Ben Howard - Nica Libres At Dusk

Last year I was extremely sick bedridden for months. In and out of hospitals. I found this song and laying in bed one night It helped me accept the fact that my life was going to come to an early end. It is now almost 2 years later and I'm in my final month of treatment. And hearing this song reminds me of how far I've come since then.❤ what a time to be alive.❤😭

[@athishamiqbal7011]

God bless you, and give you all the strength needed to prologue your life until your mission is over. Whatever that is, and wherever it is... Hope you succeed.

[@Spaccaspecchi]

That is amazing to hear and very inspiring. It makes me realise how insignificant my own problems are in comparison and that I should be glad to 'only' have to take care of those. Which I now will with newfound energy. I hope you're doing even better today!

[@Coldlight42]

This is one of my favourite songs ever because it really captures the feeling I would like to have one day: just pure stillness and calmness, with all the worries being away. I am so tired, and not simply physically exhausted, just tired of living. I've been working my ass off since college with little pay, trying to improve myself in every way I can. In this time I learned foreign languages, became quite good at my job, got some certificates. Some not so good things happened in that time too, as happen to all of us. The world we live in often simply does not give you space for real healing - there is always another thing that requires your attention, that needs to processed quickly, that weighs you down in some way. I'm currently 28 and my main dream would be to just have a time, even just 3 months, when everything would simply stop. A space and time where I could recover, to "sit and count my dollars" as Ben sings, even though I don't have that much of them. To simply stare at the sea... til my eyes have had enough.

[@SSL0808]

I'm really moved by your comment and what you have perceived from the song. I think that you are already doing amazing and that you should be proud of yourself :) To achieve that stillness and calmness in the song, one must answer the question: what is the meaning of life? If you are moving towards that goal every day, you'll feel content every day. All the best to you!

[@CapnAwesome94]

Bro. This resonates with me so fully. Keep your head up twin.

[@stefaanvereecke8319]

Keep going man, you'll get there one small goal at the time step by step, take care all of you, no words for Ben's music. 🍀

[@codevilla]

well... first of all, sorry for my english. this is one of my favourite songs from this album too. and every time I listen to it, touches me in a different way. about your feeling, can quote another Howard's favourite: keep your head up, keep your heart strong. cheers from brazil!

[@CoastlineKings]

Ben's music was the soundtrack through my adolescence, my first love and my first heartbreak. The time it's taken Ben to come back with a new album is the same time it's taken me to get over all my emotions holding me back from life. I'm certain Mr Howard's new album will be the soundtrack of a great summer to come and will hold a huge place in my heart forever as his previous records have. Welcome back old friend.

[@electricviolet1047]

Coastline Kings youve taken the words right out of my mouth. Thats why i have such a strong relationship with his music.

[@marcmatabadenas2166]

I am the same age as Ben, and I feel exactly like you say. EVery Kigdom I was in love in along term relationship, we broke up in summer 2014 around the time when IFWWW came out, 2014 - 2016 worse years of my entire life, and now finally I am feeling really good with Noon day dream, it's like I had somehow a similar emotional journey.

[@josebetancourt3443]

Hang in there! When life kicks us down, we got no choice but to get back up. Giving up is not an option! 🙂 keep your head up man. I’ve been through heart breaks and Ben Howard’s music has always helped me through hard times ✌️ much love!!!

[@ec4020]

@@foundsainpalaceentertainme8943 "dusk" is when the sun has gone down but it is still light outside. So cigars at dusk. He writes his songs in metaphors usually so you can interpret it your own way. I actually just looked it up and perhaps he is referring to a cocktail from Cuba, Carribean called a Nica Libre, so really many parts of the song mean different things to different people.

[@clemencerossi8994]

I’m amazed how Ben Howard works with atmospheres, his ability of recreating a feeling. This music video is by far my favorite among all the videos I’ve seen on KZbin because it’s perfection. This song has a very particular light, we can hear the light and feel the atmosphere just by listening to it and the video is completely in the same mood. I’ve been next to where it was shot and it’s exactly how it feels like.

[@finnie2711]

I will go there one day and walk and feel the moment!

[@joshualeft]

This song honestly just sends you floating away. So chill and really captures the essence of a Noonday dream. Such a magical song and is such a great opener to the album! The video really shows us you enjoying some well deserved time off and I really love its ambiguity. So glad you are back pard I have been dreaming of this for years. Murmurations is also one of the most beautiful songs you've release it really complements the album entirely. I would love to see an acoustic session of A boat as the guitar is just insane. I'm loving you and Mickey flowing off each other, you's are really creating some impressive pieces of music. The strongest part of this album is that it really focusses on the music more than anything else. I wouldn't except anything less from you and the band as this album is complete class served up with beautiful composition.

[@SaartjeandRufus]

I was walking the West Highland Way in Scotland in summer 2018 on my own. It was day 5 and I got up early to proceed with the hike. It came to a moment that I was walking through a pine forest near Loch Lomond completely alone. Streams of sunlight fell through the branches of the pines and there was nice smell of early morning mountain dew. The whole trip I did not listen to music because I wanted to listen to the beautiful sound of the birds but for this song I made an exception that day and I listened to this song while walking through this forest and you can guess it: it was a truly magical experience. Thanks Ben Howard for your gift.

[@KieranSamuel]

To me this symbolises ground hog day, repetition, same environments and the same mind-sets. The longer he walks that road the more he wants change. Eventually through determination, hardship and pushing on, he reaches the destination. He can finally appreciate what he has, relax, whilst also being grateful for the past as it showed him the way. This is the beauty of existence, if you understand life is a journey of lessons. I love Ben as an artist as he leaves the door open for interpretation and always manages to get an emotional reaction.
