Ben Howard stands on his own as one of the most inspiring singers I've seen for the past few years. His songs seem to exude comfort and vulnerability at the same time. They make me smile and feel sad. I'm not sure I've felt like this from a musician in a long, long time.
I would travel anywhere in the world, spend all my savings to listen to him live, up close and personal! Thank you Ben.. We are blessed that you are in this world and making again and again amazing heartfelt music. For me, it is like ultimate form of meditation to watch and hear you play. Thank you , thank you!
Me and my wife just bought a bus and are converting it to a motor home to take around the us to surf it. coffee, camping,surfing, ben howard, We cannot wait. His music is amazing
India is an excellent musician and possibly the best spectacle of the Ben Howard show. She literally moves from instrument to instrument and plays them each amazingly. I was bummed she didn’t play on his last tour
the beatles, the rolling stone, black saboth, adele, and now Ben Howard. these are best of the best which have kept england at the front of cutting edge music. 1 very proud english man here.
sometimes i wander what experience the song writer have gone through in order to write such beautiful song!! not mention the voice, plus the live satge, his face expression, the light, the tune! just make it perfect1!
I'm in love. Before I found Ben, I really didn't listen to this kind of music, now almost two years after I've discovered him, I'm a total fan of this kind of music. He is one of my favourite artists, and he truly is an amazing talent and performer and singer and musician. I only wish I had chance to see him perform live. :(
He built's it up in the beginning and then " BOOM "he shifts and totally changes everything, god daymn!! And I'm also very very great full because I was born and blessed with a music ear so I can listen to almost every music genre there is
Every song on his album should be as raw as this...! I much prefer him in front of a mic and someone just hit the record button. No layers, no tech... Ben Howard, his crew and a record button! Amazing ben. Thank you for the share!
" She's got a little house in town I sometimes go around, there To see her And she'll let me deep inside I sing her love songs But she'll turn them blind darkness Like she ain't the sentimental type I keep my heart in my pocket and I hold I hold it tight I know that she don't mind if I Go away and I don't call I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all I know that she don't mind if I Go away and I don't call I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all Through it all Through it all Her skin is softer than the bluest eyes Just with the warmth that I need Gives me a place To hide from the streetlights burning through the bedroom window In the shadows yeah there's loneliness we cling to When the morning comes We'll go, we'll go our separate ways Ain't no magic my dear, ain't no reason to stay I know that she don't mind if I Go away and I don't call I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all I know that she don't mind if I Go away and I don't call I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all Through it all Through it all And we fall through empty corridors And we talk in useless metaphors Yeah we fall through empty corridors And we talk in useless metaphors And we fall through empty corridors And we talk in useless metaphors Only cause we're lonely "
I found out about Ben Howard around 2011. I seduced my ex wife through his song. 5 years later and through a divorce I relate to him even more. His positive songs and pessimistic songs have helped me push through. wherever my ex could be I will always wish her the best. Thanks to Ben I have learned to be the better man. even if I'm lonely.
Amazing In my opinion Ben Howard is of the top musicians of our era pushing the creative and writing amazing music. What a unique talent and highly inspiring:)
Couldn't have said it better myself! Word for word, He is just the most inspirational guy. I feel in touch with things that seem so far away when I hear his voice.
This is great music. Really, really good. Saw him live on Rock Werchter 2012. One of the best live acts I've seen in my live and I am just desperate to see them live again. Them. All four of them :)
I bought my album through his website and it has a bunch of extra songs such as these waters /empty corridors /under the same sun /bones /I will be blessed and move like you want to. Plus a extra DVD with music videos an acoustic session and some behind the scene stuff.
See you at Eden Sessions this year! I can't wait, the last time I seen you live was in Scotland for Gentleman of the road about 2 years ago. you are amazing to watch and listen to... thanks for giving us your all.
Oh Ben how you make me pick up my guitar everyday when I listen to you. I want to see you live soo bad even better meet you than tell you thanks for coming to texas...PLEASE come to Texas
simply one of the greatest musicians of our time! glad to see there is some amazing people in this world keep up the good work Ben Sincerely, your 2nd biggest canadian fan?
Check out Glen Hansard, he has the same effect but maybe with a higher intensity 'Say it to me now' and 'leave' are good examples, as is anything he did with Marketa Irglova, I'm not comparing them, they just both have the talent to express a spectrum of emotions in each song. Pure Talent
please ben make this songs available worldwide, I'm from mexico and the only album i can get my hands on is your debut, but have to say i can't get enough of your live versions, make a live compilation or something, and if you do make it available on iTunes mexico haha, would love to help you guys, music like this is worth more than a few bucks, support people and buy their music!!
![[EP] Ben Howard - The Burgh Island](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NIDCxAWNvII/mqdefault.jpg)
He opened for Mumford & Sons. Best night of my life.
I'm happy just knowing this happened
Epic
I'm so jealous!!
Mumford & Sons should have opened for him. Ben was, is, and always will be the greatest musician ever.
Incredible, still same feelings about this after 12 years.

I share the same feeling.
Ben , makes my soul raise
+Marcelly Oliveira deep!
Never meet your heroes, dude. I hear he's really rude to his fans and really bitter when he's playing live these days.
I saw him live, it was pretty life changing. The cool thing is he sounds almost identical live as he does recorded. Super real music.
+Mateus Zanoni I saw him less than a year ago, and he was nothing but lovely
At 52 years old I recently discovered this man's music... Unreal... Better late than never...
Imagine driving around a country place with a bus while listening to this. Drinking coffee and camping over a landscape...
+Chiv must be priceless bro
Me and my wife just bought a bus and are converting it to a motor home to take around the us to surf it. coffee, camping,surfing, ben howard, We cannot wait.
His music is amazing
The Bennetts pick me up!! haha
A dream I hope to make come true.
Done it around Cornwall. I would hit repeat on the experience every month if I could.
Only Ben Howard can calm my storms
Can't sleep? Play his album. Best remedy! Just amazing!
do that most nights...
Jurgen Timmerman i do that too
too good to fall asleep to
always a good fix, purges bad days and pretty much the rest :>
Yes AMAZING!
I first heard this song more than 5 years ago and I still haven't heard anything as raw and passionate since. He is so underrated.
The same here
just such therapy. i have a brother starting chemo this week. thanks for giving people something real that they can feel.
He's got the voice of a sjaman ... Its like listening to an very old old reincarnated soul !
Mk43305 his voice isnt on point in this one but his guitar is amazing
ben said when india sings the really high "i know that she dont mind" they both crack up and you can see it. it makes me so happy omg. its at 1:16
Ahahaha that is brilliant good spot!

Me too love that is only at one side maybe two lost soul's even
I wonder the same listening to Radical Face, The family Tree: Roots album.
I just started discovering Ben Howard and honestly this song is one of best songs I have ever heard!
+Zuzanna xxx YOUR IN FOR A TREAT... HES EXTREMELY TALLENTED, SORRY FOR CAPS KEYBOARD IS STUCK ON CAPS HAHA
+Danny Bond (OneDoesAll) ahaha thats hilairious mate
This is awesome song Zuzanna! But try End of an affair live version by Ben... Its from other world
I'm in love. Before I found Ben, I really didn't listen to this kind of music, now almost two years after I've discovered him, I'm a total fan of this kind of music. He is one of my favourite artists, and he truly is an amazing talent and performer and singer and musician. I only wish I had chance to see him perform live. :(
I've sobbed relentlessly to this song. so beautiful and meaningful
A song about a lack of meaning, so meaningful
@@kayal5905 Beautifully said.
Gives me shivers. A damn fine feeling of shivers through my thoughts and veins.
perfection exists.
I know I'm just repeating other people's comments, but this is as close to perfection as music will ever get.
I'm an addict, this song gives me a reason to hold on and feel a little bit, thanks mr howard
every person in the audience is silent.. shows how gob smackingly incredible this man is. the most beautiful music there is..
7 years on i still listen back to this talented guy!
what a voice! so much meaning and depth
pure love for this song (like for most of his songs)
He built's it up in the beginning and then " BOOM "he shifts and totally changes everything, god daymn!!
And I'm also very very great full because I was born and blessed with a music ear so I can listen to almost every music genre there is
Every little bit of perfection in his songs salute my soul.
Ben, I hope you find happiness, and I mean really find it. I hope you find happiness and someone to share it with. Love your work! Thanks for this!
Thank you Ben. For properly illustrating how she makes me feel
God bless you. You heavenly creature sent to us. When you go take us with you for music is doomed for sure
firo fuck religion
dadedraak you are compounded by the moral framework you aspire to define yourself by. Set yourself free.
I have no words.. this STILL blows my mind every time I watch it.!
Could the world be silent and listen to this guy? please??!!
He’s by far the greatest to ever play a guitar , for me personally his content is so unique and relates to every single person in some shape or form
Every song on his album should be as raw as this...! I much prefer him in front of a mic and someone just hit the record button. No layers, no tech... Ben Howard, his crew and a record button! Amazing ben. Thank you for the share!
" She's got a little house in town
I sometimes go around, there
To see her
And she'll let me deep inside
I sing her love songs
But she'll turn them blind darkness
Like she ain't the sentimental type
I keep my heart in my pocket and I hold
I hold it tight
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all
Through it all
Through it all
Her skin is softer than the bluest eyes
Just with the warmth that I need
Gives me a place
To hide from the streetlights burning through the bedroom window
In the shadows yeah there's loneliness we cling to
When the morning comes
We'll go, we'll go our separate ways
Ain't no magic my dear, ain't no reason to stay
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all
I know that she don't mind if I
Go away and I don't call
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all
Through it all
Through it all
And we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in useless metaphors
Yeah we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in useless metaphors
And we fall through empty corridors
And we talk in useless metaphors
Only cause we're lonely "

Head strong my guy
his music makes me cry, then fly and run, then begin to think .... his music wrote life.
Thank you The Walking Dead. You may have sucked for the last two seasons but you're the only reason I know about Ben Howard.
Same hare hahahaha
haha same here :D

No doubt...in the prison, & Oats creeps upon you outta nowhere, 1,000,000 % the absolute best thing I got outta TWD...
I miss Ben! :(
DelScully I'm right here buddy!
He's touring this year! Wish he'd come to the States though.
The real art is how clear the audio is.
Amazing
In my opinion Ben Howard is of the top musicians of our era pushing the creative and writing amazing music. What a unique talent and highly inspiring:)
Why is this guy not really famous?He is amazing!!!
I'm afraid of getting tired of this song, so I don't listen to it often.
I just wish.. I could let go and listen to this all day long.
I heard this a while a go but lost the video and searched for like 2 hours trying to find it, it was worth it in the end!
A new favourite. He was just too amazing in Brisbane last Friday. Drinking out of a coffee mug the whole gig was a nice touch :)
just shivers, just shivers !!!!!!
Such a good track. Can't wait for the album to drop in spring!
I get shivers, every single time.
Couldn't agree more, your little speech gave me goosebumps.
And in London. Probably the best line up for a single gig I have seen for ages :)
God 🙏 this song represents a huge portion of my life
Perfect, just perfect. Ben Howard's music keeps me alive
Couldn't have said it better myself! Word for word, He is just the most inspirational guy. I feel in touch with things that seem so far away when I hear his voice.
Ben Howard, Thom Yorke, Jim Morrison = 60 % of my playlist
I swear i am really understanding you especially while i am listening to this song !
This is the exact version on Every Kingdom. Awesome.
+Norman Bates The song on Every Kingdom is the live version, and this version right here is my favorite lol.. and I'm very high.
Everything about this is actually beautiful.
Man these guys are mind blowing, I just can't get enough.
Seeing him twice within a few days of each other. Can't wait
His music is just pure art
I have been listening to this for a long time, still waiting for it be in the charts, ben seriously needs to be herd more!!! amazing
If Jesus was in the music industry, Ben Howard would be his competition.
can't. stop. listening.
Ben Howard, you are my hero!
I'm from Brazil and just love what you do!
This is great music. Really, really good. Saw him live on Rock Werchter 2012. One of the best live acts I've seen in my live and I am just desperate to see them live again. Them. All four of them :)
Ben is a raw talent but incredibly refined at the same time
Genius with a guitar 🎸
This is just so good it literally cant get any better, perfection
This performance slaps - figuratively and literally
Ive been a fan for 4 years. This is one of my favorite versions of this song. KEEP IT UP!
Whoa, what a vivid description! & quite accurate😳😛, have ALWAYS ADORED Mr. Howard's ability of playing his guitar as a drum!
So much feeling in the sound, love it!
I bought my album through his website and it has a bunch of extra songs such as these waters /empty corridors /under the same sun /bones /I will be blessed and move like you want to.
Plus a extra DVD with music videos an acoustic session and some behind the scene stuff.
This July In the Phoenix Park Dublin Ben Howard will be joining Mumford and Sons for what will be a hell of a gig
Simply amazing!
One of my favorite musicians!
See you at Eden Sessions this year! I can't wait, the last time I seen you live was in Scotland for Gentleman of the road about 2 years ago. you are amazing to watch and listen to... thanks for giving us your all.
there's not another musician on the planet that plays the sit down like he does
I can only hope that one day I'll be able to play the sit down like he does.
Oh Ben how you make me pick up my guitar everyday when I listen to you. I want to see you live soo bad even better meet you than tell you thanks for coming to texas...PLEASE come to Texas
I CANT DEAL WITH WATCHING HIM , IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY . I LOVE HIM SO MUCH , marry me Ben Howard?

This makes me smile
You don't understand how bad I want to see him live :(
I saw him live in London on friday. Highly recommend going next chance you get. =)
I don't know a thing about music, but that shit he does with the guitar looks bloody difficult
Slap Guitar is some crazy shit bro, probably the most difficult thing you can do with a guitar ever
Roflmao xD im good
Its not that hard to play tho but the timing and precision that he plays with makes it unique.
If you think that looks, difficult check out under the same sun lol
one of my fav songs of all time❤❤
simply one of the greatest musicians of our time! glad to see there is some amazing people in this world keep up the good work Ben
