This sounds like it may be in the same tuning / same or similar guitar as 'The Fire'. This is beautiful! Thanks for the upload :) I've learned a lot of his songs but some of his older songs like this are in a such a funky tuning and have such a wonderful sound. I don't even know where to begin - that's why he remains one of my favorite artists because I can't even fathom coming up with this shit on my own. This feels so wholesome. Update: After listening again, I DON'T think it's in the same tuning as The Fire, (A#GCEFC) I think it's more of a CGCFFC or something similar to Another Friday Night with a capo up around the 4th. Just guessing though.
regular Bm position with g and high e string open, sounds so similar for me. so it may be wrong but I thought it’s standard tuning. same era with wouldn’t be a lie song though. who knows…
I have never heard this song before. Evan D, who covers many of Ben's songs just sent me a notification that he had covered this song. It was done so well but I really wanted to hear the original so here I am. I'm sure this song has deep meaning for Ben. He sings it with such passion. I have an idea what he is singing about and it's a sad time in his young life. Thank you Ben for sharing this.❤❤
@@alexriches6275 wow don't know where the aggression is coming from fella all I have done is try to discuss a great newly unearthed ben Howard song with some other fans and am being spoken to like I am trash. It's days like these where it gets really hard to just ignore it .
@@alexriches6275 it looks like u are embarasing urself infront of all the REAL ben howard fans. quite while u have a shred of dignity left fella such a shame to see someone make themself look like a complete and utter mug in front of everyone.
Through these trees and bracken stands Over fields where lovers lay here Waiting for a spark Under the oldock tree where it all came down Under the oldock tree where I swear, I swear, I found her. I remember fire flies in the evening glow Oh, bodies moving so soft and so slow Bridges made of walls and stone These were ours, these were silver stains on our soul I'll come back to the river Though I know it will never taste so sweet I'll go back to the river Searching for a childhood memory (2x) Through these trees and bracken stands Over fields where lovers lay here Waiting for a spark Under the oldock tree where it all came down Under the oldock tree where I swear, I swear I found her I remember fire flies in the evening glow Oh, bodies moving so soft and so slow Bridges made of walls and stone These were ours, these were silver stains on our soul
Not completely undiscovered fella . People knew it existed but it wasn't accessible anywhere. The tracks that have come out today are from a version of games in the dark that Ben probably burned to cd himself and handed out as promo . Different to the 1s that got published, which had different versions of the songs, and no Jessica or Back to the river. As far as I'm aware there were two little mugs who have always had the songs but didn't want to share them because they r mongs and having ownership of a Ben Howard song was one of only things they had going for them. Little mugs. . Judging from the Reddit post, one of the mugs finally sold their copy and the songs have finally seen light of day . Great day for all us REAL fans. Hope you enjoyed the track fella GAHH DUDE 😃 .
@@barrybazjohnson6141 as much as I was curious to hear these songs, I can definitely sympathise with someone's reluctance to share songs to which they had sole ownership.
@@alexriches6275 yeah, ive had this one for years. 😂truly a gem. 😜glad it could be shared with others though. 😘not really affected by it being released to the public 😇
wow. never fort id hear this. thankyou so much fella. . curios to see how you got your hands on the track . its hard to explain how early ben howard makes me feel. long b4 all the hippy drum machine sh*t and celtic crap he made me endure a couple weeks ago. realy makes me miss the ex missus. we used to make love to the old pine ep and a lot of ben's early stuff when he was still a good artist like ed sheeran. when i listen to ben howad the rest of the world becomes quiet to me. lads groupchat pinging off arranging what boozer we're going to tonight. could've cashed out on an acca for £20 on bet365. but none of that matters. the phone is on silent and face down and the notifications just arnt important. today has been a great day because two other accas have come through so far and i'm experiencing old ben howard. REAL ben howard again for possibly the last time. I just weep...uncontrolled tears pouring down my face. hot and burning my cheeks, nose running. fists clenched. pint of carling washing down the bitter taste of upsetting memories. Convulsive shudders from deep inside, Releasing the hidden pains of my past... Now I am refreshed. Only Ben Howard music does this to me . except for all the new hippy crap he does. cheers .
@@alexriches6275 you're a big man hiding behind your computer you little mug . Speak to me like that again and I'll wallop you ya bloody spastic . Ears can't be drunk you idiot and finally I do like some Celtic stuff like the football club and fried mars bars but Celtic hippy music is just terrible.
Is anyone else here because they followed a rabbit? Thank you for this! This has been the best easter egg hunt ever!!!😁
You’re weeks late 😜
NOW WHAT CARROT DO WE CHASE?!

thanks for making this one available on youtube!
That laugh at the end.
he sounds like hes having an asthma attack
That sound 🤍
Ben will never cease to amaze me. This EP is like a good wine, the more time passes, the better it is
When Ben Howard says "f***ing lights went out innit”... that hits me like blasted stone of rattlesnake unturned...
Yeah probably appealed to your chavvy nature, fatty
@@alexriches6275 do you think talking to people like that is acceptable behavior?

Does it look like I give a fuck what a nerd and a fat piece of trash on UA-cam thinks of as acceptable ?😂😂 Don't flatter yourself you parasite

Through these trees and bracken stands
Over fields where lovers lay here
Waiting for a spark
Under the oldock tree where it all came down
Under the oldock tree where I swear, I swear, I found her.
I remember fire flies in the evening glow
Oh, bodies moving so soft and so slow
Bridges made of walls and stone
These were ours, these were silver stains on our soul
I'll come back to the river
Though I know it will never taste so sweet
I'll go back to the river
Searching for a childhood memory (2x)
Through these trees and bracken stands
Over fields where lovers lay here
Waiting for a spark
Under the oldock tree where it all came down
Under the oldock tree where I swear, I swear I found her
I remember fire flies in the evening glow
Oh, bodies moving so soft and so slow
Bridges made of walls and stone
These were ours, these were silver stains on our soul
@Sven Thank you for the lyrics but I'm pretty certain the verse is "bridges made of moss and stone"
Also, "under the old oak tree".
Thanks for the lyrics
I can't die without watching him perform. I can't. I'll never forgive me if I do.
Was this completely undiscovered until now? Didn't even know there was a bonus version of Games in the dark

New hippy crap ? In other words the music that your damp, drunken ears are unable to appreciate ? Put the drink down mate 😂
