    LYRICS
    When I was young my mother told me:
    “If you’re brokenhearted come find me
    Cause I will be here no matter what, no
    No, nothing you do can change my mind”
    When I was growing up my father
    My father used to call me gunner
    I’d say; “I’m gonna do this dad,
    I’m gonna do that, dad”
    I hope I might’ve made you proud, man
    Cause he said “you’re not alone at all, boy”
    And she said “we’ll catch you if you fall down”
    Cause I won’t let us go away
    No I won’t go alone yeah
    Now I’m growing up I wish I
    I could’ve thanked you every day for being
    …there for me when I’m sick and fed up
    But you’re a hero man, I hope you know that
    Cause he said “you’re not alone at all boy”
    And she said “we’ll catch if you fall down”
    Cause I won’t let us go away
    No I won’t go alone
    Cause I can’t, I can’t, I can’t look at you right now
    Cause a tear will fall from my eyes if I don’t see you smile
    Cause I can’t, I can’t, I can’t look at you right now
    Cause I can’t, I can’t, I can’t look at you right now……
    Cause a tear will fall from my eyes if I don’t see you smile
    ….
    Cause I can’t, I can’t, I can’t look at you right now
    Cause I can’t, I can’t, I can’t look at you right now (x2)
    Said I hope I made you proud
    [.........this was the best I could do. Enjoy!]

    The nathan ball drinking game, take a drink every time someone compares him to ben howard

      ArtjomGlad hey man, I am pretty sure that out there in the world there is someone who is just like me, but if someday he/she ends up working in the same organization as me, I wouldn't call him a copy, I'll appreciate the fact that in all this big world this rare thing happened.
      So, what's up with you all hating on Nathan Ball? Chill out. Appreciate the fact that instead of just one Ben Howard now you can listen to 2 Ben Howards.

      @@MammalMan I would rather hear one Nathan Ball than two Ben Howards, he's ok but not outstanding to me. I feel more compelled to listen to Nathan. Just because it's along the same vein doesn't mean it's copied or the same ( I am aware this is a cover version). The thing is everything is borrowed, all sound is borrowed from the moment we open our mouths. A copy of a copy, it's the musician or composer's art to arrange it so that it's recognisable without plagerising it. There are only a handful of notes after all. It annoys me when conversation about music goes anywhere near that's stolen from.......especially when people have been sampling records commercially since I dunno definitely late 80's. With the likes of S Express and Bomb the Bass, Coldcut etc.

    Nathan, you are very talented, I really enjoy your music.
    Just because you share your style with another artist, or have a similar style shouldn't and doesn't take anything away from the talent that you display. :)

    The guitar in this sounds very similar to promise by Ben Howard--although you must be tired of that comparison! Although the styles are somewhat similar, your voice definitely takes things I a new direction :) best of luck!

      @samanthawilliamson9694 5 років тому

      He he he! He won a brit award once! I think. He got a bit famous. He was ok, but I personally prefer Nathan Ball. I must be one of the only people who didn't think that sounds like Ben Howard. I honestly despise comparing artists.

  • @aspizak

    he sounds kinda like Ben Howard and he kinda looks like Marcus Mumford, weird lol

    As a cellist myself- that cellist is not the best
    I know u can't really show case ur skills while playing 4 notes but still

  • @samanthawilliamson9694
    @samanthawilliamson9694 5 років тому

    I try not to compare artists to other bands or artists. It must be difficult to find your own sound. Like the white stripes were instantly recognisable, queens of the stone age all have a sound that is there's. Like you get singers that are karaoke good then singers that have their own voice. That isn't using anyone else as a blueprint for their sound. Even Amy Winehouse aspired to sound like Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holliday.
