He's come out just a few years past, and I've truly never heard a voice this powerful since I first heard Thom Yorke or Jonsi. Absolutely awe-inspiring.
there are only few artists these days where they actually enjoy playing for their audiences with whole of their heart. Ben is one of them, one genuine artist.
this is the best version of keep your head up and i'm confident in saying I've seen virtually every one of youtube, Hell.. Every one of these songs are some of his best performances to date, truly brilliant.
I spent my time watchin' the spaces that had grown between us. And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greenness. And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in, And I try my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim. Now walkin' back down this mountain With the strength of a turnin' tide Oh the wind's so soft on my skin, The sun so hot upon my side. Oh lookin' out at this happiness, I search for between the sheets. Oh feelin' blind to realize, All I was searchin' for was me. All I was searchin' for was me. Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No, no, no, no. Keep your mind set, keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin' Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No no no no, Keep your mind set in your ways, Keep your heart strong. And I saw a friend of mine the other day, And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'. Oh I said I'd been away, and he knew, Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'. And it felt so good to see his face, All the comfort invested in my soul. Oh to feel the warmth of his smile, When he said, "I'm happy to have you home." I'm happy to have you home. Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No, no, no, no. Keep your mind set, keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin', Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No no no no, Keep your mind set in your ways, Oh, keep your heart strong. 'Cause I'll always remember you the same. Oh eyes like wild flowers oh with your demons of change. May you find happiness there, May all your hopes all turn out right. Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. Oh, no, no, no, no. Keep your mind set, keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin', Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No no no no, Keep your mind set in your ways, Keep your heart strong. 'Cause I'll always remember you the same. Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.
It's so cool to hear this early version of Keep Your Head Up. I like the EK version more for sure, but its basically like finding a new song of his. Love it.
All I am is the bones you made for me So garishly clean White as the horses, that carry me away And all my demons, you said, come and go with a haze I might as well took a plane I grow old in my way Oh, just like you do Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom Oh, there ain't no darkness that I fear Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more, no So be clear, just to be clear So be clear, be clear All I am is the bones you made for me Just driftwood for the sea Oh, heavy as the horses, that carry me away That carry me away Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom No, there ain't no darkness that I fear Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more, no So be clear, be clear Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom (oh, oh, oh) No darkness that I fear (oh, oh, oh) No way to say I love you more, woman So be clear, just to be clear So be clear, be clear Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom No, there ain't no darkness that I fear Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more So be clear, be clear
No. Both have the capo on the 3rd, but the 5th sting are tuned in F, and the 6th string are tuned in A#. Or vice-versa... Sorry for the bad english! :)
The audience mainly consists out of radio dj,s festival and clubs promoters and producers etc. Dont blaim themfor listening and enjoying in stead of screaming
i wonder why they threw the extra verse of keep your head up out! and the audience, well, ben howard wasn't that known or popular back then but they could've cheered a weee bit more for so much awesomeness!!
Does the piece of black tape serve a function? Diamonds didn't sound anything like the record and in my opinion that's a good thing. Something about the cello sounded very off and kind of ruined the song. The mix seems a bit off as well, India's voice almost overpowers Ben's in some parts. I realize I'm being a jerk by saying all this, still a very good performance overall, The Wolves is steadily becoming my favorite live song of his, even more so then Only Love and The Fear.
Empty corridors ❤ 2023
Who's still watching Ben Howard recordings from before he got famous, in 2020??!
And even still in 2022
am i the only one who doesn't like what ben howard is doing now?
I was with the high flying birds with my youngiin for a bit
Get your bikini on my baby
@@Sarxens Music style changes. People change.
31 minutes and 42 seconds of pure perfection.
Nice to see that actual bands still exist. Starting to become a big fan of Ben Howard. A nice change to all the pop bands we're exposed to...
THEE best version of Keep Your Head Up by FAR and I've damn near seen every last one of them on UA-cam. Love this guy
Totally agree!!!
This version of “Keep your head up” is something that can’t be described. It makes me come back on a daily basis.
Howard Howard makes the best music i love him so much!
haha love the way he makes the mistake at 30 seconds but covers it up so well
his face is like "well, this is a rubbish note but i guess i´ll pull a good melody out of it nonetheless"
He's come out just a few years past, and I've truly never heard a voice this powerful since I first heard Thom Yorke or Jonsi. Absolutely awe-inspiring.
Beyond talented and so captivating! The lyrics are pure poetry.
Hi, you want to come play pool tonight? We have memes.
I'm gay
there are only few artists these days where they actually enjoy playing for their audiences with whole of their heart. Ben is one of them, one genuine artist.
Best guitar musician I have EVER seen! Brilliant! Peace&Love
I happened across Ben and the gang a while back now.I just can't get enough of his raw talent and his songs are so emotional.Great stuff.
this is the best version of keep your head up and i'm confident in saying I've seen virtually every one of youtube, Hell.. Every one of these songs are some of his best performances to date, truly brilliant.
Yes you are absolutely correct brother Fukin awesome 👏🏻
All of them are TRUE MUSICIANS in every sense. It's a beautiful and very rare thing to hear and witness.
They don't make em like THIS anymore.
I haven't seen him "drum" his guitar at all for a long, long time. I wonder why......it's fascinating to see how he does it. I miss that.
Magia y Fantasía en cuerdas, tambores y voces humanas, ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Thanks TheBodiebo!!!!!, Ben Howard, Genie long life
That extra verse in "keep your head up" IS SO AMAZING!
He and his music are just perfect
such a legend and such beautiful lyrics- would do anything to see him live.
love seeing the very original version of Keep Your Head up live...just brilliant what a talent
God what a sad song . Well played and all the emotion in the song that is missing in the story . Wow
empty corridors is an eargasmic song
Haha tooo right yoda
Keep your head up best's version ever , thank you very much to upload this

Best half hour of the day. Still....
Tengo que lograr verle en directo, qué genio es, adoro su forma de tocar la guitarra.
Pure love for this man❤️
from small venues to Glastonbury - I'm proud of him !
I spent my time watchin' the spaces that had grown between us.
And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greenness.
And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in,
And I try my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim.
Now walkin' back down this mountain
With the strength of a turnin' tide
Oh the wind's so soft on my skin,
The sun so hot upon my side.
Oh lookin' out at this happiness,
I search for between the sheets.
Oh feelin' blind to realize,
All I was searchin' for was me.
All I was searchin' for was me.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my my darlin'
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No no no no,
Keep your mind set in your ways,
Keep your heart strong.
And I saw a friend of mine the other day,
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.
Oh I said I'd been away, and he knew,
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.
And it felt so good to see his face,
All the comfort invested in my soul.
Oh to feel the warmth of his smile,
When he said, "I'm happy to have you home."
I'm happy to have you home.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my my darlin',
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No no no no,
Keep your mind set in your ways,
Oh, keep your heart strong.
'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wild flowers oh with your demons of change.
May you find happiness there,
May all your hopes all turn out right.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my my darlin',
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No no no no,
Keep your mind set in your ways,
Keep your heart strong.
'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.
Jesus, this man is talented.
This isn't easy to do...
Wynne Philpott it's pathetic how good he is. Thank you very much for introducing me to this. :)
The way he plays the guitar during empty corridors is bad ass
Magician 🎩 or what ❤Scotland
Nice upload. Faith in humanity officially restored.
This is like magic, it's sound incredible 😌 it's relaxing
It's so cool to hear this early version of Keep Your Head Up. I like the EK version more for sure, but its basically like finding a new song of his. Love it.
Agree.
Incredible !
That cello on Old Pine was so wonderful
I looove this version of keep your head up!
Love this guy!
oh my God Ben I need to see you live before i die
cant get enough of ben howard!
I like the way he extends keep your head up. Very Dave Matthews esk.
THE BEST
All I am is the bones you made for me
So garishly clean
White as the horses, that carry me away
And all my demons, you said, come and go with a haze
I might as well took a plane
I grow old in my way
Oh, just like you do
Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
Oh, there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more, no
So be clear, just to be clear
So be clear, be clear
All I am is the bones you made for me
Just driftwood for the sea
Oh, heavy as the horses, that carry me away
That carry me away
Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
No, there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more, no
So be clear, be clear
Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom (oh, oh, oh)
No darkness that I fear (oh, oh, oh)
No way to say I love you more, woman
So be clear, just to be clear
So be clear, be clear
Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom
No, there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more
So be clear, be clear
His shirt is nicely ironed
+Bballbunny10 i agree
that it is
Yes, yes it is nicely ironed. Well done, have two memes.
Man, "Wolves" is such a cool live song.
impossible not to sing the "uhuhuh uh uh" of The Wolves with Ben!
stunning
Ben is awesome!
The man is beyond pure talent.
No. Both have the capo on the 3rd, but the 5th sting are tuned in F, and the 6th string are tuned in A#. Or vice-versa... Sorry for the bad english! :)
amazing amazing amazing
great performance
it may be strange but a complete silent audiance is someting that some artist can only dream of!
Amazing.
Amazing!!
Strange to see Ben Howard singing while the audiance doesn't sing along. Probably won't ever happen again ;-)
Incrível!!
Amazing
Extra verse at 20:30
who the fuck cares
i think its a good verse its different but fits nice
That "extra verse" is from the original version of the song from his first EP. The album version cut it out :)
who else watched the whole thing?
Start at 22:30 god damn, I love this version ♡
F#@KING MARVELOUS!!!
IN LOVE WITH HIM
Me too lol
If they had thrown Only Love into this set, and then finished with Promise and Under the Same Sun, this would of been the perfect show.
Very cool :-)
23:44 totally breathtaking
That moment when no one is screaming when they are starting to play Keep your head up haha
14:51 that girl looks like she's planning on kidnapping ben haha, fantastic set, flawless as usual, ben and the band you're all fantastic.
that audience barely knew him in 2011. Ben break through in the Netherlands only last year.
well said
Haha indeed, cheers for the upload man! :-)
This crowd had no clue what they were witnessing, had they?
The audience mainly consists out of radio dj,s festival and clubs promoters and producers etc. Dont blaim themfor listening and enjoying in stead of screaming
i wonder why they threw the extra verse of keep your head up out! and the audience, well, ben howard wasn't that known or popular back then but they could've cheered a weee bit more for so much awesomeness!!
15:55 ben smiles, ur welcome
15:14 WOW
He can play the guitar like he is playing dulcimer
Bad ass
It's actually better when the crowd doesn't sing along. Believe it or not, Ben Howard's voice is better than the majority of people in crowds...
Is "The Wolves" in the same tuning as "Only Love"?
ben ,please marry india and when you have had your perfekt child,make chris the godfather. then give him a guitar.
Que platéia horrível....esse povo está vivo??? Ben Howard é sensacional!!! Queria eu estar lá.
Does the piece of black tape serve a function? Diamonds didn't sound anything like the record and in my opinion that's a good thing.

it holds the system inside the guitar so he can plug it into an amp
22:43
Shy's away those grey (wo)men
maybe shock...
