If you don’t like my fire, then don’t come around. Cause I’m gonna burn one down.
BEN HARPERIf you don’t like my fire, then don’t come around. Cause I’m gonna burn one down.
BEN HARPERAs long as someone else controls your history the truth shall remain just a mystery
BEN HARPERSometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.
BEN HARPERLife’s the longest picture you’re ever gonna take.
BEN HARPERTake my hand when you are worried Take my hand when you’re alone Take my hand and let me guide you Take my hand to lead you home.
BEN HARPERYou can run away from home But you can’t run away from your pain I sit here alone There’s always someone else to blame.
BEN HARPERThere’s only one proper way a song should go, but you’ve got to be patient enough to let them come together time wise.
BEN HARPERNow I love to feel that warm southern rain, Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding thing. And to see it fall on your simple country dress It’s like heaven to me I must confess.
BEN HARPERI refuse to make uninspired music.
BEN HARPERLove for me is my North Star. It’s the highest form of grace. And I love that there’s different levels and different ways of showing it, and different representations of it. Whether it’s love shown to a stranger, love to a sibling, your child, your parents, your partner.
BEN HARPERThe music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I’m doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have.
BEN HARPERDistance is temporary, but our love is permanent. This may be the last time I see you, but if you keep me in your heart, together we shall be eternal; if you believe, we shall never part.
BEN HARPEREvery single time I step into the studio, I say, ‘Can I still do this? Do I still have it? Have I ever had it?’ I suppose there’s a good amount of self-loathing that goes into any form of artisanship.
BEN HARPERDon’t be discouraged by writer’s block. Writer’s block just means you need to listen to other music.
BEN HARPERJust because you have a hit doesn’t mean you’re good [at music]. Just means you got a hit.
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.
