I was really surprised regarding the song posted. I watched it and cried. I know this song very well. When I was 12 years old, just moving states away from my father to live with my mother, this was my song. I had it on cassette tape and listened to it over and over again.
At that age, the song really spoke to me and comforted me in a time of confusion, loneliness and uncertianity (since I didn't know my mother, as the last time I saw her, I was 6 year old).
To me, Ben is a very moving, comforting song. It is a wonderful song to dedicate to your friend that you loss. May God bless you and guide you during your loss.
