[@madamredbush]

Ben Howard is the most underrated musician/songwriter of our time. He is a beast on the guitar and his lyrics pierce right through the soul. I can't get enough. It's so great to see the passion when he performs. I wish I could in person, but Phoenix, AZ isn't on his tour schedule this time. "I know she's home leaning on somebody loathing life"... No shit. I would be too if I broke his heart.

[@catalinayeah]

Stephanie Wallace Asaf Avidan is more underrated :)

[@harleyg6341]

I agree

[@MrBAILIES]

Stephanie Wallace try John butler-ocean. Guy shows so much passion when playing

[@yeyehastaol2155]

Loathing light?

[@AdamKrukowski]

how is he underrated?

[@TheChuckers123]

As a guitarist I’m literally dumbfounded... he’s a genius. He’s not even playing cords.

[@lil.kbbl.radio.]

All the best ones do things differently!

[@moirarts]

I'm not a guirast, so I don't understand "no chords". Am trying.

[@antoineklum9079]

Dies denke ich nicht von Sodonougou Yves. Signé Klein Tom Servais Antoine

[@jaywillson4309]

He's found the formula to make the guitar his bitch😂😂

[@vivanesca]

HOW can he be even better live?!?!?!

[@aryankharbuja2290]

because he doesn't rely on autotune

[@tylercron5971]

Hes amazing live. Extremely humble. Slight humor. Hes gucking godly

[@SandyNoblitt75]

@@tylercron5971 I would love to see him live.

[@bekahrodrigue6440]

yewon uhhh.... A lot of real artist are much better live

[@taebby78]

for me, this song explains anxiety perfectly and so poetically.

[@sanja.4805]

This song puts me in some sort of suspense. Not here or there. Never felt anything similar to any other piece of music. And hasn’t changed after years of knowing this song. A bit of magic… 🖤

[@vancouverexplorer3993]

The future belongs to the majestic Ben Howard! He is so damn intelligent...

[@loriens7598]

It’s not you, it’s the world

[@KillianRuffley456]

He seems to reach another level emotionally when he sings. I cant help but go numb when I listen to him, he captures dark emotions in particular, really well. Fantastic.

[@SandyNoblitt75]

It really does touch you

[@madisonolinger7515]

The only thing more incredible than his talent is his hair.

[@MHM21999]

+Madison Olinger :3

+Madison Olinger which changes every 5 seconds, reveiling that its a multiple take recording. An incredible one, though

[@nightwatch5513]

+Madison Olinger My thoughts exactly :D

[@thomasgray9600]

one camera needs a few goes to get all those angles ahhaa

[@jillesoom3305]

maybe they just did that for the different angles, because the the audio doesnt seem to be edited?

[@trevorbsmith716]

Man. He really rips it on that guitar... gives me chills when he really starts goin to town on it. That voice is so powerful too ❤

[@gracie4623]

His voice and guitar harmonize so beautifully it's astonishing

[@rarahbobe]

ben howard just gets better and better. can't begin to explain the impact his music has had on me

[@todddavis240]

rarahbobe me too.....peace and love

[@Cheekyplinky]

Yea, many would usually have a mediocre second album. Both albums are different so I'd say they're both equally very good.

[@todddavis240]

I'm old and followed Stings growth when I was a kid and now follow Ben, he is actually growing faster as an artist than Sting...Been following Ben since 08' he has really grown as an artist...I am one of his best non-paid supporters....peace1love

[@iMertin]

The guys different class. Changed my life too big impact

[@EUHideYoWife]

I couldn't agree more.... Every single song takes my breath away and that's not an exaggeration either. He's made me pick up my guitar and go from not being able to play much of anything to being able to play (and sing) gracious in a matter of weeks :)

[@oldbenone77]

Benny boy is a fierce guitar wizard.

[@NRshubham]

This song is such a mood in 2020 after how things have been

[@JoeMama-kc9lv]

Definitely got the world's kaleidoscope inside my head.

[@Casquillo8520]

ye

[@tony5106]

If you play guitar you know how insane this is.

[@mebularnebular]

+Mark O'Brien Definitely right. He is using a delay pedal which adds that reverb but his speed is amazing and the fact that he can sing WHILE he plays it is what astounds me.

[@jacobgomez_]

+To Ny exactly. his brilliance drives and influences the way i play guitar/songwrite now. incorporating triplet delays to my acoustic is INGENIOUS.

[@catrinapaterson1025]

Jacob Gomez possibly the gayest thing I've seen ever in the history of video comments😂

[@8o8is]

[@mex5341]

masterpiece for ever

[@Fuzigish8]

Time for a new album!

[@ermagerd65]

Ross Cairns PLEASE YES

[@sacapuntas4466]

coming very soon hopefully

[@PerturbedPeacock]

His guitar playing is as mesmerizing as his voice.

[@SandyNoblitt75]

Yes!

[@HeikeHartgrove]

Once in a while you hear this one song that captures you from the very first note. This one did it for me. It's been playing on repeat for months!

[@ArniLochner]

I wonder how many takes this was. His hair changes in almost every cut! Unbelievable performance(s) regardless. Maybe the best live version of this song.

[@asoz246]

Besides the a-ma-zing performance, I just wanted to point out that his hair looks fucking great

[@jimmyanderson1966]

It’s the small things in life

[@emcalvert8738]

This is a gem among all the garbage that's out there. Absolutely beautiful in it's execution. So deep

[@moirarts]

Michael Hedges was my guitar god, rest in power, Michael. Then life blessed me with Ben's poetic genius. Thank you, Master Howard.

[@carsenreid]

so lucky i happened to see your sweet comment, and delighted you found the connection between Michael and Ben that's not spoken of enough

[@moirarts]

@@carsenreid Ben doesn't seem to tour the USA, though the Northeast/New England and North West Pacific areas could be worth the trouble. I didn't know Ben was navigating the heart/health matters. Ironic, as his lyrics are devoted to the love line that infuses, and complicates, life.

[@ElohaMusic]

Sheer genius! No other words!!!!

[@christinamaria36DKQ]

Amazing. love it

[@motherofmoo1]

Love this man. I know people will think WTF but i can hear Tracey Chapman in his voice at parts when he sings.. i know... completely different.. but i hear it. Not in a negative way at all either. Amazing talent this guy has. Big fan.

[@PazARoman]

I totally agree, def some Tracy in his voice

[@Beemur2011]

This man is pure genius. All of his songs need choreographed immediately.

how I love this song

[@mennomeijer9055]

2024 and still chilling performance

[@Sophie_Nambram]

I'm new to Ben Howard's music. Few days ago "End of the Affair" BBC live appeared on my KZbin recommendation list and I'm so glad I didn't ignore it. That performance made me fall in love with his music. Since then I've been checking out all of his studio albums, EPs & live concerts, to my amazement, I haven't found any song/performance that isn't beautiful. And how come all of his live performances are so much better than the studio ones. I truly adore his artistry!

[@markwinters5408]

Thats exactly how iv just discovered him..thankyou YT..hes a gift to all music lovers..hes so captivating...love him...End of the affair is just goosebump music..incredible

Kaleidoscopic. ..Thanks that helps.

I can't get enough of his music, he possesses so much talent. His voice mixed with the music is so powerful although there is a certain restraint. It reminds me of the sounds of the ocean in the distance. So strong yet soothing at the same time.

I was wondering the same ! But firstly I was like .." hey dude there's something really I mean reeally wrong with your guitar..". Then I just got lost in this world he created. And I totally get where these feelings comes from that inspired him.

[@eatingmachine1885]

Oh my mind! I walk down Mayflower Road again The wailing sun Echoes from the park seem so absurd The bus takes hours I knew it would But I can't shake the sting Can't spend my time On everybody else If buildings fell At least we'd be in matrimony I can't control The words kaleidoscope inside my head Has the world gone mad Or is it me? All these small things they gather round me Gather round me Is it all so very bad? I can't see All these small things they gather round me Gather round me I saw the police Screaming something trivial Like 'keep the peace!' The world moves on and you can't shake the sound I know she's home Waiting on somebody Loathe in light All in my mind The anvil and the weight upon my back Has the world gone mad Or is it me? All these small things they gather round me Gather round me Is it all so very bad? I can't see All these small things they gather round me Gather round me And I can't see my love

"The more attention I got the less I wanted." Ben Howard-2014 He's a very shy performer, I think. He doesn't talk much on his concerts, and he just goes up there and puts everybody in a trance. His music is made to be felt in my opinion.
