As a musician Henson usually sings and plays guitar. Henson suffers from serious stage fright and, as a result, he rarely plays concerts. His art show "Hithermost" took place at the Pertwee, Anderson & Gold gallery in London in January 2013 and "sold quickly". He has also released a wordless graphic novel called "Gloaming", published by Pocko, which is "essentially a field guide to a spirit world beyond our reality".
Keaton Henson was born in 1988 in London, England. He is the son of actor Nicky Henson and ballet dancer Marguerite Porter.
Originally Henson was an illustrator. He designed the artwork for various albums including Dananananaykroyd's Hey Everyone! and Enter Shikari's Take to the Skies. Henson recorded songs in his apartment in London, initially purely for his own consumption. He gave a recording of one of the songs as a gift for his best friend, and was encouraged to put music online. In November 2010 his debut album Dear was released on Motive Sounds Recordings, in a limited edition which he made by hand himself. In 2011 he released a single, "Metaphors", on Porchlight Records. He also recorded "Don't Be Afraid" for the Tormented soundtrack.
Henson's breakthrough came when Zane Lowe played "You Don't Know How Lucky You Are" on BBC Radio 1 for the first time on Wednesday 7 September 2011, saying: "That piece of music right there is one of the most special pieces of music I've heard in a very very long time". The play received a rapturous reaction from listeners.
Henson formed his own Oak Ten Records and officially re-released his debut album Dear in 2012. It went on to sell over 7,000 copies and gained a cult following. The album was well critically acclaimed: the BBC said "Keaton Henson isn't a show-off, but with talent like this, he has every right to be", and on Metacritic the album received a score of 70 out of 100. The album, which never charted, spawned three singles – "Charon", "Small Hands" and "You Don't Know How Lucky You Are" – all of which were accompanied by music videos. The video for "Charon" was shortlisted for a UK MVA award in Best Budget Indie/Rock Category. "Small Hands" won Best Music Video at Rushes Soho Shorts 2012.
Henson released The Lucky EP in July 2012.
Henson's music ("Charon", "Corpse Roads", "To Your Health", "10AM Gare du Nord", "You") has been featured in the BBC Three zombie drama In the Flesh.
In November 2012, Henson designed a t-shirt for the Yellow Bird Project to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
"Keaton Henson spends his time alone, writing songs and sometimes drawing, he doesn't like to talk about himself."

Keaton Henson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to tell me I have not been wrong
Is this all that you can give me back?
Come on, woman, you'll have to do less than that
And now I see that waking everyday
Always leads straight to feeling this way
And if you have no more to say than that
I'd give you all I have
If I could get it back
This has been the best of me
I hope you end up missing me
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
Is the water dragging at your feet
Urging you to slip down underneath
Are you gonna let me take your soul
My god, you lead me on, I'm gonna eat you whole
You son of a bitch,
Stop writing songs like this
You think you're better than them
But they don't have to pretend
I give you all I have
If I could get it back
This has been the best of me
I hope you end up missing me
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
The lyrics to Keaton Henson's song "Kronos" are complex and emotionally charged, dealing with themes of love, loss, longing, and frustration. The song is addressed to a woman the singer has been searching for all year, hoping to hear that he has not been wrong about his feelings for her. However, when he finally finds her, she has little to say to him, leaving him feeling disappointed and unsatisfied. He realizes that every day he wakes up feeling the same way, and that his love for her has become a burden rather than a source of joy. He is willing to give everything he has to make the relationship work, but it seems that she has no interest in reciprocating his feelings. In the end, he is left feeling angry and resentful, and decides to move on.
One of the most striking features of the song is its raw, confessional quality. The lyrics express the singer's deepest fears and desires, revealing his vulnerability and humanity in a way that is both moving and relatable. The song captures the universal experience of unrequited love, and the pain and confusion that comes with it. At the same time, it also expresses a sense of determination and resilience, as the singer vows to hold on to the memories of what he once had and move forward with his life.

I've been looking for you all year long
I have spent all year searching for you
Just to tell me I have not been wrong
I wanted to verify that my feelings were correct
Is this all that you can give me back?
I expected more from you
Come on, woman, you'll have to do less than that
The effort you put in is not enough
And now I see that waking every day
I have come to realize that each day leads me to
Always leads straight to feeling this way
the same feeling in my heart
And if you have no more to say than that
If you have nothing more to offer
Oh well, I'll be leaving and I won't come back
I'm done with this and leaving for good
I'd give you all I have
I would leave no stone unturned for you
If I could get it back
In exchange for your love
This has been the best of me
I have given my all in this relationship
I hope you end up missing me
I hope you realize and regret my absence
And I'll hold on to that
I'll cling to the hope that you'll miss me
Is the water dragging at your feet
Are you struggling to stay afloat?
Urging you to slip down underneath
Are you tempted to let go?
Are you gonna let me take your soul
Can I have your heart in return for mine?
My god, you lead me on, I'm gonna eat you whole
You teased me, and now I want nothing more than to possess you
You son of a bitch,
I can't believe you wrote a song like this
Stop writing songs like this
Please stop hurting me with your music
You think you're better than them
You believe your artistry is superior
But they don't have to pretend
But at least they don't have to hide their true feelings

I've been looking for you all year long
Just to tell me I have not been wrong
Is this all that you can give me back?
Come on, woman, you'll have to do worse than that
And now I see that waking everyday
Always leads straight to feeling this way
And if you've no more to say than that,
Oh well, I'll be leaving and I won't come back
I'd give you all I have
If I could get it back
This has been the best of me
I hope you end up missing me
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
Is the water dragging at your feet,
Urging you to slip down underneath?
Are you gonna let me take your soul?
My god, you lead me on, I'm gonna eat you whole
You son of a bitch,

You think you're better than them,
But they don't have to pretend
I'd give you all I have
If I could get it back
This has been the best of me
I hope you end up missing me
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that
And I'll hold on to that

I've always loved keatons other stuff, it cuts down to your soul. you feel his sadness. but this you can feel his anger and it's such a breath of fresh air. I would love to see him expand more this way.
