Ben Howard - Am I In Your Light? Lyrics






Am I in your light, babe?
Am I in your light?
Am I forced beside you?
Am I in your heart?

Am I in your light, babe?
Am I in your heart?
Am I forced beside you?
Am I in your heart?

All my friends they
Let me know
I've a fickle mind
Before the shows
I've a brittle tongue
It comes and goes
I've a fascination
With all I cannot control

Am I in your light, babe?
Am I in your light?
Am I forced beside you?
Am I in your heart?

All my friends they
Let me know
I've a fickle mind
Before the shows
I've a brittle tongue
It comes and goes
I've a fascination
With all I cannot control

Am I in your light, babe?
Am I in your light?
Am I forced beside you?
Am I in your light, babe?

Ben Howard Am I In Your Light? Comments
  1. D.... M....

    soundtrack to the love I'll never have

  2. j.... ....

    I get the feeling this was written while his relationship with the Bond brothers was breaking down. The verses seem to describe how they felt and the chorus perhaps Ben acknowledging some of his issues.

    j.... ....

    I never thought about it that way... damn

  3. u.... ....

    it's Beautiful. everything about it

  4. k.... m....

    god this is so deep we have all felt that forced beside you feeling i did

  5. T.... ....

    is that ben and india in the pic?

  6. J.... S....

    Goosebumps

  7. L.... N....

    Am I the only one that feels he wrote this FOR India? I hear that she doesnt sing with him anymore... thoughts??

    L.... N....

    Lora Newton i agree. But don’t know 100%

  8. M.... H....

    if you like this style of bens it seems his new album and songs are in this style - at least with similar guitar techniques and songwriting structure.

  9. U.... K....

    Just when I was sure I had read most of the comments in you tube I find another gem!

  10. T.... F....

    I've a fickle mind...I've a brittle tongue...I've a fascination with all I cannot control.

  11. D.... D....

    the synergy between them is magical

  12. K.... S....

    Those two should get together. India n Ben.

  13. H.... A....

    2018 and nobody has made anything as good as Ben. I heard some lunatic compare Ben to Ed sheeran.

    H.... A....

    Mina Townsend apparently this really pisses Ben off when he's compared to Edd Sheeran!!

    H.... A....

    justin vernon :)))

    H.... A....

    @Kaan Akgöl yup

    H.... A....

    Lol.. surely they were joking, Ben is another level. Well not even another level. Music genius is probably fair

    H.... A....

    Sufjan Stevens and bon iver I like just as much. All similar but very diffrent

  14. L.... T....

    I seen this live and it was like listening to pure heaven “whatever that sounds like”

  15. S.... F....

    Personally, I find this his greatest song. It stands apart from all the rest with its very unique ambiance and vibe. His voice is so hypnotizing and the constant fast-paced guitar rhythm which plays silently in the background makes me feel amazingly intrigued in a dark way. I very much adore this song!

  16. t.... m....

    💜💙💚Love his rich, deep, warm tone in this

  17. t.... m....

    💜💙💚

  18. J.... A....

    I really cannot explain how good this song is or how it makes me feel...

  19. s.... ....

    mmmmmmmhhh... wonderfull! ♥

  20. T.... ....

    This is his best song.

  21. T.... B....

    This is my favorite song its so off tempo in a sense that it appeals for itself.

  22. M.... D....

    "Am I In Your Light?"

    Am I in your light, babe?
    Am I in your light?
    Am I forced beside you?
    Am I in your heart?

    Am I in your light, babe?
    Am I in your heart?
    Am I forced beside you?
    Am I in your heart?

    All my friends they
    Let me know
    I've a fickle mind
    Before the shows
    I've a brittle tongue
    It comes and goes
    I've a fascination
    With all I cannot control

    Am I in your light, babe?
    Am I in your light?
    Am I forced beside you?
    Am I in your heart?

    All my friends they
    Let me know
    I've a fickle mind

    With all I cannot control

    Am I in your light, babe?
    Am I in your light?
    Am I forced beside you?
    Am I in your light, babe?

  23. K.... M....

    The winner of this track is not the lyrics or Ben, the bass guitar or even the acoustic guitar. It's the mindblowingly terrifying cello, it creates this whole dark vibe from the very beginning till the end. India is a legend!

    K.... M....

    I completely agree with you. Are there other songs that you can recommend to me?

    K.... M....

    Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO059zH-Ntc&t=2780s

  24. i.... ....

    You make money with this song? Thats not legal

  25. M.... ....

    The lower the man hums or sings, I get drawn into some kind of trance :D

  26. m.... ....

    what's going on with him? i havent heard of him in a long time ...:/

    m.... ....

    moriiiiitz he's in a new band called 'a blaze of feather' they have music out and are playing live shows !

    m.... ....

  27. a.... S....

    listen to this after a hit of dmt

  28. P.... C....

    Amazing ❤

  29. c.... ....

    Am I in your light, babe?
    Am I in your light?
    Am I forced beside you?
    Am I in your heart?

    Am I in your light, babe?
    Am I in your heart?

    c.... ....

    a lot of same lyrics are returning

    c.... ....

    Where can I buy this song?

  30. c.... ....

    ...speechless...

  31. L.... M....

    Demais!!!Demais!!!! Amo as músicas desse cara!! #benhowardbrasil

  32. N.... D....

    I love the odd sound effects of the other stringed instrument in the background, a single cello? Almost sounds like a whale speaking under water at times.

    N.... D....

    NATEture's Domain Same feeling.. Awesomeness

    N.... D....

    Yeah India on the cello, awesome

  33. C.... M....

    A lick of cello in this, too? I adore this! 😍

  34. H.... ....

    Ever wonder how to explain what you could never find the words to explain?

    That is what music is for, it's just what it does. Suspend the need, temporarily, for explanation. Just feel. Oh fuck this is amazing.

  35. c.... x....

    The slow hits of bass are actually euphoric fuck me up

  36. R.... M....

    Ok, when I finally find my partner they're going to have to be a blend of Sidney Poitier & Ben Howard..........oh, & Jane Goodall!

  37. M.... ....

    Anybody else think that they got like a FB message or something at 1:51? (Listen for the blip in the background)

  38. M.... �....

    do something with 2 cellos

  39. D.... C....

    p.... h....

    India Bourne. She plays a ton of instruments as well as sings with him. They grew up together and have been playing songs together since they were kids.

  66. S.... W....

    This has a little 'pop!' at a little after 1:50 xD S'cool though!

  67. F.... ....

    Peformance maravilhosa...

  68. B.... V....

    Hoping he'll do an official release for this gem soon :(

    B.... V....

    @Braiden V Use this mate to convert it http://www.youtube-mp3.org/ and then drag and drop the file onto itunes to add it. Obviously if he ever official releases it then purchase the song to support the artist! :)

  69. P.... S....

    somebody has any tabs for this ? i can`t figure it out ;(

    P.... S....

    +Paul Sehm its just dadgad tuning, playing triplets on the top two strings of the 2nd fret and open for the verse. with chorus just alternating between the 7th/8th fret

    P.... S....

    I know some of these words.

  70. J.... M....

    πιτσουνακια

  71. z.... ....

    Ben Howard, You're The man! sometimes i wish you were mine :-)

  72. O.... n....

    please what is the instrument at the very beginning called?

    O.... n....

    @Onyi noyi i guess a violin

    O.... n....

    @Thomas Bonjernoor otherwise a cello

    O.... n....

    @Thomas Bonjernoor Thanks! 

    O.... n....

    @Onyi noyi It's India Bourne on the on the cello

    O.... n....

    That's what harmonics sound like on a cello

  73. O.... n....

    Just when I was sure I had heard all of Ben Howard's songs, I find another gem!

    O.... n....

    +Onyi noyi its on the vinyl version of his new album :)

    O.... n....

    +Dan “BTTG” Gimberg no shit, he's a hit machine

    O.... n....

    Just got his Vinyl version of I forget where we were. Found 4 gems there! She treats me well is so amazing

    O.... n....

    Ive never said this about any artist but i literally have never heard a bad or even just okay BH song. Extremely biased here though

    O.... n....

    check keiko and master. Two unpublished songs that i wished to appear on an album

  74. w.... ....

    He opened with this in Plymouth and have to say the 2 hour drive from Sennen was so worth it to see him live.

  75. L.... C....

    love it

  76. T.... B....

    He is so amazing

  77. C.... F....

    facebook notification at 1:52?

    C.... F....

    @Christopher Fernando LoL

    C.... F....

    @Christopher Fernando haha i don't even have facebook and i was distracted by the sound for just a moment

    C.... F....

    +Christopher Fernando haha sounds like it, so maybe the guy at the top was right, 3 am at home, spaced out, starting to hum, facebook always distracts you in the wrong moments.... :D

  78. R.... Z....

    Tutorial finally on my channel :)

  79. t.... ....

    Seeing him tomorrow in London, apparently he opens with this one

    t.... ....

    @SuperBad It was so good, right? Hope you enjoyed Ben's performance as much as I did.

    t.... ....

    +SuperBad where do you find the anouncment where he is playing ?
    I live in spain but i will go any where to see him.. but dificult to find out where
    he is the best !

    t.... ....

    @Ciro Jeff I know he's stopped touring his latest album now, knowing him he will probably disappear for a year or so whilst he works on another record, but your best bet is to follow him on twitter, facebook etc or to sign up to his mailing list on his website.

    t.... ....

    +SuperBad Agreed, the last album was announced when end of the affair was emailed out to the mailing list :)

  80. N.... ....

    dont know about you but i could die now.

    N.... ....

    Nate felt this way since 1995 dude.

  81. S.... ....

    I've never heard of this song until i bought the LP 3 weeks ago. I love it, the dark and mysterious sound makes me sad in a good way..

  82. K.... ....

    so beautiful! Can't get enough of his songs

  83. K.... C....

    anyone else getting an especially strong alexi murdoch (and thereby also nick drake) vibe from this song?

    K.... C....

    @David Collier @Kaight Conheady Definitely Nick Drake. It's all over the place.

    K.... C....

    so so much...wicked nick drake feel to it...

    K.... C....

    +Kaight Conheady im getting a strong leonard cohen vibe out of this

    K.... C....

    Reminds me of a cross between Nick Drake and Jose Gonzalez

    K.... C....

    nick drake is one of his influences

  84. r.... t....

    this man! this man :) !!this is just too awesome Mr Howard!!

  85. T.... B....

    lovely bass !

    great song

  86. N.... ....

    his music MOVES me....the lyrics hit home constantly.  AMAZING.  I hope to one day see him live. 

    N.... ....

    hey just a prophete live. its amazing. almost like not from this world. I hope too you gonna see him live!!!

  87. M.... H....

    No.  No, you're not.  Not anymore.  Sorry.  : (   #JMH

  88. S.... ....

    I dun gon died n went ta heaven

  89. V.... S....

    Holy shitballs this in on another level

    V.... S....

    This guy was at the big bang when it blew

    V.... S....

    Vidushi Sharma Yeah....another level, haha....

  90. K.... P....

    divine cello tune.marvelous song generally.

  91. G.... B....

    I figured out the guitar part, find it here to learn- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx0zxAtkMv8

  92. t.... ....

    imagine singing that calm while fingerpicking at that speed the whole song

    t.... ....

    man its the triplets that get me.. if he plucked all 3 at at the same time, it'd be so much easier.. but the fact that their is a delay between the 3.. it makes it a much harder haha

    t.... ....

    It's not that hard, it's just practice man.

    t.... ....

    AHAH! You must not listen a lot of fingerpicking: Andy Mckee, Antoine Dufour, Sergio Altamura, Pino Forastière, Vicente Amigo, Tommy Emmanuel... :)

    t.... ....

    this song isnt hard, but some of his finger picking songs are pretty difficult. But like you said, just practice. You can learn any song with lots of practice!

    t.... ....

    I am always astounded how quickly conversations start derailing when people don't have to face each other.....

  93. G.... O....

    that look says he has done it

  94. r.... M....

    Nunca pensé escuchar el Chelo tan vivo, como si cantara y gritara en fondo de voz con Ben, que gran equipo hacen con India Bourne, larga vida a la magia y la fantasía. 

  95. T.... D....

    Soul Man........

  96. E.... ....

    Sheer brilliance!

  97. J.... ....

    Another great but less known Ben's song. This piece really reminds me of Jose Gonzalez's style.
     PS. Great choice with picture. : )

    J.... ....

    Tbf it's literally just been released so it's not gonna be very well knobs is it?

    J.... ....

    @Scott Harvey That's not the main reason. I guess it won't be popular cos it's bonus track only on vinyl record. You can't buy it on iTunes for example... yet.

    J.... ....

    It reminds me a lot of Nick Drake actually, wouldn't mind if his music went a little this way.
    Thanks for sharing

    J.... ....

    ben howard this song and his voice are gorgeous... hah I just found Jose Gonzalez, great music and somewhat similar.

    J.... ....

    Omg this is on the vinyl!!? I just ordered that for Christmas! Yesssss
