This is the lead single from John Benda's forthcoming second solo album.

lyrics

Sunflower, where do we begin?
Is it okay to call it good?
Cause' it's hard to fake something
if it ain't born in your blood.

You can worry that your life's been wasted,
or refuse to compromise,
but I don't know where I'd be without you.

Nobody in their right mind
was born in the 90's.
I'd think that might be enough
to put your mind at ease.

These years can make me restless,
but they're never going to change my mind,
cause' I don't know where I'd be without you.

I've said it time and time again,
but it bears repeating:
there's a thousand reasons why
I'm never leaving.

Sunflower, where do I begin?
Because it's hard to tell where you end.

This love can leave me breathless,
but I'd never try to slow it down,
cause' I don't know where I'd be without you.

Spencer's second EP is fantastic, and continues Spencer's and my long tradition of mutual back-scratching by playing drums on it. John Benda

Get On with It
by BLACK LUCK

Black Luck is my band. We have three records and our fourth is on its way. It's very different from my solo stuff, but let's be honest. It's also WAY better. John Benda
