  • Thanks Ben. 

  • to all those who write before or after me..... Don't let them take the fight out of YOU! Great song! Like others have said....need more poets who speak the truth as you do, Ben Harper.

  • Music don't discriminate. It motivates. Play on Ben, play on

  • i think youtube made their replay button because of this video

  • thank you ben, this song helped me.. it seems the only person I have to trust in is the words of music and of the bible recently, and losing hope is easy when your only friend is God, "They'll look you in your eyes and stone you, then turn and disown you, dont let them take the fight out you.". Wow.

  • this song keeps me going

  • Genius...

  • I'm really liking his voice.

  • "I would rather take a punch than not give you a shot". wow this guy is deep. great music by a great, legendary artist!

  • Nice work. Very "popish" thou. Still, Harper is the man.

  • nn ho parole per descrivere la sua bravura!!!!!sono incantata!!!!!!!

  • Ben Harper is one of my favorite artists but he sounds like Tone Loc in this song. It's kinda distracting.... Maybe it's just me.

  • "I would rather take a punch than not give you a shot"

  • this is the best, great lyrics!

  • thanks for posting!

    Rock On, Ben !

  • Bob Marley et Ben Harper les best!..

  • 1:15 FAV

  • oops^ 0 TO 1:15 FAV

  • This song has so much soul! It's more on the pop side for Ben, but he does it well. Don't let it take the fight out of you!

  • Ilm est tellement classe c ouf

  • They'll say you're their one and only and then they'll eave you lonely .Don't let em take the fight out of you...Harper is absolutely awesome!

  • saw him twice in Rome.. Thank God that gave us this kind of Angel he is...:)

  • Bob, Ben and and the black Englishman, Lemar Obika are the three most beautiful men in the world. And then they can go and sing.

  • No wonder Laura Derns smiles a lot !

  • nice song, great lyrics!

  • the lyric is so true and depressing :(

    so beautifull :)

  • no arguing, just listen to this nice song :)

  • And you, baristabrian, I think you are really rapid to call someone an "idiot" when he have an other opinion as your.

    Listen to "another lonely day", Ben Harper, when he wants, can have a beautyful voice, that we can call a "smoth" voice, without speaking of all the soul and emotion in his voice and way of singing.

  • For those of you that don't know, a "smoth" is a hybrid mix between a snake and a moth. Apparently they have singing voices with the range of a 5th, although they usually tend to sing one monotonous note... You learn something new every day!

  • LMAO

  • Sorry, it's "smooth" and not smoth I wanted to say.

    You can't compare seriously the voices of Ben Harper and Bob Dylan!

  • this song has great lyrics,

    i love it

  • Great song! He has a smooth voice. Good lyrics, too!

  • Comment removed

  • His voice is like warm honey.....

  • guru cheerleader.

  • questa canzone è fantastica e molto sensuale!

    mi piace tantissimo!

  • Ben Harper's music has enhanced my life :) Good stuff

  • grande artista ................

  • he is so damn beautiful

  • La sua melodia ti rilassa e le sue parole ti fanno riflettere...un ARTISTA

  • GREAATNESS itself

  • What a pro...

  • Hes a legend

  • bellissima canzone... Ben sei un grande...

    by italy...

  • bellissima canzone.... Ben sei un grande.. by italy!! Areeba!

  • THATS good music!

  • not only is he a true poet, but this man has got it figured out, life that is

  • great song. kinda reminds me of Amos Lee. Nah, Amos is still better. good song though.

  • Sorry but you can't get much better than Ben Harper

  • I LOVE AMOS LEE! But I could never compare him to Ben. Ben Harper's lyrics are beyond amazing compared to most artists I hear now.

  • i like this song but i think its cuz he got a Al green feel to this song

    other than that ben harper's got some good stuff

  • i love this man!

  • this blokes well up there ,big inspiration ,..

  • his

    words

    are

    my

    bible

  • classic

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE.

    This song really comforts me and reminds me to keep fighting no matter what.

  • jack johnson and john butler trio are good

  • Does anyone know about any artists that play music similar to this? I've listened to Ben Harper so much, and I love his music, but now I'm looking for something new.

    Thanks

  • yea john butler trio

  • try xavier rudd...also very good

  • Rahi High - check out his Rome song - good stuff

  • ben is god of acoustic guitar!!!!!!!!!!

  • BURN ONE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This song should have been part of the Barack Obama campaign! He's victory gave hope to all the world!

  • u obama ppl are obsessed, just let us enjoy the music! geez!

  • "u obama people"? i'm not even american my friend! But i understand why you get that wrong idea... i just said it would be a great campaign song, it has a lot of power. But like you said, lets just enjoy the music :)

  • Seriously man? Obama, you know what he is about?  If you did you would be too.

  • Yeah actually. Would've been good.

  • I don't think this song even has anything to do with politics. It wouldn't have fit anyway. And yeah, enough Obama stuff... music should be a chance to get away from the lies of politics in general (red and blue).

  • "better way" would have been a better choice.

    But, really, you think Obama had the balls to use a tune performed by the guy who wrote "Burn one Down"?

  • This is one of my favorite songs! I love Ben Harper! genius! ;o)

  • Ben you are a beautiful and amazing soul!!!

  • I love Ben to death. He's a one in a million.

  • der kann doch net singen !!!

    was soln des

  • wieso hörst es dan du spast, ben harper is einfach nur der hammer hör mal paar andere songs. BEN HARPER ROCKZZZ

  • sorry! reg dich mal ab

    hab halt nur des eine lied angehört

    hab halt nen andern musikgeschmack

  • Genau Ben Harper kann nicht singen und du hast Ahnung o.O

  • war kla dass du hipp hopp hörst spacken!

  • j'ai badé pendant trois minutes 55, j'aime ce gars il est trop classe.

  • ah the internet....lol

  • 0 to 1:15 fav.

  • Aaah, j'avais jamais vu le clip ! Evidemment toujours aussi magnifique, ce Ben... ♥

  • tekkenjam, the deal wid dat is it is better to have loved someone than have never loved anybody ever, which i dont really beleive

  • This is my favorite song by him, even though I don't know what it is about. Some of the stuff in it IS genius and just, so pure. I love it.

  • my feeling is that he is whispering "dont let them take the fight outta u" in the ear of all the downtrodden who feel they might be down for the count, on the ropes without much hope. i feel he is speaking to the gays in the beginning, blacks, latino, the heart broken, the sick etc... later in song. just my 2 cents

  • Impresionante

  • fantastic

  • canzone che mi fa sciogliere..emozionante

  • 'I'd rather find out who you are, than who you're not'

    Pure genius.

  • muy buen tema!

  • Truest sentence ever.."I would rather take a punch than not give you a shot"

  • almost like "better to have loved than to never loved at all" i dont really get the meaning of this line the whole not thing confuses the shit out of me

  • LOve Ben Harper he liberates and enlightens

  • Ben Harper is amazing. I don't like him singing in his lower register though. It's not very flattering. It's too low for him to sing in my opinion. It doesn't really flaunt his uniqueness and all that happy jazz.

  • I'd disagree, i think hes trying to do something different and he does it well. Having said that i love his old blues and roots fuelled rock

  • you are a straight out idiot

  • Inspiring

  • LOve Ben Harper he is enliberating and enlightining I think he is a prophet.

  • this guy is hektik playing dis song on guitar

  • je t'adoooore Ben!!!

  • Man Ben Harper has evolved so much over the years. Here he's all soul and gospel, but he's gone from blues, rock, surf acoustic, funk. Perhaps one of the msot versatile performers of the last 10 years

  • love this man. Was awesome in Werchter!

  • Last night Ben was at Les Vieilles Charrues,a french festival;it was magic,he's the best!

  • i was there too, it was a really amazing concert, really moving, loved his solo, i have an amazing picture taken by the girl on my shoulders xD fantastic way to start the festival

  • i'm not a big ben harper fan, but this music is great!

  • Saw this last night on National Geographic Music....love this song. Dammit, I HAVE let em' take the fight outta me now and then and this just reminds me not to let em' roll over me. Thanks Ben, for the nudge. I can feel my hand forming a fist right now. Building strength to stand tall and firm in the face of those who would choose to render me weak.

  • just saw ben at hyde park, absolutely incredible

  • saw him as well, at the gig with jack johnson! didn't even know he was going to be there, it was amazing!

  • Ben Harper is The best!

  • merci !

  • ...mi chiedo cosa voglia dire esattamente in italiano "fight outta you" forse è lo stesso di "you ought to fight"?

  • vuol dire di non lasciare gli altri prendere la tua forza. "outta" is slang for "take out of"

  • Grazie. Non è sempre facile capire le espressioni gergali di un'altra lingua.

    Thanks. Is not always easy to understand slang expressions belonging to an other language.

  • Ben Harper is a defining artist of this generation in my opinion.

  • Great dimisbeach, you prove you can read and copy other people's comments. How bout sumtin more original next time?

  • Tout simplement superbe ! On ne se lasse pas de cet ARTISTE !

  • Ben Harper is a breath of fresh air in this polluted and stale music world. He is the future of great, pure, real music that died too long ago. The best is Ben!

  • agreed

  • your right! so fresh

  • totally man.

  • Ben ! Merci ! T'es trop fort avec tes innocents criminels ! T'inquiète je serais là pour Lifeline !

  • i would gladly take a punch, then not give you a shot im your greatest fan and would bet on you ben... know you have already won the fight..stay up for me baby boy.

  • ...Je preférerais recevoir un coup

    Plutôt que de ne pas te donner une chance

    Je preférerais découvrir la personne que tu es...

  • hahahaha "Dude, chill the fuck down" hehehehe sorry... c yaap homs

  • hahahahaha :D

  • hey u ......YES U !! ...hello XD

  • yea? :)

  • Ben Harper is a breath of fresh air in this polluted and stale music world. He is the future of great, pure, real music that died too long ago. The reason that he isn't mainstream is because he chooses not to sell out. That is the enlightenment of music, when you play not for the fame or money, but to cleanse and distribute peace and love for all who listen. Thanks Ben, you are truly a legend, hope to see you again in Cleveland at the House Of Blues.

  • AMEN BABY!(even though I'm not religous, it just sounds good)I live and breath Ben because I love all music and Ben is a musical genius! I feel his sound deep in my bones it runs through my blood like wild fire....

    TAKE CARE....

  • the great thing about ben is that he got like two different voices. one lighter and another one darker. Its great for a guy in his position. Hes on top of he career so he can do all kinds of songs. Lighter songs and more accoustic. Keep fighting.
