Ben Howard - Cloud Nine

Ben performs 'Cloud Nine' to a sell out crowd in Bath, part of his Old Pine tour.

[@Dan-pd4gl]

How much can one man touch others with the songs he writes.....this is actually one of the most amazing songs I've heard, and the performance it goes far deeper than the surface. Thank you Ben, for baring your soul and not being afraid to be seen. Respect for the way you connect

[@PogLordChamp]

Please take me back to the summer of 2014 when life was good

[@beatriceborso9844]

i have him in my headphones every morning

[@elliexharris]

I swear to god the person at the start of the video says something like ''his guitars a bit out of tune'' he uses such an irregular tuning, so yeah it probably is a bit out of tune to what they're used to haha, but it's magical, he has such a rare sound and it's just raw talent. I love everything about this man, absolutely everything. He's perfect and is such an inspiration.

[@michelle389ify]

Plays In Capo, so fucking difficult

[@thefirstmanonthemoon6332]

how could you hear that , omg jjaja

[@JohnTolliver1]

you're an inspiration to me daily.. I saw you a few years ago at an open mic on my first visit to East Putney , and I have followed your music ever since... I can honestly say it has saved my life at times and I just want to thank you.. I wish I could truly share with you my gratitude

[@AngelPerez-dw8ou]

Do you still listen to him?

[@Hhannnahh]

I feel this comment 💜 almost snuck by train to NY to see him play when I was young, chickened out in the end. If I could go back!

[@sockondebeats5154]

Love it when he yells,

[@nesniping6378]

nobody Flagg his yelling voice when he sings is honestly better than 90% of artists normal voices, even when his voice cracks it still sounds good. this guy is gifted

[@jellyb0n]

Every time I listen to this song it sends shivers down my spine...

[@presidentjbr]

Those people are crazy to be talking during this! This is insanely amazing.

[@sherrynewington1120]

so envious of his talent and his ability to put his heart and soul into music. Id give up the talents I do have to be able to do this.

[@9ner]

this guy is a song writing genius. Nothing by melancholic beauty flowing out of his brain.

[@nand3kudasai]

how can a person speak while ben is playing? i couldn't, i'll be simply speachless.

[@michelle389ify]

The feeling of being in church...so spiritual, not religious. The soul dances naked and bare in his emotional energy.

[@tantanlegoman16]

His band is really amazing too.

[@michelle389ify]

Such an under rated, undiscovered, unknown artist. Hes just raw, pure, emotional talent.

[@emersonsimmo90]

Hardly unknown he’s had number ones etc and a Brit award but he should be bigger than he is, he just doesn’t want that sort of fame

[@09eudi]

Underrated? Unknown? Not sure about it...

[@SuperEloha]

This song touches my heart and makes my cry.....it is so beautiful and full of love

[@hoperodriguez6883]

Its a raw,beautiful,simplicity that you feel when hearing this. Thats the powerfullest simplicity of all. Thanks Ben.

[@ClassicallyWillis]

I love this guys music so much, and I love the way he plays his guitar :) he is such a unique person! Thank you so much for sharing your gift of music.

[@sureshotsim]

Chills every time.

[@musicofthe2ndfinest440]

Beyond the opportunities of playing a guitar. Creativity!

[@DDjemil]

Much love for this guys incredible guitar skills and voice :)

[@DanJamesMusic]

we need more artists like this!!!!

[@rspencex]

loosen the fears that bind you

[@arthurfarrand1737]

Good god is this good.

[@Anjuli9872]

If I could here anyone playing at a cafe it would be him. His lyrics, voice, talent amaze me.

[@Watchingyou1010]

Ben is a God amongst simple Men. Heavenly music

[@Ian8sg]

my favourite song

[@MashaKorz]

3 weeks later still no dislikes! Faith in humanity is growing!

[@ukeattitude]

Oh yesss so nice, I like it. Thanks for this video, I never tire of listening !

[@Anjuli9872]

I want to see him live so badly!!

[@carmenscrat]

[@Hosnapzbuu03]

Man his lives are always just amazing he must come to hawaii!

[@LiliaLil07]

[@JNzioka]

[@ArjanLoeve]

so awsome!!!

[@rspencex]

seems tae me it all worked out so differently, funny how distance & time no they don't change at all.....

[@KHMu51C5]

wonderful!

[@RyanSteinolfson]

Amazing

[@sherrynewington1120]

seriously why is Ben holding out on us?! i have found so many songs that are not on his newest CD. i am so sad i cannot find these others...

[@gretamaurice770]

Shadows on the water from a memory, in times and sight and the last time I saw you happier then not seein' you, not seein' you in a long while..

[@NoemiK]

Loosen the fears that bind you

[@AlTheNamesWereTaken]

It's a left handed guitar?

[@MrCampollo]

0 dislikes, faith in humanity restored

[@Padraic-uq3sh]

what a disrespectful audience that keeps chatting although he already started playing

[@jacobgomez_]

+Pádraic1998 That's how most pub performances end up. I used to feel insecurity rush over me because of it, but you start to become immune to it after a while

[@Mindofadirector]

2:53 My Arms Are Open Wide For You

[@bumhead112]

hey this video is amazing! what camera do you use? the qualitys amazing.

[@jessicac.j]

I want to see him so bad live

[@MrMIXTV]

its a song he wrote about his sister, bet he sounds unreal live

[@chain49]

real music..

[@clairekelly8635]

Not the Half Moon pub by any chance? 2008?

[@9ner]

my babyyyyy

[@DjHavikOfficial]

They aren't irregular tunings, just open. Basically a big chord voicing. Strings tend to go out of tune but he'll tune it to the capo.

[@eliguaso22]

Jake France what you talking about? I know is a year later, but can you explain?

[@patrickvarley3103]

He generally plays in Open C, which when strummed plays the chord C. Then just puts the Capo on and retunes to adjusts accordingly.

[@tyleredwards3501]

someone please tell me what this song is about?

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

Don't know, but he wrote it for his sister, who is also India Bourne's best friend. All 3 grew up together.

[@moore663]

tuning for this song?

[@ireaallylikethisname]

I agree with bumhead this is brilliant!!!

[@natalyampc]

I'm pretty sure it's: Shadows on the water From a memory that turns inside From the last time I saw you happier Than I'd seen you, than I'd seen you in a long while. ...But then I looked up the lyrics to be sure and they all seem to be different :/

[@laurenfitton2848]

Jesus Christ! God was having a good day when he made him!

[@copter16]

wow.

[@MrZachtheRocker]

No worries. As a lefty, if he wanted to play a right handed guitar, he'd have to restring the guitar the opposite way, which he probably has before. And he can't just pick up any guitar and play because most all are right handed. The interview wasn't wrong, but it probably wasn't as descriptive as it could have been.

[@luispato9335]

very nice! =)

[@samjamaraminyournan5139]

How the fuck did i not know that ben howard had played at moles?!?!

[@stephenbrearley691]

Where is this? :)

[@meeroar]

clever one

[@Max-ek3tt]

2:23 gave me a mini heart attack

[@rspencex]

May I find you, may we sit together when we're grey and old on cloud 9

[@noahmcdx1]

can anyone name those pedals at 0:25?

[@DCFreakable]

2x boss tuners (for different guitars eventually) and and a boss ds2 or a boss df2. Maybe these 2 purple boxes are DI-Boxes for his acoustic guitars, but I'm not really sure about that.

[@bers9669]

carl

[@leei94]

xMelloN yes?

[@Adam-yz6ih]

I'm three years late to this post but - the orange one is a Boss Super Chorus/Sustainer as I have one of those. He definitely doesn't use this anymore though. He's a Strymon man now!

[@ilenestonemusic]

@9ner haha you're so right

[@brian_mccomedy]

Soooo you actually think no company has ever built a left-handed guitar?

[@TheUkeManiac]

0 dislikes :) haters off their game :D

[@jitobara2492]

Glenn Sturgis would be proud

[@MrZachtheRocker]

No, that's a left handed guitar with some tape on the top bout.

[@comatoast5610]

17 people don't like their sisters...

[@vivanesca]

hmmmhmmm...

[@reeshingwithkaryn]

nope it's just you bud

[@tarcalion]

the audio quality or sound system he plays here isn't that good... THat might be it. Watch some other live shows, he's actually quite articulate. And I bet the exageration of the pronunciation would come at a loss musically

[@Rory99M]

This sounds like a goo goo dolls song, black balloon maybe...

[@Nimp78]

I wish people in the background would stop talking...you don't talk while he is playing.

[@bananasgurl]

Okay great voice lovely tone and brill song etc... but does anyone else want him to have some better diction... WTF is he saying half the time?

[@leei94]

Lucy Timson please get out

[@jakekyle9933]

Fuck off

[@imaginaryworld5298]

Is that a joke?

[@thepoetsexpression4968]

India is baadd
