i was high when i heard this song for the first time yesterday. It utterly destroyed me emotionally. I felt all the sadness, regret, pain, but at the same time I felt inspired by the greatness of his love and passion. OP delivered.
When I wrote you that letter, you'd already made up your mind All my words were writen in vain When I called you up that day, I was only calling up to say hello But goodbye, was the word that you've been thinking ?bout for days I didn't know that you were going to leave me I wish I knew the way to make you come home What can I do if this is right for you I have not been perfect for you Although I think I was back at the start You have no more patience for me So now I guess we'll both just drift apart All those times I wasn't there The times I thought it didn't care I hope you can believe I thought of you ?cause you were everything I needed I've been selfish and so self-absorbed I thought that you'll be waiting when I reached the other side Last night I put my arms around another women's waist The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced And great love can bring greater pain I hope I fall in love again What can I do, if this is right for you I have not been perfect for you I like to think I was back at the start You have no more patience for me So now I guess we'll both just drift apart I want the best for you and now I realize that isn't me I haven't been the man you need, I wish I'd been able to be I'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired And that I've made you feel upset when you just made me feel inspired I have not been perfect for you I wish we could go back and just restart You have no more patience for me So now I guess we'll both just drift apart Drift apart
I've been watching Ben's video's for two days in a row now. I don't know what it is, but it keeps swirling in my head. It's addictive, and I don't mind. It's a healthy addiction. Such a talent. All hail the Canadian minstrel. May his voice carry all over this little planet.
Don't dwell on it buddy. Life is an experience that can be lonely at times maybe even most but there is always someone who wants you around. Don't ever feel unwanted friend.
I feel you, me and my girlfriend had a bit of a rough patch not long ago. The lyrics from this song fit in almost perfectly, hits me right in the feels when ever I hear it.
The lyric "I have not been perfect for you, though I think we were back at the start, you have no more patience for me, so now I guess we'll both just drift apart." Was incredably real at the moment we were in the rough patch. Still hurts to listen to even though we are good now!
Got me mad, that's power you have, and it's not just the passion it's the words man. If its anyway possible, I'd love to sit down and have a word with you.
Great ... absolutely great ... i`ve heard the song while driving for christmas to my parents house ... Now i got to hear more and more and more an guess buy some albums and learn more about Ben Caplan :)
Damn, me and my girlfriend had a bit of a rough patch not long ago. The lyrics from this song fit in almost perfectly, hits me right in the feels when ever I hear it.
Man, I don't know if I hate or love you. You're so fucking awesome, your beard, your music... It's everything so beautifull :O Just marry me, please ! LOL JK Love from Brazil
@@dangregory2217 love ...love is of God.....sadness,isolation,relying on a girl for happiness is a sad exsistance....I don't want to fight....I want to send my love to you.....from Jesus...
when i wrote you that letter you'd already made up your mind all my words were written in vain when i called you up that day, i was only calling up to say hello but you'd buy the word that you'd been thinking about for days you know that you were going to leave me wishing for the way to make you come home what can i do if this is right for you? i have not been perfect for you although i think i was back at the start you have no more patience for me so now i guess we'll both just drift apart

Lmao😂
"Great love can bring greater pain
I hope I fall in love again"
Damn, that hit me deep.
When I wrote you that letter, you'd already made up your mind
All my words were writen in vain
When I called you up that day, I was only calling up to say hello
But goodbye, was the word
that you've been thinking ?bout for days
I didn't know that you were going to leave me
I wish I knew the way to make you come home
What can I do if this is right for you
I have not been perfect for you
Although I think I was back at the start
You have no more patience for me
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
All those times I wasn't there
The times I thought it didn't care
I hope you can believe I thought of you
?cause you were everything I needed
I've been selfish and so self-absorbed
I thought that you'll be waiting when I reached the other side
Last night I put my arms around another women's waist
The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced
And great love can bring greater pain
I hope I fall in love again
What can I do, if this is right for you
I have not been perfect for you
I like to think I was back at the start
You have no more patience for me
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
I want the best for you and now I realize that isn't me
I haven't been the man you need, I wish I'd been able to be
I'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired
And that I've made you feel upset
when you just made me feel inspired
I have not been perfect for you
I wish we could go back and just restart
You have no more patience for me
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
Drift apart
I heard this music for the first time 7 years ago, and it remains as amazing as the first time ever since then

You should have more views. I've listened at least 100000 times
I wasn't looking for a song like this but stumbled upon it. It speaks EXACTLY to what I'm going through. Crazy.
The pain .... 10/10 this is art.
Great musicm, great beard!
thank you Ben, I just listened to this song for the first time and it hit home for me.
this guy has one of the prettiest voices in world
Ben's voice, beard and specs combo is the perfect trifecta of kick ass.
The girl I was seeing just broke it off with me. I kinda saw it coming, but still no one likes feeling unwanted. Been listening to this a lot.
almost the same here.... time for another drink, cheers ^^
Now you can find someone better, probably did you a favor.
Don't dwell on it buddy. Life is an experience that can be lonely at times maybe even most but there is always someone who wants you around. Don't ever feel unwanted friend.
James I feel you pretty hard..
Ive only just found this song after knowing bout cappy for over a year now n its just as me n my bubs mum split feels bro
More people should get to listen to this voice. Brilliant work! Time to share.
This is a great song! Can't wait to hear it in person :-)
Lovely to see a live version of this amazing song. Also great channel!
I can't hear this song without crying.
MisterBliix Yeah me too, which is odd. Gets me everytime though. Particularly the line near the end about feeling inspired. So well written.
"Sorry for made you feel upset, when you just made me feel inspire", it's so real that hurts
coupdegrass "Sorry for made you feel upset, when you just made me feel inspired", it's so real that hurts

Uma das melhores vozes do mundo, parabéns!
it's so intense. Everything I love in music reunited in one song.
I thought I wrote some pretty good songs and had an epic beard... then I find this guy. Christ, he's awesome. I quit!
Got me mad, that's power you have, and it's not just the passion it's the words man. If its anyway possible, I'd love to sit down and have a word with you.
Im in love I think. omg! one of my favorite song ever
Damn this song hits a spot. Powerful presentation and performance. Thankyou.
I love your music, greetings from Colombia, south america.
Goosebumps.. Can't wait to see him live in Eindhoven.
if he doesn't get the credit he deserves we won't blame him
Great ... absolutely great ... i`ve heard the song while driving for christmas to my parents house ... Now i got to hear more and more and more an guess buy some albums and learn more about Ben Caplan :)
Thank you for exist.
i love you...i know this is weird. you're original and i love it
De principio a fin me recuerda a ti ♥ El tiempo pasa, pero los recuerdos perduran por siempre
Why people deslike this?? I don't understand. This guy is amazing!
Love that he's from Canada!!!
This guy is musical gold
When in uk again? To this day best voice i have ever heard
keep doing this, you handsome bearded man!!!! so lovely!
Two year's later , what a fkn tune
This song is so sweet!
this is fkn brill wow what a great tune, im loving this
don't be fooled, its actually the beard singing.
A most talented beard
Wow love your voice it is so deep ... Love it
I think Ben has written the most affecting love-song of the year. The whole album's superb, but this is the standout for me.
Holy shit dude , these lyrics are resonating in my bones 😔
melancholia is growing and creates tears
I love this
the tail of my life
(thank you for music)
There's a bit of Johnny Cash to his tune. This is really good.
I think Ben Caplan, and The White Buffalo, are our era's Cash!
Saw him at Evolve. So PERFECT.
loved it. very haunting voice
i wish i could say thanks to you man
Damn, me and my girlfriend had a bit of a rough patch not long ago. The lyrics from this song fit in almost perfectly, hits me right in the feels when ever I hear it.
Amazing
Great song! You should come play in Brazil
ty dude :)
Bravo 👌👏
I was just about to shave but that epic beard has changed my mind...:P
You aren't necessarily supposed to like how it sounds. He is expressing his pain. He is depressed. It's ugly, but still very, very beautiful.
So much soul
spot on
and now it´s all so obvious.. thanks!
this is sad. great tune
So few views...ordinary people obviously dislike original true artists.
Nope. They simply dont find them
Rogério Cafruni they just don't understand, they just don't feel
Genius
Awesome song. Ever tour the Maritimes?
Это лучшее то что я слышала в жизни 😲💖
Letras bonitas homem mágico
wow ❤
Love..
i'd say that the beard is simply a manifestation of his power and talent.
THE BEARD GIVES HIM POWERS!
4:08 ❤️💛💚
just wicked man loved u on q
so... good..
Not only powers, but great responsibility to!
Damn, what a magnificent beard. Truly a man among men.
Gabriela, ha pasado tanto tiempo, y aún permaneces aquí.
the beard is strong in this one.
Man, I don't know if I hate or love you. You're so fucking awesome, your beard, your music... It's everything so beautifull :O
Just marry me, please ! LOL JK
Love from Brazil
Lol sing with me
Sadness, sorrow and much hidden anger,.....................
Sad exsistance.....live to serve Jesus...
No
@@dangregory2217 love ...love is of God.....sadness,isolation,relying on a girl for happiness is a sad exsistance....I don't want to fight....I want to send my love to you.....from Jesus...
Así con pasion
Hello, i love this song , anyone know the rythmik?
totally learning how to play this ... :]
I like it more now
QUIERO ESAS BARBAS!!
ღვთაებრივი
genius... my thoughts exactly.
I want to double or triple like! One like is not enough.. Far not enough...!!
Hi all, anybody can gives me the lyrics please ? I don't understand all that he said...
Can't help but comment on the beard
the laddadadadadada part was a mar on this beautiful song. Just my opinion.
Jon Mattingly why do you feel it marred the song?
I REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE CHORDS ! DAMN INTERNET WHY DON'T YOU POST EM!
at 4:13 "i wish i´d been a ???"
been trying to figure that word out for a week now..
anyone out there who can help out?
"I wish i'd been able to be"
From 4:00 to 5:00 holy fucking shit .
i wish i could write songs just like him....
FUS RO DAAHH!!
He sounds like he`s going to cry at I think 3:50 ... I dont bkame him :3 He`s beautiful, and that would be a hard note to hit...
sorry but only Ben has the power...no man can simply grow that kind of a beard
reminds me of Johnny Cash.
when i wrote you that letter you'd already made up your mind
all my words were written in vain
when i called you up that day, i was only calling up to say hello
but you'd buy the word that you'd been thinking about for days
you know that you were going to leave me
wishing for the way to make you come home
what can i do if this is right for you?
i have not been perfect for you
although i think i was back at the start
you have no more patience for me
so now i guess we'll both just drift apart
I sometimes do...
2021?
