If so, he couldn't have liked what he seen, cuz ain't no hearts breaking to NOONDAY DREAM...GET BACK, GET BACK, GET BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED FROM...GET BACK JO-JO
It's hard to listen to such a song. You feel true sadness by heavy breathing, thinking about her. Hating her for leaving but loving her for who she is. Hating her for loving someone else but loving her for her being happy. The curse of confusion without solution. Pollution in your heart.
He's just so good.. it's insane. I mean I've listened to this song a million times at least, and I still listen to the song with the same chills as the first time I listened to this.
and hold, hold your lips so tightly- I can't ever put into words the feelings that this song gives me. the guitar, his smooth voice, the lyrics, everything. ben will forever be an idol in my eyes.
I just CANNOT understand how he isn't the top of every music channel and talked about in the same breath as many great singers....theres NO ONE like him and this song is GENIUS! But then i almost dont want to many people discover him.
Such a beautiful song. I always come back to it. I listened to it when I was at my absolute lowest, and when i listen now it reminds me. We're all human and suffering and in this together. I love you guys. And thank you so much Ben.
Every word of this song is so heart felt and beautiful, I'm glad songs like this don't go into the charts because then they become commercial and they get played so much that the media sucks the life and meaning out of the song. I know the songs here whenever I feel like listening to it and that's such a wonderful thing. Happy 2015 people x
Just layed my grandma and my wife to rest today. I miss you so much, nothing will bring you back, but one day, death will bring me right into your arms. Our little girl misses you too. God please ease this pain.
I just heard this song for the first time, and I'm instantly in love. It's just so truthful... I can feel the emotion in his voice and the lyrics are just beautiful... it rips me apart. Music that does that is by far my favorite kind.
I heard this song 6 months ago and I still love it. It's hurts so much listening to it, but it is still so beautiful. I wonder if my scars disappear one time, because this pain is not to endure.
it feels as if the more you try to forget the more you are reminded of those memories. it takes a true artist to make you realize what those memories really are or were. keep it up Ben your music really hits that spot that sometimes as a person you dont always want to go, you are a true artist. much love.
@dy 94 And maybe even true love can't be something eternal as we are not steady characters but mere lonely enteties being drag forwards by times river sometimes colliding sometimes getting drag apart.
I heard this song once a while ago, and it popped up in my head, no idea why. I just spent an hour and a half searching intently for it, and I'm glad I'm here.
I love how it makes everyone experience a different emotion. It just reminds me of my best friend who i love. Just another sad song about unrequitted love.
+william reynolds it's worse than that. it's about someone who made you feel like you were the one who rescued them and that they would love you for ever only to find out that they do that with everyone they meet.
Very talanted man . West Ukraine like music of Ben Howard . Many of us very much like his music is very close to our mentality, people with a free and sensual soul !!! many years of life to you, man.
And THIS is why Ben is truly so inspiring. Here is his raw and real vulnerability on the flesh of wood for us. I have never wept so much through a song quite like this.
I feel the same..he's a treasure, he deserves all the acknowledgement in the world, but part of what makes him so special is how unspoken of he is, the rawness and ''uncommercialization'' of his work
There was pain, there was hope, there was love, and this song to remind us of each emotion, both past and present. Then she was gone and this song could not be played for fear of recollection, but now these lyrics echo in my head. I'm free to love as she is free to the calling of her soul. Beautiful music depicting a timeless tale...
"Oh you love like you've never been lonely and that's alright honey, that's alright with me. Oh you love him with all of your body and that's alright honey, that's alright with me." Love this song so much.
A masterpiece, this is what music is all about. If I could I would make everyone sit down and listen. Please support artists anyway you can they make the world a better place.
His music truly does feed the soul and mind its so relaxing even when you have anxiety or depression his music always calms you down even in the darkest times this feels like you're not alone
Berenice Reyes that is exactly what his music is for me. I have anxiety and depression and my husband know when I am down and out to play Ben. I feel like his music sings directly to deepest part of my soul.
How "And you love like you always been lonely." is so powerful. Like the most fantastic, wonderful love you have had meant nothing to you. So much so, that you love the next man as if you've been waiting for him your whole life. And I'm left here in the apartment we shared together wondering where it all went wrong. And then realising she played you like a fool, and saw a more romantic, loving, caring man in a French businessman in a new suit. Well, I'm sorry I couldn't buy you the cars you wanted, but I'm not sorry for the picnics we used to look forward to so much. I'd bet your new man would care for those with you. "And you love him with all of your body," God........ God damn... but that's alright honey, that's alright with me.
Its been a while. I still revisit this song sometimes. Feel the same feelings I felt back then... when I was heartbroken. I feel the same but different, but less destroyed..... A newer, clearer man. My heart is still in pieces, but its being mended by someone new. Someone who recognises what love is, or at least I hope so. And so the girl who hurt me so badly can love him with all of her body, and that's all right honey, thats all right with me :) Thankyou Ben Howard. Thankyou everyone, for truly making me feel alive.
Daniel Sandhika yes, lot's of great info on Ben's Reddit page. Check it out if you have not seen it. Hopefully I can see him live again sometime this year!!
So strong emotions! Like every single feeling is going on the surface, and expressing itself in goosebumps and tears. So unique and beautiful. Timeless..
"Lust is just a child's game. And you were always late to bloom." This one speaks to me. Edit - Been 5 years since I wrote that as the lyrics and the voice spoke to me. Today, I feel the lyrics. What a messed up world!
Intense emotions in the words to this song. Great guitar. This guy is one of the best musicians around today. Forget trying to classify him so that you can go back to listening to crap. You'd be making a big mistake.
I once told my friend that "nothing is certain." He offered me a challenge. Like a fool, I accepted. His challenge? Listen to Ben Howard and find a song that you don't like. I'm still searching. Still failing. But always enjoying.
People who recommend other artists "like" Ben Howard: nobody is like Ben Howard. Don't get me wrong, some artists are really damn good, but there's something very unique about Ben's music that no one can truly compare to.
This song was playing when my ex was leaving to go back to England from where I live in Louisiana.. every time I hear this song now, it leaves such a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Even though I already think about her all of the time.. This just intensifies things by 100. Such an amazing masterpiece.
I've said that about ten times now, and every time I hear just another exquisite dream disguised as a song and fall in love all over again. Ben mate, you have talent to burn.....
this sounds like a song he sang for his daughter (if he has any) and he's giving her relationship advice ..... how young people's hearts are unblemished and their smiles so bright and hopes so high and how they can love irrevocably and give someone their all ..... for them the idea of love is eternal until they experience heartbreak for the first time. I envy young people sometimes for their optimistic take on life. I wish i could go back to that time.
I think it's more about someone he used to love. This just got me to think alot about my ex. It's like my ex is singing a song about me... Cause in my mind his always gonna be here no matter who i am with or where i am, and kind of is true. This is so sad to realize.
there is no reason to argue about different genres of music or what music you like. this song is the most beautiful song i've ever heard, and if you don't appreciate it then simply look up a new song to listen to and stop arguing.
Was editing photos (im a photographer) and I started crying somewhere around 2:00. Holy that took me off guard. His music really has a way of affecting a person deeply.. no matter what the emotion
If I could meet him in person, I'd say thank you, cause this song itself saved a beloved friend of mine, who if she committed suicide, idk where I'd be today. Thank you Ben.
The thing about this music that it feeds your pain. I should never put Anathema / Glen Hansard, Ben Howard, Bon iver and Damien Rice in the same league but they all do the same: beatifully magnify agony.
Sometimes, when I listen to certain songs I fell like I am not fully alive if I'm not experiencing pain, even when I have everything to be happy for like I have now. Sometimes I just miss feeling sad, don't know how to explain it.
things will get better, i was 12 when i lost my father and i thought the world had ended. everything will be okay, pain will ease. remember what you had, and smile when you can.
![[EP] Ben Howard - The Burgh Island](/img/n.gif)
It's funny how many hearts Ben's touched without ever knowing. He'll never know how many times his music has saved me and I'm forever grateful.
I think he knows.
If so, he couldn't have liked what he seen, cuz ain't no hearts breaking to NOONDAY DREAM...GET BACK, GET BACK, GET BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED FROM...GET BACK JO-JO
Amen
Same...
💙🌊🦋💕🙏
anyone else wanna give Ben Howard a tight hug when he says "go, leave me with this burning soul out here in the cold"?
Ben's music feeds the soul, in a much different way than any other musician. his music hits you with a quiet intensity.
Beautifully described..
theearthsonfire ty-- much love to you :-)
I like that. "quiet intensity". Well said :)
Stacy Steele this is the realest thing i have ever read.
+Stacy Steele Very keenly described. I couldn't have said it better.
It's hard to listen to such a song. You feel true sadness by heavy breathing, thinking about her. Hating her for leaving but loving her for who she is. Hating her for loving someone else but loving her for her being happy. The curse of confusion without solution. Pollution in your heart.
That was beautiful.
mann :(
ali mamoer I just got chills reading that
Simple truth... 🌺🍃🌺🍃🌺🍃
🕊🎶1💞✌🏻🎶🕊
Holy shot man, i get chills everytime i hear this, and you summed it up perfectly. Right on buddy
"And you laugh like there's hope in the story." *feeling that*
💔
Ben Howard's music has helped me through the greatest pain I've ever known. You'll never see this but, thank you Ben.
Same as here.
Ben Howard gets to hum & sing to himself & get to listen to Ben Howard's voice whenever he wants.
People like Ben Howard give me hope in music
Timer Malloy ditto
He is such a lyrically beautiful artist.
lyrically genius!
'Oh you laugh like I'll be there to hold you always' is the most depressing yet truest thing to say, what makes it soooo beautiful
He's just so good.. it's insane. I mean I've listened to this song a million times at least, and I still listen to the song with the same chills as the first time I listened to this.
It's like every song of Ben Howard is a masterpiece, one after the other, amazing artist
windows 85 zsa
I just curious what happened after 2 years from this comment
and hold, hold your lips so tightly-
I can't ever put into words the feelings that this song gives me.
the guitar, his smooth voice, the lyrics, everything.
ben will forever be an idol in my eyes.
I just CANNOT understand how he isn't the top of every music channel and talked about in the same breath as many great singers....theres NO ONE like him and this song is GENIUS!
But then i almost dont want to many people discover him.
I'm a songwriter, and the day I craft a song with half the beauty of this one, I won't need anything else
Such a beautiful song. I always come back to it. I listened to it when I was at my absolute lowest, and when i listen now it reminds me. We're all human and suffering and in this together. I love you guys. And thank you so much Ben.
I hate the part when it changes to "you love like you've always been lonely" gets me every damn time
Destroys Me... rips me apart from the inside out..
water works
omg my eyes always tear up... so powerful.
Wow!
Reannah Thurman true... It is awfully painful...this song is a fucking masterpiece. 🙏😥
Every word of this song is so heart felt and beautiful, I'm glad songs like this don't go into the charts because then they become commercial and they get played so much that the media sucks the life and meaning out of the song. I know the songs here whenever I feel like listening to it and that's such a wonderful thing. Happy 2015 people x
It is just beyond mind..beautiful.
I agree with this thing of trying to make this great songs in commercial ones.
Happy 2018 x
@@sandracladera6631 I suck the life out of all songs bt replaying then 9 million times.
Just layed my grandma and my wife to rest today. I miss you so much, nothing will bring you back, but one day, death will bring me right into your arms. Our little girl misses you too.
God please ease this pain.
Wow, how he's heartbroken yet happy for her. Beautiful.
I just heard this song for the first time, and I'm instantly in love. It's just so truthful... I can feel the emotion in his voice and the lyrics are just beautiful... it rips me apart. Music that does that is by far my favorite kind.
« Ho you were always late to bloom » even after 3 years it still gets me everytime
I heard this song 6 months ago and I still love it. It's hurts so much listening to it, but it is still so beautiful. I wonder if my scars disappear one time, because this pain is not to endure.
it feels as if the more you try to forget the more you are reminded of those memories. it takes a true artist to make you realize what those memories really are or were. keep it up Ben your music really hits that spot that sometimes as a person you dont always want to go, you are a true artist. much love.
lust is just a child's game. some of the most inspirational lyrics i know.
@dy 94 And maybe even true love can't be something eternal as we are not steady characters but mere lonely enteties being drag forwards by times river sometimes colliding sometimes getting drag apart.
I heard this song once a while ago, and it popped up in my head, no idea why. I just spent an hour and a half searching intently for it, and I'm glad I'm here.
This is the most hauntingly beautiful sad love song I ever listened to, and almost one million should say the same.
then you my friend haven't hear Follaton Wood by this same master ;) please, do look it up!
snjle I did and i almost agree, but Bones hits you straight in the heart... the final chorus can kill a man.
Can't argue with tht
Some people may never have the priviledge to discover him. Once you hear one song, you will not be able to stop and for me that is beautiful :)
I love how it makes everyone experience a different emotion. It just reminds me of my best friend who i love. Just another sad song about unrequitted love.
+iL0veHayleyWilliams The Lyrics are sad. I've been there before. One-sided love
+william reynolds it's worse than that. it's about someone who made you feel like you were the one who rescued them and that they would love you for ever only to find out that they do that with everyone they meet.
Very talanted man .
West Ukraine like music of Ben Howard .
Many of us very much like his music is very close to our mentality, people with a free and sensual soul !!!
many years of life to you, man.
Such an incredibly gorgeous song. I can feel every last drop of his emotion through his voice. Such rawness and purity.
And THIS is why Ben is truly so inspiring. Here is his raw and real vulnerability on the flesh of wood for us. I have never wept so much through a song quite like this.

so is oyre bussy
"Oh you love like you've never been lonely and that's alright honey, that's alright with me. Oh you love him with all of your body and that's alright honey, that's alright with me." Love this song so much.
elana renee yea i realized that right after i put it up but i was too lazy to take it down
Lyrics are good.
'I know you can never be alone, cause it's just the bones you're made of'.
So heart wrenching.
words cant describe how amazing his music really is.
A masterpiece, this is what music is all about. If I could I would make everyone sit down and listen. Please support artists anyway you can they make the world a better place.
Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to this. Each word touches my soul.
His voice never gets old. Definitely an all time favorite of mine
His music truly does feed the soul and mind its so relaxing even when you have anxiety or depression his music always calms you down even in the darkest times this feels like you're not alone

I too am on this road. I hope things went well for you, ShearDeer.
he is the one of the most perfect people to ever grace this earth with his infinite beauty and gracefulness
Can't stop listening to this who is still listening to Ben in 2017?
i still listening to Ben, and it's 2018
New music from Ben is on its way....!!
Andrew Scott yep. I heard he’s on the line up of mad cool festival this july. Hope his new album gonna come soon.
Daniel Sandhika yes, lot's of great info on Ben's Reddit page. Check it out if you have not seen it. Hopefully I can see him live again sometime this year!!
Andrew Scott woah! I just read it and that’s a really good news. Thanks man.
no-one can make me cry whilst listening to a song other than the musical genius that is Ben Howard.
So strong emotions! Like every single feeling is going on the surface, and expressing itself in goosebumps and tears. So unique and beautiful. Timeless..
"Lust is just a child's game. And you were always late to bloom."
This one speaks to me.
Edit - Been 5 years since I wrote that as the lyrics and the voice spoke to me. Today, I feel the lyrics. What a messed up world!
The comments sections of Ben Howard's songs give me hope for humanity
Intense emotions in the words to this song. Great guitar. This guy is one of the best musicians around today. Forget trying to classify him so that you can go back to listening to crap. You'd be making a big mistake.
Ben Howard is simple a genius in songwriting and music, what a talent, thank you so much for the incredible music BH.
one of the greatest lyricists of our generation-ben howard sir, i love you
Without a doubt this is my favourite Ben Howard song. Always reminds me of her and probably always will.
sorry are you the British man by the same name who has a serial killer ex girlfriend by any chance?
I once told my friend that "nothing is certain." He offered me a challenge. Like a fool, I accepted. His challenge? Listen to Ben Howard and find a song that you don't like. I'm still searching. Still failing. But always enjoying.

Marija have you checked out Daughter?
Not disagreeing with what you said but fans of Ben Howard will probably love her.
It's because he's poet too, his music is poetry x
2019, and i still listen to this masterpiece.
How could anyone not like this damn song?!?!
This song was playing when my ex was leaving to go back to England from where I live in Louisiana.. every time I hear this song now, it leaves such a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Even though I already think about her all of the time.. This just intensifies things by 100. Such an amazing masterpiece.
how can anyone dislike this?? Disliking any of Ben Howard's songs should be made illegal
who ever he wrote this about is the luckiest person in the world to have such a beautifully sweet song written about them
This is one man who doesn't know how to make bad music❤️
this song just makes everything feel better...relaxes me so much.
the comments under these videos are just the best, love what music can do do to people
this song plus rainy mood is just... perfect.
this song makes me want to change my life every time i listen to it!!
my friend showed me this song today and it fits so perfectly with how i am feeling. Gah. this song is like the hug i needed. i love music. :)
I've played guitar many years, and have loved music for a long time and this guy, really knows how to jerk your emotions around. Damn good musician.
I've said that about ten times now, and every time I hear just another exquisite dream disguised as a song and fall in love all over again. Ben mate, you have talent to burn.....
I’ve never listened to an artist where nearly every song I’m in absolute awe!
"lust is just a childs game, and you, you were always late to bloom" that is such a beautiful line...
Agreed, i went from listening to pretty much hard rock and metal only to Ben Howard. He truly does something amazing with his songs.
If someone...or just Life...hadn't have broken Ben's heart...then we wouldn't have had all of his sweet songs to help us with ours...
Perfect music. Perfect lyrics. Simply perfection
Bittersweet... a stunning song
Some new kind of beautiful this is.
this sounds like a song he sang for his daughter (if he has any) and he's giving her relationship advice ..... how young people's hearts are unblemished and their smiles so bright and hopes so high and how they can love irrevocably and give someone their all ..... for them the idea of love is eternal until they experience heartbreak for the first time.

3 years...and this song hurts like the first time. :(
6 years... still tears in eyes...
juan ignacio martin 4 here ... :‘(
This song it’s so beautifully painful
This is the first song that has really made me feel. Helps me appreciate the expression music allows
song bones.....wow! it touched my soul.....I am sharing....thank you for your beautiful music!
If only more men like him existed in this world , however sadly their are only few and unfortunately not in this country .. :(
there is no reason to argue about different genres of music or what music you like. this song is the most beautiful song i've ever heard, and if you don't appreciate it then simply look up a new song to listen to and stop arguing.
Ben Howard = amazing, talented, unique, magical. I could listen to this song on holiday on a soft sandy beach :)
"And you laugh like you've never been lonely, you laugh like there's hope in the story"
I wish i could use words to express how much I love this song and Ben Howard, but it's not possible.
His voice send shivers down my spine.
Thank you Ben Howard.
Can't believe how good this song is, gets me every time I listen.
Wasn't the song I had expected to hear but oh sweet serendipity tastes !
Was editing photos (im a photographer) and I started crying somewhere around 2:00. Holy that took me off guard. His music really has a way of affecting a person deeply.. no matter what the emotion
brings tears to my eyes. beautiful song from a beautiful soul
No other artist makes me feel so many different emotions at the same time as Ben Howard does.
I've got to that stage in A-level revision where the only thing keeping me going is Ben's music. Love love love :)
If I could meet him in person, I'd say thank you, cause this song itself saved a beloved friend of mine, who if she committed suicide, idk where I'd be today. Thank you Ben.
"because lust is just a child's game and you were always late to bloom"
love these lyrics
another beautiful touching song by ben howard, just cant get enough
The thing about this music that it feeds your pain. I should never put Anathema / Glen Hansard, Ben Howard, Bon iver and Damien Rice in the same league but they all do the same: beatifully magnify agony.
They definitely help me experience my emotions. Otherwise, I'm just drifting confused.
Sometimes, when I listen to certain songs I fell like I am not fully alive if I'm not experiencing pain, even when I have everything to be happy for like I have now.
Sometimes I just miss feeling sad, don't know how to explain it.
This has to be the most beautiful song.
This song is so, so beautiful that I'm writing this with tears in my eyes..
things will get better, i was 12 when i lost my father and i thought the world had ended. everything will be okay, pain will ease. remember what you had, and smile when you can.
