How does he manage to do it? Every song is so poetically pleasing and yet so relatable. Dear Keaton, you're one of the artists I can never grow bored of. ❤️

I’ve been listening to this absolute gem of a man since about 2013-14 and I never grow tired of his writing. Some of the roughest parts of my life were made better by him.
I'll add to this. I found him around 2012. My emotional intelligence was quite low at the time. I had recently been dumped by a girl and I wasn't handling being rejected very well. I binged his music during that time. I still go into a time machine when I listen to Dear... I think of how miserable I was feeling and how silly it seems now.
@@Aei934 You Don't Know How Lucky You Are and Prologue give me this weird comforting sadness whenever I listen to the album again. I'm positive that his music will follow me for a very long time.
As an artist myself (as well as someone who’s extremely aware of his emotions), Keaton’s a musician I’ve always felt very close to. This song honestly just proves it. Being a professional creative really does feel like this sometimes; like you’re working and trying to be happy and doing and making and creating and it’s impossible to balance it all. It drives so many artists into the ground, but the image of the relentlessly dedicated artist is the one that prevails. The ones that suffer anything and give up everything to perfect their craft are given stardom, despite their usually tragic ends. I think Keaton knows this, like I do, and that scares me to my core sometimes.
I deal with mental illness as well as chronic physical illness. I’ve dealt with so much pain, figuratively and literally, and yet, hearing the pain that Keaton expresses makes me feel less alone and also makes me fiercely want better for everyone suffering. He has this amazing ability to express such vulnerability in such deceptively simple ways but they hit you like a punch to the gut. It makes me want to wrap him, and everyone who relates to and understands the emotions he expresses, in blankets and give them a hot drink and just comfort them. Thank god for artists like Keaton, who turns his demons and damage into art that is cathartic and so needed for others with their own demons and damage. It’s not only brilliant and deeply personal art, it’s a conduit for understanding, empathy, pain, self reflection, and so much more. I’m a little overwhelmed so my thoughts are scattered but I hope this made some kind of sense. It’s painful to experience someone else’s pain but it’s also incredibly important. On the more technical side of things, this man is a wonderfully poetic lyricist, a unique and achingly beautiful performer. I hope he knows this. ❤️
How is this MAN NOT WINNING Grammys....voice...song writing....album...record....god he is absolutely incredible....but wait he's no sell out either...ok I will save him for me...
I have a history with depression, and this week my grandma passed away. Your songs have always been a comfort to me through tough times. Your songs will always have a place in my heart, especially Elevator Song. Thank you Keaton, thank you so much.
For whatever reason, the themes and release dates for Keaton's albums have matched the state of my mental health over the course of my adult life. I love them all, but the hope in Monument hits different. I'm so grateful for this music.
Was having a really hard night. This song really hit hard. Im grateful for the people around me that keep me sane. Thank you for this song, it expresses it so well.
Once again a beautiful masterpiece. I love it, yet it makes me feel sad...this song is deep. Remember we are here Keaton and we are listening and love you❤️ Thank you for sharing part of your world and talent with us.
i had to watch this twice. one to admire the song and once to admire the puppetry in the music video. i will now proceed to listen to this 100 more times today
I love your beautiful soul, you are adored Keaton! I hope you know how much we love your music, your art, everything you do. I appreciate it so much, that you share your creations with us 💜
Come here Keaton, I will hold you so tight that I won't let you fall. Thanks for this masterpiece. Maybe I´m crying but I feel healed... take care !!! Love you so much 💜
On imperceptible fire, crumbling within, his little world is falling apart, but he keeps making art, still... I can't find words to declare how delicate this song is, and how it makes me feel, all I know is it softly uncovers its way to hearts. I truly hope it gets the recognition it deserves. Thank you 🖤
Scary that he is almost describing himself being bled dry of words to express himself.. I truly hope not...this man is an exceptionally gifted writer and all he touches is relatable to the human condition.
I first heard this song with my soulmate sharing the headphones and holding hands :") we're no longer together but i still think he's my soulmate and i'm so sad now that i'm listening to it on my own
I must be honest I'd not heard of this guy before, and not sure why it came up on my recommendations but wow, as I spend my first ever Christmas Eve on my own, I'm so glad that I heard this, it really touched me. Thank you :)

One of those situations where you press 'like' THEN press play.
Exactly!
@@Dude-tv6cj and sure enough, Mr. Keaton Henson delivered! Like always.
yes
Always!
Exactly
I missed you ✨🌸
We all have.
keaton Henson takes the definition of art and music to a whole new level.
How does he manage to do it? Every song is so poetically pleasing and yet so relatable. Dear Keaton, you're one of the artists I can never grow bored of. ❤️
I'm just so happy that Keaton is back to making music 😭
I'll write till there's nothing left of me
oh no
how lonely I'll be
I'll cry for help when I need it, thanks
oh no
I'm dancing my self to death
hold me down
be my ambulance
I'm empty
but don't it sound so good
oh no
I'd stop if I could
I'm half a songwriter half a man
not fully either
oh no
I'm dancing my self to death
hold me down
be my ambulance
I'm running out of steam
are you still listening
my blood is mostly ink
don't leave me here
I'm dancing my self to death
hold me down
be my ambulance
be my ambulance
be my ambulance
be my ambulance...
sorry if I got something wrong, english is not my first language, thank u all and thanks to Keaton for this masterpiece
You did great! 💕
Thanks!!!! Love people who write lyrics in the comments✨
@@valeriyaivanchuk2555 thank you so much ♥️

It's "I'd stop if I could" not "I'll stop it I could." Good job for most of it, though.

I still can't believe there's new music by him...

Found Keaton in 2014 and very grateful I have stuck around.

Keaton, you have gotten me through so much stuff, you wouldn't believe it. Love this, and I'd love to seen more orchestra peices. Take care 💙
I’d never been so early to one of his videos. His music is like a caress to the soul. I love him and the wonders he makes. Definitely made my night.
This song has pulled my heartstrings so deeply, I love it
For whatever reason, the themes and release dates for Keaton's albums have matched the state of my mental health over the course of my adult life. I love them all, but the hope in Monument hits different. I'm so grateful for this music.
every song is beautifully crafted and every music video is just as unique and beautiful as the last. So much admiration for his style.
Wow, didn't expect such a pleasantly beautiful surprise this evening, Keaton. Glad to hear you're back making songs. Missed you a ton.
How is a puppet so expressive?? The puppeteer is so talented!
always the best notification
So much beauty and pain😭😭❤️
Hope you're doing okay, so good to hear your voice again!

I'm still wandering how can someone be so pure.

When your so early no ones posted the lyrics :’)
You wondrous creature of creation
