Ben Sollee performs Letting Go

[@Chris92881]

"Sometimes things become a part of you. Whether you like it or not."

[@glenhawthorne5982]

Had the pleasure of meeting Ben at a party. Just a great guy who loves and makes beautiful music! Kentucky Proud!

[@baybiestay]

I love this song so much, played it when I was depressed, heart broken and downcast. It helped me heal and now I play it as a triumphant sound. Helped me let go

[@sumaikaghani2817]

Who is this genius? I am so glad I found this beautiful song. Can't stop listening!

[@BenSolleeKY]

Hey... thanks for checking out my music! Plenty of more to be discovered and I hope you enjoy.

[@florinakapitzke7298]

@@BenSolleeKY Moves my soul. I connect when you hear honesty in the voice. Regardless of writer, if it rings true, ah.. the sweet spot. It gives reassurance that other have put words and set to music thoughts I shared. Reassurance and resonance.

[@MJ-mp1fx]

I LOVE this song. There's something about that resonates with my soul, like a tuning fork.

[@whooopmaaike]

I always come back to this one right here

[@seanstewart9362]

Words cant describe the way this song makes my soul feel ❤😊. I feel asleep watching killing Season, and i wake up hearing that beautiful melody and then "Let it go" i swear i was in a trance! I have listened to this song 6 times in a row now. It's therapeutic. 💯

[@meko3089]

That part about the falling leaf 🍂 was pure genius. You’re a young bob Dylan

[@ianbruce-douglas7270]

As a musician and recording artist, I actually listen to the music when I watch a vid. As I listened to the music over the credits at the end of "Killing Season", "Letting Go" came on and my ears perked up. "Who-the-hell is this guy?" What a concept: a solo cello with vox! So, luckily, the producers were kind enough to include the credits for the music...and I became a new fan of Ben Sollee...even if he’s young enough to be my grandson! I will be listening to more of his stuff because, in a word, he’s brilliant! Evidently, there’s some hope for contemporary music after all! Hurrah!!!

Same here.

Grow up.

[@johnstinchcomb8156]

I'm 53 and have found a lot of my favorite music/musicians in the last 10 - 15 yrs or so. Ben's one. There's a lot of wonderful music being made by young & not so young musicians today. I wish I were 25 again just so I could be around to hear what's to come.

[@chandimalranjanperera7521]

Amazing ❤️👍 I watched the film of Killing Season. Its a part of sensational music journey with the Nature ! We are without any attachments ! Let it go ! Thanks Ben 🌹

[@hayley9546]

i could seriously listen to this for hours holy shit he's so good

[@Pilobolus]

Once again, Ben! So up lifting. Thank you. Can't wait to see make stuff together again!

[@amysheaffer9538]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. ❤

[@thelonepoet1]

Ben you are Amazing this is beautiful music to flow Tai Chi Thank you ❤

[@robbie7638]

One of the great things about living in Kentucky is having heard him live in several venues. But hadn't heard this song until today, when I really needed it. Great talent.

[@babybullsmith001]

A very talented young man

A MASTERPIECE OF ALL THAT IS WHATS HARD TO COMMENT ON..HIS VOICE WORDS AND MUSIC SAID IT ALL.

from the movie 'killing season' i found this gem. very moving song. hope to hear more. great video. thank you.

[@BenSolleeKY]

Thanks for listening and hope to see you out on the road soon!

[@pebouky]

Saw Ben tonight in concert in Cincinnati...It was Awesome!!! he is such a unique musical talent

[@mariateresamaurin805]

Me too, I am your new fan!! Today i was watching the movie ""the killing season"" and then I listened that beatiful song, so, I started inmediatly looking in You Tube, for the title and Here I*m!!! Thanks..

[@brandondorrough9003]

Every time I watch this song I get the chills. I met Ben at the Boulder theatre one time and he was not the nicest guy I ever met (I might have been boring out a bit too hard) but it hasn’t changed my love for his music

[@SKBottom]

He could have been having a bad night. Not been feeling well. Family worries. Who knows? If you approach him again at a future date and get the same type of response, then I would say your theory is confirmed.

[@henkbaetsen1884]

Love this song… the groove of the cello and the lyrics go straight into my heart

[@jameswaters5713]

Has to be one of the best songs I've heard in a long time.

[@iceehot404]

Wow, this version is better than the studio version. Awesome song

[@ericheick7044]

Had the pleasure of listening to you on the Ohio River the night of Thunder. Great stuff!

[@KCB.007]

After a workshop I had with him one day, I think I'll start convincing him to start teaching others becuase that day, I was enlightened by his unique style; his music is brilliant! I honestly haven't seen most of what he's done until I found his music on KZbin but in all regards, keep it up Ben!

[@bonnievermeulen8550]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Its deep, thoughtful and beautiful!

[@chrisweber723]

So impressed by this man.

[@christopherbullock6205]

Congratulations landing this song on Killing Season! Thats great for all of us songwriters, thanks! This song deserves so many words of appreciation, I couldn't succinctly express just how much this composition plucks at my heart strings. I think the most notable aspect of this song is the inherent humanity in each individual performance Ben Sollee gives to the world. Each time I see and hear this song it is so warmingly familiar and yet so unique in each performance. Killin' it Ben.

[@silajeep1]

[@alexandermacdougall7605]

I love your voice and your playing style like I didn't know a cello could sound so good. I'm definitely a fan.

[@79soleil]

Alexander MacDougall then you should check cello music out a bit more in depth because, although i love Ben's music, i have to say that a cello can do this and infinitely more, its one of the most beautiful instruments that exist ❤️😉

[@alexandermacdougall7605]

79soleil I totally agree. I've been listening to a lot more lately and it has become one of my favorite instruments. Now to learn it 😂

[@CharlesPlager]

What's the story behind the cello (and its scroll)?

[@StephenSchauer]

Charles Plager From what I remember, it was an old "Kay" brand cello (originally sold through Sears I think) that he found broken, took to a respected luthier and had revived. That's the original headstock, i believe. He actually calls the Instrument "Kay".

[@legaleagle2004]

That scroll is off a knilling porta cello, probably not original I've never seen them on a regular cello. No telling when it was put on there but it looks good.
