I guess I would definitely feel a bit of a void in what people are getting from music these days. And I think that the problem lies not so much on the listener. People kind of listen to what is presented to them, whether it be on the radio or at a local venue. Ben Lovett bitedayfeel share on social
I guess something that I've noticed from American acts who had success in touring is more of an explanation as to their music. Which is I think quite funny.

'Beneath the Piano' by The Devil Makes Three somehow reminds me of an old Johnny Cash song. The song is a lot of fun and tells a story. Ben Lovett beneathcashdevil Change image and share on social

I don't think any other city in the world... the sun doesn't shine the same way anywhere as it does in New York. And then I guess everyone's very good at hanging out. Not in a crazy way, but you're just constantly interacting and learning. Ben Lovett cityconstantlycrazy share on social
