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
My grandmother, Irene Weesner, passed away in October of 2005. I actually wrote this song for her, but I thought it was a nice fit for this album, considering the subject matter. So although this album is dedicated to my father, this song was written a few days after Grandmama died. We miss you, Grandmama.
Lyrics
(verse 1) How do I let you go How do I let you know That you have changed my life Just by loving me the same… every day How do I close my eyes How do I say goodbye To part of who I am Part of every note I play (chorus) And I guess I’ve always known That this day would come But it always seemed far away And even though I can admit That it’s part of life Why does it have to be today? (verse 2) How do I find a way To say what I should say So everyone will see What you really mean to me? How can I disguise When they try to sympathize And I can’t stand to smile And pretend that I’m okay
