me /////////

making music, drinking cold drinks on the porch, seeing friends and family laugh, finding beauty in that which is different, tuning my piano, letting the light shine into my window, forgetting the past and moving forward, long conversations with those i love, erasing and correcting lyrics, finding my path.

you?

a day in the life ///////////

i'm working on a second record. it's a daunting task. i hear all kinds of melodies in my head. i'm not sure which i should release to the public. i listen to all genres of music, and i can write in many different styles, so it's a matter of picking and choosing what i want you to hear. it's a big game of risk. i don't mean the board game risk, i mean the high level of chance i will create and release something that you will enjoy whether it be unique, catchy, full of emotion, real, or inspiring; this is my goal.

release date for the new album? not yet. next tour? working some of that out now. what to eat for lunch today? i suggest jimmy johns #1 pepe.

there's a pleasant future waiting for all of us. i'm excited to be a part of this world, and grateful to have such good friends, family, and of course fans! until next time,

I'm On Tour Again /////////////

I'm on tour again! This time with a good friend of mine, David Archuleta.
We kicked off the tour with two amazing shows at The Abravanel Hall in our hometown of Salt Lake City! Next stop: Bakersfield, CA.
Hopefully I'll type a few things here and there to keep you informed to how the tour is going. But if you're craving a little more than this, follow me on Twitter.com/bentonpaul
Happy Thanksgiving to my readers!

Walls & Moon Lyric //////////

more lyric requests...

Benton Paul // "Walls"

It seems like blood has stained this place
From all the noise and tired mistakes
What a waste

How do we clean the mess we made
Is it too late

When the walls come down
And we find higher ground
I can see the sun come out

War can be small, it can be great
Within our homes and in our state
Are we safe

When the walls come down
And we find higher ground
I can see the star come out again

It seems like blood has stained this place


Benton Paul // "Moon"

Everywhere I look today
Things fade away
Nothing ever seems to last
But when I turn to the sky
In your eyes
I see my future and past

Moon, will you keep falling onto my side

Though you're many miles away
That's okay
You always do come back around
If gravity didn't control me
I'd jump off the ground
Into space

Moon, will you keep falling onto my side
Moon, I'm okay knowing that you'll stay the night

Up in the sky two stars align
Up in the sky two stars align tonight
Up in the sky two stars align

Moon, will you keep falling onto my side
Moon, I'm okay knowing that you'll stay the night
