about

Shortly after a reunion with long-lost college comrades, one of them died quite suddenly. I was annoyed with myself that we had not been in touch for so long - we could always do that tomorrow, next week, next year. Wrong. If something is important, we shouldn't tuck it away on a list for someday.

Maybe it is as they say
Maybe it was his heart
Maybe it just stopped ticking in the end
Maybe he grew too old, too fast
And his body fell apart
One too many battles to defend

Maybe it is as they say
But I'm down a friend
Maybe it is as they say...
But I am down a friend

Maybe it is as they say
The strain was just too great
Maybe he saw it coming for a while
Maybe he know there's something wrong
And found it too late
Maybe he could not walk another mile

Maybe it is as they say
But I have my doubts
Maybe it is as they say
But I have got my doubts

Maybe he had a checkered past
That none of us ever knew
Maybe he takes his secret to the grave
Maybe he had a list of things
That someday he would do
Maybe that's not a list that should be saved

Maybe it is as they say
But I'm not convinced
Maybe it is as they say
But I am not convinced

Maybe it is as they say
I'm down a friend
Maybe it is as they say
But I am down...

Maybe that list should not be saved...

about

Ben Hunsberger Bowdoinham

layer fresh melodies with full-bodied undertones.
fold in a little nature and politics.
season with angst, humor, and a pinch of sarcasm.
serve with plenty of volume.
