Does anybody else like Ben Harper?

[NaomiMcCartney]

To me this guy can really hit his tunes well! :rock1: He doesn't stick with just one style! He goes from rock, to jazz, to blues, to gospel, to New Orleans style, to country, to spanish guitar, etc... He's not your typical rock star! Somewhat like Dave Matthews but not really the same. If you are a spritual person, you are bound to like his style! His lyrics are phenomenal! Here I will post one of his lyrics here now!


Written by: Ben Harper


Take My Hand

Lord I work to serve you
And I hope I've served you well
Oh - I've lived a life to join you
And now only time will tell

Oh - Take 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

Father dear father
Pulled his car to the side of the road
Looked at his children with tears in his eyes
Said life is too heavy a load

Take 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

Some days I'm struck with sorrow
Need a place to hide
There's nowhere else you can put life
But way down deep inside

Take my hand and let me guide you
Take my hand when you're alone
Take my hand and let me guide you
Take my hand to lead you home

Take my hand when you are worried
Take my hand to lead you home
Take my hand and let me guide you
Take my hand to lead you home

Take my hand...



This is off of his latest album which was released in 2004.

I adore Ben Harper. *Burn To Shine* is one of the best albums I have ever heard!

[NaomiMcCartney]

I think it's extremly cool when Ben plays his uke. I bet George (Harrison) would of liked him if he heard him because he's Georges style of music in which he enjoyed listening to and playing to! :teeth1:

[FPSHOT]

I downloaded a CD of him with the Blind Boys From Alabama (if I get that name right) and that is awesome....also indeed some songs there with a dobro guitar which George would love..oh yes.

Whoa! I've never listened to Ben Harper before but I've just downloaded some songs from the one he did with the Blind Boys and it's superb. I'm going to buy this as soon as I get some cash.

[NaomiMcCartney]

How cool! I'm influencing others to listen to him! I feel so special! :angel4:
