BEN HARPERI grew up listening to spiritual music, Blind Willie Johnson and folk.
BEN HARPERIt’s so hard to do and so easy to say but sometimes you just have to walk away
BEN HARPERSome things You have to let be lost Some battles, some battles You have to leave unfought. Then the truth just wastes away In all we dare not say. And in all we can’t explain But I faithfully remain.
BEN HARPERI really feel there’s no limitation on what this band can do in the studio or on the stage. That’s an empowering feeling – that we can bring a song to life.
BEN HARPERIt’s not easy for a mother and son to sing a duet. You can’t just sing about anything.
BEN HARPERMy main concern when travelling around the world is finding a place to skateboard!
BEN HARPERI’m not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum ‘n’ bass record.
BEN HARPERSometimes it’s lightning in a bottle and you got the song. But oftentimes it shows up.
BEN HARPERI love being on the road, I love playing.
BEN HARPERI just want to keep doing what I feel.
BEN HARPERI don’t know how to not become every person I walk by.
BEN HARPERThe spirit is what guides my life, and I’m humbly on my knees in thanks for guidance and direction every day. But God is not something to be preached, it’s something to be lived.
BEN HARPERWhen it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option.
BEN HARPERIt just takes a pebble to bring down a good man.
BEN HARPERThere’s no love like a lost love and no pain like a broken heart.
BEN HARPERI want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.
