I'm a 70 year old Islingtonian now living in Norfolk. North Road and the Lion was my local. This song breaks my heart. Too young to die. Louis you do him proud. Absolutely love your music. Never stop. NLFE.
2024 the first time I have heard this song..what a touching song I can't believe it's a true story of something terrible that's happened to Ben his friend..rip Ben Kinsella
It's one thing to die at such a young age but to witness the premature death of a friend you loved at such a tender age is an experience no young boy or girl needs to live through, then so eloquently sing about it which undoubtedly must of been hard...you sir Mr Dunford should be a household name!! Extremely touching tribute "The ballard of Benjamin" should be released and a no.1, RIP Ben your friend, sister and family have made sure you will forever be remembered.
Alot of people probably dont know that Louis was best mates with Ben and actually was with him the night he died. Its such a sad story and because of his death, it changed the knife crime laws in the UK thanks to his sister Brooke. Great song Louis and Ben won't be forgotten.
Lol yea mate you're the only one who knows something he's openly spoke about, his mother's spoke about on TV and now he's done a song about. All hail you
@@bobbywanner3104 lol you get me tho mate? I just think it's funny asf when ppl start with 'a lot of people don't know this but..' as if they have access to inside info that nobody else knows and are doing us a solid by clueing us up
👌😥💔 can so relate to this.... my pal got stabbed n killed when we were 19 in pub ...just different part of North London...now 41 n in tears every time I listen to this .... rip both of em 😥💔💔💔 remember driving past following day seeing all flowers bless him rip Ben kinsella
Heart goes out to everyone who lost their lives to knife crime I'm so lucky to have survived but lost a friend so amazing song haven't heard anything hit me like this in a long time x
If yku ever want to see if theres something wrong with you, give this a listen and see how you feel. Every single time i hear this it brings me to tears, especially if you know the story. RIP Ben and fair play to Louis for sharing this part of him with all of us. Be lucky 🔴⚪️
Listened to this track over and over the past few days after coming across Louis. How this hasn't become mainstream doesn't make no sense. A true story teller amd makes u listen to every word in all his music. A true musical genius. Thankyou Louis for sharing with every1
They say wen the music hits you feel no pain, but this ones different! Rest in eternal peace Ben Kinsella 🙏❤️💜💚💙 Louis Dunford you’re different gravy never stop doing this
Ian your right my friend great singer heart felt lyrics, was there that night helped police with inquiries went to the old Bailey London gave my knowledge of what i witnessed saw the thugs sent down rip Ben 😢❤
This is just beautiful.. the reality of what crimes can be commited by children on children is just a nightmare to understand or comprehend. The song just makes me cry. Coming from a place scarily named "stab city" .. This is all we see and here about..
My stepson is sixteen I can’t even begin to imagine,what a senseless tragedy so sorry for your loss Louis and rest in peace Ben gone far, far too young.
I only just discovered the remarkable talent that is Louis Dunford. I've been busy searching for more of his stuff on TH-cam. This song really stands out. It's amazing. Please keep posting!
Just came across this song. Wow. This is incredibly written and performed. Absolutely blown away. Sat and cried my heart out. You are a credit. Huge talent. Rip Ben ♥️😔 Louis you really are amazing for everything you went through. Really hit me this song. Xxxx
Same here, just came across it trying to play Jerri cinnamon covering catfish and the bottlemens cocoon and this came up on an advert, usually I'd tap tap tap off the ad but it hooked me pal, greetin listening to it, lost ma mate Gary Patterson 21 years ago to a knife through the heart trying help someone, now the guy he lost his life helping is a junkie. Lost his life for nothing so he did. Love you all who have shared a tear in this song x
I only came across Louis this year with his Arsenal Anthem the Angel , but my god this guy has been through a lot. Didn't realise he was close mates with Ben Kinsella. Kudos to all the work he is doing with the Ben Kinsella Trust and Arsenal. A true gent.
This song is just the most beatiful aong and the only thing we can say is that it is full of emotions … sadness, rage, regrets, and every time I listen to it I think about all the boys that died on the streets of London because now we all know one kid who has been stabbed … RIP Ben
Beautiful track, I'm impressed I know a sister near me. She lost two of her children one was benny.he had an illness for years, kidney problems. This is about another subject but the pain is the same. Thank you. Also this benny is not forgotten
That is the most heartbreaking song I’ve ever heard, particularly when my son is called Ben and is 16! Hats off to you mate, you’ve got bigger balls than me! To write that and sing it like that, that song will haunt me and bring me to tears every time I hear it 😢x Love ya
So moving and powerfully written then sung with real emotion. Class act, did Ben proud, hope this touches at least one person and discourages them from carrying a knife or just being violent in general. Only stumbled across Louis in May 22, will be listening and sharing.
Wow,just came across this song, what amazing voice and straight from the heart ❤ the story of this song, just makes you think, I didn't know Ben but though this song I feel true emotion RIP 💙 Ben, and keep going Louis Dunford 💙
I lost 3 very good friends within a week, 3 very good men/young lads had their whole life ahead of them, hits hard this song but wow 👌 need to see louis dunford, standard 💙

Why has no record company released this song 1000% would sit at number 1 for months !
Doesn't fit the narrative.....they want promotion of it not songs against it. The world is run by lunatics
No it wouldn't
@@ManCunian_FC Exactly the powers that be love all drill and other repulsive nonsense promoting and glorifying "cheffing up opps". demonic trash.
It’s not pop. I love it tho

When the lyrics are more powerful than the video that goes with it, that's when you know a song is good.
This guy deserves a billion views per song he’s genuinely brilliant ❤️

Louis Dunford is my fav artist, people are just sick honestly how could you live with that guilt that you have just took someone's life.
