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.

Lyrics
Shirley led a rather shy and somber life Away from any dangers that could do her harm And in her spacious chambers devoid of any strife Live only shadowed memories of all that kept her warm She throws a careless glance towards an unseen force Instantly transported to another place and time And when the moment passes there is nothing but remorse As she recalls the love lost in her prime (chorus) And all the secret sins we shroud in platitudes The mysteries behind our bitter smiles Will compensate us for our darkest attitudes And allows us to be happy for a while A fairy tale for children that were never born A parable for souls that can’t be saved This simple tale reminds us that we all will soon be mourned And forgotten by the masters and the slaves The portrait on her mantle put her mind at ease Deep thoughts and contemplation on his brow A living canvas gentle as a summer breeze Gave her all the joy she would allow He left a gilded lily on which she rests But money and possessions left her cold And when the tears in her eyes begin to crest The story of her man can then be told (chorus) And all the secret sins we shroud in platitudes The mysteries behind our bitter smiles Will compensate us for our darkest attitudes And allows us to be happy for a while A fairy tale for children that were never born A parable for souls that can’t be saved This simple tale reminds us that we all will soon be mourned And forgotten by the masters and the slaves
