about

There's people in the world who manage to retain their smile in situations that would make most others break down and cry. The have my full respect.

lyrics

Imagine life 200 years ago
Can’t see any difference at all
There’s one to tell us all what’s good and bad
And what to believe in

Imagine what you wear is what you sow
Can’t see why to throw it away
Noone to tell us all what’s good and bad and what to believe
Noone to show us all what food is bad and what to believe

When I walk I see smiles
I see love I see mothers and fathers with children and I ask myself
Where in the world do they find happiness
When there’s terror all over the place
guess they don’t give a damn

Imagine what you hear is what you know
Can’t see any difference at all
No matter how big the load of crap you have to believe it
No other point of view is possible can’t help but believe it

When I walk I see smiles
I see pain I see brothers and sisters surviving a cold winter night
Out in the streets where the people won’t give anything
But a nauseating look

When I walk I see smiles
I see love I see hate I see husbands and wives living a TV soap
I ask myself where they find all the energy
to overcome all their agony

When I walk I see smiles
I see children believing in something that takes all their hard times away
Finding another poor sinner
Asking for sugar or something alike

When I walk I see smiles
I see mothers and fathers with children and I ask myself
Where in the world do they find happiness
When there’s terror all over the place
I guess they just don’t give a damn

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
