"the definition of futility".....simply amazing!!!

[@vidanalyse8525]

Best version on KZbin, thanks! Means a lot

[@matt969]

Saw him do this at Red Rocks. This version is better than the cd version.

[@Sm-iw2vh]

By a mile, the recorded version is in my opinion very flat, no emotion.

[@steveym90]

couldn't agree more - he needs to Dylan it and go electric

[@SnakesNSquids]

Thanks for the upload! I was there too, this was amazing.

yassss

[@liftsnchills]

Yes mate!

[@Jgalicia9]

Is it rookery?

[@Sm-iw2vh]

Great song and can't wait....but worried it will be over produced, I think this sort of song would benefit from being a little more basic, raw.

[@BoogerbaIIz]

@@Sm-iw2vh Ben Howard’s studio music is rarely over produced. I’m not too worried

Birch tree lost its branch one day in violent winter I said, "It was grieving, " you said, "It don't feel nothing" I bet you think everything's in its rightful place That sentiment is man's disgrace Well the rooks in the trees, they don't half bother me Clawing at my mind with every given opportunity It's spring outside A perilous sky and that terrible clattering sound "Go ahead, you should go shoot them down" That's what you said "You should go shoot them down" So hey, that's me Shooting at a hundred-year-old rookery Oh, look at me The definition of futility That's what they'll say anyway Won't they, babe? So I'll go back to working through the gentle hours of the evening Where the weather and the wine and the company treat me easily Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye Unknowing am I of the wind Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye Unknowing am I of the wind

[@elshuffles]

think this tune is called Rooks

[@alexfynney1891]

elshuffles it probably might be; as far as anyone (maybe even Ben) knows it’s untitled.

[@lilwitch186]

Aye peeps over at Reddit call it Birch Tree or Rooks, but i guess it's just called Untitled, as mentioned on the set lists :)

[@jplusm]

From the release of the new album looks like it might be called Rookery!
