"Afraid to stay and scared to go, until I found a road where nobody knew me and my name was just a word that tasted strange and I finally got to pick what it meant..." Can't describe better the way I feel these days...
This is stunning in every way possible. Ben, you never fail to amaze me and convince me that you are the best musician and lyricist and EVERYTHING. Thanks for the music and the feelings, I could never be able to repay you for giving me so much. Hope you come to Spain soon!
How is it possible to have every song ever published to be so perfect and stunning? Every song is new and different but still hits home in one way or another. Ben, your music is absolute top notch and never fails to calm me and lift me up during hard times. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with the world. Side note, I'm also equally impressed with the comments on all of Radical Face's stuff. The intelligence is far greater than any other comment section I've had the misfortune of laying eyes upon.
This EP has some of my favorite songs by Ben Cooper. Sunn, Moonn, and Eclippse are all amazing in their own spectacular ways. I’m so glad they exist. I was abused as a child and subsequently, suffer from some really bad PTSD. It’s really difficult to calm down and / or get to sleep. But this EP genuinely helps. Thank you so much, Ben Cooper. I don’t think I’d be here without your music.
**Sunn Lyrics** I watched the sunlight cross the furniture And I didn't flinch when it all got burned away And while in the middle of those fires I always find myself with nothing much to say And I used to wish my blood would travel That my genetic line It wouldn't end with me But in the light of all that's built me I see that some dead ends are probably for the best [Chorus] : Come find these thoughts and pull them out of me 'Cause they're nothing I have asked for Sometimes when sleep becomes your enemy It feels better to dream when the sun is accounted for I sang a song I swore I would Until my voice was gone Now I'm just listening While the sunlight cuts its name in my skin And I left my ghost along the shore To find a port to harbor me But I ain't so young To believe a home is ever very permanent So save yourself a little breath We don't often change what we're scared of And we just paint the scars and pretend they were never there You can save yourself a second guess When it's all a cycle [Chorus] 'Cause I only wanna let this go **Moonn lyrics** No sleep There is no comfort in the pillow My mind starts drifting through the woods Climb up the moonlight ground beneath me Until I find myself Wrapped up in the fog above the world And up here those wolves will never reach me I am not bound by where I'm from I'm not awake, I am not sleeping as I walk along The in-between of everything come and gone I watch myself there as a little one And wonder why they could never hear me I watch them hold me down beneath their calloused thumbs To hide their fears deep down inside me There is no son, there is no daughter There's only arms they've never named You are not you, you are a mirror You only work when you're the same But up here the walls no longer reach me I am not bound by where I'm from I'm not awake, I am not sleeping as I walk along The in-between of everything **Eclippse lyrics** Head above water Now the waves have some space in between And I can see the words up above me Were just some trite advice that said "Remember to breathe" Well I guess you got what you're after If you're after a life on your knees Everyone just wants to be blameless To have a place to point, to say "It wasn't me" And then we rinse and repeat Afraid to stay and scared to go Until I found a road where nobody knew me And my name was just a word that tasted strange And I finally got to pick what it meant Take a breath Clean yourself in the river of time 'Cause somewhere the sky's always falling And sometimes it's just your turn Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go So now you know the hell Of wondering if a change is gonna come It don't mean much Don't hold your breath They will just have to save themselves this time But you (you, you, you, you) You will be just fine Source: Genius Lyrics Hope this helped someone!
I was late to class because I was watching this, but it was worth it! I love how, when you're listening to radical face, it's like you can unzip the music and walk around in it. The atmosphere of his songs is always spellbinding and all-consuming!!
horsesrmylife78 I really like how you described his all encompassing music. Unzipping and entering into the soundscape. I'll have to remember that! This all encompassing music is my favorite type of music! 🎶😃
Such a change of style. I found it hard to know what to make of it at first when I'm used to his older music but I do like it and I'm so glad Ben is still able to come up with completely original ideas instead of getting repetitive.
you've made me cry.. alot... it's always awesome to listen to your music.. thank you so much.. I wish I could tell you this myself.. and tell you every little thing in every song that makes me happy. it's 2 in the morning and I'm just listening to all of your music again... I love it. again.. thank you
I’m honestly shocked these songs aren’t more popular, especially Eclippse. Many of your songs are my go-tos when I’m in need of comfort, and they have never failed me before. I may have found your music only a few months ago, but I still love each song to pieces. Thank you for each incredible song. I hope that, despite everything that’s happened this year, you can manage to push through and keep making these incredible songs.
Hello, soory for my poor english, but here, in France, we have people who following you! Your job is always perfect for me! Don't stop your passion, the songs you made are full of hope! I'm waiting for the next EP ;)
Ben, your music is easily some of the most genuine and heartfelt music I've ever listened to. To think that every single song has a story and that those stories feel so human never fails to amaze me. Please continue to to be a source of hope for all the people who've lost theirs and thank you for everything.
Just so you know Ben, this song has looped indefinitely for many many hours. And then many more. Thank you. P.S. I am sad your personal store no longer exists to buy merchandise directly.
Fantastic visuals to accompany the music Ben. Can't wait to see more projects like this! This really feels more like Electric President than Radical Face, and I'm really digging the more electronic vibe.
Ben Cooper, I want to tell you personally that this music you make, from whatever spot it is in your heart that you get this from, that it hits the deepest emotions of soul. I cried though the entire album the leaves. Even though you might not realize it, but your lyrics have so many deep meanings that can apply to each human that exist here on this Earth. I would love to meet you one day and talk about where it all came from and talk life. Peace out brother.
Ive been listening since about 2010, i was 13. Still listening now. Thankyou for your music, helped get me through bad times . Loving this vid btw, so creative!
What an artist. I'm never tired to say that I'm glad I found your music, it's just perfect and the stunning atmosphere while listening is great, the best really! Thanks Ben, love from Italy!
You guys did an awesome job. I love the music, visuals, and the whole concept of it. I'm so happy there is more Radical Face to listen to now. :) I think this music might just get me through the year and perhaps many years to come.
As always, friggin awesome dammit!! I am having such an awful night at work and this has made me smile! so thrilled! I keep checking in the Cdn., iTunes store for anything new from you, constantly blow my mind! always such a thrill and joy, in awe of everything you've done! So, when can I buy this? Lol, no pressure, but we need some new Radical Face tunes, well ok, I do! can't get enough, I'll have to re watch this as I've been writing this, listening, nothing new there, all my Radical Face is overplayed, if that's even possible! thank you! take care!🙂✌🏻️
Просто волшебно, гениально и прекрасно, вы моя любимая группа, прям всё что я люблю, это восхитительно!! -------- Simply magical, brilliant and beautiful, you are my favorite band, everything I love is straight, it's amazing !!

**Sunn Lyrics**
I watched the sunlight cross the furniture
And I didn't flinch when it all got burned away
And while in the middle of those fires
I always find myself with nothing much to say
And I used to wish my blood would travel
That my genetic line
It wouldn't end with me
But in the light of all that's built me
I see that some dead ends are probably for the best
[Chorus]
:
Come find these thoughts and pull them out of me
'Cause they're nothing I have asked for
Sometimes when sleep becomes your enemy
It feels better to dream when the sun is accounted for
I sang a song I swore I would
Until my voice was gone
Now I'm just listening
While the sunlight cuts its name in my skin
And I left my ghost along the shore
To find a port to harbor me
But I ain't so young
To believe a home is ever very permanent
So save yourself a little breath
We don't often change what we're scared of
And we just paint the scars and pretend they were never there
You can save yourself a second guess
When it's all a cycle
[Chorus]
'Cause I only wanna let this go
**Moonn lyrics**
No sleep
There is no comfort in the pillow
My mind starts drifting through the woods
Climb up the moonlight ground beneath me
Until I find myself
Wrapped up in the fog above the world
And up here those wolves will never reach me
I am not bound by where I'm from
I'm not awake, I am not sleeping as I walk along
The in-between of everything come and gone
I watch myself there as a little one
And wonder why they could never hear me
I watch them hold me down beneath their calloused thumbs
To hide their fears deep down inside me
There is no son, there is no daughter
There's only arms they've never named
You are not you, you are a mirror
You only work when you're the same
But up here the walls no longer reach me
I am not bound by where I'm from
I'm not awake, I am not sleeping as I walk along
The in-between of everything
**Eclippse lyrics**
Head above water
Now the waves have some space in between
And I can see the words up above me
Were just some trite advice that said "Remember to breathe"
Well I guess you got what you're after
If you're after a life on your knees
Everyone just wants to be blameless
To have a place to point, to say "It wasn't me"
And then we rinse and repeat
Afraid to stay and scared to go
Until I found a road where nobody knew me
And my name was just a word that tasted strange
And I finally got to pick what it meant
Take a breath
Clean yourself in the river of time
'Cause somewhere the sky's always falling
And sometimes it's just your turn
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
So now you know the hell
Of wondering if a change is gonna come
It don't mean much
Don't hold your breath
They will just have to save themselves this time
But you (you, you, you, you)
You will be just fine

I was late to class because I was watching this, but it was worth it! I love how, when you're listening to radical face, it's like you can unzip the music and walk around in it. The atmosphere of his songs is always spellbinding and all-consuming!!
horsesrmylife78 me too. Small world of being late to class because of Ben Cooper.
horsesrmylife78 I really like how you described his all encompassing music. Unzipping and entering into the soundscape. I'll have to remember that! This all encompassing music is my favorite type of music! 🎶😃
Moody Boy thank you! It's my favorite kind of music too!
well said... well said.
Ben, I just stumbled on your creations tonight. I cannot stop watching. Deeply moving. Playing the heartstrings of my soul. Thank you
Sunn has to be one the best songs ever written. Musically speaking is incredible. And the lyrics are amazing. 10/10
I still come back to this when in need. Thank you.
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen, the musical progress and evolution you've made blows me away
my god, the best start to a weekend ever
I am in awe,,, ,Thank you
Such a change of style. I found it hard to know what to make of it at first when I'm used to his older music but I do like it and I'm so glad Ben is still able to come up with completely original ideas instead of getting repetitive.
This is such a beautiful EP, and the video just completes it. Absolutely incredible.
Your art is so healing. Thank you for continuing to share it. ❤️
What a great surprise to come home from work to! This is absolutely amazing!
The music, with some awesome post-rock influences, the visuals. The whole package is complete over here!
Another three gems by Ben. You never cease to amaze.
These songs are beautiful! I could just lie down and be swallowed by them! Well, time to take a trip to iTunes! =))
you've made me cry.. alot... it's always awesome to listen to your music.. thank you so much.. I wish I could tell you this myself.. and tell you every little thing in every song that makes me happy. it's 2 in the morning and I'm just listening to all of your music again...

Absolutely wonderful. I'm so happy to see new music coming out!
I have one of your lyrics tatted on me. "I think we're haunted". Thank you for this music, my life would be totally different without it.
You guys did an awesome job. I love the music, visuals, and the whole concept of it. I'm so happy there is more Radical Face to listen to now. :) I think this music might just get me through the year and perhaps many years to come.

You just made my day.
A great piece of art. I'm inspired to write a song right now
Whoa... this has got to be some of your best work yet.
Nice work Ben (and gang) - Fantastic to have some new music, and I'm still enjoying your previous work. Always good.
I'm on that other OTHER side of TH-cam. This is cosmic perfection.
This is incredible. Absolutely breathtaking.
Thanks Ben and everyone involved. Thanks again.
Divine!!!
Second song strangely reminds me of the "Clone" project.
yes, i thought the same thing! I love the Clone vibe
Absolutely right...!!! :)
I would love sooo much to stand in a dark room, surrounded by this looping music with the video circling me on the walls...
This is literally my favorite thing ever right now
This video is OUTSTANDING
Thank you for the tunes, I've been a big fan! I'd love to see a show live someday! Any plans touring close to Utah? :D
Awesome. See you next Thursday in San Diego.
You're so freaking talented! Keep it coming, Ben!
Beautiful songs, this band is the better for the last times
The chills..
I don't understand. I can't comprehend the genius I just witnessed.
Amazing musics and videos!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
majestic.

You are a genius dude. Your music takes story telling to a new level. Fucking impressive.
It's amazing :)
I love drums in those songs :)
No sleep
There is no comfort in the pillow
My mind starts drifting through the woods
Climb up the moonlight ground beneath me
Until I find myself
Wrapped up in the fog above the world

But up here the walls no longer reach me
I am not bound by where I'm from
I'm not awake, I am not sleeping as I walk along
The in-between of everything
Amazing!
This is all kinds of amazing!
Allow me to download this. This is so beautiful !
this makes me feel feelings from an another life
PER - FEC - TION !
Love this!! When are you coming back to Portland again?
Wow Ben! Incredible! :)
Thank You
THIS IS AWESOME
Only heard the first minute bur know it will be awesome!
Barney Stinson how is ur daughter?
Head above water
Now the waves have some space in between
And I can see the words up above me
Were just some trite advice that said "remember to breathe"

Take a breath
Clean yourself in the river of time
Cause somewhere the sky's always falling
And sometimes it's just your turn
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
So now you know the hell
Of wondering if a change is gonna come
It don't mean much
Don't hold your breath
They will just have to save themselves this time
But you
You
You will be just fine
oh god
Woah
*I LOVE THESE SONGS*
*I LOVE THIS GROUP*
*Why so little views? :(*
Just wanted to say that this is one person, not a group
I also love radical face :)
Ben is the only musician that truly respects my ears and my heart.
Love this
Your music makes me see life in a way I haven't before.
It's weird. But it's wonderful.
Hypothetically, If I were to buy this youtube video like art hanging in a gallery, home much would it cost?
I watched the sun across the furniture
And I didn't flinch when it all got burned away
And while in the middle of those fires
I always found myself with nothing much to say
And I used to wish my boy would travel
That my genetic line wouldn't end with me
But in the light of all thats coming
I see the sun dead end
So it's probably for the best
Oh come find these thoughts and pull them out of me
Cuz they're nothing I have asked for
Sometimes sleep becomes your enemy
It feels better to dream while the sun is accounted for
Sing a song that is for our world
And until my voice is gone
Now I'm just listening
While the sunlight cuts it's name in my skin
And I left my ghost along the shore
To find a boy to har the name
Oh but he's so young
To believe a home is ever very permenant
So save yourself a little breath
We dont love the change but we're scared of
We just paint the scars and pretend they were never there
You can save yourself a second guess
Cuz it's all a cycle
Oh come find these thoughts and pull them out of me
Cuz they're nothing I have asked for
Sometimes sleep becomes your enemy
It feels better to dream while the sun is accounted for
Cuz I know alone this land is yours
