'Listen' is a spontaneous composition by Ben Fernandez. As he played/composed this tune he imagined himself in an empty concert hall listening to the strains of a guitar playing this tune. Waiting and hoping that things come back to normal soon.
Ben was absolutely thrilled to have Warren play this tune.They are good friends and connect really well musically. Warren is a fantastic guitarist with a huge following worldwide. Do check out his music on music.blackstr...
