I dont even think Ben Howard knows how he has lyrically touched my soul in every single song he has wrote. Feel blessed to listen to this beautiful music
Thank you for putting into words the exact feelings I have about him and his songs! Couldnt agree more!
The entire album is so closely connected with water, I'm talking about how every note of his guitar just flows and merges with the other in fluid-like perfection, and this song is... well, amazing, but also my favourite. Congratulation, Ben. Even better than Every Kingdom at times, didn't think it was possible.
Agreed.Love this album even more than the previous one! :) ♥
In other words, lots of reverb and delay ;)
I agree that it's better than Every Kingdom and I love that it's so different. His voice suits a full band and electric guitars just as well as it does a single acoustic guitar!
I agree..!!! He is so SO AMAZING
its because he is/was a surfer and spent a lot of time in and around water
coolguytrevor I know that. he's still a surfer. he even does charity work for 'surfers against sewage' :)
He is such a perfectionist, he ran through the intro of this song probably 4 times recently at a concert in Nashville. He was making adjustments, until he was satisfied. I really appreciate that, his music oozes passion, maybe borderline obsession. My only complaint is that he has ruined sub par music for me haha
WOW. I'm blown away. Doing homework while listening to Ben Howard is extremely difficult because I just want to focus on the music and his lovely voice
4 years later and this still slaps lol
+Theodora Rentouli Hahahahahah.... That makes... Sorry how many of us was that? I was listening to the song...
fuck the homework..when Ben is on the menu i just stand still whatever i am doing..and i am old enought to say that....it is dangerous music i tell you :) standing still like some kind of hymn is on or something
Amen to that! I just tried and got lost in this
I am trying to program while listening. I am currently failing in my development project. hah who cares.
Omg I know right! I'm 4 days away from oct nov exams and here I am falling in love with his voice.
My stomach hurts listening to this. It's so beautiful and my belly is full of butterflies. Perfect.
Rhiannon Thomas god I feel the same way I feel like my stomach is caving in and I can't breathe how the hell does Ben howard do this
"I am not myself
Today
I am not feeling
Okay"
But your music helped as always..much better now :)
2020 and still one of my all time favs 😀
🤘
Same here ✌️
Syrus the VIRUS...2020...Corona!?
Indeed, magical, powerful.....
Masterpiece :-)
And you, showed me hope amidst the harlequins in spring
and you, told me life was learning how to be your friend
♥
+a aaa strikes me as someone who has succumbed to suicidal thoughts but telling everyone around them that life was fine and they were feeling better
For me this is definitely the best song off the album, it really seems to portray where I am right now. Very emotional.
Great election! That's my favorite song to!
Its incredible how much emotion he puts into this song, I'm having a tough time at the moment and some of the lyrics really hit home.. Had me in tears by the end, really beautiful song
has had the same effect on me at times....I have often wondered if he struggles with depression sometimes....because of some of his lyrics....just a hunch.....but I agree with you...
Music is so powerful. Hope your doing better . I find his music always hits a chord in my heart that aches.
I get shivers down my spine when he sings "with all of the sounds that you make" and you can see the emotion in his face and hear it in his voice. Every single time.
I get shivers at 3:43, the rawness of his voice when he sings "told me life was learning how to be your friend". The rendition of this song is so perfect!
Ben, how can you always perform so darn perfect? Wait, I know why......Its because you are perfection :)
couldn't have put it better.
Except at 4:59 :(
MM Harmon Mmmmm.......Still perfect :)
MM Harmon it was intentional!
I love the face expressions ben makes, he is a true legend to me.
You can see from his face and some of the natural elements in his vocals that this isn't just reciting and playing a song. This is cutting out your beating heart and placing it on the stage. This guy has some balls to open his emotions to the world like this
YES!
this is what makes quality music
Couldn't Explain it better Myself
Well said mate
That's why he got hurt and had to stop
Really miss this era of Ben specifically. I know artists change and evolve, but this album had a huge impact on my life. Saw him live 3-4 times around this album, and it was brilliant.
This is insane.
Helps me with my mothers passing he touches my soul Ben you are truly a musician and a poet
As a musician, this man is inspiring as hell.
Hell yeah
💀
For me, this song is about depression and the extent it has on a person who takes an active part in someones life who is diagnosed with depression. I can so relate to this song it's almost crazy. therefore my favourite on his superb album "I forget where we were"
This mans music and voice brings peace,love and warmth to a very frustrated, kind mind. Thank-You,
There isn't an album I've connected with more than I Forget Where We Were. Each song is FUCKING MAGIC to my ears. Every single time I listen to it I am brought back to the first time I heard it and filled with memories and emotions. These emotions feed me when I am feeling empty; It's amazing that music can do that. I will always love Ben Howard. He is one incredible musician that sings with every inch of his soul.
seeing ben howard in amsterdam in a couple of days, can't wait
i love how you can still hear his guitar style crystal clear even with his use of the electric guitar its such a subtle change but creates such perfect harmony THIS ALBUM IS PERFECT AND SO ARE YOU BEN HOWARD
Oh I beg for the world to change...
You told me life was learning how to be your friend...
Yeah 'know
This song has become one of my favorites, Ben Howard is opening my soul.
Same as can't stop playing omg in love
I think the live version is much better. That's how you know you've made it as an artist wow
I’m afraid he might be lip syncing here, at 1:07-1:11. I’m just not sure how he could be singing that part where he wets his lips..but maybe? 🤔
That progression at 4:00 is pure genius
I totally agree
+Ryan McCrossan have you heard the peformance at the Greek Theater of this song? Its insane
I love how the setting is all done in blue...Blue like the color of the sky the color of the ocean so deep beautiful full of mystery and secrets and then that golden light behind him because Ben is the Sun
best guitarist at the moment, just the way he uses it, he has his own unique style, isn't afraid to try something new. He can make the guitar do things some guitarists don't even think/dream about.
sam hepworth not necessarily, I mean he's one of my favorites but Damien Rice was doing similar things back in the. Check out his video of "I Remember (The End)" which was done live at the four sessions. Probably one of the best live musical performances I've ever seen. Ben Howard is definitely influenced by him.
Not to take away from how great Ben Howard is, but are you familiar with Tash Sultana?

Nah i dont' think that's true, there are better guitarists out there. That one guy from that band Muse for example lmao
David gilmour still alive lol
I think this is my fav song on the new album
Ben is unique. No one can emulate that sound. He is one of a freaking kind!! I listen to him and something strange happens to me. LOVE HIM!
This is how a perfect live performance sounds
Currently praying to the music gods that he will be on tour this year. I’ve been waiting to see him live for what feels like an eternity.
Brandon DeGraw and he is!
Saw him 2 weeks ago, he is fantastic!
4:38 when everyone is feeling it.
I just can't get my head around how amazing he/his music is.
I repeat this over and over again. ♥
This is absolutely beautiful! Can't get enough of your music Ben!
Man you are a true musician
This guy really is for the music not the fame when I went to see him live in manhattan October 12 he played all of noonday dream album ppl didn’t appreciate it. He gave zero fucks! Also when he left the stage he just waved and left again just about music
...and you told me life was learning how to be your friend. Damn Ben,you got me.
This song every time brings tears and gives me goosebumps
Mr howard. thanking you for all your incredible videos and music. every time I listen/watch you you blow me away and when I came to Birmingham to see you live last year. Was sad when the concert ended. but wow can't thank you enough.
Pretty crazy how the subtle addition of a tambourine lifts the outro to another level.
Best song ever
my inspiration 🥰 love from wales
Love this live version. Wish I could buy this one.
Money can't buy this kind of astonishing music
Perfection…pure perfection
When he says “I beg for the world to change, but it don’t” if everyone in the room didn’t feel that, they aren’t human.
how do you even write something like this? so amazing.
*Lyrics*
Hold it in love
The river in your mouth is pouring out
Water takes the
Shape of all that it surrounds
Yeah I know
I've been trying so hard to keep in time
With all of the hours in your day
Hold it in babe
Who let you out among the crowd?
Not like that
These streets will tear you down
How it is
Under my skin, now you are
Pictures of all you’ll ever be
Oh I am not myself
Today
I am not feeling
Okay
Hold it in love
The river in your mouth is pouring out
Water takes the
Shape of all that it’s around
Yeah I know
I been trying so hard to keep in time
With all of the sounds that you make
Hold it in babe
Come at you from both sides of your mind
Thick and thin these
Walls you’ll always stand behind
Are sick and tired
Oh I beg for the world to change
But it don’t
No it ain't all you and that’s the thing
Oh I am not myself
Today
I am not feeling
Okay
And you
Showed me hope amidst the harlequins in spring
And you
Told me life was learning how to be your friend
@@MloodyPL i swear he isn't even human
Wouldn't let you out amongst the crowd*
It's a high bar. But this is my favourite Ben Howard song.
It’s been almost three months since I’ve been stuck at home because of lockdown, and I can assure that this amazing song and this particular performance have been keeping me alive. The rhythm of this masterpiece, the gentle sequence of the chords and sounds, and the deep lyrics have teleported me to different dimensions without even moving. Thanks, Ben Howard, for giving us this piece of art to hold on to during these hard times. You’re the best artist I’ve discovered this year by far.
Stay strong man! Arriba la esperanza.
If you liked this song, try out Half Alive - RUNAWAY
I felt what he felt Singing this.
This live version till I die x
I can't get enough of Ben or this song! Students at The University of Washington love this!
What A Tune.
Pure genius this man, sincerely think he could be the most important musical artist of the century so far ... + I am in love with India Bourne
hah really?
I live him so much it hurts my heart! I was lucky enough to meet him last Sunday I'm Dublin and he's such a nice guy!!!
Love*
I am SOOOOOO envious of you....would LOVE to meet him or even just hear him live....how LUCKY you are!!
This guy just gets better and better.
I'm just discovering this amazing artist... Who is this Alien?
i really love how the cellist, i think her name is India, is always smiling while playing or singing it's really sweet
Thank you Ben Howard for your music and your passion! So nice!
It would be my dream to meet you one day, your songs are so beautiful, best artist of our time.
It was my dream for like 4-5 years and I bunked off work to try and meet him using my contacts at Radio 1, it worked and to this day, it still gives me butterflies thinking about it. I have met hundreds of people, like mega pop stars, but Ben means a lot more. There's something really special about his music.
Stumbled upon Ben Howard about 3 weeks ago. Magic.
You have the voice of an angel, Ben Howard. Good stuff, as per usual.
Seeing him live tomorrow. Excited is no where near good enough to express how I feel. Amazing.
Wheres he playing?
Darkheart1413 Dublin
so jealous.....would LOVE to see him live.
How was it? :)
incredible!
What a tune!!
2019 and still one of my all time favourites
Great musicians are timeless. You should check out Mozart......
Syrus the VIRUS...2019... Covid-19!?
2022
One of the best,if not,the best of our generation.amazing stuff Mr.Howard :)
I can't not watch it!!! Its so perfect!!!! Mind blowing!!!!! Good job Ben!
India Bourne. Has there aver been a girl more mind-blowing, talented, and beautiful. I'm seriously in love with this girl
LOVE the live version: one of the reasons why ben is AMAZING, he just brings something else thats undescribable to the live versions
I want to see Ben Howard and Half Moon Run do a song together because it would be a key point in music history
why would that be the case?
Both have very unique and powerful music i could see it being a very closely designed and well manufactured track
Memrro x YES.
it's a medicine for me, the best ever
Love love I'm sitting on a cloud in heaven with my mum this took me away ! God of music wow. True master of music
Ben Howard has to be my all time favourite solo artist. I've never known someone to sing with such emotion.
This is just beautiful
How can something be so delicate and subtle yet so brilliantly cathartic? It's magic indeed.
This is so brilliant. One of my favourite songs anyway but I come back to this performance all the time and watching him play so flawlessly through the harmonic notes along with normal notes at such speed through the song is unreal. Awesome.
i love him so much like i seriously cant even process or put my thoughts into words to express how much i love him
I've always been a fan of Ben Howards music but the 'Burgh Island EP' and 'I Forgot Where We Were' album are just incredible.
Still listening to this masterpiece in 2023
Listen again!
I've lost count the number of times I've listened to this song, when it hits 3:56, just brilliant.
They come at you from both sides of your mind, thick and thin......... these walls you'll always stand behind
He is so Dreamy :)
Chills every single time i hear that "AND YOU, TOLD ME LIFE WAS LEARNING HOW TO BE YOUR FRIEND!"
This guy is a legend
I miss Ben!!!!!
Solomon Kincheloe does anyone know if he is making new music? I've been searching the internet & there's no information. I feel like writing him a post card.
Zanele Traveling he released Noonday Dream in June. Great album, a grower
I don't know what took me so long!
Pure perfection.
It's to the point. And perfect as usual.
I'm guessing Ben likes water, loads of his songs feature boats, ships, rivers etc. Aww
This is incredible
10/10. excellent, beautiful atmosphere, powerful words.
i need to say that: thank you! thank you oh so much, its so incredbly helpful to have these recordings for when life hits hard
Genius!
3:42 - 3:52 Amazing, blown away!
He has to look away. It’s too much.
Ben Howard is just FUCKING UNREAL!!!! Maaaaaate!!! 🙏🏻
Thank you Ben Howard for making music that comforted me when I needed comforting. Your the best. One of my all time favorites. God bless you 😭💜
Inspirational moving song
Oh, this guy never fails to impress me. Amazing song, Ben.
