On his first released album Famous Among the Barns and his EP #1, Taylor collaborated with friends Adam MacDougall and Larry Ciancia to form The Ben Taylor Band. However, ultimately deciding that this path (which yielded music that Taylor describes as "neo-psychadelic folk funk") was not his true musical nature, Taylor released a follow-up album by himself that is much more acoustic in nature and more in line with his family roots. That solo effort, Another Run Around the Sun, features background vocals by his sister and mother, and still features drummer-friend Larry Ciancia, and well as Kevin Bacon on bass guitar, and producer.
During 2008 Ben released his third studio album, the wittily titled 'The Legend of Kung Folk: Part One (The Killing Bite). This time however, Ben reverted his name to 'Benjamin', so look for Benjamin Taylor this in the record store :-) An extensive world tour of intimate venue's followed, with Larry again on percussion, and his old friend (and self declared heterosexual soul mate) and writing partner David Saw on accompanying guitar and vocal duties. Throughout 2010, Ben & David have continued to write, record and release tracks on Ben's website.

Ben Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life is so cruel
She's always good when she's so bad
What can she do?
She's always telling me stories
Always telling me lies
She's opened up for the long run
You can tell her which shows
That's how it goes
She always calls me
She's lonely
Always calls me
She needs me
Always, always, always, always, always, always
Sometimes she's more than I can take
When she shines on me with a love light
Sweet heaven above
Well body presses against mine
Warm like the shining sun
She only wishes me glory
She only wants to adore me
Always, always, always, always, always, always
Sometimes, sometimes
Always, always, always, always, always, always
Sometimes, sometimes
Always, always, always, always, always, always
She's all that I can take
The song "Always" by Ben Taylor is a conversation about a woman who is always desiring things that she cannot have. She is aware of the cruelty of life and yet she continuously yearns for the things out of her reach. This woman also has a tendency to tell lies and have stories that may or may not be true. She seems to be always in search of someone or something that fulfills her.
As the verse continues, we hear about how this woman is constantly calling the singer. She is lonely and needs someone to talk to. When they are together, she showers the singer with love and affection. However, the singer can only take so much of her attention and sometimes finds her overwhelming.
Overall, the song highlights the complexity of relationships and the desire for things that we cannot have. The woman in the song seems to be searching for fulfillment, but her constant search may leave her feeling lonely and unfulfilled.
