hey man..i liked the video bro .. i played a talent show a pew months ago ..under ben blanchard msa art club... maybe you could give a few pointers or somthin.ive recorded other songs moslty originals and im gnna make a profile..ill add you.
I'm liking the new tracks Ben!! We've been out of touch, yet perhaps not ever separate.... Whats new in LA? You famous yet :) I'm gonna call you soon....
benny benny benny gone to california don't know when or if he ever come back
you know he didn't get asked to join the ashram said they didn't the twinkle in his eye
now he's standing at the door pounds his fist into a roar just like he means it
when i call he won't come to the phone but he don't know
that behind the door is a big scam and the men are so weak
live in his car until he jumps the wall over over over the spotlight
benny b benny b is gonna make a comeback be radiant and sh sh sh shine like a christmas bell
all the letters on the rejection note from the ashram became all the letters of this poem and they hardly rhyme
but the point of the story is not that he left here its that he's gone over there to make a point or sing until the walls fall down elevate his spirits into lightness into sunshine so he can fly for free when he wants to come home
OH BENNY B. SWING BY AND SEE WHAT I WAS UP TO THIS SUMMER, WE SHOULD BE PLAYING, WANNA PLAY AT THE OPENING OF THE RESTAURANT I DID DOWNTOWN? YOU ME N KILLER, WOULD BE A HOOT, WUZ UP DUDE!, YO, DAVE O.
Hey stranger what's cookin? Diggin the new tunes. Guess what? Finally got my feet wet down here with a new band called The Johns! You should come down and play a show with them!
When's the new album coming out? I'm waiting!!! Me and the Black Rabbit is the best song ever and we all need to hear it so get crackin' much love, chi
