I'd be devastated if i lost my ears.
Agreed.
David Crown Yay, that makes me happy :D
Actually, if you lost your ears you would still hear! :D not so well, but the vital organs and bones that process sounds are protected inside your hard skull :P ( you learn something when you pay attention to anatomy classes, who would know haha )
I'd also be devastated if i lost Internet connection right now...
David Crown You are one very lucky man! I am very happy for you :D I hope that I can see him in real life one day..
Man I love your music, it gives me joy when I am happy and helps me out when I am sad. That spirit you put in your songs, I just want to tell you - people can sense it.. Please do more music. Thank you
Aw so do I! I love he's music and especially he's voice and the sound of the guitar
Thanks Todor for putting my thoughts into words! This is precisely what I feel like about Ben's music. Such an artist!
Very well said there sir, I could not agree more
Thank you for trying to explain what many of us think of his music :)
We all love his music :-)
A true artist a real talent. It's refreshing for a musician to come back after a critically acclaimed debut album with an achingly beautiful piece of music. A piece of music that radio stations will think is too long to play, a piece of music you know he loved and crafted over rather than conforming to record labels or success.
BBC Radio 1 is a funny little place. They can play the shittiest pop trash mixed with such beauties like this, nearly 8min long, tune. Kudos to Zane Lowe for promoting Ben's music
Well said gents. A song is as long as it needs to be and radio stations shouldn't be affraid of playing longer length songs because at the end of the day i'd rather listen to 7:48 of quality than two songs involving talentless people that have no input other than turning up and singing and even then they need auto-tune to make them sound good lol.
One day "popular" radio/charts will recognise talent over trash and i hope that day arrives sooner rather than later.
Yeah but I still think radios need to play this. God damn radios are gone to shit with the bs they play.
Welcome Back Mr. Howard!
Ben Howard is so much more interesting than other acoustic artists. Love the dark nuances in his style.
I love ben but kevin Devine
One of the most interesting artists. No other qualifiers needed :D
I'm in love with the way this song goes on. Started with calm, but still sad feeling, finished with fury. It's like a curtain that hides his furious, devastating feelings behind clearly calm, controled lyrics, which he meant for people around him.
The end of the affair
The weight of a war
The kindness gone to bed
The weight of your laughter
Alive in the hall
Did he hear, did he hear the fumbled words you said
Living without her
Living at all
Seems to slow me down
Living forever
Hell I don't know
Do I care do I care the thunders rumbled sound
And now I watch her
Running round in love again
Now I talk about you
When I'm with our mutual friends
The end of the affair
The weight of a war
The kindness gone to bed
The threat of your laughter
Alive after all
Did he hear, did he hear the fumbled words you said
Living without her
Living at all
Seems to slow me down
Living forever
Pale light on all
Do I care, do I care the thunders rumbled sound
Now I watch her running round in love again
Now I talk about you when I'm with our mutual friends
Could you be, could you be alone?
My hatred, my hate will bring me closer
This is it?
Well this is desert
And what of him?
What the hell love
What the...
Vojme ccc after..
It's not end of the after its end of the affair
@@lemonyzz0681 alrightyyy , modified it after 4 years, thank youuu
@@lemonyzz0681 Ben has used both affair and after in the past
@@MK-mj8cg well nice to know that. I think end of the affair fits the lyrics better though.
Is anyone else obsessed with this man? His music is so..!! I can't describe it. I just.. I.. Cause he's.. He's so.. And the music? Ugh.
+Zeyn Faddoul You can't even
You’re adorable
yes 😭 sent me into a 2 month long depressive episode but thats okay
Not all music is art, but that's the kind of music Ben Howard makes; masterpieces.
The new album is excellent, everyone. Flawless as far as I'm concerned.
@@mltaylor1840 hope you're up for this year's record)
Glad to see Power brought some much deserved attention to Ben Howard, so underrated, so talented. What I ask of you, my friend is to browse around, you won't regret it.
Not a lot of music makes me feel happy, sad, angry and excited all in the same track.
IKR!
The whole range man. Every single wavelength
This song live is absolutely spellbinding. A true beauty to witness.
Oh Ben, (insert appreciative sigh here). How thankful I am to have another earnest, well crafted narrative stream from your soul to mine. I sincerely thank you for sharing your astounding talent with myself and the world, for what a bleak world it would be without your unadulterated vocals and distinctive strumming.
This song brings up so many emotions in me
Not many musicians have the power to do so in every song yet Ben Howard never fails a real talent and a must see live
truest thing only artist who does it for me
Blows me away..........
The most beautiful thing a man ever created on this planet
Just when I thought you would not surprise me you made this. A true artist a real talent.
This. A pair of good headphones. Dark. Silence. Thoughts.
Can these drive you crazy?
Yes. They do.
damn Ben, i can't imagine a single day without your music !!
The direction he's taken: so unexpected, so right up my street! Can only thank you Ben.
On repeat.
Ben Howard's music is what emotions sound like. If you could literally translate emotions into something tangible, it would be a Ben Howard record. I've never felt so strongly listening to music. Nothing compares to his work. It's incredibly beautiful.
this song makes me feel so many deep emotions. I love what Ben Howard's voice does to my brain!
My mind and soul were shouting 'we need something new from Howard'. My mind and soul are both now pleased.
That moment when you realise how long this song is, having been so lost in the music. Ben Howard's music really is unbelievable! His voice and how he works his instruments is comparable to magic.
I don't know why but... by listening to this song, it gets me thinking of who i really am ...
very strange, but nice!
me too, I can't even explain it
Man, why doesn't stuff like THIS play on the radio?
Too good for radio
It does, you need to change radio station.
Joe Wilkes Not enough.
Radio 1 is good because they play a lot of good modern artists like Ben Howard or Ed Sheeran. Of course because they're a station based around the top 40, they do play some trashy shit that makes its way into that list too, but hey, you can't like every song you hear right. The Radio 1 DJs are good too with their funny banter :P
Because for the majority of people, this kind of vibe get them to think about themselves and their lifes, and they translate this feeling to "sadness" when some of us think of "beauty". Same thing as the big majority being afraid of boredom. Aaaand mainstream media, aiming at a majority of people, they give them what they want : staying in their comfort zone. This leads to the end of creativity, slowly sloping to the end of the world as we know it. (sorry if my comment sounds pretentious, or if the syntax isn't perfect)
Powerful song heard it on power during the closing scene. I was haunted by the song and the emotional ending of the episode.
Ben Howard has got to be America's best guitarist right now. And Ben Howard and Gregory Alan Isakov have got to be the best musicians in this country today. Listen to their albums and you will agree.
Very "Burgh Island".
Amazing.
Ben Howard is the greatest artist to ever walk this earth
Ben Howard is so underrated, geez.
Flawless.. I can't begin to explain how perfect this is.
4:48 absolutely blows my mind. This is incredible.
Only just started listening to this and I feel like crying. True and pure, Mr Howard x
Its nice to be able to actually hear the official audio instead of the struggle of listening to live performances where there are hundreds of people talking over him
Been listening to this for weeks. LOVE IT
On UA-cam yes, it's actually months old.
It's new Ben Howard? It got released today...
Same it's been good to see his new stuff. Love Conrad too. They album sounds like it's gonna be amazing totally different to the first
kurt shearwood the live performances of the new material has been up since June... search for Conrad, Small Things, Rivers in your mouth and his newest edition, In Dreams which is amazing.
Daniel Gregory he's performed it live for months
The more i listen to this album (every day), the more i find something new hidden in each song. The lyrics, and musical brilliance has outdone 'Every kingdom' in my opinion.
Cannot wait to hear Ben in Cardiff in afew months!
LYRICAL GENIUS!
That drop in the middle has got ibiza sunset written all over it. What a phenomenal tune. Just has everything. Best artist in the UK by a country mile
Thank you, Ben..
Forever the greatest artist
I wonder if Ben ever reads these coments...An artist can really see what people think of their music...unlike ever before....love you man
Just close your eyes and listen. Ben is a genius.
I love that twist when the aggressive desperation sets in..
There are not enough words to describe the love I have for this song. It was definitely worth the wait.
Was singing along to this at somersault festival and got congratulated by someone for loving ben howards stuff more than he did.. been waiting for this since for 3 whole months
With my ears I am lifted and cradled like a tiny bird so entirely am I cared for that as the music plays I am filled with beauty and set to the skies again........thank you Ben for you give the gift of flight my friend.....
My ex's boy .. being 5-6 yrs old would love listening to Ben Howard to fall asleep! I loved it as much as him.. he loved music.. even had is head bobbing to Sevendust! He was a good little man! I don't care what your age is what kind of species we are.. we can learn from one another and not even know it!
This feels like a sunset over the Ocean and the stars slowly appearing throu a dark blue sky, and then you breathe it Alllllll out as you watch the world and universe in awe!
Anyone else think he creates poetry through music?
I hope the rest of the album is like this - cold, dark, weary, so deeply personal. Mmm Ben you are a genius.
Reminds me of Foals a bit. Still a great tune, can not wait any longer for the album!
The delay in this song blew my mind when I heard it live in Melbourne last week. All his new tracks were killer!
I went to see him when he was touring in Glasgow. The way he played this song was phenomenal - when he hit the 4:47 mark I was actually too grounded to do much but gape in awe. Definitely my favourite band and musician of all time. If you have the chance to see him live, do it. It's a religious experience.
This tune is perfect. The guitar and the vocals just feed off of eachother, and every note has meaning.
Describing Ben Howard as anything less than a living God would be an insult to his person.. So amazing..
The emotion and passion in these lyrics are so amazing. I love this song.
Saw this song live last week, blew my mind, first concert ive ever been too aswell and first song he played, what a epic song to have as my first live song to see ever
Finally Mr.Howard. FINALLY. And it's amazing. Of course.
Just heard the radio program on bbc 1. Amazing! Finally the wait is over, worth it tho!
I love how Ben don't care about fame, he does his own thing and take chances. Respect!
No joke I've been sat here making weird noises of appreciation and excitement over those last 3 minutes. Can't wait for the album!
I have missed your music so much Ben!
a slow, aching river… tumbling, turbulent waterfall…. drifting away… tumbling again… crashing, gasping coming up for air…breathe, alive...
Power brought me here...This song gives me goosebumps. So deep, makes you evaluate your life. Damn...a song made me reevaluate my life...You've gained a new fan BH.
You're such a beautiful soul, Ben. Love love love love you! xx
I just had a minor heart attack when I saw this in my sub box. Oh my God, I can't wait for the new album, I've been replaying the old songs for 2 years now.
POWER...end scene
No sign of the "difficult second album" syndrome for Mr Howard....then again, it was hardly likely to happen with THIS much talent. Great song.
The heartbreak is palpable in this; the emotion is so clear... woah.
This is incredible, haunting.......... A future classic
Same. Power bought me here. Who chooses the music for the show? Perfect.Love the song. Love the show.
I genuinely can't put into words how much i love ben howard!, cannot wait till October, followed him from the beginning and will continue to for the rest of my days. His talent is one of a kind!!
Love it. Just like his burgh island EP. Can't wait for his new album. 😁
Power brought us here, just a beautiful yet sad track!
Wonderful. Glad you're back Mr Howard. Peace & Love
When a first listen of a song ends up with tears on your face, because it's just sung straight to your heart: it's more that good, it's bloody brilliant.
It almost sounds like he has gone through some serious darkness. It sounds so different than his previous album, so much darker. There is so much emotion in this song, always get goosebumps when I hear it. I've fallen deeply in love with this song!
This song helped me accept and be happy about what has happened so that I could become the man I am today.
So much more than a song! Did not believed my ears when i saw them playing it life. Thank you Ben and all the others for creating this great music!
For me, this song will always be a favourite.
The delicate melancholic beauty of the verses juxtaposes and sets up perfectly the musical intensity and ferocity of the emotional crescendo.
Music like this takes you on a journey and once the quiet riff comes in halfway through the song it recaptures your attention and investment and prepares you for the climax.
Can you tell I'm procrastinating from my Dissertation?
Can't. Wait. For. This. Album!
FINALLY! at ever concert, the performance for this song tops them all! Goosebumps!
Watching this live in NZ last week blew my mind! This is real music.
I can only think of the immense heartbreak he went through that made this song. Which in turn breaks my heart.
just got done watching power. heard this song at the end of the episode, quickly brought out the Shazam app... That moment was so intense, felt both their pain.
lol same
Its ironic I can be having the best day ever, in the best mood and when i hear Ben Howard this Sadness comes over me, a good sadness. It makes you remember the love lost
Haunting. And filled with pathos....cathartic song for Ben perhaps others.
Amazing performance of this at Outside Lands- great crowd showed up for Ben.
Heavenly sounds! I was so sad to miss you in Australia. Please come back soon! Big Aussie love
Ben, imo you are the most underrated artist in a lifetime - but you've been the most important in elevating mine...
few things excite me these days. ben howard's music is one. so, thank you.
Whenever I hear this song I think 'I've cried a lot listening to it' but every time I hear it again my previous tears have never been enough
Love it, saw you playing this song live, very different. I will be following you down this path; and now, it looks like I will be following you down every path you take.
This is how you write a song..jesus brilliant
I think Ben's music is so powerful and just to be able to have his music playing is so amazing. Ben is such an inspiration to everyone he shows that you can go from picking up a guitar at home and next thing you know you could be playing on stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend or in the Live Lounge for hundreds of people. Thank You Ben for your music
This tune confirms his creativity and exceptional skills that he showed in his first album. Maybe the best songwriter in the UK right now.
Finally, the backing vocals...
Could you be,
could you be alone?
My hatred,
my hate will bring me closer.
Unreal. Ben is back.
Enorme, incroyable. Très grand moment de musique. La première découverte de ce morceau reste un moment inoubliable.
This song is a great reason why they call musicians ‘artists’. Ben Howard is an artist.
you have NEVER disappointed me Ben.
Saw Ben play this live at Somersault festival. It was absolutely amazing!!
This dude deserves all the fucking oscars...Such a shame he doesnt get the recognition that he deserves. He's a real artist. A MUSICIAN. Thank you so much Ben. You are a legend to my eyes !!!
+rene sf Musicians don't win oscars, only people in the film industry win oscars.
