I feel like he's been performing the song slower and slower as time goes on (if you were to compare this to the album version, or to a live performance from 8 months ago where he also slows it down). I think the manipulation/flexibility of the tempo demonstrates what the song says conceptually. I've always loved this song, but I appreciate the way different versions speak to me about my experience/perception of time during the depressive episode I'm going through. It's as if the song changes with me.
Are you f*cking kidding me? Playing with his hand upside down now? While casually chewing gum and dishing out flawless vocals? Just when we thought Ben couldn't get any more amazing.
Oh, hey I wasn't listening I was watching Syria blinded by the sunshine strip And you, you were in the kitchen Oh, your mariner's mouth The wounded with the wounder's whip And that's how summer passed oh The great dividing range of green, green grass Oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew Hello love, my invincible friend Hello love, the thistle and the burr Hello love, for you I have so many words But I, I forget where we were Oh, hey I wasn't listening I was stung by all of us The blind leading out the bored And as per usual You were skipping and laughing eyes at the bedroom door "Don't take it so seriously, no Only time is ours, the rest we'll just wait and see!" Maybe you're right, babe, maybe Oh, no, and that's how summer passed Oh the great dividing range, the green green grass And, oh, maybe I hold on fast to you Hello love, my invincible friend Hello love, the thistle and the burr Hello love, for you I have so many words But I, I forget where we were I, I forget where we were I forget where we were I forget where we were Oh, no, and that's how summer passed Oh, your, great dividing range, the green green grass Oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew
Can't wait to see the next new album. Every kingdom and then I forget where we were were an completely evolution of the mentality about music: new sounds, atmosphere. I'm curious to see next album !

@@James-616 not really. People like niki Minaj and autotune sh** get all the attention when this dudes is out here making multiple masterpieces. Guitar genius and singing flawlessly with gum in his mouth. Whtas happened to the world
@@kyerogers7838 You’re moaning about Pop singers and saying “what has happened to the world” If that’s not shoving it in people’s faces I don’t know what is lol And he really isn’t underrated
I lived to tell. Winter show in Italy 🇮🇹 and an acoustic version of this song. I just wanna go back and share your smile, my beloved aunt Ana. From summertime in Brasil 🇧🇷 2023. And I still have SO MANY WORDS aunt.
jeppep95 the slides on the a and e string on the main riff are very difficult to preform holding the neck normally as you can’t help but mute the open strings because of position you’re fingers and hand are in... so I believe to achieve the best possible sound he plays it this way. Very cool technique to be honest!
He actually said when he performed this song either on the late late show or some other American talk show, his hands/fingers are too small to play the notes correctly, so he had to play it over the neck as opposed to under it.
