This is just absolut awesome. This is the perfect crossover of "old Ben" and "new Ben". Best of both worlds.

Pretty much the only transitions he does nowadays, with music; I started following him and his music over a decade ago, when he (and his original band) had some of the best transitions I'd heard in music for a long time. Now? Not at all.

the song makes much more sense in this version. such a beautiful thing

Elements. ELEMENTS! That's what makes Ben's music special. So many small elements coming from all kinds of sounds of various instruments. Instruments chime in, take a pause, and chime in again. So beautiful!

Brilliant songwriter, brilliant song and brilliant video. What a genius.

Ben Howard is just the goat nothing more, nothing less. Glad that he’s back und happy

Almost makes me cry. "Somedays I'm almost gone babe, back to the beginning of a time". I read about him having mini strokes/or something and I'm sure the thought of passing through goes through his and all of our minds. Love Ben!! And his drummer is so good and fun to watch along with the whole band.

It’s new but somehow, it brings me back. Ben’s art had such an influence on me throughout my life. I’m just glad he does what he does. Band sounds amazing all together.

Gosh, redefining how live performances are recorded. This is art.

I wish Ben released all the songs in the album with the acoustic to electric/synth to acoustic pattern. I'd listen to that all day

Your ability to communicate through music is crazy. Every song is an explosion of emotions.

Love the fact that Ben is literally walking forward in this video. Incredible shot!

am absolutely blown away. gasping aloud in my work office while watching this

I absolutely LOVE this song! Sometimes it's OK to go backwards to move forwards! I can definitely resonate with this song! As I struggle with depression! I just LOVE everything Ben Howard does! One of my favourite musicians ever! His music is so relaxing! Well done Ben! ❤️❤️ I'm getting jazz feels too and chill out lounge vibes! Love love love!

Listening outside with the birds singing “and the whole world sings along” Such a warm song. Feels like home.

Live version again for the win! It sounds incredible and the video is beautiful. Your music is powerful. Listening on repeat already.

This is the best one-take shot ever existed 🖤

Absolutely incredible!!!! SO EXCITED for these new releases.....

Stunning!

This is beautiful. Just made my afternoon!

One of the best songs i've heard in a long time. Looking forward to the album.

This is incredible. Really well shot and orchestrated and a fantastic song.

feeling this ❤ keep going!

There are times when the sorrow and heartache of love's past are so far behind us that we lose the feeling of loss. These times are when our cup of joy is full, calm days, easy days....days when time passes like a silent stream. Enjoy the breeze, the bright glow on your face and the easiness it brings. No mention of storms or futures, every moment is this moment.

No words... just feel it 💙

Beautiful song see this live at the Royal Albert Hall was an absolutely incredible experience!!

One of the coolest vids I've seen in awhile. Ben playing acoustic, going to the band, seeing Kyle, Nat, RD and Mickey tear it up in their shots, and closing off back to the acoustic with the birds in the background Who doesn't adore this?

This is just gorgeous! I loved the studio version and got hooked on that short intro and was anticipating and excited for a more acoustic version, and this is just so satisfying. I love that we get so many versions of his music to enjoy at different moments and moods. Ben Howard is a genius, I'm so happy to have his music in my life

i love this man with all my heart

In a world where everything is seemingly falling apart, I needed this more than I even knew. It's also so nice to come to the comment section and be reminded of how many BH fans there are out there like me. ❤

Absolutely too tier. Inventive, inspiring, hopeful, colorful, textural. So excited for this new album.

Ben Howard bringing great joy to my life once again

Hope Ben will do an acoustic album soon. Just him and his guitar

🖤

The way he sings "cradle" gets me every time.

Man, my life is blessed. Thanks for always reminding me of that Ben and co.

This man can do no wrong

"Just like the moon always returning" at 1:25 gets me so much:)

I love everything about this

Been a fan of Ben for a very long time , a true artist , his music is like a spell

Their he is! Thats the Ben I fell in live with all them years ago...

So happy to see India still there by his side. Love the music these people make.

Sheesh, what a vibe; those bird-sounds just carried it away at the end 👌

Best musician of our generation... So innovative
