Lots of other artists approach happiness, or love, or anger, or sadness. Keaton Henson approaches a desperate, real, and never perfect combination of all of the above, which is even more saddening than pure sadness because it infects all parts of life, the bad and the good. I hate that I love his music.
This is too real. I personally get suspicious of lovers that are too nice. There's comfort in the familiar, and familiar is pain. Don't get me wrong, I know it's not okay to chase shadows that aren't even there. But when you're used to having to jump away from every one, it becomes a masochistic, missed habit when there's nothing to run from. This is exactly why battered people tend to stay with the pattern of abuse. It's all we know about what love is, so when someone presents differently, we get suspicious.
I feel this so much me and my girlfriend have been through shit so we can always get things wrong cuz we are expecting it to go wrong. But we have been going strong for almost a year and a half and every day is a the like first time we met. I never thought I'd get out of that cycle and meet someone so perfect for me. It is possible to break the wheel !!!! ❤❤
*fun fact* "I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me, I'd steal you a river if you'd only see, Would you love me, and hold me, and then let me be" There are two plays here, the first being the use of the word "see" (sea) relating to 'ocean' and 'river.' But that word "see" also commences in the act of lyric painting, which is when lyrics do what actually happens in the music (I.e. when someone says "stop" and the music stops). The word "see" in this case starts on a C and ends on a Bb; the amount of time and effort put into this song is ridiculously holy. 💙
I have a hard time deciphering my feelings and that of others, emotions don't make much sense to me, but Keaton Henson. Oh boy, he makes me feel everything at once.
I am a writer. I use my writing to cope with my obstacles. I have also recently been struck with a heavier heart than I've ever had to deal with. Keaton Henson inspires me both to write, and to breathe sometimes. Thank God for Mr. Henson! I hope this man is happy, and that his life is fulfilling for him. And I hope that you have found your niche, or that you will soon.
my girlfriend sent this to me a couple months back and told me to write. and that was how she broke up with me. i still miss her, she helped me with so much and she told me she wanted to marry me one day. maybe i'm just young and naive and stupid, but i'd still give anything to have her back. she was the first girl i loved and... i miss her.
I would walk all the miles if you'd play your part, I'd write you a song if you'd just break my heart, I would love you forever but woman I plead, just love me and hold me and then let me be, I would draw you in ink if I thought it would work, I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me, I'd steal you a river if you'd only see, would you love me and hold me and then let me be I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself, I'm a writer whose nothing if he's not in hell, I would owe you a favour and if its all right, would you love me and leave me with something to write? would you love me and leave me with something to write? I would ache to my bones from the hours I'd spend, writing poems of loss if you'd sleep with my friends, I would paint you a mural and ring all the bells, if you'd please just mistreat me and put me through hell, I would treat you like an angel and say all the things, the loneliest poets have only dared dream, I would love you with all of my heart if you would, just love me and hold me and leave me for good, I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself, I'm a writer whose nothing if he's not in hell, I would owe you a favor and if its all right, would you love me and leave me with something to write? would you love me and leave me with something to write?
We must talk on every telephone Get eaten off the web We must rip out all the epilogues From the books that we have read And to the face of every criminal Strapped firmly to a chair We must stare, we must stare, we must stare
I had a relationship for 2 years and I'm a struggling writer for 4 years. I have a fear of abandonment so I did everything for him and did my best to be a girlfriend for 2 years but he still left because he doesn't want to hurt me anymore and he was just afraid to leave me because I might do something to myself. I only wanted to be loved and also feel special to the man that I've given my world to. It really hurts when you're giving everything to a person and then they just leave that easily.
Eddie Infante I'm not sure, I just put in the description that I don't own the song and left a link to where you can buy the album, maybe that's the reason?
This song just does me in. At first, I didn't understand my connection to it, but something drew me to it. And then I realized that, to me, it's not like I'm looking for a muse, but I'm always looking for a reason not to trust someone. I grew up being tossed around a lot, and I learned that people are always out to hurt me (a misconception I'm still trying to reconcile and move past). I still have a natural tendency to distrust people, though, and, selfishly, I feel terrible judging people who have given me no reason to fear them. So, I kind of get this feeling where I almost want them to hurt me, just so that I can get on familiar ground and know what I'm working with, and not feel guilty for distrusting them. It's actually kind of sick, to be honest because I feel like I can only connect with people who I know are out to get me, because that's all I'm used to.
It really is a form of self harm to fall in love knowing you'll only be alone again, but it's only human to want love. Even if you think you don't deserve it.
Haha so mean, sometimes man. Gosh xD I had relationships where they were perfect and I was there feeling at unease just wanting there to be something to destroy me.
my boyfriend dumped me, I'm not sure why, he said we'd be better off as best friends, and I'm not sure why it kinda hurts because being in his arms and being his were amazing, it was the best feeling.

Also, emotional masochism at its finest. 👌
Keaton Henson's albums should just be called emotional masochism lmao

floral moon don’t be sad friend, everything will be good one day. I hope all good things are will be with you
Welcome to the club, I'm answering 11 months later so you probably already noticed that it never get's better, it never gets easier. Good luck to you.
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
I know how you feel..im in the exact same situation with my ex bf he left but i still care and id still give him the world..ya know💔
WTF? What a terrible way to break up with someone...
I need this on vinyl. Been obsessed for years. This guy is the living embodiment of art.
reminds me how sometimes for me, the anxiety caused by waiting for the pain is worse and more hurtful than if they'd just leave already.
There is a place in my chest, that feels worm when i listen to your songs.
"I'm a sick kind of lover and i'm cruel to myself" i felt it
Is there any song from Keaton, which is not heartbreaking? They are all so beautifull!
Keaton Henson is my spirit animal
I would walk all the miles if you'd play your part,
I'd write you a song if you'd just break my heart,
I would love you forever but woman I plead,
just love me and hold me and then let me be,
I would draw you in ink if I thought it would work,
I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me,
I'd steal you a river if you'd only see,
would you love me and hold me and then let me be
I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
I'm a writer whose nothing if he's not in hell,
I would owe you a favour and if its all right,
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
I would ache to my bones from the hours I'd spend,
writing poems of loss if you'd sleep with my friends,
I would paint you a mural and ring all the bells,
if you'd please just mistreat me and put me through hell,
I would treat you like an angel and say all the things,
the loneliest poets have only dared dream,
I would love you with all of my heart if you would,
just love me and hold me and leave me for good,
I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
I'm a writer whose nothing if he's not in hell,
I would owe you a favor and if its all right,
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
We must talk on every telephone
Get eaten off the web
We must rip out all the epilogues
From the books that we have read
And to the face of every criminal
Strapped firmly to a chair
We must stare, we must stare, we must stare
Sounds like At The Bottom Of Everything by Bright Eyes
Conor and Keaton turn true self loathing into the most beautiful art I've ever heard.
How come i never listened to this one O.o !!! Its too beautiful .. True .. Sweet and painful .. Its amazing
I had a relationship for 2 years and I'm a struggling writer for 4 years.

I hope things are better for you now❤️
Thank you posting this. I believe you have some great taste in music. It's sad seeing people who don't know who he is or how much he's underrated.
Keaton is great, I'm glad people enjoy his music but yeah, I agree he's very underrated but sometimes I like having hidden gems to myself :)
thank you so much for posting this. this song has made me cry 50 times today but it's totally ok,
its okay I love this song too and i'm a big crybaby when it comes to it
+Celine Kenndal also how did you upload the entire song without getting copyrighted?
Eddie Infante I'm not sure, I just put in the description that I don't own the song and left a link to where you can buy the album, maybe that's the reason?
My heart hurts. This was a tough pill to swallow.
This song just does me in. At first, I didn't understand my connection to it, but something drew me to it. And then I realized that, to me, it's not like I'm looking for a muse, but I'm always looking for a reason not to trust someone.

It's actually kind of sick, to be honest because I feel like I can only connect with people who I know are out to get me, because that's all I'm used to.
Hey, it's been 7 months. How are things going?
Hey you’re not alone. I can relate
Man is an angel.
It really is a form of self harm to fall in love knowing you'll only be alone again, but it's only human to want love. Even if you think you don't deserve it.
I showed this to my ex of five years over and over again he overdosed of heroin last year and I wish I never showed him this song.
Lyricly This is a masterpiece.
And emotionally it makes you wanna cry, love, and let go at the same time.
They say I don't have a heart well had a break up so if I don't have a heart sure feels hurt GOD LOVES US ALL AMEN
God this hurts
OK BUT THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS
Haha so mean, sometimes man. Gosh xD I had relationships where they were perfect and I was there feeling at unease just wanting there to be something to destroy me.
i was told that my boyfriend of a year, doesn't love me anymore. and he's found someone new. he's been loosing touch, while only i was falling harder
Jayla Smith I'm so sorry to hear that I hope you are doing better.
*IMMENSELY CRYING* GODDAMNIT HENSON
my boyfriend dumped me, I'm not sure why, he said we'd be better off as best friends, and I'm not sure why it kinda hurts because being in his arms and being his were amazing, it was the best feeling.
I'm really sorry to hear that :( Keaton can really hit how you're feeling, it's why he's the best.
Love is to love alone ....
Thank You Forrest 💕
When you realize that you've already liked this video I was like me had good taste back then ^^
He’s saying that if she puts him through pure hell he would still do all the loveable and good things her even
I don’t know how I ended up here but this is fucking beautiful
A BPD mood
This song reminds me of both LifeIsStrange and TheWalkingDead
