    'As long as the rain' is a song written by Ben Holland for his album 'Bits & Bobs'. It was released on March 26, 2016.

And the rains been falling since time began
Since before the flood and the first rivers ran
Since the first songs were kept inside
In the darkness where the stars used to hide

                                               lines from 'As long as the rain'



     'As long as the rain'? This song is everything.
   For those who know Mr. Holland, this song is just another masterpiece with wonderful emotions, amazing lyrics and music. For other people, this song can be a revelation, a brand new beautiful world, a deep breath from 'a normal music'.
     I don't know how he is doing it but he is giving listeners something more than music. Emotions. Some kind of magic. His heart and soul. And that's incredible.

      I wrote it in previous posts about Mr. Holland, but I will say it again: this is another breathtaking song. From the first to the last second this song is just breathtaking.
    And his voice. And that magical mood between the lines. And the lyrics. Just a perfect song.

     I will tell you a secret. You have to listen to this song in the darkness. Alone. Just close your eyes, put the play and fell in the music. With your eyes closed, you can be under the impression that he is singing right next to you. That he is right next to you, playing on his guitar and singing just for you. You can feel his voice on your skin.
   Trust me. Just try this. I promise you, the magic will happen in your life.

    The lyrics? Too perfect to be true. As always. You can imagine every word, every line, you can feel a million emotions. You can feel his voice on your skin. That's incredible.
    You can fall in the music, you can fall in lyrics. you can love it, admire it, be happy. You can cry, be sad - but you will be still in love with this song.

    We need this kind of music. Songs like this one are like a beautiful star in the night sky. Something unique.
     It's important to feel the music, it's important to be a part of music. To feel the lyrics, music and emotions deep in your soul.
    "As long as the rain", as the almost all songs by Ben Holland, is a perfect mix of the purest and the most wonderful things in the music world. I wrote it already but I think you should know that: Mr. Ben Holland is somebody between Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne.
      Mr. Ben Holland is the King of today's music. A real music, of course.

    I have been listening to this song so many times and I still don't have enough. I think I am addicted to this song. And I am proud of it.
    Don't worry, you will fall in love with this song.

Ben Holland : Dead Leaves

 

Ben Holland is a singer and songwriter from London [UK]. He released five albums: Lethal Love of Mine, Bits & Bob, South on East Street, In use day & night, Live Here & There.

You can find more information about Ben Holland on his FB page, Twitter, Instagram, Bandcamp, iTunes.

 

Ben Holland is a talented musician. That's a fact. His songs are always something amazing with great sounds and wonderful lyrics. That's a fact. But today I would like to say a few words about his newest song -  Dead Leaves.

If you like folk or an acoustic music with amazing lyrics and amazing voice of the singer, I think, you have found the right song. Ladies and Gents, let me introduce you Dead Leaves by Ben Holland.

 

In my opinion Dead Leaves is a perfect song for only for the autumn, but for every day when you want to listen to something real, something good, something breathtaking. Yes, this song is breathtaking from the first to the last second not only because of wonderful lyrics and ideal music, but also because of his voice and that special mood between the lines and sounds. This song is unique.

They talked for hours till the moon rose
Then in the twilight they both began to cry
Then all went quiet in the station
And the dead leaves danced across the sky

lines from Dead Leaves 

If you will read the whole lyrics you will see a beautiful story. You can cry, you can admire, you can to be sad, you can feel bad or good. You can imagine every word, every fragment. Yes, listening to this song you can feel a lot of emotions and you can see every line, every verse as the fragment of the story or as one small story. That's amazing.

See the man standing on the platform
On his way back home from a war
He sees her there through the smoke of his breath
Sees her standing alone in the door

She was just a girl maybe seventeen
Shivering in the winter cold
With hair like the leaves that blew around her feet
Auburn dipped in gold

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

He cupped his hand around her cigarette
She smiled and bowed her head
'Are you waiting for a train or for someone?'
She sighed 'My someone's dead'

They talked for hours till his train came
They kiss and then they part
He dreamed as the tracks took him homeward
And listened to the beat of his heart

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

His wife came and met him at the station
Five long years he'd been away
She told him how their children both had grown
Neither had very much to say

They walked alone by the river
She was scared to hold his hand
He'd already seen what she tried to hide
She'd sold her golden wedding band

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

He told her that she was looking older
She told him 'Well that's what time will do'
'Every day's been a battle since you've been away'
He said 'I've had my battles too'

His children they met him in the hallway
A soldier and a stranger in their home
She said 'I thought our Daddy was a baker'
The only man they'd ever known

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

'My dear, five years is a long time
I did some things I didn't want to do
But please don't hate me for surviving
Our children needed clothing and food'

He flew into a rage and left them shaking
He ran back and boarded the train
With that young girl he'd left at the station
And hot blood pounding in his brain

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now

The train took him back to that station
He stood where he'd stood years before
And through the smoke of his cigarette
Again, he saw her standing in the door

Now just a little older than seventeen
Still shivering in the winter cold
With hair like the leaves that blew around her feet
Silver where once was gold

They talked for hours till the moon rose
Then in the twilight they both began to cry
Then all went quiet in the station
And the dead leaves danced across the sky

Sister Mary threw those petals high up in the air
As we read our wedding vow
I will love you for a lifetime at least
Forever just as now. 

 

In my opinion this song is a piece of real and good, so good music. It's important to feel the music, you know - magic inside the words and sounds. And guess what - Dead Leaves has everything what makes the song perfect. It's something between Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne, such a great mix of them. To be honest, Dead Leaves makes something that you want to listen to this song non-stop and you always want more and more. When you are listening to Dead Leaves, you have only one thought in your mind: damn, this is it! this is it!. 

I have to tell you, I have been listening to this song so many times and I still don't enough. I think I am addicted to this song. And I am proud of it.

First one was "Robbers" by The 1975 and the second - "Simple As This" by Jake Bugg. Who knows, maybe this week or next he will do us some great surprise and he will do another cover [or covers]... I really hope so. 
   Anyway, as for me both of these songs are very, very great. Excellcent voice, super performing of these songs, excellent choice with these songs. Great job Aaron!
   And you, what do you think about these covers? I'm sure you like them too.

Song of the day : "Do Or Die" by Thirty Seconds to Mars

Today I chose "Do Or Die" by Thirty Seconds to Mars (or 30 Seconds to Mars, as who likes) as the song of the day and I hope you will enjoy this music and lyrics.

"Do Or Die"is a rock song from their fourth studio album Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams [May 2013], written by Jared Leto.

Why I chose this song? Because I love them. Because I like lyrics and music. Because music video is epic. And because this song is something more than only a sounds with words. Because this song it's like a story.

I should write here that's how the story goes because every song has own story and means something for everyone, no matter is it slow, sad or happy or even when it's weird. And I think (now I'm sure of it) the same is with this song.

From the other side, I think that "I will never forget the momen", "that's how the story goes", "time to do or die" or just "do or die" will be remembered forever as just another quotes from their songs like f.e. "one day maybe we'll meet again" or "I will never forget, I will never regret, I will live my life" from "Closer to the Edge" or "I've got to remember this is just a game" from "A Beautiful Lie" or just "Yes, this is a cult". And I think this song, like "Closer to the Edge", means a lot for their fans - Echelon.Why? Because it's about us and for us, about Echelon and the band.

Music video to this song refers to their song and music video "Closer to the Edge" [2010] from their previous album This Is War [2009].

I'm sitting in the dark writing this having just finished this little film and although I don't feel quite done yet it's time to let it go.
This is a story about an incredible adventure that we all shared together this summer. A summer that we will never forget. It's also a reminder (for myself as well) to LIVE LIFE NO MATTER WHAT. But ultimately it's a love letter to you all. The believers.
Even before I started shooting I thought of it as a companion piece to Closer To The Edge, a sequel of sorts, the next chapter. I knew it had to be special as Closer is held in such high regard by you all. So we worked hard. And then worked even harder. Sharing this journey with you all has been the gift of a lifetime and I hope you can see and feel that in this piece...our gratitude. It was difficult to surrender this one. I wanted to keep filming, continue the interviews, discover more, learn more and stay on the journey. But it was time and here it is. I hope it speaks to all of you and lets you know how much you mean to us.
Provehito In Altum
-J

These words by Jared Leto, you can find on YouTube under the music video of "Do Or Die".

Ok, I know that I can write here a million words and it would be nothing or too less to say about this song, so it would be better if you will listen to this song alone and then think about it and say your own opinions, what do you think about this song.

And one more thing - 30 Seconds to Mars? Yes, this is a cult. Not only for me. △

In the middle of the night
When the angels scream;
I don't wanna live a lie that I believe;
Time to do or die.

I will never forget
The moment, the moment.
I will never forget
The moment...
And the story goes oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh!
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh!
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh-oh!
That's how the story goes.

That's how the story goes.

You and I'll never die.
It's a dark embrace.
In the beginning was the light of a dawning age.
Time to be alive.

I will never forget
The moment, the moment.
I will never forget this night we sing, we sing:
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh!
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh!
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh-oh!
That's how the story goes.

Fate is coming - that I know!
Time is running - got to go!
Fate is coming - that I know!
Let it gooo-oh-oh!
Hear me now
Under the banner of heaven
We dream out loud.

Do or die and the story goes
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh-oh)
And the story goes
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh!
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-woh-ohhh!
This is the story.
Fate is coming - that (this is the story) I know
Time is running - got (this is the story) to go
Fate is coming - that (this is the story) I know
Let it gooo-oh-oh!
Hear me now
Under the banner of heaven
We dream out loud,dream out loud
Fate is coming - that (time to do or die) I know.
Time is running - got (time to do or die) to go.
Fate is coming - that (time to do or die) I know.
Let it gooo, oh-oh!
