Ben Howard Oats In The Water BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge 2012

[@RealxPita]

2024 was born for this song. 😢

[@ryanfreebody6881]

There's rare times when people come together and a masterpiece is developed.

[@KarolinA_Riper]

Not enough words to Express my feelings when listening to this song. This is some kind of universal melancholy, the realization that we come into this world alone and will leave alone. But at the same time, an endless love of life... It is difficult to convey... Thank you for this song!❤️

[@namelessgrace6319]

Wow, perfect way to out it. 💚👏👍

[@rasmussteenrasmussen5980]

Thx... I'll find my own way down...

[@IAMALISON96]

this song was absolutely perfect for hershels scene in the walking dead.. gave me goosebumps. I'm glad i found such a great artist!

[@derg3merpr0fi96]

R.I.P Hershel :(

[@angelnobody7137]

Now rip the actor

[@StripesEmpire]

they did Herschel dirty man...

[@Woozy_Official]

@@StripesEmpire you can’t expect something good from a cruel world

[@xxXCHELLEXXx1]

If Hershel lived to see Beth die it would have destroyed him.

[@AC-by9el]

Who's Herschel?

[@dinogreece]

It doesnt matter who or what brought you here. Its fucking great original music and desserves recognition. Ben Howard is a huge talent.

[@Chazzee23]

If only I could like this twice.

[@istvanlaszlobarta3812]

One of the greatest songs of all time!! 🥰😍

[@missmonster2066]

I have listened to this song a thousand times ❤

[@lisahedman8864]

i love that it sounds just like the original

[@aj1755]

I think this live studio session is possibly better than the album version as you can really feel his emotions in his voice and their playing. I still remember hearing it live on Radio at the time

[@jasonshiers5771]

And you'll find loss. And fear what you've found. The most true lyrics ever.

[@Dermacrosis]

I read an interview where he said one day he will disappear. That will not happen until people stop listening to his music, even years after he stops producing new songs. Still as gut and soul wrenchingly painfully beautiful as when it was released.

[@coreyslecka5415]

This song is straight fuggin magic!!

[@IC1B4U]

For those finding Ben after listening to the track on Walking Dead and hearing him for the first time, another fantastic song of his 'Promise' is worth a search for and featured on an episode of House M.D. This guy's music really is beyond awesome.

[@marquesn77]

Watching House was how I discovered Ben - loved him so much at first listening

[@BLTDFRNT]

You are a beautiful and unique human being, seriously IC

[@beechford6078]

God I love this song so much, can't get enough of it.

[@jamezday]

what a flawless recording

[@CalamityCain]

Heard this song on The Walking Dead, loved it instantly and am currently listening to it many times a day. Definitely gonna keep an eye out for the guy. Amazingly talented. Thumbed up & faved, for sure.

[@Dermacrosis]

Still as gut and soul wrenchingly beautiful as when it ws released.

[@danicalaura5725]

Walking dead season 4 soundtrack was fucking amazing, and this song was the best on it.

[@ste456]

Agreed 100%!!!

[@mzuvukilesingata8033]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT BROUGHT ME HERE

[@inkedskindeep9941]

Danica Laura thats what brought me here aswell. Love this song, the voice...

[@Flinus1000]

TRUE AS FUCK SORRY IM LATE

[@SunnyJim93]

This is brilliant, slightly darker and more emotional but still suitably lovely. Makes me miss early morning surf sessions as well.

[@MarkI808]

I've been hearing this song on the radio and I really started digging it, then I watched the whole first half of Season 4 of Walking Dead last sunday cause I missed it and I was amazed when I heard it on the show....the way they played it in the episode was amazing. RIP HERSHEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tombale6583]

Ben Howard brought me here.

[@Vardaris]

And that is how great music like Ben Howard's breaks the limits of music industry and becomes known, all it takes is internet, one play on a popular show and everyone pays attention, and that will happen because the music is great not greatly advertised

[@Mejk4204]

And by all means, this song really deserves the attention. This artist deserves the attention. So beautiful.

[@LutzTeichmann]

this masterpiece should never end

[@TokyoKazama]

Ben Howard's sound is very unique. Post Rock almost, but with smoky, smooth vocals.

I couldn't believe ben Howard was on the walking dead the other night, he's my favourite artist and hearing him on my favourite tv show. Can I just add how far he has gotten, his music is on one of the most popular American TV show

[@LikeDemDreads]

I love this song. The guitar riff at the end makes me wants to die. Overwhelming writing and performing talent. Also, the bassist looks like Uma Thurman.

[@readytogo52]

+Hannah Banana I think you should think again about loving the things that make you wanna die :P

[@oliviarosexo]

I'm so glad my brother introduced me to his music, and that they used this song on The Walking Dead! :)

[@junglistant1]

Never really heard of this guy until I heard the very start of the song on ep 5, season 4 on the Walking Dead!! Love it!!

[@renndeath]

Holy crap same here! Been such a huge fan ever since!

[@ako9212]

Best version and its live. True talent

[@mollymop3]

I get so lost in this song.....it is beautiful! Thank you Ben!! You are a god of music! xxx

[@justinyelverton]

I had that same smile he had when everyone started to come together. This song resonates within you. Big thanks to TWD for bringing Ben to my attention all those years ago when Herschel was carting out those dead bodies.

[@bonclarke6851]

3 other incredible folk singers I just discovered Matt Corby, Luca Fogale, and Andy Shauf. Look them up!!! So amazing

What a jam, they were all into it, and played so beautifully. "Does it tear at you now?"

The best thing about him is that he sounds the exact same live and recorded, shows his pure talent :) so heartfelt as fell

[@Dermacrosis]

God this song is just so soul wrenchingly (is that even a word?) and painfully beautiful. One of the only occassions where a male singer has actually felt like that to me as it is usally female artists that hit the level of emotion nail on the head.

[@wava2187]

Sound engineers did a cracking job on this!

"Oats In The Water" Go your way, I'll take the long way 'round, I'll find my own way down, As I should. And hold your gaze There's coke in the Midas touch A joke in the way that we rust, And breathe again. And you'll find loss And you'll fear what you found When weather comes Tearing down There'll be oats in the water There'll be birds on the ground There'll be things you never asked her Oh how they tear at you now Go your way, I'll take the long way 'round, I'll find my own way down, As I should. And hold your gaze There's coke in the Midas touch A joke in the way that we rust, And breathe again. And you'll find loss And you'll fear what you found When weather comes Tearing down There'll be oats in the water There'll be birds on the ground There'll be things you never asked her Oh how they tear at you now

This comment doesn't have enough likes. I'm a dj but I dabbled with drums in school. Playing to beat this slowly is a talent unto itself

[@MP-po6fj]

Drummer has the mufflers on and isn't over powering the song at all. Epic version live and sounds better than studio release like. Not many tracks you can say sounds better live.

Considering most music these days have the many different influences from peoples of the U.S., I'd have to argue that. But then its music, irregardless of where it comes from, it's human expression we ought to praise.

@@billy-raycyborg8737 Amercian's are the one who think they're the best at everything, Brits just quietly get on with mastering their craft while the rest of the world thinks we are all past our prime. We aren't preoccupied with shouting about ourselves but don't bet against us.
