Ben Harper - Ashes

[vesteraalen]

personally i think he sounds like Eagle eye cherry, good stuff

[grantdawg07]

allison kraus's voice in the background was a nice touch to this song, and i assume it's her playing the mandolin as well.. great combo

[TheZimmy84]

u can be mellow and not have to lean on the sticky icky. its not about the weed its about the music. i dont smoke at all and im the most chill person. i jam Jack johnson ben harper donovan frankenrieter, G Love, Matt costa, zack gill, and the blues.

weed i think is just a way for pot heads to say Im cool and chill cuz i i get high. well bump that get high on life and music  instead of weed. this music is so good u dont have to high to enjoy it.

[daziel6]

Ive got to find out where that second image was taken :0

[tarshorceceliah]

Im pretty sure its a sin not to blaze a blunt when this song is playing. Mellow for life

[Martothe111]

THis song always makes me think about my grandma who passed away in december. such a meanigful song <3

[adam9256]

Yo Ben Harper and Jim and His Sea Men are the chillest on the scene!! Jammin up a storm, they are!!

[50daysofnight]

I love this song... makes me sooo sad. It is so true though.

[1eyes1]

great song but jack johnson ihas no part in this song, Own all ben harpers albums. AShes to ashes.

[1eyes1]

great song but jack johnson ihas no part in this song, Own all ben harpers albums. AShes to ashes. Great song though

[Heike0815]

supersüß :-))))

[Krojian]

No Jack, but there is Alison Kraus in the background.

[THINKgreenWITHpeace1]

Love the images i think it shows life.

[viisoo]

i just love this song.. so deep!

[forever1401]

um cara mais simples ?

[LBCMusician420]

With my own two hands by Ben Harper is in my opinion, his best song! But all of his music is brilliant!

[beastballa45]

this song is called "ashes" not the will to live, or ashes to ashes.. just ashes. and its on the will to live album by ben harper. Jack Johnson is not featured on this song

[Louisbagger]

This is my birthday present thank u universe.

[myspoonis2bigmyspoon]

wow what an amazing peice of music

[hahaeliz]

I don't want to be a negative Nelly... but I absolutely can NOT stand Ben Harper. Not a fan of his gospel/soul/ overly mellow music.... He does have a beautiful voice, but it only shines in certain songs.

[Heinousness]

@hahaeliz

hes got tons of more upbeat and not so mellow songs.

[shlockg13]

@hahaeliz Then dont listen to him, your opion is like an ass hole it stinks

[grantdawg07]

the mandolin is a nice touch in this song.

[LadyattheWell7]

love his voice! guitar is total~~~~ yes! so peaceful "hush don't you make a sound, you're gonna let me down The Will to Live" is so beautiful!

[sexiiboy789]

this is ashes by ben harper and alison kraus who the fuk could you think that was jj its still an amazing song though

[blosserd]

CHECK OUT MY MUSIC! Jack Johnson is my biggest inperation along with John Mayer. i haven't yet come across somone who doesn't like my work. so please do an insiring musician a favor and check out what i've created. thank you all.

[jordomatio]

Will do!

[benrocksharper]

Awesome!

[MeWithMoe]

What's Jack doing at 3.40? :P

[19JM0NEY19]

wow kid grow up

[wakold]

what is the real title of this song? and why is it written jack johnson on the title?

[gadzooks429]

"ashes"

[DetroitShadows]

found the carpet cleaner in the back cupboard

[24CRED24]

hawaii

[Rakii0n]

I'd be scared to mess up at 1:00 :P

[castagnazen]

this song is not the will to live.. and there isn't jack here..

[arschkopfable]

where are the pctures of the great land??

[AuzzyBum]

im with you SpecialTreatment08. there are just some things in life that you shouldnt talk about, religion is one of them. i believe in many of the ways of living from all different kinds of religion, not actually a chosen religion, but you never know who ur gonna offend when you argue bout it all.

[Brightwing1994]

Isn't that called being an Eclectic witch or something like that? Anyway, I agree, unless your talking privately with someone you know is your religion. Ugh, like a couple weeks ago at school this girl started going on about the witch hunts and how they tortured the witches and burned them in the middle of history class right out loud, and how so many 'witches religion' are so messed up. I know I shouldn't have, but I walked over and smacked her XD Then I got detention for two days -.-

[InimishusAnimo]

This is just Ashes-Ben harper. Great song. But where's Jack???

[jaquelinereis24]

adoroooo!!!

[ukulazy]

WHOA FREAKY that second picture is my desktop pic right now XD

that blew my mind for a few seconds...

[labanpitmanjohnson]

and i do think ben is (in ur shitty words) saved. he has found a deeper connection. a peace within himself. and a love for life. jesus's message. but fuck it. lets join an organised religion.

[labanpitmanjohnson]

i think ur all rediculous... ben is saved? and u think that means when hes dead he will live in the light while we all burn? like theres an almight man and earth is the centre of the universe? i dont get how anyone can belive such shit. jesus was a great man. who preached enlightenment and a message that had nothing to do with "god" being a cunt in the sky. i hope everyone becomes "saved." but for our own planet. its awesome how we still cant understand jesus's message. well fuckin done team

[Serenity00674]

ridiculous(theres an I, not an E

[labanpitmanjohnson]

thanks

[SpecialTreatment08]

despite the spellingt errors, you have some point.

Although, you claim faith is ridiculous, yet you have faith in the evidence againt "god."

This argument is pathetic. If you don't personally have belief, what gives you the right to ridicule the ones that do. These men are brilliant, and have inspired millions with there music.

So leave them, and get off the internet and have this conversation with the real life people.

[girlyProff]

@SpecialTreatment08 soz meant to click good comment... i dnt kno y i keep missing the buttons lol!!

[fansofbands]

ok. but if u are so sure tell me why u think he is saved? im not trying to start a fight im just curious why u think he is saved

[Jelzzy81]

This song is called "ashes to ashes" and it is written by Ben Harper. Jack Johnson is not featured in this song at all. Allison Krauss is the female voice singing along.

[fansofbands]

i dont think bob ben and jack will be in heaven guys. do u guys know what getting saved is?

[phuq1deology]

do you know what bullshit is?

[alifewithoutsolace]

whee whoo whoo whoo!!! as i was reading down i was just following the train of conversation and i saw it as,Why do you think he's saved? jjus curious. to- Do you know what getting saved is? to- do you know what bullshit is? and i ad one of those snort out your drink out of your nose moments laughing. oooooh jack is saved!!1 ooohh. funny people. fighting for belief, merely for my entertainment(not to mention whatever relief u get) hahahaahhahahahahahahahahehehe­hehehahahaeheheheah

[jmlb52]

Ben Harper did a gospel album. Also, ever heard the song Power of the Gospel? It's on Fight for Your mind... As for JJ, I'm almost sure he is what you call "Saved."

[Venafraguelrock]

yeah!, they are the best!, son los mejores!

[tnesty]

I will add to the previous comment. Pray to god I can hear Bob, Ben, Dave, Jack, and Bradley.....in heaven

[danJS90]

RIP Brad

[21hockeykid21]

i want to hear jack Johnson ben harper n bob marley one day up in heaven

[toddjamesa]

Man this sounds like some old school country base with a little blue grass and jazz with the clarinet... WoW

[Levottomat01]

when that solo starts the picture of that island is where i live! LORD HOWE ISLAND

[temanatahiti]

lucky b**stard!!!

[sychokilla]

that shit looks awsome.

[THEspindoctor84]

the guitar duet in the middle with the tremelo's and stuff give it a very blue grass feel, pretty cool

[germangermanyer]

that is just ben harper with ashes to ashes.. no jack no will to live.. just ben harper-ashes to ashes.. noobs :D

[blurrybigfoot74]

If you listen carefully you can hear Jack smoking a joint out in the parking lot. In b flat.

[hardbodysurfer]

LOL

[usernameblaahh]

what?

[blurrybigfoot74]

I didn't say anything.

[SweetUpDown40]

isnt this just the studio version of ashes which doesnt have jack?

[ahsina87]

well yes... d song IS ashes to ashes but if u hear carefully jack johnson is singing too.... hes givin d harmony nd playin d acoustic too

[evilscotsman1]

the person doing the harmonising is a woman ..

[kindguy420]

i think it's allison krause

[jremmy1616]

this is a beutiful piece of music

[sconnor922]

This is "ashes to ashes" not "the will to live" and Jack Johnson is not in this... at all

[vjsiscoe]

A great mistake then OMG the musice is so beautiful.

[bigdumface]

@sconnor922 so glad you corrected that. annoyed me as soon as i heard the start lol

[TUGcrew01]

@sconnor922 actually he's in the first picture shown on the left, but you're right, he doesn't play in the song...at all

[Martothe111]

@sconnor922 Its actually just "ashes" haha :)

[jessastarshine]

this song is so pretty wtf ;-;

[Dsanchez1979]

his voice is so chilllllllllllllllls

[jesus295]

jack isn't in this

[jesus295]

excellent song though and nice video.

[HawaiiAccoustic]

He doesn't sing, but he, along with Ben is playing the acoustic.

[magellenproject]

The Track is actually called Ashes eup5.

[JayJaySX]

Aha! Twat.

[Flimmerjung]

[madzangels]

[goldendragonq77]

sorry jack and ben but im gunna have to go with johny frusciante on this one and say the will to death is better.

[emiliorsene]

its a joke...... right?

i love jack johnson, ben harper and frusciante too :D

[goldendragonq77]

yeah because this song is called the will to live, and john frusciante has a song called the will to death. just a joke guys.

[FreeTibet97]

This song is Ashes, from the album The Will to Live. Jack Johnson had nothing, NOTHING, to do with this song, what-so-ever.

[coloneljj]

This is one of very very few songs that makes me

....kind of really sad ....

[HarryWateTheGreat]

Awesome song!!!

[TheChoada]

He isnt on this track. this is the album version of one of Bens songs. False advertising!

[ClickrGrl]

I think he's playing guitar and Ben's singing... sounds that way to me anyway...

Nice song though. I love Ben Harper!!

[thecop619]

where the fuck is Jack Johnson at in this song?

[magda976]

Good question.

[seamonster82]

This music just makes me want to get high

[dowsey02]

[Ko0lSavas]

I Love this Song!!!! Jack Johnson 4 ever PEACE FROM AUSTRIA!!

[LongHorn7488]

i judt listen to alot of jack johnson n it makes me wanna be a 10 times better person now. hes just so calming.

[smeethu]

00:25 is the wet side of the big island of hawaii. You can see it on a helicoptor tour.

[atebane]

is this hawaii or something?

[rossija1]

not all, but alot of it is. the massive wave at 1:30 is almost definitely "jaws" on maui, and the waterfall soon after is "rainbow falls" outside of hilo. aloha

[kadinhobh]

Meu deus,são os melhores!!

i love their music!!

peace from Brasil!

[willowrunponies]

ashes to ashes. . . c'est la vie. . .comme il est beau!

[ferraro62]

if you look up the will to live lyrics its not what hes singing...i dont think this is the will to love?

[zapma]

[MrSquirrels]

The Will To Live is the name of the album.

[ibeate]

[illaka]

[ignorethestatic]

This guy can write some of the best music..this stuff can take you places

[snoozeyoulose19]

[pumarob]

I dont like to be critical about titles, but this is Ashes, and not a version with Jack johnson in it. Great sone though! Thanks for sharing.

[kentf92]

Jack plays the background guitar, you can hear it if you listen. Yah its a great song though

[kavols]

Jack is not playing guitar, this is the album version.

[Tmonastra]

Thats a mandolin, played by Dave lindley I believe.

[Gitarenrick]

[WickEdJellyFisH]

[yolemafreux]

[whenimsurfing]
