Title: Ben Jelen!
Post by: Manda on December 22, 2003, 05:06:33 pm
You have to check out Ben Jelen.
He's an amazing new artist, Michelle, told me about him, I just joined his website and I'd like you guys/gals to also do the same thing, It would be really wonderful and beneficial to you and Ben Jelen.

You really must check out his single, its really new, "come on" his cd comes out on March 9, 2004.
 :wink:
Hopefully there isn't already a thread about this, if there is, I'm sorry.

I hate using the "search" button, not my thing.

Thanks,
Amanda-Lynette :razz:

he's good! I'm impressed.
You can stream the video from the website:

It would be helpful to the both of us.
Thank you Kevin for checking him out. I really appreciate it.

I think that Vanessa kind of lead the way for piano players right now in the music industry. She was not really the "first" because Tori Amos is an oldie who plays the piano, but Nessa, when she came out all these other people did, or are doing so now.

Its great.

I love the piano, I really do, its soothing and beautiful.

Title: Ben Jelen
Post by: Scotty on January 10, 2004, 03:47:52 pm
Come on
And finally the silence,
looking out, looking back across the sky,
Trying to find a meaning,
knowing that I just left it all behind
Still I smell a lingering softness
Where did she go, how did she go, I wanna know
I wanna know that she'll be coming here to me
Come on, without you I'll never feel the love inside
of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on
Thinking back before her,
I never knew the meaning of alone
Still the flag is feeling foreign,
I live the day to escape into a phone
Speaking of a world not real then
where did she go how did she go, I wanna know
I wanna know that she'll be coming here to me
Come on...
She's coming, She's coming here to me, I'm needing,
desiring to kiss her now, I'm living for her,
breathing for her, singing for her fairytale.

She'll Hear You (by ben jelen AND Zack Halbrecht)

The years flash by, today melts to yesterdays memories,
Time's holding us tight
I'm looking back to remember the days we said we'd never say goodbye.

And now you're gone, my hands melt to yesterday's melodies
time's pushing along,
still looking back to hold on to the days we said we'd never say goodbye.

Sometimes I feel like we've been running too far from the truth
You know I'm tired of hearing 'another day another time'
all this senseless waiting won't fill these dark empty rooms,
why won't you come home?

I wish, I feel, I can't believe I've seen these nights
pass by, those hands, what happened to those eyes, my
eyes seduced by that smile that crumbles away, washes
away those tears, let tears roll by, she'll hear you
cry, yeah she'll hear you.

sometimes I feel...
you know I hate to say it, but since you've gone I know that

even though I'm feeling low, I guess I'm feeling free.
We can live our own existence 'cause I know these
dreams will bring you back to me.

I'm dreaming a world with you, I wish the night was longer
I'm chasing the way we were, I wish that I could catch us.
I'm feeling your hand in mine, I wish I'd held it closer
I know that I will soon find, I know that she can hear me say

She'll hear you, these dreams will bring you back to me.

Give It All Away

Swinging round in circles, looking for the way,
Fleeing from the time when she wanted me to stay.
My world is swirling round, this time I know it well,
Our love is coming down again.

Then I realize inside me, I’ve had myself all wrong,
This time I know for certain, I’ve never been that strong
The moment you remember, those times you stop to think,
Our love will come undone again.

But with demons sitting at my side,
An angel’s come to ask me why
And slowly I give up inside to say
To feel alive, I’d give it all away

Destructive words to make it so, but none of this is you you know

Another year, another week, another set of summer sheets
Another ‘we should hang out again soon’
Another drink, another kiss

And with demons sitting at my side,
Another angel asks me why
And it doesn’t take too much to say
To feel alive, I’d give it all away

Again, and again and again

Then she’s sitting at my side
An angel’s come to ask me why
And it takes nothing to say
To feel alive, I’ll give it all away.

Rocks

Strokes of dark, a brush of light,
I watch you bring your canvas into light.
oh I know thats how you see the world,
I know that you see anything you like.
But now I'm doubting me,
I know I shouldn't be but
I've been down, I've been down

Cause it was love wasn't it?
Well its killing me not having it.
Its hard to not remeber,
forget its not the same,
when still you come and tell me
'sorry I came without an invitation-just wanted to be loved.'

The last perfect thing,
you know that you bring me back to life.
On and on and on and on,
I think about you all day long,
I need you to be stronger.
cause now I'm doubting me -
I know I shouldn't be but
I've been down, I've been down

cause it was love...

yeah, I hear the sound,
and I know that you'll be
coming round - you know I'll wait for you.

oh love, its killing me not having it.
I need you to
be stronger, don't wanna hear the sound,
'cause rocks upoun my window mean that you're coming round.
And how could I resist when I think you're still in love.
How can I move on when I wanna be in love with you.

Its almost impossible not to like Ben.. he's talented, as down to earth as it gets, and has a quite scrumptous accent ;)

You may have heard "come on" from AOL or seen him perform on MTV for the first time, but if you haven't, i really suggest you check him out,

Ben plays Piano, Violin, and Guitar, and posts on his message boards regularly, so thats kinda nice, and gives you a reason to check out his site =) www.benjelen.com

on his site theres a media player where you can hear some of his songs that will be on "Give it All Away" his debut album that debuts in late March.

LOL...I just got home

The show was incredible!

My friend Rene and I were the first ones in line (cause we're dorks like that). At like 6:45, Ben came off the escalator. It seemed like a few people noticed it was him, but not many. I said hi and he smiled at me. *insert fan girl moment* After that, who should show up but Tyler Hilton. Rene and I were both like "Was that Tyler Hilton?!?!?" By the time we realized it, he was gone. LOL Right around 7, we were all invited in. The meet and greet was done right away. Since Rene and I were first, we just took pics...we had nothing for him to sign until after they gave us CD samplers which was after we were done. So anyway, we sat down and goofed off for a little while and then noticed that Tyler Hilton had come back in. We decided to go "get some water" *cough*MeetTyler*cough* and we somehow ended up talking to Tyler as he was leaving for his soundcheck. We went back in the room thing and sat down.

Ben opened with "Give It All Way". He then played "She'll Hear You" followed by "Come On". The last two songs were done on guitar: "Free She'll Be" and "Setting of the Sun". It was amazing how incredible his voice sounded. I'm sure we've all been to shows where the singer sounds like total crap and you can tell they've edited the voice for the album. Not so with Ben. His voice was beautiful and flawless. He is so sweet and unassuming. I can only hope he keeps his wonderful attitude in the future when everyone starts screaming his name.

Thank you to Ben and Maverick for giving us the opportunity to see such an amazing show!

I had a Ben-related blonde moment yesterday!

I have some left over birthday, so yesterday, I thought I should spend it, so I told my mom I wanted to go get a CD. She can't, so I go with my dad after visiting my Grandma in the hospital. We go to the hospital and I'm looking for the CD I want : Ben Jelen - Give It All Away. "It came out March 14th, dad, I don't know why they don't have it. Best Buy normally have new CDs!" I go home, go to benjelen.com..... March 30th...

Thought I'd share. :)

Well, I asked Rocks a few days ago about them, cuz I had emailed him about...a week or so ago w/no response so finally I got an email back 2 days ago saying he sent them, and I got them today.  It's kind of my fault, but I had no way of knowing if they'd be here on time or not... and being sick- I guess I couldn't have gotten there neway.

Yeah but it sucks they're going to waste, no one can use them now :?

They're just gonna go in my scrapbook I suppose

hey, i have a question -- for anyone who's part of the street team, rocks recently sent out an email saying that you can buy his cd, with his autograph, with stickers, as a pack online. I want to get this, but mom won't pay for anything online by credit card, and they won't let us pay by money order. SO, i was wondering if someone could order this for me and then i could send you the money? :-/ just wondering.....

I was bummed. I was planning on getting some money for Easter to buy it! But today, I found out that I tied for 1st place in the NCAA Bracket thing. If you split it, I end up with about $40, which should be enough to buy the CD. I might also buy Ursh's new cd.

I went to the Sam Goody thing last night cause Jessica invited me and told me about it! Thanks Jess!
Due to work and family friends being over I wasn't able to get there until 7pm (right when it was supposed to start). I went to buy the CD and get a wristband and while waiting in line some guy tapped me on the shoulder and walked by saying "Good choice!". I'm a new fan... and at that point I only had a lil idea of what Ben Jelen looked like. So I wondered if it was, but Jessica told me it was just his bass player (who is really hot btw!). I got the CD and then went out and met up with Jessica and Stephanie for the concert. He was really incredible! I was blown away! His songs as so beautiful and he delivers them which such passion! And he is SO talented! He played the piano, guitar and violin all perfectly! I was hooked last night! haha. Then we got in line to meet him. He was really sweet! I got my CD cover signed. I told him my friend recrutted me to come, and he definitely made a new fan that night! He smiled and was like "aw! thanks!"  :D
Pictures to come soon! Just gotta get them uploaded! but i'll only be able to post links since the picture system changed and my host program doesnt give me links in the right format  :(

teehee I just joined the Ben Jelen forums today (as Gina already noticed :P)

His music is growing so much on me, I <3 it. Right now my favourite is Christine,- I can't stop listening to it! - closely followed by She'll Hear You.

So what do you actually have to do to become a Jelenbean?  :?:

Post by: Jophess on April 17, 2004, 06:16:54 pm
Mine is "Give It All Away". The piano after the drum breaks in is uber-catchy. I forget what it's called, but number 8 sounds like the Crank Yanker theme song. I think it's 8....

You just have to ask someone, Rachel made mine (Leikela) you can email her or somethin, she's nice, I'm sure she'd do it for ya ricardo_is_mine@yahoo.ca

Also... you have to check and make sure the name of the jelenbean that you wanna be isn't already taken from this list http://www.freewebs.com/rae/jbeanlist.htm

I heard that one song, Come On, I think it's called. Eh. It was okay; the piano was a little bit Sims-like, you know? It wasn't good for whatever style he was going for, I don't think. I'm pretty sure I thought the lyrics were queer, too. Hold on.

. . .

I don't remember if I did or not. :\ But, since we are CERTAINLY on the subject, I just want everyone to know that I just realized 'The Scientist' by Coldplay is one of the greatest songs in the history of the universe.

I checked out Northern Light's webpage, and they don't have tickets up for sale yet.

i know what you mean! I'm hoping that dad says he'll take us, I'll call him on Monday (he's gone for the weekend) and see what he says!

And they only had 2 copies left! My friend said that they were getting 12 on Thursday (today) so his albums are selling out fast!

It was so funny. When I went to buy the album one of the other guy workers were there also & looked to see what album I got & the ladie was like "yeah he's supposed to be pretty good, Ben Jelen" & the guy was all "jelen like a felen" then to me "are you jelen like a felen" lmao I was all "yup" & started cracking up, lol

lol no worries! I'm pretty sure i was one of the first 10 since i pretty much recieved it right after she sent the emails - but there is a chance that i wasn't. even so, tickets are only 10$ so that's not a lot of money anyways. I'm more concerned with the passes :-P

I was just looking through Teen Vogue article, in which he discusses the similarity between him and Nessa I copied it up for you guys if you wanna read:

"Ben Jelen wants to be sure to distinguish himself as a singer-songwriter when his album, Give It All Away, come out on Maverick this month. "They want me to be like the male Vanessa Carlton," the 24-year-old says of his handlers. "They need a gimmick for it to make sense to them, so they're like, 'Ben, Piano Boy!' And I'm like, 'But guys I also play guitar and violin.'" He may have worked with producers-du-jour The Matrix and hung out with label Alanis Morisette, but Ben claims his life hasn't that much. And despite having the requiste rocker crush on Winona Ryder, Ben says that he's single and open to finding love. "I really love being close to someone," he says, and then reveals an ulterior motive. "There's always plenty to write about in those situations."

Are you serious?!

Well I think mine was just sent like right before I got it... so I'm gunna keep my fingers crossed because if you can definately go you have to respond to the email- so maybe someone won't.  I would just send her an email again saying if someone can't go you definately can

Thanks Holly!

Ok, so here's how we got the tickets and passes: we're part of the streat team, and the girl who runs it, rocks, sent out an email to everyone who's part of the streat team about three concerts (the norther lights one, and two others, i think connecticut and one other one) and if you were one of the first 10 people to respond  you got free tickets and passes.

i don't know if she's going to do that for any other ones though - but she might!

Boston is the other one.  I'm not sure either if she'll do it for all the shows, but from getting to know what rocks is like... she probably will do it for all of the shows  :wink:  We'll fill u in if we hear anything

rocks will do whatever she can to hook up as many fans as possible.

I've met her a couple of times.  We talk on AIM alot.  She's uber cool and wants nothing more than for all the fans to get hooked up.

She is limited by her employers (Maverick) though, so you do have to be understanding with her.
Title: Ben Jelen
Post by: Gina on May 05, 2004, 11:07:11 am
Yes, what Tricia said.  If she should she'd hook all the great fans that help promote n things up but she can't but she does a great job with always coming through for atleast a bunch of lucky fans :)

Yeah if rocks does, do you think you could let me know please? Anywhere in Southern Cali I could see him, preferably San Diego or somewhere close to there!

OMG SO GOOOOOOOOD! i can't believe it! aaaah! freaking best night ever!

there weren't many people there, like 50 or so, so we were all up close to the stage! He was so good, he was sick though and was going to cancel but decided not too. He sounded pretty kick ass if i do say so myself for being sick! Aaaaah i keep thinking about it and being all happy :-P anyways i brought my recorder and got about 98% of the show taped, it cut out after the beginning of Come On, and then i didn't notice it stopped until the first part of Let It Be was done, but i switched the side so i got the other half of it taped.

He came out and sang "Stay" and "Wicked Little Town" on the piano, and then he played "Setting Sun" on the guitar and the violin at the very end. which by the way his violin is waaaayyy cool. Then he played "Revolution" which was awesome too! He went back to the piano and played "Give It All Away", "Falling Down" to which Gina screamed loudly too :-P "Come On", "Let It Be" which was amaaaazing and then "Criminal" which made me happy cuz that's what i put on my tshirt :-D

then he went off stage and the guy was like "are there any jelenbeans in the audience?" and he did a contest for the person with the most creative jelenbean name to get to announce Ben back on to stage to do an encore  and we were all pointing to Gina, but some mom got it cuz it was mother's day. He came back out and played "Christine" and then added in "Slow Down" because his voice was feeling better, then played "She'll Hear You" which was awesome, and then "Rocks"!

It was so freaking awesome! we got to meet him afterwards! everyone rushed in line so we hung out till we were about the last ones in line (there were a few people behind us) so we could have more time to talk to him and stuff :-P

He was very impressed with Gina's jelenbean name, had a moment with her and called her beautiful, and then he signed stuff for me and we got a pic and i was like "wow you're like five feet taller than me" and i looked up  and he was all smiling and laughing and i was all *melt* so i had a moment with him....aaaah so freaking awesome.

yeah so it was a kick ass night. Got two and a half hours of sleep, but hell it was so freaking worth it. :-D

i knooowww. the internet kinda killed his record sales since it was really only the hard core, or at least anti downloading, fans that bought his cd.

i think he's recording in georgia, that's what he said in his last post. i'm trying to do everything in my power to get down there for the show, but i don't think it's going to work out :-/

i knooowww. the internet kinda killed his record sales since it was really only the hard core, or at least anti downloading, fans that bought his cd.

it wasnt the net, the net was the only thing working FOR him.
There was zero publicity on the part of the record company. I never once saw the video on TV or heard anything about him in the mass media.

this is true. but most people i know just downloaded his songs instead of buying his cd.

but yeah, maverick did just about nothing to promote him. he was on TRL once, which is good, and i know Rocks does a lot on the website, but outside of that i haven't seen a whoole lot of promo on him. hopefully things will be different for the second album.

from the myspace group:

since he is in Georgia recording his sophomore album and harmonizing w/ a newer band


Did anybody else besides me find it funny that they would use the word harmonizing?

yes, I must be more obsessed with Nessa than I thought

And I was just wondering what happened to Ben Jelen... I was gonna bump this thread to, so that's good to hear.

Let's hope the second album gets more publicity, Ben's really talented and more ppl need to see that.  Stupid MAVERICK :?

For some odd reason I hated his voice when I first heard him but now im hooked!
I love his music, Ive been listening to his cd for a while now without actually seeing what he looked like until a few minutes ago when I googled him and holy hell hes GOREGEOUS   :oops:

Now I aspire to be Mrs Jelen lol, I know join the cue but ahh hes lovely.

I got his new "Rejected EP"! It's REALLY good! I was kinda surprised at how the main instrument seems to be guitar rather than piano though.
It has 5 songs:
Driver
Teenage Suburban Queen
Room 1023
Tell Me Everything
Baby Girl

I guess it's all the songs that were rejected by someone (Ben, Producer, etc), except for Baby Girl which is a new one (and my favorite!)
I think the songs are good... so if those are the rejected ones I cant wait to see which ones have made the album!

Here are the lyrics to "Baby Girl"! It's soooo pretty!
He wrote it shortly after his sister died  :cry:

"Baby girl it’s time for waking
For your love we’ve been aching
So open your eyes
Dawn is breaking
See the whole new world
That’s been waiting

And in your dreams
Be reborn
Look through your sleep
Free your soul

You’ll never be left alone
You’ll always be here at home
We’ll be holding you together
We’ll remember how you shown
You’ll soon be on your own way
You’ll rise to a fresh new day
When you run in fields of flowers
You’ll recall from where you came

Daddy’s girl
No more crying
In strong arms
You’ll be lying
Mother to the child
You’ll be shining
Newborn spark of light
Soon arriving

And in her dreams
Where they kiss
From all of us
Tell her this

You’ll never be left alone
You’ll always be here at home
We’ll be holding you together
We’ll remember how you shown
You’ll soon be on your own way
You’ll rise to a fresh new day
When you run in fields of flowers
You’ll recall from where you came

Believe in circles
Believe in grace
We’ll miss you daughter
Miss you sister
Miss you lover
Miss you friend

Baby girl
It’s time for waking
For your love
We’ve been aching
So open up your eyes
Dawn is breaking
See the whole new world
That’s been waiting"

yep, and the other person singing is Sebastian, his 13 year old brother, who has a woooonderful voice.

most of the songs ben wrote while on the road, so they pretty much had to be played on guitar, since you can't really fit a piano on a tour bus :-P

Do you know how old his sister was or what she died from? That's so sad!!

i think she was like 18 or something
and she died unexpectantly in her sleep, he said the doctors call it 'adult cot death' where you just die in your sleep for no reason... she was perfectly healthy.. she just went to sleep and never woke up.. strange huh?

that's so sad...a good friend of the family had their child die of sids, which is basically what she died of, only for babies.
