[@danielward96]

Just spent a solid 2 hours on the internet looking for this song, without knowing the artist's name, the song name or remembering any lyrics. Don't even understand how I found it. Top song though.

[@MCSMeister]

How did you go about that? What did you even search?

[@danielmclellan7762]

it took me 5 minutes. the show 17.

[@bill3901]

i kept searhing for "we found a way"

[@matthewrigsby204]

The song with a guitar that goes DUHNENENENENENENE BANENENENENENENE and then the drums go BOOMTISHTAHTISH

[@zacharyburns9380]

been there such a good feeling probably wont forever forget this song now congrats on your find

[@bigbagbass4424]

One of the most underrated songs of all time

[@flack3]

For sure. Dont forget to come back to this masterpiece once in a while.

[@Jujudeze22]

I listen to it once a week. It’s a banger.

[@1994sog]

Absolutely one of the filthiest little pieces of rock I've ever heard. 2 minutes and 46 seconds of heaven.

[@michaelsinner4248]

Hey

[@metzaddict]

Memories to the show 16 on my PS3. Listening to the soundtrack for first time since then… :(

[@Andrew1104_]

Yep

[@ghostinhale5952]

Back when San Diego studios wasn't greedy AF.

[@stevenstompkins6987]

He's an upcoming legend. Phenomenal. You'll never hear him on commercial radio. The fact that there's zero acknowledgment from the mainstream industry bears out this proto legendary status. It should be considered a badge of honor 😊

[@philipburlock8669]

Saw these guys in concert and they blew me away. The pure raw energy is enormous. You can really feel the passion in their music. It's awesome.

[@Imnotoldenough]

goosebumps were made during that riff

[@PantherCity817]

I want to hear this song always, all the time, when I'm awake, when I'm sleeping, when I'm driving, when I'm walking....... I'll find a way, hey! Been a long time coming, keep it up Ben!

[@davidwhite1559]

I was mesmerized the first time I heard this tune on the radio a few months ago but never caught the title or the artist. Coming through Chicago this week, I heard it again on XRT, and they graciously told me it was Benjamin, and the title. As soon as I had a chance, I landed here, then bought the single for my Mac. Since then, I have played this tune almost exclusively for the past three days, including at 5 AM Sunday morning in the kitchen at a volume loud enough to make the dog moan in her sleep. The opening riff is a heckuva hook, the drums are compelling like something out of Keith Moon’s hayday, and the lyrics burrow their way into your brain. He found a way, Booker did. He found a way-ay-ay-ay-ay.

[@michaelsinner4248]

Hey

[@rrrick1000]

This is pure ROCKNROLL! Amen.

[@nickriley3895]

I remember when Benjamin had a video up of him playing guitar on the sidewalk and it only had like 2,000 views. I think the video was removed. Anyways, I'm glad this guy finally got recognized! He deserves it.

[@cameronlindquist3950]

Seriously one of the coolest songs out there.

[@BEARDEDGOAT]

Was sitting inside the Hard Rock Cafe and this came on first time Id ever heard this artists music and was blown away.

[@altonlagrange]

One of the best songs of the last 20 years!

[@bleepbleep504]

Got Benjamin Booker CD and I play this song in my car every single day! On my way to work.

[@jamarsu]

I can't stop listening to this guy. I feel I'm not alone.

[@hombrespez]

Dude. I'm very glad you're coming Mexico City soon. You're the future of music. Keep on.

[@janebennet1046]

Amazing! Total BADASS with a nod to Chuck Berry, I see what he did there.

[@bryanandmelwoodgate2430]

Where I'm going, I'll go in Where I'm going, I never know Into the fire, half heart, you appoint me lover With a cord around your neck can I ever love her? Try your best to just stay sane I try to placate with no shame (Ooh) Ooh Exhale out, breath in, mark return to sender Fucking up on a five year bender I can only trust, only believe That our pleas will be the same (Ooh) Ooh We found a way We found a way We found a way, a way We found a way Always should A way What she's knowing, I'm knowing What she's knowing, I'll never know Tearing it up, go now, across the mighty river All the way to your father's pillar Make a mark for me in the stone Where the weeds have overgrown (Ooh) Ooh Let's go down, no talk, with a violent shiver Attack first, you always deliver If I go down with a gun to my head Just remember what I said (Ooh) Ooh We found a way We found a way We found a way, a way We found a way

[@dillimeinbilli]

Saw this guy live. Fell in love during soundcheck. Played 5 minutes of feedback right at the end, loved every minute of it.

[@screwyootube1]

Kick ass song! I gotta hear more from Benjamin Booker!

[@CSGhostAnimation]

I stumbled across this song, i like it a lot!!!!

[@GuruOfGreatness]

Chuck, Jimi, Benjamin :)

[@dannyfromchicago3736]

Ben's style reminds me of Robert Johnson too :)

[@K19777]

Loudest concert I’ve ever been to. It was actually painful. His first album was absolutely awesome, but I wish I’d brought earplugs with me when I saw him at 9:30. Only happened to me one other time that I can think of. Hope he’s doin well and releases music in the future. Got a lotta talent.

[@ronmecredy]

*Violent Shiver captured me from the first chord to the last strum* Great meeting you last night with Bones Sloane... Have a great concert tonight

[@esoterikizm]

I can hear Chuck in his strums and riffs. Mr. Berry would be proud. Keep the fire alive kid.

[@futurehendrix1951]

Damn, this is great Rock here. Benjamin and his band will do great in the future. Glad to hear young guys playing Rock. I'm 14 but I hate rap and pop, Metal and Rock all the way.

[@stephenowen3383]

Nice one I'm 15 and have similar opinions

[@lockelamora4128]

[@imnotfurrytrashimjusttrash6927]

[@mp4f]

Brings me back

[@theclozer3346]

Memories

[@modlife67]

I can't believe his debut single on Blood Red vinyl limited to only 500 copies is still available. When this guys collecting his first Grammy, you'll wish you'd snagged one!

[@justwanjiku]

[@surayzep6989]

Raw Rock N' Roll

[@Thebossladyshouse]

[@SulphuricPotatoe]

Booted up the ps3 and put The Show 16 disc in. Love this music

[@thestrumpets1858]

The bassists’ mom was my “ peer evaluator” as a teacher , I credit her for being the level 3/4 ( of 5) teacher I am today . This song is beyond phenomenal and this drummer hits with a very interesting energy , please hmu if y’all in Tampa signed mediocre guitarist/ bassist

[@MetroidFreak123]

First time I've heard of Benjamin Booker. Glad to have heard about him now.

[@desireekagan1885]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I cannot start my 6am solo chef shift without you every day!!!!! Huge huuuuuuuuuge fan!!!!!

[@SuppaFlyification2]

Where I'm going, I'm going Where I'm going, I never know Into the fire I thought you upon me lover When I cried you didn't die ever in my heart Try to pass test the same I try to break it with no shame Oooh ooh ooh ooooh ooh Exhale her or breathe in and return to center Fuck it up on a five-year bender I can know that just I'll never leave her Please won't be the same Oooh ooh ooh ooooh ooh We found a way, we found a way We found a way, a way We found a way What she's knowing, I'm knowing What she's knowing I'll never know Turn it all Going now across the mighty river All the way for the last pillar Make a mark for me in the snow and Weeds above the bar Oooh ooh ooh ooooh ooh Let's go down Nuff talk with a violent shiver Talk fast you always deliver Farther they will come tonight, just remember what I said Oooh ooh ooh ooooh ooh We found a way, we found a way We found a way, a way We found a way

[@Seafarer-Ade]

Those lyrics are wrong.

[@davo2003hd]

Fuck it up on a five-year bender..................

[@MrDanimo77]

Benjamin Booker has just put in a quality performance on Later Live with Jools Holland, I'm now a fan.....

[@jasontolliss5233]

Great to see new talent, love this so much.

[@splitresistanceband]

These guys opened for Jack White in Pittsburgh and they were awesome! It's sort of like Chuck Berry but in modern, alternative awesomeness style ;)

[@RaoulDuke504RC]

Hey methinks I saw the Circle Bar in New Orleans at the very end there. Great tune.

[@riccardopronzato]

I can't stop to listen that song. Great!

[@MCMLXXXIX]

Finally, some music with chutzpah!

[@henryh5385]

I’m just here, waiting for this masterpiece to make it to one million views.

[@MrMonikerjay]

Tower Records doc All Things Must Pass brought me here.

[@sparkygroover]

[@richardfleszar9120]

Wow. Finally a new rock band with talent.

[@dynjarren7523]

The Rebirth of Rock n Roll! Nothing Less!

[@InhaleAIR]

[@jaramoneja]

Naah, it's better like this

[@InhaleAIR]

Trener MorskihPasa its just sooo good, hah.

[@odinosullivan1214]

Fuck me. Now this is music.

[@nativegurl8886]

Man, oh man!! Luv this jam. 🎸 A feast for the eyes & ears. 😍🎶😋

[@creekandseminole]

Well, this settles it then. I'm going to buy this guys album now. This is just good rock and roll. I love it. I need it.

[@morpheos111]

More than any, the music scene of New Orleans seems to be producing some jolt back into music again. It's where it's happening now.

[@delphidae6610]

anyone else hear it as a union of 50s with a dash of 80s punk ?

[@Q171717]

Got my red vinyl 45 and playing on constant repeat (the cat is *not* happy). Can't wait for the whole album! Seeing BB next week in Mpls and later in July opening for Jack White in Chicago... such a great sound.

[@jasontolliss5233]

Your cat cant have much taste then? lol

[@donaldmadatrumpana747]

that's a good song. I love your Epiphone Custom Riviera.

[@ceustance01]

Letterman said it best last night.....OH MY GOD!!!

[@SaraConradBoulder]

Now a video of "Happy Homes" please! Just heard that song on BBCR1 (late night for them, dinner time for me). Very nice!

[@trooperV2003]

Rock Band 4 baby hell yea!

[@Consciousss]

[@Danton1990]

[@mancannon1]

[@bigoof9059]

Danton1990 SAMMMMMEEEE!!!!!!!!

[@AntiHeroLBC]

It's fun on the drums, especially the drum solos =D

[@timothymcdonald6913]

Heard it at the end of a Tower Records Documentary. Watched the credits and found it right next to George Harrison's All Things Must Pass. Fine piece of music in my humble opinion!

[@brandname6]

high five to the globe in mail in Canada, and journalist Brad wheeler for introducing me to this

[@krinico]

Just discovered this song & I looooooove it!

[@firebugmusic]

Awesome Benjamin! Hope to see you tonight @ The Mohawk!

[@rock92cris]

[@StevenSclafani]

Tower Records brought me here. All Things Must Pass.

[@woodgoddess222]

ROCK N ROLLLLL YESSS FROM START TO FINISH. WOW!!!

[@creekandseminole]

This guy, Gary Clark Jr, and King Krule are three newer artists I've discovered these past few years. All three are excellent and very unique.

[@LeeDavisHomeOffice]

Awes-mazingly sublime....

[@prickly-pear]

Great song. I didn't know any of BB's music until I heard this on the closing credits of the Tower Records doc All Things Must Pass.

[@penguin99ify]

Has lots of rough edges which is nice....most music today takes 150K to record and still lacks the power of this simple riff.

[@BangbangclubDeBerlin]

An incredible concert on 11/25/2014 at Bang Bang Club Berlin! The entire concert can be seen on ARTE tracks on 1/10/2015. Thanks to Benjamin!

[@awesome346]

[@jasoncolbourne94]

When I heard this son in Teton Gravity research's movie Paradise Waits I knew I would listen to this song everyday skiing

[@chager00]

DAMN DAMN DAMN I love this. I'm ready to buy the vinyl, digital download, and at least one t-shirt.

[@jrmwigga5555]

This was awesome.

[@dogfaceboy47]

This is like a modern-day Eddie and the Hot Rods. Whoa. Good stuff.

[@kaslokrazy]

Raw and real.

[@petrasihombing]

Can't wait see him live at Fuji Rock on the 26th!

[@modlife67]

If you took the musical genes of Otis Redding, Chuck Berry and The Clash you'd have Benjamin Booker! Damn this burns!

[@glass4breakfast]

modlife67 that's cuz it's fire! Hot hot fire! Dope! Lol btw...I fucking love the Clash!

[@jamessummers5936]

God Bless Guitar Hero.

[@catalinovidal7716]

Sí llego acá por el fifa, solo puedo decirle que compre el maldito vinil y disfrute de todo el poder del Violent Shiver.

[@1blastman]

I wonder if he is even distantly related to James Carroll Booker the great New Orleans piano player. Their styles are very different, but genius takes different forms over many generations.

[@blackhousefilms4659]

youre amazing
