His music gets me every time, i somehow always end up at ben howard. He's where i go when i'm happy, sad, lonely no matter what i'm feeling his music gets through to me, you can just feel every word and emotion. It takes me to a different place like nothing else can. His music is something special and touching, something i'm attached to. When i listen to him there is nothing else, his music fills me up and it solves everything, just for that moment. This seems like just a long rant, but if you close your eyes and really listen, you'll understand where i'm coming from.

When the live version is better than the studio version - it’s a true musician you listen to😉

I used to live in Australia and would drive 40km to work every day and on the way home after a long shift I’d have the windows down and sing this song and the album with all I could.. oh the memories now.

I severely regret not seeing this man live

This man brought me out of my grave. Thank you for everything.

This is one of those epic performances that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up - Ben is the real deal when it comes to making musical art - Such a beautiful song of love and pain - it moves me to tears and if you can't feel it then check to see if you have a heart...

Goddammit, that's how my summer passed... she was in the kitchen, I didn't always listen that closely because she talked a lot. It felt like peace at last. Now she's gone to chase that greener grass. I've almost forgotten how close we were. It's amazing how something so deep can end so quickly.

Unfortunately it's in the sense of forgetting how lucky you are to be where you are. You get complacent, you are distracted, you don't pick up the little beautiful things. "Skipping dancing eyes at the bedroom door", "I wasn't listening",

I friggin love the way this song builds, and suspends, this guy writes for drummers, he knows how to hang the rythym.

Judging by the little amount of comments on this video compared to views I can only conclude that nearly everyone was left speechless

Seen Ben three times and one was a very intimate pre tour practice at Bristol Uni. The guy is simply awesome. I miss India Born in his line up, her haunting voice and cello added even more depth. After nine Glastonbury’s and a lifetime of live music at almost 62 I have never seen a better live performer.

After Jeff Buckley, this man is the best hidden gem.

Oh, hey I wasn't listening I was watching Syria blinded by the sunshine strip And you, you were in the kitchen Oh, your mariner's mouth The wounded with the wounder's whip And that's how summer passed oh The great dividing range of green, green grass Oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew Hello love, my invincible friend Hello love, the thistle and the burr Hello love, for you I have so many words But I, I forget where we were Oh, hey I wasn't listening I was stung by all of us The blind leading out the bored And as per usual You were skipping and laughing eyes at the bedroom door "Don't take it so seriously, no Only time is ours, the rest we'll just wait and see!" Maybe you're right, babe, maybe Oh, no, and that's how summer passed Oh the great dividing range, the green green grass And, oh, maybe I hold on fast to you Hello love, my invincible friend Hello love, the thistle and the burr Hello love, for you I have so many words But I, I forget where we were I, I forget where we were I forget where we were I forget where we were Oh, no, and that's how summer passed Oh, your, great dividing range, the green green grass Oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew

This song transports me back to a lost love. Music is a vessel of memories 😢

Sweet, sweet melancholy...such an amazing performance

His jools performance was sublime. Thank God the BBC know how to produce sound. Perfection by Ben, tha band and the set up.

I remember watching this live in 2014. Things were so different back then. This was a beautiful moment 💙

The best thing about pure raw talent is that this amazing music we have just listened to came from nowhere. It's not a repetition of what others have created. It's something new and now it's here to stay, forever!!!! Thank you!!!!

Probably watched the Ben, 100 Times! Mutha.....of fantastic music!

I can only listen to this song once in a while, It's so straining I get exhausted by it

flying out to amsterdam to see this guy play in december, he's ridiculous

This man, i have no words to describe what his music, his voice makes me feel. Such an amazing artist. Thank you Ben. :)

This man brings this man to tears his music straight from deep within 💓

jeez this guy just gets better every time i listen.He's so talented, but as has been said the most under rated, he should be a household name, but hey it's cool when the rest finally catch on we can say we knew all along.

Quite simply one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and heard. Stunning.

This song haunts me it’s perfect ❤

Counting down to the 20th, Can't wait until his album drops :)

True Music... Ben Howard is a LEGEND.

This man is a treasure to music... One of the best musicians I've ever listened in my life.

This song is too beautiful!

Guitar teacher : "Ben, you're playing the guitar all wrong. You're holding it strange" Ben : "...no u." -_-

So unglaublich gut! Freu mich auf das Konzert am 24.11!

I love this man. His music gets me everytime. And whenever I hear a new song of his I never get disappointed

In tears listening to this ..I hope someone I once loved is too ...

There's always one person who has to dislike even the best songs. This is my favourite song of the year, still just as awesome with each listen!

Ben and his band are absolutely amazing,pure perfection...

Im glad I found you .what a song

How can you be human and have so much talent like that..?! Amazing !

True talent

This guy is something else very unic

Piece of art!

robert smith of the cure used to play his guitar like that

He's a rarity

I want to crawl inside the music.
