[16] Benson Boone’s Internal Conflict

I split the post up into tracks because it’s long. Track 16 What do you Want– This song brings the thesis of religious trauma breaking the whole-person Benson into pieces, and how that impacted his gay lover. The next line is painful. Acceptable-Benson felt a breeze and it caused dread. Ripping away skin is a sacrifice made by Gay-Benson. So I ripped away my skin to warm your bones Is this…

[15] Benson Boone’s Internal Conflict

I split the post up into tracks because it’s long. Track 15 Pretty Slowly– Wow wow wowie-that voice! The emotion and urgency. If you remember the earlier song “Slow it Down” talked about Benson having a gay sexual experience and it provoked a crisis between his faith and sexuality. Instead of happiness with a new relationship that felt good to him, Benson felt guilt and fear. He was in his…

[14] Benson Boone’s Internal Conflict

I split the post up into tracks because it’s long. Track 14 Friend– Feeling low and needing support. He’s feeling heavy and alone. A take on The Wonder Years theme song? It’s the after-effects of leaving religion and losing that ubiquitous support. And now I see my face in a broken windowpane I could use someone to help me pick up the pieces that remain Broken and in pieces spells out what…

[13] Benson Boone’s Internal Conflict

I split the post up into tracks because it’s long. Track 13 Love of Mine– Softer and slower than the others. This song takes place after a big decision point (discussed in the prior song). Mutual hurt is being discussed. Oh, my love, where have you been? I’m lost at sea, goin’ against the wind Without you drifting about the blue Is “my love” the same as “Love” = God from the other song?…

[12] Benson Boone’s Internal Conflict

I split the post up into tracks because it’s long. Track 12 Ghost Town– This could be about breaking up with a girlfriend. But it feels heavier than that. I think “you” could be a gay lover that is having to deal with Benson’s indecisiveness and internal homophobia. This person gets left because Benson was having a crisis of faith. Hating Gay-Benson felt like he also hated his gay lover. You…

[11] Benson Boone’s Internal Conflict

I split the post up into tracks because it’s long. Track 11 Hello Love– Good running pace and beat to the music. Lovely imagery of the cover art.  I thought this song was out of order to the thesis story. Somewhere prior to the two pieces of Benson coming back together. Because I’m hearing about a split that makes for very unhappy times. But upon re-read I think this is a message to God. Love…

[10] Benson Boone’s Internal Conflict

I split the post up into tracks because it’s long. Track 10 There she Goes– I think there’s quite a few songs on the album that cursory listeners might attribute to a girlfriend. But if you listen, he’s talking about themes of religion. For example, He doesn’t say “face” I’m sure he says “faith” in the fourth and sixth verses (timestamps 2:11 and 3:12). …And every time I go away, I hate that…

[9] Benson Boone’s Internal Conflict

I split the post up into tracks because it’s long. Track 9 My Greatest Fear– Here is the continuation of the story that mentions being further from God. It’s a problem between reckoning sexuality and Biblical studies. He’s afraid if he acts on gay impulses he could lose God and die alone. Benson is struggling with this conflict and can’t sleep. My life’s gone to waste/Just filling up empty…
