I don’t know if there is anything I can say now that I haven’t there and isn’t that the point of all this?” Many records in the indie and alternative scene have taken on topics of existential crisis, asking big and difficult questions of life, but Ben made _Something Heavy_ as a culmination of what’s on the other side of that plight. Over the past ten years Ben has had a long and illuminating journey with their own mental health, building a strong background in mental and physical wellness that has shifted their music from asking the big questions to advancing the conversation and even discussing ways to move forward. Many assume that an artists best work comes at their lowest moments, however Ben’s experience with mindfulness, meditation, and sobriety is a testament to the new creative elements that an artist can unlock when they’re on the healing path. you, me, and everyone we know - Better Than I Ever Was ft.

I’ve come to view the album as a sonic mirror. My hope is that it shows you what you need to see.” ![](https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/jZWf705JUS1wmLfs2jrrtPHa5PWFwX7nuRy0ZLh9H6gNXyvBcb- qrNDzxYa61M89-WoGSdQorulGTtuBlBgybK1q-Fb7OQvxSYTp_fwDmEvvkob9swhGvcUkJSlPAsmON8ddMOXQh61E- 1TjDgXuXA61x12AYQ=s0-d-e1-ft#https://mcusercontent.com/f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984/ images/2e7b5db7-1829-29d0-be8f-2d5ff980b756.jpg) **Tracklisting _Something Heavy_  1.

Through therapy, they began to learn how to unpack traumas that informed a lot of the perspective of past material and understand the impact those traumas had on their development as a person. The process of knocking down these walls that Ben forgot they even built informed a good chunk of songwriting for _Something Heavy_, which references the ideological teachings of Ram Dass and the philosophical musings of comedian Pete Holmes, in such a way that allowed all of the separate world’s that they’ve inhibited to bleed into one another. “I have always wondered the feeling one is supposed to have at this point now that _Something Heavy_ is out. It is as if I climbed Everest months ago, but I’m just now sharing photos from the trip,” says Ben. “I feel excited by the prospect that my ever deepening understanding of my suffering in life could bring about for others a deeper understanding of their own. I was never allowed to have or communicate my feelings, if I had been I probably never would have learned to communicate this well through song. So, go listen to the record. It does a better job explaining everything than I can here.” _**Something Heavy **_by**You, Me, And Everyone We Know** is out now **September 17**_via _**Know Hope Records**. **UPCOMING SHOWS** ![](https://i0.wp.com/uccc776b95853f030917a7aa38ed.previews.dropboxusercontent.com/ p/thumb/ABTex_qi3tN4LL7ujG9fkWn31_WUAkx2u-CovFkJtpJYDSLwcrVpHQVQT6t1yhImG5FmAZXiAuJIaXBM0kjzD6DIfLFXZ- trS26bUqcmskSM4Ql0zKWkVL-vETXR7qU9bbuEMytisi_zj8XuwU_zO4yj4c-M9oON1Fwjqd1DaaKW5z5C- jC1SzakkUQZQtWaQGmZFThQM1X9KiXHRNmTvUZG-IeOD5LC8CVpRgM1UE5d98r0Dy0ka4ogBlrNJfK6E- lFC1guu94iJh4BpZ87qe-mN_N12uZKpOjeL6NE2B8weBIU0FjUeupVs8NfUP7B5ZU_s48VsRdFljH0n3Q8IObsBc- CuJkzvCTI-2Cyd6_k00O4Ti673Rv3CeS92oFfG6_aNT_cEKHpgXirAaAW7jsQ/p.png?resize=409%2C548& ssl=1) ![](https://i0.wp.com/uc72e59837a0b68364d99c8f9ed9.previews.dropboxusercontent.com/ p/thumb/ABQMTF-2YZSRjMMZf0q4OqoUwha3cmbdV2o-I9f_-x_bsetLmWuvFp49wWspXiMLpXKtX3VvPGWPTHRJeclF_CEmHAO2M0OZclCd6kgu2Mdjq2Q1QgY_IWkWiCLNeXUibnjOxpKdkO_DzG2NC6bQ0L25GMRrJxWtauXwj7SSseqb2u4myT9ffAUA4ytnLdIZacyw5_pFHi4PAHnLCkd15VssCuSy9kP5aSm24zm7FejKL9oTPrJXDvtekvZs6K6VTs5AfXxwjnmoAX- Fo11yggY4chAI8iLa9XNXv8kfo4e5YjToI1hqXSslimEtyr0uqJrGirCCMia84W3bJNgnnnT5R_WhJLhdHfr127KbsBYKRGKlA5Uf_n- huV4kLjFLct-UzsXx8p-xRPI3zO4cUTJI/p.png?w=1290&ssl=1) [[[[[**Website**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=898800c57c&e=615f2b8493)[** Twitter **]( https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=2ad69ca1f5&e=615f2b8493)[**Facebook**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=4f719066ec&e=615f2b8493)[** Instagram**] (https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=fa949be927&e=615f2b8493) ### Share this: * [ Facebook ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/you-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/you-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy/?share=x) * [ Email ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/you-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20You%2C%20Me%2C%20And%20Everyone%20We%20Know%20Release%20Long-Awaited%20Sophomore%20Album%20%27Something%20Heavy&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyrdcast.com%2Fyou-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy%2F&share=email) * [ LinkedIn ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/you-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy/?share=linkedin) * [ Mastodon ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/you-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy/?share=mastodon) * [ Nextdoor ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/you-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy/?share=nextdoor) * [ Pinterest ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/you-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy/?share=pinterest) * [ Reddit ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/you-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy/?share=reddit) * [ Tumblr ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/you-me-and-everyone-we-know-release-long-awaited-sophomore-album-something-heavy/?share=tumblr) ### Like this: Like Loading… ### _Related_
