Headed back to the west coast baby back to the bristlecone pine headed back to the great wide open to the place where my heart feels fine It takes a lot just to think about you and more to understand why Tracing steps from the night I met you to the day we said goodbye Can't shake the ghost that haunts my dreaming in the dark Can't stop my feet from wandering or snuffing out the spark There is a season for all things beneath the sun Can't tell if this one's ending or it's just begun You know they say where there is smoke then you will find fire will it be a celebration or a funeral pyre? It's never quite as simple as you first had perceived the smoke clears to show the truth and you had been deceived Can't shake the ghost that haunts my dreaming in the dark Can't stop my feet from wandering or snuffing out the spark There is a season for all things beneath the sun Can't tell if this one's ending or it's just begun Have I just begun, or have I come undone? Have I just begun, or have I come undone? Can't shake the ghost that haunts my dreaming in the dark Can't stop my feet from wandering or snuffing out the spark There is a season for all things beneath the sun Can't tell if this one's ending or it's just begun

Lead The Way 04:38
And you said you'd never leave us And that you would come back, so which is right? You said we shouldn't worry But I still get worried from time to time When those questions start to come In the middle of the night Like a candle burning bright Can I call you? Will you answer me in peals of thunder in the sky? Won't you tell me what to do? Cause the light is fading fast and I don't have a clue Won't you give me words to say? Everything that comes to mind is old and grey So lead the way You said if we want to live free We'll have to put to death all we know And you said if we want to find true life We'll have to trust you and let ours go Oh I thought I could hold on And still retain control I was a dead heart, I was alone But then I saw you And you quickened me And I knew then I'd found a home And you told me what to do Now your light will never fade and I'm found in you Give me strength to just obey And the faith to trust in every word you say You are the Way

Gotta get out of the city it’s eating us alive Don’t know where we’ll go Let’s take a drive Til we can’t see any buildings And we can’t hear any cars When the sun goes down We’ll count the stars They burn bright like you On that night I met you What was my heart to do When I knew I loved you? The years keep on moving And the past gets left behind Let’s enjoy right now if you don’t mind Forget about tomorrow it’s much too far away Turn some music on and let it play And I’ll dance with you Like that night I met you What’s my heart to do Knowing how I love you?

about

A native of Northeastern Wisconsin, Benjamin Krogh composes stories within songs that allow listeners to place themselves within the narratives he constructs. Currently based in Portland, Oregon, he has spent the last decade focused on translating life experiences into his songwriting, resulting in a span of work that is both accessible and mysterious; simple yet layered with complexities.

We find these same themes and details woven into to his latest album, Good Medicine. Recorded and mixed in isolation over the course of 2020, the album channels a hushed sense of reflection and vulnerability. As a whole, these 9 songs represent that transparent place: a year of pain and sorrow juxtaposed with new growth and healing. Gone are the large arrangements of 2018's Beck & Call: a full band is exchanged for drum machines and acoustic guitars. Good Medicine features additional instrumentation from Evan Way, Alex Chapman, and Charlie Morris.
