Ben Lee

But I dont want to..... I am tired if so much wanting.... sorry about the static vid...... If its true I ache for you... sigh... bigger sigh.....  

daisy ~ ben lee daisy (lyrics)

i didn't see it coming 
i just thought that you were friendly
but here we are passionately embraced 

i suppose it's kind of funny
but it's also kind of scary
that your kiss brought back a feeling i'd erased

when you said that you were lonely
and i said i thought you would be
then you took me to a darker holy place

then i said i liked to kiss you
and you said you loved to kiss me
then kissed the sweetest kiss i'll ever taste

When I saw the lead in on this and realised that Ben Lee was actually going to try do an accoustic cover of one of my favourite all time songs I was not only bemused, indignant enough to several pffts.. and couldnt initially bring myself to listen but then ok I was curious.. You see Don Henley's Heart of the Matter has a place in my heart that has never faded with time, it never will.. it has been played thousands of times and each time I next hear it, I fall in love with...

"and i want a tv embrace and i, im getting off your boiling plate they swore youd steal my steam to feed your dream and then be gone i wish i could say that everyone was wrong." one of my indie music crushes. always. i'm so tired and over-worked, but trying to stay happy. music, you always save me. lucy.

Across The Universe - Thumbs WAY down

"Review" really isn't the right world for this, since I only made it about half way through. Horrendous.

I've been conflicted about this movie since it's theatrical release...I hate musicals, but I love the Beatles. My compromise was to wait til it came out on cable. And I am glad I didn't waste a Netflix rental on it. I can't even say anymore....it was mind numbingly bad to me...entrenching me even more rigidly in my 'all... MORE

the night before i moved to chicago my best friend and i went out and got tattoos. it had been years and years since we'd been separated by so many miles, and it seemed something worthy of a permanent mark. that night, and the art we both wear now forever, is a celebration of the connection that we have and a reminder that distance makes no difference when you love someone. a good thing to remember in life, i think. mine is a daisy wrapped around the nickname she gave ...

i love the song! but hey, check out the poor guy in white shirt at the left in 2:18. he got hit in the tooot! hehehe!

My love for Ben Lee grows with every album. How could you not love a guy who would write a song like this? The entire new record, RIPE, is SO SO good...i can't recommend it enough! I will post one more track in the comments...

I love shit song and I'm trying to learn it on guitar.

"Ripe," is out September on New West. Just read a small report on yahoo, but the guest list is pretty inspired: Mandy Moore: "guests on the track "Birds and Bees," which Lee likens on his blog (http://www.ben-lee.com) to 'Summer Lovin'' from the musical Grease. 'Mandy was very sweet and did her bestOlivia Newton-John for me,' he writes." Benji Madden from Good Charlotte co wrote a song Sara Watkins from Nickel Creek Benmont Tench from Tom Petty's Heartbreakers ... MORE

This song might make you feel relaxed, sleepy, or inspired, but it just makes me think that someday Ben Lee will go crazy and blow something up. It's really crappy quality, just to warn you.

i wanna know what he knows i wanna feel what he felt i wanna go where he's been i wanna know what he knows i wanna hear your secrets i want you and i want him cos you smell like apple candy and we're singing hallelujah and the edge in your affection broke my skin i wanna know what he knows i wanna touch what he touched call me by his name cos i know you made a promise and told him he's your lover make me feel the same ... really, who wouldn't feel s...
