I so love when I find an artist as brilliant as Benjamin Clementine after he's been on the scene for a couple of years so that I can be reminded of how vast the world is and how very little of it I discover. Finding this artist is a real high point.
Oh yes, I know Aurora's. Such a beautiful and ethereal artist! I think my favourite tune by her is Running with the Wolves, followed by Runaway. I've been surprised she hasn't become more of a global phenomenon, but in a way I'm glad she hasn't. With success seems to come the pressure for more success which often seems to erode the quality of an artist's work. Anyway, Lukas, thank you for the recommendation!
I haven’t heard anything like this before. The arrangement of the music is so peculiar. The more times I listen to it the more brilliant it seems. I have no idea how I got here but I am really glad to have found this guy.
I swear, you've seen me You've seen me here before And so don't tell it, don't tell it otherwise This voice, this particular voice Yes you've heard it before, before And so don't you dare tell it, don't you dare tell it otherwise No wonder, why the road seems so long 'Cause I had done it all before And I won You felt this feeling, tell me don't be ashamed You felt it before, before And so don't tell me Don't tell me otherwise I almost forgot, foolish me I almost forgot Where I am from we see the rain before the rain even starts to rain No wonder why you've been buggering me This walk is a previous journey And I won Before I was born there was a storm Before that storm there was fire Burning everywhere And everything became nothing again And then out of nothing Out of absolutely nothing I Benjamin, I was born So that when I become someone one day I will always remember that I came from nothing No wonder, why you've been buggering me This walk, it's a previous journey And no wonder why the road seem so long 'Cause I had done it all before And I won Am sending my condolence Am sending my condolence to fear Am sending my condolence Am sending my condolence to insecurities You should know by now You should know by now That I just don't care For what you might say Might bring someone downhill Am sending my condolence To fear Am sending my condolence To insecurities
Condolence's to every innocent person who has lost their life in the name of religion, power, greed, justice and retribution; from Paris to Syria to Mali and back again.
Benjamin Clementine : le talent à l'état pur ! Sa voix, ses compos, ses textes, sa façon de jouer avec le piano, sa façon d'hypnotiser le public lors de ses concerts... Tout est là pour notre plus profond bonheur. Merci Monsieur pour tous ces moments magiques !
I just woke up in a North African country, it’s 10 am and dancing to this like a crazy woman. Re listening to your songs have never been this amazing. But now i understand them better.
The eyes of this "man" are not in this world .. The view is somewhere far away, probably in another dimension .. All that we can observe "here" is the truly amazing timbre of the voice and the sincerity of the song itself, it really was forged in the soul of this guy , Honestly I had a tear while I listened to it, it's a sign of real music, that's all..
The more you grind the pure you become , it reminds us that we all came from nothing and ultimately go back to nothing (nature), leaving everything behind what we have fought while life for.
Probably my favorite song of the album. This man is simply epic! His voice is pure, simple, powerful, incredible, I just can't get over it. Amazing album Mr Clementine!!
Sometimes you cannot explain greatness so easily, is easier to just inmers yourself on it . Benjamin is so amazing at so many levels that the first time I listened to him I really didnt know what to think. Now I believe he will be one of the greatest.
i love that the new song trapped and free autoplayed to this song - help people catch up . please play US on tour? DC? Richmond? Philly? DC will show up - that's my bet
First met this song when it first came out before 6 years while I was 11 years old and the "condolence" part had stuck in my head. After 6 years I came again to truly discover this paradise.
Benjamin, you are a fresh voice that offers sincerity, child-like wonder, and authenticity to our world we all, so desperately, need now. Your latest album, which I appreciate, is breaking some musical expression boundaries and represents clear proof that your musical imagination goes well beyond what the majority of us is willing to commit to daily: our emotional and intellectual cooperation, quite naturally, requires some level of residual comfort, not easily obtained nowadays. At least for me and at least for now, your "At Least For Now" album is my daily mind meal to keep me sane while working from home. Thank you, Benjamin. I/we need you exactly as you are. Keep creating, keep healing. Much love, Son...
This is a rollercoaster. The song builds and builds and builds, never quite getting to the pay off. It is like Benjamin is taking a running jump at getting to the crescendo, it peaks in the music but every time not quite getting there. And then Benjamin at 3:16 tries again and reaches the peak at 3:43, and from that point we're absolutely flying downhill. That fade out just leaves you wanting more, so I press repeat.
This is the best thing ive heard all year..his voice and articulation, delivery and general artistry is spectacular. Thank you for your talents. I am better for hearing you
what's this, how I found this, why I'm suddenly so frightenedly happy, what is this. thank you, Benjamin Clementine, for existing. there's a lot of lot things to discover. please anyone is there anyone similar this genius pianist, i even love his music even got his album while listening to this song.
Can't stop listening to this such beautiful song. Such a hatsh reality. It speaks to my soul. To imagine you were on a Paris metro singing is a disbelief. Now, the world praises your talent.
Finalmente un cantautore vero. La sua voce arriva all'anima. Dal primo istante che ho sentito Benjamin ho pianto, non conoscevo affatto la sua storia. Viva la via che ci offre ancora qualcosa di estremamente vero. Grazie di esistere. Pippo da Napoli
You must be from another planet, man! Never have I ever come across with such a beautiful melancholy or such sincere and strong music! No one should die before witnessing you. Words are not enough...
Well, i went there. I trusted you, just came back and thought i will curse you up a lil bad. But, its clementine's comment section. I won't be ruining it, so cheers bud Happy New Year. :)
Last year I listened to Benjamin's voice for the first time through his song with Gorillaz. Just few days ago, I was bored with the music I was listening to and decided to listen to something "new" on Spotify. Suddenly his name came to my mind so I clicked this album. It's a blessing. Really worth my time. One of the best albums I've ever known. I bet he's great for live show. Fave tracks: Condolence, London, Adios, Nemesis, Gone, Winston Churchill's Boy, I Won't Complain.
i havent heard a song or better yet a singer/ artist that would make me feel the way i feel right now the way this song is, i cant even put into words what it is. it's like this determination but yet like this anger that if i let it, it can easily make me cry. wow!! how did i just find you till now?
Thank you Benjamin Clementine. I decided to write this a few times to get my message across. Your lyrics in this song were very helpful to me! Have guts!
This is not music it's even more. It's being alive and singing every step you put on Earth. Every thinking cell moving in your mouth. Thankyou for being real.
What an insightful song I didn't expect this kind of song in this era. It makes me believe you have walked here before and somehow you didn't deliver this song so u had to come back and walk this long road as u say. Beautiful song man...

This man don't sing with his mouth, he sings with his soul.
Aussi oui. Tête, cœur et corps. C'est un tout ,c'est pour ça aussi que c'est si sublime 😌pour moi en tout cas
I so love when I find an artist as brilliant as Benjamin Clementine after he's been on the scene for a couple of years so that I can be reminded of how vast the world is and how very little of it I discover. Finding this artist is a real high point.
could not have said it better. I wholeheartedly agree!
Oh yes, I know Aurora's. Such a beautiful and ethereal artist! I think my favourite tune by her is Running with the Wolves, followed by Runaway.

Acompanhou me nas horas nos dias na cela,onde tantas manhas vi nascer o sol
It's absolutely right, this man awoke our souls.
I find him only 3 days ago.. And I can't stop listening to him.
How did I miss this Amazing man Master piece of music for 9+ years 🙆🏾♀️
Benjamin please don't ever stop doing this.
he's SO BEAUTIFUL, and i mean it in everyway possible.
+ i love the way he writes his songs
he doesnt even need conturing
his skin is like porcelain, so clean !!!!!!
yes! and them cheekbones :D
3:16 No wonder someone has been buggering him.
But on a more serious note - true dat.
Thank you Leon Bridges, and Michael Kiwanuka for bringing me here.
How is it possible I had never heard of Benjamin Clementine before... Before... Before?
Where have I been for the past 8 years..... Just discovering this man now, in 2023.
2024 for me
ME too..👆
I'm so happy to have discovered this magnificent artist on the Voice. Better late than never.
I haven’t heard anything like this before. The arrangement of the music is so peculiar. The more times I listen to it the more brilliant it seems. I have no idea how I got here but I am really glad to have found this guy.
Yes.
V. Antony & The Jonsons-esqu as is the track "Winston Churchill's Boy"...opening track to "At Least for now."
I just discovered Benjamin Clementine and I`m mind blown. Every song very unique with a strong message. A very rare find on youtube. A total gem!
I swear, you've seen me
You've seen me here before
And so don't tell it, don't tell it otherwise
This voice, this particular voice
Yes you've heard it before, before
And so don't you dare tell it, don't you dare tell it otherwise
No wonder, why the road seems so long
'Cause I had done it all before
And I won
You felt this feeling, tell me don't be ashamed
You felt it before, before
And so don't tell me
Don't tell me otherwise
I almost forgot, foolish me I almost forgot
Where I am from we see the rain before the rain even starts to rain
No wonder why you've been buggering me
This walk is a previous journey
And I won
Before I was born there was a storm
Before that storm there was fire
Burning everywhere
And everything became nothing again
And then out of nothing
Out of absolutely nothing I Benjamin, I was born
So that when I become someone one day
I will always remember that I came from nothing
No wonder, why you've been buggering me
This walk, it's a previous journey
And no wonder why the road seem so long
'Cause I had done it all before
And I won
Am sending my condolence
Am sending my condolence to fear
Am sending my condolence
Am sending my condolence to insecurities
You should know by now
You should know by now
That I just don't care
For what you might say
Might bring someone downhill
Am sending my condolence
To fear
Am sending my condolence
To insecurities
To insicurities.
To your fears.
Obrigado!!!
Asante
His voice gives me chills. A living legend. Cheers from Portugal.
Condolence's to every innocent person who has lost their life in the name of religion, power, greed, justice and retribution; from Paris to Syria to Mali and back again.

Benjamin Clementine : le talent à l'état pur ! Sa voix, ses compos, ses textes, sa façon de jouer avec le piano, sa façon d'hypnotiser le public lors de ses concerts... Tout est là pour notre plus profond bonheur. Merci Monsieur pour tous ces moments magiques !
so strangely compelling. every time I revisit this video I am enraptured at the very start, all over again, and then held
So my life is going to involve finding amazing artists that my mind body and soul need.
Beautiful and haunting. Yes, we have seen you here before.
I just woke up in a North African country, it’s 10 am and dancing to this like a crazy woman.
Re listening to your songs have never been this amazing.
But now i understand them better.
I'm here to send my condolence to fear, and insecurities. Hi, Benjamin! you're amazing, ok?

I feel like Benjamin Clementine. I am so happy he is happy now. Gintare Maksimovaite
The eyes of this "man" are not in this world .. The view is somewhere far away, probably in another dimension .. All that we can observe "here" is the truly amazing timbre of the voice and the sincerity of the song itself, it really was forged in the soul of this guy , Honestly I had a tear while I listened to it, it's a sign of real music, that's all..
This is the first Benjamin Clementine song I ever heard.
The more you grind the pure you become , it reminds us that we all came from nothing and ultimately go back to nothing (nature), leaving everything behind what we have fought while life for.
I can't remember the last time I had goosebumps discovering new music. This comes from my soul.
when you think that a few years ago he was singing on the Paris Subway it's amazing
I found this man once 4 years ago and I've been desperatly looking for him since. Blessings.
Probably my favorite song of the album. This man is simply epic! His voice is pure, simple, powerful, incredible, I just can't get over it.
Amazing album Mr Clementine!!
Many are called but only a few are chosen, from the few came Benjamin Clementine
This man is an enigma. I couldn't take my eyes this performance. God knows how much I have watched it.
This is a Beautiful Man, I saw him on Dune and was mesmerized. He is a singer composer too!!!? Whoa
This song ends right when it starts to get even better. I am pining for more.
Sometimes you cannot explain greatness so easily, is easier to just inmers yourself on it . Benjamin is so amazing at so many levels that the first time I listened to him I really didnt know what to think. Now I believe he will be one of the greatest.
Crazy, crazy beautiful with such clarity of voice and thought.
Music can't be this good.....youtube need an auto-repay button....a song like this on auto-replay you kick-back and close your eyes.
Man... YOU.ARE.A.GENIUS!
Keep up the amazing job!
Cheers from Brazil 🙋
Paprikiert Cheers from Colombia too!

Soy Colombiana , de un pueblo cerca al pacifico, disculpen no hablo ni entiendo el ingles , pero amo este hombre su voz, su musica, sus videos.
ten years ago listening to him, i am so happy that youtube revived this classic
Thank you Benjamin Clementine for this wonderful song.
Just found you today through "I won't complain", and I gotta say I love what I've heard so far, both the lyrics and the notes are lovely
i love that the new song trapped and free autoplayed to this song - help people catch up . please play US on tour? DC? Richmond? Philly? DC will show up - that's my bet
we only have to sleep for four... and I hope we will hear this song in Budapest!!
this is a masterpiece.. can't say how many times I've listened it even just today..
I had the priviledge to see him live in Gazi, Athens, Greece, a couple of years ago... amazing....
First met this song when it first came out before 6 years while I was 11 years old and the "condolence" part had stuck in my head. After 6 years I came again to truly discover this paradise.
The extended version is even better. Powerful
EXTENDED?!! where, when, how? Please tell! :)
Yes, please do tell.
Benjamin, you are a fresh voice that offers sincerity, child-like wonder, and authenticity to our world we all, so desperately, need now. Your latest album, which I appreciate, is breaking some musical expression boundaries and represents clear proof that your musical imagination goes well beyond what the majority of us is willing to commit to daily: our emotional and intellectual cooperation, quite naturally, requires some level of residual comfort, not easily obtained nowadays. At least for me and at least for now, your "At Least For Now" album is my daily mind meal to keep me sane while working from home. Thank you, Benjamin. I/we need you exactly as you are. Keep creating, keep healing. Much love, Son...
I was jumping on RUclips and found this treasure, what a beautiful man, his voice is so touching.
We're blessed as a universe to have this unique voice
Nothing like him.. And this song.. And these words.
This is a rollercoaster. The song builds and builds and builds, never quite getting to the pay off. It is like Benjamin is taking a running jump at getting to the crescendo, it peaks in the music but every time not quite getting there. And then Benjamin at 3:16 tries again and reaches the peak at 3:43, and from that point we're absolutely flying downhill. That fade out just leaves you wanting more, so I press repeat.
Thank you to dear Benjamin Clementine for this wonderful song 😊 This is the song to those who wish us bad luck.
Inspirational man. Sending hope out to the whole world. Speaking truth. Please keep singing. Australia.
This is the best thing ive heard all year..his voice and articulation, delivery and general artistry is spectacular. Thank you for your talents. I am better for hearing you
This guy is just amazing ! The feeling that he transmits through the music Is so overwhelming. Cheers from Portugal !
i just would like to say that i am in awe of such a human being, makes me think he's something more!

there's a lot of lot things to discover. please anyone is there anyone similar this genius pianist, i even love his music even got his album while listening to this song.
Hottest up and coming artist around... now I see why! What a voice! Thanks for uploading.

this dude has more talent in one finger nail than I've accumulated in my entire life
Can't stop listening to this such beautiful song. Such a hatsh reality. It speaks to my soul. To imagine you were on a Paris metro singing is a disbelief. Now, the world praises your talent.

Well, i went there. I trusted you, just came back and thought i will curse you up a lil bad. But, its clementine's comment section. I won't be ruining it, so cheers bud Happy New Year. :)
Anna Turlej exactly my thoughts
Marathoning all of Benjamin Clementine right now and NO REGRETS. SO BEAUTIFUL. SUCH A GREAT VOICE. UGH I'M BLOWN AWAY. I'm gonna buy all your songs.
Such a powerful lyrics and visual. So brilliant. I’m actually sad that I have just discovered him...
I've discovered him in 2023
a piece of humanity....
I just don't understand those 270 dislikes to a powerful song, interpretation & everything
He's a visionary genius. The real deal.
No. Nah-huh. Impossible. Not possible. There's no way it exists such a beautiful person. NO. WAY.
Congrats on Mercury Prize - well deserved
Ontem, 23 l/09/23, Porto, Pavilhão Rosa Mota, concerto memorável, foi muito bom. Obrigado Benjamin
a Revolutionary. I adore this man. Absoulte brilliance. Such quality music in this day and age. Magnificent.

Thank you Benjamin. Your music and your voice touch me so deeply. I feel the life and cry and smile.
there is a beauty in the pain you show. honest and raw ive never felt i was halted to listen to a sound before this. dont let anyone change your soul.
This artist is pure talent the music is from another world
Last year I listened to Benjamin's voice for the first time through his song with Gorillaz. Just few days ago, I was bored with the music I was listening to and decided to listen to something "new" on Spotify. Suddenly his name came to my mind so I clicked this album. It's a blessing.

He's such a gifted and talented composer and singer!!
There is something so moving, wise, and beautiful about Benjamin. I'm in love with him, and his music is a rare gift in today's noise.

Thank you Benjamin Clementine. I decided to write this a few times to get my message across. Your lyrics in this song were very helpful to me! Have guts!
Flows inside you, like a river of emotions.
