    When I read the great comments about Ben and it says "10 years ago" I'm blown away, because I remember it like yesterday when I used to listen to this in 2012. Odd feeling. We're getting older :/

      I'm glad they haven't..I feel he enjoys the success he does have. I'm'm hoping when I go see him in concert in two cities they're small/intimate venues. Not overrun by people looking to get out of the house and get drunk because it's something to do.

    Keep it steady for the one I love the most
    All eyes on the radar, she a queen of the coast
    Keep it steady, a hand to hold in quiet times
    All eyes on her radar, got me fooled before I die
    Keep it steady for the one I love the most
    All eyes on the radar, Oh she a queen of the coast
    Keep it steady, a hand to hold in hard times.
    While I’m on her radar, I’ll follow her to the root of dark
    But if you go, before these waters turn to stone,
    Then I’m going home. Then I’m going home.

    if you keep looking, you will find songs you never heard before. Like this song, today is actually the first time I hear this.
    He had about 50 songs, and you cannot compare him with a band like Foo Fighters, they have been bringing out their music soooo much longer! Soon, Ben will have as many songs, I'm pretty sure of that, if he keeps going like this! ;)

    For the last comment posted I feel the same way because I found friendship in someone that is older that I am and also that became a mentor to me and people look in like why are you speaking with him! It's so sad because I've ran into people in their 20's which is my age but since I've met one guy much much older than I am the rumors spread. But since I've met him I've met people his age that are much more or just as much wise as he is . These people have changed my life drastically!!!!! I gave up on succeeding to my fullest extent but the wisdom I got from these people has changed my life tremendously especially with a 4 year old!!!!!!!!!!

    "Hold on to what I believe,
    even if it is a tree that stands by itself;
    Hold on to what I must do,
    even if it is a long journey;
    Hold on to life,
    even when it is easier letting go;
    Hold on to Your hand,
    even when I have just lost my way.
    May I live in each season as it passes:
    Breathe the air,
    Drink the drink,
    Taste the fruit,
    And resign myself to the influence of each.
    May I be blown by all the winds..." - Welcome Home, King of New England

    0:05 what im talking about is how he clears his throat, kind of twitches his head and elbow towards the guy on his right, who then successively also twitches strangely. Kind of looks like a chain reaction. But you need to play it over and over till it is really weird.

    Its CFCGFC, just like "Promise" and "Gracious" with a capo on the 5th fret. Its practically 2 chords:
    C-0----0
    F-0----0
    G-0---2
    C-0---2
    F-0---0
    C-5---2
    Just listen for timing etc. He walks down the 6th string like this:
    C]-5----4-------0
