Well done! Young man, you’ve got some serious talent. I like the philosophical discussion at the end of the technical music lesson, detailing the lyrics makes me feel like I’m in college again, Professor. Just found your album on Apple Music. Be well..

OK confession time, I was around in the 1960s.Yes I suppose I was a flower child, yes I had flowers in my hair, totally loved The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel. Make love not war and all that. My point is, Ben you are one cool guy, listening to you telling us the meaning behind the words, I was transported back in time. As I write this the 10 o'clock news is on the TV, it's all about people killing one an other, why, what will it achieve, nothing. So sad. Keep writing and playing your music, it's really uplifting. Sending you big love. Cheers Millysue

Thanks for sharing. I really like learning about the writing process. I've been thinking about giving it a shot myself. I'll try and see if I can pick this song up but, not sure if my guitar knows how to play those riffs....lol. I've been trying to nail down You and Me by Neil Young which is kind of along the same lines/theme as your song. It takes me a little bit to make it sound recognizable but it's a fun journey.

I totally agree with pretty well everything you said there and to put that into lyrics is a great thing to do. I think most people find the lyric writing the most difficult part in writing songs but you appear to come to it quiet naturally. I don't know what gives me the authority to say that as I don't even know you other than what I have heard you say about your lyrics. Anyway, besides all that it's just a nice song, so thanks for sharing it with us..
