Played on repeat 3 weeks when i lost my grandmother. She was the sweetest person that ive ever known.

No words can express the way I feel when I'm listening to ben's songs.

Nobody creates atmosphere like Ben Howard. The Burgh Island EP has such a distinct tone and mood, especially this track. There’s something transcendent about it.

This was playing in the movie theatre before the show started. Glad I discovered it. Music for the soul. Deeply touching.

lyrics, instrumental, everything every ben howard song is like a masterpiece this guy is a fkin genius

Love Monica Heldal's voice. Wish they sang together more. ❤

I’ve been listening to your music since I was about 12 and I’m nearly 24 now. Bens music has giving me guidance in this mad world we live in💙

Such a beautiful piece of music and especially love the way it builds up into the final vocal section… will always be one of my all time favourites.

everytime we drive over the crest of the hill and see Burgh Island standing there it takes my breath away ... everytime

The second part is outstanding... I'm speechless

Go to burgh island a lot. This song always comes in my head when I'm there and I get shivers. Ben Howard.. Favourite artist

I never thought I would use the word perfect to describe something but this is the definition of that word

This EP is what sets him apart from most of the artists these days...the fact that he can go in such a different direction and still maintain the emotion connection his songs have is truly amazing. This is a much more mature sound than his previous album and hopefully it is only a glimpse of greater things to come.

I really don't know how to express how I feel when I Iisten to this. It's like happy, nostalgic, lonely yet peaceful. It's just beautiful.

Benjamin John Howard, your music is perfection incarnated in sound. You are ALL I listen to. Genius. Simply genius. HUGE FAN! :)

It's a pure harmony for my ears.

Only listen to Ben Howard these days, what else is there that feels like this?

Dam so close to ending it all.. And this makes me think of all that can be achieved with one life, pure and emotional well done Ben. Picked you up in my taxi a few years back. Hope all works out 4 everyone

Not sure where all these comments are coming from. But here in South Florida nobody knows Ben. I discovered Ben and crew on Austin City limits back in 2019 and have been completely c9nsum3d by his music. A true genius and compassionate soul

Some of the best moments of my life have been listening to Ben's Music. I remember being at a party and all of my friends even once I wasn't close to were just speaking to each other it was soo nice and peaceful. Also I am quite an early riser and I cant think of anything better than watching the sun rise and listening to Ben's Music he is so inspiring.

When Monica starts to sing, it makes me ache. Sometimes I feel like my exterior, my body, my skin -I feel like it’s a cage. But on the inside, beyond my bones, I feel like there’s a frenzied, hungry bird that’s pecking at my insides, crying and trying to rip its way out from this cage. I want my life to change. I want to go on an adventure. I want to travel so I can feel things and change and grow. Thank you, Ben, for making my wanderlust burst through my veins.

❤❤❤ Questa canzone meravigliosa accompagna la mia anima in mondi lontani... È magia... È pura magia!!! 🎶🎶🎶

When listening to this song it feels I’m hearing someone told me a poetry of life how fragile our feelings can be.

These lyrics are mesmerising. I can't fault anything about this song. This is music at its finest.

Listening to Ben Howard is liken to having a spiritual epiphany, 👏👏!!

been listening to ben howard alot recently, i am ashamed to say i only heard of him last year and his tracks have echoed through the memories i have made for myself, i go mountain biking alot and he is all ive been listening too while driving down to the forests, its amazing how a song can take you back to good times.... i will continue to listen to his tracks and make more memories!

I love this........ Met Ben two weeks ago, a true lad! Living life to the fullest....!

With brown eyes shining, a sure light on a way to go And the sun chides you're reeling home, against your glow And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold And your eyes screamed it, Burgh Island, in sepia tones And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go That you're the best woman I ever known With brown eyes shining, a sure line on a way to go And the sun chides you so long And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold And we'll break for it, on Burgh Island in sepia tones And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go That you're the best woman I have ever known Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin 'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child The wind blew in Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin 'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child The wind blew in

Burgh island is at Bigbury on sea south hams devon, its lovely surf shack great place to visit beautiful x

Of course an album can be full of songs like these. Not every album has to have an upbeat song within. If he can create beautiful dark, cold songs such as these then i'd buy a full album of them straight away.

I love that he keeps changing his sound and is not afraid to try something different. I've seen him several times and he is always adding new songs and sounds. Its impressive

Ben Howards music just makes me so happy, he is a musical genius.

Wow!!! Now I believe that perfection exists...

Is it just me or do you guys listen to Ben when your feeling down and just want to let out the tears you have been holding in while your locked up alone.

puissant et envoûtant, l'univers musical et la voix de Ben Howard nous transportent !

burgh island is a fantastic place to be a live by.

This might be his best song yet. Haunting. Monica Heldal makes this song, without her vocals it would not be anywhere near as powerful as it is. Amazing.

Favourite song of all time!! Love Ben Howard

wonderful chillin music, and we live here!! xx

my goosebumps have goosebumps.

The girls voice in this is amazing :O

"Oh your, brown eyes shine a, sure light on the way to go"

I’ve loved this man since I was able to love, he’s just something else. Incredible.

So beautiful. I was shown him ages ago and I listened to just one song 'The Fear' then one day I listened to all his songs and now my favourite changes every other week. 'Black Flies' is my all time fave 'I think' but now this E.P has arrived I'm sure it'll change. It's a lot darker but still Ben all over. I'm a bit in love with the man!!!

and if ever to leave I'll say before I go your the best woman I've ever known, best part of the song to me, it's perfection. That, and him and Monica harmonizing.

I love this so much, makes me feel so calm 💕

So beautiful. A rainy day on a windy beach:)

Timeless.

I've been in the music industry for over 10 years and i've heard some of the greatest musicians that have ever graced this planet. Every time I hear the soulful voice of Ben it astounds me, what a talent! I remember the first day I heard 'Old Pine' and his song writing ability was mesmerising. Cannot wait for the next album and look forward to whatever Ben gives us next

yet another amazing piece.... legend of a man. Even better live !

He gives me chill, I can't believe a man can be so depth at only 25 years old. It is always a gift to listen to his music.

Ben is the first artist ever to never get me bored. you know how some artist you just get bored of the song? ya well Ben isnt one of them.. I could listen to his music forever and never get bored because we know that he enjoys it and that we enjoy it. :) BTW come to San Diego again!

I just discovered him... and I am SO happy about the amount of songs he already has. I'm obsessed.

The reason why i found this song is because one of a person i know at my school did this song in our show case and it was beautiful and he did an amazing job signing and playing the electric guitar . Now I'm in love with this song

Didn't think he could another song that I'd like as much a Promise but this one is probably my favourite so far. Although I did love "London" from an earlier E.P but can't order it anywhere.

This is heads and shoulders above his older stuff, and that was pretty fucking fantastic! This is spectacular.

And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go, that you're the best moment I've ever known..

That's good. I feel a part of this scene. As, I used to go Surfing near Burgh Island. And . My dad plays lots of traditional instruments . There's groups on Facebook that connect Bantham surfers and I was always in awe of those guys who could ride The Point Break by the river. Top turning and bottom turning on those little Thruster boards the adv ... oh out of time.

Did anybody stay for the piano part?

One of his best!

this song is so nostalgique for me

Honestly, I wish Ben Howard stuck to songs like the ones on this EP. I absolutely love every song.

TWD brought me here, but his awesome music has kept me here.

ben n his group deserve all the success they get, not normally my type of music like but i've pritty much fell in love with his music. keep it up benny boy

Ugh I love this, I can always feel so much emotion in his voice

My heart broke into a million pieces when Monica started singing :/

Ill love Ben's music to the end no matter Acoustic or electric his music is his music and i respect that! :)

This song gave me hope many times, now when my life is stable i can really enjoy it ❤

Listen this song again after yearss what a masterpiece 👏 ❤

Oh Ben, your voice and music touches me in such deep way. I've experienced so many beautiful moments out in nature and your music always witnessing them..

So good!! Been waiting for this since I saw him play it in Montreal .

i have no words for the amount of feelings Ben gives me, truly an amazing artist in love with him

If we didn't have this what would we do?

Goosebumps!!! Simplicity and beauty in music. x

She is amazing

Possibly my favourite song of his

open my window, open my soul..good song

Living in Southern California and having his music around me means nothing but magical gifts. LOVE HIM. LOVE HIM. LOVE HIM.

Monica heldal fits his style perfectly, mesmerising!

omg omg omg i love it i love it i love it. everything i have heard by this man i have loved.

This was the first song I heard from Ben. Was playing a Manchester Orchestra playlist shuffle and as soon as I heard that initial guitar rhythm I knew I had to check him out. It's like its music for my soul. My favorite artist now.

I just had to grab my Cello and jam to this spontaneaously. Thank you, Ben, for this wonderful experience!

1 million+ views and I'm pretty sure 950,000 of them are me... favourite song for me by far :))))

Going to Burgh Island on the 12th July :-)

Ben's music relaxes me so much, i love it my god.

ABSOLUTELY UNREAL. THANK YOU BEN HOWARD and THE GANG, and thank you earth for having such an environment that inspires these amazing sounds.

This song is beautiful its like taking a look into ben howards soul. It so smoothh, and i love it.

i listen to this every night. Something about being tired and listening to beautiful music brings all my emotions out

this is the best ep released in 2012...! so calm, so beautiful and touching! I don't have words to describe the amazingness of those songs!

You are truly gifted. I absolutely love your music. Amazing stuff

Looooooveee this song. When i first heard it i cry, its so emotional

This song melts my heart and mind and soul many blessings 🙏

Ben such a beautiful soul full artist x

Well said :) The depth to his lyrics seem unending, and allow everyone to find the meaning they're looking for.

Saw Ben perform this live for one of the first times at the Vic here in Chicago!! I was swoon along with everybody I was with. Ben, you are truly amazing, and one of the very few artists who I would consider better live than digital.

Saw this live in Manchester last night, i cannot get over how talented this man is. I love this song as it shows his voice veriations reflecting acctually how good a musician he is. I am in love with the difference of the new EP which excites me for his next album. I also think that it is an inreadible achievement that Ben can play both electric and acoustic so succesfully! Such a beautiful song.

This makes me cry. In a good way :)

this song is absolutely beautiful, one of my favourites of the Ep :)

I fall asleep every time I listen to this beautiful creation!

this song is just pure peace to me... i go to a place, witch i wont say and this song just takes my mind and puts me pure at ease
