Benjamin Corson pierces into his most primal emotions for his latest release. Here for you promises to be a personal, vivid and cathartic release of music that occurs from the deepest trenches of the soul. With his friend Tim Pitchford, he releases a 2-song EP that resonates with 10, just with the themes they’ve used and the way the songs have been composed. We’re taking a look at Butterflies and Here for you.
Thoughtful singer-songwriter gems
A dramatic, rich track with a plethora of layers to peel away, Butterflies opens this EP. Perhaps no words would suffice for what Benjamin Corson had to say, and hence he leads with an instrumental opening that gushes in. The musician raised in Paris carries a different vocal pattern, which not only opens up the confession in emotions but also the melancholy, like powerful punches to the gut.
A bluesy rock core remains as the flavour of the song, while his vocals quiver with more than a flicker of spiritual honesty coming through. It’s like watching a silver screen rendition of an open journal, sheets flying in the chaos. Tim Pitchford does an incredible job of lyrically balancing weight between parts that are instrumentally dense and giving attention to the prose of the song as well.

When art-life imitate each other
Here for you becomes the beacon of hope it was represented to be. After Mirage and Gemini, there is something about these 2 musicians understanding their deepest thoughts and representing them through music. Benjamin Corson becomes perfectly candid, with walls down when Here for you plays. It has no layers of pretence and dense compositional frills.
This is where you hear just a father’s core emotions and train of thought when he sees his daughter, sharing strength for her. It is more than an anthem and is an incredibly powerful way of representing a place of fear and discomfort to make it the resolute change it became for him.
