Suprised there not too many mentions for "end of the affair" on jools holland. Unbeleivable live performance
My favorite reactor and my favorite musician, match made in heaven. Hope you'll go on this journey, Ben Howard is absolutely amazing!
"A joke in the way we rust, and breath again" is genius. Our blood has iron and salt, the act of breathing ages and kills us. We are rusting with all the breaths we take.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a second here. I came here because Ben Howard is one of my favorite musicians, particularly writers in music. I couldn't wait to see how impressed the reviewer was of him
However I left being JUST as impressed by the reviewer as I was of Ben. Full of knowledge and extremely articulate and charismatic. Great explanations of everything. The first time I can ever recall being impressed by a reviewer and feeling like I was in safe hands with their opinions. Great job, Mr. Boyd!
Also, some more great songs by Ben: Depth over Distance, Black Flies, Keep Your Head Up and Conrad. Conrad especially for this reviewer since I'd imagine he's either already knowledgeable about the original tale of Conrad or will become so before reviewing the song
Ben is beautifully deep.
He's had a rough few years with his health but he's looking good now. X
Black flies is great, too!
All time favourite.
There’s another live version of this and he’s much more aggressive and animated in his performance. I think he might be one of the best artists ever
He is. There is no other Ben
omg which one?
I’m not sure how to link it but type in “Ben Howard - oats in the water” the channel is called greenawaypro
@@Omlet1711 thankyou sm!!
I know exactly which one you’re talking about. So good!
Ben Howard is such an unique vibe…one of my absolute favorite artists…his music commands you to listen…every time I hear a song of his playing somewhere it stops me in my tracks…to me his music is beautifully painful even though it’s not coming from a dark place…if that makes any sense? 😂
Totally. The first time I heard him, he was opening for Mumford and sons back in like '13/'14. We walked in halfway through his performance and it stopped me in my tracks. I couldn't move, all I could do was listen to him perform Black Flies. Totally mesmerized. Been a huge fan ever since 🖤
A lesser known song of his that is one of my favorites is Follaton Wood. He’s been my favorite artists for most of my adult life. Old Pine is another favorite of mine and The Wolves, Only Love is of course great, but easily one of his most well known, sorry geeking out coming across this video as I don’t see much of Ben anywhere. First time driving myself out of state was to see him play in Chicago.
Thank you for that suggestion of song. Absolutely brilliant. I cannot get enough of ben howard
Thank you for reacting to one of my all time favourite songs! Ben Howard is so talented and I'm so happy to see more people coming across his artistry.
Would love to see you react to more Ben Howard. Esmerellda and Black flies are some other songs of his I would recommend.
So happy that you discovered him. He’s a genius. As already suggested, End of The Affair should be your next one 🎶
Ben Howard is simply amazing, I completely agree !
Depth over distance also great
Love how much you get this. End Of The Affair next please.
I LOVE THIS SONG
Reminds me of my childhood 😂 when I first heard this on The Walking Dead, I immediately feel in love
Exactly.
ive loved this song for probably a decade now and i never understood coke in the midas' touch. your quick and incisive reaction is an immediate sub. appreciate your work
About 8 years for me and same... I'm fairly intelligent but just not in this way. I cant believe he understood it instantly. I've listened to this song 10,000 times. On repeat for portrait entire days, and my only 5k run I did for the heck of it hahhaaa
You should react to Ben Howard "Promise" and "The Wolves". He's been my favourite musician over the last 12 years since I heard him on BBC radio 1 live lounge. He's also done a really nice cover of "figure 8" from his BBC live lounge a while back
Promise is ingrained in my soul
I just went to the Apple Music and downloaded this. Fabulous song.
Love Ben and his band. We need more reactions to them.
Ben Howards new album has been on repeat for me. Its really not my kind of music, but I love everything this man does.
He does a kick ass cover of call me maybe actually
I had the honor of seeing him in concert In Chicago. The best performance I've seen live.
It has been a while since I listened to this song. Thank you for bringing it back to me 🙏✌️
Coke in the Midas touch is a way of saying a lie in the truth, or an impurity of something real. Beautiful lyric.
i would definitely focus on Ben Howard's approach to expression as a gesture. He doesn't like looking for "bespoke meaning" in his songs. He truly points his "meaning" as gesture. There's a couple interviews where he examines this more clearly
his lyrics often lead me to remind myself here
Ben howard- oats in the water old pine , burogh island , black flies , conrad ,promise these are some of his best songs in my opinion
Ben and his music is tied to soooo many amazing memories- bless his soul 🎉
Coke isn't or shouldn't used in the smelting of gold. He's saying that Midas touch was tainted and cursed because everything he touched turned to gold including his food and water which led to his death. He's saying that there's a cost to wealth and riches. A joke in the way that we rust could refer to exactly this, the gold is impure, as are we and rusts as a result. All the indulgences and greed (gold) will eventually rust and ruin us. And when we are at the bottom, when we have nothing, we realise what's important and we pick ourselves up and breath again
Should be pinned, thats incredible!
Thank you so much for your explanation
One o fmy favourite songs, theres a version of this song he played for a radio station. Probably the best version outside of seeing it live 10 years ago. Burgh island is also another fantastic song from Ben Howard.
Ben Howard is an absolutely incredible artist, so much passion and talent.
love this song. love watching someone discover it.
Love Ben Howard ❤🌊
my god, the fact that you can dechiper his often very deep lyrics seems to be exactly what Ben has wanted for his music - understanding and his personal drive
Man, one of my all time favourite songs. Esmeralda is also an incredible song.
I love that I can have such a different understanding yet we all appreciate the song.
Primarily “Coke in the Midas Touch” refers to usage of cocaine in finance fields, and “A Joke in the way that we rust and breath again” is the function of our red blood cells. To each their own.
He has great song after great song!! Def a good rabbit hole to go down!
love this one
PS: Ben Howard is a must in any playlist
Burgh island
Another lefty guitar genius (see 'small things') , brilliant live and India Bourne is stunning.
End of the affair Is one of the greatest songs of all time imo
Beyond Beautiful ❤️🔥
i m returning to this song,often, to feel like i m back home agsin, to my kind of people. and i m fucking happy there re still my people in this fucked world. comforting little hope to just keep being, to just keep breathing, making rust.
Big fan of Ben Howard songs, think mixture of emotions involved to do with conciquences also obviously relationships, amazing..
I absolutely love your insight! ❤
I LOVE THAT YOU REACTED TO BEN HOWARD!!!!! Ahhhhh
Thank you so much for reacting to Ben! Please give 'end of the affair' at Jools Holland a try. It's my favorite video on RUclips. Love you and your reactions, wish you the best.
oh my you are like the rain man of reactors. Amazing you have a new sub sir
I cried when hershal cried and this song was playing. It just reminds me of that sad moment. And the song went so well ngl, RIP Scott Wilson 🙏🏼.
Ben Howard is special. Go Cornwall!
Awesome I listen to him a lot ❤enjoyed your take on lyrics I did not know that
I think . If I’m correct in saying. At the time of this song and album. He was having difficulty’s with relationships and also the fame from the previous album. This album was a reflection on his mental state. But wow what an artist we love Ben Howard
One of my all time favourite song writers
This is such a deep meaningful song about life and loss! Its in one of my favorite scenes from walking dead with Hershel and so appropriate. You have to see it.
Bro this brings back so many walking 🧟 memories 🥲 can't wait for the Daryl spin off
This song was absolutely perfect in TWD
Love your thoughts on this, considered and reflective. Thank you.
Eu estava assistindo um dos episódios de the walking dead, eles estavam na prisão, cenário escuro, cena tensa, cheia de sentimentos, pesada, aquele nó na garganta pela situação que estavam vivendo, e começa essa música, desde o primeiro acorde, eu simplesmente congelei, tive sensações físicas ouvindo essa música pela 1a vez, é a perfeição é sublime é indescritível. 💝
Thank you for teaching me in your reaction- ❤new follower here, I appreciate your intelligence!❤
Thanks for the info on the lyric Theres coke in the Midas touch.
I think "A joke in the way that we rust...and breathe again" refers to how we take damage from the "rusting" of oxidative stress that we get from oxygen. The irony of needing the oxygen that slowly kills us.
After the affair on the Jules Holland show. Probably the best live performance I've ever heard
So glad to see you react to this!
Doing what you have to do no matter how hard, or how much it drains your soul.
I'm so glad you explained the "coke and the Midas touch" line. I didn't get what coke was referring to.
You should listen to 'far out' by Ben. Abit of disecting to do in that song. Great job with Oaks such a tune! Ben is the best In the business at what he does
Try "Fink" and "warm shadow" live/acoustic (2 Meter Sessies) , from the same season of TWD, absolutely brilliant.
Goosebumps for DAYSSSSSS
I honestly don’t think I’ve seen you purely enjoy a song so much !
Your knowledge is incredible, easily top 5 reactors !
I interpret the second verse as him rejecting fame. Meidas touch is his game, joke in the rust is him realizing he doesn’t like it over time, and he breathes as he escapes it
It makes me cry. I made a video for veterans using this song
I honestly came across this from The Walking Dead, but it’s such a great song!
Please check out “Civilian” by Wye Oak. You’ll enjoy it thoroughly 👍👍
Check out murmurations. Quite an unusual song with an awesome transition as well. Doubt there’s a good quality video of it though
This song was featured on The Walking Dead in season 4.
If there is coke in midas touch it isn't gold. An illusion made of cheap iron.
The joke in the way that we rust. Is referring to the cruel sense of time passing. Also iron in our blood ages us.
And breathe again. Go again. After what you had rusts away.
My take is That Hes strong enough to go though the trash to keep her up on her ego....
Depth over distance.....Live version
Britain's greatest current musician 👌
Well, there is also Ren
More Ben Howard reaction videos please.
Great knowledge
Can u react to time is dancing
That outro never fails to hit right.
WALKING DEAD FANS STAND UP!
Please react to Far Out - Live by Ben my favourite song !
He hadn't finished it by the time of his death in 1400 exactly. Carpenter's tale is super funny, but Miller's Tale is just hilarious.
Man, this is way away from this type of music (kinda, I been listening to been Howard since Hershel was crying in a scene on the walking dead while this song played) but Anthrax- Blood Eagle Wings+ or- the video is worth a look. It came out, literally, the day I decided to sober up and focus on the things I'm capable of rather than focus on the things I let hold me back.
Great channel by the way, I love the intelligence and understanding you apply to every genre you encounter.
Such an amazing tune.. Walking dead brought me to it
Ay, hershels theme. RIP
TWD in the jail, le désespoir
Its so sad how you see this song,you are not feeling it,there is no explanations for emotions.or you feel or not.
"Rust" meen stuck in emotions
Ben arranges songs like no other, for me better rhan anyone in the business.
I thought it meant everything he touched turned to cocaine. I didn't understand a word you said in that salad
