Ben Travis is a solo artist who writes all his own songs, as well as plays the piano, sings, produces, and engineers on his newest recordings. "My goal, " he says, "is to write music that will inspire people to think and ask meaningful questions about the world around them." His style is gentle, yet thoughtful, and his musicianship is high quality. Ben is currently working on an album called "All the Way Home" which he wrote while going through the process of watching his father die of cancer. He is also working on an album of trance music called "Miles Per Second" and a new instrumental album called "Leaving the Chrysalis." Ben has just finished an instrumental album which contains quiet, meditative piano music. These songs were played in moments of inspiration, and can be used for massage therapy, meditation, or just quiet background music. This album is set up to fit a 60-minute massage session perfectly. It is called "Mentored By Life, " and will be available in CD format soon.

Story behind the song
I remember writing this song not long before Dad passed away. He had to go into a nursing home at the very end, and he eventually got to the point where he was just lying there, sort of staring into space. I remember sitting beside his bed and writing the lyrics for this song.
Lyrics
Looking at you lying there I face my own mortality Looking out the window now I see the wind blow through the trees And I wonder... what it's like behind your eyes And I wonder... if part of you already died Thinking back to times we had It seems impossible to me That you could be the way you are A stranger to reality And I wonder... what it's like behind your eyes And I wonder... if part of you already died Looking at you lying there I face my own mortality Looking out the window now I see the wind blow through the trees And I wonder... what it's like behind your eyes And I wonder... if this is all there is to life And I wonder... what lies on the other side And I wonder... if part of you already died
