So many tracks have helped me through so much pain and loss over the years .. this song has touched me as an inspiration to myself to believe in my happiness and push through the loss and guilt.. thank you.
How does this guy not have more hits .. it just amazed at how much shit that they play on radio that sucks and this man is to me one of the best singer an song writer of my generation ... Keep it real Ben..
🎶🎶Time it opens all wounds And trust gonna put me in the tomb The world isn't mine The world isn't mine to save I can't afford to lose What you easily throw away And I don't even know myself, What it would take to know myself I need to change, I don't know how Don't give up on me now It's not what we do, it's what we do with what we feel Takes all you have to stare it down, and whisper "Devil, no deal." And I don't wanna fight, don't wanna fight my father's war You can wait your whole life Not knowing what you're waiting for And I don't even know myself, What it would take to know myself I need to change, I don't know how Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now And I don't even know myself, What it would take to know myself I need to change, I don't know how And I don't even know myself, What it would take to know myself I need to change, I don't know how Don't give up on me now🎶🎶
Ben speaks of real emotion, and you can feel it in his words. We have suffered many hard times and are going to suffer more, Ben knows how to correlate those feelings into meaningful words; true talent.
Sincerely, what a discovery I´ve made with this man............. All Harper´s songs are terrify awesome, directly to the hidest places of my lonely soul. Great great Ben, you, and people like U, make I still belive in m u s i c. (and sorry for my English)
Wishing to see you soon as soon as covid is over, somewhere in Arrifana in south Portugal surfing waves in your spot. Soon. Greetings from the Algarve. Keep safe. Lots of love from those around here. You'll be always in our hearts. 🥰
@FacelessImagery - just want to say- in this, you are not alone... I agree wholeheartedly with this- and always have- he has and always will be my light in the darkest hour... and for that he is a true artist. His conviction and raw emotion EVERY SINGLE TIME I see him live shakes me to the core of my being.... I see this and witness it, and things become bearable once more. Words can't express my gratitude to him for the many amazing years of music- esp this song-
@FacelessImagery I feel the same way, ALL OF HIS SONGS!!.. He wrote the 1st song ta' make me tear up... Walk Away ... That was my doorway into a bittersweet lifetime of exploring all types of genres...
Welcome to the Cruel World, Hang in there, cuz "There's only one road to freedom" and it may be found in "The Power of the Gospel..." Call out and ask the GREAT SPIRIT for help and we shall always receive it... Give a man a home... Calvin peace
