I saw Ben last week at Shepherds Bush ... he was amazing. His label mates Fossil Collective supported him and were also amazing ... and I met everyone after and both bands posed for pictures .... English alternative acoustic music is alive and well xx
reminds me a little of Death Cab for Cutie - I will follow you into the dark. Fans of this guy should check out Bright eyes, Ben howard, laura marling etc :). (I'm not promoting just sharing the musical love eh? :D)
@Laspher Haha, yeah, the first chord in this song is the same as "i will follow you into the dark", bright eyes is way more 'indie' than this, doesn't really sound anything like it, the 'people', should really check out elliott smith, john mayer, william fitzsimmons, city & colour etc. i don't want to be a cunt but get your shit right. but most of all check out radical face, especially the songs ghost towns, welcome hone son, a pound of flesh :)) the best singsongwriter ever.
@Laspher but i do love you for mentioning all these good bands, so no hard feelings. thanks for reminding me about all these good bands that i forgot about
I always loved her... Always.... and she just couldnt feel the same.... The only thing that keeps me going is my little dog, A single best friend, and this song.... Benjamin, Thank you.
Hi, i'm a 17 year old singer/songwriter falling under the genre - 'Urban-Progressive-Folk'...if you have a moment, would really appreciate a listen to my new acoustic live video of one of my songs 'Her Autumn Son'. On my YOUTUBE PAGE! For some Folk/RAP! Cheers X
The very first guitar notes in this song sounds just like the beginning of Death Cab For Cutie's I will follow you into the dark. However, love this song. So so much.
When my girlfriend and I broke up, this was the only song I listened to for a very long time. We started talking again briefly enough to find out that she was listening to it as well. It's been a while since I've talked to her. Beautiful song.
Hi. I was just wondering if anyone would like to check out a few of my demo's.? Not been doing this too long but would be good to get some feedback and just for more people to see my material. Just click on my username and just have a listen. Please. :)
i live in vancouver and my friend in toronto that i havent seen for sooo long just sent me a text with the link to this song and wrote this reminded me of you... ily and imy
omg i just heard this and cried. its so beautiful and just make me smile... just like my friend JENN IF YOUR SEEING THIS I JUST WANNA LET YA KNOW I GOT YOUR MESSAGE THANKS FOR KEEPING MY IN MIND I LOVE YOU TIL THE DAY WE MEET AGAIN ILY WITH ALL MY HEART IMY
@arta91 What youre seeing here is some of the best music beind brought out in this tainted music industry. He deerves praise, it doesnt just calm me down it elevates my vision of God's world and are place within his kingdom.
I've recently decided to start becoming a singer songwriter and recorded an acoustic demo at my school in like an hour with my mate. Would love it if people checked it out.
This song is pretty-ish, but it's just a simple variation on a theme that's been bashed to death so many times it just isn't interesting any more. Good luck BFL, but come back when you're through adolescence
I'm spreading the word about my new YouTube channel!
The idea is to create a channel dedicated to discovering new artists of all sorts of genre's and putting there stuff out there on the page, everybody I've talked to likes the idea so it's looking positive! So if anybody likes the idea of a channel that recommends new artists to you regularly just give this a 'vote up' to help spread the word.
@RayanneLouisee - apolofies if i affend but i'll be honest & say i'd not heard of Benjamin until recently so my views are prob limited but Ed does somethings on his album & even better live which a lot wouldnt even try...
I have just started to record my own tracks and would be reeet grateful if you could take a listen :) Just click my username and have a look ? please :) xx
This music is simply fantastic. It's so true and pure and the video is just indescribable! Thankyou Radio 6 for introducing me to this wonderful, wonderful artist :D
Went to see Benjamin Francis Leftwich tonight in the sugar club in Dublin.. What an experience, listening to his voice is like listening to a full orchestra compliment.. Sounds like a million notes all in perfect tune.. Only one word for it.. BEAUTIFUL...
I'M SURE nobody will read this, and I know how annoying it is to see advertisments but I had to do something, I've tried to get a band together but there's simply nobody around my area. So I tried for once doing acoustic. I attempted covering "The A Team"
it's definately not the best out there, but there you go :)
I'd be so happy for atleast one of you reading this to watch my cover on my channel, but hey, if you don't have the time, thank you for even taking the time to read this. <3
@Sorchpork Well theirs alot of artists out there that deserve to be listened to but Benjamin, hes one talented man. He must have studied english at oxford or something.LOL.
