Ben Howard - I Forget Where We Were

[@blakewilliams4007]

Ben is that type of guy you see sitting on a bench with glasses on and you dropped something and it come accidently to him and gives it back to you and says "how are you?" and you talk with him the whole time and then you realise you need to go home and he says bye and goes home to and you stare at him the whole time and for some reason when you walk away you have that free feeling.

[@nn5410]

Get married. Seriously. Being in a relationship is not the same thing as being married. The bond, the sense of responsibility and duty to family, it's powerful. You can't know it until it's experienced. It's a decision you make, not a feeling you succumb to. People think it's just a piece of paper, they're wrong. Wishing renewal, wisdom, and good things to you.🥂

[@Amyrhianna101]

The center of the parasol devides the building. The building represents their relationship and life, swing the relationship from two different sides.... the distance between them and the building is about commitment to the relationship on both parts. Once they are both not watching the building it falls down. Moral of the story; don’t take one another for granted not even for a second. Don’t ever take your eye off the ball otherwise it all comes crashing down.

[@davidhubbard9974]

So my interpretation of the video is that the beach symbolises their life together. They are stuck in a place of purgatory with only each other for company. The two of them are very alike, hence the symmetry of the parasol and their chairs, but their relationship has stagnated. The building represents their past and the two of them are too transfixed with what has happened before to move on. The gun that he holds represents his sins (possibly domestic violence, although he never points it at her so it could be general aggression) and the sand castle which she builds is symbolic of her own insignificant dreams which she builds up quietly on her own but never amount to anything. It is only when the two of them hold hands and touch that they rediscover their love and why they are together in the first place. It here that they realise that it is time to move on and they cannot remain trapped in this state of looking at the past forever, they must move on. I dont know whether they stay together after this point or go their own separate ways but whichever it is they are leaving the past behind them, thus destroying it, hence the building falling down. Thats just me though. Whatever the real meaning is, it is a beautifully directed and designed video. The cinematographer for this is a genius.

[@jeremynunns7496]

pretty sure it was about something a couple couldn't get over - which is what that ugly building in the middle of a beautiful ocean represented. They spent all day staring at it, not talking. He points and shoots his shotgun uselessly at it a few times. Instead finally, he takes her hand, wants to make amends, and they walk away into the future, and the painful past crumbles as they forget it, and perhaps find each other at the end...

The building isn't their relationship, it's the end of their relationship. They can see the end, the impermanence of the relationship is known to both and they are together awaiting its arrival. When the building falls, neither is in that location on the beach anymore. The spot under the umbrella was the relationship.

[@Xanaxdu-si3ch]

I'm living this song at this moment. What we've had is now dying so slowly, and I can't find the words to try and save it. Maybe I see things that weren't ever there; maybe he couldn't live up to what he said. Maybe each of us is running away from our truest feelings. Neither of us may ever know. But my heart is cooling and it feels strained from months of effort to save what can't be saved. Over the last week I have found a tenuous peace in knowing that I loved as hard as I could -- as did he -- but that alone hasn't been enough as the summer fades. Neither of us can look at each other in the eye as we used to. This is like a near-silent death from a thousand small cuts, but it's a death nonetheless.

[@theatheistjuggalo393]

I think this video symbolizes two people walking away from love in the summer. Like that infatuation you get for a special somebody in the summer. It shows two people who probably loved each other at one point, but the man keeps taking shots at their love to see how strong it is. The reason the pages are turning so fast is because they don't have a lot of time left, hence the summer being short. They're both miserable, but love draws them together, but by the end of the video he takes the right shot and the building slowly collapses, showing that the love was dying, but despite that little wonderful magnum opus of great summer love ending, they both felt a sense of relief.

[@Fireneedsair]

[@steffen9470]

This song has some of the most vivid imagery of song that has had an impact on me. During one summer I was in a long distance relationship and this song spoke comprehensive detail of the ambiguity of that state. I forget where we were. The summer passed and we lived our own lives and had our own experiences. We were only able to have a couple visits and facetime calls when our schedules and time zones alllowed. But in between those periods of time I had to try to remember the thistle and the burr, my invincible friend, the person for whom I have so many words. But when you live different lives and in different spaces it is hard to remember where you were, and what that space even felt like. We drove across the country together by the end of the summer and the love rushed back into my body and filled me to the brim. But before we were together I had to do my best to remember what it was like until I could feel the togetherness again.

Forgetting where you are - drowning in day to day life, loved ones not embracing each other's presence because we are so pre-occuppied doing regular boring things in order to make a living, instead of what really makes us happy.

Only 30 seconds into the video, and I already love it. Damn it Ben Howard, why can't you just marry me already? This video is extremely, extremely deep and emotional. For those of you that seem to think the video does no justice to the song, you aren't really understanding the full meaning of the song and the message it is sending out. This represented it beyond what I could have imagined. I actually got teary eyed. I felt the distance, I felt the struggle, I felt the tension. But I also felt the connection and the want and need to not forget, to not give up. "Maybe it was peace at last, who knew." "Hello love, for you I have so many words But I, I forget where we were" - this video captivates this so well. This was beautiful. I wouldn't have expected anything else.

And in particular the line 'maybe it was peace at last, who knew?' is probably the most important line of the whole song, and a line in general that, in context with the whole vibe of 'I forget where we were' (the song), captures its outstanding aesthetic/attitude/mood the best. it’s a masterpiece and I will be forever grateful that this song, this amazing and so significant song, exists. thank you, Ben.

[@nashesse]

@@LutzTeichmann it’s been six years and this song still resonates with me more than many, if not most, other songs. for me, it’s always been a journey of utter-deep sorrow, melancholia and fickle hope that i have connected to the song. it’s a journey of healing. maybe not the most conventional one considering the subject and tone of the song, but sometimes things just hurt so good, so tender, like pressing a bruise. it’s not about someone specific - it’s more about who you were in the past, and who was with you in the past. and even among the worst, well. maybe it was peace at last, who knew.

It's like a Wes Anderson film. The symmetry in some frames are awe-inspiring. Very artsy and full of meaning. Good on you, Benjamin.

Every once in a while, where i can comeback and refresh my mind. So much in the music and lyrics.

[@AS-tv6mn]

I'm just pissed off that only heard this song recently, and it's been out for years. I nearly fell off the chair when I heard it. What a beautiful piece of art this is. Thanks Ben

[@lunchbreakskate]

I could dissect this video for hours... Covering all of the subtle semiotic signs throughout, but every time I sit down to do It, I'm distracted by how beautiful this song really is. I lose myself in comparisons of this and my own life. Ben Howard is a poet that plays music. That's It. That's my analysis. lol

What an eloquent way to sum up love - "I forget where we were"

[@JuanDiego-ju7qy]

this is amazing, i dont know why but it is

[@isaiahlopez5616]

It never fails 3:32 just makes me feel like my entire soul left my body. Such a deep and emotional song 🙏🏼

[@kkatr07]

same same same... I’m listening this since 2014/2015 so powerful...

[@ln9256]

@@kkatr07 same here. A random guy on my college campus first week of first semester freshman year was blasting it at a table outside the library and I asked him what the song was. We've been friends ever since purely thanks to Ben Howard

Maybe it was peace at last, who knew?

Water almost always symbolises emotions, feelings, some kind of depth in people, the hidden, the untold, the heavy.

[@glatisant74]

this is so hipnotic. you cant tell how and why, just throws you to another dimension. i rarely know anything with similar impact. deepest secrets of art here

Palace, 'Heaven up there'

[@obsidiansnow3790]

Oh Ben.... Can we play board games sometime, share stories over a campfire? Wish I knew more people who share this depth with their loved ones. Moving to a big city can suck sometimes.

[@sarahfriday3835]

I think this song must be, and will remain to be, one of the most beautiful songs out. The videography gives me goosebumps each time I watch it (and I've viewed it A LOT).

[@Kara1OO]

This is probably the only song that I have tears in eyes as only I hear the first note.

[@gonzalez.2974]

Great songs never get old, and this is one of them.

[@NRBomvula]

This is a stunning song. Two lovers trying to reclaim the past even though they know it's all behind them. So, once upon a time there was love. And wasn't she good. We clung on to her like she were a prayer, and with the hours falling around us we lost it. Lost it to the May winds. At the shoreline, Durban getting swallowed by distance. There we were, and there was the hope we had imagined. There, right there before us to behold.

[@MoisesLuisML90]

I remember the first time i heard a Ben Howard song It was on House MD season 8 ep 12 in the end of the episode i heard "Promise" From that day i listen all the things Ben have made and love him... That left hand guy is AMAZING!

[@denisseizur]

+Moises Luis ME TOO!! after that he's become my favorite artist.

[@MoisesLuisML90]

After 2 years and im still listen to this song every single day!

[@novsun7317]

the cautious, gracefully unfolded delicately fierce dancing demolishing pathos in here oh my

[@chrisrobicheaw6595]

This is by far my favorite music video, I cannot stop watching. The simple yet gorgeous cinematography of this piece is perfection.
