__________________________________
Cardinal Sessions was founded in the summer of 2010. They challenge the classic music video and try to replace impersonal footage with immediate and emotional snapshots.
Bands from all over the world with their different genres present their songs reduced to the essence of the musical spectrum - only vocals and unplugged instruments. Due to the spontaneous live-aspect and the approach to record every song without any additional rehearsal, songs emerge that often sound significantly different to their album versions.
We film on locations that the musicians mostly choose by themselves: remote places, frequented streets, parks, woods, fields, bars; nothing is impossible. We have accomplished our goal if the location fits well to the background of the music we and the artists want to present. But our most important purpose is that there are no borders: we film everything that we like, no matter how popular, famous or also unknown a band might be. It is still important for us to support local talents and it will always stay part of our concept.
The Cardinal Sessions team can also be booked: for example to film short documentaries of album recordings, studio recordings or live concert moments that you want to capture.

I´m a 28 year old man who would never cry much. This guy though...his harmonies, his lyrics and his voice are so full of authenticity that it triggers my tears. This man has got the key to my soul. And I don‘t fucking care how corny this sounds.

[@chasingtheunknown3763]

David B. Glad you found him!

[@stepheng4218]

David B. I went to see him live in London a few weeks back and no video or sound does him justice until you hear him in front of your very face. This man is an absolute gift to music and if ever there's a time to sit back and forget about the world we live in it's in the company of this man. If you get the chance(if you haven't already) go see him :) his music reaches a destination within me that can't be described

Only very few can make me really stop whatever I'm doing and really pay attention. Ben is one of those. I'm so glad to stumble upon Tilikum last month. It was heaven sent, I believe. His voice makes me remember the quietest of whispers in the past.

[@Naarmmmm]

Love Ben! He's an amazing singer songwriter💛

[@jillesoom3305]

i really love ben howard aswell!

[@samhenry250]

His voice is spectacular here, new found appreciation for this song!

[@barbaratollidenyszczuk]

I love him so much... one of my favorites artists for sure!

[@devonthehedgehog15]

Benjamin, this song is amazing. First song I've heard from you. Definitely gonna check out your other works. I'm a guitarist and singer myself, and this song is pretty difficult from my learning it. Took me two whole days, and even now it still kinda hurts my hand to play it. Still I love this song. So beautiful and fun to play.

[@MrPink1750]

Mind doing a video tutorial 🙏

[@WHI_Player]

Lovely simple raw emotional song with a exposed heart and free soul thank you.....

[@yoBradyO11]

All of your music makes my soul weep with happiness, sadness and sometimes confusion, all in one. Because i don't know what the hell I'm feeling lately. Thank you for pouring your soul into something that lasts Ben.

[@GravityFair]

A voice that’s even better live and that is rare.

[@hanreality.7266]

The blackbird is amazing, but the singer is better. The combination is magical.

Lyrics I wonder what you're thinking Staring through the rain Going through our baby names Your husband thinks you're sleeping At a motorway hotel He doesn't know tonight you're flying out of hell Be my rose, growing in the cold Be my light in the window at home Be my sun, rising in the sky Be my time bond lover, tonight You're turning on your phone now Your hands begin to shake I'm just across the harbour bridge you say I flew out here to tell you I couldn't hold your pain then Day by day I waited for your heart to melt Be my rose, growing in the cold Be my light in the window at home Be my sun, rising in the sky Be my time bond lover, tonight Be my rose, growing in the cold Be my light in the window at home Be my sun, rising in the sky Be my time bond lover, tonight

lol nicholas cage cameo

[@coryheaton6991]

is this song about the killer whale?

[@AlfredHugecokk]

I was asking myself the same question ...

[@imaxdigital7052]

The overdubbed bird sounds in all of these videos is really, really annoying.

[@CardinalSessions]

haha there is nothing dubbed, ever, in our videos. sorry to say, but you're wrong

[@imaxdigital7052]

CardinalSessions Um... No need to be sorry. Well thanks for letting me know. I guess they won't be that annoying anymore. The reason I assumed they were overdubbed is because of how pronounced and clear they are, and in almost all of the Burberry videos it's the same thing. In the Mahogany Sessions and Red Chair Sessions, there aren't any birds. Seems weird.

[@GameorX1122]

i dont know where you're from but birds can be pretty loud

[@imaxdigital7052]

KodackOfficial I'm from the countryside in Northern California where birds can be heard all day and night. I just think it's a bit strange that every single video from every "Sessions" channel sports very loud birds in the background, including in inner city areas.

[@mohdhairi2191]

i guess youre disturbing with birds sound i found its nature and peaceful sound of birds and kinda peaceful place

[@ricardo_vds]

EU teeth though
