Ben Howard - White Lights - New Single

[@williamryan2899]

ben howard is without a doubt one of the best songwriters ever, by miles he is THE BEST songwriter of our generation. Im not exaggerating at all.

[@inhumandestroyer]

I couldn't agree more and I think you're a fool if you disagree. He is, simply, a musical genius. He just gets music.

[@JonatanSundkvist]

Fully agree with both of you, i get mesmerized by hearing his music

[@Mindofadirector]

I can't argue against it, he is the best by far

[@LAyugi]

This is not even an opinion, this is a fact.

[@Rafal_Soboczynski]

william ryan might be controversial to some but i think he is even greater songwriter than Bob Dylan

[@CarlosTorres-cb6oe]

10 years after first being in contact with Ben's music and I keep finding new stuff. Wow.

[@maxitaxiish]

Same Amigo !

[@ruby-siouxskillen5071]

Me too! 🫣🫶🏽

[@moulderzmoulder]

Found like 7 new Songs today. Im very happy crying

[@riannarosep-d5894]

Ben needs to release this, quiet me down and birch tree/untitled. They're all my damn favourites man

[@CalDrogo_]

Rookery (birch tree) is going to be on his album coming out March 26 :)

[@stephaniesong8566]

Truthful moment here, I really didn't know the depth of how much I could love one artist and how much I could FEEL music until Ben Howard.

[@CastlesMadeOf...]

**FEEL** is exactly the right word, you dont just listen to his music you feel it

[@Jameson619B]

I know how he is able to keep writing at this level boggles my mind, it's not supposed to look this easy. Songwriting and music can be a lot of "Hit & Miss" but Ben Howard doesn't seem to miss. Unlike any other artist Ive come across I can listen to all of his music over and over again and not get tired of it. I haven't heard one song from any other artist in 3 months, all Ben (that's the truth), and I don't see and end anytime soon. I love him live more so I went through the videos of him here on KZbin and downloaded them converting them to mp3, so I'm set for awhile and love it. My favorite right now is "Gracious" (well one of my favorites, along with "The Fear" and "Small Things") I don't know if you have heard it, if not you should give it a try. It's an older song from his first or second album I believe.

[@prinzessinaufderknallerbse]

Discovering "new" old Ben songs is a pleasure :) such a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece 🤍

[@jrodmonkes3357]

Just discovered this one also!

[@adamkhan288]

If you're reading this, then you are currently listening to one of the greatest pieces of poetry ever created, enjoy

[@jonp2968]

This guy is a living legend and will be remembered and listened to for generations. He's taken the acoustic guitar and made it his own unique sound that nobody else even comes close too. And he writes songs that convey pure emotion and hope through lyrics that are masterfully wtritten. He's basically created his own genre that can't be replicated. The definition of a pioneer and an artist.

[@sparrow4202]

The Bob Dylan of our generation....what a legend...& even more modest & humble than Dylan....just doing his thing...so full of passion & honesty & wisdom...an old soul!!!love ye👏👏👏❤️

[@FallenAngel-ik8og]

My best friend played me "I will be blessed" 6 years ago, and I have been in love with his music ever since. His depth and insights are far beyond his years.

[@piotrekszajerkaxd1434]

Why the hell this isn't on IFWWW. WHY. Ben has got so many good songs, but he doesn't put them on the albums. I understand it, and I respect, but... I just want to listen the studio version. Only God knows how much I want it, damn.

[@multi9jokker]

haha same here :D too many good songs left unpublished.

[@terrapin8474]

The Burren should've got onto Burgh Island or IFWWW

[@melrhymenoceros]

I get you so much. This is one of my all time favorite songs of his

[@inforuimteschip5970]

yeah its crazy, I love burgh Island. But al those songs from just that pocket of time are just so damn intens, could have been somewhat of an epic album. So good. also Keiko would be on there right?

[@Jasongilliar]

If ur interessted on my yt chanal on the playlist, there is an ifww album with the song and other songs who are unreleased. And ofc a lot of other playlists a lot of them are all over the place but i manage it during the week. I think ifww is finished in a couple of minutes

[@DaringDarkness]

I love his guitar playing. And his voice...that voice...holy shit

[@brunodinizart]

"and now I came to be a man not without my father’s hand but without your fears and their pain.”

[@brunodinizart]

Aj part of the lyrics

[@sergeyefuni8704]

From a fellow musician, one of the best songwriters I've ever seen. Daily reminder of greatness.

[@moore663]

passion is unstoppable in this man

[@phonyk568]

How do you feel about this comment in 2020?

[@iketyke7324]

@@phonyk568 I would imagine completely the same?

[@stephenbrearley691]

This man's music is such an important part of my life.

[@K0Y0L0E0C0U0L0L0E0N]

This is still the best song I have ever heard..

[@jonp2968]

You still a massive Ben fan? I've been lurking for years, and was always impressed by your dedication to the man. This, Keiko, Esmerelda and Master are personal faves of mine. But theres tens of close seconds haha :)

[@awrc64]

The fact that this song didn't even make the cut for the new album makes me extremely excited, but I still hope that a studio version of this song appears at some point.

[@12paardenlover]

No words can express how good this song is.

[@morjan001]

so much talent in one man. everything he makes is raw and beautiful.

[@Eyelaashh]

Grammy for Ben Howard please. PLEASE.

[@coolckatyie]

I seriously can't even express how anxious I am to listen to his new album.

[@moonlightransom]

sad I never heard this live, can't believe i've been coming back to this video for almost a decade

[@ElohaMusic]

Still buzzing after seeing Ben on his IFWWW 10 year tour. Honestly he is uniquely himself and a genius. ❤❤

[@jesspring18]

I was at this particular concert and Ben Howard is hands down the best artist I have ever seen live- the atmosphere was unbelievable

[@crimsonrouge4016]

The Heart is taken on a Journey again with Ben, Thank you Ben Howard

[@voliavedder]

the way the crowd stand quiet while listen says it all

[@katoruxiii5956]

another pure shining gem

[@MartyMcF1y24]

So this is insanely good... I hope he keeps playing it. If it takes him to too dark a place, I can see why he wouldn't.

[@davids8859]

Mans a genius! Plain and simple

[@missfortunata]

I wish he had more recognition.

[@Tjoens]

I don't want to be rude, but he has literally millions of views and won 2 BRIT Awards last year

[@kristyarthur260]

+Tjoens you are absolutely right. i know this was over a year ago, but i find it frustrating when people say that. i personally like that he isnt playing every other song on the radio. Hes too amazing for that.

[@missfortunata]

+Kristy Arthur I didn't imply that his songs should be playing everywhere, though I find it a little selfish to say so. Art, specially genius masterpieces, is meant for people. For everyone, no exceptions. Now, it is the person's choice whether to acknowledge or overlook it.

[@missfortunata]

+Tjoens I'm glad to hear that. I did say so because he's not so popular in my country.

[@Tjoens]

Then we're on the same page :)

[@abbieshepherd5990]

love Ben Howard, this is such a beautiful song😌💓

[@marletschkotho6994]

this is the best recording of this song. absolutely stunning. love his performance.

[@lynnbagat9995]

Amazing songwriter and artist!🙏❤️

[@TheThreeKings.]

Thank you very much for uploading this gem. Can't get enough of this touching song.

[@todddavis240]

We are the one's depressed Ben, you are the vessel for which to travel back to the positive. Ben Howard cannot do a depressing song. Peace

[@Jameson619B]

Another great song by Ben Howard, but what's new? I don't know how I got by before I heard Ben Howard for the first time. He is awesome! His voice is obviously amazing as is his unique guitar play but what separates him from the rest is his songwriting. He has a knack for writing great songs, almost without fail. It is rare for an artist to be able to churn out great song after song. Most artists may have 2-3 songs per cd that are good and if you're lucky maybe a couple more ok songs with the rest being basically fillers. But not him, you would be hard-pressed to find 2-3 songs on his cd's that aren't great. To be honest I have probably around 70 of his songs and I can honestly say It would be difficult to pick out a handful that I don't love. THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN, and yet somehow he doesn't get recognition, get the airplay or get the fame and yet artists like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Rhianna are everywhere, it makes no sense. And unlike them and most of the other "Top 100" artists he sounds as good if not better live, A True Talent.

[@whatithoughtyouwere]

i forgot how calming his music can be

[@TheJohanssons]

I'm crying, so beautiful! So excited for the next album. Ben Howard, damn I really love him so much

[@eaglekeeper7608]

That is a stellar song and performance. Absolutely love this.

[@todddavis240]

Just sing the phone book! Every song artists just don't happen, and then not just the song the message! Be safe dear Ben you have fan's now that would be destroyed if something happened to you! My fear is legitimate! Because Living legends need to be extra careful! Peace&Love Be safe!

[@MrTheBEARBEAR]

Best version on the net. Thanks. Phenomenal song

[@rwb_gary6355]

Wonderful song!

[@HUGHESY012]

His new albums will be unbelievable. Can not WAIT! pure driving music.

[@kersje03]

One word: intense!

[@Weecrumb]

The Greatest to ever do it

[@melanietravellife6104]

he is a genius , what else to say......:)

[@caitlinm802]

Genuinely cannot wait for this album to come out! CAN'T WAAAAAIT!

[@djnerv99]

10 years and still no actual release of this song. What a shame.

[@vitalikkon731]

Дивовижно! (Amazing song)

[@Vanessa-ZLT19]

❤❤❤ Un'altra perla preziosa di Ben!

[@Haydn3560]

I like this new sad style, I can relate to it so well. And I agree with another, I do like this new haunting feeling :)

[@mattydahl]

Unreal stuff

[@hcbaby1988]

I'm outrageously happy that your recording of this is good! thanks for recording and uploading :D you make dreams come true...

[@wandybar]

This is just perfect

[@Vrtel__]

Ohh.. that guitar sound..

[@dundermifflinthisiserin]

Ah man, so perfect

[@stewiecall97]

Wish this was in the new album:(

[@HUGHESY012]

the new album is gonna be unbelievable. Ideal driving music.

[@moore663]

god this is bloody good,

[@AliceFairyWeather]

I love it! It's not that depressing, more dark and haunting and mysterious. Can't wait for album two!

[@ShamrockHearts]

so excited for this next album!

[@cgollimusic]

I hope he combines these.. but then again I'd like him to do a whole darker album for a change.. Cause I love Burgh Island as hell I can tell you that.. the darkness is just haunting...

[@scouse2777]

I wish this was on the album :-(

[@Suna1988be]

Man that second album will be sick!

[@sherrynewington1120]

I agree with Todd Davis. I listen to every kingdom to get some hope and inspiration. However, this is a good song. Every artist has got to explore other avenues of expression. I hope his new cd is amazing even if its sad.

[@npinoy]

if I would have been standing beside the guy that "booed" at the end, I would have beaten him bloody like a red headed step child. amazing song.

[@wang2890]

i'm calling a new ep from him soon.

[@EargasmLover]

im hoping so

[@urvimalvania1663]

Praying for the same ...

[@moore663]

praying for an LP tbh.

[@TheLukee11]

hope

[@DelScully]

I dont know man... He waited a couple years between albums last time.. but I got a funny feeling with this one :(

[@shoeuzi]

cheers for recording this mate!

[@sharethesunshineTV]

God I am excited about the new album.

[@0abeautifulmess0]

please let this be on the new album!

[@rachierawrz]

the people in the background talking really piss me off. bens bearing his soul and people are being bloody rude

[@johnmcgrath8077]

David s Ego statrs

[@XxFighter4]

thanks

[@MusicByFin]

oh yeah! that sounds perfect, thanks

[@elipkau]

Congratulations you are cool !!! You really get through all this nonsense

[@Suna1988be]

Seriously, that woman laughing at 4:24 should never be allowed to visit Ben Howard gigs again :p. It annoys the hell out of me

[@moore663]

it almost stands in nice contrast to bitterness of the song. its like a cackle of victory just audible behind Ben's lament.

[@jeemchucho3016]

Maybe she heard a very good joke? Sounds like they are having a great time. Can't blame em! After all this is a live performance.. Not a recorded version. Gotta take what you can get!

[@dundermifflinthisiserin]

Thanks for the video btw!

[@bowsoftheworld1430]

Thanks ! "it all is well, all is good, the crows of eden which your blackbirds never could like you said they would" I think it is : "all is well, all is good, the crows have eaten what you blackbird never could like you said they would"

[@HugoDeBate]

I was going to say something about that, but I thought 'nah, surely it can't be someone booing, its more likely to be a person with learning difficulties trying to cheer'

[@algeerianprincess]

i think where you've put unaudibe he says "but without your fears and the pain" x

[@HugoDeBate]

It sounds to me like he's saying "I am, my dear, so painfully clear of it all", but I could be wrong. It definitely doesn't sound like "I know", though. Just a heads-up. Cheers for the upload.

[@MusicByFin]

that's fine!

[@threetreetown]

I could be wrong but in the first verse ' i will always be faced with ruin' to me sounds like 'I will always be face to the wind'

[@ruby-siouxskillen5071]

🌷

[@MrAdzy2010]

Oh I completely agree, Burgh was definitely as good as EK... I'll be happy either way!

[@DPerQ03]

+MusicByFin I feel like in the third verse there is a mistake. Isn't he singing "I'll always be faced to the wind"?

[@XxFighter4]

any one have the lyrics for this, such an amazing song

[@mohamadkaaki3680]

OMGGGG WHAT!??? WHEN??!!

[@MrAdzy2010]

Gonna be interesting to see the style of the next album... upbeat like EK, or darker like Burgh...? Amazing either way!

[@guitarkilljoy]

When is new the album? :) :) :)

[@indianajones926]

And he never played it again.

[@ljpyoyo]

It's 'the crows have eaten what your blackbirds never could'

[@aaronsmith5515]

Does anyone know if he'll be playing anywhere any time soon?

[@Røuges-Music]

nope

[@MusicByFin]

in the description

[@menodummie5]

Any idea what this is about? I've read it was too personal to put on his new album

[@menodummie5]

yeah I had heard that too. Wasn't sure if it was a rumor or accurate.

[@Colloquial123]

Brady M. I heard someone say, that he said it wasn't true. I have not personally heard him say that, and if it were true it makes his songs make more sense

[@menodummie5]

***** yeah seems like a stretch in the first place.

[@menodummie5]

maybe he'll pull a dave matthews and come out with a book at some point

[@K0Y0L0E0C0U0L0L0E0N]

***** He wrote "diamonds" for his mother, maybe it's about her if this is true? :)

[@Coonieputz]

isn't it "barren land to toil?" :) but I might be wrong ;)

[@crokette2523]

i think this is " i am my dear so painfully clear of it..." but i could be wrong of course...

[@MusicByFin]

@jacktennesee welcome lad

[@makeyourfaith]

I think he means "barren land" as opposed to "baron land"

[@MusicByFin]

Bournemouth O2 academy

[@snot6890]

K look, if you want to complain about the bad lyrics in the description (no offense Fin), go ahead and make your own lyric video. Its really, really pointless to simply be correcting this constantly.
