Benjamin Lemons

Beginning with bright piano and a fuzzy guitar, this piece has a groovy drum beat, cloudy vocals, and a stunning moment with a violin before the string quartet arrives to help wind the piece toward its close. A classical piano piece can be found at the end. 

The title track for this album by Last Flowers is a romantic appeal driven by acoustic and electric guitar. Not to worry though, for the piano sings along with the guitar in a dance surrounding the vocals longing for just one thing, Love. 

Not country, but "western" is  a great theme to describe Leave It All Behind. A simple beat joined by heavily distorted guitar leaves a juxtaposition that is made complete by a ripping harmonica, and harmonic vocals. 

All aboard! Jump on the train led by piano, but not complete without a jazzy brass section! A modern piece, with elements taken from another time,  gives the feel of a genuine ride along the tracks. If you listen close, you can hear the steam for yourself. 

Inspired by a moving movie starring Jim Carrey, this hauntingly beautiful piano song is wonderfully unique in its orchestration. The vocals immerse the listener in a wall of sound, but at the front is a simple flute. 

"Leave your judgments at the door. You have seen me once before." This piano song is simple, but  becomes harmonically complex in its accompaniment climax. Building to the end is a journey of honest, revealing lyrics. 

"Black and White" is a fan favorite. The title describes the piano keys that often share the melody in an act of emotional support. The drums hold the emotion at bay until the electric guitar seethes indignantly before the final chorus. 

Clearly, this piece is the most rocking and intense. The introduction is a tsunami of electricity all coming from a guitar amplifier. Often compared to Radiohead, The Beatles are also evoked as an inspirational source to this psychedelic soundscape.
