Mr Clementine has some thing very close to Nina Simone or Edith Piaf, in the way he tells his story , in the raw & direct transmission of his feelings and emotions. Naked scars exposed to everyone. The “no filter, no shame” rendering that those who have lost everything and have nothing else than their feelings to give. Intense & precious . Thank you Benjamin
That's exactly it. When you know, it's because you have also dealt with great loss and pain. But how he just delivers such raw and powerful things in this way. It literally knocked the air from my lungs and left me in floods of tears.
It’s interesting to note that some people commenting have never heard of Benjamin before! I believe he was a guest on Later about 9 years ago and played this song on the show. The first time I heard him (about 5 years ago) I found him such a unique artist and love his songs. Adios, I won’t complain, Gone and Nemesis are some of my favourite tracks. If you look up some of his earlier videos you will be surprised at how much he has developed over the years, with a change in voice and looks. Look out for Benjamin performing (busking) on the Paris Metro🙂
First time I've heard Benjamin on this show, sat there with jaw dropped. I've played this song so many times now I've lost count. Just orederd a couple of albums and can't wait for my journey into them. What a voice, what a composer. Ty Benjamin 🎹🎶
Thanks all for the input. I'm drawn to experimental stuff anyways but can I ask James F, when you say 1st 'album', would that be At least for Now or the EP Glorious You. Or is there an even earlier one?
I saw Benjamin at the Royal Albert hall last week and haven't stopped thinking about it since. It was jaw droppingly mesmeric. He is a once in a generation talent
There's a few things that losing a child to suicide will due to a mother. One, it will give you a pain that is absolutely never ending and indescribable. Two, you will become part of the group you didn't even know existed to try and survive it. Three, no matter how many other children you have it won't change the loss. Four, your life will shrink to almost nothing. I lost my father to suicide as a teenager, I lost my brother to suicide in 2014, I lost my mother to suicide in 2020, and now it's been just over a year that I lost my son to suicide. All of those losses were painful. Being the only person left in my nuclear family was very hard to deal with. Losing my son, at 22, is indescribable. What I do know is when I heard this song it is exactly what I feel like every day. The pain in his eyes is so clear to me.
I am alone in a box of stone When all is said and done As the wind blows to the east from the west Unto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest I am lonely, alone in a box of stone They claim to love me but they're all lying I've been lonely alone in a box of my own And this is the place, I now belong It's my home, home, home, home home home home home It's my home, home, home, home home home home home It wasn't easy getting used to this I used to scream It's not true, that it's only when the door is locked That nobody enters 'Cause mine had been open till your demise But none had come, well who am I What have I done, what have I done? I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own They claim to be near me but they're all lying, it's not true I've been lonely alone in a box of my own And this is the place, I now belong It's my home, home, home, home home home home home It's my home, home, home, home home home home home Friends, I have met Lovers have slept and wept Promises to stay had never been kept This bare truth of which most won't share I hope you share 'Cause I have been lonely Alone in a box of my own They claim to love me and be near me But they are all lying I have been lonely, alone in a box of stone And this is the place I now I belong It's my home, home, home, home home home home home It's my home, home, home, home home home home home

Strong Simone vibes
I've missed Benjamin. He's such an unbelievable talent.

Wtf man I heard this guy years ago and now he pulls out an even better version .. the voice the lower the emotion it’s too sick

First album is crazy brilliant.Second was a very disappointing. Third picks up somewhat.
@@jamesfielden4935 Second album was really good imo. Just much more experimental than people were expecting.
@@Missjunebugfreak I didnt give it so much of a chance perhaps, I should really revisit and give it some more playtime! :)

What is the hand emoji mean
Isn't he just amazing! unique, mysterious, and thought provoking. A rare and gifted talent to be admired and treasured!!
What a stunning performance. A beautiful, emotional and thoughtful song.
I love this man! Absolutely beautiful!
Look at those eyes mannnn, he has achieved so much yet he maintained the Benjamin we all knew and love. Pure talent!

Masterpiece
I saw him during the BBK festival and now I would like to listen him properly in an auditory. He was amazing
Steve was feeling that one! Beautiful song.
So glad you exist, Benjamin.

Omg blown away
Lovely pure escapism he recognises the influences but truly owns it, respect!
Moving , expressive and so deep.
A true enigmatic one off!
I am alone in a box of stone
When all is said and done
As the wind blows to the east from the west
Unto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest
I am lonely, alone in a box of stone
They claim to love me but they're all lying
I've been lonely alone in a box of my own
And this is the place, I now belong
It's my home, home, home, home home home home home
It's my home, home, home, home home home home home
It wasn't easy getting used to this
I used to scream
It's not true, that it's only when the door is locked
That nobody enters
'Cause mine had been open till your demise
But none had come, well who am I
What have I done, what have I done?
I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own
They claim to be near me but they're all lying, it's not true
I've been lonely alone in a box of my own
And this is the place, I now belong
It's my home, home, home, home home home home home
It's my home, home, home, home home home home home
Friends, I have met
Lovers have slept and wept
Promises to stay had never been kept
This bare truth of which most won't share
I hope you share
'Cause I have been lonely
Alone in a box of my own
They claim to love me and be near me
But they are all lying
I have been lonely, alone in a box of stone
And this is the place I now I belong
It's my home, home, home, home home home home home
It's my home, home, home, home home home home home
Outstanding talent. Different. Musical. Enigmatic.
Love this man lyrics so deep. He goes there for me ❤
What a performance! Fresh, touching, piece of genusis. Guy is a special human! thank you for this Mr Clementine. WOW :-)
Man is about to blow up big time here in the US I can feel it
Apparently not yet
Great song.
It feels that he has such confidence in his playing. I think that's what draws me to it.
Fantástico Clementine.
Beautiful x
I'm blown away!
Amo!
can't wait to see him in the royal albert hall
I am going to the same show in October 23, my wife doesn't get him but will come with me nonetheless, excited beyond words!
Oh wow ❤️
Such a gift. Such talent, poise and grace. Wow ❤
Beautiful
Like no other!
Espetacular ❤
You're Amazing 👍🎵🎵⭐
Amazing awesome bravo excellent magaling mahusay very Good
Clicked on it thinking we was getting an arctic monkeys cover but came away far from disappointed
Same lmao, I really wanted to see his take on AM
Aye. Thought we were going to the Rusty Hook!!!
I really urge you to delve further into his work, you’ll realize he is much more than a feature on a Gorillaz(btw😂)cover
He's... Sublime trust me. Avant-garde but superb and usually not my thing. Brilliant story to him also.
Benjamin Clementine Forever ❤
Good music and song🌼
so great
Lovely 🎼🎵🎶🎹✨✨✨
TRUE ARTIST 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Magically sad
❤❤❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
💚💚💚💚🇧🇷
It emotion was a voice.
Emotion is a voice.
This is a fucking journey when you’re stoned
This is my church...
aaaay weeey
I thought that this would be an Arctic Monkeys cover 🤣
You words makes no sense 😂
looks like rick Rubin swaying on the drum kit
made a remix for this tune, maybe you'll like it, it's in my profile
If Benjamin Clementine and Peter Hamil had a baby, we might hear soemthing like this... ruclips.net/video/N4k-9Cym72A/видео.htmlsi=iLt-KW7Tb-frVhHu
I don't know what to say
WTF !!! Whos this guy?!!!
