    Currently on a Ben Howard unreleased/unheard-song-spree and I'm so happy to have stumbled across this one. This man is physically unable to make a bad song.

    " Oh you watch me steady, you
    Watch me with such a quiet sincerity
    And you hold me heavy, you
    Hold me like I was born to be held
    And the light comes in here, yeah
    Morning my dear, and the restlessness of arms
    And we lie here longing now
    Words were ours that we'll never be harmed
    ‘Cause you are dear to me
    Yeah you are dear
    But if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid
    If this was how it was meant to fall, no
    If this goes wrong again
    Will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning and just go
    And just go
    And just go
    I made you breakfast, oh
    Soldiers to guard and keep you company
    When I’m goin’ away again
    All faces and falsities of new friends
    Yeah there’s fires here to burn, and
    Timbers left to learn in this young heart
    And honey please don’t think I don’t miss you, no
    Don’t think I don’t think of you when we’re apart
    Because I do dear, I do
    Yeah I do dear
    But if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid
    If this was how it was meant to fall, no
    If this goes wrong again
    Will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning and just go
    And just go
    And just go "

    Sincerely think Ben is the most important song writer of this century. I'm not even exaggerating a tiny bit. Its so powerful, emotional on a complete and pure level. So happy and very sad at the exact same time.

    I never thought I'd consider this song intimate to me, until I listened to it a week ago, when I was in a train, coming back from a few-days-meeting with a person I fell in love with. I was just looking through the train window in the night, listening to this gem and thinking of her. I feel like Ben simply made a short soundtrack for my life. Thank you.

    OMFG can we just leave Ed alone please? He's amazingly talented and so is Ben. To me, they are both perfect in their own ways. We're here to listen to Ben, so let's just focus on him! :)

    Don't say that a singer/band is better than another, because we all have different music preferences and if it brings you joy listening to it, then listen to it. After all that's what music really is all about, it blends in to our emotions and it makes us feel good inside.
