Growing up in a society today, where it becomes frequently harder to find uniqueness in anything within a continuously experienced ‘been there, seen that' culture, there are moments in life when you stumble upon something truly magical that represents the ability and power to connect with something.
What i personally
love about Ben Howard; particularly in his song 'gracious' is his ability to
metaphorically capture the beauty in stillness and isolation filling it with
melodic echoes of his pure and individual voice. When i listen to Ben Howard, I’m
brought back to memories of a child staring out the car window in the darkened
light watching the desolated English country side flicker before my eyes
embracing the sheer beauty of untouched nature and solitude, which for me is
exactly what Ben Howard's voice and melodies convey; and coincidentally as
frequently stated in his online biographies; 'making melodic rusty folk music,
with progressively darker lyrics'.
