    26/02/2012

  • Bravo ben harper, t'es trop formidable, on t'aime, je t'aime tellement

  • I'm not too sure if it's cold in my room or if it's Ben Harper who really got to me, but I just got shivers.

    This song is so good.

  • I've loved this song every since I heard it when I was in year 7. But listening to it now, I don't think I've ever related to a song as much as this one. It brings me to tears every time.

  • this song and "hurt" by Johnny Cash just brought me to tears. first time i have cried for a while but it probably doesn't help im going through a difficult stage.

  • woooow

  • nice song well seasoned with words

  • When i finish (mydoomedrelationshipsfromtheb­egining) I hear this song in my head

  • im not getting tired of this song

  • Songs...become soo good when they put into words what you've been through...makes you feel like people have been there and all will be well

  • I like simple songs with beautiful words

  • "yesterday seems like a life ago cause the one i love today i hardly know" <3

  • i love his voice, like a whisper

  • the official 'single' anthem. 

  • manages to make me cry every time!

  • love this, very soothing

  • Came across this song by accident. BEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! <3

  • faaa gotta love this song , its soo adictive.

  • The replay button has been raped by me....

  • ADORO!!!!

  • sweet music

  • One of the few songs that can still give me goosebumps.

  • its my fav song , this is my cover watch?v=CZxbj8IOZeI i hope you like it

  • Ben harper isnt generally my favourite artist. But i do love him. His music connects with me in a certain way i cant describe, sometimes being a teenager can be a lonley thing, but with ben i feel that little bit more at ease.

  • This came up when I searched Yu-Gi-Oh abridged...

  • i want this song to play at my wedding :)

  • It's either love or hate, I can't find in between, cause I have been with witches and I have, been with a queen

  • this song can bring you through all situations. Doesen´t matter if you´re sad or happy. I love to listen to it when I´m laying in the sun. But I like to listen to this song, even if I´m very very sad!

    :)

  • i listen to him since I'm 16 and went to one of his concert, it was quite empty at that time but it didn't last longtime... a year later it was tuff to find the tickets... and i still love his music...

  • I am 52 and I love this music

  • I am 52 and I love his music..*_*

  • @MrKoenPieter okay now shut the fuck up

  • First song I learned to play on guitar.

  • harper = leg, ben - end BEN HARPER = LEGEND ;)

  • il est en train de mourir, le gars ?

  • i am 16 and i love his music .. *_*

  • nice voice

  • ben the best!

  • Ben Harper is a lyrical genius. This song... Although simple, so beautiful. And yes, on a personal note... It really hits home.

  • i love ben harper

  • Beautiful. No other words to describe it

  • Disable comments please. Everybody leaks their sob story, and hardly mention the song.

  • i usually listen to death metal! but i heard this on the radio and loved it!

  • @4sum1els

    I can understand you cause I used to listen T.N.B.M but some nights,before I sleep,I undressed my angry personality with my clothes and relax for this song.

  • @4sum1els Ben Harper's music is not played on the radio.

  • 11 people don't even respect themselves......

  • :') this song really gets right through me. wonderful lyrics,a description of what I am going through right now

  • this song is so beautiful... lyrics divine

  • Just found Ben tonite, lovin' his stuff.. (this in particular is hitting what I've been feeling recently)

  • This song.. just.. Brings me to tears.

  • @SUPERBUBBLEGUM13 Me too, i just cry when i'm listenning this song !!!

  • (L)

  • Not famous? He's a two-time Grammy Award winner I'd say thats fairly famous. Any Ben is awesome.

  • I can sleep in peace now.... his songs make me feel so good

  • LOVE THIS GUY!!! WHY IS HE NOT MORE FAMOUS!!!!?

  • @otherirockthebach because I think that the more talent you have, the less likely you are to be famous, for example I ve seen some people on youtube that have beutiful voices and will never be famous but people like justin bieber are thats the only thing i could come up with lol

  • @otherirockthebach

    People who are famous generally are famous for doing outrageous things.

    Tom Hanks is an excellent actor, but does he get as much attention as Lindsey Lohan? No, he doesn't, because he's much reserved and isn't a drug addict.

    Most of the time if people are famous, they bring it upon themselves by being loud people. Maybe Ben Harper doesn't want to be that famous.

  • Wow. Those words are like my life

  • I love Ben Harper. It's such a shame that he discovered Jack Johnson and it feels like more people know Johnson better than Harper. He's an amazing musician.

  • love it<3 

  • he is freaki' awesome, i a so hopeful way

  • It wouldn't have worked out anyway, slut

  • Could anyone tell me the remedy for the words that are told in this song? I really need it..

  • @lukaj1n drugs

  • @LostandRecovered I cant!!! If i take them I cant sell them ;)

  • saw ben harper at the folk fest one of the best musicians of all time this is my favourite songs

  • I'm going through a divorce and this song is exactly the way things are going. I listen to it whenever I am feeling weak

  • Novel 'I am Charlotte Simmons, leaf 736. Ben Harper !

  • I found this guy on Pandora while listening to Bob Dylan (one of the greatest musicians ever to walk the earth.)

  • @Wrathchild12547 I found this guy on Pandora while listening to Bob Schnieder. I've actually heard this guys name before, but never appealed to the taste till now. I regret it, he's great! Quickly one of my favorites.

  • @fischerrox I heard him on pandora while on my Jeff Buckley station :)

  • Definitely rings true. All too true.

  • deep in my soul

  • i think 7 ppl r deaf

  • I wish everyone could focus on this brilliant artist, instead of bashing other artists. We all have our own tastes in music and we should be able to respect that.

  • this is a song that will always remind me of my father....

  • loop ...

  • I shudder at any comparison between Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, even if Harper influenced Johnson. Ben Harper's music is infinitely more interesting.

  • hes got soo much passion into his work

    thats real music

  • Beautiful song!! if you like ben harper/ jack johnson kind of music you may like our songs too. Please comment. Peace

  • ofcourse he reminds you of Jack Johnson.

    Jack Johnson is a kinda of protege of his. Ben Harper signed Jack Johnson on his (Ben's) record label, and they feature on some of eachothers work.

  • he reminds me alot of jack johnson

    quality music

  • very beautifully said, that 'It's a heavy load for a fool like I use to be, but Ben turns grief into pure beauty.'

    my memories from my melancholy monsoon afternoons at a very crucial juncture of life

  • i got it! :) acoustic chill

  • What genre is this music??

  • @AnonymousLanson genre = pure music

  • i agree, hes awesome, better than half the people out ther!

  • @cami8383 You're asking for relationship advice over Youtube. ? Really? Ask you friends or something,

  • Also, when he texts me i just break down and we seem to have these text battles, where i am angry, then sad then ok with his decision. He seems to show very little emotion, just logical. When will the pain end, rejection is the worst feeling. The demise of the relationship came when i was pushing him to take the relationship further, and he can't because of school and work, so i guess it's part my fault.

  • @cami8383 hahaham there is no such thing as "i cant because of skool work, ive used that smae excuse 100 times to break it off with a chick i dont wana be with, haha,..TAKE THE HINT!!!

  • Im going through a breakup, not by my choosing, and the only things that help are doing anything that takes my mind off of it. Working out, walking, sitting on the computer is the worst cause i can dwell on it. And he still texts me to see how im doing!!!! Thats not helping. Its only been two weeks and i have these crying fits that come and go...its really pathetic.

  • great if your feeling alone, which is how i feel on this stupid invention "valentines day"

    music like this helps me get over and face my sorrows

    well system of the down lonely day next..

  • Comment removed

  • I found myself tounge tied the other day, i knew what i wanted to say but couldn't get the words out... Then this song popped in my head, i smiled and resighted a few words! She got it! And this song gets me!

  • This song helps with missed opportunities kinda wish i made a move in the five months never know now shes over 5000 miles away, although it wouldn't have worked out I really wish I knew if I could of had her if only for a brief time.

  • ben harper makes me feel okay about feeling bad.

  • @billyjoetoe couldn't of said it better!

  • this is one of those songs you listen to when you feel like dieing.......very sad!!!!....full of pain...but its beautiful

  • i hear ya lonesome this song has really helped through my dicorce, the lyrics really seem to hit that nerve if u know what i mean

  • i hear ya lonesome this song has really helped through my dicorce, the lyrics really seem to hit that nerve if u know what i mean

  • 7 people should go fall down a well.

  • I am reading Tom Wolfe's book "I am Charlotte Simmons" and in it Charlotte is listening to this song in her room  and crying and crying...such a sad song..

  • I've heard this song so many times in the past, but I never truly experienced what he has to say until today. This is the only song in the world that makes my heart feel something other than pain right now.

  • Yes indeed.

    The way he whispers that... gets me every time.

  • Yesterday seems a life ago . . .

  • the only bad thing about this song i have to tune my guitar down a note to play it! :P

    one of my favourite of all time

  • if you thumbs up a good song, wen you listen to it the next day an thumbs up again does it add to the number??

  • 7 PEOPLE JUST HAD ANOTHER LONELY DAY, AND DENIED TO ADMIT IT.

  • i love this song.. i was going through a very rough break up and the worst thing was i was in hospital after getting brain surgery,, this song got me through the weeks of sitting in a hospital bed reminiscing...... thanks ben <3

  • i loooove this song!

    his voice caresses my soul and breathes like a shiver through my body. i'm infatuated with the little spaces between his words and that guitar makes me want to laugh and cry. do something amazing and just sit and soak it in. Ben is da bomb.

    peace

  • @LillePotter You hit the nail on the head. Ben is amazing. I have loved him since I was 15 years old. This was this first song that I ever heard.

  • @burtonboardr1123 His songs are of average length. No shorter or longer than most songs.

  • love this song... perfect

  • wish there was something

    I could say or do

  • .... this song is my life.

  • VISIT AND WATCH mesaboogie1231 CHANNEL!

  • his songs need to be longer.

  • can i just say that i have been looking for a song to speak about the situatuon im in and ben harper looks like he took these lyrics right from my heart

  • why is it that a great artist like ben harper isnt know and some fake artist like kenny chesney or someone like that is so popular???

  • @WIT81 Ben harper is extremely popular and very well known...

  • @pntbllfrk069 but hes not as known as others.. thats why hes never on the radio or tv and etc. im not saying no one knows about him im just saying he should be more known

  • @WIT81 u still dint get it huh? its the ILLUMINATI get it? ;)

  • @WIT81 Couldn't agree more.

  • Because nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the general public...

    Ben is as good as they get.

  • @WIT81 Ben Harper isn't know? C'mon! Don't be an asshole.

  • @guilhermeGeekk hes known? just because you and your friend know him doesnt mean hes well known.. i guess i was vague on saying hes isnt known.i meant not well known. 406,000 views per song vs 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 views per song such as lil wayne or justin bieber. whos more known?? exactly! dont be an asshole!

  • @WIT81 Views? So for you, an artist is know if he has a lot of views on youtube? Lol.

    Ask your parents if they know Elvis Presley. Then, ask then if they know Eminem or Tupac.

    You'll see some videos of Eminem and Tupac with more views than Elvis. But Elvies is way more know than Eminem and Tupac! Or just because the views on youtube i'm wrong and saying crap? No, i'm not ;)

    Don't forget that the most people that use Youtube don't even buy cds or dvds.

  • @guilhermeGeekk 1)) haha wow dont be a dumbass. youre getting cause and effect mixed up... every black person, white person, mexican person, etc, know about eminem and tupac and yes my parents know both. ben harper is known by VERY VERY few of those ppl. eminem has sold over 39 million albums in the US alone. he has only been active since 1995 and ben harper has been active since 1992. and i know ben harper has not sold that many copies. so therefore eminem is more known(cause) which generates

  • @WIT81 eminem has not done it alone...he has a team of writer, and a music person, i work in studios, and its all the same for every artist..NO artist does it on there own...

  • @SongOFfreedom453 yes eminem did have help to get to the top but actually eminem writes nearly all of his lyrics(this is stated in his book "The Way I Am"). and since he has his own production company he produces his own music... and idk if you listen to country. but almost all texas country artist write and produce their own music. so TYPICALLY the more mainstream (with exception to eminem) the more other ppl do for you, like write the lyrics, make the music, and etc.

  • @WIT81 yes, dont even get me started about these stupid fuckin mainstream idiots we hear on the radio tody, they give the "musicain" and studioist such as myself a horrible name..they are in no way musicains, but dont believe all you read in that book, hahaha, its says writen by marshall mathers, but there is ALOT more behind the way he is than that....and oyea..old skool country is all out by themselves..there pretty hard to beat..

  • @guilhermeGeekk 2)) more youtube views(effect).. you misunderstood me for having it the other way around!

  • @WIT81 because, these guys such as M.i, Ben harper, and Jack Johnson play for the simple love of music.

    Artists like Kenny Chesney, etc.. play for money...

  • @LusEndZ i think you and everyone else misunderstood me. it was a rhetorical question that i didnt intend on some one answering i was just making a point.

  • @WIT81 its good though cause if you think about it fame changes most people so he may be underground but at least he stays true to himself

  • @WIT81 Destiny!

  • @WIT81 isn't known?! he supported pearl jam on their aus tour last year...

  • @nickbalcombe99 and you point is?? felix zenger was the opening act for kanye west a couple of years ago and i bet you dont know who he is.

  • @WIT81 my point would be that a large amount of people know ben, that's all. besides who is kenny chesney??

  • @WIT81

    I don't see why it's necessary to bash on Kenny Chesney. He's actually a good artist, like Ben Harper! If you're going to bash on someone, bash on that Nicki Minaj character or Mr. Beiber.

  • @ghuntersrule22 what is wrong with niki?? you sit there try to preach to him but yet you are just the same. grow up and learn what is means to respect people. i'm sorry your stuck living like this but we can overcome the negative energy and come to the brighter side of things!!

  • @WIT81 wow you don't even understand what music is do you friend? open your mind and listen before you judge. if you and your kind of people changed then so would others and then we can all enjoy ben, kenny or bob. music is music so if you can't jam to it then leave me and my people!

  • @WIT81 who?

  • @WIT81 because this way he gets appreciated for what he is and what he does whereas if he was mainstream he would be a trend and people may not actually like so much as follow him cause its cool...its still a bit upsetting that you have so many corporate shills posing as musicians but theres nothing better than showing this to someone and hear them say "who is this?? this is really good!!"

  • @WIT81 Hey, no need to make a stab @ kenny chesney... Total different genre, total different crowds. I happen to be a fan of both actually. But idk just a little unnecessary. But I do agree, Ben Harper is a GREAT artist!! :)

  • @WIT81 I know ben harper and don't have a clue about kenny chesney

  • @WIT81 Also, other fake artists to name, Brittany Spears, Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber, don't forget that little shit.

  • @WIT81

    lol i can tell you're not a country music fan. the reason is because they are completely different genres...i wouldn't call kenny fake i'd majority of dumb pop stars

  • amazing

    the music is exactly what i've been through

    great musician and poet

  • I haven't listened to this song in a very long time, still brings a tear to my eye.

  • "Id rather fall myself, then let you drag me on down." This man gets it, he gets life, love, relationships he gets it all. I love him so much! My daughter is named Harper after him.

  • FOR THE LAST THREE HOURS IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THE SONG THAT EXPLAINS IT.... WOW I THINK I FOUND IT MEAGAN. I LOVE YOU.. IM SORRY I CANT DO IT ANYMORE, YOU WERE AMAZING IN EVERY WAY BUT WE BOTH KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT. THANKS BEN

  • This guy just made my eyes water, i havnt done that in years..

  • "I could resist anything but a temptation from you", well said

  • cant listen to this song when she is around. but when she isnt here/with me this is all i listen to.....

  • I come here everyday, listen to this piece of sonic peace and give mrkarma85 a thumb up, cause it seems as he's really seen through me...

    It's a heavy load for a fool like I use to be, but Ben turns grief into pure beauty.

  • @LonesomeWolfsChannel holy fuck i honestly do the exact same thing

  • man, every single word of this says a lot more than.....everything :)

  • @chukchug man that is so true, this is a great piece of music that will look at love a different way

  • it's comforting and yet really sad how i come back to this time and time again after losing someone. strangely beautiful how this song would never sound the same while on the "other side" of love.

  • mhmm explains words im feeling
