! Beautiful soul 🙏
