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

His brother DOES have a great voice!

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

I listened to Give it All Away last week... that's such a great CD.

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.
