It is absolutely that! This and Ben Howard, also performing on Joules Holland. (End of the Affair) you should check it out it, like this performance from Benjamin, is truly breath taking.

You feel less lonely when someone sing the same sorrow...

I adore his timing on this song.

Sometimes music transcends everyday life and lifts you to somewhere higher. This is that moment.

"It's not true that only when a door is locked, nobody enters..." Most powerful line in the song imo, and one that describes what I'm going through right now so beatifully.

same for me

Everytime I listen to him I'm reduced to tears. And I coming back for more. I have tickets to see him at the Royal Albert Hall in October. And I think I'm more excited about that than my holiday to Greece ❤

beautifully honest

He was homeless, the pain and hope he sings about is intense. Wonderful man, wonderful performance

I remember seeing this performance when i was a kid back in 2013, right after i went on my way to school. Listening him now feels the same way it did that morning. I don't know what it is exactly, but the feeling is so deep, so touching. Thank you very much, greetings from Chile.

I think this song truly sums up self inflicted isolation and the inner thoughts that someone thinks to justify doing this when they recluses themselves during depression.

Benjamin Clementine sings with such authenticity that you don't hear the music, you LIVE it. Just beautiful.

Wonderful...saw this dude in Brighton a few weeks ago....absolutely remarkable gig....

One of my favourite performances of Benjamin’s. What he is doing is fearless, and It is exactly what music needs I particularly love the second verse and the way he delivers it. The more and more I listen to his stuff, the more and more I realise the genius of it

It is exactly that. Totally fearless. 100% raw unadulterated passion and talent, and just letting go of any sense of self doubt. And just being truly free and unbound by the weight of life and personal and global struggles. And just performing with all of yourself in that moment. It's so freeing and empowering

@@fuzzhead19 that is such a lovely comment, thanks for writing it. I am currently in the process of finding this level of inner peace with my painting. And you are right, it is freeing and empowering. I’m getting there!

Quasi impossibile spiegare le emozioni che trasmette questa voce.... Semplicemente vera! Clementine sei grande....

This transcends music. Its art and spiritual art at that. "kin love this guy

Thank you random guy with great music taste that recommended this on a website, just thank you so much

It's not a song, it's poetry! Amazing

talented, gifted and moving!

Same for me. I heard him perform on Joules Holland more recently. Same song. And I was in tears after around 10 seconds. He is the piano. I could physically feel every bit of pain and trauma that he was expressing performing that piece. He gives me hope. He gives me the strength to carry on. To be better, and give more time and effort to help anyone who is less fortunate than me. And that can be in any way. So a millionaire might need a different way of looking at something. I'm here for them. Just as much as I am for someone who is destitute with nothing and no one in this world.

No hay palabras, para describir a este hombre y su arte, lo poco que puedo decir es que es sublime, único, etc.

I've seen him live earlier this month, absolutely fabulous. I'm utterly surrendered to his music!!

watched this countless times now since it first aired, never tiring of it. mindblowing performance.

The passion is so amazing. Good to know there is hope for good music.

Incredible, i hear traces of Tim Buckley, Peter Hammill, and some other that spring to mind right now

Interesting to hear you mention Tim Buckley, I need to listen to more of his music (I love song to the siren). The reason why I am commenting on your 4 year old post is - I see similarities between clementine, and Tim’s son, Jeff Buckley. Both have an incredible ability to captivate a live audience in an intimate setting. They are artists... artists in the true sense

This is extraordinary.. Beautiful heartbreaking raw and honest

Honestly love this so much. So happy he’s doing music.

TRUE ART ...How he conveys such Incredible passion is near unique..He is Unique!

WOW! Music, Poetry, art and life in 4mins. This is why i love to explore new music.

Heard all the hype. It's all justified for a change. What a talent!

I absolutely love this song... It sends me on a little journey

his eyes... i cried as hell!

Why am I crying...

Still occasionally watching this since watching that night. Amazing

sublime

What an incredible performance - so powerful.

i felt it, and it was amazing...

Someone asked for the chords, I tried to write them down (corrections are welcome). The verses are F# / F#/Eb / Bbm / Bbm / (left hand on the bass and right hand on the downward arpeggios, third inversion on the Bbm). The chorus is F# / Ebm / B / B / and the "Home" part is F# / C# / B / B /. The bridge at 2:38 goes F# / G#m / Bbm / G#m / C# / three times, with bits of melody on the right hand inbetween the chords. At 3:01, there a B, a C#, and back to the chorus. The ending is just like the verses, fading away on the final Bbm.
