about

A few years ago I founded my own label, played in five bands simultaneously, commuted between St. Poelten and Vienna, the studio, rehearsal room and office, which was also my bedroom, used to work all day, when not in front of my computer, then in my head, but I've never had the feeling of success. Until I realized that life could be far more easy than I'd ever thought.

lyrics

I got so used to running
where I could have walked
I was not one to listen
instead I just talked

I had to empty myself
wash out all the dirt in my soul

Did you ever say never
while swearing to god

well imagine your life
when there's pain that will not

go away by itself
kiss you every day of the week

I was looking for answers
in places I thought
they would say I had cancer
instead I was tought

I needed clearing myself
vesseling the dirt off my soul

I would have never asked for help
never thought that I was in need to find myself
funny though that this feels like healing to me
life now turns out
far more easy than I'd ever thought

I was so used to running
away from my thoughts
I was simply too scared
to admit that I'm not

always right when I talk

then you forced me to look
myself deep in the eye
I was blinded with rage
while all I needed was cry

but it was stuck in my throat
screaming at the top of my lungs

I would have never asked for help
never thought that I was in need to find myself
funny though that this feels like healing to me
life now turns out
far more easy than I'd ever thought

Ben Martin Sankt Pölten, Austria

I'm here to write, perform and spread music that has its roots in pop with influences from soul, jazz and folk rock. Ever since I discovered the guitar as a means to express my feelings in 1985, I'm constantly refining and clearing the channel through which I receive, digest and send out music. I recorded "The Endless Stream Of Everything" to share my love and songs with you. ... more
