I'm just starting to get into him, but Ben Harper is one talented mother-fucker, both musically & lyrically...anyone else agree?

Faded

You so easily amuse
like a pantomime
such a silent crime

You so easily abuse
lack of confidence
it's your best offense

You so easily confuse
you can't deny it
still you try to hide it

Faded
so faded
like a memory gone
there's no recollection
Faded
so faded
like a forgotten dream
further than it seems

You so hastily defy
when you think you need it
you find a way to bleed it

You so hastily deny
pleading innocence
it's your best defense

You so hastily reply
the moment that you said it
already regret it

Faded
so faded
like a memory gone
there's no recollection
Faded
so faded
like a forgotten dream
further than it seems

Ben Harper has some amazing ability. A friend turned me onto him a while back and it's some great stuff.

Burn To Shine


We made love until we cried
And cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realise our hearts were struck with fear
How in just a moments time
Could one see for ever after
I gently lie beside of you
And dream away with my tears

Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine

Funny things you learn from your mama
Like the way you throw your head back when swallowing pills
Funny things you learn from your papa
like when you're talking you just can't keep your hands still
But that was now and this is then
It never lasts for long
How I miss the good old days but I'm so glad they're gone

Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine

I'd like to spend the time that you would like to spend with me
So you could help me out with my dependancy
'Cause I'm hoplessly
addicted addicted to your sorrow
Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrow

Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine

BURN ONE DOWN



Let us burn one
from end to end
and pass it over
to me my friend
burn it long, we'll burn it slow
to light me up before I go

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down
my choice is what I choose to do
and if I'm causing no harm
it shouldn't bother you
your choice is who you choose to bo
and if you're causin' no harm
then you're alright with me

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down

herb the gift from the earth
and what's from the earth
is of the greatest worth
so before you knock it try it first
you'll see it's a blessing
and not a curse

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one down

I saw him open up for the Allman Brothers @ PNC two or three years ago. He didn't really do anything for me, but that was a while ago, so I have no real opinion.

I've seen him open for Pearl Jam twice and I really didn't care for him. And Mudhoney left the tour the day before the second time :P
