I wish I could meet this man. I would love to shake his hand and thank him. Thank him for being able to express things that I myself do not have the ability to. His music breathes into the soul, it relates to a certain darkness and sadness yet aids in setting it free. Its magic, really. Thank you, Ben. For everything.
Thank you for this comment. I felt all this seeing him live a few days ago and I wouldn't have been able to put it in words. His music does speak to the soul, it's incredible. I was just there listening to it and started crying out of nowhere, because there's something so dark in his music, yet so powerful.
Teresa Pereira I get to see him soon and I can't even describe how excited I am. I don't think I can comprehend the feelings that I will get when listening to him live, and can't wait for them. Im glad you enjoyed the show though :) His music truly is magical.
I do as well. He is the best story teller of my generation, and I want to gather around the fire pit and listen to him paint beautiful pictures with his words :)
There was a writer describing his concerts as more of a religious event than a concert... thought that was bazaar until I saw him live in Nashville recently. Wow, no words, it felt like the building and every individual in it was resonating at the same exact frequency. The emotion transcended beyond anything I had ever witnessed. You feel and sound like a weirdo trying to explain the experience to anyone that hasn’t seen it. Unbelievable… I sometimes listen to it at the house while I’m cooking dinner before my wife gets home and there will be parts I could almost just cry, but not in a sad way. More like in a way were your just appreciating something so beautiful there is no appropriate response.
Evan Berry beautiful comment, funny autocorrect fail. Bazaar instead of bizarre. Actually...I can picture somebody walking through a bazaar, looking through, but not at the woman he is with as they walk.
It's the guitar and slide at 3.22 that sends me spinning. It's sounds like music crying, like loss and a mourning. My heart just implodes every time I hear it. This song sends me into a deep isolation and makes me lonely and I like it. I cannot stop listening to this track. For me this is by far the best song Ben has ever released.
i was working marley park 2 years back doing security . after a hard days searching and running after gate jumpers i was mentally exhausted and fuming . my boss let me into the last hour of the concert and ben was playing . completely lifted my mood and ended up bumping into friends i had not seen in years . probably one of the better moments ive had .
Ben or Ben's people who may be reading this… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - We need a US Tour and not just music festivals. Granted I learned of him at the ACL music festival 2 years ago, but I haven't been able to see him live since. Too much talent to keep all to the UK and EIRE. :)
Ey' man, he hasn't done a UK and EIRE tour for ages. We need our fair share of epicness, we need our fair share of Ben :) But, Ben can do what he wants, if he goes and performs 50 concerts in the Vatican, and nothing else for that year. I wouldn't complain as he is doing what he wishes :) Peace.
I had the amazing chance to see him live in Montreal 2 years ago. He shared his musical experience with us so deeply, he's not "show off", he's a wonderful musician, songwriter-singer.
Magic......pure MAGIC.... for 2 years already this song has no comparison....and I know music I tell you..... `.....for You..... I have sooooo many Words..`.... thank You Ben , for a song / tune that says it all!!!!!
I always listen to Ben Howard on the train from Dundee to Edinburgh, his music works brilliantly with the Scottish coastline. Excited for the new album!
I was once on the train from Edinburgh to sheffield(going back home from a 5 day get away) and it was raining, there was tick fog and the train was moving fast. Bens song Esmerelda was playing and it suited the moment perfectly as we were just along the coast
You know what is the sign of a massively good album? It's better to you with every next listen, like a good wine getting better with time. That's exactly how I feel about this album, I love it more and more. It's a beautifully rounded love story. - That's another thing, I actually listen to the album in whole perhaps even more often than individual songs, it just feels so well put together.
Such a good song! Ben´s songs doesn´t just reach my ears, they reach my bones, and spine. As I read in a earlier comment, Ben Howard is the best song writer of our generation. Without doubt.
The amount of emotion this man gets out of his music and words is unreal. I have never stumbled upon an artist with so much realness to his music and without a doubt Ben is my favorite artist.
I wish I could explain what I feel when I listen to Ben Howard. Probably physics, the strings theory or whatever but something makes an echo deep inside of me. Amazing.
Never loved an artist as much I love Ben Howard. So happy and excited! Just a pure musical genius, feels like every song he writes, he writes/sings for the person listening.
My favourite artist so many memories over the years that I have listening to his songs, I’m blessed to have discovered this amazing artist when I was younger.
Listening to This album 2021 and after a break up in 2020. Ive listened to Ben Howard throughtout the years and also listned to all his albums but it hits so hard right now and the pain is real now and back then id listen to his music and think about how it’ll feel to be heart broken, the irony.
Ben for eternity N yeah bon iver too ♡ Glen, fink too. The nationals they are my true love. I found them by movie Warrior And I have always kept listening to them afterwards. N yeah Radiohead too Pure art rock. Love everyone u mentioned So much in common. U rock mate. U r sucha pure soul man
I regret listening to this when I was in a sad time of my life... Even though this is one of my favorite songs, I avoid listening to it so that I don't get all those feelings. Anyway, beautiful song, beautiful voice. Keep up the good work Ben
Ah, Ben. Wonderful. I can't get enough of your music. Your music is the kind that I don't even want to sing with because I'm listening too closely to how beautiful it is.
Whether you use an Academic or a Scholar to describe the significance of this track, truth is it's another quality Ben Howard tune that will not reach enough souls. Thanks Ben!
ben howard you are my love he is single handly the best singer/song writer out there, i can listen to his songs on repeat for weeks and never get sick of them, he's absolutely amazing.
I absolutely love the lyrics and bens take on love. Instead of writing about finding a new girl to fall love with as most songs do, Ben writes about rediscovering an old love just within a new form and it is absolutely beautiful. I could be just completely misinterpreting the lyrics but that's how it sounds to me and I love it
I remember listening to 'the wolves' all those years ago and being the first indie song I had ever heard I instantly fell in love with the genre. To this day nothing makes me feel the way Ben Howard's music does, this song is bliss!
My gosh, Ben Howard always killin' it, my man, never stop doing your thing! Can't wait for this album, I'm so stoked it has a similar sound to Burgh Island EP, I love that EP so much, its so powerful! Can not wait!
you know, im russian and maybe can not understand all the words ben is singing, but the music and his voice itself just gets to your soul, its unbelievably amazing song
Not to compare Damien and Ben but.. it's really hard not to lose track of reality when you transfer yourself to an undefined musical dimension. God help all true artists and poets, and bless their "peace of mind"
When I saw this I almost cried of excitement, I fell in love with this song the first time I heard a live version here on youtube. Amazing, Can't wait for October 20th!
cannot contain my excitement for the new album , pre ordered it as soon as it was available!! this man never fails to amaze me !! always have and always will be in love with his voice and songs !!
Every song he releases is perfect. His song writing is amazing and I'm so excited for the album release :) Feels like I've been waiting forever but it will be so worth it.
This song is so beautiful. One of my favorites because the song can mean so many things to people. It can be sadness, happiness, hope, love, etc. The way he sings the song and how he puts so much soul is amazing.
I love this music. It is simply incredible and gives off the best feelings. Ben Howard is my favorite musician. I also love the community on these comments. I look at comments on so many other videos and it is always hate. Everyone arguing and fighting. Here, people are kind and caring.
❤❤❤ IO AMO PROFONDAMENTE QUESTA CANZONE!!! IN ASSOLUTO LA MIA PREFERITA DI SEMPRE!!! LA MIA SALVEZZA!!! GRAZIE INFINITE BEN, CON TUTTO IL MIO CUORE!!! 🎶🎶🎶
His songs are so beautiful. They remind me of the holiday i went to the Lake District last year, in the summer, and my parents would play his 'Every Kingdom' album in the car. I'd love to meet Ben Howard in person
You and your Band.... "you are".... such good musicians and artists... Thank you for turning your inside out again. Thank you for these sounds. Thank you. I bow my head. B-)
I was extreme afraid Ben Howard would change to much. He really changed much, but in a very good way, he as a artist is growing, every new song he makes he exceeds himself. He is just perfect.
I wish I could meet this man. I would love to shake his hand and thank him. Thank him for being able to express things that I myself do not have the ability to. His music breathes into the soul, it relates to a certain darkness and sadness yet aids in setting it free. Its magic, really. Thank you, Ben. For everything.

+Dakota W. yep thank u for the comment!!
+Dakota W..... we have the ability...say... i love myself. i seek out love...
So much feeling. I don't know about anyone else, but I get into Ben's music more than any other.
amen
Alli Feay How did I know you would see this ;)
I do as well. He is the best story teller of my generation, and I want to gather around the fire pit and listen to him paint beautiful pictures with his words :)
couldn't agree more. He's great!
I feel you, man. Ben's music is like nothing else.
Ben and Damien Rice are probably the most underrated artists of this generation
totally agree too
FUCKING YES! DAMIAN IS THE BEST
They are both amazing
definitely my two favourites! they are incredible

Evan Berry Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. I really appreciate it!
Evan Berry How high were you
Prenner111 sober
nice comment, thanks for sharing
Ben Howard would work so well with Daughter, they both have similar vocals.
They played Black Flies together on tour! :)
:O!
Sam Potts That's actually how I found Ben Howard, thanks Daughter ;)
that would be a divine collaboration.
Ben Howard & Daughter - Black flies
i'm always on the verge of tears when listening to this album, but i can never tell if they're tears of joy or sadness
+Livvy Kennah nice comment
+Livvy Kennah Depends on what this song reminds you of, maybe its both.
+Livvy Kennah of inspiration. Feeling it.
+Livvy Kennah Totally same...
+Livvy Kennah Same heree
I've never loved any artist as much as him. He's perfect.
Im with you on that!!
Its alright to listen to this repeatedly for the past 30 minutes, isn't it?
And what about couple of years? ;)
It's the guitar and slide at 3.22 that sends me spinning. It's sounds like music crying, like loss and a mourning. My heart just implodes every time I hear it. This song sends me into a deep isolation and makes me lonely and I like it. I cannot stop listening to this track. For me this is by far the best song Ben has ever released.
I relate so much to this.

Hey, we made him we keep him haha :P
hes gonna be in NY oct 29 and LA. wohoooooooooooooo
Enjoy! Hehe :D
I had the amazing chance to see him live in Montreal 2 years ago.
He shared his musical experience with us so deeply, he's not "show off", he's a wonderful musician, songwriter-singer.
The instrumental section toward the end of the song with the slide guitar added in is just so wonderfully composed...I find it absolutely blissful.
Magic......pure MAGIC....
for 2 years already this song has no comparison....and I know music I tell you.....
`.....for You.....
I have sooooo many Words..`....
thank You Ben , for a song / tune that says it all!!!!!

Peace, Love, Unity and Respect, for your ability to move me, through stories, and melodies, that cut right through, into what matters most.
Dreamtrip exactly.
Tears fell watching this live at Somersault 2014, a genius songwriter, nobody like him in decades...
You know what is the sign of a massively good album? It's better to you with every next listen, like a good wine getting better with time.

Ben, seriously, I can't imagine a single day without your music!
Dawid Kowalski ❤️
Such a good song! Ben´s songs doesn´t just reach my ears, they reach my bones, and spine. As I read in a earlier comment, Ben Howard is the best song writer of our generation. Without doubt.
Everything Ben Howard please. I'm so obsessed with him.
The amount of emotion this man gets out of his music and words is unreal. I have never stumbled upon an artist with so much realness to his music and without a doubt Ben is my favorite artist.
I wish I could explain what I feel when I listen to Ben Howard. Probably physics, the strings theory or whatever but something makes an echo deep inside of me. Amazing.

I love the way we’re left to question if he’s talking to someone he loves or love itself.
I think I have found the only page on RUclips where there is no negativity! Perfect song!
Why is this man so underrated?! Gosh! So many feelings listening to his songs. I hope he'll make music til the day he dies.
Ben howard, Damien rice, Glen hansard, Fink, The nationals, Ben nichols and etc...they help me stay alive
mus Annic ❤️
Ben for eternity
N yeah bon iver too ♡
Glen, fink too.
The nationals they are my true love.
I found them by movie Warrior
And I have always kept listening to them afterwards.
N yeah Radiohead too
Pure art rock.
Love everyone u mentioned
So much in common.
U rock mate.
U r sucha pure soul man
This guy always captures how I feel, so perfectly. I feel like I am listening to a beautiful version of my mind
I regret listening to this when I was in a sad time of my life... Even though this is one of my favorite songs, I avoid listening to it so that I don't get all those feelings.
Anyway, beautiful song, beautiful voice. Keep up the good work Ben
I get the same emotions when I listen to Ben Howard and Bon Iver. I made a Bon Iver radio on Pandora and that's when I found out about Ben Howard.
They are the music artists you show to people who say "there is no good music in these days"
John Frusciante, Damien Rice, and Ben Howard. Three of the greatest musicians in our lifetime.
And don't forget Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala from *At The Drive-In* and *The Mars Volta* *{::>_
This song is both my worst nightmare and the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Amazing, Ben. Please come back to Philly!
shared this on the Facebook page of 10:11 PM - The power of music!
He is my ultimate fav artist, hands down. Can not wait for his new album and im deffo seeing him on tour!
thank you Ben Howard for gettin me through the worst of times and being the soundtrack for the best xxx
This is probably the most beautiful son I've ever heard.
This song holds something for a reason.
It makes me quite nervous.
I honestly never thought I could love any other album even close to his first, but this one... this one really delivers!
I want Hozier, Daughter and Ben Howard to work together on one song. Imagine that one hell of mastepiece they will come up with.
And Novo Amor!!!!
I love you Ben. So great to finally have the studio version. See you (again) in Paris ♥
I can never not be in the mood to listen to some Ben Howard! Loving this song so much, definitely a new favourite.
The kind of music that arouses a true aesthetic experience. Just stunning.
I would agree...his concerts are sacred and glorious Evan Berry....he holds sacred space and raw emotion...really really special....
I could listen to this on repeat forever.
Quite late but I nominate this song the best I heard in 2021. The whole album is a masterpiece.
The only artist who gives me that feeling! Tears down my face everytime I hear his voice and I don't even know how to explain it
This is just so perfect i can't explain my love for the studio version of this song.
Ah, Ben. Wonderful. I can't get enough of your music. Your music is the kind that I don't even want to sing with because I'm listening too closely to how beautiful it is.
Whether you use an Academic or a Scholar to describe the significance of this track, truth is it's another quality Ben Howard tune that will not reach enough souls. Thanks Ben!
ben howard you are my love
he is single handly the best singer/song writer out there, i can listen to his songs on repeat for weeks and never get sick of them, he's absolutely amazing.
Ben please bring this amazingness to Red Rocks next year.
I absolutely love the lyrics and bens take on love. Instead of writing about finding a new girl to fall love with as most songs do, Ben writes about rediscovering an old love just within a new form and it is absolutely beautiful. I could be just completely misinterpreting the lyrics but that's how it sounds to me and I love it
Ben Howard never fails to surprise me.
I remember listening to 'the wolves' all those years ago and being the first indie song I had ever heard I instantly fell in love with the genre. To this day nothing makes me feel the way Ben Howard's music does, this song is bliss!
So ready for his new album.
''Maybe it was peace at last, who knew...''💜
The force is strong with this one.
Am I the only one who cries at this song? In like, 15 seconds after the start?
man's a modern day genius.
the two vocal tracks at the end. perfection. so many feelings.
Ben Howard's music really touches my feels. Pure&incredible raw talent.
Everything he sings sound like... soul and heart, every chord, every word. Only love, Ben, only love!!
My gosh, Ben Howard always killin' it, my man, never stop doing your thing! Can't wait for this album, I'm so stoked it has a similar sound to Burgh Island EP, I love that EP so much, its so powerful! Can not wait!
Ben's music is my escape.
There's something so human and compassionate about this song. Love it.
What is it about this man that just oozes instant bangers, jammers, and feels
Ive listened to his first album hundreds of times and Im still not bored of it. So excited for more!
you know, im russian and maybe can not understand all the words ben is singing, but the music and his voice itself just gets to your soul, its unbelievably amazing song
Not to compare Damien and Ben but.. it's really hard not to lose track of reality when you transfer yourself to an undefined musical dimension. God help all true artists and poets, and bless their "peace of mind"
This song is incredible.
Have a feeling Bens album is going to get me through my final year at college, what a guy! His music blows peoples minds!!
Can not wait for the album !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Possibly the best song writer ever :)
THIS IS JUST DIVINE!
When I saw this I almost cried of excitement, I fell in love with this song the first time I heard a live version here on youtube. Amazing, Can't wait for October 20th!
cannot contain my excitement for the new album , pre ordered it as soon as it was available!! this man never fails to amaze me !! always have and always will be in love with his voice and songs !!
Every song he releases is perfect. His song writing is amazing and I'm so excited for the album release :) Feels like I've been waiting forever but it will be so worth it.
Can't believe I just found out about this guy and he's becoming one of my fave artists already
This song is so calming.
It's so much more sophisticated than his first album; this is truly exceptional
I love experiencing music that I don't just hear, but I feel as well.
This song is so beautiful. One of my favorites because the song can mean so many things to people. It can be sadness, happiness, hope, love, etc. The way he sings the song and how he puts so much soul is amazing.
I like the passion he puts into this song! That's the way I sing my own songs and thats the way every musician on this planet should sing their songs!
such a great guy and musician i was listening to him on radio 2 last night i think his new album will be amazing such emotional music
This is the first time i have heard of Ben Howard. I heard it on an advert and i was like WOW this is a good song
I love this music. It is simply incredible and gives off the best feelings. Ben Howard is my favorite musician. I also love the community on these comments. I look at comments on so many other videos and it is always hate. Everyone arguing and fighting. Here, people are kind and caring.
Only Ben can sing with such passion. You go man.
why do I keep thinking of Bono and U2 when I listen to your stuff? x
my anticipation of this album has been overwhelming.
This song is so much more than lyrics...it's life! This song is incredible and filled with so much emotion!!
❤❤❤ IO AMO PROFONDAMENTE QUESTA CANZONE!!! IN ASSOLUTO LA MIA PREFERITA DI SEMPRE!!! LA MIA SALVEZZA!!! GRAZIE INFINITE BEN, CON TUTTO IL MIO CUORE!!! 🎶🎶🎶
His songs are so beautiful. They remind me of the holiday i went to the Lake District last year, in the summer, and my parents would play his 'Every Kingdom' album in the car. I'd love to meet Ben Howard in person
Whoever the girl was that caused all of his musical emotion I want to thank her and hate her at the same time.
One of my favorites from the new album
And then it just ends! :( I want more of this song... it has been on constant repeat! Ben you are just brilliant!
You and your Band.... "you are".... such good musicians and artists... Thank you for turning your inside out again. Thank you for these sounds. Thank you. I bow my head. B-)
stop to be perfect. It's annoying to get tears each time I listen your titles :)
I was extreme afraid Ben Howard would change to much. He really changed much, but in a very good way, he as a artist is growing, every new song he makes he exceeds himself. He is just perfect.
he's releasing it on my birthday, my 17th just got a whole lot better, love your music man.
Without question a genius songwriter. Was alerted to him by my sons Dan and Tom
