Radical Face - Always Gold (Live)

[@kylefox2060]

My only older brother died four months ago. We were only 18 months apart. This song speaks to me on so many levels. We really were tight knit boys. We did everything together. When we grew up we got an apartment together, and every few months we would have a huge blow up, and he would leave, and no joke, but about every three months he'd come back and I would of course let him back. As kids I was always the "good kid." No drugs, good grades, but my brother was kinda the "fuck up," but to me he was a hero. He was gold. I don't think this song is about the actual loss of a brother, but more of the distance that came between them, but I guess that's what great about art. It's open to interpretation. This song means so much to me.

[@malelugo8926]

lo lamento tanto, que en paz descance

[@mariapownall741]

You are an amazing person and I know how you feel. My little sister was a month old when she died. I hardly even got to meet her. I'm sorry for what happened to your brother. And you have an amazing voice.

[@NawDawgTheRazor]

My condolences. I hope your brother is at peace, wherever he is. Losing someone close like that is always life changing, but the bond between true bros is often contradictory, enigmatic, but also stems from deep love and especially strong, because not only are you family, but also contemporaries, unlike with your parents, and able to relate to each other. We all have someone like that, that no matter what they did, even if you don't agree with it, you always try to understand because for some reason, they'll always be gold to you. Fair winds to you my friend.

[@quiggaxx]

I lost my older brother two weeks ago..almost identical story, everyone knew I was the straight and narrow type while he was always getting in trouble..He was the only sibling I have that I was actually really good friends with..so he was definitely always gold to me..I already loved this song before hee died, but now the song has so much more meaning..I feel your exact pain brother, my condolences

[@Abdmash1]

Sorry for your lost! I’m quite sure he’s in better place 💙🙏🏻 R.I.P

[@CassandraMonsterrr]

You were always gold to me, Ben.

[@XXXPUBLICENEMY]

Would you marry him haha

[@frankieakhi]

you are the future, my friend. don't ever stop

[@justjosh93]

indie folk is music that people listen to not because its massively popular but because its real it has emotions and genuine musical talent so yes he may not be getting a billions views but I guarantee the people who do listen and love his music appreciate much more then just a "song" people would listen to say on radio one or any frequent chart topper.

[@lizbeth.gonzalez]

100% still agree with this statement 9 years later. Indie folk is the only genre that makes me feel life itself. Will always be my favorite

[@mishaymusic]

He writes music. All of these "famous" people usually don't write there songs ex. Justin Bieber, Niki Manaj, Rihanna.. and all of that crap.. this guy is brilliant and he isn't doing this for fame..he just enjoys writing and what I love about his music is that is so beautiful and unique. You don't know what you're talking about.. I mean yea everyone has different music taste but his voice is amazing and beautiful. He is becoming more known and that's what he deserves.

[@PyramidHACK]

He just looks so adorable, and innocent, and huggable!

[@Aaron-vr4yr]

This is pure gold.

[@uwumachine2658]

Aaron Alphonsus nice pun

[@kaangoksular8990]

Our music tastes change as years go by, but Always Gold is one of the songs that I will listen to until my last breath.

[@ymmothnambridge9743]

This song gives me chills,and is the inspiration for me to purchase a DSLR and make a film with the song playing in the background.

[@christophecarpentier9797]

...And pumps amazing energy in simple words, hammers simple chords to raw perfection, and spreads an amazing presence with only a guitar - and a straw hat. His live performance of Glory in New LA, 2011, is enough to illustrate a quote from St Exupéry: Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

[@quiggaxx]

if you saw that look when he finished , he was off to the place in his head that inspired this song , and it took a second for him to come back..Love it..this song is purely from the heart , and thats why its as fantastic as it is

[@brncole]

One of the best songs I have ever heard. Your creativity just never stops. I have been a fan since electric president and I'm loving all the new stuff with radical face. Keep it up man and visit the west coast sometime!!!!

[@tjlinw]

Even you don't like his voice, please RESPECT!!!!! And I can also say you don't know what real music is.

[@euroamerican92]

This is just him, doing one take, with no audio modifications. Famous singers don't actually tend to be chosen for their singing abilities, but for their dance moves and stage presence. HIs voice might not be stellar, but because he writes his own lyrics, it has far more depth than 90 percent of the artists out there.

[@tylergayheart3265]

It’s been a whole year since my best friend’s suicide and this song moves me to tears every time I hear it... it’s beautiful and painful all at once....I haven’t been ok at all since that phone call but this piece of artwork is very cathartic.

[@mkl5448]

Outstanding version of an outstanding song.

[@TheGabrielChaves]

There's no way to described, how this song makes me fell. Congratulation by your performance. keep doing this great job.

[@LNB28]

this is an anthem! Come to Brazil!

[@NawDawgTheRazor]

This song is nothing other than distilled heartbreak, cri ever tim.

[@BaardMoeder]

February 1, i was there. it was the most astonishing concert if ever been.

[@golougo]

I can watch/listen this man sing all day, everyday. Just beautiful!

[@NawDawgTheRazor]

I love Ben's reaction at the end, it's like he forgot where he was for a second, being lost in the music and thought, and realized and was like "hm, yeah that was okay." lmao

[@gonzaloallende969]

Truly beautiful

[@samshah32]

dude you crushed it

[@vivekvardhan7860]

His voice is soulful! :)

[@ununhexium]

[@mayol006]

Magic !very good job

[@ladyiswear]

je t'aime

[@nathanbogart3191]

It's disheartening that the top two comments on this video involve the word "idiot." It's quite sad when music becomes something not to be shared, but to be utilized as fuel for one's own self-glorification. The mentality of "I know good music, you're tastes are below me" has become far too widespread. May we quiet ourselves and enjoy the serenity of this song.

[@vision112]

ROFL! You explained exactly how he wants his music to be. He likes his music RAW. His live takes are unedited. He knows his voice isn't American Idol winning quality. It adds to his style and fits absolutely perfectly. And if you knew anything about him, money and fame is the least of his desires. Making music in a shed with his friends is what he desires. He's probably the LEAST fame/money oriented musician out there. He plays and records music for us because he loves to do it.

[@JoenMusic]

And by comments like this we can conclude that you are one of the millions who don't really understand what music is about..

[@breeella3264]

I'm in love

[@shelbygomez7620]

exelent !!! amazingg (Y)

[@dishantgoyal740]

OMG !!

[@CritiquingCricket]

Welcome Home has about 15 million now :D Anyway. Really love this song!

[@rizalirfani]

♥️🌞✨

[@Викторнизовой-ж6з]

Божественно!

[@incestiside2143]

yayz, ty, this helped me alot :))

[@peterwalker6441]

Anyone 2019 listening ?

[@Dvipe19]

I really love the pattern in the intro but as much as I watch this video and look for tabs I can't seem to get it down? Anyone have it tabbed out?

[@missinglink20]

the ending is great he just looks and shrugs "yea... that will do "

[@pepebvelez]

I hope you are having a great day

[@kothischannel]

Oh my god you are so beautiful.

[@michaelfuzzy5037]

radical face is real music. i feel sorry for the people who dont know indie folk. too busy listening to rap and dubstep.

[@PyramidHACK]

He must be the shy-est person ever. So adorable, lol.

[@christophecarpentier9797]

Have you, by chance, written that down? :)

[@vinkmac]

Fucking Perfect!!! Argh! 😍

[@Daniel-ny8vs]

Tabs?

[@makeyourfaith]

i will wager that temptstress666 has a LOT more issues than with this video. Don't take that bullshit. Seriously. Your song is good, i really enjoyed it. just because you weren't belting out the lyrics doesn't mean it should be criticized. The world needs a lot more of you. And i thought your guitar playing was a helluva lot more intricate than most of the crap you see these days.

[@Hwarong]

tabs for intro?

[@HabitsofLife]

Is that a d28?

[@MyNameIsAhj]

looks like C F Am and Em with a capo on 2nd. not sure of the order probably F C F C F C G Am for the verse. if you know the chords you should be able o point em out above otherwise look those up on a chord chart

[@182Taco]

does anyone know the chords to this song?

[@justjeemy5646]

182Taco F C G A for the verse, Am Em F C G for the chorus, and C G Am Em F5 C G for the bridge.

[@guuskentie]

Ehm, one of his songs is in a Nikon commercial -.-

[@Milkcheck1]

Tuning ? pliiiizzzzzzz

[@justjeemy5646]

Milkcheck1 He says in all his tutorials he tunes all his guitars down a half step, so if your tuned standard EADGBE just capo 1st and you’ll be set.

[@MegaSoftCore]

go listen nicky minaj. he doesn't want fame or money he just likes to make music and his songs are beautiful and if you don't like it don't listen to it easy right? i know!

[@nathanielsmith1008]

You realize he just played Sasquatch, right? I'd like to see you do so.

[@HarryM]

Wow.. Apparently you don't know who Ben Cooper is lol!

[@voolverham]

not all musicians play for fame and money mate :) else you'll see them on every show on TV all the time :)

[@TheManWithThaFace]

"No one take offense to any nasty comments, its just my ex bf fucking around. He likes to fuck with people. Sorry bout any hurt feelings." - from temptstress666's channel. Just thought it might change a few things. For example, NO ONE ACTUALLY HATES RF!!! :D Fuck yeah.

[@oloftengstrom4261]

Please... Show the tabs. Cant see how you are fingerpicking this song. You pick to fast >.<

[@eahs07]

music is not about fame and money for everyone...

[@infernapeDLS]

@temptstress666 Says the guitar virtuoso, even if it was few years practice , he still makes more money than you

[@knox140]

On his/her channel they have a playlist of dubstep, so I'm assuming that's the kind of music they listen to.

[@Killtrox92]

what makes his voice "homosexual"? the fact that it sounds amazing?

[@JerDog1984]

16+

[@kelwinshen]

realize but hopeless

[@MegaSoftCore]

There is no real music so stop arguing about it.

[@xxshotxx1]

lol

[@temptstress666]

Hmm... His very homosexual voice is not going to get him all the money he desires and the fame he craves clearly by posting shitty videos on youtube. He is a moderate player, probably a few years practice. And a very low trained voice.

[@shadowlily7892]

I love this song, good job
