I think Ben just simultaneously depressed and mesmerized an entire audience.

[@Jackson-hw3en]

I’m writing this for my future heartbroken self. I know I’ll find myself in the comments of this video again one day. I hope not but I’m prepared for the worst. Remember when Evvie and you broke up? Or Mimi? Remember how bad you felt for a couple days/weeks/months? Remember how it all got better? Your new situation isn’t any different. You’ll have to sit in that pain for a minute I know it hurts so bad but it’s part of the process. Don’t drink or drug the sorrows away it only helps temporarily. Be the man your mom,dad,grandma would be proud of. You got this jay 💪🏼

[@bobsmith3291]

Yes Jay!

[@sigmapopsical272]

The drummer is the purest expression of what music was always intended to be in the first place.

Kyle Keegan baby!

[@danielpotter6067]

You mean he's decent?

[@sigmapopsical272]

@@danielpotter6067 yeah, he's good But I'm referring to his passion, the way he is reacting to the music

[@NormJablonsky]

Kyle is the man. Him going all in during the start of the climax is my favorite part of the video

[@tanner6538]

This is the only “celebrity” I’ve ever met. I was in the lobby at Radio City Music Hall and did a double take after seeing someone’s face. I then realized it was the drummer I’d seen in one of these live Ben Howard videos. Talked with him. He was nice. That’s the whole story.

[@thra-x1855]

kudos to the drummer - not only is he damn good at his job but he looks like he loves it too.

[@mr.o523]

Kyle Keegan!!

[@ledup001]

no words. I'm just speechless. This guy is one of the best artist i know, everything he does gets me to a whole new level

[@Mindofadirector]

+Eldu P Well, Ben could seriously be 'the best artist' this generation have ever seen! I'm not kidding, such a talent wow! Only his music can make these emotions come to live. I'm blessed that I was one of his first ever fan :)

[@eliguaso22]

+PlayThisYT he said better artista... Geez

[@tonychurchill8183]

PlayThisYT I dunno bro paolo nutini the closest but I agree with the lad he gotta be one of the best I mean ed sheeran decent but to main stream for me if I could say one thing we could do with a bit more upbeat stuff ,, keep your head up is a amazing song if there's any how something like it could be made to exist could do no harm to the world

[@KingColliwog]

I don't think he said he was the best guitarist. Technical skills are no important if they are not just tool to make more powerful/emotional music. Best artist is of course highly subjective, but for me he certainly is the best. Not a single band/artist can just give me these kind of emotions

[@Mamba4.8]

Check out Damien Rice.

[@ItMeansSun]

the fury behind this song gets me every time

[@daenopher]

Well said, my friend!

[@Mark08138642]

I was literally just thinking this its kinda chaotic at the end but quite not slow but like a quiet stream, and builds to a raging river by the end, it always feel like quite a bit like a representation of when something happens in life and you go for some tranquil beauty out and it is taken from you and you wander why and the song is sort a way that artist is processing what has happened....it has been really been speaking to me recently!!

Could this be the greatest live performance of any song ever?

[@Divert486]

I find the sound engineer completely shat the bed on that one, the instruments balancing is horrendous

its not even the greatest live performance of this song

[@martinbarnett471]

Stumbled across this amazingly talented guy recently. I've been a Bob Dylan fan for over 50 years and it's so refreshing to find artists like Ben who will carry on the tradition of writing such powerful lyrics. My children and grand children are surely in good hands. Keep it up Ben

[@foxdaughter36]

I don't know why but this song just won't let me go. It's in my head. In my heart. I cannot understand how do you move on from love, how do you even start to do that. How do you cope with losing "us" and becoming just "me" when all you wish for is one more time together, one more chance, a silly joke, or a lazy sunday afternoon in bed together planning that amazing future that will never happen. Heartbreaking, really. But damn - Ben sings about it so beautifully that you almost want your heart to be broken just to relate to this masterpiece. Thank you Ben for being you and doing what you do.

[@danielbutler3150]

It truly is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. In time that feeling of losing the one you love develops into life itself, it no longer becomes about the person you lost, they become a distant memory. Your mind and body work together to become stronger, you build and grow and are conditioned. The pain of heartache is a deep one, but what grows from it is so much better

[@THEJAYMAN212]

It feels like there is a hole in my chest I am alone once again.

[@lionsandmoon]

@@danielbutler3150 It's not, though. Not even after 25 years. Depends on the person and the circumstances, granted.

[@tconners1758]

Time. Time is the only healer, stay strong, stay busy, mourn however you want, cry, get drunk, look at old photos what ever it takes to see you through to another day, it's a rough sea but, eventually the feelings will pass. They won't be gone, they just won't be as strong. Time. Time is the only thing. Accept that and it'll make the suffering easier knowing that at some point it's coming to an end. Just don't WASTE your precious life in mourning. Do it, but don't do it destructively. 🖤 It's all part of your story, an end of one thing is the start of another. You miss the emotion, and honestly, while it may never seem like it, you'll get that emotion with another physical presence, another person. It will happen. As Ben Howards says, keep ya head up.

[@Dean-xh4gu]

The guitar solo is everything live music was made for. Sensational

[@aepaige4240]

I feel like BH is some kind of complex genius phenomenon functioning on a level beyond most of us, but creating masterpieces that make your soul thrash around and intensely crave to reach him. I'm not good enough with words to explain what it is that this album evokes but it's fking intense and fires up every time I come back to I Forget Where We Were. It's one of those albums you listen all the way through like you'd read a book and keeps you totally absorbed and focused on every beat and lyric, to leave you feeling kind of 'far away' after.

[@mikemccue8698]

No doubt. I can tell exactly every feeling you just expressed. An absolute genius

[@helmie6619]

That drummer REALLY got into it in the last minute of the track! Applause!

[@laurencezemlick1979]

To the fellas: give it time, you’ll get over her. Cutting contact forever is the first step. I’m sorry, but it has to be done and you know it. It will get better, but you can’t ever see or speak to her again. Quit your job. Move away. Change schools. Whatever it takes. You’ll stop seeing her. Then you’ll stop talking about her. Then you’ll stop thinking about her. Then, at long last, you’ll stop loving her. Then, years later, you’ll come back to this song and it won’t hurt anymore to listen to it. You’ll just have a memory of a person who you used to love and is now a stranger.

[@plantdesigns7889]

So true. I haven't talked to her in 3 years. I can still perfectly see her eyes, that infectious smile, and the way her lips would slightly turn up as if she was going to grin while she was day dreaming about something. But it finally doesn't hurt if I talk about her. The song that got to me the most about her was 3 libras by A Perfect Circle.
