about

My little buddy Henry hasn't turned one year old yet, he will soon. He is a light that shines brightly, I am not just talking about any little guy, this kid is really special... you would know what I mean if you met him. This song is inspired and dedicated to him.

lyrics

Maybe it was the way he spoke without words
or perhaps it was the gentle smile
Henry was always able to bring the light back to earth
even when the world around us seemed to be crumbling

Bigger things just seemed easy
like tornadoes and broken hearts
sent out silent words and moved his hands
like a magician
like a magician

Then when Henry calmed the Hurricane
it was a magnificent feat
didn't seem to want any of the attention
It wasn't him it was the state he was in

He kissed the alligator
Pet the mountain lion
and he slept it all off by noon
the simple life
oh the simple life
needs no complications
only realizations

about

Shelk Seattle, Washington

Hi I am Robb Benson and I started SHELK as a potential future band back in 2013. Released a full album that year on CD then many digital only basement releases have followed. Eventually became Stereo Embers but that is more of a rock and roll outfit and SHELK is now the solo indie side project (with friends at times) These basement demos are the seeds I release each year. Thanks for listening! ... more
