    His music gives me a feeling i've never had when listening to any other music. I can't describe it.

      +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 :)

    Perhaps the most beautiful and haunting song I have ever heard.

    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 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

    • @Crimsonzs
      @Crimsonzs 3 роки тому +3

      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.
