Ben Howard - Keiko - Berlin - 19.06.2013

[@Lingkxs.83]

Never understood why this song was never released on any of his albums. This might be the best song he made, and I think that says a lot.

[@jacoblukinuk9369]

It's crazy to think that he probably has so many other songs like this written that he just doesn't play for various reasons.

[@fromtheday9461]

just to let everyone know, we have found the studio recording of this wonderful song. it’s been 9 years friends and we found it !!!

[@multi9jokker]

yessss! love you for that info

Okay. How the hell is he making a live song sound like some heavily-produced, amazing track with just a guitar?! This defies nature in the best way possible...

Who's listening in 2024? ❤

[@polarbeareatsnut]

I'm so scared that someone is going to delete this video one day..... I need this song in my life

[@Barduk793]

Keiko I see you, alive in my dreams. The outsider amongst us, the plague in between. Keiko the world is a beautiful thing, I don’t always adore it but I know what it means to feel love. Keiko I see you, alive in my dreams. The outsider amongst us, the plague in between. Keiko did the good lord tell you what it means, All of us here, all of us waiting on you. Did you watch the sun when it came flying over the hillside, Did you think of home when they buried your old man. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, some kind of forest fire. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, sun to rise, yeah. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, invincible somewhere I know. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, sun to rise, yeah. Keiko I see you, alive in my dreams. The outsider amongst us, the plague in between. Keiko the world is a beautiful thing, I don’t always adore it but I know what it means to feel love. Did you watch the sun when it came flying over the hillside, Did you think of home when they buried your old man, Did you watch the violence, come creaping up inside you, Did you wash the world so clean from your hands. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, some kind of forest fire. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, sun to rise, yeah. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, some kind of forest fire. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, sun to rise, yeah. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, some kind of forest fire. Waiting, waiting, waiting, on, sun to rise, yeah.

I remember you and all of your fury, saying it will be fine. I remember you and all of your fury, saying it will be fine. I remember you.

[@TheLelle1994]

Ben is my favourite musician for years already but I still keep accidentally finding new songs of him. And every single one is better than all the ones I have known before. How can that even be possible?! I hope to see him perform live one day!

[@xthefriendsx]

Tears me out every time ! No matter who is reading this, keep going my friend. You gonna make it

[@ldawningentertainment9904]

you can see the emotions and the pain in his face, when he finishes the song. He tries to hide but you can see what this song means to him.

[@octavianbarbu7733]

Anyone listening in 2019?!

This shit is just too fucking good. Too bad we dont got a studio version

[@alanclayton8480]

This song has never been published on any of his albums. Or even released. Why its class 💯💯

[@kathyxxk]

This is by far, one of my absolute favorite tracks. It gets me every time and I can listen to it on a daily basis. Ben, thank YOU for being so wonderful x

[@kell2640]

Shtil the best version

[@Richiethegardener]

Gosh there’s no high quality of this song and I need it for my lonely trips 🥺😭😭

[@noahmcdx1]

Still best song Ben’s ever written and he never released it

[@moonlightransom]

used to this to listen on loop in comm tech class while editing photos for an hour straight, will always be a timeless classic. 9 years of listening, love

[@orhunkaras7435]

Ben please just go to studio and record it cause I am tired to open youtube for it almost every week last five years.

[@nesniping6378]

I thought I had heard every recorded performance of his ever made and then I found this. Glad I found it but it makes me worry that I still haven't seen all of his stuff.

[@bochrael-jed8270]

You should check it out! He has plenty of covers and hidden tracks that are simply amazing !!!

Thank you! Third different video and best audio of this! Must be the "buzz" now finally about Ben Howard. Ben is so good, he can sell out and we all will be fine. Please spread the word about Ben Howard so he will play a venue near me! And you! Peace&Love

[@barbarajunedalton4516]

His music is beautiful ! Soooo talented !

[@cheymcloughlin6366]

Love how he makes one accoustic guitar sound like a studio full of instruments. He's not the only artist who plays like this but I haven't heard someone do it better than Ben.

2024 quelqu'un ???🎉❤

[@chanakrevsky5584]

This is just perfect!

[@rwb_gary6355]

Gorgeous song, great performance!

[@ConorRussell23]

Amazing as usual

[@coffinraider1]

@Duncan Graham their was an article floating around that he may have had a girlfriend who took her life and this song is possible about her ? along with other songs especially falltoan woods, the opening to keiko definitely supports this i think

[@Potteristi]

Love this!!

[@checker92]

so, does anyone know why this master piece was never recorded? I was hoping to find it on the new record, which i think is wondeful, but Keiko is missing...

[@colakeks1]

He said once, that recording the tapping songs is not so easy and sounds awful - maybe that's the reason...

[@K0Y0L0E0C0U0L0L0E0N]

Ben told someone thay he had a pretty good studio version of Keiko recorded already :(

[@Xheasor]

Kyle Cullen he needs to record it!! its awesome

[@DelScully]

Super late reply, but I know he leaves out a lot of songs that are too personal!

keiko was also the name of the orca that played free willy... but I think ben was going for the japanese meaning ;)

[@xSyze]

whats the meaning ?

[@MsLina625]

xSyze google says lucky / blessed child, respectful child :)

[@JuelZ925]

dbacon272able yes think of the song 'gracious' and 'keep your head up'. it is possible?

has he changed the lyrics? in this version he says "some kind of forest fire", but in other versions i hear, "to see my father"...

its about his old girlfriend, i heard.. can relate to this cus been trough the same thing in my family

[@pleasehurryup100]

Keiko- Japanese for lucky or blessed child

[@TheBiscotty]

Keiko can mean bless child ;)

[@colakeks1]

if you mean the tape - he broke a bone in his hand in April

[@ericsirvid3894]

is that just tape on his left hand? does anybody know if it serves any purpose as far as creating a special sound?

[@colakeks1]

Eric Sirvid Ben had a broken hand that year

[@noahmcdx1]

anyone know what that thing he sticks on the guitar is around 0:40

[@TurtleWithAnM16]

It's sound-hole block, you put it in the sound-hole to reduce feedback when you play on stage

[@Narukai12]

Frederik Thougaard Jørgensen so it doesn't feedback too loud and start blaring. i think like u kno when you slap a mic and its starts blaring

[@louisegriffiths5079]

Does anyone know if this is about Keiko the orca?

[@louisegriffiths5079]

It'd make a lot of sense, since Ben is a lover of the ocean and it also makes sense in relation to kiekos story

[@jeemchucho3016]

With what the lyrics mention; it's hard to believe it's about an Orca. Simply just doesn't fit... Sorry!

[@louisegriffiths5079]

+jeem chucho it does actually if you read up on kiekos story.

[@dominikmay6940]

actually he did break his hand

[@JuelZ925]

why is he using tape?

[@lolofaant25]

what's up with his hand? Is that normal for that kind of playing the guitar? :D Sorry, I don't know anything about that ^^

[@alexcraig6577]

This reply may be 6 years late but at least you get to see this video again! Ben had broken a bone in his hand while surfing, he taped it during live shows for a few months after to provide some support for the healing bones!

Keiko is a japanese name for girls.

Hahaha he didnt break his hand. Look up on some professional guitarists. they wear tape aswell and I seriously doubt they all have broken hands.
