Never go to his concert single or you'll feel pathetic and lonely, but if you go with a girlfrield she'll leave you for him. A dilemma if I ever saw one.
this sounds like something someone would put on before playing a little game called "just the tip...Just for a second...Just to see how it feels" or "Ouch Ouch your on my hair."
Yeah he did a version of this song that really hit. and to NEGERVAMPYR. "THE DIFFERNECE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE IS PASSION" BEN HARPER IS ONE OF A HAND FULL ARTISTS OUT THERE THAT HAS PASSION FOR HIS ART
i understand that 'commercial' doesnt entail simply being successful....but u2 covering One....they're own song with Mary J Blidge?? what the fuck?? when i first heard that i wanted my ears to die. bono's like a parody of himself now.....and anything after Zooropa was ssssshhhhhite....(anything before was amazing)
Man I wish I was at the Live from Mars concert!! This and Amen Omen would have been some thing you'd never forget! Keep it going Ben. Cant wait to see him in London in July
I think that this version honors Marvin. No one will ever be able to duplicate Marvin's presence and soulful voice. No one. But some have been able to create their own variations of Marvin's tunes that are pleasing to hear. This is one of them. It's not meant to be better than Marvin's version. There will never be another Marvin.
ben puts some true soul into this song,yeah its marvin gayes song but it wasn't written by marvin.marvin was looking for a new hit so he called a friend of his up and asked him if he could write a sexual poem,and he said he would sing the shit out of it.his friend was a white dude by the way.
Just thought id let you know He didnt write it. Its Marvin Gayes song. And his version is better. Dont get me wrong this version is still incredible, But nothing beats the original.
AWESOME COVER :P this is great and they are sooooooooooooooooo amazing live...I can't wait for the next show I get to see :D and I agree with theman1869...the grunt @ about 6 min is my favorite part
of course a couple of notes are off key, this is a live version and he's obviousely not using an autotune-like device!!!plus, many of his "off-key" notes are in fact blue notes or ornamental notes and are not off-key at all in blues/soul/jazz.
i love this song and his voice wow!!!!
