Ben Howard - Hideaway (Kiesza cover)

Ben Howard covers Kiesza's Hideaway in the Live Lounge for Fearne and BBC Radio 1 as part of Even More Music Month.

[@BoornIdentity]

Takes some real skill to convert a dance track to something you can play on guitar, and Ben pulled it off brilliantly. This is what Live Lounge is all about. 10/10.

Brilliantly said

[@annabellelloyd6437]

[@CuriosityCaravan]

Omg I couldn’t agree with you more!

[@markgorman9325]

On every station it would be perfect

[@bigjazno1]

Exactly !

[@Restless5oul]

Why are his covers always so amazing?? I've never heard him do a bad cover

[@Dave31Kid]

silent night?

[@TheRexasaurus]

Cos he thinks about the arrangement carefully and is a proper and real musician! :D awesome!

[@maartensmaling]

Dave31Kid Agree on that.

[@Lisa9274]

HOW TALENTED IS THIS MAN? AMAZING!

[@martinrichardson9018]

[@AtsQuiteFoShu]

Yeah wtf did you just say to him

[@BYEgime]

you thought you liked a song until you heard ben howard's version of it

[@Mathair]

preach

[@skyegrovesmusic]

Absolutely incredible. It's dangerous when Ben Howard covers other artists songs because he always does such a better job. The soul in his voice gives me life

[@HomeworkRadio]

Love coming back to this...

[@michaelcorcoran3942]

Yus!

[@HomeworkRadio]

@@michaelcorcoran3942 I'm back...3 years later 😇

[@MrMrmysteria]

This is absolute gem!

[@BoyandBirchMusic]

BEN HOWARD YOU ARE A MUSICAL GENIUS!!!

[@joehook5533]

He is disgustingly talented

[@colinmcdermott4246]

And Disgustingly underrated

[@KDCindustries]

This is some of the most technical guitar work I've seen in a long time! Fucking crazy. Serious skill to pull off all those natural harmonics, buzz, and specific delay action like this.

[@youtoobfarmer]

The technique is taken directly from John Martyn (look him up playing "I'd Rather Be The Devil" live), and it's not difficult to do once you've dialled in the right tape delay.

[@olivergillman9776]

It's not hard when you know. I'm 14 an I figured it out

[@ChrisFerg10]

+Oliver Gillman did ye, aye?

[@olivergillman9776]

+ChrisFerg22 yeah it took ages though

[@DelScully]

+KDCindustries its actually a really easy song to play just takes lots of practice to get the pattern down! I dont understand how he comes up with this stuff tho? Hes a genius !

[@bbcradio1]

Amazing! But is it better than his cover of Call Me Maybe? Tough call eh?

[@DisastrousChannel]

Dont know it wont play

[@ashlee90432]

Disastrous Channel works now :))

[@Supsup516]

dont think anything will beat that cover! that cover made me like the song

[@Keuriseutii]

I think Figure 8 is his best cover! Jus' sayin'. But everything this man does gives me goosebumps.

[@hcbaby1988]

This destroys call me maybe!

[@aditim8156]

He always does this and it's absolutely brilliant.

[@ChakibTsouli]

Ben is love. Ben is life.

[@TheThreeKings.]

+ Ben is passion. Ben is devotion.

[@emypower6442]

@@TheThreeKings. Ben is a music dream. Ben is the air I breathe.

[@nesniping6378]

Every Kingdom Ben Howard: Jeans and an oversized t-shirt I Forget Where We Were Ben Howard: Fully button buttoned ups and lots of black. With his different of styles of music he's adopted different outfits for them, everything that comes with his music is pure perfection. With that being said, I do hope his next album goes back to that folk feel.

[@WelshGamezz]

NE Sniping I totally agree, I feel more connected to his folk style

[@wilbogdanoff8423]

*_This is literally perfection to my ears!_*

[@TyrantOFynder]

try it on playback 0.75 and it turns into something incredible.TRUST ME. Just listen and see.

[@TyrantOFynder]

try it on 0.75 playback....its incredible.

[@TyrantOFynder]

Do me a favor plse Will will u listen to this song on .75 speed by clicking the gear icon or bars and going in to playback and changing the playback to .75 and listen to the song and tell me what u think i promise u wont regret it......A fellow Ben Howard fan.

[@jacksonpearson124]

Ben Howard is a genius, a brilliant cover. A tough track to pull off. Once again he proves anything is possible! What a guy!

[@TahniJames]

this guy is the lionel messi of acoustic

[@PoVGB]

+TONY 246 looks slightly like messi too, especially when he was younger

[@MadFrogIsMad1995]

+Alex Hazell Not really.

[@streladei7501]

Tahni James haha true story 🔫,he killed

[@gazbentley7389]

So true

[@angelchavez1217]

what the hell are you talking about? this guy cant play for his life! It's all the echoing effect...

[@lennyarcade685]

Sooooo beautiful. He always manages to add a hidden depth to whatever he puts his voice too. A rare talent…..

[@varunverma2513]

He is finally getting the attention he needs. Huge fan here

[@kearress7350]

Ben hates the attention so he definitely does not need it. His songs however deserve it all the more ;)

[@TheRauen94]

I have no words to describe this... Perfection isn't praise enough for this cover...

[@missyneisz8603]

Why am I just finding this beautiful soul.? Absolutely genius....❤❤

[@TechnicJunglist]

2021 still sends shivers through my soul

[@aheartfullofdreams76]

Woah!!! Dance track!!! Take away the dance and add a guitar and life is literally made!!!! So much love for Ben Howard!!!!

[@jakemorrison8507]

Id marry this man!

[@jakemorrison8507]

Nevermind language, where do you come from?!?

[@max-beckett]

This follows the exact same fingerpicking as the fast part of End Of The Affair. I love it!

[@darius3809]

one of the best live lounges ever!

[@jayhyland2533]

I wish people could appreciate more music like Ben Howard ❤️😎

[@leahlu9703]

[@Back2KillU]

His voice is just soothing for my soul, just brings a complete wave off emotions outta nowhere. You my friend are absolute legend.

After turning the creepy song call me maybe to a wonderful one, here's another awesome cover .. KING OF COVERS!

[@PoVGB]

[@madbluntz42069]

Reda Mssalak Johnny cash is the king of covers but Bens the Prince

[@_tgreg1]

Real ones jamming this in ‘21 I see ya 😎

[@djdannyluvmusic]

So genuine and talented, Ben never manages to fail. What I love about his covers is that he really owns the songs, and with his distinctive voice and unique guitar skills he really makes it worth the while.

[@eleo7547]

How can one turn the song one disliked quite a lot into a masterpiece is beyond me🥰

[@NikiNSammy]

YES BEN

[@ellawood1907]

I would absolutely LOVE to collab with you :O

[@ronanohalloran5214]

Zt

[@Angers98]

I can't stop listening to this. Ben Howard slays every live lounge, it's incredible

[@dwayne4viki]

One of the best covers I have heard in the live lounge his voice is so spine tingling

[@Chrisrobbo89]

Honestly....WOW! Heard this in the car. had to pull over, turn the engine off and just embrace this track. Like a brand new song, in my opinion night and day between that and the original. Goosebumps! Well played Ben, top man

[@Fifi0760]

And once again Ben pulls off absolute perfection

[@orphicsplicer5898]

Ben Howard 😍 That voice, that musical ability!! INCREDIBLE, SENSATIONAL.

[@richardj5023]

He defiantly does this song justice. Absolutely awesome.

[@sjoookomeeeeelk]

Goosebumps

[@yana_9935]

yes Ben,you're taking me higher than I've ever been before....

[@JuiceHeadMonkeyy]

This guy is sickkkkkkk. Had the honour of seeing him live, unreal

[@denisebrown789]

Wow. Can't stop listening to this

[@ahojkaro]

You're amazing, Ben. I love you so much and your music!

[@fotograferskan]

unreal how amazing this is

[@mikeyd20425]

The fact that this wouldn't sound out of place on his album goes to show how supremely talented this guy is...

[@nikkimartin1630]

absolutely love this and love Ben Howard could listen to him all day

[@simtaylor4456]

Has anyone pointed out that the guitar from 1:00 to the end is essentially a re-work of End of the Affair? The songs obviously have similar chord patterns. BH covers are perfection.

[@joshuacopperman4048]

Kind of reminds me of Small Things as well, actually.

[@tashkash430]

Small Things is quite similar as well

[@lillianelise160]

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING

[@noscoped1391]

Harmonics always make songs sound the same

[@TheGlasgowGunner]

Well... I'm speechless.

[@118PistolPete]

Mr Howard!!!!! WOW!!! you've done it once more, nothing short of sublime.

[@JohnGlassey]

Love Ben Howard soooo much. Everything he does is perfection.

[@pEAcEgrL81596]

Forgot about this cover till I re heard it in the background of a video yesterday ugh so gorgeous

[@waniljowa]

damn, not only voice but that guitar, he is a genius

[@katzy_1787]

Best live lounge I've ever seen. Ben Howard comes, he sees and he conquers.

[@1979Shady]

thank you amazing musicians for this. I was brought to tears hearing Ben's voice for the first time

[@lilmizbrown5703]

I love how its produced like most of the songs on "I forget where we were"! As if it were one of his own lol

[@AdaylaDefiance]

His covers are incredible.

[@thomaswarne8329]

Loving the signature BH flair added to a dance track. The half capo, alternate tuning, complex picking percussive style as well as all that echo 😍. It's haunting and mysterious. What a talent!

[@kaitlynbyarugaba8322]

every live lounge by ben howard is amazing he can do no wrong 💗

[@gduck5998]

this is much better than the original ❤️

[@masseffect3922]

2019 anyone? Also he's such a good guitarist.

[@louisegriffiths5079]

Seriously theres nothing Ben can do wrong!!! Love this dude so much!!! Most original artist around these days!!! Even keeps his unique sound while doing covers!!!

[@williamcristobal7137]

Why doesn't this have more views!?

[@nev4439]

Can't get enough of this! Playing it on repeat!

[@christineconley9074]

I cant get over how amazing this sounds!!!!

If I had 1/10000th of he's talent I could probably win the X Factor.

[@debbierendle1950]

couldn't have anymore love for this guy! great tune

[@kaleisefacinelli123]

Perfect human being, perfect cover, his nervousness made it more authentic😍

[@max-beckett]

This is absolutely incredible. That fucking fingerpicking though.

[@WesleyHuang]

what kind of fingerstyle is that?

[@_tgreg1]

Bit late reply but pick and go he calls it. Sort of pick bass - high - slap. He uses a lot of delay as well obviously

[@michaelcorcoran3942]

his timing and rythum are really good he plays like a backing track...he has muchos excellent delay. he cappos the 5 strings "a" to high "e" the bass string is tuned down a bit I would imagine. all this combinded with good vocals + reverb creates this dance feel. Its awesome

[@itschrisstime]

BEN IS THE EPITOME OF REAL TALENT. So much class

[@mrmaker92]

And again he has created magic ...

[@veltou]

You do always the best but original kiesza is unmatchable;)

[@Stazza999]

sounds like a bit of small things in there

[@JohnSmith-tz4wx]

Harmonics and echo, so yeah

[@szanH]

Its not just harmonics and echo but also the exact rythym here and there

[@gabberemz]

My thoughts also

[@davidcloutier6771]

Yep.....especially at the 1:00 minute mark, but it is throughout all of it for sure.

[@tonykiernan151292]

Yes similar delay on guitar

[@azaleasy6464]

I really love Ben Howard and is music. He's absolutely amazing.

[@beaneyboi4855]

Big up Ben Howard. Always relevant, forever needed.

[@mathildechristiansen9673]

Sooooo good !!! Better than the original

[@7grijeha]

Hendrix of the pop age! I dont even wanna hear the original version lol!

[@skunksmoker14]

7grijeha well after hearing this version the original is only worth watching for the video.

[@sidart_]

True!

[@hannahnelsen41]

An incredible cover and an INCREDIBLE new album!!!

[@wes3519]

Blown away by how he's made it his own!!! Class!!

[@menemeje8459]

This is better than the original

[@jadeemariee98]

is it bad i prefer this to the original?

[@TherealWottie]

Wow! I loved Ben Howard before but now... Sends shivers up my spine!

[@LeilaGSings]

so I heard this for the first time yesterday evening and now can't stop listening to it. Really interesting arrangement and completely different vibe to the original without losing what maybe kiesza's version great. Ben Howard is amazing.
