This is a very pretty song, I like it. I would like to see the rest of the lyrics however, so if you could add those too, that would be very nice. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

I really like this, the track has a lot of emotion in it. The recording is excellent, and the instruments well played.
What I like is how the voice, which is unique in sound, combines with the instruments, and produces this beautiful song. The track would be ideal for a TV or film score.

Hi Ben, wow, emotionaly your music blew me away, the lyrics were very good, great structure and I wanted to hear more. Now, I am reviewing what I heard, you decided to sing, got to say your voice has a certain quality but I feel it did not do your song justice. I would love to hear this song sung with a powerful trained voice ( with respect) it would add the last piece to a wonderful song. Great job, regards Coutta

I like it. It has a classical feel to it. You voice is lovely, I might add. But, It's had to hear your voice. But, It's great!

I thought that the voice was a bit quiet and the song overall was very schmultzy. Your voice sounds good from what I can hear though, a bit like the guy from Depeche Mode's voice [in that it's quite deep]. A bit classical - the whole song is actually. I don't know. 4 stars is about right, I think.

You're right, very Groban-like. And as I really like Groban, you are also a very good singer. Not something I would listen to every single day, but still a very nice song. Good luck with the album!

Bio
A man with a dream for as long as he can remember. That dream came true in February 2004, when he was afforded the opportunity to record his first album. He came from humble beginnings, and had to fight his way open in life. Music has always carried him through in the bad times. Born in 1973 in South Africa, he was raised as part of a broken home, and has experienced many heartaches and heartbreaks in his life. His passion for music kept him going strong, until he discovered his talent for songwriting. Coupled with ambition and a will to succeed, he went ahead and, against all odds, created what has been hailed as a masterpiece in South African music. He is not done yet, his Debut album, Guiding Light, was released in South Africa on February 12, 2005, and is making serious headway in the music world locally. He has set his aim higher, and is now attempting to take on the highly competitive International market. His primary influence is the constant search for that ever elusive love, and most of the lyrics he writes are more a deep sense of longing for love than a testimonial of a love so pure and true
