Let There Be Love (acoustic cover) Ben Akers
Here is my last video from my time at KBS radio, Good Morning Pops. The last broadcast of the show was on 30th June 2024.
Between October 2013 - June 2024, I wrote, researched, and performed on 520 shows. It was an amazing experience. I'm grateful to all the people who made it happen!

This was the B-side to their debut, "Somewhere Only We Know". Yep, I hadn't heard it before, but enjoyed changing the piano line to guitar.

Amazing voice 😢
That’s it! I’m taking out my guitar tomorrow to practise the 4,5 chords I learned 30 odd years ago.
Do it! Life is better with a guitar in your hands!
Great song, great cover. I’ve seem them live. There was a bit of a fireworks display when a stage light exploded.
Probably their biggest hit? Always liked this song
Nice cover! Love this song
Awesome cover! You nailed the vocals, and your chordwork is fantastic! The Police were a special band. All three members were excellent musicians, and Sting is one of the greatest songwriters! Keep up the great work! Big 👍
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic use of those open string voicings!!!
Glad you liked it!
Way to spice up this old chestnut!!
At first I thought you used a open tuning, but no, I think it’s all great chord voicings in standard tuning!!
You're right!
@@Pentasonicband On the other hand, singing this tune is a mouthful!!
Nailed it!!
Great choice, great job!!
Another awesome cover of an excellent song!!!🎉
Thanks, David!!!
Classic. I was a big fan of The Police when I was a teenager😊😊.
Never a bad time to like good songs!
Lovely job!
Thank you!
Beautiful version! I hope you'll continue to upload videos Ben.
Thanks, Francois! I'm sure I'll keep uploading. Just going to take a little break and figure out a list of songs to do!
@@Pentasonicband that's good to hear! Enjoy your well deserved break :)
Simply amazing! I loved it! Do you have tabs of your array?
@manuelacastanhostucchi8163 Thank you! Sorry, I've never really used tabs
Love this cover I too have covered this same song 👌🏼Subscribed 🤟
Beautiful
Thank you, Mike. I really appreciate it
Absolutely awesome rendition!
Oh yeah, dear Ben! Such an amazing acoustic cover of this outstanding Eagles classic! Love your version of "Desperado"! I wish you an enjoyable new week and send a big thumbs-up your way! Cheers from your Austrian friend ... Hermann
Rainbow above you~ ❤❤
Beer festival - really sounds very good ;-) Great live performance and superb video, dear Ben! I guess the rain couldn't stop you from doing a great concert!? All the best greetings from Austria and a big like ... Hermann

So amazing, dear Ben! Really a very a worthy conclusion to this incredible series! I hope you're keeping on uploading your beautiful music! Your acoustic renditions are always soooo uplifting and full of perfect singing and playing skills! I would miss your excellent works a lot! Best wishes from Austria and a fine new week to you! Big like ... Hermann
Thank you. More to come!
I remember my (Fijian) teacher playing this song on his guitar to my primary school class when I lived in Fiji in the 70s😮
Classic ❤
I really enjoyed learning this one.
Very beautiful. Kamsahamnida Sir Ben. Great job on the show. Best of luck with your future endeavors.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful! Fantastic way to finish off this decade of music. Thank you for sharing it with us. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really like the style on this one, almost a razzmatazz feeling in the guitar, very awesome! ❤
Glad you like it!
I've never heard this song done like this before. Awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Appreciate it!
Never heard this one done like this before. Nicely done my man!
This is really lovely, Ben. Hope you continue to do these covers ❤
That's the plan!
ahh ouaiii ok 😍🎸🎸
Thank you for this moment. I was born in France in 1974 and I believe that it was one of the first songs that played regularly on French radio waves and that I loved to listen to.
This is a beautiful choice song by Austin Mahone and you performed excellently , bravissimo Ben ...big big like 9
Wow dear Ben! Such an awesome acoustic cover of this very beautiful song, my friend! Really perfect vocals and fantastic guitar accompaniment! Have an enjoyable weekend! Best regards and a huge like from Austria ... Hermann
Beautiful. Kamsahamnida, Sir Ben.
Excellent performance! #Pentasonic #Pentasonicband #MoreMusiciansMoreMusic #BenAkers
Thanks, John. Just one more video from KBS to come!
Super rendition ✨✨✨🎶☀️
Hey hello dear Ben! Such soulful vocals! Really a very beautiful and relaxing acoustic cover of this very nice song (a new one for me - but it sounds superb, my dear friend!) Happy weekend and a big thumbs up your way! Best regards ... Hermann
Much appreciated!!
This is a beautiful song dear Ben and you performed excellently... all the best to you ...big big like 13 !!!
Many thanks, Carlo!
Well done, Ben! As time passes, if there is no more GMP on KBS radio, where on the Internet can people go to find more of your performances? #MoreMusiciansMoreMusic #Pentasonic
Only two more videos to come from KBS GMP shows. Honestly, I rarely bother with social media these days. But, links are in the video description :)
Mesmerizing. Very well done.
Thanks man
This is lovely. Kamsahamnida Sir Ben.
Always a pleasure!
Beautiful, Ben. This suits your voice really well. You brought a humanity to the lyrics that the original didn't have.
Thank you, Greg. Very kind of you!
Beautiful singing....It worked even without any accompaniment!
Thank you for the compliment.... but like, did you even watch the video? Literally accompanying the vocals with a guitar.... 300+ videos of me doing the exact.same.thing. 🤣
Wonderful live performance! Yes, we miss the remaining part!!!
Just Great!! Greetings from Lima Perú....!!!
What a gorgeous acoustic cover of this great Nirvana song! For me it sounds even better than the original, dear Ben! Fantastic guitar work and fabulous vocals, too! Best greetings and a fine weekend to you, my friend! Thumbs up from Austria ... Hermann
