    I so love when I find an artist as brilliant as Benjamin Clementine after he's been on the scene for a couple of years so that I can be reminded of how vast the world is and how very little of it I discover. Finding this artist is a real high point.

      Oh yes, I know Aurora's. Such a beautiful and ethereal artist! I think my favourite tune by her is Running with the Wolves, followed by Runaway. I've been surprised she hasn't become more of a global phenomenon, but in a way I'm glad she hasn't. With success seems to come the pressure for more success which often seems to erode the quality of an artist's work. Anyway, Lukas, thank you for the recommendation!

    Life can be very cruel, we are not all born to be happy, and life really hurt this man, he could have chosen another path but he chose this one and he was lucky that someone gave him an opportunity and he chose to take it... What we achieved creating can be so cruel but so magnificent, I just want you to know Benjamin that I appreciate how you make me feel, be happy in the rest of your life, remember not everyone has that opportunity...

    The eyes of this "man" are not in this world .. The view is somewhere far away, probably in another dimension .. All that we can observe "here" is the truly amazing timbre of the voice and the sincerity of the song itself, it really was forged in the soul of this guy , Honestly I had a tear while I listened to it, it's a sign of real music, that's all..

    I swear, you've seen me
    You've seen me here before
    And so don't tell it, don't tell it otherwise
    This voice, this particular voice
    Yes you've heard it before, before
    And so don't you dare tell it, don't you dare tell it otherwise
    No wonder, why the road seems so long
    'Cause I had done it all before
    And I won
    You felt this feeling, tell me don't be ashamed
    You felt it before, before
    And so don't tell me
    Don't tell me otherwise
    I almost forgot, foolish me I almost forgot
    Where I am from we see the rain before the rain even starts to rain
    No wonder why you've been buggering me
    This walk is a previous journey
    And I won
    Before I was born there was a storm
    Before that storm there was fire
    Burning everywhere
    And everything became nothing again
    And then out of nothing
    Out of absolutely nothing I Benjamin, I was born
    So that when I become someone one day
    I will always remember that I came from nothing
    No wonder, why you've been buggering me
    This walk, it's a previous journey
    And no wonder why the road seem so long
    'Cause I had done it all before
    And I won
    Am sending my condolence
    Am sending my condolence to fear
    Am sending my condolence
    Am sending my condolence to insecurities
    You should know by now
    You should know by now
    That I just don't care
    For what you might say
    Might bring someone downhill
    Am sending my condolence
    To fear
    Am sending my condolence
    To insecurities

    Benjamin, you are a fresh voice that offers sincerity, child-like wonder, and authenticity to our world we all, so desperately, need now. Your latest album, which I appreciate, is breaking some musical expression boundaries and represents clear proof that your musical imagination goes well beyond what the majority of us is willing to commit to daily: our emotional and intellectual cooperation, quite naturally, requires some level of residual comfort, not easily obtained nowadays. At least for me and at least for now, your "At Least For Now" album is my daily mind meal to keep me sane while working from home. Thank you, Benjamin. I/we need you exactly as you are. Keep creating, keep healing. Much love, Son...
