Ben Street “Weak Man Weak Heart”

Introspective melodic ode brewing in a warm-hearted guitaristic entrancement; the love that holds life together tells its own story. Tackling death and love, Ben Street brings forth his second single ever released, “Weak Man Weak Heart,” humbly tackling the meaning of life, shedding light on the hope and pain that makes up our existence.

Street’s storytelling guitar work feels like a world of its own. It certainly plays a crucial part in his music. Instead of a simple, reoccurring motif that maybe used as a backdrop to accompany their singing, Street’s guitar is the heart and soul of his storytelling. It’s constantly evolving, diving deeper into the subject, drawing listeners to the emotional and contemplative quest, weaving into the smooth vocal and completing a powerful, anthemic delivery.

Ben Street’s guitar playing is a highlight in his music. They are melodically intriguing and emotionally engaging. Electric guitar certainly gives Street the liberty to freely compose and imagine sounds and soundscapes. As an artist, Street isn’t overambitious or greedy. There’s no thrill-seeking fast movement in his music that puts his storytelling at risk. On the contrary, he approaches each timbre with grace and respect.

With each of the sound and mood, he sits with it and fully immerses into the atmosphere, the texture, and the color, then it becomes an inseparable part of the song he writes. It seems to be the reason why his music is so rich and deep. The sound reflects that thoughtful process. It draws you in and the more you listen to it, the more you could taste the complexity.
