[@fjperez620]

what you mean by that? he will not feel lonely?, he is expressing himself, if he would be more positive will solve his life?. This new way of thinking positive and thinking the brain has the power to chance every aspect of your life is an ilussion, you feel like the world is in your hands while the only way to be having control of yourself and your life is knowing the truth of yourself, knowing yourself, not feeling like a super hero or faking to be someone you are not.

I am alone in a box of stone When all is said and done As the wind blows to the east from the west Unto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest I am lonely, alone in a box of stone They claim they loved me but they all lieing I am lonely alone in a box of my own And this is the place, I now belong Its my home, home, home, home home home home home x2 It wasnt easy getting used to this I use to scream Its not true, that its only when the door is locked That nobody enters Cuz mine has been open till your demise But none had come, well who am I, What have i done wrong? Ive been lonely, alone in a box of my stone They claim to be near me but they were all lying, its not true Ive been lonely, alone in a box of my stone This is the place I know I now belong Its my home, home, home, home home home home home x2 Friends, I have met Lovers have slept and wept Promises to stay had never been kept This bare truth of which most wont share I hope you share, I hope you share Cuz I have been lonely Alone in a box of my own They claim to love me and be near me But they are all lieing I have been lonely, alone in a box of my stone And this is the place I now know I belong Its my home, home, home, home home home home home x2

I believe he could bring me to tears reading the phone book.

[@umanicole9857]

Yaaaaaassss...

[@LorenzodiLaurent]

It does bring me to tears opening the phone book realizing that there is no phone for me to call I am lonely alone on a box of my own

If George miller can put me to sleep singing about anal beads, I believe he can do that.

[@arsenicas3371]

As a kid who grew up homeless and hasn't seen they're family in years this beautiful man has gotten me through everything. Just to make this song hit home even more a shelter I used to live in was called Cornerstone and this was exactly how I felt in those years

[@AM-AnitaM]

Wow! You were meant to hear him. You aren’t alone. He resonates. We resonate. That is validation. That’s value. I wish you all the best. ❤️

[@muzeyyen5188]

[@mdsr640]

To anyone reading this. I pray your wounds heal and you find peace 🌹.

Someone hand this man an award

[@FeroshaTittes]

IKR?

[@kimstory8441]

so right

[@marcsazy]

They did - Mercury Prize 2015 baby!

[@TeodomirodosSantos]

I recomend to give to him 2 awards: 1 because he's a genius and the other in case he loses the first one.

[@user-cz3gr9ek4p]

This man is genius they only give awards to famous stupid people and probably they buy them but this guy will be legend after his death like most of the Artist

[@vardanvardanyan3653]

It takes a lot of inner culture to sing your pain out instead of drinking. It takes enormously huge talent to do it in such a terrific way. Can't stop listening again and again.

[@jadesix3697]

I lost a dear friend recently This music helps me a lot because it was his music at his funeral Thank you Benjamin ❤️

[@salguodm]

Your hope is our hope! your rawness is so fleshy your lonelyness is our aloneness your melody is magically so promising to us I hope you shall be all that the cosmics ordaine you to be so mote it be

[@dionarap8978]

I remember the first time I listened to this song, Benjamin was a guest on a famous Italian talk show. My brother and I cried throughout the show and we listened to this song together a lot of times. it is very touching, it reminds me of a very sad period in my life and it also reminds me of my brother, who helped me overcome everything. now he lives far away and can no longer sing this song with me.

[@EARTHLYANGEL1111]

Touched my heart. No one is ever alone God and Jesus Christ is there always.

[@itskonybaby]

I am a child...but I m really glad to hear that...sound,melody...I would give everything to see you Mr Clementine.I also work on music and this is something different.I hope you will read my message.I hope... Thanks

[@Isa-me3fl]

Je ne connaissais pas ce titre...j'aime beaucoup cet artiste 👍

[@philonico]

Fidjie Fidjie Une incroyable découverte pour moi. Chanson splendide

[@cynthiajohnson6940]

From England.... I observed America's newest music star being born tonight! I'm thankful that Jimmy Fallon introduced him to us tonight!!!

[@SerinaJane]

Benjamin is British (who moved to France), Burberry has been featuring him since years now in their fashion shows where he performed live he also was featured in their latest campaign commercial for their new Perfume, in the making of he said: "Radio doesn't play me, Burberry is my radio and way to introduce my music to a larger audience.

[@blahblah99196]

He's English...

[@FrankMalaba]

This song breaks my heart. I have been here so many times before and it feels like a personal testimony to my life sung in a single song. I am glad I discovered this man. Thank you Benjamin.

[@endlesswave2685]

U r not alone!

[@panchosvillos]

I wish good luck for both of you guys 😊

[@gigizeta]

Big hug to you Frank. 💪🏻😊

[@manzanillita]

his music just opens a whole new world to me. damn.

[@nomadic.a9004]

Mel Beltrán expressed my feelings..

[@venicementor2068]

I am besotted - he is astounding - he really touches my soul with his music. This is the first time in a long time that I have purchased music. Heard him for the first time last night on the Tonights Show - he stopped my boyfriend and I in our tracks - we both wept. So far I have not been able to listen to any of his songs without crying - there is something about his tone.

[@juniorenderson6920]

That happens when music reach the soul

[@ameliemeliemelo9762]

Il vit la musique, les mots et ils nous les offrent comme cadeau. Émotions

[@clemensspark9689]

Only a soul with centuries of suffering can have such a power of sharing deep intense pain with others.

[@HappilyHeaven]

why isn't he famous in the U.S yet ? like he is wonderful

[@SerinaJane]

He is British and Radio doen't play him, but he became quite known because Burberry featured him more than once in their Fashion shows where he was performing Live as well. he is a musical genius, but for some people i presume too "out there" with his style of singing and his words.

[@alvaroben1]

I feel so much pain and, paradoxically, at the same time the hopeful desire to shout for this humanity halfway between sleep, hope and disaster.

[@fabiani3642]

Sublime. Déchirant. Magnifique. Admiration et Merci Monsieur Benjamin Clementine

[@amthembu1956]

Benjamin, Do not worry that it has taken you this long to come into recognition. Good things are worth waiting for. Take for instance, food we cannot eat before it is fully cooked. So this the right time for you. Thank God you're still alive

[@centuryvogue6220]

This man is an enigma, so captivating. The emotion is from deep inside the soul, he just sucks you in almost like making one submerged with and in his innermost being. I totally went into his pain and hurt. I pray he finds healing and an inner peace with himself and those that matter to him. Love you Benjamin Clementine!

[@juanamariafernandezgarcia8480]

Si... Claro q lo entiendo!.. solo mirarle y escucharle me electriza el vello y araña mis entrañas.. Tmbn tuve" un hogar,.. fué mi hogar...hogar?... Ya no está, per siempre quedarán secuelas... Genial, tremendo

[@blatantenigma3374]

Immediate tears, always with Benjamin

[@zaho_de_sagazan]

tout ce que tu fais est magnifique tellement heureuse d'avoir découvert

[@SpeegBJ]

Don''t leave Benjamin. Been loving you for months now; I can find hope and sweet fine times....your chords and shouts giving us all a reason to dig in the mud and find love.

[@monsteraap]

Thank god for Tiny Desk Concerts, it might have taken me so much longer to discover this genius. This guy is special, very, very special! I can't remember being so blown away by an artist like he has. Not for a long time. The skill of walking that fine line between ultimate power and uneasy vulnerability in his performance. Truly great.

[@bilrobilbo]

This is just brilliant. Pure emotional pearls in lyrics and sound. Why do other people just have to comment negatively, dishing out their life bitterness or vanity, just for the sake of their own overated self-esteem. Who cares about what you think? Who cares about rankings and prizes.This is a fresh and wonderful cornerstone.

[@freddoutch]

we are 'alone in a box of my own' and if we love this and the box then we find the real love and grace to share.thank's there is a place to be realy at home. this is not the end it is the beginning the return to yourself. (another good song,lol)

[@Anna-wc3rl]

I feel really big respect for the connection between playing piano and singing with so many emotions..I'm truly grateful for this man, he's amazing.

[@aai8179]

All I say is thank you, Benjamin Clementine for these powerful words !

[@dvdalbert91]

This song deserves to be heard over and over again. Real artist!

I discovered this brilliant artist when I watched The Morning Show. Couldn't get over how good the song was. I had to know who was singing the song. It took me a while to discover him, but I found him!!! I can't get over how good he is.

[@Ondinehayes1]

Nothing I can say will do this song justice. It speaks for itself. All I have is gratitude.

I have been listening to this song for the last 2 years... can not stop . Bravo!

[@ekleroshock]

+Noah Beiro watch out for his live performances, he's supposed to be back in NY this summer.

[@Petetherip]

Most underrated artist of our times. Pure gold ladies and gents

[@cnitis27]

From mainstream, cover songs, to street performers to Loic Nottet, to Leon Bridges, Benjamin now. I'm a singer and I'm just amazed and envious of the hidden talent that's out there in the cracks of KZbin Everyone one wants to make it big in the industry. Just expressing yourself and being heard is far more important

[@dinomahoney198]

Winner of the Mercury Prize which he dedicated to the people of Paris.Beautiful man.

[@bossy21boogyboogy97]

You are a real artist. Your songs, your sensibility makes my body dance like i never did before. I hope you never change. Thank you.

[@the1umustlove]

This man should have been bigger then who is he is really one of my favorite artists

[@Davidlcorzine]

No modern musician has brought me to tears until I saw his performance on Jimmy Fallon. It wasn't sadness, it was just the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard. What an amazing feeling.

[@yerr7774]

He is AMAZING. He should be recognized more.❤👍

[@ladyprosperity4797]

I listened to this a few yrs ago when i was in a dark place ...it helped me to embrace my feelings...few yrs later I'm here again and I'm now able to see I'm in a much better place ...I'm way passed the eye of the storm ...its true when they say don't give up ...because there is always way better ahead ...just got to keep on going xxx thankyouxxx9xxx

[@naudalyke]

this man is good, speechless. such deep songs and a beautiful voice.

[@jeremiahjohnson1846]

Omg... Most beautiful. Thank you jimmy fallon for exposing us to his powerful music and songs!

[@oliviacreel5502]

Never had someone articulate this feeling so well. I feel this in my bones. It's so painfully beautiful. 😥

[@zaimarlarrain7537]

This man is a jewel. What a beautiful words and sounds to describe such a sad place: loneliness

[@dutilleul1]

Soon after "stumbling" in this sound, I tried to order all his CDs; there was only one available that arrived to me today, about three months after... "At least for now" gathers almost all the tracks that can be heard here on youtube. But - besides a couple or so - none of them can be heard here. Because, as I had anticipated, Benjamin seems unable to give twice to a theme precisely the same colors. Because Benjamin has the rare gift of an exceptional voice endowed with a soul - like Nina Simone, from whom he seems to be a reincarnation. Yes, he plays letting us know that he could also do the way Antony Hegarty does. But he is like Nina in his moods. At 26, he is already a classic for me. I sincerely hope he continues to be able to live up to such a status.

[@lightlight9146]

i cried a lot today because i wonder how i never met this beautiful soul until today. for this i weep and im glad of the man he has been become, He lyrics are my home.

[@dan8495]

I saw him on jools, I still have it recorded and go back and watch it all the time!! It made me sit up and watch when I saw it. Gary Clark jnr was also on that night and he was very good. Good work jools.

[@bwmcr]

That was a great episode. Although that Katy B person was rather underwhelming. But the rest of the groups were golden.

[@nicolasmori6004]

holy shit. Benjamin Clementine, a former rough sleeper who used to busk on the Paris Métro, has won the 2015 Mercury prize. congratulation Man

[@JVieiraJr]

Fabulous!!! Man, u brought me hope in our music during this century again!

[@TeodomirodosSantos]

For real!

[@wetwildwendy]

You should stop bitching about music other people like and maybe turn of the radio and find some music for ya self.

[@JVieiraJr]

[@wetwildwendy]

Cette chanson est chantée avec tellement de cœur qu'elle m'a fait pleurer, elle a quelque chose d'originel et de profondément touchant.

[@LeonardoPassos]

"It wasnt easy getting used to this I use to scream Its not true, that its only when the door is locked That nobody enters Cuz mine has been open till your demise But none had come, well who am I What have I done wrong?"

If I ever listen something that I feel identified with......is this man and his music

[@jacksypher3403]
