Ben Barnes "Rise Up" [Official Video]

From the "Songs For You" EP: ingroov.es/songs-for-you
This song was the first I finished on ‘Songs For You’ - it started life as an attempt at an uplifting poem and became a little hymn and then this song. It’s very special to me.
The video was conceived by my brilliant friend Georgia King; she captured the grimy melancholic ache of longing, support and love. But there is hope, the building of the ‘sun tv wall’, the stitching together of memories, the ultimate relief of seeing someone strong and ready to ‘rise up’ again. My friend and Punisher co-star, Floriana Lima, graciously agreed to love me for the day.
…The string arrangement by Oliver Krauss is just the most special thing that happened on this record. He melted my heart with this.
This video too would have been impossible without the help of all these humans:

the meaning behind Ben’s songs are truly so majestically beautiful… there is no other way to describe them.

[@heliasn777]

It comes right from his heart & that's why we enjoy it❤

[@thegirlonthemoon.]

Still can’t get over this masterpiece. It gets me every single time. Makes me feel nostalgic, sad, heartbroken, but, at the same time, gives me so much hope and confort. It’s like Ben is giving me a warm embrace, telling me « everything is gonna be ok ». Such a beautiful poetry, touches my soul so deeply. It’s everything my heart needed and more. You are everything Ben. Thank you, so much.

LYRICS (English is not my first language, so please, tell me if there's something wrong) Rise up glorious sun Bathe me deep in your glow Crown my brow glorious one Brighten surely take it slow It is the east, a lion face Shine on mine, scorch pain away And when tonight the moon gets chase Sweet dream of another golden day Rise up, rise up Rise up, rise up Rise up, climb up and meet the sky Sweet love arise Let the sea catch fire See the red rocks crack Let the dark expire No shade at my back Share your light, teach me to see Caress my soul with your rays Warm the world but have some faith in me And I should burn beneath you all my days Rise up, rise up Rise up, rise up Rise up, climb up and meet the sky Sweet love rise *Chorus one more time*

[@michael-mklsn]

thank you so much! the only I've heard differently is the sentence "Caress my soul with your eyes" I heard it as "caress my soul with your rays"

[@SheryRKO]

As someone struggling with mental and physical issues... This song hits deep in my heart. I'm crying, I'm shaking, I have goosebumps... I knew #RiseUp was going to be extraordinary but wasn't ready for this masterpiece... Ben's music is not from this universe!

[@pgracianop]

I feel exactly the same.

[@Jenny_G2906]

Same here

[@ArtemisScribe]

We're all gonna rise up and get through this together guys!

[@InspireQuiet831]

It does…. I felt it so deeply. This portrays a past relationship trauma some of us may be dealing with everyday… this is exactly what it feels like, doesn’t it?

[@SheryRKO]

When Adele releases her new track the same day, but you come here to watch a wonderful music video and listen to a great song so as to support Ben P.S. Really loved transitions here and the way one part smoothly flowed into another. This track will surely be on repeat for the next weeks!

[@lilamoonlight2007]

I couldn't help but imagine Adele featuring in this song, I was like waiting to hear her voice in next verse lol

[@lincerad]

To be honest I still haven't listened to Adele's new song. Barnes album is on repeat all the time

[@vilmaassis3036]

Dear Ben how can I say everything I feel hearing this beautiful song? I know one single thing: your heart is full of love!

BB’s beautiful voice shines on this song. What a great storyteller. When we have a loss the sadness can overwhelm. But that love would want you to #RiseUp, and you can allowing the warmth of that love to stay with you.
