BEN HARPERI’m a living sunset, lightning in my bones.
BEN HARPERI get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.
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 HARPERSometimes I may be totally arrogant, sometimes I may totally be the most humble guy you’ve ever met, sometimes I may be in between. But that’s life. Who isn’t like that? What’s the big deal if I had an arrogant moment.
