Ben Howard - The Fear

[@Cat-ch6oj]

Ben Howard is the kind of artist you still want on CD these days

[@kevinlarson9111]

8 Track or cassette

[@alexiscraft7877]

If you don’t still make mixed CDs then what is there

[@alishacassidy7612]

Agreed

[@bwallace936]

I am most appreciative of this statement. And believe you me I do.

[@forthehomies7043]

Sunny day, open road and you pop the CD in and the vibes commence...

[@melissadd7597]

As a recovering alcoholic who suffered for years, I know now what I THINK I deserve becomes my reality. Think you deserve more, the very best! Because you do.

[@jordanmntungwa3311]

Ben Howard- getting me through exams since high school and now getting me through my Honours degree. . I will become what I deserve

[@nishkaarora6343]

Fear means two things: Forget everything and run or Face everything and rise. The choice is entirely up to you.

[@lakhvinderb]

Never thought of it that way. You have a choice, nice one.

[@dannyrose6231]

Fear does not mean two things , that's you're perspective and a narrow one at that, For Everyman A Religion. For Everything A Reason. Fallen Empires Are Ruling. Fantastic Expectations Amazing Revelations. Final Execution And Resurrection. Free Expression As Revolution.

This is my.. Fight Song! It never gets old! My son played it to me while I was going through chemo.. It speaks to your soul.. gets inside the crevices and fills you with sadness for what was.. BUT.. Hope for what will be.. The evil little rogue cells that invaded my body sure know how to root you in.. The confines of fear! I say.. Screw you cancer.. I WILL become what I deserve..

Hey, you there! 😊 I'm just passing by to tell you that you don't need to worry. You don't need to worry about anything, it'll be fine. Your life will be beautiful. Even if it doesn't go the way you'd like it to, it'll be amazing. There will be that person that will deeply love you no matter what. While we can't predict which, life offers gorgeous moments. Appreciate every moment. Things can change, but that doesn't imply that's negative; no, change can utterly improve your life at any second. Don't be scared something will end; don't be scared someone might leave or pass away - be happy they are here in this very moment! You are loved and appreciated by so many people. Would you confirm this? If you couldn't, you were lying. I'm right here loving you and giving you all my appreciation for existing and being this beautiful person. Lots of love to everybody reading this. If somebody needs a hug, I'll be here. Stay the way you are; that way, and no other, you are perfect. 💕

[@reneesullivan4030]

Beautiful 🤗

[@helmie6619]

I could in fact use a hug. I've been worrying so much lately about my future which seems to be so scary and unpredictable. Thank you for your words which harmonize so well with Ben's song! God Bless you!

GREAT lyrics - that song has such a momentum and drive to it - he has several LIVE versions out that are equally impressive - what else can you say - its a GREAT song

[@lullabiesbylo]

This song gives me chills. I feel like there's a universal meaning behind the lyrics, and everyone can find some way to relate to them.

[@nickyrko]

I've been worrying....that my time is a lil unclear I've been worrying....that im losing the ones I hold dear, I've been worrying...that we all will live our lives in the confines of fear HIS MUSIC IS SIMPLY PERFECTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[@pluviosity]

I won't lie and say "I understand your feeling"; because I don't. But I've lost someone I love couple years ago; so..pray for the best for you.

Ben's music has gotten me through the hardest and the best of times. It's just his lyrics, it's just the feeling I get when I hear it, set free! Love Ben and I have gotten to meet him. First song at me and my wife's wedding, and my son is already listening to him, he is still in the womb haha. Ben makes my life better, big thanks for that.

My getaway song. Takes me back to when I was in hospital and thought I was going to lose everything. Played this song while in the ward and looked at my life. Came out a different man, Ben I know you won't probably read this but I want you to know that you have helped me through difficult times and also my partners difficult times. Thank you for your music, it's so honest and soul cleansing. You don't understand what you do to me when I'm struggling. Thank you again.

Idk how you do it but your music, voice, lyrics, make me feel like you've set my soul free. I easily get angry and annoyed and I have this ugly feeling called hate now I'm not perfect, no one is, everyone has a bad characteristic and it runs in my family I like to believe I had the genes where I get angry but I'm tired of it I even get annoyed and angry at myself. But music helps me with my inner peace. And I like to thank you, because you're giving it to me.

Jesus said, "Come to me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest. His love sets us free, because we can just receive what He has done on the cross and just chill with Him not being worried or anxious about anything. Receiving Jesus' love for you will set you free from anger for sure.

So filled with love at the moment! This song is actually amazing, just showing us the dual nature of our mentalities! We all worry and believe that we live in fear.
