Seems to be speaking to the sense of betrayal endured and overcome after catching a lover cheating... Take a picture of it... grow through it... and find strength in your legacy of faith to live on... move on.
Thanks for all the kind comments. 'Pictures' will be my next single, released on February 20th. I will also be touring the UK in February, dates on sale now! x
God I need to talk to someone about how GOOD this is... It makes me feel so alone, especially at 3 AM while thinking about life and reading some great books... There's no way to explain what I'm feeling right now.
Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns by John Green (believe me I hate the clichés but I read them before they got famous) and maybe Innocence by Dean Koontz or The Color Midnight Made by Andrew Winer ;)
Music does so weird things to me and even when it makes me sad I love it. I'm okay with everyone having their own taste of music but I just can't imagine someone disliking this song...
I found my old iPod the other day. I haven't used it in about three years and when I began listening to an old playlist, I rediscovered this song. I'm so annoyed with myself for forgetting this song but on the other hand I'm so happy I discovered it again. Listening to it is like taking a trip down memory lane, like looking at a picture from the past.
I used to listen to this album when I drove to and from work as an accountant apprentice... it was with the help of this man and his music which drove me to quit my job and follow my heart and study to become a filmmaker. Best decision I've ever made. Thanks Benjo.
saw him last night, best gig of my life, hes such a genuine guy he met me after and i told him how amazing he was and hugged him, he sung without a mic and everybody was silent, ah it was perfect, imagine this live.
such a beautiful song. Brings tears to my eyes everytime i hear it. Everyone keeps banging on about how great Adele's "someone like you" is but i think this is by far the best new release out there at the moment.
can't believe this doesn't have 1 million views..I never listen to mainstream music on CZcams and all those popular singers whom I won't even mention have already more than 20 million views. Well , let's hope there's still conscious people around the world who recognize the human race is going down..In every sense of the word.
If you crash a car into Your best friend's house Would you be quiet as Words came out of their mouth Stop, don't do it I have been waiting for it Stop, I knew it would come If you find a god next to Your girlfriend's bed Would it be hard to Sort out your spinning head Stop, don't say that, dear That you wanted him here Stop, don't give him the clear Take a picture of them Take a picture of them If you are afraid, don't be I have the whole thing planned We'll start in the ocean, baby And when we find the land We will be thankful to All of our friends That they didn't leave us As we got to the end
This song is so beautiful and is 100% my favorite song. I've listened to it so many times, it gives me comfort equivalent to that of a warm hug. I'm so glad this song exists.
Just been scrolling through Instagram reels as I chilled in my bed. One of your tour adverts came up and it immediately triggered memories as well as happy and sad times for me. I can’t believe I forgot you. Man, this song was, is and will always be beautiful. I found emotion in myself that’s been stifled and forgotten for a long time. Thank you.
When i first heard this song in December the video had less than 3,000 views and was an acoustic version. So pleased for Benjamin, people are finally recognising quality music.
i heard this for the first time on radio 1 .. i fell in love at the moment i heard it.. no song.. in my life..will ever make me feel this way again.. i belive.
Heard this the other day on Greg James' best of 2011 on Radio 1 for the first time, fell in love with it instantly, had to go on iplayer to find the name of the song, an hour later i am a very happy boy, best song ive heard this year, shame i didnt hear it sooner.
we need to get this song out there.. post it on facebook .. mail this to your friends.. tweet it... show it to your better half..just anything.. we need pure talent.. and he's got it.
Who would dislike this song....i mean even if it is not someone's 'type' of music they should still appreciate the songwriting and melody and the fact its so peaceful.
James Blake. Ed Sheeran. Benjamin Francis Leftwich. Ben Howard. Miles Kane. Why are there so many good new UK singers coming along? Feels like another Great British Invasion.
The things that make us feel the most are the things that confuse us as to why they are making us feel these things. Thank You Benjamin Francis Leftwich
I was on youtube and this song came up on my recomandations i guess i did a good thing to have this song in my life this might be the most beautiful song i've ever heard
I'm GLAD that Grey's Anatomy brought me here because it doesn't matter what way you're introduced to inspirational music. The point here is we all have a connection through great music, it doesn't matter how we came across it, but that we did come across it and here we are.
it's funny and unlikely how i discovered this song. i was smoking weed for my first time and my friend had her music on shuffle and this song came on right when i was half asleep in the most peaceful manner on her bed and it was a moment i will never forget. it was hands down the tranquilest three/four minutes i have ever experienced. i love ben
This song makes me sad, but also gives me a sensation of comfort at the same time
Duality inside our imagination.
I feel the same thing
Melancholic... perhaps...

can you give me a book title ?
Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns by John Green (believe me I hate the clichés but I read them before they got famous) and maybe Innocence by Dean Koontz or The Color Midnight Made by Andrew Winer ;)
thank you :) i'll try to read all three of them
this is just how I feel right now, you've nailed it. strange that a song as amazing as this can make you feel so alone isn't it
Music does so weird things to me and even when it makes me sad I love it.

This song reminds me of someone who I love dearly but left me. This song gives me strength to move on.
Benjamin, the way you make music soothes and nurtures my natural vibration

This gives total Life is Strange feels
+Zoe Antonietta True 😂😂
it really does
My feels! is true!
ohhhh Life is Strange :З
omg same! ○.○
This song is criminally underrated and still holds its own till this day… beautiful ❤
cant say how much i love this song
I love Benjamin Francis Leftwich so much, I love his name as it's satisfying to say & he sings me to sleep :}
such a beautiful song. Brings tears to my eyes everytime i hear it. Everyone keeps banging on about how great Adele's "someone like you" is but i think this is by far the best new release out there at the moment.
Oh gosh, the moment Benjamin started to sing my heart missed a beat. So beautiful
This song and Benjamin Francis Leftwich are soooo underrated

Been listening to this so much... Hurry up and come out!!!
My stepdad brought me here. He bought this song on iTunes back in 2011 so I had it on my iPod. Brings back so many memories.
I just can't stop listening to this man, he touches the soul.
If you crash a car into
Your best friend's house
Would you be quiet as
Words came out of their mouth
Stop, don't do it
I have been waiting for it
Stop, I knew it would come
If you find a god next to
Your girlfriend's bed
Would it be hard to
Sort out your spinning head
Stop, don't say that, dear
That you wanted him here
Stop, don't give him the clear
Take a picture of them
Take a picture of them
If you are afraid, don't be
I have the whole thing planned
We'll start in the ocean, baby
And when we find the land
We will be thankful to
All of our friends
That they didn't leave us
As we got to the end

Grey's has such amazing music. Goes along with an amazing show. Stellar actors.
Gave me chills.
Such a good song.
Such a beautiful voice.
I heard this song three times and I still do not understand. . . how someone can live without music so good as this
This is absolutely stunning, fell in love with it when i heard it on Radio 1 last week. From my hometown York too so even better!
I want to live in this video with the music being the sound track to my life.
This song is so beautiful and is 100% my favorite song. I've listened to it so many times, it gives me comfort equivalent to that of a warm hug. I'm so glad this song exists.
I found Kygo last year before I cycled around Norway. Now Kygo led me here...looks like Benjamin will lead me around Norway this year.
+ThisIsBarcode How was the ride?
Jokes on you, I have no name
I ended up cycling around Iceland...Benjamin keeping me company along the way!!!
ThisIsBarcode That sounds incredible. I hope one day I'll find the time and courage to start something similiar!
Jokes on you, I have no name
You only live once my friend...get out there and live it.
+ThisIsBarcode I don't know why, but this comment made me feel great. Thank you Stranger! I just recently picked up Cycling myself

Heard this on Grey's tonight and recognized Benjamin's voice INSTANTLY. So much love.
every song of this guys i listn to i just never want it to end .. beauty of a song (:
I would like to celebrate today, when I seemly understand the meaning of it, when I have loved the song so so much for 10+ years~~
When i first heard this song in December the video had less than 3,000 views and was an acoustic version. So pleased for Benjamin, people are finally recognising quality music.
I absolutely love this man's music. It takes me to a different place every time I listen to it.
i heard this for the first time on radio 1 .. i fell in love at the moment i heard it.. no song.. in my life..will ever make me feel this way again.. i belive.
Absolutely love this song ❤
Thumbs up if you like to close your eyes and just listen during his concerts. His voice sounds like a brilliant dream.
I wish that kind of songs never end. I can listen to it with hours.
Shouldn't people just be happy that his music is being heard rather than complain about how people discovered his amazing music?
This is such a beautiful song, I cannot stop listening to it. It's just incredible.
The most beautiful things in life are best left undisturbed.
This song inspires me to try to keep calm even when is too hard to be calm, because of feelings and circunstances
nothing but pure music.
Simply beautiful.
this is so beautiful... so much love
Heard this the other day on Greg James' best of 2011 on Radio 1 for the first time, fell in love with it instantly, had to go on iplayer to find the name of the song, an hour later i am a very happy boy, best song ive heard this year, shame i didnt hear it sooner.
This song is just so amazing! already one of my all time favourites. THANK YOU GREG JAMES.
best free single i've ever had off itunes!! just brilliant
It inspires me in my photography work. It's so nice. Once I was laying in the forest for 2 hours listening to this, dreaming, about the good things.
we need to get this song out there.. post it on facebook .. mail this to your friends.. tweet it... show it to your better half..just anything.. we need pure talent.. and he's got it.
Bbc radio 1 im thankful to you I love this song!
Saw this guy last night... amazing !!
One word sums up this song. Beautiful.
Saw him live tonight was amazing.....big love for this guy!
so glad radio 1 have been playing this song recently, they introduced me to this song.. which lead me to fall in love with every other song by him!
omg his voice is beautiful,
i listen this song again and again.
Saw about 20 minutes of his set at a festival last summer. Best 20 minutes of my life.
nice music..i love it.....wow thanks benjaminleft..never heard it before.
Who would dislike this song....i mean even if it is not someone's 'type' of music they should still appreciate the songwriting and melody and the fact its so peaceful.
His voice is so beautiful he's my new favorite love him
he has a beautiful voice, the words really made me think which seems to happen less and less now a days.
Ever heard of Lucid Rivers?

Back when I did yoga with my love on this track #Any2013WineTheBestForMe these were my songs from my love 😊
Tune. Absolute tune.
i always come back to this song and love it more everytime i hear it
I'm just here because his music is amazing and he deserves to be listened to by everyone!
James Blake. Ed Sheeran. Benjamin Francis Leftwich. Ben Howard. Miles Kane. Why are there so many good new UK singers coming along? Feels like another Great British Invasion.
Omg!! love that song.
The things that make us feel the most are the things that confuse us as to why they are making us feel these things.
Thank You Benjamin Francis Leftwich
BBC Radio 1 played this today. I'm so happy they did because I absolutely adore this song!
Heard this song on the radio yesterday, loved it right away! Great song!
one word.. mesmerising!!!!x
don't understand why this only has 264,393 views, it should have millions. he is such a good artist.
i saw him at truck festival on saturday. there was about 30 people sat on the grass inside a tiny merchandise tent. most amazing thing ever.
This is the most beautiful video ever.
His songs are beautiful :) x
aaah beautiful song. beautiful lyrics.
I wish this song never had to end, it is beautiful.
I'm going to see him in October - I'm so excited. His songs are so beautiful
