LYRICS
I am alone in a box of stone
When all is said and done
As the wind blows to the east from the west
Unto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest
I am lonely, alone in a box of stone
The claim they loved me but they all lieing
I am lonely, alone in a box of my own
And this is the place, I now belong
It's my home, home, home, home home home home home x2
It wasn't easy getting used to this
I use to scream
It's not true, that its only when the door is locked
That nobody enters
Cuz mine has been open till your demise
But none has come, well who am I,
What have i done wrong?
I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own
They claim to be near me but they were all lieing
I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own
This is the place I know I now belong
It's my home, home, home, home home home home home x2
Friends, I have met
Lovers have slept and wept
Promises to stay had never kept
This bare truth of which most won't share
I hope you share, I hope you share
Cuz I have been lonely
Alone in a box of stone
They claim to love me and be near me
But they are all lieing
I have been lonely, alone in a box of my own
And this is the place I now know I belong
Its my home, home, home, home home home home home x2

My nephew who is a poet introduced this man to me , am literally in tears he is phenomenal am beyond words
I agree. I just discovered him and I'm in tears!
Your nephew have a good apreciation for music.
it would a be good song even if your nephew was a cook
You should spread his musical talents
This is the first time I cry over the sound of admiration.
Arturo Rincon Mon Dieu!
Harmonic Grunt you're a very nice person. :)
Arturo Rincon Thank you so much.

what you mean by that? he will not feel lonely?, he is expressing himself, if he would be more positive will solve his life?. This new way of thinking positive and thinking the brain has the power to chance every aspect of your life is an ilussion, you feel like the world is in your hands while the only way to be having control of yourself and your life is knowing the truth of yourself, knowing yourself, not feeling like a super hero or faking to be someone you are not.
❤
A very emotional song, he lets you into his soul and you can almost feel what he's been through. Amazing talent!
I remember the first time I listened to this song, Benjamin was a guest on a famous Italian talk show. My brother and I cried throughout the show and we listened to this song together a lot of times. it is very touching, it reminds me of a very sad period in my life and it also reminds me of my brother, who helped me overcome everything. now he lives far away and can no longer sing this song with me.
I am alone in a box of stone
When all is said and done
As the wind blows to the east from the west
Unto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest
I am lonely, alone in a box of stone
They claim they loved me but they all lieing
I am lonely alone in a box of my own
And this is the place, I now belong
Its my home, home, home, home home home home home x2
It wasnt easy getting used to this
I use to scream
Its not true, that its only when the door is locked
That nobody enters
Cuz mine has been open till your demise
But none had come, well who am I,
What have i done wrong?
Ive been lonely, alone in a box of my stone
They claim to be near me but they were all lying, its not true
Ive been lonely, alone in a box of my stone
This is the place I know I now belong
Its my home, home, home, home home home home home x2
Friends, I have met
Lovers have slept and wept
Promises to stay had never been kept
This bare truth of which most wont share
I hope you share, I hope you share
Cuz I have been lonely
Alone in a box of my own
They claim to love me and be near me
But they are all lieing
I have been lonely, alone in a box of my stone
And this is the place I now know I belong
Its my home, home, home, home home home home home x2
Benjamin Clementine é show . Belíssima letra e uma interpretação maravilhosa...Bravo!
+joaopaulojpful Pena que no Brasil estejamos tão carentes de talentos deste quilate... Mas me conformo com Benjamin, que é um gênio, pois sua música transborda sentimentos indescritíveis... Viva a emoção!
+Moonchild Merci pour les mots.
You do realize that there are lyrics in the description?
lieing
I believe he could bring me to tears reading the phone book.
Yaaaaaassss...
It does bring me to tears
opening the phone book
realizing that
there is no phone for me to call
I am lonely
alone on a box of my own
If George miller can put me to sleep singing about anal beads, I believe he can do that.
*Listen to 'Peacock Affect - I Wrote This In The Dark'*
It's my phone, phone, phone, phone, phone, phone...
WHO is here after Abraham’s cover at the voice France ???
Me
was here before lol Guess im just still here lol
Song hit my heart ❤️ 💙 💜
Here
Got me 😂
I lost a dear friend recently
This music helps me a lot because it was his music at his funeral
Thank you Benjamin ❤️
As a kid who grew up homeless and hasn't seen they're family in years this beautiful man has gotten me through everything. Just to make this song hit home even more a shelter I used to live in was called Cornerstone and this was exactly how I felt in those years
Wow! You were meant to hear him. You aren’t alone. He resonates. We resonate. That is validation. That’s value. I wish you all the best. ❤️
🙏🏽❤️
It takes a lot of inner culture to sing your pain out instead of drinking. It takes enormously huge talent to do it in such a terrific way.
Can't stop listening again and again.
This song breaks my heart. I have been here so many times before and it feels like a personal testimony to my life sung in a single song. I am glad I discovered this man. Thank you Benjamin.
U r not alone!
I wish good luck for both of you guys 😊
Big hug to you Frank. 💪🏻😊
what a GREAT VOICE!!! Everybody needs to know this man!
Compte-tenu, des événements actuels,c:est vraiment, un hymne très-très talentueux, à l/indifférence,à la xénophobie, à tous les fachos de tout poil, religieux ou non, je suis très ému, par ce morceau, et très longue vie, à son interprète, merçi, BENJAMIN,.
C'est vraiment un Cadeau de la Vie et nous en avons vraiment besoin en ce moment si terrible......
Only a soul with centuries of suffering can have such a power of sharing deep intense pain with others.
i cry every time i hear him sing this. i don’t even know why
Someone hand this man an award
IKR?
so right
They did - Mercury Prize 2015 baby!
I recomend to give to him 2 awards: 1 because he's a genius and the other in case he loses the first one.
This man is genius they only give awards to famous stupid people and probably they buy them but this guy will be legend after his death like most of the Artist
I am besotted - he is astounding - he really touches my soul with his music. This is the first time in a long time that I have purchased music. Heard him for the first time last night on the Tonights Show - he stopped my boyfriend and I in our tracks - we both wept. So far I have not been able to listen to any of his songs without crying - there is something about his tone.
That happens when music reach the soul
Who came here after blind audition at the Voice France?❤️❤️❤️
Me 🇫🇷 😂
I feel so much pain and, paradoxically, at the same time the hopeful desire to shout for this humanity halfway between sleep, hope and disaster.
C'est magnifique
Vraiment superbe,merci Philonico! :-)
Myra Margaritis Bonne soirée mon amie
Philonico Merci, bonne soirée à toi aussi,bises :-)
Je ne connaissais pas ce titre...j'aime beaucoup cet artiste 👍
Fidjie Fidjie Une incroyable découverte pour moi. Chanson splendide
I feel really big respect for the connection between playing piano and singing with so many emotions..I'm truly grateful for this man, he's amazing.
Touched my heart. No one is ever alone God and Jesus Christ is there always.
To anyone reading this. I pray your wounds heal and you find peace 🌹.
This song is a masterpiece, nothing else to say.
I am a child...but I m really glad to hear that...sound,melody...I would give everything to see you Mr Clementine.I also work on music and this is something different.I hope you will read my message.I hope... Thanks
Tu mexe com a área da música também?
Your hope is our hope!
your rawness is so fleshy
your lonelyness is our aloneness
your melody is magically so promising to us
I hope you shall be all that the cosmics ordaine you to be
so mote it be
This man is an enigma, so captivating. The emotion is from deep inside the soul, he just sucks you in almost like making one submerged with and in his innermost being. I totally went into his pain and hurt. I pray he finds healing and an inner peace with himself and those that matter to him. Love you Benjamin Clementine!
Si... Claro q lo entiendo!.. solo mirarle y escucharle me electriza el vello y araña mis entrañas.. Tmbn tuve" un hogar,.. fué mi hogar...hogar?... Ya no está, per siempre quedarán secuelas... Genial, tremendo
Immediate tears, always with Benjamin
souviens toi tj ou tu viens ne perd pas le nord nourris toi de tes experiences et continue de nous faire rever, un bonheur !!!
This is just brilliant. Pure emotional pearls in lyrics and sound. Why do other people just have to comment negatively, dishing out their life bitterness or vanity, just for the sake of their own overated self-esteem. Who cares about what you think? Who cares about rankings and prizes.This is a fresh and wonderful cornerstone.
From England.... I observed America's newest music star being born tonight! I'm thankful that Jimmy Fallon introduced him to us tonight!!!
Benjamin is British (who moved to France), Burberry has been featuring him since years now in their fashion shows where he performed live he also was featured in their latest campaign commercial for their new Perfume, in the making of he said: "Radio doesn't play me, Burberry is my radio and way to introduce my music to a larger audience.
He's English...
why isn't he famous in the U.S yet ? like he is wonderful
He is British and Radio doen't play him, but he became quite known because Burberry featured him more than once in their Fashion shows where he was performing Live as well. he is a musical genius, but for some people i presume too "out there" with his style of singing and his words.
This song deserves to be heard over and over again. Real artist!
Davide Albertini I've played it like 10 times back to back today and gets better everytime

I feel incredibly grateful and privileged that I live at the same time as this wonderfully talented man.
his music just opens a whole new world to me. damn.
Mel Beltrán expressed my feelings..
Nothing I can say will do this song justice. It speaks for itself. All I have is gratitude.
Don''t leave Benjamin. Been loving you for months now; I can find hope and sweet fine times....your chords and shouts giving us all a reason to dig in the mud and find love.
Thank god for Tiny Desk Concerts, it might have taken me so much longer to discover this genius. This guy is special, very, very special! I can't remember being so blown away by an artist like he has. Not for a long time. The skill of walking that fine line between ultimate power and uneasy vulnerability in his performance. Truly great.
Il vit la musique, les mots et ils nous les offrent comme cadeau. Émotions
All I say is thank you, Benjamin Clementine for these powerful words !
This amazing man and his amazing voice…… the vibrations he sets off……
Soon after "stumbling" in this sound, I tried to order all his CDs; there was only one available that arrived to me today, about three months after...
"At least for now" gathers almost all the tracks that can be heard here on youtube. But - besides a couple or so - none of them can be heard here. Because, as I had anticipated, Benjamin seems unable to give twice to a theme precisely the same colors. Because Benjamin has the rare gift of an exceptional voice endowed with a soul - like Nina Simone, from whom he seems to be a reincarnation. Yes, he plays letting us know that he could also do the way Antony Hegarty does. But he is like Nina in his moods. At 26, he is already a classic for me. I sincerely hope he continues to be able to live up to such a status.
His voice gives me hope because I am a strong woman
this is what music from the soul sounds like! take note artists, musicians, and everyone!
ill be honest, I'm a fan now because of the Gorillaz, but this is fucking astoundingly great, holy shit.
mashedpotatoe123 you need to give Damon Albarn more Credit than 6/10. Gorillaz work with many artists from Benjamin Clemintine to Benjamin Andre and explore several genres while blending them at the same time. Whether you acknowledge him or not Damon knows what music is
Mahpoatoe I hate you for saying a 6/10 for my band
He sang this from his soul, you could feel the raw emotions
beautiful, I'm having chills from his performance on the tonight show
me too
Search for his Burberry fashion show live performances, they were breathtakingly good. He is a musical genius!

Lonely, loneliness, alone
Longing, yearning
Waiting, still...
Grateful 🙏
Benjamin clementine you're amazing,,I can feel your music in my soul,you have helped me thru some hard times. Thank you very much

Winner of the Mercury Prize which he dedicated to the people of Paris.Beautiful man.
we are 'alone in a box of my own' and if we love this and the box then we find the real love and grace to share.thank's
there is a place to be realy at home.
this is not the end it is the beginning the return to yourself. (another good song,lol)
This man should have been bigger then who is he is really one of my favorite artists
I have been listening to this song for the last 2 years... can not stop . Bravo!
I have been so obsessed with his since I discovered him. He is a great artist and I can’t wait to hear more from him. He is a pure genius , his music is food to my soul
I've just discovered him today. His voice is beautiful.
Wonderful..
Never had someone articulate this feeling so well. I feel this in my bones. It's so painfully beautiful. 😥
Sublime. Déchirant. Magnifique. Admiration et Merci Monsieur Benjamin Clementine
He is AMAZING. He should be recognized more.❤👍
You’re amazing I hope you become recognized as one of the greatest from our generation
this is beautiful..thank you benjamin clementine....you have my heart...
Fabulous!!! Man, u brought me hope in our music during this century again!
For real!
You should stop bitching about music other people like and maybe turn of the radio and find some music for ya self.
+Wendy Wild ye should get a life and stop trying to sound smarter... I'm sure ye can work harder to sound less jerk than ye look like now.
i know im a jerk but im not a judgmental little bitch like you.
I listened to this a few yrs ago when i was in a dark place ...it helped me to embrace my feelings...few yrs later I'm here again and I'm now able to see I'm in a much better place ...I'm way passed the eye of the storm ...its true when they say don't give up ...because there is always way better ahead ...just got to keep on going xxx thankyouxxx9xxx
this man is good, speechless. such deep songs and a beautiful voice.
Benjamin Clementine I Love You. Stay Strong, Peace and Love
I am the only one amazzed by his talent at piano ?
What a performance on Jimmy Fallon tonight! You have a new American fan, Mr. Clementine.
This is magic, brillant. I can't tell how much I love to listen to this
You do not sing the song. You live it and make us lived too.
Lovers have slept and wept...
Promises to stay had never kept...
This bare truth of which most won't share...
You are a real artist. Your songs, your sensibility makes my body dance like i never did before. I hope you never change. Thank you.
C'est un artiste vraiment exceptionel , il n'y pas de tchichi c'est de la vrai musique qui vient du coeur ☺
No chichi, direct from heart to heart
Vraiment !!
Ouiii 😀
I can't stop listening to this guy.
Speechless.
i remember when my teacher was really close to me and made me watch and hear this music in 2017. now, in 2022, i'm hearing again
lately, im feeling lonely and so addicted to feeling that way, somedays i think i cant escape
Sounds like a mix of philip glass and nina simone. Very lovely.
+Velcera Sim! Nina Simone!
+Elcio Santana Quando ele começou a cantar eu pensei nela! Maravilhoso!
+L. Snow Realmente... Esse cara é fantástico! Virei fã.
+Antonio Napoleone THIS IS THE SMARTEST COMMENT EVER
Oh wow, that's an extremely accurate comparison
I love your music... You are an amazing artist and a beautiful boy...
Congrats on the Mercury Benjamin! and encouraging acceptance speech “If anyone is watching, any child or youngster or student. The world is your oyster. Go out there and get what you want to get.”
+Tracy Gaughan (Trace Culture) Of course that's not true - the idea that every individual can battle against whatever mighty societal forces are ranged against them and achieve everything they want is obviously absurd. I'm glad he made it though.
I can’t believe what I am hearing! This song,
this voice sharing such intimate heartbroken feelings! I
"It wasnt easy getting used to this
I use to scream
Its not true, that its only when the door is locked
That nobody enters
Cuz mine has been open till your demise
But none had come, well who am I
What have I done wrong?"
...this guy and his voice gives me goose bumps.
I saw him on jools, I still have it recorded and go back and watch it all the time!! It made me sit up and watch when I saw it. Gary Clark jnr was also on that night and he was very good. Good work jools.
That was a great episode. Although that Katy B person was rather underwhelming. But the rest of the groups were golden.
I discovered this brilliant artist when I watched The Morning Show. Couldn't get over how good the song was. I had to know who was singing the song. It took me a while to discover him, but I found him!!! I can't get over how good he is.
A beleza está na profundidade da...simplicidade... lindo...
I saw your concert, Benjamin, at Theatro Circo (Braga - Portugal), last November and I only want to say one thing to you: thank you! Thank you so much for your music, for your words.
Beautiful, powerful... just amazing
This man is a jewel. What a beautiful words and sounds to describe such a sad place: loneliness
this is the best way to brake your heart. so lovely.
i cried a lot today because i wonder how i never met this beautiful soul until today. for this i weep and im glad of the man he has been become, He lyrics are my home.
When I heard Hallelujah Money I had a feeling this guy got some superior talent but this is way way way more superior than I expected, I'm blown away!!!!!
Benjamin,
Do not worry that it has taken you this long to come into recognition. Good things are worth waiting for. Take for instance, food we cannot eat before it is fully cooked. So this the right time for you. Thank God you're still alive
This is absolutely fantastic. Said from a Heavy/Thrash/Death Metal fan. This is just great. Congrats, Ben.
Enver Jurdana same
Pure emotion and talent.
Is it possible to "dislike" that ? OMG, so nice, so true and so beautiful. Thx for this song
I have not stopped crying since I found you an hour ago through a RUclips commercial, you sent me running through iTunes and bought every song you have ever written ! For touching my soul to the core, I thank you 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 😭❤️👏✌️
Nina Simone would be happy , proud and in tears...... just like me.... BRAVO BENJAMIN.!!!
Bless all that have taken the time to listen to Ben.
This one is definitely my favorite & Ben Clementine you're such a great artist
No modern musician has brought me to tears until I saw his performance on Jimmy Fallon. It wasn't sadness, it was just the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard. What an amazing feeling.
Hallelujah Money brought me here
