2. Roses From My Friends (The Will to Live, 1997)

“This song is like many other Ben Harper songs, and it is about a relationship ending. He can bear the stones or insults from enemies, but he cannot bear the roses from his friends, ie the goodbyes from his lovers…”

1. Forever (Welcome to the Cruel World, 1994)

“This is such an incredible song. I love how it talks about how, “forever always seems to be around when things begin, but forever never seems to be around when things end”. Isn’t that true? his would be the perfect song to play if you were gonna propose to someone…I know I would melt”
