Ben Howard - Promise

Lyrics:
And meet me there, with bundles of flowers
We'll wade through the hours of cold winter
She'll howl at the walls
Tearing down doors of time
Shelter as we go

And promise me this
You'll wait for me only
Scared of the lonely arms
That surface, far below these birds
Maybe, just maybe i'll come home

Who am i, darling to you?
Who am i
To tell you stories of mine?
Who am i?

Who am i, darling for you?
Who am i
To be your burden in time? Lonely
Who am i, to you?

Who am i, darling for you?
Who am i?
To be your burden
Who am i, darling to you?
Who am i?

I come alone here
I come alone here

I used to listen to Ben Howard with my mom. when I was 16 she passed away. It was exactly one year ago around midnight...just like now. Dad drove me and my brother from school. He told us a blood vessel in her brain cracked so we only had few hours to say goodbye. We painted a picture of the sky for her, then drove to the hospital. She was in coma. I held her hand for the last time. Couldn't believe it was really happening and I didn't accept it till now. We were listening to music in the car on the way there and back which is around five hours in total, but the only song I remember is this. It was her favourite one. I didn't listen to it since then. And now after one year and at the same time... it appeared in my recommended out of nowhere

Am i the only one who thinks this Kind of music is not sad? In my opinion this Kind of music is so magical. I could listen to this all night especially in the fall time. It's just beautiful.

[usamamoazam]

It is one of those few songs you just want to keep it a secret, and wait for someone really special who you can share it with.

[peeyushsharma]

Isn't it ironic how sometimes sadness can make you feel happy?

[shivamsingla]

Sometimes being sad is more comforting than being happy:(

[mesunekonyan]

WHY IS IT HARD TO FIND SOMEONE NEAR YOU WHO HAS THE SAME TASTE IN MUSIC? So you can freely talk about stuff like this.

[intellect]

I'm leaving this message just for this sake that after 10 years if someone likes it, I'll be reminded to listen to this pure gem❤️

[urs]

Laying in bed, window open, the cold breeze on my skin and the glow of full moon on my face, thinking of nothing, just listening...

[MimMdance]

Everyone seems so deep in the YouTube comments sections of songs like these. I love reading it. Wish we could be like this in real life. Peace and love to all.

[momento]

Imagine listening to this with a cup of coffee while it's raining outside. I want winter back.

[hermosaanggun]

it hurts so bad when you’re the one who always thinking about someone while they don’t.

[italiana]

One of my favourite parts about loving songs like this is that the people in the comments are so real and expressive in their feelings and life. Deep people with real feelings

[foxdaughter]

It makes me miss something I never had -- someone I've never met. Some place I've never been to but I know that once I find it I'll find peace in my heart.

[originaljeje]

What I think is magical is the fact that most of us in these comments deal with depression and feel alone in some type of way and we feel like we have no one to talk to but then songs like this bring us together. We know that there are other people out in the world that feel the same way as we do but we make no effort to try and find the people who feel the same way as we do but then some how we find ourselves in these comments finding and meeting people who feel the same way as you do and I feel like that is so magical.

10 years ago, episode of House MD brought me here. Ben's music enriched my soul.

[gulnurkurmanay]

I've lost a child. This song helps me to recover. Thank you.

[philkeoghanfan]

Humans are such weird creatures, we bury our true emotions and ambitions when we need to open up to people, but the second a powerful and emotional melody hits our ears we decide that, yea, it is time to open up and let the world know my problems or my ambitions or maybe just how much love you have for someone.

[hannoswart]

"Sometimes I feel like I'm in love with someone I've never met before. It's like we have shared these thousands upon thousands of moments with each other and that we've walk this "journey" together.
Sometimes I even feel like I miss this unknown person."

If anyone ever asks me what music does for me...
That's what I'm gonna tell them.

[jackkeelan]

I feel that sad songs really help when we are at our lowest. A lot of people think they are 'depressing songs' but I find they really help us in times of need. 5 minutes ago I was having an anxiety attack and this song has brought me back to normality a small bit. Such a deep song. It's beautiful really. The comments here are so deep but I feel it's the right vibe for me.
