1. Infatuation. Can't you see how badly I want you?
2. Remembering. Lingering feelings. Lost
3. Alone. Comfort in sadness. For you
4. It's over. A fantasy. Are we or aren't we?
5. Desire. Distance. I'm all in
6. Endings and beginnings. A goodbye. You've transformed me
Deluxe Editions of my last 5 albums are now available in the "Members" section. They are loaded with tons of B-Sides, Demos, and Alternate Takes spanning the last 10 years. I had a lot of fun putting these together and reminiscing. I think fans will find that this is an amazing window into my songwriting process. I'm making the B-Sides available under a Creative Commons license, meaning the songs may be shared or sampled as long as credit is given. More details on that are in the "Members" section.
The Deluxe Editions are free to listen to and you may also download them for any price you choose.
Not a Member? No problem, it's easy to sign up from the front page of the site.
Thanks for all the support and being part of this journey!

No end to this darkness ALBUM: BEN MYERS – ‘The Dark Heart Age’ (LP)
by Walter Price
What’s eating at Ben Myers? His latest release, ‘ The Dark Heart Age’, is a 12-track collection moving in and out of reminiscent conversations, promises, pleas, and lovelorn sentiments. Resulting in the vibe, for the most part, lingering in the darkness, with fleeting moments of abstract positivity. A voyeuristic experience into a talented songwriter’s heartbreaking and complicated memories.
With all its beautiful piano and guitar arrangements covering a nice swathe of genres and Myers’ emotional words laying on the thick anguish, love, and longing. This album seemingly would better fit a Fall or Winter release/listen. Lest you forget, Summer has its rainy days as well.
If you’re moved by Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith and/or Sufjan Stevens, this album will slide nicely into your downloads.
My 3 year project, "The Dark Heart Age" arrives on March 7th. Hear the new single, the title track, on my site. If you like the artwork I also have a t-shirt available in the store.
Cheers!

I am working on a follow-up album to Portrait. I have 10 new demos put together and excited to let you guys hear them. I'm probably going to give myself some time to write a few more songs before I start recording the actual album. Keep an eye on my twitter as I post new info about the project and will likely release new material in the coming months.
Hope all is well. Cheers!
Ben
