i was high when i heard this song for the first time yesterday. It utterly destroyed me emotionally. I felt all the sadness, regret, pain, but at the same time I felt inspired by the greatness of his love and passion. OP delivered.
When I wrote you that letter, you'd already made up your mind All my words were writen in vain When I called you up that day, I was only calling up to say hello But goodbye, was the word that you've been thinking ?bout for days I didn't know that you were going to leave me I wish I knew the way to make you come home What can I do if this is right for you I have not been perfect for you Although I think I was back at the start You have no more patience for me So now I guess we'll both just drift apart All those times I wasn't there The times I thought it didn't care I hope you can believe I thought of you ?cause you were everything I needed I've been selfish and so self-absorbed I thought that you'll be waiting when I reached the other side Last night I put my arms around another women's waist The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced And great love can bring greater pain I hope I fall in love again What can I do, if this is right for you I have not been perfect for you I like to think I was back at the start You have no more patience for me So now I guess we'll both just drift apart I want the best for you and now I realize that isn't me I haven't been the man you need, I wish I'd been able to be I'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired And that I've made you feel upset when you just made me feel inspired I have not been perfect for you I wish we could go back and just restart You have no more patience for me So now I guess we'll both just drift apart Drift apart
I've been watching Ben's video's for two days in a row now. I don't know what it is, but it keeps swirling in my head. It's addictive, and I don't mind. It's a healthy addiction. Such a talent. All hail the Canadian minstrel. May his voice carry all over this little planet.
Don't dwell on it buddy. Life is an experience that can be lonely at times maybe even most but there is always someone who wants you around. Don't ever feel unwanted friend.
I feel you, me and my girlfriend had a bit of a rough patch not long ago. The lyrics from this song fit in almost perfectly, hits me right in the feels when ever I hear it.
The lyric "I have not been perfect for you, though I think we were back at the start, you have no more patience for me, so now I guess we'll both just drift apart." Was incredably real at the moment we were in the rough patch. Still hurts to listen to even though we are good now!
Got me mad, that's power you have, and it's not just the passion it's the words man. If its anyway possible, I'd love to sit down and have a word with you.
Great ... absolutely great ... i`ve heard the song while driving for christmas to my parents house ... Now i got to hear more and more and more an guess buy some albums and learn more about Ben Caplan :)
Damn, me and my girlfriend had a bit of a rough patch not long ago. The lyrics from this song fit in almost perfectly, hits me right in the feels when ever I hear it.
Man, I don't know if I hate or love you. You're so fucking awesome, your beard, your music... It's everything so beautifull :O Just marry me, please ! LOL JK Love from Brazil
@@dangregory2217 love ...love is of God.....sadness,isolation,relying on a girl for happiness is a sad exsistance....I don't want to fight....I want to send my love to you.....from Jesus...
when i wrote you that letter you'd already made up your mind all my words were written in vain when i called you up that day, i was only calling up to say hello but you'd buy the word that you'd been thinking about for days you know that you were going to leave me wishing for the way to make you come home what can i do if this is right for you? i have not been perfect for you although i think i was back at the start you have no more patience for me so now i guess we'll both just drift apart

Lmao😂
"Great love can bring greater pain
I hope I fall in love again"
Damn, that hit me deep.
I heard this music for the first time 7 years ago, and it remains as amazing as the first time ever since then
When I wrote you that letter, you'd already made up your mind
All my words were writen in vain
When I called you up that day, I was only calling up to say hello
But goodbye, was the word
that you've been thinking ?bout for days
I didn't know that you were going to leave me
I wish I knew the way to make you come home
What can I do if this is right for you
I have not been perfect for you
Although I think I was back at the start
You have no more patience for me
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
All those times I wasn't there
The times I thought it didn't care
I hope you can believe I thought of you
?cause you were everything I needed
I've been selfish and so self-absorbed
I thought that you'll be waiting when I reached the other side
Last night I put my arms around another women's waist
The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced
And great love can bring greater pain
I hope I fall in love again
What can I do, if this is right for you
I have not been perfect for you
I like to think I was back at the start
You have no more patience for me
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
I want the best for you and now I realize that isn't me
I haven't been the man you need, I wish I'd been able to be
I'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired
And that I've made you feel upset
when you just made me feel inspired
I have not been perfect for you
I wish we could go back and just restart
You have no more patience for me
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
Drift apart

I wasn't looking for a song like this but stumbled upon it. It speaks EXACTLY to what I'm going through. Crazy.
The pain .... 10/10 this is art.
You should have more views. I've listened at least 100000 times
Great musicm, great beard!
this guy has one of the prettiest voices in world
thank you Ben, I just listened to this song for the first time and it hit home for me.
don't be fooled, its actually the beard singing.
A most talented beard
Ben's voice, beard and specs combo is the perfect trifecta of kick ass.
The girl I was seeing just broke it off with me. I kinda saw it coming, but still no one likes feeling unwanted. Been listening to this a lot.
almost the same here.... time for another drink, cheers ^^
Now you can find someone better, probably did you a favor.
Don't dwell on it buddy. Life is an experience that can be lonely at times maybe even most but there is always someone who wants you around. Don't ever feel unwanted friend.
James I feel you pretty hard..
Ive only just found this song after knowing bout cappy for over a year now n its just as me n my bubs mum split feels bro
More people should get to listen to this voice. Brilliant work! Time to share.
if he doesn't get the credit he deserves we won't blame him
I thought I wrote some pretty good songs and had an epic beard... then I find this guy. Christ, he's awesome. I quit!
it's so intense. Everything I love in music reunited in one song.
Lovely to see a live version of this amazing song. Also great channel!
I love your music, greetings from Colombia, south america.
I can't hear this song without crying.
MisterBliix Yeah me too, which is odd. Gets me everytime though. Particularly the line near the end about feeling inspired. So well written.
"Sorry for made you feel upset, when you just made me feel inspire", it's so real that hurts

Thank you for exist.
Two year's later , what a fkn tune
This is a great song! Can't wait to hear it in person :-)
Damn this song hits a spot. Powerful presentation and performance. Thankyou.
Got me mad, that's power you have, and it's not just the passion it's the words man. If its anyway possible, I'd love to sit down and have a word with you.
Im in love I think. omg! one of my favorite song ever
Uma das melhores vozes do mundo, parabéns!
There's a bit of Johnny Cash to his tune. This is really good.
I think Ben Caplan, and The White Buffalo, are our era's Cash!
When in uk again? To this day best voice i have ever heard
Goosebumps.. Can't wait to see him live in Eindhoven.
This guy is musical gold
Love that he's from Canada!!!
De principio a fin me recuerda a ti ♥ El tiempo pasa, pero los recuerdos perduran por siempre
You aren't necessarily supposed to like how it sounds. He is expressing his pain. He is depressed. It's ugly, but still very, very beautiful.
melancholia is growing and creates tears
Holy shit dude , these lyrics are resonating in my bones 😔
Why people deslike this?? I don't understand. This guy is amazing!
i love you...i know this is weird. you're original and i love it
Great ... absolutely great ... i`ve heard the song while driving for christmas to my parents house ... Now i got to hear more and more and more an guess buy some albums and learn more about Ben Caplan :)
the tail of my life
(thank you for music)

I think Ben has written the most affecting love-song of the year. The whole album's superb, but this is the standout for me.
So few views...ordinary people obviously dislike original true artists.
Nope. They simply dont find them
Rogério Cafruni they just don't understand, they just don't feel
This song is so sweet!
Saw him at Evolve. So PERFECT.
I love this
i wish i could say thanks to you man
I was just about to shave but that epic beard has changed my mind...:P
loved it. very haunting voice
keep doing this, you handsome bearded man!!!! so lovely!
this is fkn brill wow what a great tune, im loving this
Great song! You should come play in Brazil
THE BEARD GIVES HIM POWERS!
Wow love your voice it is so deep ... Love it
i'd say that the beard is simply a manifestation of his power and talent.
Amazing
Gabriela, ha pasado tanto tiempo, y aún permaneces aquí.
and now it´s all so obvious.. thanks!
this is sad. great tune

So much soul

Bravo 👌👏

I REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE CHORDS ! DAMN INTERNET WHY DON'T YOU POST EM!

2021?
QUIERO ESAS BARBAS!!
I like it more now
i"ve not been perfect for you.
Así con pasion
FUS RO DAAHH!!
the laddadadadadada part was a mar on this beautiful song. Just my opinion.
Jon Mattingly why do you feel it marred the song?
Hello, i love this song , anyone know the rythmik?
reminds me of Johnny Cash.
Sad exsistance.....live to serve Jesus...
No
@@dangregory2217 love ...love is of God.....sadness,isolation,relying on a girl for happiness is a sad exsistance....I don't want to fight....I want to send my love to you.....from Jesus...
when i wrote you that letter you'd already made up your mind
all my words were written in vain
when i called you up that day, i was only calling up to say hello
but you'd buy the word that you'd been thinking about for days
you know that you were going to leave me
wishing for the way to make you come home
what can i do if this is right for you?
i have not been perfect for you
although i think i was back at the start
you have no more patience for me
so now i guess we'll both just drift apart
I haven't been the man in need I wish I'd be able to be.
I want to marry him just for his voice
at 4:13 "i wish i´d been a ???"
been trying to figure that word out for a week now..
anyone out there who can help out?
"I wish i'd been able to be"
He sounds like he`s going to cry at I think 3:50 ... I dont bkame him :3 He`s beautiful, and that would be a hard note to hit...
