'The Paper And The Ink' by Benjamin Tod from the album 'Songs I Swore I'd Never Sing' Anti-Corp Music 2022 www.benjamintodmusic.com www.anticorpmusic.com
Your right, i hate all mordern country music because its snap tracks and words that appeal to sheep. I need pain and sadness in my country music just like the pain you hear in old black blues musicians that comes from the heart. Its not that i get off on other people's misery but i feel like im not alone in my daily struggle to be a good man that constantly gets fucked over because its not in me to just look out for me. This is what country music is missing today and i am a fan forever.
Sitting a few headstones from my best friends grave, I for just a moment, forgot where I was. I was lost looking at the formations in the cloudy sky. I looked to my right and saw her name chiseled in stone “Marla McLachlan Anderson” and it shook me from a place where I swear to God, that she was next to and not under neath me… buried four years ago under the country dirt, sadness and years of pain, that only by her own hand could be alleviated. Mr.Tod, I too know what it’s like to inherit someone else’s pain. All my love. RIP our dearest friends.

I don't have no social media so this is the only place I can tell you how much I appreciate your art brother. I wish I could go to the bar and play your music and show my friends but I can't. I wish I could buy tickets to your concert at Riverbend, but I can't. That's a shame man. Keep writing whatever you do.
I was in a bar in Nashville... matter of fact it was Jackson's. It was the top floor. A couple woth allergies were playing. They asked for a request and i requested Benjamin Todd. They tried to say they didn't know him. I never got the feeling i was being lied to more in my entire life.
Man I don’t know how I’d get through the day without my dose of “Daily Tod” bless your soul and you walked beside me digging myself out of similar hells. @benjamintod seeing how much you’ve progressed is a blessing. But I still love the early days. ❤❤ thank you for sharing your stories with us. I relate to almost all of them in some way.
