What a super-special find THIS is! We're all dying for something new from Ben and album 2 is looming on the distant horizon so the timing of this is perfect. Ok, it's by no means NEW - it has a similar sound to music from around Ben's Games In The Dark EP period, it even sounds like his GITD backing vocalist Ayla is singing backing vocals on it too! Listen, share, comment and most of all LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
I do not own the rights to this song, I have uploaded it for educational purposes for those interested in Ben Howard

Ben Howard - Ocean Song
Found the letter under a stone
Oh told of giants, kings, oh palaces an gold, palaces an gold
Somewhere, somewhere over the horizon
And I swear, I swear I'm going out there to find them, to find them
Oh I'm going to the ocean, no no no
Answer some of these questions that been draggin me down
All this time
Oh the mountains, mountains of black an white, white
Til I know know what I found here
Til I know know what I found here
Darling won't you wait for me
Darling won't you be there standing at the shore
'Cause I'm comin home, comin home soon
Comin home, dariling I'll be comin home to you
Been here tryin, tryin to clear my head
Dreaming of words, words my father always said to me
Said don't, don't be afraid of the dark sometimes
In your hours of hurt, Son that's when you'll find
How strong a heart can be
How beautiful the sun often is
How carefree is the seagull as it flies
How much I really mean
Yeah I'm going to the ocean, no no no
Answer some of these questions that been draggin me down
All this time
Oh the mountains, mountains of black an white, white
Til I know know what I found here
Til I know know what I found here, found
Darling won't you wait for me
Darling won't you be there standing at the shore
'Cause I'm comin home, comin home soon
Comin home, dariling I'll be comin home to you
Comin home, I'm home soon
Comin home, dariling I'll be comin home to you
Though I can't be entirely sure if the backing vocals are those of Ayla - I'm quietly confident that it's her. Someone asked what Ayla's doing musically these days, well here are some links to her Susie Ro & Ayla My Space and Soundcloud
