Bens music fits Thailands scenery surprisingly well.

[@petehoneywell5506]

So good to hear new material from Ben, each album has taken him in a new direction. I see India is performing again with his band. Can't wait for the 16th June.

[@lewieaster]

Interesting to hear him note his interest in bird spotting, had always suspected he was a bit of a twitcher given the frequent references to birds in his lyrics

[@ragingbork2701]

Amazing stuff, can't wait for the new album to release!

[@charlesdartagnan8788]

Glad he's back to singing i forget where we were in the original way, was always my favourite version

[@MrSanderteekens]

Covering Mark Knopfler ❤

[@1Q89MUSIC]

Whenever he does an interview I understand why I feel a little out of place sometimes (often) people are so fast and boxy in there conversations especially mainstream radio presenters

[@kyrirhcp]

|It always feels like he's coming from another place, a point higher or beyond, (came in through the wall looking like a simple being, should have known better?), and his interviews never seem to be very good, from the perspective of the interviewer, because they don't seem to ask the right questions. I know he likes being private, and that gives me so much towards his music (i get to interpret it differently depending on the phase in my life, and enjoy each song multiple times over). But like you said, he's boxed in, maybe that's why he's so fluent in his music, because he's unchained, bare, honest.

[@Pumpkin-gk2oj]

What was the mark knopfler song referred to at the end??

[@curlew.]

Potato Picking 🥔

[@MrMojo13ification]

Another clot shot victim, glad he survived. Same happened to my uncle, a marathon runner.

[@smokingpixel9631]

So many C0vid vaccine injuries coming out now, 30 year old chap I work with also had a stroke from it, he hass lost vision in one eye.

[@iasonpassaris]

How is he actually playing the IFWW riffs while using the ebow to get the overtones simultaneously? Is he an octopus?

[@lewisdunn509]

probably a loop pedal for the main chords

[@iasonpassaris]

@@lewisdunn509 You think? I'd find that very un-Howardesque :) The chords seem too inconsistent to just be looped. I can't imagine him just sitting around with an ebow playing single notes the entire song!

[@lewisdunn509]

@@iasonpassaris not necessarily the whole song, but you can swap in between the two with practice, jam on the chords a bit, get the ebow out when not singing etc

[@FRsnakepit]

He just taps the chords with the left hand.

[@iasonpassaris]

@@FRsnakepit I did think about that. Since it's an open tuning the basic chords can probably be tapped with 2 or 3 fingers. Still requires some coordination!

[@thundergrace]

fun

Kier my G, the only one in this mess

[@EPmager]

definitely the only one 😁

[@josee4283]

did he have a falling out with his drummer?

[@knott4me561]

Yes and no.......Google is your friend but its quite complicated

[@f.castropaoletti877]

How is the name of the disease that Ben is talking that he had?

[@knott4me561]

He had a mini stroke infact 2 there called tia,s ...its a condition that attacks the brain and they still don't know why this happens

[@contactjd]

A transient ischaemic attack, also called a "mini stroke", is a serious condition where the blood supply to your brain is temporarily disrupted.

[@lucigaiah]

Well well how sadly and epically exciting... Being locked again by my mother... in my dad's room... with his precious vinyls collection surrounding me... Magic for sure... Frank Zappa being the head Chef in the room... And Magestic indeed to keep Faith and still work on destroying all the seriously annoying bad spirits around France and this Alsace Countryside ... 🙄 Anyway lucky I figured to be on some starting blocks again... And not dead yet... To Greece this time... Hopefully it will work better than in Costa Rica... And my King will return for sure... So pissed off to feel like this deep loosing bitch in front of my brother... Anyway... I will still miss Ben's show in Europe and concerts... Again... But that's fine. I will attend one in " true and live form" in the coming future, and be part of the family on stage for sure 👸👑💫🍀🦋💜🙏🏼. I've been raised with a lot of Peter Gabriel and all the Realworld crew in my ears... and as an Angie Fox Muse I was almost able to get on the stage on the Zenith of Strasbourg Stage last 13th December 2014 with Peter... So yeah even if I'm getting more closer to oldness than to Neil Young... I keep the Faith high being soon reunited on a beautiful beach with my King ... 🔥🧝🏽‍♀️
