this is the best version of keep your head up and i'm confident in saying I've seen virtually every one of youtube, Hell.. Every one of these songs are some of his best performances to date, truly brilliant.
there are only few artists these days where they actually enjoy playing for their audiences with whole of their heart. Ben is one of them, one genuine artist.
He's come out just a few years past, and I've truly never heard a voice this powerful since I first heard Thom Yorke or Jonsi. Absolutely awe-inspiring.
I spent my time watchin' the spaces that had grown between us. And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greenness. And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in, And I try my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim. Now walkin' back down this mountain With the strength of a turnin' tide Oh the wind's so soft on my skin, The sun so hot upon my side. Oh lookin' out at this happiness, I search for between the sheets. Oh feelin' blind to realize, All I was searchin' for was me. All I was searchin' for was me. Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No, no, no, no. Keep your mind set, keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin' Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No no no no, Keep your mind set in your ways, Keep your heart strong. And I saw a friend of mine the other day, And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'. Oh I said I'd been away, and he knew, Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'. And it felt so good to see his face, All the comfort invested in my soul. Oh to feel the warmth of his smile, When he said, "I'm happy to have you home." I'm happy to have you home. Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No, no, no, no. Keep your mind set, keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin', Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No no no no, Keep your mind set in your ways, Oh, keep your heart strong. 'Cause I'll always remember you the same. Oh eyes like wild flowers oh with your demons of change. May you find happiness there, May all your hopes all turn out right. Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. Oh, no, no, no, no. Keep your mind set, keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin', Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No no no no, Keep your mind set in your ways, Keep your heart strong. 'Cause I'll always remember you the same. Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.
It's so cool to hear this early version of Keep Your Head Up. I like the EK version more for sure, but its basically like finding a new song of his. Love it.
All I am is the bones you made for me So garishly clean White as the horses, that carry me away And all my demons, you said, come and go with a haze I might as well took a plane I grow old in my way Oh, just like you do Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom Oh, there ain't no darkness that I fear Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more, no So be clear, just to be clear So be clear, be clear All I am is the bones you made for me Just driftwood for the sea Oh, heavy as the horses, that carry me away That carry me away Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom No, there ain't no darkness that I fear Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more, no So be clear, be clear Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom (oh, oh, oh) No darkness that I fear (oh, oh, oh) No way to say I love you more, woman So be clear, just to be clear So be clear, be clear Oh, there ain't no diamonds in the boredom No, there ain't no darkness that I fear Oh, there ain't no way to say I love you more So be clear, be clear
No. Both have the capo on the 3rd, but the 5th sting are tuned in F, and the 6th string are tuned in A#. Or vice-versa... Sorry for the bad english! :)
i wonder why they threw the extra verse of keep your head up out! and the audience, well, ben howard wasn't that known or popular back then but they could've cheered a weee bit more for so much awesomeness!!
The audience mainly consists out of radio dj,s festival and clubs promoters and producers etc. Dont blaim themfor listening and enjoying in stead of screaming
Does the piece of black tape serve a function? Diamonds didn't sound anything like the record and in my opinion that's a good thing. Something about the cello sounded very off and kind of ruined the song. The mix seems a bit off as well, India's voice almost overpowers Ben's in some parts. I realize I'm being a jerk by saying all this, still a very good performance overall, The Wolves is steadily becoming my favorite live song of his, even more so then Only Love and The Fear.
