Tod Benjamin: Shooting Star [CD]

On Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing (2022), Tod incorporates seminal moments from his hard-fought journey into 10 bare, honest songs that strike a powerful punch. While written over various time periods, the confessional, intimate tracks were recorded in just six hours. Tod is ready to share these songs now with fans and the larger music community. While Glory centered on Tod’s experiences with addiction, sobriety and redemption, Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing finds him learning to live with the moments of stillness, after a lifetime of constant motion.

Solo album from Benjamin Tod of Lost Dog Street Band. Grief, sorrow, loss and shame. Of the album, Tod says, "First of all I’d like to thank everyone who made this album possible. I am incredibly grateful to have so many people care about the art I create. I know hundreds of artists far better than me who struggle to eat because this is an unforgiving world. I am one of the lucky few thanks to you. Cheers. This album was recorded live with two mics and no over dubs. I’d say most of these recordings are the first take as well. This is a collection of my most personal songs arranged like a long journal entry. A lot of these are very hard to sing and some of them I will choose to never sing again. This may be the only album of its kind I ever create… Or at least I hope."
