This song picked me up from a very dark place, I listen to it when I feel low and by the end I'm dancing and singing. It saved me from destroying my kids lives. Thank you Ben. I'll forever keep my head up.
This song is like a little fire in the cold, unknown darkness. A place, where you can warm yourself up and rest in the comforting light, before you continue your way.
This song is like a friend I needed so bad, but didn't have reaching out to me, telling me to keep my head up, not to give up. When bad things are sad and done to me, to keep my heart strong. When I have no one but me believing in me that I will not always be in this place, that is what I have to keep my mind set at. I will not always be here. One day I will break free and no longer be sad or lonely anymore. Thank you so much Ben for writing this song.
Nobody should be alone, the feeling of being lonely belongs to you, nobody else owes it to you, but let me just say their is all ways some body close wanting to help,you can't always see it and some people just don't realise untill it's to late. Nobody should feel or be alone
Life is what you make it, it doesn't have to be a burden, I'm not religious but do believe hard times are sent to prove our own worth, when you come out the other side stronger having learned valuable life lessons, some of the people with the worst luck live long prosperous lives and die happy, some people are born wanting for nothing in a stable environment and live alongside wealth and still die sad and lonely, it's all about living, live the way you want to and be happy, if it doesn't make you happy don't do it, try somthing else, but don't give up and don't view it in a negative way just be happy your alive.
I recently just had to go to a hospital for about two months and when I came back my friends continuously reminded me that they were very glad to have me back. This song reminds me of my entire jurny from going to the hospital and finally when I finally was able to speak to my friends again
Who is here because of the NHS advert ? keep your head up guys ! all i was searching for was me ...... all i was searching for me was ME !! LOVE THIS SONG. Keep your heart strong.
I remember I used to love this song as a young kid. The first time I heard it I was in the van with my mam, the CD player blasting, and I was immediately hooked. I developed a small obsession with it and would sing it at the top of my voice: never really understood the meaning at the time. It sprung into my mind today and I was scared to put it on. But I heard it and it filled some hole in my chest. I now understand the lyrics. I feel sad that that same little kid became me: I feel sad that they would come to relate to it so much. But maybe I’ll be happy on that level again some day. Someday my scars will fade
Thank you for sharing this lovely story of reminiscence! I had this song suggested to me by a very special friend today, and I love it! The I found your comment and realise I relate so much to what you said about being sad that the little one I used to be grew up to be me and that I have let her down somehow. But you know, whilst listening to this I thought, the crap we live through is what makes us who we are, and although I thought I would be in such a different life by now, maybe I really am where I'm supposed to be, until I'm ready to take that leap into true happiness and maybe, I'll land on two feet this time ❤️
Clover Johnson, what is the story behind this song? Where can I find this information. I know you wrote this a long time ago but I'm new to Ben and would love to learn more about the meanings behind his songs.
Who else is here for the first time... which an overwhelming feeling in there heart .... knowing we all have this song to hear over an over. An when we listen we know how many people it helps. I love this song and I've blessed a few other with it as well. Thank you Ben ❤️ Keep your head Keep your heart strong Keep your mind set Keep your your hair long 🎶✨️🌻
A girl once made me listen to this song. We used to be very close but parted ways. I saw her later, she was so cold it felt like talking to a stranger. Listening to this makes me remember her the way she was when we were still spending time together.
Heard this song sometime ago , I loved it , it’s uncanny how at every new chapter of my life this song will re-appear via the radio or random and matches my thoughts 🤘🏻❤️
When i first heard about ben howard ages ago, i told my friends to listen to his music and they said they didnt like it. Now, monthes later, he's all they are listening to. Well done Ben. You have done me proud.
i always come to this song when i think that i have too much work to do, or that im not going to do well, or that im not good enough. It's a song that can instantly reverse all of those feelings ^^
My brother sent this track to me 21st November, when I'd recently learned that our sister Ingrid wouldn't have more than 1 year to live. He never got to say goodbye to her, only at her funeral, since she died 18th January 2012, even sooner than we'd all thought... Keep your head up, got us a short way, but not a long way, we're still trying to deal with it. But this song, the lyrics and the emotions are still helpful in trying to deal with this great loss.
And I saw a friend of mine the other day and he told me that my eyes were gleaming. And i said "i've been away" And He knew the dephts i was meaning. And it felt so good just to see his face, all the comfort invested in my soul. And to feel the warmth of his smile, when he said "i'm happy to have you home".
"And ill always remember you the same oooo you're eyes like wildflowers oh your demons of change". Those lyrics will haunt me to my death. They always seem to retain meaning no matter the relationship.
This song talks to me about haveing my pet who is my compaion with me. Shes my Assie dog. And landlord wants me today move Brcause of my pet and she os a ESA. This song Also tells me God is talking about keep your mindset keep your heart strong keep your head up. In any order. And what ever else from GOD out of this Great song.😊
u did youre best my friend ,, i begin to like this song now here in holland it keeps my head up and my heart strong this is a song i will sing on festivals
Music is the soundtrack of life, that's why our hearts have beats. It's actually incredible how much we can embrace sound. Soulful words spoken and felt. This song is dedicated to anyone that feels lost. You are not alone, I feel your anguish. I love you and hope you make it through to the other side like myself. Join me in the quest of life, spreading positivity to those that need us.
You all are so beautiful and you are so strong!! and amazing you can do this. it gets better!!! maybe not tomorrow, or the next day, maybe not even in a week, month, or year! but wait for the process I love you.
i love this song. a guy sang this to me at the wicker-man festival.. i was crying so much afterwards... gorgeous guy, i will never see him again but was a beautiful moment :')
I looked up "keep your head up" so i could listen to that andy grammer song, but i found this one instead. i kinda like it better. it has a more powerful message, and it's not overrated. definite like from me. nice job.
This is making me feel a lot better about how my aunt, best friend, brother, and idol died, and how my birth mother and my birth father divorced, forcing my half brother into a dark period of life..... I love this song so much.
Somehow the lyrics make me think of my Journey to become an Dutch Korps Commando (Special Forces, S.A.S.-like). Which is essentially an emotionally rollercoaster of learning one self in to the deepest reaches, to have friends who would go through fire for you, and know you as good or better then yourself
As darkness comes before the dawn, weary eyes with sleep refresh, sadness knows to smile again bitterness will fade to blessed So keep your head up keep your heart strong Yeah, yeah , yeah ,yeah!
As many others will testify, it is irritating when people post music video's and they get the lyrics wrong!! You've done a great job on this song and I like the green background!
This song picked me up from a very dark place, I listen to it when I feel low and by the end I'm dancing and singing. It saved me from destroying my kids lives. Thank you Ben. I'll forever keep my head up.
how touching, music is important when you absorb it like this. God bless you yellow snow. And your kids. Praise God
Same
So proud of you 👏 🥰 💛 I know they will forever be thankful for your courage 💖
even when im sad when i start the song, like you said it always gets you dancing and singing by the end of it.❤Good luck on your journey in life
L😊
This song is like a little fire in the cold, unknown darkness. A place, where you can warm yourself up and rest in the comforting light, before you continue your way.

When nothing goes right... music save the soul.
Every single time 💜💚🎶.

you said it perfectly my friend.
I had a friend who emodied this and I didn't appreciate not till it was gone
Nobody should be alone, the feeling of being lonely belongs to you, nobody else owes it to you, but let me just say their is all ways some body close wanting to help,you can't always see it and some people just don't realise untill it's to late.
Nobody should feel or be alone
Join the club buddy
One of the greatest songs ever written period.
who's your pilot?
Reading this, whilst listening to this, brought tears to my eyes. May you, and your family, find peace
The guys lyrics on the full album
Are just genius
Respect Ben Howard
My son recommended Ben Howard "Keep your head up". Wonderful song, true text, which makes the burden of life a bit better, bearable.
Life is what you make it, it doesn't have to be a burden, I'm not religious but do believe hard times are sent to prove our own worth, when you come out the other side stronger having learned valuable life lessons, some of the people with the worst luck live long prosperous lives and die happy, some people are born wanting for nothing in a stable environment and live alongside wealth and still die sad and lonely, it's all about living, live the way you want to and be happy, if it doesn't make you happy don't do it, try somthing else, but don't give up and don't view it in a negative way just be happy your alive.
I found this song in a dark time in my life, and I'm so glad I did.
***** _so you have jokes-_
+In All Other Aspects Same.
same my girl just broke my heart
This. SO MUCH.
I recently just had to go to a hospital for about two months and when I came back my friends continuously reminded me that they were very glad to have me back. This song reminds me of my entire jurny from going to the hospital and finally when I finally was able to speak to my friends again
This is helping me through so much right now:(
Things will get better hang in there x
Hope you're better now ❤️
I hope you feel better. Hug!
Keep your head up!!!
Hope things are looking up in 2021!
Changed my life Ben Howard. Thank you so much brother.
'I spent my time, watching the spaces that have grown between us...' really powerful opening. Reminds me of how I felt about someone:(
A message to everyone, never leave a permanent mark on yourself because of a temporary sadness!!!
Emelia Johnson I felt that 😩💔
@@sineadharper929 I need to listen to my own advice...
💪🌍🙏💐💚
Emelia Johnson I love you more than words can explain.

Guy is amazing his guitar playing, his singing and his song writing are all 10/10
Such a powerful song, all his songs have great meaning. The story behind them is truly heartbreaking, I love Ben Howard and his music so much!

My dad showed me this song years ago and im so pleased he did. Because all it does is reminds me of him
i always come to this song when i think that i have too much work to do, or that im not going to do well, or that im not good enough. It's a song that can instantly reverse all of those feelings ^^
Reading these comments I'm happy to see this song helped more than just me
