+TeddyPerv Same, can't get enough...and this song, so beautiful, so broken sounding. It's truly magical. I think the feeling is a mix of warmth and anxiety.
Pure genius. This is without a doubt the best rendition of esmeralda i've ever heard, so intense and haunting. It's mesmerizing to witness such pure and raw emotions poured in a performance. Ben has the rare gift of taking you to another place with his music, a place of beauty and melancholy where you just want to live permanently :)
I always get the most beautiful visuals when I listen to Bens songs. I picture a woman standing at the edge of a cliff. Moody day, with thunder roaring in the sky. Large waves crashing beneath her feet. Like she’s on the edge playing with the idea of death. Hauntingly beautiful! Perhaps I resonate with that feeling in my younger years, but I feel reborn from that place of rage, and I’m blanketed by grace because the storm has passed me by.
This is a brooding mix of Pink Floyd and Simon and Garfunkel, but so painfully personal and emotional. Thank god artists of this generation can make music like this! On a side note, possibly the best acoustics of any concert venue I have ever heard, worth the listen for that alone!
I have never had such chills from a song This is pure raw talent!!! See you October 29th Toronto, Canada, can't wait for this concert!!!! 2023 Toronto Canada,
I try to process my thoughts as I watch this video, I mostly feel happy and light and grateful, and even playful... and I just pray... that the past doesn't get in the way of my happiness... and that all my stresses don't overwhelm me... that they may all just dissolve into the nothingness from which they came... and... there's a person I want... fuck, I have such a HUGE damn crush on this person!! and I just want them to want me, just as I am. to need me, to love me, to hold me, to desire me, to kiss me, to belong to me... to long for me... I pray for true love.
Oh, blinded now I see that I Could not hold you My orange tree left in the darkened Room for three of us to share Oh maybe you were free before my Blackened wind covered you I took the sing from your song I made a bed Where you don't belong Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up Black Sea, I failed to be a light you found in love Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved Now I'm going places on my own Blinded now I see the death Moves amongst us And with such ease arrived To surround us These silent beasts are hard to bear Lonely, oh no not me I have a grave to dig Fast moving feet, you gave me light Where it once was gone I made a bed Where you don't belong Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up Black Sea, I failed to be the light you found in love Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved Now I'm going places on my own
OMG OMG OMG, do you have the complete show?? The full concert has been deleted of youtube, and i love so much that show!! I need that!! If you have, please answer me! (And sorry for my english, i'm speak portugues) haha. Please helpe me!!!!
Blaming himself for the relationship failing. Songs like the monster killing the melody we loved was miscommunication or probably just him. Having a grave to dig means burying the relationship and 'Death moving amongst us' is the impending death of their relationship. It's also speculated that this love interest had killed herself. It's up to interpretation but those are the main ones. Take whatever version you wish it to be.
His music gives me a feeling i've never had when listening to any other music. I can't describe it.

It’s called being a Ben Howard fan... we are so lucky
Couldn’t agree more
There is an actual term for it...but goddamn is he something else 😅🙏
I know exactly what you mean!
I don't know how he does it. He's a genius, so many of his songs are masterpieces. Haunting
Still here. In its own right the best Ben Howard performance ever.
I keep coming back to this every so often.
I guess 100k people knowing good music is better than none...

Agreed
Well said! Watching this years later and still in in awe. ❤
Perhaps the most beautiful and haunting song I have ever heard.

I consider myself a writer, but this is beyond beautiful. I’m currently standing on that cliff
Purest version of Esmeralda.
I was at this gig. The acoustics were incredible.
I am jealous! ❤

How any one can dislike this song is beyond me... I live my feelings and life through music... This song pretty sums up my life just now in words
I try to process my thoughts as I watch this video,
I mostly feel happy and light and grateful,
and even playful... and I just pray...
that the past doesn't get in the way
of my happiness...
and that all my stresses don't overwhelm me...
that they may all just dissolve
into the nothingness from which they came...
and...
there's a person I want...
fuck, I have such a HUGE
damn crush on this person!!
and I just want them to want me,
just as I am. to need me, to love me, to hold me,
to desire me, to kiss me, to belong to me...
to long for me...
I pray for true love.
True love will come .. hold on xxx
I just want a whole song of that last, "AND NOW I'M GOING PLACES ON MY OWN"...
This song is so perfect
I was there
It was magical
The only song that conveys this sentiment
How can someone make something this beautiful is beyond me. This man ❤️
Shivers, shivers all over.
Spot on.
Oh, blinded now I see that I
Could not hold you
My orange tree left in the darkened
Room for three of us to share
Oh maybe you were free before my
Blackened wind covered you
I took the sing from your song
I made a bed
Where you don't belong
Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up
Black Sea, I failed to be a light you found in love
Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up
Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved
Now I'm going places on my own
Blinded now I see the death
Moves amongst us
And with such ease arrived
To surround us
These silent beasts are hard to bear
Lonely, oh no not me
I have a grave to dig
Fast moving feet, you gave me light
Where it once was gone
I made a bed
Where you don't belong
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up
Black Sea, I failed to be the light you found in love
Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up
Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved
Now I'm going places on my own
Turin Darien it's not poor me, it's call me.
