This past Saturday was our 11th anniversary so I did what any good songwriter does [:) ] and wrote her a song.
If you’re interested, the last anniversary song I wrote Olivia was “Like This” from my album State I’m In.
Let me know what you think!

A little change of pace this week. I’ve played you eight new original songs in-a-row so I thought it would be fun to do a cover. This is the first Garth Brooks song I learned to play. It’s very James Taylorish so it fit me just right. It was written by Garth and Victoria Shaw from the album Fresh Horses.

This week I’ve got a new song that I wrote a couple years ago with my friend Chris Roberts. Chris is in the band One Flew South and is an all-around great guy. I’m actually going into withdrawl beacuse we haven’t written together in so long 
.
Olivia and I love to go to estate sales, but they can be sad sometimes. This inspired us to write about “Pictures hanging on the wall.”

This is the sixth week of the YouTube Sessions! I’ve got another country song for you. This one has quite an interesting inspiration…I was watching an interview with Jessica Simpson last week on TV. It struck me how she had been through so much — some self-inflicted, some not, but yet, for those few minutes in that studio she could just talk about music and leave all that stuff outside.
This got me thinking about how a person can do that for someone else. How “In Here” the outside world can just disappear for awhile.
Obviously, this song is just inspired by Ms. Simpson, not directed toward her .

This is the fourth song in the YouTube Sessions. I’m proud to bring you a brand spanking new song that took me forever to record (hard guitar parts take some time:)…I hope you like it!!!

Week three of the YouTube Sessions! I’ve gotten some great responses from the first two videos, so thank you. After you watch the video below, be sure to go to my channel and subscribe.
“I Need You Lord” is an older song to which I’ve added a new section. I was walking to the grocery store (something I do a lot) and for some reason I was singing this song in my head. When I got to the end of the verse, I just kept singing and this new section was born. Enjoy.

Here’s the second installment of my series, the YouTube Sessions. Today’s song is “All of Me.” It’s a fun, upbeat song made for celebrating. I always read in Scripture about the Lord being the “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” or the “God of Israel.” What struck me is that, because of Jesus, He is also the God of me – all of me.

So I’m starting a new series this week. I’m going to play a new original song straight from my kitchen — just me and the guitar. I’ve got so many new ones (and old ones) that I want you to hear. You can watch them here or at youtube.com/benwardmusic.
You can also download the audio for free right here: Song of Freedom.
I’ll keep an archive of the MP3s on the Current Music page.
Enjoy!
