Only Love
Ben Howard Lyrics

@raveandsweets

exactly.Ben's songs are one of the best ones for gently crawling out of the dark.

@eduardocandeiasfaust

Most of them write music because they themselves want to escape from feelings of anxiety depression... You name it. Most of them write for themselves witch is not a bad things it just show that us humans are not so different and what one person uses to go through a bad time can be used by millions of others :)

@lilasilva5334

I just feel like this guy's lyrics and voice have saved many of us from suicide more than once. Peace to you brother, your art comes from your heart and I can't thank you enough for keeping me here on this beautiful planet.

I sing my girlfriend who suffers from a severe depression to sleep every night this song. I just side right beside our bed with my guitar and I play it while looking at her eyes. The first time I saw her eyes when singing this to her I knew she was the one I loved and she just slowly drifter away calmly, something that usually would only happen if she took sleeping pills I now help her calm down her little restless heart to sleep. Thank you Ben, you saved the love of my life and me with your beautiful songs. Love from Sweden ❤️

@Rose-my6dc

My dad had a large playlist full of hundreds of songs on a cd he’d move it around the house to play in the kitchen and then in the car. I remember hearing all the songs and playing it on long car rides in the summer when I went to visit my aunt and watching trees and the countryside go by, watching the sun set and listening to music sometimes singing along. After my mum, my dad didn’t play this playlist once, it’s been a long time but for the first time yesterday me and my dad were going to pick something up from a shop and this was the first song I heard playing, I checked to see if it was the radio but instead he was playing his cd.
I still remember every word, I love you dad

Luckily only for 6 months before I asked for help and got away.. I have been clean the last 3 weeks.. I know how hard it is to beat an addiction.. Especially one that's physical as well as mental..

@cal8098

Ben Howard songs feel so sad and so happy at the same time how can an artist do that is just awesome to me.

@Who_can_save_you_from_hell

In search of love and happyness, I had listen often to Ben and especially to this song in 2014. My crying God had heard and some month later I did find Jesus as the son of god, who gives love, which is not only more than a human person (woman) can ever give, but also a love, which everybody needs. It is not a turning around the own feelings and self-pity anymore. Jesus sets free from all dependencies and gives life, eternal life, when we believe in him.

"Give me shelter, or show me heart" God gives all in Jesus. Come to him.

I thank god for Ben.

In memory of my one and only love, I hope that you're happy.

@daylenswift

I remember going through a time of grief, and how this song just seemed to fill my spirit and give me a reason to dance, when there was none. I was driving around on a lonely night, chasing a red moon. I came to an open field, and then "Only Love" came on the radio. I threw the doors open to my car and began to dance under the ruby moon... "Darling you're with me, forever and always..." Forever and always. I love 1,222,222,222,000,000 + 0 = U!

To all the people who still claim this song is about Ben havin lost a lover to suicide at some point, Howard himself has disproved it. However, the beauty of music is that it does not always tell just the artist's story. This is a tragic story of loss experienced by many people.
