The actual track from the original version of the Games In The Dark EP. It's amazing hearing this song without the additional noise from the version taken off of the surfing video.
Still surprised as how many hidden and beautiful songs Ben has. This brings me back to 2012 and I think it shows us how he has evolved as an artist. I love each of every song he does man. Appreciate it for uploading the song!!
Glad you are enjoying it! I felt the same way when I first heard this full version, it reminded me of first hearing Gracious back in the day for the first time
Lyrics: Ocean Song Been here staring, staring at the rain to long now Winter coal burning at my toes Seems like everything, everything I do is going wrong somehow Feeling blue everywhere that I go And I'm trying, trying yeah to remember her grace Trying, trying oh to recapture her words so pure All the lines on her face Honey what what the hell are we doing this for? What the hell are we doing this for at all? Found a letter under a stone Oh, told of giants, kings, oh palaces and gold, palaces and gold Somewhere, somewhere over the horizon I swear, I swear I'm going out there to find them To find them Oh I'm going to the ocean no, no ,no Answer some of these questions that have been dragging me down All this time Over mountains, mountains of black and white, white Til I know, know what I've found here Til I know, know what I've found here Darling won't you wait for me? Darling won't you be there standing there at the shore? Cause I'll be coming home, coming home soon Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you Been here trying, trying to clear my head Oh dreaming of words, words my father always said to me Said "dont, dont be afraid of the dark sometimes In your hours of hurt, son thats when you'll find How strong a heart can be How beautiful the summer breeze How carefree is a sea bird as it flies How much you really need" Oh I'm going to the ocean no, no ,no Answer some of these questions that have been dragging me down All this time Over mountains, mountains of black and white, white Til I know, know what I've found here Til I know, know what I've found here Oh darling won't you wait for me? Darling won't you be there standing there at the shore? Cause I'll be coming home, coming home soon Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you Coming home, I'll be coming home soon Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you
Please do upload the rest of version 1, all ben howard fans would appreciate it insanely. To hear your favorite artists unreleased/alternate songs means a lot to us.
Great upload. Pretty awesome to hear the ''new verses''! :) Ben's a major reason why I took up songwriting again (just as a hobby on my RU-vid channel) and it's just fantastic to come across stuff like this. Master, London, Are You Ready... literally the last three songs I was listening to prior to finding this video! :)
This whole EP has two alternate versions of Games In The Dark and Are You Ready. It also has two songs that have never been heard by ben fans called Jessica and Back To The River. If you upload those that would be incredible
Hah, I wish man. If I had those I would gladly share for all. The person that has them, and his idea of not uploading somehow appeasing Ben is nonsense, I would love to hear them.
