I have been blessed by having many wonderful close friends, family, girlfriends, and some mentors. I have totally lost some of those relationships entirely despite how wonderful they were. Although this song seems that it was originally written about a significant other, when I listen to it I think of all the people I have known who, either from their choice, mine, or just naturally growing and drifting apart we no longer talk to each other. When I listen to this song I cherish the times I had with each of those people, but I also affirm them in their needing to move on, my needing to move on, or just that that happened in our relationship. Best wishes, thoughts, vibes and prayers to all of you, wherever you may be! Thank you for being part of my life!
This song is about not being able to watch a person destroy themselves. I know this because I was the person that put a good human being through awful things. She stayed with me through thick and thing…but my lifestyle was so unpredictable. I don’t fault her for walking. I woulda done the same thing. Miss, love and respect her. Think about her every single day of my life. I just want to state for the record, I never abused her or anything of that sort. I abused myself and she couldn’t stand to see me doing it to myself. That’s on me, it’s my fault and no one else but the man in the mirror. It’s just fucking hard missing a person you loved so much.
Yes sir so very fucking hard... and worse with them constantly on your mind and you've done so many things that everywhere you got their presence yet they themselves aren't...I will not try agian... it's made me a frenzied rack of nerves, worried and overthinking...I didn't want to do anything to make him wanna go yet again...but it didn't fucking matter again... I hate myself for the sole reason me being me is unlovable 😥😭 quite hate my mother fucking self...and becoming numb and unaware...just here and idk if being here like am is really
Less of a song, more of life lesson. Seeing someone you love being torn apart by someone else and staying with them, well that’s a particular type of pain
I envy those of you that hear this song and think of a lost romantic relationship. I really do. To me this song represents something I cannot reclaim in this life. Here's to those beyond our reach. May we meet again...
You had a specific idea in mind when you said that but missing someone who is dead is NOT worse than missing someone who is alive but acts dead to you! Being "ghosted" by a loved one who's still alive is painful!
@@AndresFnt the worst sadness I've ever felt was someone who I was with for yrs and when we broke it off acted like I never even existed. It made me question 10 yrs of my life, wasted...when I never wound have wanted to see them that way...i never thought he'd cite them as such. Friends told me he had to do that in order to move on. I get that...but cold. He just started following me on FB almost 10 yrs later. He has a wife and just had his first kid. Weird timing. Maybe comparing what he had to what he lost. I dunno. Life is painful. When you're a kid it's all happy and carefree. The older you get you realize the happy moments come farther and few between. So cherish them with all your heart.
@@AndresFnt Andres, it IS painful. But I think Kayla knows something that is deep, when some one dies, you can never see them again. Gone. People can make up, text, etc. Bilur the one who does...you pray for God to being them back even if it's their ghost. That is the loneliest .That's how it was for me. But you are right as well. Ghosting hurts horrifically
I remember going to Basic Training and having this song stuck and my head several times. I had a friend mail me the lyrics. Amazing how a song can take you back.
This song made me cry a lot like a baby. 7 Months ago, I met a beautiful girl, having her in my life is one of the most amazing things ever happened in my life. I will miss you babe, I will miss your blue eyes, I will miss the way how your smiles warm me up when Im down, I will miss the way you kiss me coz I still can feel it now. I have leave everything behind in next 2 months. My whole family is moving to a new town :( One day I will come back and win you back babe, coz you are my destiny
Mark Ewington Reminds me of this quote, "Did you ever hear about the man that was searching for the perfect woman? Well, he found her, but she was searching for the perfect man."
What if you found the man or woman you were drawn to like no other before, passionately in love with, kismet chemistry in every way...BUT you were toxic for one another. So alike it made you butt heads, combative and also the best lustful/in love/two bodies as one sex you ever had. Tried to mage it work for years. Ended it because you knew it was unhealthy...but still haven't found anything like it almost 10 yrs later
I dedicate this to someone. Why did it have to be you? I thought we would last forever. And that is gow it felt. But now I should just walk away. Although I am gone I still will miss you and think about you. :'(.
Someday, I will send this to her. I had to let her gon45 years ago this week. I've recently talked to her. I need for her to this, I'm sure she will when the time is right. I know it's not the time yet. Last year, I wrote to her and told her how I felt about her. When the time is right, I know she will find this song. I know what she's been put through. When the time is right for her to hear this she will find it. This is for her, may she find the way for herself
I love an amazing girl with my whole heart . And while she isn’t ready to love me the way I love her , that’s ok . We had 6 months of amazingly good times . We are soulmates and I believe someday we will be together . A love like that comes around once in a lifetime . But sometimes , sometimes, we have to walk away 💔💔 Love you BLH 🫶
Even though MY world came to an abrupt halt. The OUTSIDE world kept on moving. Years have passed...but I will always love you the same as the day I met you, Leah Alexandria Fabian. I'll see you in another life.
Walk away is the wrong eat thing to do because you are turning your back on someone or something you love And love endures hopes believes and does all things for the big guy in the sky
my mom wrote this and he bought it off her im so proud so now whenever im sad i listen to this and i know you dont believe me but i swear im not lieing
me gusta pensar que el me quería tanto como me lo dijo tantas veces... que me quería tanto que me dejo ir. la distancia era nuestra peor enemiga, pero yo trate tanto de combatirla pero creo que para el pudo mas la distancia que el gran amor que decía tenerme :'(
Whoever typed the lyrics made a boo boo. Its not..."once again you are now here to be found".... Its "once again you are no where to be found".... Major difference between the two lol
I feel like a cigarette addict. I want to quit her but shes so addicting. And i kno shes unhealthy for me. Not only that but starting off young just made it harder. Therapy or silly over the counter things do not solve the problem. So the only thing that will probably work is cold shoulder. However, i do not want to feel the side affects. and if i keep her, im slowly killing myself. cigs and love are alike...they both suk

I concur brother...
I miss her...I miss her so....
There's a girl across the world that may or may not see this, as she listens to this song. She should just know that... to me... she's perfect.
I love this comment. It just really makes me happy. I hope she sees this.
nice comment dude...what happend? did she see?
nancy i love you
Might be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded especially if you have lived it. Thank you for posting those lyrics.
Yep, one the most truest songs that are out there...God love ben harper!
I feel this every day for the last two years I loved and let go
Never heard a Ben Harper song before, glad I came across this.. very nice song.. I miss her.. :'(
absolutely love this song
Less of a song, more of life lesson. Seeing someone you love being torn apart by someone else and staying with them, well that’s a particular type of pain
sometimes no matter how much love you have for him you have to walk away
this is the perfect music for a broken heart.....I have a love/hate relationship with you mr. harper
One of the great songs.

Did you ever get her back?

Why is it when you find the perfect one...its just something that can not be?

Jennifer White I know exactly what you are saying. I had the perfect woman and we just couldn’t make it work. We fought for 3 years and finally lost
this is just awsomeee
There's a mistake in the lyrics in the slide that appears at 2:39: "....you my friend are NOWHERE (not 'now here') to be found"
Luisa Bellini please just leave them they worked hard on this not to be corrected but for people to hear it
I dedicate this to someone. Why did it have to be you? I thought we would last forever. And that is gow it felt. But now I should just walk away. Although I am gone I still will miss you and think about you. :'(.

watching my best friend die, this song means so much to me.
Une mot , un seul mot : MAGNFIQUE.! :)
I love this song!!!! This is what I want played at my funeral...
My boyfriend use to sing this when were having a fight. And now Im just missing him so much! I just cant..
I miss mine too. Ya aint alone
This song reminds me of my ex-husband he had to walk away... he became a Jehovah Witness and became someone else. Prayers for him.
ditto on the x having me listen to it what an eye opener also
True...break the laws ...and let off the love and be the free bird for the life time...
Even though MY world came to an abrupt halt. The OUTSIDE world kept on moving. Years have passed...but I will always love you the same as the day I met you, Leah Alexandria Fabian. I'll see you in another life.
My ex gf died via suicide and it really killed my spirit. My mind. My reasoning. In my situation, I too, do hope to see her in heaven.
Walk away is the wrong eat thing to do because you are turning your back on someone or something you love
And love endures hopes believes and does all things for the big guy in the sky

This was written by Ben Harper in 1994..
Proof?
yeeep the best one (!).
Wouldnt it crush your heart if you found a comment from your ex who still has your heart!
Funny.. I came here looking for that, but to no avail. I guess that literally makes me a hopeless romantic.
sad, but so true...
@ninasabatino It can surpass any physical pain you can imagine. It says a lot about the Human soul. What complex, sentimental little creatures we are.
great
Rest in peace my friend agni
Wow
😅yah 6tabs is a fair share the fact remains that music guides heal directs and delvers us
what a beautiful song! I would focus on your pitch when you sing "love" its great but i feel like you may be holing back? you have a beautiful voice!
Are you giving voice lessons to Ben Harper?
😂😂😂😂While i agree he seems flat sometimes...its literally Ben Harper

Why is there not a Karaoke version?

Major difference between the two lol

It’s so hard to do and so easy to say ...
so sad my officers r preforming this dance silver spurs wiley :(
This is me...
Such a beautiful song!
If you have a few minutes, please check out the cover on my channel. Thanks!
I feel like a cigarette addict. I want to quit her but shes so addicting. And i kno shes unhealthy for me. Not only that but starting off young just made it harder. Therapy or silly over the counter things do not solve the problem. So the only thing that will probably work is cold shoulder. However, i do not want to feel the side affects. and if i keep her, im slowly killing myself. cigs and love are alike...they both suk
Should have used the simile "addiction and love" rather than....cigs.. lmao
I don’t smoke, but I know exactly what you mean... it’s really fucking hard, but sometimes you have to “walk away”. 😞
waht the hell im i high / gds
Bad translation !!
🙏💙
