Louis Dunford - Ballad of Benjamin (Official Video)

[@danielmorgan4183]

2024 the first time I have heard this song..what a touching song I can't believe it's a true story of something terrible that's happened to Ben his friend..rip Ben Kinsella

[@robertbraidwood9779]

I'm a 70 year old Islingtonian now living in Norfolk. North Road and the Lion was my local. This song breaks my heart. Too young to die. Louis you do him proud. Absolutely love your music. Never stop. NLFE.

[@liamscullion4191]

This song should be everywhere. Best artist ave heard in a long time class act…. RIP BEN KINSELLA 🙏💙

[@luthersweeney8548]

Louis is an absolute genius. If you listen to the way he plays the guitar, it sounds like a heartbeat. When he says “your eyes finally closed” the heartbeat slows, until it finally stops at the end. This is modern day musical genius.

Alot of people probably dont know that Louis was best mates with Ben and actually was with him the night he died. Its such a sad story and because of his death, it changed the knife crime laws in the UK thanks to his sister Brooke. Great song Louis and Ben won't be forgotten.

[@stephenm8898]

Lol yea mate you're the only one who knows something he's openly spoke about, his mother's spoke about on TV and now he's done a song about. All hail you

@@bobbywanner3104 lol you get me tho mate? I just think it's funny asf when ppl start with 'a lot of people don't know this but..' as if they have access to inside info that nobody else knows and are doing us a solid by clueing us up

[@MichaelJames-cm3ef]

It's one thing to die at such a young age but to witness the premature death of a friend you loved at such a tender age is an experience no young boy or girl needs to live through, then so eloquently sing about it which undoubtedly must of been hard...you sir Mr Dunford should be a household name!! Extremely touching tribute "The ballard of Benjamin" should be released and a no.1, RIP Ben your friend, sister and family have made sure you will forever be remembered.

[@garyway2422]

👌😥💔 can so relate to this.... my pal got stabbed n killed when we were 19 in pub ...just different part of North London...now 41 n in tears every time I listen to this .... rip both of em 😥💔💔💔 remember driving past following day seeing all flowers bless him rip Ben kinsella

[@ellenogrady9791]

How have I never heard about this guy before. Absolutely incredible. Rarely songs come along that hit you like this.

[@belindasmith7096]

Louis has such a special, unique talent. He sings with genuine emotion, especially in this brilliant song.

[@alex_gk5]

If yku ever want to see if theres something wrong with you, give this a listen and see how you feel. Every single time i hear this it brings me to tears, especially if you know the story. RIP Ben and fair play to Louis for sharing this part of him with all of us. Be lucky 🔴⚪️

[@Hammy-nw9gz]

First time listening ❤ rest easy ben❤

[@watkins8256]

I remember this incident years ago. We should never have abolished the death penalty, only way you can obtain true justice. The pain his family went through and continue to go through must be difficult to carry with them. Great song.

[@ianp7206]

Why has no record company released this song 1000% would sit at number 1 for months !

[@gazmcbroom2441]

Same here, just came across it trying to play Jerri cinnamon covering catfish and the bottlemens cocoon and this came up on an advert, usually I'd tap tap tap off the ad but it hooked me pal, greetin listening to it, lost ma mate Gary Patterson 21 years ago to a knife through the heart trying help someone, now the guy he lost his life helping is a junkie. Lost his life for nothing so he did. Love you all who have shared a tear in this song x

This song is just the most beatiful aong and the only thing we can say is that it is full of emotions … sadness, rage, regrets, and every time I listen to it I think about all the boys that died on the streets of London because now we all know one kid who has been stabbed … RIP Ben

[@6sausage9]

So moving and powerfully written then sung with real emotion. Class act, did Ben proud, hope this touches at least one person and discourages them from carrying a knife or just being violent in general. Only stumbled across Louis in May 22, will be listening and sharing.
