U just right ... and its sad to be in that position cuz im on it right now and im with a huge depression and highly thinking about death and killing myself
vitor velasco Please know that your pain is temporary. This too shall pass. Find the beauty in life, no matter how difficult. If I can, I promise you can. I had a 14 year old cousin take his life in April and it was over such a temporary problem. If I could have just told him it gets better, that his future self would scoff at taking small things so seriously, but it was not meant to be.The void his departure left in all of our hearts is indescribable. Please know that there is always a ray of sunlight somewhere on earth even if its cloudy where you are :)
My name is Cass, & I live in Montana. I'm pretty sure I could count on one hand how many people from Montana listen to Mr. Howard. Anyways nice to meet you.
Hello, I'm from Turkey and everyday I listen to his music. Even my clock alarm is keep your head up. I hate the city I live in so everyday maybe 10 times I listen london song. It's nice to be in touch with other ben howard listeners from world. (By the way my english is not the best 😅)
Idk if anyone is listening to this in 2020 but this is my social situation right now. Don’t know how to deal with it and the world feels like too much. I just pray anyone in a similar situation and I can be lifted from this hole
Facing fear is the only way to get out of these situations no matter how scary they might seem.... I ve been there ...and I found that to be the only way out
Lyrics To be alone To be alone I don't need nobody Oh I, I don't need nobody Oh, I don't need nobody To be alone To be alone And in the darkness a shallow voice And it hears all I bite my tongue, there's a fever I will not let it go I don't need nobody Oh I, I don't need nobody Oh, I don't need nobody To be alone To be alone And in the darkness a shallow voice And it hears all I bite my tongue, there's a fever I will not let it show Yeah, in the darkness a shallow voice And it hears all I bite my tongue, there's a fever I will not let it show I don't need nobody Oh I, I don't need nobody Oh, I don't need nobody To be alone To be alone To be alone
"How had Jess put it? This world was sublime. A world that was awesome in the truer sense of the word, greater in so many respects. In a metaphorical sense, the peaks were higher, the valleys lower, works of art more artful, extremes more… extreme. It wasn’t a good thing. Make the mountains twice as tall and the chasms twice as deep, and things start crumbling. He missed home, but every day, every week, home felt a little further away."
I'm probably one of the few Italians listening to Ben Howard.. I believe he's amazing in his music and way of writing.. I hope to extend here in Italy his acquaintance
This is fairly out of place, but I've just discovered this song. I love Ben and his music so much. And I'm going to see him live on the 22nd of July, it's really a dream come true, and I wish you the same. You will see him. It will happen.
Malgorzata Kiper I had the chance to see him on a whim...didn’t know his music until leading up to concert. How he hell did Ialmost ever miss out on thiseffin’ musical genius an madness
I was in an Inn, the Belligerentt Drunk ale house, when my friend Jeremus recomended this song to me. He was a real friend! RIP, Jeremus, I hope the mods will bring you back, my friend.
Ben Howard is amazing, his music always makes me want to cry, not because it's sad, but because it fills all those gaps that more other artists leave completely untouched.
For all the guys in the comments who feel they are alone don't give up your hopes. There is someone out there for all of us. U might meet them tomorrow or in another 10 years but you will find them and until then stay strong and make most of life good or bad. There are always benefits. Hope this helps
oh really how do you know that, what gives you the right to say that, what can you see the future when we meet that supposed someone. i hate when people say that one day you will find someone as if were just in a waiting game until they show up. you ever ask yourself that maybe some people were meant to be alone, maybe some people dont have the skills to find that someone.
It's not about finding someone. It's about realizing all of us are alone, and always have been, and that love isn't a remedy for loneliness. It's a drug that makes it easier to bear. Each one of us, all of humanity, is a traveler in a foreign land. You will never be understood, not in a way that you find meaningful.
Ben Howard is such an inspiration, his music gives something to me that nothing else ever has or could do, tingles on my spine don't even describe the feeling, so good to see him last year and can't wait and can only pray to see him again some time, keep it up please Ben
One of the best voices and most emotional CDs I've ever heard.... Astounding. I listened to this song and Oats in the Water and Depth over Distance all summer.
I think I'm going to let go of my loneliness, and use this as a theme while doing so. I've always been bad at letting people in, and more than once when I did I wound up getting left behind, or stabbed in the back. I'm not sure I can anymore. But I know now that I want to. I know that I need to.. In the end, people won't always let you down. There are some great people out there.. It might take time to find them, but it's so worth it. No one can live this life by himself or herself, no one should be alone.. And really, if you give people a chance, you don't have to. If you're reading this; keep trying. Don't give up, don't look down and don't look back. With love,
Jøe Then don't, and stop complaining. If no one truly cares, as you're saying, then there's no point in being a little whiny bitch about it. Put your chin up, and kick life in the balls. Simple as that.
Jøe No, you're trying to be poetic and romantic about it, and let's be honest here - you're mking it a lot more dramatic than it needs to be. This "embracing your loneliness thing"? Nah, it's bullshit. Again, stop being a little girl about it.
The Magic Burrito (: Okay, if my moment of simply being done with society and people in general is romantic to you, that's fine I guess. I don't know man, but it just seems to me that you're not really in a position where you can judge whether or not the way I feel is justified.
sitting at the back of the class, my eyes involuntarily singles out her gorgeous brunet hair amid tens of heads placed in my vision, and then she smiles, and then this song plays, it's just a mesmerising scene i'm so in love with.
This was the first song that lead me to you and since then I have picked up my guitar and found that I love it. I've had dreams were I hear your song Esmerelda played. The universe likes you Ben, I think I saw you fly past me as we both fell from heaven ;)
I may be alone in this thought but I find incredible comfort in "I don't need anyone to be alone". Everyone should be able to enjoy being alone even if they rarely need to use such a skill. ♥️♥️♥️
If Ben Howard has made a bad song I haven't heard it yet... AMAZING song writer ...Can't wait for his next album!!! Come to Toronto soon ... PLEASE!!!!!!
Benjamin is a pure soul...i hope, i know ,that last year s separation from Bond brothers will change something in his performaces, but the music will still be a part of his beautiful soul...and i hope the friendship between them will survive after some time....and i hope...and i hope...i desperately need some new songs... just need to be saved again...please, B boy
I've been looking for a song like this all night. Sadly I didn't think to look to Ben Howard, however I love the song even more now I've found it......
no man is an island alone. its not good to be alone. sheep are picked off when they are alone. the deepness of depression though makes me sink more and more
Why doesn't he have more dark style songs like this, oats in the water and black flies? A lot of his music is very sappy, love song kind of shit. I mean it's good, but this style is just much better. He has a great way with moody and haunting music. MORE of this damn it!!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Makes me just want to travel to a remote cabin somewhere, which is full of snow, sitting around a camp fire whilst listening to this song! I love love love his dark approach!
alone...all that I am and all I am left with is me . I don't like that its me . Who pushed me to be here like this . I wish I could I say I am alone. But ME doesn't wanna be with me. I guess , I am alone .
This is just magical, really fits in with the season. I'm just in aura of his voice, style and instrumentals, honestly can't think of a better artist:)
Music speaks for itself and really goes with what I'm going through. Estranged in a country that isn't my place of birth. Being here just for the sake of "taking the step and jumping forward". I can feel that I'm going towards what I always wanted to achieve but it's pretty lonely while I'm at it. Tried to make friends but somehow those I find that I can be friends with are no more than just judgemental or giving bad influence. I'm surprised that I can still make it even though the weight of being alone is heavy.
i don't know what you do with me Ben Howard, but it's definitely good because you change my focus, my perspective on life let alone my feelings and thoughts, it's like you're there just for me and therefor: Thank you :)
One of the best songs and message I have ever heard in my life. Wish I could go back and tell some women I didn't need them to be alone! Thank you so much for this Ben, real music before I go. Peace&Love
Stop fighting it. Stop searching for something else. Know that more exists, and you can have it. I dig. I been there. A lot. It comes in waves lately, and I just try to remember that there is so much out there just waiting for me to come play. Just got to allow yourself. I wish you the best with it all. Much love. Truly.
i don't care that you uploaded all the songs onto youtube. i'm still purchasing this ep. can't wait for you guys to come back to la! keep up the good work!
being alone is okay, until you don't know how not to be. that's when shit gets fucked up and you lose control. i can't distinguish if i am mentally ill or i am simply caught up with my own mind. almost like i don't know how to be.

Just wish I could meet people who listen to this part of the world.
My name is Cass, & I live in Montana. I'm pretty sure I could count on one hand how many people from Montana listen to Mr. Howard. Anyways nice to meet you.
Right, I'm in Ohio and I have 1 friend who listens to Ben. Nice to meet you as well.
:) hello from the other part of the world, Europe - Romania. Nice to meet you, glad to see people all around the world listen to this beautiful music.
from india .. started listening from today :') :')
Hello, I'm from Turkey and everyday I listen to his music. Even my clock alarm is keep your head up. I hate the city I live in so everyday maybe 10 times I listen london song. It's nice to be in touch with other ben howard listeners from world. (By the way my english is not the best 😅)
We all have a Jeremus we miss so much
Just silently riding across Calradia with the boys...
Simpler times...
This song knocked me unconscious
His vids have such fantastic choice of music
@@fdumbass they really do
The meaning of life is to give life meaning
The way you live generates the meaning, so it’s not an objective if you ask me :p
Paulo Pacheco I wish I could gleam such positivity from existentialism 😇
The meaning of life is not found in yourself but in other people also you're welcome
Give some find some make some, the meaning of life is to hear the OneSong, to feel behind your face, in your skull, the punping Universe
deep
My friend jeremus recommended this to me
too bad he was knocked unconscious
Love how his vids just have such great music to suit the scenes
What the hell are you guys talking about?
@@Mindofadirector jeremus
Same!!! Lol
Idk if anyone is listening to this in 2020 but this is my social situation right now. Don’t know how to deal with it and the world feels like too much. I just pray anyone in a similar situation and I can be lifted from this hole
💕
same here man.
Been there ....alone with lot of people around me
Facing fear is the only way to get out of these situations no matter how scary they might seem.... I ve been there ...and I found that to be the only way out
I feel you😑😑 hope better days will come
I don't need nobody
to be alone
And in the darkness
a shallow poison
it has grown
I bite my tongue
there's a fever
I will not let it show
My current situation with my social life
I love how dark and melancholy his songs are. Melancholia is the best feeling ever.
Deep sadness is the best feeling? Wut
Do you even know what melancholia is? Think before you talk.
I agree man love this track
Some of us understand, some of us get upset.
Thomas Michel
the dictionary puts up the definition of deep sadness... I don't see how he didn't think before he talked
Lyrics
To be alone
To be alone
I don't need nobody
Oh I, I don't need nobody
Oh, I don't need nobody
To be alone
To be alone
And in the darkness a shallow voice
And it hears all
I bite my tongue, there's a fever
I will not let it go
I don't need nobody
Oh I, I don't need nobody
Oh, I don't need nobody
To be alone
To be alone
And in the darkness a shallow voice
And it hears all
I bite my tongue, there's a fever
I will not let it show
Yeah, in the darkness a shallow voice
And it hears all
I bite my tongue, there's a fever
I will not let it show
I don't need nobody
Oh I, I don't need nobody
Oh, I don't need nobody
To be alone
To be alone
To be alone
I love the darkness of this EP
Yeah it's amazing

Concordo pienamente con te!!!!! Un saluto da una fan italiana di Ben!!! ❤❤❤
One of the most interesting, magical voices I've ever heard. Now my new dream is to hear you live.
Malgorzata Kiper And my dream is to meet you. :D
This is fairly out of place, but I've just discovered this song.

Mount and blade warband? XD
Ben, your music transports me to a place I never wanna leave. Amazing!
I get what you are saying ( I think), but for these songs of Ben I dont understand I think? I mean its a pretty dark song?
@@Keyakina its a very dark song, thats the appeal
Well said
I'm very grateful. There will always be a musician who will put down how you feel even when you cannot express it yourself.
Ben Howard is amazing, his music always makes me want to cry, not because it's sad, but because it fills all those gaps that more other artists leave completely untouched.
Emotion?
This song gives me the chills every time I hear it, it's so underrated
2,3 mil views and 8.000 likes. Underrated? :D
ichwilldasvideo3 that's not that much for a song that's this good
I understand your point. I think: quantity does not mean quality :)
I think it is
Not underrated, most people lack understanding, patience and the ability to look at themselves deeply.. this music provoked that.
For all the guys in the comments who feel they are alone don't give up your hopes. There is someone out there for all of us. U might meet them tomorrow or in another 10 years but you will find them and until then stay strong and make most of life good or bad. There are always benefits. Hope this helps

Soooooooooo true Went through 10 yrs hating women woke 1 day and there she was 19 yrs later still excites me...
Thank you for these words. You are really sweet-hearted person
It's not about finding someone. It's about realizing all of us are alone, and always have been, and that love isn't a remedy for loneliness. It's a drug that makes it easier to bear. Each one of us, all of humanity, is a traveler in a foreign land. You will never be understood, not in a way that you find meaningful.
What happens when they're gone?

Ben Howard understanding me since 2012. Come to The Netherlands soon.
Ali X je hebt helemaal gelijk
david walstra : Fijn om te weten dat er gelijkgestemden in Nederland zijn ❤
Samee
I know, its astounding how lost you become listening to the music and his voice.
Masterpiece I would say.
This EP is everything I don’t have words for this
Making me want the vinyl, greatest vibe in the world. Pure genius
If Ben Howard has made a bad song I haven't heard it yet... AMAZING song writer ...Can't wait for his next album!!!
Come to Toronto soon ... PLEASE!!!!!!
This gives me the major chills and feels at the same time... and that's fucking awesome.
I don't need nobody but Ben's music and everything will be good.
Benjamin is a pure soul...i hope, i know ,that last year s separation from Bond brothers will change something in his performaces, but the music will still be a part of his beautiful soul...and i hope the friendship between them will survive after some time....and i hope...and i hope...i desperately need some new songs... just need to be saved again...please, B boy
And I lost everybody...
Now I will die alone.
This EP is such a dark bliss..
Love it
He is so talented, and this song is so wonderful, I like, that his new songs are different to Old Pine etc., all his songs are just wow.
I've been looking for a song like this all night. Sadly I didn't think to look to Ben Howard, however I love the song even more now I've found it......
awesome how everyone walks out on you. just gotta realize all you got is in you.
The best thing about it is, they are both insanely talented musicians.
nothing better to wake up to than a sub box filled with ben howard! life = complete!
Listening to this song wrapped up in a blanket and a cup of tea :)
I feel like I'm floating when I listen to Ben Howard.
You just listed my two favourite artists of all time. RESPECT.
no man is an island alone. its not good to be alone. sheep are picked off when they are alone. the deepness of depression though makes me sink more and more
Why doesn't he have more dark style songs like this, oats in the water and black flies? A lot of his music is very sappy, love song kind of shit. I mean it's good, but this style is just much better. He has a great way with moody and haunting music. MORE of this damn it!!!!
Agreed. I often listen to this while running around on the Corsten savestate
You must not have heard his recent album "I Forget Where We Were"
+13realmusic I was thinking the same. All fairly dark, quite impressive shit
Esmeralda by Ben Howard
+EQOAnostalgia 13realmusic is right! The new album is very dark styled
And this song is just great. All of your songs are pure magic.
This song gives me chills down my spine, deep and dark.
I love it
Love the transition between the chorus and verses
Absolutely beautiful! Makes me just want to travel to a remote cabin somewhere, which is full of snow, sitting around a camp fire whilst listening to this song! I love love love his dark approach!
Still searching for Ben's stuff I don't like....the search will continue. This guy is brilliant!!!
You clearly don't know how to appreciate Ben's music. This, is fucking beautiful.
when the happiness get ur joy when a beautiful moment make u sad...
i love the huskiness in his voice in this song.
This EP is going to be earth shatteringly amazing.
Remember, don't die for a queen, live for a king
nearly cried when I watched the Walking Dead episode with this song in, so much love for his voice/lyrics/music
hayley simpson which episode?
That was oats in the water
You make great music man, never stop :)
Is it just me or have I seen this question before, and how come I keep liking it!
I have uncoditional love for ben and his music.
I'm so alone and have been for years.
There are billions of people on the planet you are not alone.Open up your heart and care for people and you will find that they will care for you too.
Lost Amongst Stars
Me too man/woman, been ten plus years ...introverted isn’t all that bad
Fuck ppl
best music in this world! Ben is genius
That drop in is so sensational!! Awhhh
if i had to listen to one artist everyday till i died, ben howard would be the one i chose in a heart beat...
This song is so unique but so beautiful. Ben is insanely talented, love the Burgh Island ep!
mad chills at 1:54
alone...all that I am and all I am left with is me . I don't like that its me . Who pushed me to be here like this . I wish I could I say I am alone. But ME doesn't wanna be with me. I guess , I am alone .
This is just magical, really fits in with the season. I'm just in aura of his voice, style and instrumentals, honestly can't think of a better artist:)
His accent lends such a distinctively different quality to his songs, I absolutely love it.
Can't wait to get my hands on this, never stop creating music.
Music speaks for itself and really goes with what I'm going through. Estranged in a country that isn't my place of birth. Being here just for the sake of "taking the step and jumping forward". I can feel that I'm going towards what I always wanted to achieve but it's pretty lonely while I'm at it. Tried to make friends but somehow those I find that I can be friends with are no more than just judgemental or giving bad influence. I'm surprised that I can still make it even though the weight of being alone is heavy.
Caprey Lance hope you find peace brother
Thanks bro, everything is going to be alright
Much love for you too from Australia :)
i wanna be a film maker when i grow up this is so going on my soundtrack
Ben Howard you've out done yourself this is fucking amazing, fair play you are God
I ENJOY HIS LYRICS AND MUSIC HIS SINGING IS EXCEPTIONAL

BEN... wow! he can take my breath away... Its like every time he sings, he grabs my heart & soul and make it the most beautiful place!
I heard this music alive, when it ended, i realized what being alone ment, just the vibe that sends gives you a thunder on your spine
Absolutely stunning! This guy is a genius. There's something so special about his music...
i don't know what you do with me Ben Howard, but it's definitely good because you change my focus, my perspective on life let alone my feelings and thoughts, it's like you're there just for me and therefor: Thank you :)
One of the best songs and message I have ever heard in my life. Wish I could go back and tell some women I didn't need them to be alone! Thank you so much for this Ben, real music before I go. Peace&Love
Stop fighting it. Stop searching for something else. Know that more exists, and you can have it. I dig. I been there. A lot. It comes in waves lately, and I just try to remember that there is so much out there just waiting for me to come play. Just got to allow yourself. I wish you the best with it all. Much love. Truly.
literal perfection, omfg.. every single one of his songs
Ben Howard feeds emotions into my soul,I begin to cry over the purity and depth of his voice,
Sooo perfect! Sooo Ben Howard! And the deepness of his low tones! Ahhhh :)
i don't care that you uploaded all the songs onto youtube. i'm still purchasing this ep. can't wait for you guys to come back to la! keep up the good work!
I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure my ears just came.
Definitely makes you tingle.
Musical genius
being alone is okay, until you don't know how not to be. that's when shit gets fucked up and you lose control. i can't distinguish if i am mentally ill or i am simply caught up with my own mind. almost like i don't know how to be.
Got the vinyl edition. So glad I bought it.Thanks Ben for making this stunning music.
Listened to this once and had to replay it....mesmorizingly beautiful.
