First Time Hearing | Ben Howard - Oats In The Water | Reaction 

Suprised there not too many mentions for "end of the affair" on jools holland. Unbeleivable live performance

My favorite reactor and my favorite musician, match made in heaven. Hope you'll go on this journey, Ben Howard is absolutely amazing!

"A joke in the way we rust, and breath again" is genius. Our blood has iron and salt, the act of breathing ages and kills us. We are rusting with all the breaths we take.

Ben is beautifully deep. He's had a rough few years with his health but he's looking good now. X

There’s another live version of this and he’s much more aggressive and animated in his performance. I think he might be one of the best artists ever

Ben Howard is such an unique vibe…one of my absolute favorite artists…his music commands you to listen…every time I hear a song of his playing somewhere it stops me in my tracks…to me his music is beautifully painful even though it’s not coming from a dark place…if that makes any sense? 😂

Thank you for reacting to one of my all time favourite songs! Ben Howard is so talented and I'm so happy to see more people coming across his artistry. Would love to see you react to more Ben Howard. Esmerellda and Black flies are some other songs of his I would recommend.

Black flies is great, too!

So happy that you discovered him. He’s a genius. As already suggested, End of The Affair should be your next one 🎶

I LOVE THIS SONG Reminds me of my childhood 😂 when I first heard this on The Walking Dead, I immediately feel in love

ive loved this song for probably a decade now and i never understood coke in the midas' touch. your quick and incisive reaction is an immediate sub. appreciate your work

Love how much you get this. End Of The Affair next please.

It has been a while since I listened to this song. Thank you for bringing it back to me 🙏✌️

Ben Howards new album has been on repeat for me. Its really not my kind of music, but I love everything this man does.

Love Ben and his band. We need more reactions to them.

He does a kick ass cover of call me maybe actually

I just went to the Apple Music and downloaded this. Fabulous song.

i would definitely focus on Ben Howard's approach to expression as a gesture. He doesn't like looking for "bespoke meaning" in his songs. He truly points his "meaning" as gesture. There's a couple interviews where he examines this more clearly

I had the honor of seeing him in concert In Chicago. The best performance I've seen live.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a second here. I came here because Ben Howard is one of my favorite musicians, particularly writers in music. I couldn't wait to see how impressed the reviewer was of him However I left being JUST as impressed by the reviewer as I was of Ben. Full of knowledge and extremely articulate and charismatic. Great explanations of everything. The first time I can ever recall being impressed by a reviewer and feeling like I was in safe hands with their opinions. Great job, Mr. Boyd!

love this one PS: Ben Howard is a must in any playlist

Man, one of my all time favourite songs. Esmeralda is also an incredible song.

One of my all time favourite song writers

Beyond Beautiful ❤️‍🔥

You should react to Ben Howard "Promise" and "The Wolves". He's been my favourite musician over the last 12 years since I heard him on BBC radio 1 live lounge. He's also done a really nice cover of "figure 8" from his BBC live lounge a while back

He has great song after great song!! Def a good rabbit hole to go down!

my god, the fact that you can dechiper his often very deep lyrics seems to be exactly what Ben has wanted for his music - understanding and his personal drive

Burgh island

I think . If I’m correct in saying. At the time of this song and album. He was having difficulty’s with relationships and also the fame from the previous album. This album was a reflection on his mental state. But wow what an artist we love Ben Howard

Thank you for teaching me in your reaction- ❤new follower here, I appreciate your intelligence!❤

Bro this brings back so many walking 🧟 memories 🥲 can't wait for the Daryl spin off

oh my you are like the rain man of reactors. Amazing you have a new sub sir

Thank you so much for reacting to Ben! Please give 'end of the affair' at Jools Holland a try. It's my favorite video on RU-vid. Love you and your reactions, wish you the best.

This is such a deep meaningful song about life and loss! Its in one of my favorite scenes from walking dead with Hershel and so appropriate. You have to see it.

Ben howard- oats in the water old pine , burogh island , black flies , conrad ,promise these are some of his best songs in my opinion

Coke in the Midas touch is a way of saying a lie in the truth, or an impurity of something real. Beautiful lyric.

So glad to see you react to this!

love this song. love watching someone discover it.

Ben Howard is special. Go Cornwall!

Big fan of Ben Howard songs, think mixture of emotions involved to do with conciquences also obviously relationships, amazing..

Doing what you have to do no matter how hard, or how much it drains your soul.

i m returning to this song,often, to feel like i m back home agsin, to my kind of people. and i m fucking happy there re still my people in this fucked world. comforting little hope to just keep being, to just keep breathing, making rust.

I LOVE THAT YOU REACTED TO BEN HOWARD!!!!! Ahhhhh

It makes me cry. I made a video for veterans using this song

I cried when hershal cried and this song was playing. It just reminds me of that sad moment. And the song went so well ngl, RIP Scott Wilson 🙏🏼.

Britain's greatest current musician 👌

You should listen to 'far out' by Ben. Abit of disecting to do in that song. Great job with Oaks such a tune! Ben is the best In the business at what he does

Love your thoughts on this, considered and reflective. Thank you.

Love Ben Howard ❤🌊

This song was featured on The Walking Dead in season 4.

Great knowledge

Goosebumps for DAYSSSSSS

I think "A joke in the way that we rust...and breathe again" refers to how we take damage from the "rusting" of oxidative stress that we get from oxygen. The irony of needing the oxygen that slowly kills us.

More Ben Howard reaction videos please.

I honestly don’t think I’ve seen you purely enjoy a song so much !

Check out murmurations. Quite an unusual song with an awesome transition as well. Doubt there’s a good quality video of it though

Depth over distance.....Live version

Your knowledge is incredible, easily top 5 reactors !

I honestly came across this from The Walking Dead, but it’s such a great song! Please check out “Civilian” by Wye Oak. You’ll enjoy it thoroughly 👍👍

That outro never fails to hit right.

I interpret the second verse as him rejecting fame. Meidas touch is his game, joke in the rust is him realizing he doesn’t like it over time, and he breathes as he escapes it

If there is coke in midas touch it isn't gold. An illusion made of cheap iron. The joke in the way that we rust. Is referring to the cruel sense of time passing. Also iron in our blood ages us. And breathe again. Go again. After what you had rusts away.

End of the affair Is one of the greatest songs of all time imo

Please react to Far Out - Live by Ben my favourite song !

My take is That Hes strong enough to go though the trash to keep her up on her ego....

WALKING DEAD FANS STAND UP!

Such an amazing tune.. Walking dead brought me to it

Man, this is way away from this type of music (kinda, I been listening to been Howard since Hershel was crying in a scene on the walking dead while this song played) but Anthrax- Blood Eagle Wings+ or- the video is worth a look. It came out, literally, the day I decided to sober up and focus on the things I'm capable of rather than focus on the things I let hold me back. Great channel by the way, I love the intelligence and understanding you apply to every genre you encounter.

He hadn't finished it by the time of his death in 1400 exactly. Carpenter's tale is super funny, but Miller's Tale is just hilarious.

Ay, hershels theme. RIP

TWD in the jail, le désespoir

I thought it meant everything he touched turned to cocaine. I didn't understand a word you said in that salad

Ben arranges songs like no other, for me better rhan anyone in the business.

This wasn't his best version. The official video song is way better. Why would you pick this one?
