I had no idea how talented Ben Howard is. To finger pick that guitar riff, and sing at the same time, you need some serious skillz. Fucking impressive.
@@TheCynicalB I've played guitar my entire life. I can shred relatively well, Van Halen and Vaughan feel solid and steady under my fingers. Blues, Country, Reggae I love it all. But nothing makes me feel like a beginner like learning some of Ben's crazy alternative-tuned, banjo capo'd fast as lightning with no room for error riffs. He may not be the MOST underrated but my god is he up there. He has his craft down so well even his band members are often left in awe.
Oh my god, I just can’t believe how outstanding this version is. That scream really hits hard. Just how I want to scream my heart out. I can feel his emotions. My husband passed away, went estranged for almost 3 years. and there are a lot of things that I should’ve asked and told him when I had the time. This broke me even more. I will never be the same again. I love him so much but it’s too late.
LenaAyugi they're both very unique and extremely talented at what they do! 100% agree on the not comparable, Ben is also literally a living legend, and has been playing for 20 years! Ed sheeran is 24, and ben is 28, Ed still has 4 years to get to that level, but will forsure never be compared to Ben Howard, two different types of music entirely.
+Abraham son Hahahaha! I wonder if Ed Sheeran is aware about the comparison. I bet if he is, he probably thinks to himself, "I wish they'd stop comparing me to Ben Howard, we sound nothing alike... And I can't compete with his abilities either." And then he feels sad because he knows he's not Ben Howard.
@@maximilien_4382 got any details about this particular one? Im new to telecasters and i wonder what are those pickups and maybe what effects is he using.
This is the definitive version of the song; one of the all-time greatest live performances of an artists’ own song recontextualized and given new life and energy by the masterful ending improvisation. Bravo to the entire band, exceptional performance!
Bin sprachlos..!! Hab eben die 4te Staffel von The walking Dead rein geschmissen, das Lied gehört und musste sofort googeln!! Unglaublich diese Stimme, das Gefühl, der Rhythmus. Respekt Ben Howard!! Erinnert mich an Curt Cobain und seinem gefuhlsaussagenden Gesang. Sowas entsteht nicht für profit oder fame. Das ist wahre Kunst. Respekt!!!! I love this song!!!!!
His voice is so awesome and what's even crazier is he sounds the absolute same as he does in the music video to sing and sound like that at a live concert is rarely achieved..way to go Band
I had a job in Czech Republic. Was driving every Monday 5 hours from Vienna in snow from 3 o clock on in heavy snow, Was at this time my favorite. Gave me power.
@chief Mcnasty I didn't say anything about how good it is. My point is that it sounds similar to the solo from CN. But I actually think it is at least close to Gilmour in terms of talent. But I'm no expert on guitar. The compositions sound similar.
True talent creates music like this. Sadly these days it's a rarity. The pop trash will rake in millions for acting like whores on stage-all style no substance- and real talent like this sadly flies under the radar and never gets its due anymore :( Fucked up world we live in now
Danielle Nelsen If you’re trying to play that sound. Try using a Tusq nut. I got pretty close to his guitars once. Keeps the action high too, with the tunings he plays, kinda have to. It’s worth mentioning he is playing a Tele here. Nice for those bends and open notes. Good luck. The rest is his pure soul, and abundance of it! He has turned me gay, I love him 😍. In a way that completely disrespects his wife 🤫
The riff and opening lyrics engulf me and move me. The Walking Dead was the de facto music video for this beautiful song. I don't remember the particular scenes of the Walking Dead or much of that show now, but this song still pours a mood in me.
This song makes me remeber to much. I have gone through so much sickness in my body and saddness in my mind. And when I hear this song, I am swung into anger, but its the anger where I want to find truth. Life will not become my tombstone. For life can clinch like fists, because those fists fight for life every second. And that is called a fighting heart.
We never truly say goodbye . Time is human and can be measured but love cannot be measured , only felt in the soul . Love is timeless and stays with us always , just in a different way . My father had to continue his journey in 2020 and I miss him , the pain is indescribable but he left lots of love and I feel it in my soul , he’s with me always . I still wake up crying but I’m trying to hold on . I just wish I could hug him once more . Someday . Much love ❤️ 🍀🌹🕊️
It might help to watch The Walking Dead show Season 4, as this song is played at a particular emotional moment. A doctor is released from his obligation to repress the emotional trauma from treating patients.
THE best version of this one. Brilliant. Saw him at Red Rocks w/ Daughter in '15. Didnt get this gem, but in no way was there any complaints at the end of the night.
I'am kind of obsessed to John Martyn's music these days. I cant get enough listening to him. While reading comments on John's videos. I knew about this man. Actually i couldn't sleep and thought to watch and hear John's live videos and ended up discovering this man. I'am glad i found him. I listen hardcore punk, metal, grunge, hard rock and fusion jazz mostly. But i do appreciate and admire the beautiful creative works and always try to explore something new and different. These days i'am captivated by John Martyn's music. Hence i have been trying to find more artists and bands who are influenced by John's music and style. People like this man restore my faith in humanity always.
There'll be oats in the water There'll be birds on the ground There'll be things you never asked her Oh how they tear at you now Go your way I'll take the long way 'round I'll find my own way down As I should And hold your gaze There's coke in the Midas touch A joke in the way that we rust And breathe again And you'll find loss And you'll fear what you found When weather comes Tearing down There'll be oats in the water There'll be birds on the ground There'll be things you never asked her Oh how they tear at you now
You know when you listen to a song so much you can close your eyes and be transported in memory - it’s this song, I’ll always remember moving into our new home and all the memories
Just checked your channel and being completely honest with all respect, your vocals aren't really anything extravagant, not even above average buddy. This is my opinion. But I suppose if you feel like they are 'goals' then I appreciate your self belief if not anything else, with all respect...
Ah, now I see what all the fuss is about! I have heard a few people extolling the virtues of Ben Howard, but the few clips that I have seen and heard haven't really moved me all that much. I do like this performance however, particularly his soulful guitar and voice. I must hear some more of his songs now-better late than never!
The walking dead brought me here just imagine if it wasn’t for the show I would have never discovered this amazing masterpiece song this song gives me chills it makes me feel dark in a good way
Heard this song 10 years ago and it haunts me still. My 10 year old said it was too powerful to listen to because it’s so creepy. It hits you. The emotional feel it.
I really expect to see big concert from Ben howard in near future! Where he could really give that kind of performance for each song he wrote, he really deserve to have his own full length show!
@@wesleybullock814At this time i thought that they only did festival gigs , i was thinking of Big concert ... Nevermind. Going to see them in Paris this year and i believe it will be awesome !
I remember another commenter said about his line “There’s coke in the Midas touch”, which is “coke” is referring to impurities that happen when they strike gold or melt it. It’s really genius
The walking dead should of brought me here because I watch it, but The following actually brought me here, and the witcher made me realize this song can go well in any form of entertainment.
I'm probably gonna murder the terms but the hammer on or riff or chord, whatever it's called, it's probably just a normal chord but those high notes at :47 and :50, and later on many times, i just love the sound of that. It gives the whole song emotion and depth
2024 and I still come back to this beautiful work of art

biggest chills during the whole of that!! truly incredible!!

There'll be birds on the ground
There'll be things you never asked her
Oh how they tear at you now
Go your way
I'll take the long way 'round
I'll find my own way down
As I should
And hold your gaze
There's coke in the Midas touch
A joke in the way that we rust
And breathe again
And you'll find loss
And you'll fear what you found
When weather comes
Tearing down

There'll be birds on the ground
