Finally!! Sorry this took so long, I’ve been studying like mad, I’m looking for a new university and things have been pretty crazy
Keaton Henson, I can’t remember how and when I found him, I think it may of be via Youtube suggestions one of the best thing ever.
What I love about his songs is that they’re simple, gentle and tender, stripped back to beyond being stripped back. He can make a track sound amazing and full of emotion with just a guitar and his voice, simplicity and emptiness is hard to pull off, but with a voice like his, you can hear every level and aspect of it, his breathing, the breaks, the stuttery vibrato, just everything.
Keaton Henson makes Bon Iver sound like Skrillex, and I love that.
His album ‘Dear…’ is beautiful, some stand out songs for me are ‘Small Hands’, ‘You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are’, and ‘Not That You’d Even Notice’
It’s fragile and melancholy, there’s a certain sadness and depression that I can relate to, I like things I can relate to so, if like me you just love deep honest music, then you’ll love this album.
A lovely album from start to finish. It shows that he’s a talent songwriter, the air and pureness of his voice and lyrics that just give me goosebumps

I like this song A LOT, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6-QvBz9_lY because he’s lyrically great too, some lyrics I like are,
‘As we lie in bed, I feel lonely
Though we’re young, I feel eighty years old
And your arms around me are keeping me warm
But baby, I’m still feeling cold
Baby, I’m still feeling cold
Though we’re young, I feel eighty years old
And your arms around me are keeping me warm
But baby, I’m still feeling cold
Baby, I’m still feeling cold
And, girl, you must know you are lovely
You’re kind and you’re beautiful, too
And I feel in some way I do love you
But babe, I’m not in love with you’
You’re kind and you’re beautiful, too
And I feel in some way I do love you
But babe, I’m not in love with you’
I can feel this songs rawness and complete honesty, I just love
Keaton Henson - Sweetheart, What Have You Done To Us - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCNtWKdi5Ds - Lovely, the guitar in this reminds me a lot of Daughter, just very atmospheric and reverb drenched.
Flesh and Bone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAqp9MtRFNo - One of my favorites
I cry whenever I listen to his songs, I do get teary, I think it’s because of his shakey voice
His videos are lovely too, just take a look at this:

'Please forget me, you were right dear,
I am cold and self-involved,
And though I’ll miss you, recent lover
I am weak and therefore fold
Get distracted by my music,
Think of nothing else but art
I’ll write my loneliness in poems,
If I can just think how to start’

Another thing I love is his look..I have a thing for men with big beards, his beard is awesome. Best beard ever.
His voice flows like honey, his heart is golden, but no doubt it’s broken too..
Admittedly I haven’t been listening to him a lot recently, but do I like him a lot, he’s different, sweet and genuine, most importantly he’s unique and that’s what I love about music, if you stand out..he stands out and he’s getting the recognition he deserves.

Sorry I linked like crazy on this one, but his music kind of speaks for itself.
I don’t know if anyone reads this, admittedly after losing my last blog and followers, I’m finding it hard starting again.
I might babble about an artist a bit different next time…anyway, stay happy.
