2024 and still listening to these amazing BBC Radio 1 shows! Always love listening to Ben Howard. Music therapy at it's finest. It's a good time to be alive. #Grateful
Agree 100%. My only conflict is if I should tell other people about him. As much as I want him to be successful and get what he deserves, I don't want to ruin what makes him special by going mainstream.
I'm definitely fanboying here...But I honestly just think that a lot of people that come across Ben Howard on the Music Scene really don't get just how genius and beautiful his music is. There is just so much depth and emotion into EVERYTHING he sings, it's not seen anywhere else and he puts more passion into what he does than iv'e probably heard anywhere else....It's just crazy beautiful and I'm not just talking about this but everything else...I thank him everyday for his beautiful music
I don't think I have seen anyone else cover an original song, make it thier own and play it better.. but it's like he does it unpretentious, like most wont see it unless you stay and 'listen'. Just incredible.
I've listened to this song an unhealthy amount of times. It never gets old. I could probably listen to it on a loop (literally like the number 8) until I take my last breath. I. Love. It. Seriously.
+iMertin I listen to him in all moods and have done so for 5 years now hah. But yeah, when I feel down and listen to his darker stuff. Takes me to the darkest place possible, but I kind of like that kind of suffering in some weird way.
I Just love this. I hadn't heard the Ellie Goulding original but listened to it out of interest. I am amazed by what Ben and his band have done with it. Pure musical genius....what a superb version this is. The guy is pure class. Cannot stop listening to his stuff. Totally hooked.

It would be nice- Easy money maker for them, too bad it’s all about streaming… albums were something… play in the order and arrangement it was made. When albums had a story, when albums went from one song to the next- (Every Kingdom by Ben Howard- check out also Motopony self titled first album- I swear by it- so beautiful) Now a days some things just seem soooo choppy- cos it’s not for an album, it’s to be heard that day, upload it- stream it- link it- like it- : ) #loveyourneighbor2021
Ben Howard's voice is so hypnotically relaxing, amazing cover of a great song. Good job! =D Its about time for both Ellie and Ben to collaborate towards one awesome original song, their voices together would make for some eargasmic listening material...
How does one man have so much talent? He is absolute treasure and a breath of fresh air for the music industry! In other interviews he shows that he doesn't care about the fame of the music industry and in the two shows I've been lucky enough to see him at it is obvious he cares about the music and the fans and that is it. I'm lucky to have encountered him in my lifetime. Long Live Ben Howard and the band.
You must be kidding! That is the sickest version of that song that will probably ever exist! I had to watch it at least a dozen times to see everything that was going on instrumentally. Truly unreal. Goulding has a beautiful unique voice but she ain't no Ben Howard.
WOW! what a great job! I absolutely love it when India comes in at @4:06....oh my word....simply breath taking! and the 10 or 15 secs that follows. Ben Howard is great....but India's backup vocals are DELICIOUS!!!
Nice to see India getting some much deserved recognition. This girl plays percussion, guitar, and other instruments too. Beautiful voice I cant get enough and a smile that melts me everytime. What a talent
Awesome yet again...he changes the vibe of this song completely and it works! Stunning and awesome live lounge!! Can't wait till I see Ben and the band again live! True talent!
Omg he sang so well and mixed the two songs it blended into one, it almost seems like a one original perfect piece. I'm glad that Ellie Goulding version exists so I can understand this better.
This is the best piece of music I have heard in a long while. I have no idea what the Ellie Goulding version sounds like, and to be honest I daren't listen; I would assume it wouldn't even come close to this. Can't believe I've only just discovered this guy, but my goodness am I grateful I did. Also, if India would care to marry me, that would be just fine. All of the live videos I have seen of theirs are fantastic - must get myself along to a show soon. Well done Devon!
i first heard Ben's cover & then Ellie's orignial song. i have to say that the cover is WAY BETTER than the original!! so smooth & melodic. awesome artist!
this is exactly what I always think of when I hear Ben play. I was always wondering which artists I'd had to tell my children about, like my mom and dad told me about the beatles and queen etc, and now I finally found one.
his cover is amazing i bet his mother is so proud of what hes become well done ben howard i love this cover i think i might convert it i love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every generation has an artist that defines it. We have waited, 90's Kids, and now it looks like we may finally have that one act we can tell our tell our kids about,
Ben's voice is simply breath taking. I have never found an artist where I cry in joy at their music but ever since I saw Ben live and hearing perfect, flawless covers like this really pushes my emotions over the edge. Never stop making music, please! Also, India is stunning.
I agree. I don't know how in the world anybody could say he has a "disgusting voice" - it's incredibly unique and textured. It has so much depth and soul.
2024 and still listening to these amazing BBC Radio 1 shows! Always love listening to Ben Howard. Music therapy at it's finest. It's a good time to be alive. #Grateful
The moment India comes in.......how delicate is her tone, Ben is the leading from the front as always. The whole arrangement is on another level.
This guy is just phenomenal. I cannot get over how good he is at what he does
Agree 100%. My only conflict is if I should tell other people about him. As much as I want him to be successful and get what he deserves, I don't want to ruin what makes him special by going mainstream.
Reza Garrow Going mainstream? You realise this is on BBC Radio 1 Live lounge right?
+Reza Garrow lol good theory
+SEEMENOW NOWSEEME Ben is FAR from mainstream since his second album!!
I'm definitely fanboying here...But I honestly just think that a lot of people that come across Ben Howard on the Music Scene really don't get just how genius and beautiful his music is. There is just so much depth and emotion into EVERYTHING he sings, it's not seen anywhere else and he puts more passion into what he does than iv'e probably heard anywhere else....It's just crazy beautiful and I'm not just talking about this but everything else...I thank him everyday for his beautiful music
Mozart /beethoven of folk music. Mans a fn genius
TheMinarus Try Matt Maeson, I like Nelsonwood Lane. If you haven’t yet heard him?
His arrangements of hit song covers are second to none
exactly !
I don't think I have seen anyone else cover an original song, make it thier own and play it better.. but it's like he does it unpretentious, like most wont see it unless you stay and 'listen'. Just incredible.
@@mrmcclintock534 he’s up there, I’m becoming a big fan of his but James Arthur’s covers are on another level
How about Johnny Cash?
I keep forgetting he didn't write the songs I know him best for.
I've listened to this song an unhealthy amount of times. It never gets old. I could probably listen to it on a loop (literally like the number 8) until I take my last breath. I. Love. It. Seriously.
Has the same effect on me!
He's unreal. But when you feel dark he can make it very dark if you get me lol
+iMertin I listen to him in all moods and have done so for 5 years now hah. But yeah, when I feel down and listen to his darker stuff. Takes me to the darkest place possible, but I kind of like that kind of suffering in some weird way.
Neliith yeah i feel the same both ways but i was just pointing out the feel i cant when he takes you dark
I heard it a couple years ago but waiiiiiited till today to download it because I am going to wear it out!
wow incredible! Love how he drops in Little Dragon - Twice into the cover blend, turns the whole thing into a musical masterpiece all of its own.
Who's still watching the almighty Ben Howard in 2020?!
I will never stop watching the almighty Ben Howard
Of course
Forever,y fav artist, bwethoven of folk music
Listening to the almighty Ben Howard is a spiritual awakening each and every time.
Meeeeee...!!!!!!
This makes me wish Ben Howard would make a full lenght record with just creative covers like this
Pretty much has if you put them together yourself
The way he composes covers gives me goosebumps.
He's got a real gift for interpretation.
Why has this not reached 1 million hits yet? It's my favourite Live Lounge performance and the masses deserve to see it.
I Just love this. I hadn't heard the Ellie Goulding original but listened to it out of interest. I am amazed by what Ben and his band have done with it. Pure musical genius....what a superb version this is. The guy is pure class. Cannot stop listening to his stuff. Totally hooked.
Same here :)
BBC needs to make an album for their live lounge sessions so I can listen to this gem whenever I please
They Do? I can only assume this was a joke???
They do.....

This guy is out of this world.
So good...
Ben Howard's voice is so hypnotically relaxing, amazing cover of a great song. Good job! =D
Its about time for both Ellie and Ben to collaborate towards one awesome original song, their voices together would make for some eargasmic listening material...
Not often a cover is better than the original but hats off to Ben and team have pulled it off here.
what an absolute legend. LOVE Ellie's original, but this is just mind-blowing
2022 still listening. Miss this Ben Howard
Seen him live 4 times, absolutely amazing every time
Another incredible cover from Ben and the band
He makes you feel emotions you never knew you had!
OMG this song is perfection
This expanded my life expectancy by 2 years
Ben and India are like a dream team.
How does one man have so much talent? He is absolute treasure and a breath of fresh air for the music industry!

Those harmonics are so flawless! also love the way Ben and India share the lyrics on 'Twice'. So nice!
You must be kidding! That is the sickest version of that song that will probably ever exist! I had to watch it at least a dozen times to see everything that was going on instrumentally. Truly unreal. Goulding has a beautiful unique voice but she ain't no Ben Howard.
Perfectly put
Best live lounge there ever was!!! Ben you are incredible! We are blessed
I have watched this so many times and cannot get enough :)
Ahh coming back to listen again. Such a melancholy and haunting interpretation of the Goulding track.
I still listen to him and it’s 2023
Goosebumps!! Love this SO much. Musicians truly enjoying every moment of their craft. Fantastic version!
I just love all of his songs, covers lyrics, guitar skills- just everything, he's perfect😌👌
this version is literally one of my favourite songs of all time
Most moving performer I have ever seen, so so much better live. Love you Ben!!
Listening in 2019. Going to listen in 2020.
Love this! India's voice is so good!!
Truly delicious music !!!!! X
omg I think I'm in love with this song
WOW! what a great job! I absolutely love it when India comes in at @4:06....oh my word....simply breath taking! and the 10 or 15 secs that follows. Ben Howard is great....but India's backup vocals are DELICIOUS!!!
Nice to see India getting some much deserved recognition. This girl plays percussion, guitar, and other instruments too. Beautiful voice I cant get enough and a smile that melts me everytime. What a talent
I thought this was an amazing cover until India started to sing Twice across... It then became epic!!
I know right?!?!? It's brilliant! I can't stop going back to 4.06....
Absolutely raw talent to each and every one of you!!!! 🙏🏻
Still listening this on 2022🙌🏻
Lovely, just lovely ❤
Amazing song i love it
The master of reinvention.
Wow!!!! I love this and everything Ben does 😊
This is beyond beautiful. His voice is amazing
And hers!!
ALL of his covers are flawless. Its incredible.
Best live lounge ever. That distorted Chris Issac sounding guitar sound in the background is just insane 🔥🔥🔥
His Call Me Maybe cover is great.
One of the most haunting pieces of music I’ve ever heard. Mesmerizing in every way. What a brilliant performance!
Awesome yet again...he changes the vibe of this song completely and it works! Stunning and awesome live lounge!! Can't wait till I see Ben and the band again live! True talent!
And he mixed Twice by Little Dragon into the song! :) Brilliant!
I just!!! i cant even!!!! Amazing as always!
Omg he sang so well and mixed the two songs it blended into one, it almost seems like a one original perfect piece. I'm glad that Ellie Goulding version exists so I can understand this better.
this is so beautiful . i`m crying. just beautiful
This song can last forever. And then you take it away. Then you take it all away.
This is acoustic and vocal imperfect perfection.. ❤️
I love Ellie and I love Figure 8. This may be the most original cover I've ever heard...and I love it. Great job! (I think Ellie would dig it too)
I love this version, especially the part when is mixed with little dragon's "twice"
This is the best piece of music I have heard in a long while. I have no idea what the Ellie Goulding version sounds like, and to be honest I daren't listen; I would assume it wouldn't even come close to this. Can't believe I've only just discovered this guy, but my goodness am I grateful I did. Also, if India would care to marry me, that would be just fine.

i am genuinely in love with this man
Absolutely incredible.

Every time I see him do a cover it's awesome wish he would perform his older songs tho Burgh island and Every Kingdom are my fav albums
Not often songs are better than the original but wow this was another level. AWESUM
Genius anything he touches turns to gold
This is phenomenal, Love the little dragon addition. This is epic! can't stop listening

Who's still watching the almighty Ben Howard in 2022?!

Loving Ben sooo much. Just don't get how come I didn't see this fantastic cover earlier o_O
perfection good one simply good too good xxx cary on MR Ben and rest of bandxxx
Hes a genius. Im in awe.
At the point when India comes over the top of him on the last verse it just takes the song to levels unimaginable.
I was looking for a comment like this...
Love her voice and it sounds so good with Ben's... Love there connection😬
Mitchell Brown still living for that part man, incredible!
Yep, thought this myself 3 years ago, still thinking it now!
his cover is amazing i bet his mother is so proud of what hes become well done ben howard i love this cover i think i might convert it i love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats a sick tone that...more of that please
He has saved this song; dragging it out of POP OBLIVION; dusted it off and made it into a GEM... man he is talented!!!!!
Wow what an absolute genius Ben Howard is my musical mojo
Outstanding
OMG!!!! Everything is wonderful and suddenly I hear Little Dragon... and i fall in love with this!!
Love this cover so much!
Every generation has an artist that defines it. We have waited, 90's Kids, and now it looks like we may finally have that one act we can tell our tell our kids about,
Ben's voice is simply breath taking. I have never found an artist where I cry in joy at their music but ever since I saw Ben live and hearing perfect, flawless covers like this really pushes my emotions over the edge. Never stop making music, please!
Also, India is stunning.
I agree. I don't know how in the world anybody could say he has a "disgusting voice" - it's incredibly unique and textured. It has so much depth and soul.
what sort of moron says such things
I don't understand why bbc still hasn't put these covers on spotify...😢
my all time favourite cover of a song
Even in 2018 this still sounds amazing!!! Timeless 🔥
2021 still timeless..
Still after a decade of listening, I come back to this almost daily. It’s 2025, I’ll be back in the comments in 2035 to update too.
A jaw dropping performance! Emotion evoking...
6 mins of serenity
Hard to believe he is ten times better live in person, most moving performance I've
He's amazing live - hopefully, he makes it to the States again ❤
Absolutely love this. His voice is gorgeous!
Thank you Ben Howard!!! You let me survive...
This is perfection!
i swear you can actually do ANYTHING! the best cover i've ever heard!
Fantastic piece of music, I melt through the floor. Wow.
