Hi, and thanks for visiting our blog. Today, we shed light on Ben Drysdale, an Australian artist. With the release of his highly anticipated sophomore song, “Listen Now,” on June 21st, Canberra-based Indie Folk Singer/Songwriter Ben Drysdale is set to enthrall listeners once again, following the global success of his debut solo single, “If I Don’t Lie Down,” in December. Let’s discuss the music in greater detail.
The song begins with these magical piano sounds, so fantastic that it’ll make the hairs on your skin stand up. Then Ben begins this heartfelt performance.
Ben’s poignant ballad, ‘Listen Now” is a heartfelt tale about supporting a friend through alcoholism and dire mental health challenges. Inspired by a midnight call from a friend drunk off whiskey and with a head full of despair, (” Listen now before you sleep”)who soon revealed that he had recently tried to take his own life, (“let me help you before you slip away into the dark”). He comforts his friend and talks him off the ledge (“it’s going to be alright”)Ben’s heartfelt narrative reflects the power of listening and empathy in times of crisis.
At the core of this song is piano sounds and at the forefront of it all is Ben’s fantastic and soothing voice. He is passionate and tender at the same time and you feel like you’re right there with him as he pours his heart out to his friend.
“Listen Now” is not just a song. It is a heartfelt conversation between friends and even though it is a one-sided conversation you can feel the emotions and the message conveyed in the song. Ben is not just making music, he’s reaching out to anyone who has lost all hope and wants to end it all. This will extend a helpful hand to people who are in pain is why his music will resonate with anyone who listens. He makes you feel seen and he will go far in the music industry.
