I had a lot of fun recording this one - Acoustic version of W.A.S.P. - Wild Child from their album The Last Command cover by Ben Owen. For regular updates, head over to my Instagram - / benjammin_
I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain A creature of love and I can't be tamed I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from him And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin No, he'll never ever touch you like I do So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I want you Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him when you Run away 'cause I wanna know Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find That you run to me when he lets you go 'Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire So - come turn me on and turn the flames up higher I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me Cause I want what you do I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me Cause I want what you do I want you A naked heat machine, I want your love When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I want you
This cover is amazing. So good. You got the essence of the song with a beautiful voice and guitars perfectly done. Not to munch or less. This is really genius.
Douglas (from W.A.S.P.) had the good idea to notice your Wild Child cover on his Facebook. Bravo for your successful work !!! This acoustic cover is... delicious to our ears !!!
Oh my gosh!!! Really fantastic rendition. Totally dig how you got those sentiments from the original and turned them to something really special acoustically! Wow!
I literally collided with you here. My hope for you is that you are still creating. Perfecting your craft. What an AMAZING vocalist you were 2 years ago. I can not imagine where you arrived to! Being a creative artist individual myself via poetry writer & a dancer I appreciate real raw unhinged talent & to me you are the flame. The fire. With the light that shines so very brightly. I HEARD you but more importantly I FEEL you & that is the difference with me. Your passion is clearly unquenchable as well as intoxicatingly beautiful. I am someone who has always seen far beyond the normal observation & I see that there is more to you to this than most would never see. You are captivating. What a gift you are to this world. Never let your music die inside you. Never sell yourself out. Be the original you always. Stay true to yourself. No matter what. And remember its all about commitment bcuz if you are 99% IN you are 100% out. May love & White Light Surround You & Empower You Until Nevermore. Enuff Said. April
Thank you for that beautiful comment April, it really warms me. I’m creating new music, writing and recording and I’ll be sharing my new songs here in the new year! Hope you get a chance to listen. Thank you for your good energy ✨❤️ Ben
💚 Your Welcome! ⚡️ I will be following you. Wherever you go within your creative element. You impacted me with your art & trust me when I say that I DO NOT impact easily. I can not wait for your new music & where you take this. When we push ourselves to our limits creatively incredible things absolutely happen but when we push ourselves beyond those limits & we blur our own lines that is where the real beauty comes into light through our art. May the stars always shine bright for you Ben. You truely are one in a million. April

BEN YOU MADE MY NIGHT WITH THIS METAL CLASSIC! I ALWAYS LOVE HEARING ACOUSTIC VERSION COVERS OF METAL BALLADS ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE SO WELL DONE AS YOU HAVE DONE THIS ONE!KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK PLEASE!!
Dude you’re awesome! For all the work and for all the balls to carry this out with conviction and confidence. So glad the youth carry on the tradition and see it’s value . Some things are timeless.
Great cover, Ben, congrats! I am listening to this song on repeat and was looking for some covers and yours stood out, tasteful playing and soulful singing!
I'm from Brazil and, even though it's 2024, I'm in love with this music. This version was exceptionally wonderful!!
Highly underrated love song - killer version!!
This is so badass, rare to see some WASP love
AWESOME
Шикарно! Самое достойное исполнение. Гитара звучит прекрасно. Спасибо автору за профессионализм! 😊👍
My favorite thing about CZcams is finding scrawny little white guys with such soulful voices. You take the cake man! This is fucking phenomenal!
I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain
A creature of love and I can't be tamed
I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from him
And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin
No, he'll never ever touch you like I do
So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I want you
Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him when you
Run away 'cause I wanna know
Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you go
'Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire
So - come turn me on and turn the flames up higher
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do
I want you
A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I want you

WOW this is awesome. WASP is one my favorite bands and you never see anyone covering them. Props dude!
There's something to be said about getting up from your bed, sans breakfast and all, and belting out this song like this guy did!
Man! As a fan of W.A.S.P since the late 80's I can tell you that you really nailed it...YOU SOUND GREAT! ImI
Keep on rockin'!
