For me this was Ben at his peak. He had started to steer away from the mainstream music that had made him so popular to create stuff that he actually wanted to make. This was a sort of halfway house between that mainstream music and the abstract/creative rabbit hole that he has since gone down. His current stuff is above my head and not my cup of tea but I respect the journey he’s on. Would have been all too easy for him to have kept churning out radio-friendly pop songs that he hated and made a fortune. He’s doing what he wants to do and as long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters.

Max Beckett you are right.... I never saw something like that.

It’s 2023, and I still think that this is one of the greatest, most heartbreaking songs I’ve ever heard.

I just cry. 16 wonderful years together. 4 years going through a messy divorce. And less than 7 minutes for Ben Howard to make me relive it all. Took her nephew on as an apprentice at my painting and decorating company. Good lad but it hurts to hear how well she's doing now with her new man. Listen to this on repeat every night when I get home from the boozer. Drunk tears streaming down my face. Sobbing. Nose running. Fists clenched. Head all over the place. Sometimes I get so angry I smash up the living room. Only Ben Howard can do this to me. Cheers.

Drinking doesn't help, I've been there and when we are sober again we are still there facing this pain. Get help my friend, whether that means looking at your activities around drinking or your mental health, or both. People want to help. Friends, family, or complete strangers if that is easier. You are more than the sum of a relationship. I hope you find some peace my friend and reach out here if you ever need a chat. All the best Baz. Don't forget that people want to help and listen.

This song captured my pain coming out of a 5 year relationship (from 15-20) perfectly. We built our young lives together, had the same friends, family… I was young and thought it was the end of the world. It’s still nice to feel that catharsis. The sadness of the first part of the song to the anger and confusion of the latter part. Perfect. Anyone listening for that reason ‘this is desert’ is not true. Give it time. You will be ok I promise.

I don't know why but this song just won't let me go. It's in my head. In my heart. I cannot understand how do you move on from love, how do you even start to do that. How do you cope with losing "us" and becoming just "me" when all you wish for is one more time together, one more chance, a silly joke, or a lazy sunday afternoon in bed together planning that amazing future that will never happen. Heartbreaking, really. But damn - Ben sings about it so beautifully that you almost want your heart to be broken just to relate to this masterpiece.

@Andrew Salter Hardly amateur hour, just very different styles. And of course, not at all comparable. Ben's strengths is his songwriting and storytelling. Something that is very lacking in the modern metal scene.

quite possibly the most powerful live performance ive ever seen. years later i still come to witness it. Makes me feel i am not alone when im in serious pain and the im not the only one struggling. Thank you for that Ben.

Simply love it! 💖

hearts don't break even. This song, this rendition , takes a snapshot of the turmoil , loss and heartache and describes it in 7 minutes and 30 seconds. If you've ever been on the wrong side of it, if you are on the wrong side of it. You'll get through.

I'm in the future. 2034 and this song still rocks 💕

5 years later and I'm still trying to find a better performance than this.

For me he's on another level to any other singer songwriter out there. Everything seems so personal with him. When he's screaming in to the guitar pick up at the end I can feel it. Same with his albums, they're unique and emersive. Unbelievable

If this isn't a work of genius I don't know what is. Absolutely spellbinding.

Ben is light years ahead in his music, every song he has ever produced is outstanding and will be classics in 50 years time. If you doubt me wait and see!

This is UNREAL, no lie, best performance i have ever seen, he uses his instrument in such a different perspective to most musicians. Love this so much! Massive respect

Love the delayed reaction from the crowd after the song.. Needing a moment to land back on earth

I saw Ben live around 7/8 years ago in Manchester at a small(ish) venue. We got to the venue quite early and Ben was stood outside having a smoke. My friends and I approached him and had a great chat with him, took pictures etc.. he later gave us a shoutout in the middle of his set. Truly amazing, and something I'll never forget. I'm just so glad his music grew and is now shared and loved so much by myself and others!

I literally listen to this song every day of my life...

Ben howard has got to be one of the best current lyricist out there, he deserves every award.

Im a hip hop and trap producer and about the biggest apologist for trap music you’ll ever find. That said, this is real music, sound pushed to its limits. This is what should be studied for years to come

This is just art, absolutely fucking incredible !!!!

Let's admit, we always come back when we feel down

9 years on and I’m still struggling to find a performance this stunning. Tugging at my heart strings almost a decade later.

I think we are watching the best musician of our generation right here. It's one thing going into a studio and writing 2 flawless albums, but to create this level of emotion and atmosphere live, is quite special. I felt like I was in the audience. Genius at work!
