Ben Howard's album "Every Kingdom" has impacted my life more than any other album in history. Seriously. I don't know how to articulate in words how important each song on that album is to me and my family. We have often said if we could only listen to one album for the rest of our lives, it would be "Every Kingdom". I have written a novel within its chords, raised my children within its beat, taken it on countless drives up and down the Oregon Coast. For years, it has been the one album that has comforted and enlightened my mind. I think each song is genius, and unique, and soothing. I could never pick a favorite. I only wish Ben Howard knew how much his album has impacted me. It is so rare when music takes on more of a spiritual identity, rather than being something to pass the time. Thank you Ben for changing and enriching my life with your gift. Thank you for "Every Kingdom".

You know an artist is good when you prefer the live version over the studio version

I truly believe people that listen to music like this are meant to be together, separate from people that don't really hear it.

2025.. who's still listening to the almighty Ben Howard?

[StandardAutoGlass]

This is not music, this is emotional genius.

2024 checking in. Just found this song. Can’t believe I hadn’t heard it before. Stoked to find something like this .

[jessealtmanatl]

You can always come back to this version and it’s like hearing it for the first time. Dude is on another level.

[jakemorrison]

Anyone else feel such an ache in the heart as soon as you hear it?

[Bigpimpin]

Almost 10 years later and the song hits like no other it’s a masterpiece

[fritzgfeller]

Pay attention to all the musicians playing with him. They are exceptionally talented and dedicated and deserve some appreciation too. These tunes are high level!

[xigbar]

Can't believe how much better this live version sounds over the studio version.

[JohnBoondock]

Here in 2024. Just as I will be every year I have left on this crazy rock we call home.❤

[AGTsakumis]

This is utter and complete magic. So ethereal; so multi-layered and soulful. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the privilege to hear. Howard's music is a triumph of spirit and intelligence.

[Catcher]

I really cannot express how much I love this "radio" version of this song. Ben is totally number one, but what really rips me to pieces are India's vocals and percussions: she's so gentle and careful, never a fraction to invasive over Ben's music and her voice...well that's pure bliss! Really amazing, These  3  together are actually something quite extraordinary

Heared this song in 2014 for the first time. It was played in a german film. Fell in love with this song then. Still listening to it in 2024.

[Daceroth]

This is a song I will listen to my whole life.

My dear person Richard sent me this song once and since that time it is in my favourite list . There is often a distance between people but we can be close to each other in our hearts. Depth of the feelings is important. Thx, Richard and thx to Ben for this great melody 🎵

Ben Howard is one of the greatest song writers of the 21st century so far. No one has his lyricism, passion, and ability to make you feel something.
