    When Monica starts to sing, it makes me ache. Sometimes I feel like my exterior, my body, my skin -I feel like it’s a cage. But on the inside, beyond my bones, I feel like there’s a frenzied, hungry bird that’s pecking at my insides, crying and trying to rip its way out from this cage. I want my life to change. I want to go on an adventure. I want to travel so I can feel things and change and grow. Thank you, Ben, for making my wanderlust burst through my veins.

    This EP is what sets him apart from most of the artists these days...the fact that he can go in such a different direction and still maintain the emotion connection his songs have is truly amazing. This is a much more mature sound than his previous album and hopefully it is only a glimpse of greater things to come.

    With brown eyes shining, a sure light on a way to go
    And the sun chides you're reeling home, against your glow
    And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
    And your eyes screamed it, Burgh Island, in sepia tones
    And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
    That you're the best woman I ever known
    With brown eyes shining, a sure line on a way to go
    And the sun chides you so long
    And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
    And we'll break for it, on Burgh Island in sepia tones
    And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
    That you're the best woman I have ever known
    Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
    'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
    The wind blew in
