I'd be devastated if i lost my ears.

Man I love your music, it gives me joy when I am happy and helps me out when I am sad. That spirit you put in your songs, I just want to tell you - people can sense it.. Please do more music. Thank you

Ben Howard is so much more interesting than other acoustic artists. Love the dark nuances in his style.

A true artist a real talent. It's refreshing for a musician to come back after a critically acclaimed debut album with an achingly beautiful piece of music. A piece of music that radio stations will think is too long to play, a piece of music you know he loved and crafted over rather than conforming to record labels or success.

Welcome Back Mr. Howard!

The end of the affair The weight of a war The kindness gone to bed The weight of your laughter Alive in the hall Did he hear, did he hear the fumbled words you said Living without her Living at all Seems to slow me down Living forever Hell I don't know Do I care do I care the thunders rumbled sound And now I watch her Running round in love again Now I talk about you When I'm with our mutual friends The end of the affair The weight of a war The kindness gone to bed The threat of your laughter Alive after all Did he hear, did he hear the fumbled words you said Living without her Living at all Seems to slow me down Living forever Pale light on all Do I care, do I care the thunders rumbled sound Now I watch her running round in love again Now I talk about you when I'm with our mutual friends Could you be, could you be alone? My hatred, my hate will bring me closer This is it? Well this is desert And what of him? What the hell love What the...

Is anyone else obsessed with this man? His music is so..!! I can't describe it. I just.. I.. Cause he's.. He's so.. And the music? Ugh.

Not all music is art, but that's the kind of music Ben Howard makes; masterpieces.

I'm in love with the way this song goes on. Started with calm, but still sad feeling, finished with fury. It's like a curtain that hides his furious, devastating feelings behind clearly calm, controled lyrics, which he meant for people around him.

Not a lot of music makes me feel happy, sad, angry and excited all in the same track.

Glad to see Power brought some much deserved attention to Ben Howard, so underrated, so talented. What I ask of you, my friend is to browse around, you won't regret it.

This song brings up so many emotions in me Not many musicians have the power to do so in every song yet Ben Howard never fails a real talent and a must see live

On repeat.

Man, why doesn't stuff like THIS play on the radio?

this song makes me feel so many deep emotions. I love what Ben Howard's voice does to my brain!

This. A pair of good headphones. Dark. Silence. Thoughts. Can these drive you crazy?

Just when I thought you would not surprise me you made this. A true artist a real talent.

The most beautiful thing a man ever created on this planet

I don't know why but... by listening to this song, it gets me thinking of who i really am ... very strange, but nice!

This song live is absolutely spellbinding. A true beauty to witness.

Oh Ben, (insert appreciative sigh here). How thankful I am to have another earnest, well crafted narrative stream from your soul to mine. I sincerely thank you for sharing your astounding talent with myself and the world, for what a bleak world it would be without your unadulterated vocals and distinctive strumming.

damn Ben, i can't imagine a single day without your music !!

Ben Howard's music is what emotions sound like. If you could literally translate emotions into something tangible, it would be a Ben Howard record. I've never felt so strongly listening to music. Nothing compares to his work. It's incredibly beautiful.

Ben Howard is the greatest artist to ever walk this earth

Very "Burgh Island". Amazing.

My mind and soul were shouting 'we need something new from Howard'. My mind and soul are both now pleased.

I wonder if Ben ever reads these coments...An artist can really see what people think of their music...unlike ever before....love you man

That moment when you realise how long this song is, having been so lost in the music. Ben Howard's music really is unbelievable! His voice and how he works his instruments is comparable to magic.

The direction he's taken: so unexpected, so right up my street! Can only thank you Ben.

Flawless.. I can't begin to explain how perfect this is.

Was singing along to this at somersault festival and got congratulated by someone for loving ben howards stuff more than he did.. been waiting for this since for 3 whole months

Just close your eyes and listen. Ben is a genius.

Powerful song heard it on power during the closing scene. I was haunted by the song and the emotional ending of the episode.

Just heard the radio program on bbc 1. Amazing! Finally the wait is over, worth it tho! I love how Ben don't care about fame, he does his own thing and take chances. Respect!

Its nice to be able to actually hear the official audio instead of the struggle of listening to live performances where there are hundreds of people talking over him

Power brought me here...This song gives me goosebumps. So deep, makes you evaluate your life. Damn...a song made me reevaluate my life...You've gained a new fan BH.

This feels like a sunset over the Ocean and the stars slowly appearing throu a dark blue sky, and then you breathe it Alllllll out as you watch the world and universe in awe! Anyone else think he creates poetry through music?

Only just started listening to this and I feel like crying. True and pure, Mr Howard x

Been listening to this for weeks. LOVE IT

The emotion and passion in these lyrics are so amazing. I love this song.

4:48 absolutely blows my mind. This is incredible.

That drop in the middle has got ibiza sunset written all over it. What a phenomenal tune. Just has everything. Best artist in the UK by a country mile

Describing Ben Howard as anything less than a living God would be an insult to his person.. So amazing..

The more i listen to this album (every day), the more i find something new hidden in each song. The lyrics, and musical brilliance has outdone 'Every kingdom' in my opinion. Cannot wait to hear Ben in Cardiff in afew months! LYRICAL GENIUS!

Ben Howard is so underrated, geez.

There are not enough words to describe the love I have for this song. It was definitely worth the wait.

This tune is perfect. The guitar and the vocals just feed off of eachother, and every note has meaning.

Thank you, Ben.. Forever the greatest artist

I just had a minor heart attack when I saw this in my sub box. Oh my God, I can't wait for the new album, I've been replaying the old songs for 2 years now.

Power brought us here, just a beautiful yet sad track!

Saw this song live last week, blew my mind, first concert ive ever been too aswell and first song he played, what a epic song to have as my first live song to see ever

I genuinely can't put into words how much i love ben howard!, cannot wait till October, followed him from the beginning and will continue to for the rest of my days. His talent is one of a kind!!

Ben Howard has got to be America's best guitarist right now. And Ben Howard and Gregory Alan Isakov have got to be the best musicians in this country today. Listen to their albums and you will agree.

I love that twist when the aggressive desperation sets in..

I went to see him when he was touring in Glasgow. The way he played this song was phenomenal - when he hit the 4:47 mark I was actually too grounded to do much but gape in awe. Definitely my favourite band and musician of all time. If you have the chance to see him live, do it. It's a religious experience.

So much more than a song! Did not believed my ears when i saw them playing it life. Thank you Ben and all the others for creating this great music!

Reminds me of Foals a bit. Still a great tune, can not wait any longer for the album!

This is how you write a song..jesus brilliant

Ben, imo you are the most underrated artist in a lifetime - but you've been the most important in elevating mine...

With my ears I am lifted and cradled like a tiny bird so entirely am I cared for that as the music plays I am filled with beauty and set to the skies again........thank you Ben for you give the gift of flight my friend.....

Beautiful. Waited so long for this and he hasn't failed to deliver perfection. Love him.

just got done watching power. heard this song at the end of the episode, quickly brought out the Shazam app... That moment was so intense, felt both their pain.

This song helped me accept and be happy about what has happened so that I could become the man I am today.

Power def brought me here, and how it brought back memories kept me here.

Same. Power bought me here. Who chooses the music for the show? Perfect.Love the song. Love the show.

I hope the rest of the album is like this - cold, dark, weary, so deeply personal. Mmm Ben you are a genius.

FINALLY! at ever concert, the performance for this song tops them all! Goosebumps!

a slow, aching river… tumbling, turbulent waterfall…. drifting away… tumbling again… crashing, gasping coming up for air…breathe, alive...

Enorme, incroyable. Très grand moment de musique. La première découverte de ce morceau reste un moment inoubliable.

When a first listen of a song ends up with tears on your face, because it's just sung straight to your heart: it's more that good, it's bloody brilliant.

Every song on his new album is perfect. Just shows how much of a talented artist Ben Howard is, love him.

Power brought me here too. that scene was heart breaking.

For me, this song will always be a favourite. The delicate melancholic beauty of the verses juxtaposes and sets up perfectly the musical intensity and ferocity of the emotional crescendo. Music like this takes you on a journey and once the quiet riff comes in halfway through the song it recaptures your attention and investment and prepares you for the climax. Can you tell I'm procrastinating from my Dissertation?

This song is a great reason why they call musicians ‘artists’. Ben Howard is an artist.

Fantastic. Can't wait for the full album.

This is incredible, haunting.......... A future classic

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, I for one cannot wait for this new album!!!!!!!!

I listen to this song every day and I still cry when I hear it. Amazingly done, Ben. Couldn't ask for better.

Love it, saw you playing this song live, very different. I will be following you down this path; and now, it looks like I will be following you down every path you take.

IN LOVE with this already! I cannot wait to hear what the rest of the album sounds like.

My ex's boy .. being 5-6 yrs old would love listening to Ben Howard to fall asleep! I loved it as much as him.. he loved music.. even had is head bobbing to Sevendust! He was a good little man! I don't care what your age is what kind of species we are.. we can learn from one another and not even know it!

I'm so in love with Ben Howard's music. Its been around a year since I discovered it, and each time I hear any of his songs It still strikes such an emotional chord within me. What a talented and TRUE musician. So poetic.

The delay in this song blew my mind when I heard it live in Melbourne last week. All his new tracks were killer!

I had be longing for some new BEN HOWARD.... just stellar! So much ♥ for this. Xx

POWER...end scene

Finally! Been listening to the live version of this for ages! So beautiful!

Love it. Just like his burgh island EP. Can't wait for his new album. 😁

Wonderful. Glad you're back Mr Howard. Peace & Love

I think Ben's music is so powerful and just to be able to have his music playing is so amazing. Ben is such an inspiration to everyone he shows that you can go from picking up a guitar at home and next thing you know you could be playing on stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend or in the Live Lounge for hundreds of people. Thank You Ben for your music

Whenever I hear this song I think 'I've cried a lot listening to it' but every time I hear it again my previous tears have never been enough

I can only think of the immense heartbreak he went through that made this song. Which in turn breaks my heart.

No joke I've been sat here making weird noises of appreciation and excitement over those last 3 minutes. Can't wait for the album!

power is excellent with their music. selecting 👏

Beautiful!!!! So excited to hear the rest

Finally Mr.Howard. FINALLY. And it's amazing. Of course.

Ben never ceases to amaze me. This is absolutely breathtaking! Really looking forward to his new album

This is so beautiful. Worth the wait!

The heartbreak is palpable in this; the emotion is so clear... woah.

Underrated. That song is one of my favorites, mostly on live sessions. And this guy is a genius.

Beautiful music that he continues to make. Ben is back! Oh how we have all missed you
