it's not just hope. It's the feeling that it is alright for one to be lost once in a while. a feeling that shit happens a feeling that maybe one day it will be just fine.
Great version of the Bruce song. I don't see much point in artists doing covers that are just the same as the original. Much better when they do the cover version in their own 'voice', style etc, like here. Ben is great. I'd love to see him do some stuff with fellow West Country artist Seth Lakeman.
What a beautifull version of the song...totally made his his own...so touching and wonderfull....Ben u are something else!!!...each and every time you surprise with another master piece....I hardly listen to any other artists these days...my playlists are all about you....huge respect & admiration....just love ye!!!!!❤️🙏🏽
Un décor magique pour une production artistique tout autant magique. Un bel âge que je souhaite apprécié de son interprète... il n'aura pas deux fois l'âge de son temps. Pourvu que chaque temps soit vécu avec l'exactitude de son essence au moment de sa découverte, son exploration, sa contemplation, son exaltation...
Bruuuuuuuuuuuce Bruuuuuuuuce Bruuuuuuuuuce. Like the TV-format of this video, music is of the real old school of really old school of the rock'n'roll legend!
the original is one of my all time favourite songs, and ben just takes it to a whole new level. i cant even begin to express how insanely talented he is...
what an absolutely beautiful version of this song. i mean the boss put this song to a pretty upbeat tune, but listening to this somber version you hear the real meaning behind the lyrics. TL ; DR, THE BOSS + BEN HOWARD = PERFECTION
potato ain't a fruit, potato is a root! love me some ben, guy's a force. met ben and the band all in austin, tx during SXSW 2012 - last gig of their trip, in a dying texas heat in the desperate arms of the afternoon - these folks were nicer than my next door neighbors. nothin but love and support for this troop. next time in austin, stay with me - we do not dissapoint. =)
beautiful. when yael naim sings the harmony, it's just so beautifully haunting. i honestly had never heard of this song, and so i went to look at the original and i love this so much more.
I love ben and i don't wanna say this was better than the original because it's one of my favourite songs but i will say that Ben's take made the verses touch your soul marginally better than Bruce's.

2024 and still going strong, this rendition is timeless, thank you Ben ✊🏼
Almost 2020, Ben Howard makes timeless music, including covers
We need this even more now in 2020
Still in 2020
Perfect music 😍
Still in 2021
it's 2021 boss
Ben Howard is the *most underrated* musician on the scene today...
who's here in 2020??
There’s no one like Ben anymore.
@@jamesseaman615 you shut your mouth when you talk shit about Ben Howard
Been listening daily for 5 years now :) gotta love him
I'm not here, I'm over there.
@@shazdee touché 😂🙌🏼
I am crying. I use to got to sleep with this song in my ears.. where did the time go?
The nostalgia is overwhelming right now
Same here mate. This was my go to song when I was in darkness. Things aren't still bright but there is a decent ray of hope now.
Same my friend.
😢
@@mdanasmusicsame here my friend. Keep strong, you got this🤘🏻
9 years later. Still a masterpiece.
10 years later. Still a masterpiece.
God, I wish I could listen to this on repeat on spotify or somewhere; I always come back to it, my fave cover of anything ever.
it’s in soundcloud if you want to try that :)
Check out Jorgan Dahl Moe he's done a cover of this you might enjoy.
Check out bens cover of video games if you havent
There is a website called, i believe, listen on repeat, that lets you repeat youtube videos ad nauseum, which is just how i likr it.
right click in the middle of the video, click loop, then it will repeat
My mom is a huge Bruce fan. She hates that I've found an artist who showed up the Boss on his own song. She doesn't deny it. Brilliant.
I don't know if he shows him up but this is definetly an incredible cover. Sam fender does this song beautifully though.
I'm struggling to find a musician that's better than Ben Howard.
Surfnsound 4 years on and I'm still searching
That’s cuz there is nobody better
Same
Still searching and haven’t found anyone yet !
I kinda think Thom Yorke is there too
As a hard-core Springsteen fan, I love it. Kid's got a voice on him.
Kids goin places
Serious? Ben Howard is already a massively famous artist.
@@batstevenman he clearly used the wrong tense!
guys come on this comment was years ago !!
Ben
Fucking
Howard.
Champion.
This is art, this is beauty, it made me feel broken and whole at the same time, made me feel alive through my tears. Respect! love him.
+Mohd Anas "It made me feel broken and whole at the same time" - I couldn't have worded it better, to be honest.
Mohd Anas very true man
Tbh, you have to first be broken in order to become stronger. Also , agreed.
Lovely. Just lovely.
I was thinking and feeling the exact same thing and came to post about it and funnily enough this was the top comment.
Oh lord, just want to be sitting around a campfire with friends in Big SUR with Ben Howard there playing his guitar !
I love this cover. Haha. His smirk when he sings "I need a love reaction".
2024 and still welling up when this comes on
Hammer Song, eben erst gehört, 10 Jahre später...trotzdem hat es umgehauen! :::)))
This is definitely💯💯💯💯💯💯the best alternative acoustic cover of this track,like,,, there has ever been!!!👌
he wont change his style, this is him and we love him
I have come from the future to tell you he has in fact changed his style, like 4 different times lol
2019 and I still watch this. I live for Ben's music and voice.
How has he not done an official release of this cover??? Need this on spotify
2023 and I still watch this. I live for Ben's music and voice.
Love how Ben Howard gives this song a different feel to it. More sombre and world weary.
Been listening to this for probably the past 5-6 years and it's easily the best cover I've ever heard
Go listen to Sam fenders, not saying it's better but it slaps lol
The more I listen to his stuff the more I like him. Just brilliant
i love how Ben adds a new dimension and meaning to every word.
his music makes me feel something inside. maybe it's hope. i owe ben so much for helping me feel again...
feel ya
it's not just hope. It's the feeling that it is alright for one to be lost once in a while. a feeling that shit happens a feeling that maybe one day it will be just fine.
it can't rain all the time
How to play dancing in The Dark Ben howard
Being human is tough. But feeling that feeling is good, means you're still alive.
very touching, yet eerie, poignant---- totally beautiful.
It looks like he doesn't even try. Its so amazing and genuine and beautiful and perfecttttt
An amazing voice covering a legend is always a great combination
Great version of the Bruce song. I don't see much point in artists doing covers that are just the same as the original. Much better when they do the cover version in their own 'voice', style etc, like here. Ben is great. I'd love to see him do some stuff with fellow West Country artist Seth Lakeman.
af first, i was like... wtf is this... then magic happened. amazing.
Can't believe I've never heard this until now!
Will I ever get tired of his voice? Everything he sings sounds so... touching.
What a beautifull version of the song...totally made his his own...so touching and wonderfull....Ben u are something else!!!...each and every time you surprise with another master piece....I hardly listen to any other artists these days...my playlists are all about you....huge respect & admiration....just love ye!!!!!❤️🙏🏽

Jesus. How can he be so perfect?
Milly, Because it's Jesus who made him. So much talent, musical genius that he was born with.
Dancing in the dark is one of my favorite songs of all time and I like the calm cover because I can fall asleep to it
2021. Downside - COVID19. Positive- Ben Howard covers... every cloud!
Seriously, this man is perfect! Saw him perform live a few days back. Incredible!
Excellent cover of a classic. Made it your own. Thanks for sharing.
Thank God for music. It's helped me survive the loneliness of a global pandemic
A perfect artist.
There is nothing he can't do, such an underrated talent
this kid is amazing!!! im so overwhelmingly happy that he really gets it, even with todays industry.
I love the original and it's one of the best songs ever but damn, this cover is so amazing. Good job Ben!
Bruuuuuuuuuuuce Bruuuuuuuuce Bruuuuuuuuuce. Like the TV-format of this video, music is of the real old school of really old school of the rock'n'roll legend!
Cant stop listening, is there a "repeat" button for youtube? Class
This is an absolutely flawless cover, incredibly beautiful and melodic
Everything Ben Howard is just perfect...
I love that room and the view in the window.
brings utter serenity .wow
the original is one of my all time favourite songs, and ben just takes it to a whole new level. i cant even begin to express how insanely talented he is...
OMG hes in a rotating room!!!
what an absolutely beautiful version of this song. i mean the boss put this song to a pretty upbeat tune, but listening to this somber version you hear the real meaning behind the lyrics.
TL ; DR, THE BOSS + BEN HOWARD = PERFECTION
AMAZING... its pure, sensual, deep and eargasmic :)
this is the most beautiful cover of this jam
potato ain't a fruit, potato is a root! love me some ben, guy's a force. met ben and the band all in austin, tx during SXSW 2012 - last gig of their trip, in a dying texas heat in the desperate arms of the afternoon - these folks were nicer than my next door neighbors. nothin but love and support for this troop. next time in austin, stay with me - we do not dissapoint. =)

Omg thank you Ben Howard I love you so much and I love this song reminds me of my childhood

Brilliance.
Still listening in 2024, love you Ben ❤️
I feel so sad... But it's okay... Love you, Ben. Love your music! :*
