    I LOVE This one... Thank you, absolutely beautiful... Did you know... Ben Howard explained the song's meaning to The Sun: "'Black Flies' is about someone I don't really speak to anymore. It's an observational song about the changes in the year. It's not about romance as a few people have suggested."
    Howard explained to Reuters that the song is a tale of a ruined friendship. "We ended up doing separate things and going separate ways," said the singer. "That's what I write about most of the time, the people who come in and out of our lives and the memories that you form around them."

    It's a rainy day in Tokoroa New Zealand. My curtains closed. Just lit the fire and my washings on. Laying on my pillow listening to the sound waves from your song and everything seems right

    In a world of prefabricated music, Ben Howard is a minor miracle. In the darkness here this evening, Chase and Sierra are a minor miracle, too. Gratitude.

    Chase has this unexpected lightness to his voice, a delicate nature being worn on his sleeve.
    Sierra has a quiet and unnerving intensity when she sings, a profound depth in her eyes and the most solemn expression.
    I am extremely grateful to have found both of you and your unique Ying yang perspectives in the midst of so many copy-paste covers on YT. Each tune I find by you is a unique rendition, a lesser known track from the original artist, and insanely good. Thank you so so much and I can't wait to hear more.

      Red red wine you make me feel so fine.
      But not as fine as this voice so divine.
      She lifts me up
      Brings me down
      Spins my heart all around
      Alla...... de time....

    I absolutely love how raw this is. The guitar is a perfect blend of the original song with your own additions and variations. Your voice has such a great range and I just fall in love with it, and the videography allows you to have a glimpse of the musician, while also forcing you to fully understand and appreciate how gorgeous the music is. It’s so perfect yet it seems so easy for you.

    Have been a huge fan of Ben's music for a few years now and I often find myself turning to your version of this song Sierra as it is not only a different take but your voice is so soothing, mesmerizing and simply takes me on a journey of peace and reverie ! Thank-you. 🎼

    Such a great cover, the song is like a answer to a poem I wrote,
    If I’m the land
    Then your the coast
    To the heavens
    I would boast
    For you would be
    A mighty sea
    Spreading wider
    Then One could see
    Your waves of beauty
    would continually spread
    Creating paths
    that you have shred
    For I would be your
    light back home
    Being your rock
    While Letting you roam
    When I get lonely
    I will still be near you
    I’ll open my banks
    And let you trough
    For you create life
    As I sit and behold
    Hoping that one day
    That we both become old
    And when the seasons turn
    I would try and change
    Trying just to cater
    So Notting becomes strange
    For you are my ocean
    For you the seven seas
    For you are the only thing
    That this rock can see

    This is incredible. Ben Howard is nowhere NEAR as good as you on this song. He should gift it to you. Why is your name not on everyone's lips. You should be queen of the world. This song done by you is so good I want to cry.

    One of those days you just want to lie in the cute armchair, quiet, listening to you sing, you play ... In the sky, no plane, in the almost deserted streets, time doesn't seem to pass ... Your voice has a very rare timbre , beautiful, believe me, it makes me travel the world, it makes me daydream ... I love Russian music, but my heart is now more here than there, you are my safe haven, your music really moves my interior a lot, me transporting around the world ... I know it is a path of no return, but I love your voice, your music, your every video .... You are very special, in your distant eyes, something that holds me, everything now taking me until you .... Here I want to stay, quiet on the cute sofa, letting you guide my heart, my thoughts .... I now know that for me it is a way to turn .... Be well ...

      I know it might seem like teens don’t experience pain, but to us it’s literally the most hurt we have ever been. It might seem silly, but at this moment for us life is a fitting room. And we have to come out of the store with an outfit we love and that’s not always easy.
