HI. We're Brian Mauer and Ben Verson. We've been writing, recording and performing music for over 35 years together. What do we call it? HMMMMMMMMMM, we're not sure. We incorporate any and all styles. We hope you will find that we have succeeded in homogenizing a unique style. Influences range from classic rock (Beatles, Who, Zeppelin) to Folk, slip in a bit of bluegrass, and an equal amount of metal, and you get...Something, without a name.

Story behind the song

This song comes right after the car crash, and is the realization that they all are dead

Lyrics

Me upon the road again 
Without a thought or care
Recklessly assuming risk 
As if it were a dare.

So I navigate this beast of steel 
Along this road of tears
Light diffusing lives we’re losing, 
Lost among the gears.

(Chorus)	
But it didn’t hurt a bit. 
No, there wasn’t any pain
Oh Lord it happened so fast.
Don’t try to find a reason; 
There is death in every season
This is the first moment after my last…
After my last.

The headlights streaming video 
Against a blackened sky
And Johnny Mayer playing loud 
And asking Georgia why?

I felt the crush upon my chest, 
But it didn’t linger long
The instant peace it was a test, 
And ended Mayer’s song.

(Chorus) 	
I'm not as sad as all the rest
For me, I believe it was all for the best
I have ceased to be I need the rest
Lately my life's been such a mess

Cause my wife she left me long ago
And then she said, “I told you so”
And no one knows the pain I’ve earned
An eternity to churn and burn

It was over long before today
Can't find a reason why I should stay
Most will curse but some of you will pray
Cause' now I am free to find my way...

(chorus)
