I so love when I find an artist as brilliant as Benjamin Clementine after he's been on the scene for a couple of years so that I can be reminded of how vast the world is and how very little of it I discover. Finding this artist is a real high point.
Oh yes, I know Aurora's. Such a beautiful and ethereal artist! I think my favourite tune by her is Running with the Wolves, followed by Runaway. I've been surprised she hasn't become more of a global phenomenon, but in a way I'm glad she hasn't. With success seems to come the pressure for more success which often seems to erode the quality of an artist's work. Anyway, Lukas, thank you for the recommendation!
Condolence's to every innocent person who has lost their life in the name of religion, power, greed, justice and retribution; from Paris to Syria to Mali and back again.
I haven’t heard anything like this before. The arrangement of the music is so peculiar. The more times I listen to it the more brilliant it seems. I have no idea how I got here but I am really glad to have found this guy.

Benjamin Clementine : le talent à l'état pur ! Sa voix, ses compos, ses textes, sa façon de jouer avec le piano, sa façon d'hypnotiser le public lors de ses concerts... Tout est là pour notre plus profond bonheur. Merci Monsieur pour tous ces moments magiques !
Well, i went there. I trusted you, just came back and thought i will curse you up a lil bad. But, its clementine's comment section. I won't be ruining it, so cheers bud Happy New Year. :)
I just woke up in a North African country, it’s 10 am and dancing to this like a crazy woman. Re listening to your songs have never been this amazing. But now i understand them better.
The more you grind the pure you become , it reminds us that we all came from nothing and ultimately go back to nothing (nature), leaving everything behind what we have fought while life for.
The eyes of this "man" are not in this world .. The view is somewhere far away, probably in another dimension .. All that we can observe "here" is the truly amazing timbre of the voice and the sincerity of the song itself, it really was forged in the soul of this guy , Honestly I had a tear while I listened to it, it's a sign of real music, that's all..
i love that the new song trapped and free autoplayed to this song - help people catch up . please play US on tour? DC? Richmond? Philly? DC will show up - that's my bet
Benjamin, you are a fresh voice that offers sincerity, child-like wonder, and authenticity to our world we all, so desperately, need now. Your latest album, which I appreciate, is breaking some musical expression boundaries and represents clear proof that your musical imagination goes well beyond what the majority of us is willing to commit to daily: our emotional and intellectual cooperation, quite naturally, requires some level of residual comfort, not easily obtained nowadays. At least for me and at least for now, your "At Least For Now" album is my daily mind meal to keep me sane while working from home. Thank you, Benjamin. I/we need you exactly as you are. Keep creating, keep healing. Much love, Son...
Probably my favorite song of the album. This man is simply epic! His voice is pure, simple, powerful, incredible, I just can't get over it. Amazing album Mr Clementine!!
Sometimes you cannot explain greatness so easily, is easier to just inmers yourself on it . Benjamin is so amazing at so many levels that the first time I listened to him I really didnt know what to think. Now I believe he will be one of the greatest.
First met this song when it first came out before 6 years while I was 11 years old and the "condolence" part had stuck in my head. After 6 years I came again to truly discover this paradise.
Finalmente un cantautore vero. La sua voce arriva all'anima. Dal primo istante che ho sentito Benjamin ho pianto, non conoscevo affatto la sua storia. Viva la via che ci offre ancora qualcosa di estremamente vero. Grazie di esistere. Pippo da Napoli
This is the best thing ive heard all year..his voice and articulation, delivery and general artistry is spectacular. Thank you for your talents. I am better for hearing you

This man don't sing with his mouth, he sings with his soul.
Aussi oui. Tête, cœur et corps. C'est un tout ,c'est pour ça aussi que c'est si sublime 😌pour moi en tout cas
I so love when I find an artist as brilliant as Benjamin Clementine after he's been on the scene for a couple of years so that I can be reminded of how vast the world is and how very little of it I discover. Finding this artist is a real high point.
could not have said it better. I wholeheartedly agree!
Oh yes, I know Aurora's. Such a beautiful and ethereal artist! I think my favourite tune by her is Running with the Wolves, followed by Runaway.

Acompanhou me nas horas nos dias na cela,onde tantas manhas vi nascer o sol
It's absolutely right, this man awoke our souls.
I find him only 3 days ago.. And I can't stop listening to him.
Where have I been for the past 8 years..... Just discovering this man now, in 2023.
2024 for me

Condolence's to every innocent person who has lost their life in the name of religion, power, greed, justice and retribution; from Paris to Syria to Mali and back again.

But on a more serious note - true dat.
How did I miss this Amazing man Master piece of music for 9+ years 🙆🏾♀️
Benjamin please don't ever stop doing this.
How is it possible I had never heard of Benjamin Clementine before... Before... Before?
Thank you Leon Bridges, and Michael Kiwanuka for bringing me here.
I'm so happy to have discovered this magnificent artist on the Voice. Better late than never.
I haven’t heard anything like this before. The arrangement of the music is so peculiar. The more times I listen to it the more brilliant it seems. I have no idea how I got here but I am really glad to have found this guy.
Yes.
V. Antony & The Jonsons-esqu as is the track "Winston Churchill's Boy"...opening track to "At Least for now."
when you think that a few years ago he was singing on the Paris Subway it's amazing
I just discovered Benjamin Clementine and I`m mind blown. Every song very unique with a strong message. A very rare find on youtube. A total gem!
I swear, you've seen me
You've seen me here before
And so don't tell it, don't tell it otherwise
This voice, this particular voice
Yes you've heard it before, before
And so don't you dare tell it, don't you dare tell it otherwise
No wonder, why the road seems so long
'Cause I had done it all before
And I won
You felt this feeling, tell me don't be ashamed
You felt it before, before
And so don't tell me
Don't tell me otherwise
I almost forgot, foolish me I almost forgot
Where I am from we see the rain before the rain even starts to rain
No wonder why you've been buggering me
This walk is a previous journey
And I won
Before I was born there was a storm
Before that storm there was fire
Burning everywhere
And everything became nothing again
And then out of nothing
Out of absolutely nothing I Benjamin, I was born
So that when I become someone one day
I will always remember that I came from nothing
No wonder, why you've been buggering me
This walk, it's a previous journey
And no wonder why the road seem so long
'Cause I had done it all before
And I won
Am sending my condolence
Am sending my condolence to fear
Am sending my condolence
Am sending my condolence to insecurities
You should know by now
You should know by now
That I just don't care
For what you might say
Might bring someone downhill
Am sending my condolence
To fear
Am sending my condolence
To insecurities
To insicurities.
To your fears.
Obrigado!!!
Asante
His voice gives me chills. A living legend. Cheers from Portugal.

I'm here to send my condolence to fear, and insecurities. Hi, Benjamin! you're amazing, ok?
What a special human being .
Many are called but only a few are chosen, from the few came Benjamin Clementine
This is the first Benjamin Clementine song I ever heard.
I found you today - a lazy Sunday can bring extraordinary things. Thank you.
So my life is going to involve finding amazing artists that my mind body and soul need.
Music can't be this good.....youtube need an auto-repay button....a song like this on auto-replay you kick-back and close your eyes.
Man... YOU.ARE.A.GENIUS!
Keep up the amazing job!
Cheers from Brazil 🙋

Anna Turlej exactly my thoughts
Beautiful and haunting. Yes, we have seen you here before.
This song ends right when it starts to get even better. I am pining for more.
I just don't understand those 270 dislikes to a powerful song, interpretation & everything
I will come watch this video until it reaches at least 7,000,000 views. Benjamin Clementines deserves it and more.....
25Dec2021 .. Nearly there .. 6.9M ........
7,000,000 yessss 🙌
I just woke up in a North African country, it’s 10 am and dancing to this like a crazy woman.
Re listening to your songs have never been this amazing.
But now i understand them better.
My God, what a voice
ten years ago listening to him, i am so happy that youtube revived this classic
a piece of humanity....
we only have to sleep for four... and I hope we will hear this song in Budapest!!
OMG GORGEOUS!! I have not felt this excited about a vocal talent in a long time...

Same here :) just discovered him and checking every single song. Amazing stuff
Benjamin Clementine is making me want to write songs again

This guy is great.
I found this man once 4 years ago and I've been desperatly looking for him since. Blessings.
Soy Colombiana , de un pueblo cerca al pacifico, disculpen no hablo ni entiendo el ingles , pero amo este hombre su voz, su musica, sus videos.
Laughter is always calmness, happiness hopefully faith and love
Brilliant, I can’t believe I’m just now finding this
I can't remember the last time I had goosebumps discovering new music. This comes from my soul.
The more you grind the pure you become , it reminds us that we all came from nothing and ultimately go back to nothing (nature), leaving everything behind what we have fought while life for.
Congrats on Mercury Prize - well deserved
Flows inside you, like a river of emotions.
I wish the climax of this song would last forever
so strangely compelling. every time I revisit this video I am enraptured at the very start, all over again, and then held
Nothing like him.. And this song.. And these words.
He's a visionary genius. The real deal.
The extended version is even better. Powerful
EXTENDED?!! where, when, how? Please tell! :)
Yes, please do tell.
I just can't stop loving this song
He's AMAZING. He STANDS ALONE.......
this is a masterpiece.. can't say how many times I've listened it even just today..
I feel like Benjamin Clementine. I am so happy he is happy now. Gintare Maksimovaite
We're blessed as a universe to have this unique voice
The eyes of this "man" are not in this world .. The view is somewhere far away, probably in another dimension ..

Genius.
This man is an enigma. I couldn't take my eyes this performance. God knows how much I have watched it.

This is a Beautiful Man, I saw him on Dune and was mesmerized. He is a singer composer too!!!? Whoa

This artist is pure talent the music is from another world
Love from Nigeria
I had the priviledge to see him live in Gazi, Athens, Greece, a couple of years ago... amazing....
Crazy, crazy beautiful with such clarity of voice and thought.
I was jumping on TH-cam and found this treasure, what a beautiful man, his voice is so touching.
Sometimes you cannot explain greatness so easily, is easier to just inmers yourself on it . Benjamin is so amazing at so many levels that the first time I listened to him I really didnt know what to think. Now I believe he will be one of the greatest.
j'adore sa voix, le piano, et cette force de te transporter comme un papillon.
👍

Je pense comme toi
+James Collins écouté c'est jolie! presque la même voix mais une acoustique différente

First met this song when it first came out before 6 years while I was 11 years old and the "condolence" part had stuck in my head. After 6 years I came again to truly discover this paradise.
Film Mais vous etes fous brought me here. Wow, I am speechless. Masterpiece.
No. Nah-huh. Impossible. Not possible. There's no way it exists such a beautiful person. NO. WAY.
This is the song I'm sending my American friends today. :')

Just found you today through "I won't complain", and I gotta say I love what I've heard so far, both the lyrics and the notes are lovely
"Before I was born there was a storm, before the storm there was a fire burning everywhere"
Thank you to dear Benjamin Clementine for this wonderful song 😊 This is the song to those who wish us bad luck.
