BEN HARPER "Please Bleed"

[WestonDroege]

such a good song

[joeblo1990]

at the end he looks like the italian guy of sweeney todd

[VvAnarchangelvV]

Perhaps one of the 32 (at posting time) who voted for Koshermal's "I'm not thankful the i like women." can explain to us what that means. Or Koshermal, but that's like getting Gorge Brush to explain the 2nd invasion of Iraq.

[Bettsn95]

i have one wish and that is for ben harper to sing to me inperson.

[bestpaintballer]

best Ben Harper song

[AngelOfTime]

I love this song. But I love the live version better.

[jczother]

@AngelOfTime I like all his music live...

[AngelOfTime]

@jczother me too but this song live is more emotional.

[Gottaloan4u]

[D3M0NICZ0MBI3]

I love this song it explains exactly what I am goin through -_\\

[mauroneg]

[ib7tka]

[888peanut888]

his voice just fits the depressing tone and deeeeep guitars of this song so well.

[FAWNMAIDEN]

[SultryHellion]

OMG HOW MANY OF US FEEL LIKE THIS NOW!!! This song gets me in the chest! God Ben, your so deep!!!

[TheArdith]

is this really living? - I wouldn't want to ask myself that more than once!

[numerounohannahfan]

this song is amazing! sends shivers up my spine

[danuggman]

Ben did this in Athens on Friday night, and it shocked me, some of the songs he poured out..... it was like old and new Ben all at once, in the setting of a SMALL theater of about 2,500... Now live music gets NO better!!! 1 of the better shows I've seen period, from the Dead to Snoop... Ben takes 'em all :) If u get a chance to see a College Conscious show DO IT!!!

[sinate6669]

this song is better then the first time i put my hand on a chick lol haha

[tadowjonez]

BHIC is MINT!! Always n' 4eva'

[7achi]

this and Amen Omen are my two favorite Bh songs.... he is fucking awesome. his songs fit SOOO many times in my life, i love this guy.... not in a gay way koshermal lol

[roxy2103]

[boonesusan]

Awesome performance, which I have found is the norm with Ben Harper. He is raw, unconventional, sincere, and every note is from the heart. I love this song.

[Azirafail]

Love it!

[sinate6669]

Fuckn nice guitar playing !!!!!!!!!!

[inkblotangel]

[renwickextreme]

[peacecaretrust]

"Please bleed

So I know that you are real

So I know that you can feel

The damage that you've done "

great lyrics

[bendmywhammy]

wow this is hard hitting both music and lyrics

[humpmastajoe16]

this video seems pretty intense with the blood running down the walls.

[xXxJandAxXx]

I saw him live the other night, it was the best 6 1/2 hours of my life!

[gypsyqueen1964]

Good lovers make great enimies.  So very true! I love this song so much. I just found Ben harper a few months ago and I loveeeeeeeeee his music! I feel this song too, Inside my heart.

[Sustiene]

great song but juan's haircut is horrible!!! :-)

[twistedgalg]

Never said thank you

Never said please

Never gave reason to believe

So as it stands

I remain on my knees

Good lovers make great enemies

"if your lover send you this song be careful ... he is up for a great fight .

[Southsidebanger09]

ben is a genius i love his music

[gypsyqueen1964]

The lyrics are absolutely right on. And that lead is the Shit!

[BellaNeves]

[metyssmusic]

[vanessahjkeys]

turn out the lights and let me stare into your soul....Ben is gorgeous in this video.

[Suroha]

I like it, but I don't like what he did with his hair. I like his afro better.

[RobTrain09]

wow check ben out getting all rocky n us, sweet lol

[Jesse12345]

I think maybe people should read the lyrics before making a comment

[chicoricov2]

i love the acoustic version of this song on the live from mars album.. ben harper is the best

[PenjiProductions]

BEN HARPER ROCKS!!

[yellowcat25]

Linked her by Swiftkaratechop <3

[Shanelly54]

[TotalTimeout]

[actorbaybee]

i clicked it cause im into the same music as him lol

[sweden92]

I don't get it...what is wrong with thta? I got to this song by my love for disney...And by that i saw the movie hercules. And there was the song Go The Distance.. And i started to like Michael Bolton. And he had a version of sexual healing. And i started to listen to that song. and after a while i found Marvin Gayes version. And after that Ben's. And finally i am here...really amazing artist. There are many ways to great music!:)

[XxXxPunkyEmoGirlxXxX]

he kinda looks like a dude from "Lost"

[LionCome]

A man, a woman, a sort of love. She was a beautiful woman but he did a lot of ugly things to turn her world around. In his own way he loved her too. Trying to be his own man, conquer the world when he couldnt, she became his last stand. He was cowboys, she was indians. John Trudell

[pi13571]

Muito bom!

[annarekey]

This is good stuff right here. Banged alot of chicks to your songs bro. keep up the goodness. Cheers!

[sleekcartim]

interesting how haters claim to love his songs of understanding, then openly hate in the name of ben, right here in comment section. hypocricy is ugly.

[K1k1m4ro]

Ben Harper you are a GOD. This song is really amazing

[Canadiangurrrl420]

I strongly agree!

[gnarlythotep]

W.T.F couldn't put it better myself. Dig the groove and get real whine whine whine. If you're bent be happy your bent, if you're straight be happy you're straight and if you into shagging sheep then wear your wellie boots with pride. Ah ha ha ha.

[binloved]

hahahahaaaa!

[sandrew021]

OMG! He's amazing! Always blown away by him.

[sleekcartim]

"i was born & bled for you to hold, please bleed, so ill know that ur real, so i know that u can feel, the damage that youve done, oh who have i become?" gay love is real, i made it to u despite the church, thank you god.

[BrucesReptiles]

You're uneducated.

[GuitarBotzi]

Innocent Criminals, come back!!

[enjoiCam]

amazing

[norcalnerd08]

Ben Harper is an amazing and moving songwriter and his voice just kills me. This song is my current obsession; I've decided its the song that best characterizes my last late great relationship.

[am1llion2juan]

so simple yet so intense..

[ellieweesy]

ben harper is an amazing artist but what the hells up with the comments at the bottom about fags? how has peoples sexual orientation got anything to do with this song?WTF

[sleekcartim]

open ur mind. put urself into a gay persons life where all ur taught is being gay is evil, YOU are evil, hate urself cuz ppl like u have no compassion, or understanding. u know for a fact u cant change who u r, no matter how much blood flows down the wall, body, soul real & imagined. what wud u say 2 god & jesus then? IF you can imagine this lifes pain, then listen to this song again. then be thankful you can be str8 again. then watch "fight out of you" by ben which is equally relevant. 1 life

[koshermal]

I'm not thankful the i like women. It sucks the way gay folk are treated for being gay. I wouldn't have thought myself, to put that theme to this song, but it fits.

[okanagansage]

dudes got soul

[sugarraygras]

great song,great musician

[Ramskill85]

havent heard this song in years! still my favourite!

if ya like ben harper, listen to john butler trio! i recommend ocean!

[mullahnasruddinQQ]

This is just another great piece of art by mr harper!

I do love this close to life attitude and lyrics!

There is a great liverecording of this song there the blood is truly in his voice not only running down the walls, though thats great too!

There must be life!

[HAFA74]

I don't care if some dudes wanna be with dudes or some chicks wanna be with chicks or whatever? What bothers me is that people get so sensitive over little things. Like the word fag or gay... Sometimes when people use these words it has nothing to do with being a homosexual. Like the word pimp- a pimp used to be a person who had a stable of working girls... now it can mean many things.

[rt11x]

When you say "Accept All" You mean all -except- those who don't accept you. Practice what you preach hypocrites. I understand my position, you seem to be blurry on your own. Look inside yourself for answers, stop regurgitating the media.

Harper <3

[HarryB56]

fags r fags what can i say. harpers the man

[Conail23]

perhaps the high rate of'gay' suicide demonstrates one aspect of what an emotionally unhealthy lifestyle it is. you can't blame ppl's actions on everyone else. if they r committing suicide soemthing isn't right & blaming it on everyone else is just ignorant

[mekos]

So Love Him!!

[rt11x]

Ben Harper <3

[Toxicadam]

"Good lovers make great enemies" is one of the greatest lyrics of all time.

[schoko93x]

good song... but i think it's just not his style

[chaos4316]

yeah coz you would know wouldn't ya! Maybe you should give him a quick call and just tell him to stick to gospel! Nice comment

[crooster52991]

cool it libarachi- its an accurate comment.

[sleekcartim]

dont pigeon hole the man, i think it's different cuz he wants you understand it's important powerful msg

[di1mg]

"good loveres make great enemies" i agree with that, no doubt about it, but when the love is strong nothing is able to beat it.

[sleekcartim]

I dunno...i think he may be talking bout the church when he sings that. it's more in keeping with the theme of the song.

[sleekcartim]

ben is love

[sleekcartim]

song speaks well to the gay struggle

[ThisIsPipeline2]

Sleekcartim:

If you think there is such thing as a 'gay struggle' its because you make it a struggle, being gay is only a sturggle if you choose it to be

i htink your one of those people that like it being a strugle so you choose it to be that way, its not really a struggle is it? think of people that are really struggling: people with no food, or dieing all over the world, or harshly desabled people.

shesh!

[sleekcartim]

tell that to the gay friends i lost to suicide

[seanyo9]

one of the highest suicide rates is in gay people, because people are so absent-mindedly unaccepting. are they so different from you and me? why does it matter, their preference? you're saying sex(and the ability to reproduce) is more important than love in a relationship? because i know a damn many gay couples that are more loving and better suited than very many straight couples. isn't that enough, to be in love and thus get married without people like you making it harder?

[seanyo9]

ps that was directed towards ThisIsPipeline. and another thing, yes, there are more pressing struggles, but why would that mean this one should be ignored when its an easy fix. LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. difference isn't bad, accept all.

[ThisIsPipeline2]

what the hell, your just agreeing with what im saying, im saying that it shouldnt be a struggle? and your coming back at me with exactly what i already believe?

[seanyo9]

you made it sound like you didn't think it should be a struggle because it doesn't matter. their rights do matter. so shouldn't we fight for their rights rather than ignoring the problem?

[ChutneyVerde]

io amo quest'uomo

[firefighta78]

Live from Mars are the two greatest cds i own.

you inspire me everyday ben. thank you.

[JaaayyDub]

I love the live from Mars stuff especially woman in you. its MAGICAL. and i third ashley and brave's statements, hes so amazing.

[bravesat2]

damn i aint used to this style from him....but your right asheley, hes helped me through some tough times to and no matter how depressing or whatever you describe is music it touches the soul...

[ashleyfarmerwhite]

I have listened to Ben Harper for the last 8 years and he has helped me with heartache and breakups, there is something about his music it doesnt matter how bad you feel it makes you feel better its soothes the soul. Many nights have I played live from mars on repeat crying my eyes out but beleive it or not the next day I felt better. I LOVE HIM. HE 'S SO deep and he really made me get into music more and be more open minded.

[slink311]

I was in Bham for the Ben Harper show... damn it was bone chilling. that man is amazing!!!

[Imsotired07]

I was there too. It was awesome, man puts his heart into it for sure

[bwoodplayer64]

dang ben harper played in b'ham al last night and i missed it. that sucks so badly

[catahan1]

so fucking awsome

[BimbaCloe]

per favore sanguina, così so che sei REALE ...

non ho parole! S T U P E N D A

[EnterSandman27]

I prefer this studio version of Please Bleed more than the live acoustic version for the reason that I love the drums in this song...the verse beat is in the pocket and the chorus beat has alot of feel in it.

[jujuajeru]

Ben is definitely one of the best!!!

but this song is better at the acoustic version

[vetherantis]

I cant get enough of Ben Harper.

The lyrics are fucking superb!He says things that real people can relate too. Not painting pictures of perfect love, the perfect world and everything else other artists would have you believe.Its real, its raw, its painful..and we can fucking relate to that!

Keep writing Ben!Tell it how it is!

Beautiful..just beautiful.

xxx

[avocadess]

I just want to walk right into that video and be there...!!!

[alle1977]

This is a great song from a great artist, I love the lyrics too.. I've seen him live twice in Italy(Rimini and Milan) and it was amazing.

[koralYreefY]

i LOVE this SONG!!!!!!

you are soooo amazing Ben!!!

i only hope that someday everyone will know who you are and listen to your songs with open minds and open hearts like i have . . . keep the REAL messages coming.

[BlackAdder6]

OF COURSE LIVE FROM MARS IS BETTER!!

he is like 2892984ukrhgkjlfsbjkf times better live.

Always and forever no matter what this guys rocks the most when he is just jammin w/ the criminals

[sleepwalker103]

This is the only one I have seen, but it really gets to me. He is truly great.

[mikwildcats]

[xabimetraia]

The versiaon I like the most is the one from World cafe live, I love it!!

[susanabuhrer]

I agree with you, rfmaatouk.

That version is so much sincere...could make make the heartless one bleed!

[rfmaatouk]

[trouduc00]

WTF! only 83000 views in 1 1/2 yrs! for sure it'a f*****g world we're living in!

[arnoldized]

the live from mars version is better i think

[amourcommesang]

agreed

[CostaCostaCosta]

yeah i think that too

[dailyjoy]

Even when he sings about negative stuff.

I still feel musical peace.

I'm glad his soul is was saved from the commercial zone that other artists follow.

[WarmothGuitarist]

[terminite]

[ElmoCML]

This song is actually ridiculous. Amazing lyrics, great instruments. I love that Ben Harper dodges the main stream and still manages to achive to achieve an amazing following of fans. Great Song, Great Singer, and a Great Band, what more could you ask for.

P.S. The guitar is unreal in this song

[auroski]
