If cannabis was to become legalised, a lot people would stop getting drunk and going out to shitty pubs with crap dance music, they'd go out and get high while listening to some amazingly chilled music like this. Which would boost their industry, creating more chances for more musicians like Ben to thrive! Just a thought I've been having recently.
think this is my fav song + vid of his so far.. + iv seen em all.. over + over + over again.. this 1 showcases his skills beautifully tho :-) cant wait to see him live in november!!! kerching!! ♥
Anybody else think the start of this song sounds like the intro to "Calvin Harris - Feel so close". Obviously this song was written before and stuff. And this song is in a different league to anything Calvin Harris could produce
@stuastbury Hi there!! A friend of min who plays guitar too once told that every soud and sound combination possible on a guitar was played already so if this is true nobody could ever copy anyone else anymore!! Nice thought i guess
@zipflmolch I believe this to be true also, it's all about how you use that specific sequence, what you use it with, what emotions you put with it. The unique thing about Ben is his fantastic view point on life, and you can really see that in his music.
Just found a guy called "Jacko Hooper" after reading an interview of his and he was saying Ben Howard was an influence (who i also didn't know until now!) He has a song on youtube called 'Common Sense' people should check him out, i've found two great artists in one day!! :D
This is an amazing song! I've made a cover of it but its not as good as this. I'm very happy that theres guys like Ben who create great music like this one. He is a true inspiration
he was INCREDIBLE at shepherds bush empire last night ahhhh
