I paused the Heath Ledger documentary to watch this masterpiece. It touches me deeply and reminds me to live every minute to its fullest. Thanks, Heath and Ben. A true tribute to art, love, and gratitude.
There’s a void in this life with Heath’s absence that cannot be filled. What I would give to hug him and just have that presence back. I keep trying to figure out why his passing has hurt me so much but I don’t think I’ll ever have a complete answer for that. Heath, the memory of you is carried in so many people’s hearts it’s incredible. I truly hope in the deepest way that you are with us all in some way or another….wherever that may be. Thank you for the time you shared with us here.
Heath Ledger’s vision was so full of life and you can see how beautiful and peaceful this is. I wish he was still with us. I’m glad he shared as much of his talent as he did.
I saw a doco about Heath the other night & I couldn't believe how much talent he had, not just as an actor, but as a director & a thinker... a philosopher. A line from the film "Bladerunner" kept going through my head. "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long."
No one expected it. He was so young and looked healthy and happy, and had a long promising career ahead with limitless possibilities. He was amazing. At the point in time I don’t think people had been that shocked over a celebrity death since River Phoenix died.
A finger's touch upon my lips It's a morning yearning Pull the curtains shut, try to keep it dark But the sun is burning The world awakens on the run And will soon be earning With hopes of better days to come It's a morning yearning Another day, another chance to get it right Must I still be learning Baby crying kept us up all night With her morning yearning Like a summer rose, I'm a victim of the fall But am soon returning Your love's the warmest place the sun ever shines My morning yearning
Ben Harper , this song is awesome and Heath Ledger completed it as an artistic masterpiece. I'm shocked how a music video can look when someone really wants to make something beautiful without naked ladies. I'm sure he would have been a great director. Let's enjoy his work as a multi-talented person, I think that's what we would want us to do (and what people said in the documentary), not to be sad that he's not living anymore, his legacy is eternal.
Heath Ledger directed this. This is but one of the many reasons I miss him now and always will. Future generations need to know about this man and the colors of his soul. I'll never get over this loss. Heath Ledger directed this, and I'll carry on missing him.
He could've become a great director, im sure of it. He was a very talented person, in infinite ways, he had a very artistic soul. He was also working on a big project when hes gone, too soon. It was not his time, he still had a lot to give. RIP Heath.
I like the way he (Heath Ledger) rolls away the effects at the end, and you see that the "sun" was just a spotlight, and the smoke machine - and the whole experience was on this small, square stage. Brilliant.
I'm watching this cuz Heath directed it. His mind was so creative. I agree with what Ben said in the documentary "Some people are just bigger than the world has room for." Rip Heath 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Like a summer rose I'm a victim of the fall, but I'm soon returning, soon returning.. Your loves the warmest place the sun ever shines, my morning yearning.
Perth, Western Australia 2016 - Ben shared the story of his friendship with Heath and how Heath directed this video. He dedicated his performance of this song to Heath in his home town. This song has been #1 on my You Tube playlist for years so one of the most beautiful moments in music for me ever.
I was struggling with addiction when I came across the I am Heath documentary to put it simply thanks for saving my life I was really on a dark path wish it was different and I wish someone could of saved Heath he has such a light and talent his work would live on for the next generation ❤
Ben Harper's description of Heath was the best in the documentary. He's my favorite from there and I think I'm now checking out his music. Seems like he's a beautiful soul himself!
Every time i listen this song, it makes me feel good about myself and so happy to be alive. Thank you very much Mr. Ben Harper for this wonderful and powerful song!
Such a beautiful song from an even more beautiful album. Even 15 years on it resonates stronger than ever. Well done Mr. Harper. May God continue to bless you my man. 🙏☺️✌️
I did not no heath ledger directed this until i just finished watching program just five mins ago called to young to die. Health ledger will forever live in are hearts what a legend
Beautiful, i have listened to this song many many times in recent weeks. No specific reason, it's just pure & healing. That's the power of music. Ben Harper's got heart.
I can't believe that Heath Ledger directed and filmed this video for Ben. It's amazing and just the beginning of Heath's directing future. Amazing Ben!!
When I was a teenager, a girl came from Germany to Brazil. We didn't know at the time that we would fell deeply in love with eachother. That's was our song... I used to tell her that that we were living was like a dream, that soon she would wake in her bed and I alone in mine as well. I had the most beautiful year of my life, I bet that was the same for her. So, the time has come and she had to go back to her country. That was so painful to be apart, still is... It still hurt my heart, I still want to cry, I still love her... I love her so much that what I sincerely want her happiness, even if I'm not there, as it is for the last 13 years. This music is not just a music, is a symbol of a unforgotten love. Thank you. I mean it.
I listened to this song while trying to live a lie with a beautiful soul i hurt in unintended ways. Cherish those memories with such remorse for the pain they brought
How beutiful it is ! il y'avait si longtemps que je n'avais pas découvert de nouveaux enregistrements de cet artiste... Tout est toujours aussi harmonieusement assemblé, voix, instruments, mélodie, visuel...
Manhã de Saudade Um dedo tocou os meus lábios É uma manhã de saudade Fecho as cortinas, tento manter tudo escuro Mas o sol está queimando O mundo acorda com pressa E logo será recompensado Com esperanças de que dias melhores virão É uma manhã de saudade
I have always loved Ben Harper and his music this being one my favourite songs along with diamonds on the inside. After Watching the film I am Heath Ledger and finding out that the video was his vision has made all the more special and also made me realise I need a smoke machine ☺
He directed the music video for this song too BTW.... him & Ben were VERY GOOD friends (They also started a music label together called 'Music Masses Co.'). And this video would be the first of 3 music videos Heath would ultimately direct as well
absolutely stunning.. you can feel the talent ... credit also to Heath Ledger.. director. Such a great talent we only get to see once in a great while.
Being a fan of Ben Harper FOR YEARS brought me hear.... It just so happens Heath Ledger directed this video & it was featured on some documentary about Heath... so for all those that "got here" due to the documentary, sorry you missed out on such great music for so many years!!!
Estoy mirando I Am Heath Ledger y enseguida busqué este video y descubrí a su cantante y su hermosa música. Creo que Heath le abrió puertas a mucha gente de bien que lo rodeaba.
This video and song are phenomenal, multiply the way you feel about this video by 100X and that's what is was like for me to see him perform this live last week. Powerful is all I can say.
I paused the Heath Ledger documentary to watch this masterpiece. It touches me deeply and reminds me to live every minute to its fullest. Thanks, Heath and Ben. A true tribute to art, love, and gratitude.

I Am Heath Ledger brought me here. so thankful
same here! ;)
Me too!
Me too :)
me too
Yep same. 😪
This album was all I listened to my last year of high school. This specific track was my walk to school through the forested trails. So pure.
Heath Ledger's passing will go down as one of the most tragic deaths of out modern time. He was so talented and young. He left a big hole.
I saw a doco about Heath the other night & I couldn't believe how much talent he had, not just as an actor, but as a director & a thinker... a philosopher. A line from the film "Bladerunner" kept going through my head. "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long."
How do you know how big his hole was?
You need an ace in the hole, mine’s Harvey
No one expected it. He was so young and looked healthy and happy, and had a long promising career ahead with limitless possibilities. He was amazing.
At the point in time I don’t think people had been that shocked over a celebrity death since River Phoenix died.
"Your love's the warmest place the sun ever shines
My morning yearning"
So beautiful and sad..
Gosh, I love this song so much. Learning that the video was directed by Heath Ledger somehow makes me love it even more.
GreenSagittarius Exactly
A finger's touch upon my lips
It's a morning yearning
Pull the curtains shut, try to keep it dark
But the sun is burning
The world awakens on the run
And will soon be earning
With hopes of better days to come
It's a morning yearning
Another day, another chance to get it right
Must I still be learning
Baby crying kept us up all night
With her morning yearning
Like a summer rose, I'm a victim of the fall
But am soon returning
Your love's the warmest place the sun ever shines
My morning yearning

Video directed by Heath Ledger. One of the nicest commercial music videos I"ve seen. And one of the sweetest lyrics
it is a prayer of love without religion.
Heath Ledger best of people. And as it turned out, his work is undeniable. I am Russian but he is the only actor that I liked...
Happy Birthday Heath 🥺❤️

Manhã de Saudade
Um dedo tocou os meus lábios
É uma manhã de saudade
Fecho as cortinas, tento manter tudo escuro
Mas o sol está queimando
O mundo acorda com pressa
E logo será recompensado
Com esperanças de que dias melhores virão
É uma manhã de saudade
