Ben Howard - Oats in the Water 

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Ben Howard gets mad if you compare him to Ed Sheeran.

2024 and I still come back to this beautiful work of art

The walking dead might not have been the same without this song

I had no idea how talented Ben Howard is. To finger pick that guitar riff, and sing at the same time, you need some serious skillz. Fucking impressive.

Oh my god, I just can’t believe how outstanding this version is. That scream really hits hard. Just how I want to scream my heart out. I can feel his emotions. My husband passed away, went estranged for almost 3 years. and there are a lot of things that I should’ve asked and told him when I had the time. This broke me even more. I will never be the same again. I love him so much but it’s too late.

My chills have chills....

I could listen to this song on endless repeat and never tire of it.

And to think, at this writing, that he is not yet 30. I love finding genius among these younguns. Gives me great hope for the future.

This tune is dope dope dope. Could listen forever. How do people create s##t like this.

If Johnny Cash and The Doors had a kid and than the kid gets raised by Nirvana.

My heart brought me here

I love his voice!! Gives me chills! I saw him in concert a few years back, and was just captivated! So hypnotic!

Marvelous. Pure soundgasm.

His guitar sounds amazing

Rick And Herschel of The Walking Dead introduced me to this man pure genius..

How have I been following this guy religiously for 8 years and only just found this performance, damn this is good.

every other month i come here and cry my eyes out

Can't believe nobody's mentioned that scream at 4:46.. best bit!

The Walking Dead brought me here!

Bin sprachlos..!! Hab eben die 4te Staffel von The walking Dead rein geschmissen, das Lied gehört und musste sofort googeln!! Unglaublich diese Stimme, das Gefühl, der Rhythmus. Respekt Ben Howard!! Erinnert mich an Curt Cobain und seinem gefuhlsaussagenden Gesang. Sowas entsteht nicht für profit oder fame. Das ist wahre Kunst. Respekt!!!! I love this song!!!!!

RU-vid… how dare you put an advert half way through this masterpiece!?!?!!!!

Every time I went to see Ben Howard live I was distracted by India Bourne, hormones suck !

One thing to leave with a standing ovation, another level to leave the audience stunned.

biggest chills during the whole of that!! truly incredible!!

Ben howard May be the best guitarist in the world one one day.

Ben Howard is an incredible artist, finger picking and singing….translates to Lindsey Buckingham level talent!

This is the definitive version of the song; one of the all-time greatest live performances of an artists’ own song recontextualized and given new life and energy by the masterful ending improvisation. Bravo to the entire band, exceptional performance!

The riff and opening lyrics engulf me and move me. The Walking Dead was the de facto music video for this beautiful song. I don't remember the particular scenes of the Walking Dead or much of that show now, but this song still pours a mood in me.

Twd was the best tv show when that music was played

this song brought me deep into the walking dead and helped me find my new music to listen to. great artist Ben Howard!

There'll be oats in the water There'll be birds on the ground There'll be things you never asked her Oh how they tear at you now Go your way I'll take the long way 'round I'll find my own way down As I should And hold your gaze There's coke in the Midas touch A joke in the way that we rust And breathe again And you'll find loss And you'll fear what you found When weather comes Tearing down There'll be oats in the water There'll be birds on the ground There'll be things you never asked her Oh how they tear at you now

The Witcher...

unbelievable performance

What the fuck YT. Why is there an ad break halfway through? Aren’t you making enough revenue that you need to spoil people’s watching and listening pleasure!

THE best version of this one. Brilliant. Saw him at Red Rocks w/ Daughter in '15. Didnt get this gem, but in no way was there any complaints at the end of the night.

This guy may officially the coolest guy in the world. Artist wise

The walking dead should of brought me here because I watch it, but The following actually brought me here, and the witcher made me realize this song can go well in any form of entertainment.

I travel with this sound, and when I land I feel like traveling again.🎧

This is super amazing, people dont know how to appreciate good music anymore...

There are no words, just large scale feels! Thanks Greenaway Pro!!

Love Ben's performance which is pretty astounding!!!! Can't wait to see him this September!

Ah, now I see what all the fuss is about! I have heard a few people extolling the virtues of Ben Howard, but the few clips that I have seen and heard haven't really moved me all that much. I do like this performance however, particularly his soulful guitar and voice. I must hear some more of his songs now-better late than never!

Absolutely Brilliant.

His voice is so awesome and what's even crazier is he sounds the absolute same as he does in the music video to sing and sound like that at a live concert is rarely achieved..way to go Band

Go your way I'll take the long way 'round Oh, I'll find my own way down Oh, As I should And hold your gaze There's coke in the Midas touch A joke in the way that we rust And breathe again And you'll find loss And you'll fear what you found When the weather comes, oh Tearing down There'll be oats in the water There'll be birds on the ground There'll be things you never asked her Oh, how they tear at you now Go your way Oh, I'll take the long way 'round Oh, I'll find my own way down Oh, as I should And hold your gaze There's coke in the Midas touch A joke in the way that we rust And breathe again And you'll find loss And you'll fear what you found When the weather comes, oh Tearing down There'll be oats in the water There'll be birds on the ground There'll be things you never asked her Oh, how they tear at you now

OMG!!!! That performance, BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER! It reminded me of concerts in the 70's Thank you🎉

I had a job in Czech Republic. Was driving every Monday 5 hours from Vienna in snow from 3 o clock on in heavy snow, Was at this time my favorite. Gave me power.

This is beautiful. Everything 'old' seems new again.

the following brought me here :)

This song lives rent-free in my head since 2013 and this is never getting old pure musical porn

I miss TWD. Especially Rick😭

his guitar work on this song, reminds me of David Gilmore's sound.

Twd season 4, episode 5 brought me here. Thanks Herschel.

Never became infatuated with the zombie movies, nor Ed Sheeran whose few popular songs I've heard, sound too bleached out for radio play for my personal liking and cringe when reading comparisons but I'm feeling Ben Howards song.

The walking dead brought me here just imagine if it wasn’t for the show I would have never discovered this amazing masterpiece song this song gives me chills it makes me feel dark in a good way

Walking dead brought me here November 2019..... how is this Ben Howard fella not a international superstar yet?

Damn... he can jam....

There'll be things you never asked her...💔

There's just something about this song. And this version in particular.

man... i would love to have a band like this with me doing metal vocals... the emotion of the music with the emotion of my vocals... thats goals...

How am I so late to the party.

Laughing at the thought of the one really frustrated person in the audience who just bought tickets to hear Keep Your Head Up

I'am kind of obsessed to John Martyn's music these days. I cant get enough listening to him. While reading comments on John's videos. I knew about this man. Actually i couldn't sleep and thought to watch and hear John's live videos and ended up discovering this man. I'am glad i found him. I listen hardcore punk, metal, grunge, hard rock and fusion jazz mostly. But i do appreciate and admire the beautiful creative works and always try to explore something new and different. These days i'am captivated by John Martyn's music. Hence i have been trying to find more artists and bands who are influenced by John's music and style. People like this man restore my faith in humanity always.

He is amazing!!!

The ending is sick

If Rodger Waters had a son....

the walking dead 💀

Only one i can compare is Damien Rice...but with a somewhat softer sound.

I remember another commenter said about his line “There’s coke in the Midas touch”, which is “coke” is referring to impurities that happen when they strike gold or melt it. It’s really genius

My destiny brought me here

This song makes me remeber to much. I have gone through so much sickness in my body and saddness in my mind. And when I hear this song, I am swung into anger, but its the anger where I want to find truth. Life will not become my tombstone. For life can clinch like fists, because those fists fight for life every second. And that is called a fighting heart.

my profile pic bought me here (go your way I'll take the long way road* I'll be on my own as I should)

Every time I hear this song I think of my first love, who I had so much left unsaid with who died too early. And it breaks my heart every time.

The tone on his strat is like gold. Every time I watch this performance I cry. He is such a gift.

I'm probably gonna murder the terms but the hammer on or riff or chord, whatever it's called, it's probably just a normal chord but those high notes at :47 and :50, and later on many times, i just love the sound of that. It gives the whole song emotion and depth

How am I only just discovering this?!

Ben with a little smoke break at 6:40

bassist is rockin

HERSHEL

As awesome today as it was back then.

bennnnnnn yesssss, so much yesssss

I really expect to see big concert from Ben howard in near future! Where he could really give that kind of performance for each song he wrote, he really deserve to have his own full length show!

Still here to listen to that outro man wtf it's so great

Listening to this song while playing red dead redemption 2... Beautiful combination

Heard this song 10 years ago and it haunts me still. My 10 year old said it was too powerful to listen to because it’s so creepy. It hits you. The emotional feel it.

Hes a thankful sort of secret.....without the all the Coldplay/kings of leon crap...

I love this song, un pure prodige!❤

This is just amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩

That guitar sound ... jesus.. I can't place his accent. I know its UK. And the bass player is great too.

Thank u Pratt, I cant stand it! everyone with a phone superglude 2 there face......

You know when you listen to a song so much you can close your eyes and be transported in memory - it’s this song, I’ll always remember moving into our new home and all the memories

its like mogwai finally have lyrics in their song.

How does the crowd just stand their and do nothing, espicially at the jam at the end

Лучшая песня! На будильник идеально! Несколько лет под нее просыпаюсь, спасибо

Nossa!Pensei que fosse um cantor mais velho.Que musica linda!Que voz linda!!

The timing is so weird in this song. Brilliant, hard to keep track of.

God what a beautiful sound , voice, heart.♥️ ❤❤

better then sheeran

Everytime i hear this tune i think of a green eyed girl, its like it was writen for Ciri, amazing song and great live performance

🖤🎶🎸 love this man
