Benji Hughes "Girl in the Tower"

[salamandermusik]

muy beatleezco.

very the-beatles-ish.



[MisterMannerisms]

If you like Benji, check out his duet with Meshell Ndegeocello on her latest release entitled, "Crazy and Wild" on the album "Weather"... It is quite evocative!

[Lucaforminds]

splendid mesmerizing song

[Dronelord27]

This is superb music. It sounds dramatic and has gravity, yet it isn't over dramatic and the lyrics are good and slightly humors. The change reminds me of The Beatles/The Eels. F'n tight, like a tiger!

[interpolluter29]

@Dronelord27 Benji Hughes is most definitely reminiscent of Eels...and Simple Kid, too.

[bkiknorite]

ooh, I'm so Indie for watching the video.

[dariuzzolo7]

[dariuzzolo7]

splendida splendida splendida splendida splendida splendida splendida splendida splendida splendida splendida splendida !!!

[Dianabel4Jesus]

"I had a dream last nightAbout when you were mine

The streets ran red with blood

It mixed into the mud

You were a chamber maid in Spain

The king grew fond of youConfined you to his room

I was a soldier then

I rallied many men

We stormed the castle just for you

Coming for you, ready or notNothing's gonna stop my sword from swinging through anyone between me and you

Coming for the girl in the towerFor the one who brings the king down to his kneesAnd drives me crazy with her mystical power

[s0urabh]

the instrumental track does have some similarities to 'something' by the beatles but the vocal track is unique and its an amazing and very original song in my opinion. makes me want drugs

[MsFenghua]

heard this song while watching matt dallas and jamie alexander... got hooked!

[MegaDefoo]

@MsFenghua exactley the same thing happened to me and i was looking for this song for sooo long

[dLibertine81]

whiter shade of pale somewhere

[peasncarrots001]

@dLibertine81 yes! I knew this song reminded me of something. A Whiter Shade of Pale.

[omarsleeze]

i always come back to this

[Spazzin550]

@omarsleeze

lol me too

[omarsleeze]

such a great song

[SuperMcRad]

Something in this song makes me think it borrowed from a certain Beatles song... Something... Something....

[katiakostroma]

I agree! I totally thought it was the Beatles, a song that I perhaps haven't heard or can't recognize. Before I found out that it was Benji, I was googling Beatles and Girl in the Tower!

[uburei]

think he got that beatle george zen thing on his voice this track track

[mecazoola]

charlotte music scene

lol

[hypnohush]

I like this song!

[fearthetube]

nice ELO vibe...like the song. the beginning was a little slow, but built the story up then totally took me for a ride. very cool

[Hyper1ink]

We stand now at the brink of destruction ... for the Lord of Chaos has come, at last.

[chaser2273]

totally under rated!

[icetruckprincess]

This song is AWESOME

[josefiep]

Love thing song!!

Wow!

[natereha]

This album is worth every penny...

[puddleboot]

That would have just been to bad to support the music you like.

[chasegieger]

Can anyone tell what the chord progression is in the second part of the song ? its beautiful

[davidhumerocks]

C, Emin/B, Amin, C7/Bb, F, D7/F#, G, G7

[thevulgars]

If this is the single, it's a bad pick. The song itself is good, but it's not single material. Every time I've played Tight Tee Shirt to someone, they've loved it. Same with You Stood Me Up. I would recommend one of those as the single. Possibly Baby It's Your Life. I think Benji Hughes is going to be big one day. I hope he is, as he's great.

[s0urabh]

why does everyone have to have a single? when an artist chooses a single theyre just saying their music is commercial.

[thevulgars]

That's not what an artist is saying at all. He wants to be successful, so he releases a single. I'm saying Benji Hughes could be huge in my opinion. I think he's so good that he doesn't deserve to toil in obscurity. Therefor, he needs a good single to get there, and this isn't it. Tight Tee Shirt is the way to go. You're probably one of those people who dislike a band because they're popular or because they got popular.

[technacolor]

my heart,

it stirred.

[zornfizza2]

that's the only time I've seen Benji w/out a beer .. I think there's a beer called Excalibur out there actually ..

[889KXLU]

Great voice. Love this song!

[grantboerner]

I dig.

[cbreez0101]

i can't believe Benji died!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!

[jnburch]

he's not dead

[chriswad]

I listen to this song at least 12 times a day.

[moondrums]

I had no idea Benji could move like that.

It's almost like he is an athlete in this video.

But Ive always liked his lyrics.

Cool Video.
