waiting for you - ben harper

[Killac67]

terrance ive been waiting for you all my life. i thank god for putting you in my life . ilove you for life baby.

[Travajda]

Exactly .. when i wait for you i can't do any other think ... :( just thinking on you ...

[bootes33]

Don't know if I seem mad for saying this but this really sounds in parts like 'cosmic dancer' by TRex!

[eisstecker]

Nice Song, but did you Filmed this with a Potato?

[ScottyP412]

anybody else notice how much this song sounds like T. Rex's Cosmic Dancer? If youve never heard it, listen to Cosmic Dancer on here. Crazy similar.

[bootes33]

@ScottyP412 sorry I posted about this before I saw your comment - you are absolutely right - even down to the intro of strings in this track by ben is the same - think its been a tad lifted personally as the coincidence it too much but ben harper is great and he does good with it if so -

[birthofeternity]

Ok, just window. Not windshield. :)

[birthofeternity]

And 2:28 - 3:10. From the bus driver and camera lens reflected over the road in the windshield to the guys playing b-ball. I love it with the music. :)

[birthofeternity]

Beautiful video and song.

[babysonify]

I think i saw my house around there ;)

[birthofeternity]

@babysonify What city's this in, if you don't mind? Looks like the US Midwest. Reminds me of Milwaukee.

[HarryBoasting]

48 people got sick of waiting!

[d54f96]

[466angie]

[guiltyonegh]

[drivebyfluffer]

Ben Harper as cool as it gets...always seems to be evolving as a man and an artist. What a great anthem to living life instead of running from it

[MegMac2858]

[kayekattt]

reminds me so much of cat stevens, i love it, this is some heavy shit that reaches deep down inside a person and grabs ahold of your heart.

[pilzlithamsyn]

esta cancion lo dice todo!!! que romanticona soy pero la verdad cuando una persona se enamora espera con toda la paciencia del mundo el amor es puro y sincero!

[TheArdith]

I remember a close friend who had just lost his wife crying to this song. Everytime I hear it I feel his pain. But its a sweet pain.

[close12u]

For my baby in NZ,,, Miss you baby!

[rails29]

[stakesjuan]

Wonderful song, and very well done video, you're very talented

[mabelbbatista]

I love this song and Ben Harper's voice!

I remember my...

[jackder]

pretty much similar to Cosmis dancer by T-rex...... absurd..... but still love Ben...

[marciabarentin]

Nice, i enjoyed the ride by the city. Beleza!

[lozzi8]

*tears*

[Mikeguitaro]

Don't get me wrong i think Ben Harper is amazing but agreed that this is a complete rip of T-Rex, but it is a good song, so really it all comes down to.....If you like the song enjoy it, if you don't then don't because it is pretty much T-rex Cosmic Dancer then fair enough don't listen to it.

[Camina03]

i love this little song!!!!its like me...

[paintymagoo]

WTF is this! EVERYONE BE AWARE THAT THE MUSIC IS TAKEN FROM THE T-REX SONG "COSMIC DANCER".

[mlbr1001]

100% correct, its the same music, beat ...everything...wow if he's going this far, why not just do a cover of Cosmic Dancer??? no respect for this artist at all

[tann3r8]

lol whats up your guy's asses?

its probably a coincidence.

and it does not sound like it.

this guy is a great artist.

besides, alot of songs have the same beat as other songs.

so get the fuck out, you going to talk like that no one will have respect for you.

[BeibaAX]

I, for one, am aware. I don't understand your outrage, though, because nobody owns music...

[wietsketjitske]

Cosmic Dancer idd

[crossfire6CAT]

I find alot of people can relate to these videos because pretty much every has sat in their car listening to some song pondering their thoughts as they watch the world pass by.

[sdhellbilly]

what else can I do? I'll be waiting for you

[Nookinizm]

I agree, ben is great!

[jfdbnite]

this video is great _kinda looks like sabotage _like someone deliberately recorded over a dv tape

[ShaolinSurfer777]

Man I can really feel this song. In the past I felt I took my most beloved friends and family for granted and I made the mistake of not appreciating until they're gone. Don't make the same mistake as me.

[K1NGofAKR0N]

im sorry man it can be hard not to

[deadgirlsbody]

sounds like wish you were here ..

[mlsparey1]

Cosmic Dancer......

[La7uky]

ben is sooo lenny!!

[nod2peace]

I love this video. Great Job.

[meninaLuLu973]

viva portugal :D great job with the vid :P i miss portugal

[philbification]

When he worte this song i doubt he intended for a large youtube battle to precede it.lol.

[1994Tiagosilva]

This is Lisbon? I'm Portuguese! Yeahh! Portugal!

[muckingfuppets]

This is Lisbon, great city!!!

great Country!!

I like a lot Ben Harper, on my top ten!!!

[dcoteusmc]

hahaha *ucking muppets, lol i always call people a mupp, or muppet lol didnt know anyone else did

[muckingfuppets]

:O) you mupp, it's mucking fuppets:).

all the best

[mondark1]

maxmontreality : You cannot deny that good music is being shut aside as terrible artists snatch money from the music industry in a battle of who can make the most offensive/boring hip-hop song.

Your argument with Princess is a lost cause, she's absolutely right, great artists. Of course you can tune into certain satelite radios that will only play good music. but the bottom line is that the modern era of music is being slowly butchered by the self proclaimed "artists" of rap/hip hop/ etc.

[TheManBart]

I'm in awe :o

[BrazilianButterfly30]

waiting for you.....

just waiting for you.... I miss u

[pearlmocc]

such a pretty song. i found out about it from the o.c. :) hehe

[PrincessHeart193]

This song reminds me of pink floyd - wish you were here :) Both songs are absolutely outstanding and so underated :P

5 stars, the vid is amazing

[slippy10101]

...how is "Wish You Were Here" underrated?

[PrincessHeart193]

totally is! With most people in my area anyway. No one these days really appreciates the good stuff anymore

[maxmontreality]

In your area??? wish you were here is one of the most over played, highly rated songs of all time. Probably coz anyone with a spare five minutes can teach themselves how to play it on the guitar.

"no one these days really appreciates the good stuff anymore" what the fuck are you talking about girl. open your eyes and ears and stop talking out your arse.

[PrincessHeart193]

lol! Hey everyone is entitled to an oppinion and actually in ma school you can ask like every person (minus teachers) and they have no idea who Pink floyd even are... so yeah that is actually the truth - seriously I've asked. so yeah, no need to be like that. I can't help the truth

[zilzepz2]

Pure beautiful magic

[eleuteriovanadio]

Aspetterò...

[Orgulloregio]

Eu gosto da idéia do vídeo. visualmente parece muito bom. 5 * ´s. Is it Lisboa?

Je t'aime tant Nathalie Durand!!

[pferdezeit]

@guithero: you are so right!this the music from the heart and the music that keeps me believing in this world... cause people will always go on loving each other...

[chairettes]

has anybody heard rob pattinson's singing voice? he sounds like a mixture of ben harper and jeff buckley. it's so bizarre. i didn't realise until i listened to this song again.

p.s. this song is stunningly beautiful.

[Hollisterbabe987]

You sound like an angel! This is the best song I have "ever" listened to.

[PrettyxRage]

I keep hearing your name, I keep hearing your name...nothing else sounds the same, as hearing your name <3

[neouselly]

We're all waiting for something, but sometimes I wonder if we will ever get what we want..

[madalinamargineanu]

[MacintoshKing]

Well then if thats what you wish , then whats the point of waiting.

[elegyjay]

Another "My Sweet Lord", eh?

[julainosvl]

Ben Harper I don't know whoever you are, but you should know this song is a cut-copy of T-Rex's Cosmic Dancer, from the 'Electric Warrior' album, back in the seventies... even the strings arrangements are equal... C'mon!!!

[slugmantooth]

yeah i noticed that too, both are GREAT songs though and its not a copy right infringment to have the same chord progression, but i to feel your pain. but both songs make it all better :)

[boatiesareawesome1]

Mate your right, unfortunatley the old Em to G progession is perhaps the most communly used chord progression of the alst 20 years. but still you are dead right

[johncarterallen]

i think he is singing about Jesus.

waiting for you...

calling your name...

hearing your name...

hoping for you...

we can waste a lot of time without Him in our lives, if we really put our mind to it.

[Urbanbob]

I've never wanted someone to be so wrong in my life.

[johncarterallen]

hi my friend, don't want to push Jesus on anybody, just thought you should check out Ben Harper's 'Picture of Jesus'. Ben is a man of faith, who has a personal relationship with Jesus and lots of his music speaks of Him. I never believed my entire life, but God used Ben's music to open my spiritual eyes. I pray the same will happen for you.

[Griffcody]

lol like burn one down yeah baby lets get HIGH w/ JESUS

[snowsledin]

sounds exactly like blind mellon no rain

[zoealias]

I keep hoping for you D

[brendafohio]
