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 is in memory of my boyhood friend Michael Botkin, who died in 1997 at the age of 39 of AIDS.
Lyrics
Call me home in every memory so fair. Empty faces wander through their empty paces there, traces there. Telephone another angel in the sky. All alone, my brother, with no answer, and the anger left to cry, left to cry. (Chorus 1) Till the morning, when I see the warming sun. Till the mourning, when the warning has been done. Fading in the distance, as the vision of you dies, Still I see you in the window in my eyes. Simple people, as they walk through simple lives. Carry crosses on their shoulders as a symbol he survives, He survives. Every instant, long forgotten, flickers wild. Captive minutes absolution comes upon and comforts every child, Every child. (Chorus 2) After everything is promised and released. After every king is crowned and then deceased. Every actor must appear in his disguise, Still I see you in the window in my eyes. (Bridge) If I ever go astray, Would you guide me? Would you hide me? If I confessed that I do pray, Am I crazy, or just lazy? Forgive me. I hear a voice that’s always better than my own. (I) Just rejoice upon the only childhood that I have ever known. I've ever known. (Chorus 3) Glancing backwards in the restlessness of mind. Glancing back towards all the past that we designed. Every word still lingers. (Breathless he denies...) Still I see you in the window in my eyes. (Chorus 4) Every building shows the weathering of time. Every guilding draws the tethering of rhyme. Waves wash over as I see you in the skies, Fading blackly in the window in my eyes.
