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.

Someday Soon
Ben Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have been after each other from night until noon
Chasin' around like a couple of fools
In a race of the clouds like a bloody cartoon
I hope I find my way home someday soon
Comfortable creatures and wonderless moves
Have been tirelessly learning their lines and their rules
and surprising themselves with their wonderful moods
You know I would do anything for you
I hope I find my way home someday soon
So where are you going when you know where you belong?
What do you think you're going to find?
Follow the moon until the morning plays along
Same as it happens every time
Every time, every time
Forget to remember there's nothing to prove
And I get to the end and it must have been true
I mostly remember the way that you look
And the only thing left is i'm lonely for you
Everything reminds me of you
And I hope I find my way home someday soon
So where are you going when you know where you belong?
What do you think you're going to prove?
Follow the moon until the morning plays along
Same as you always do
It's under control but the sun and the moon
Have been after each other from night until noon
Chasin' around like a couple of fools
In a race of the clouds like another cartoon
I know I'll find my way home someday soon
The lyrics to Ben Taylor's song "Someday Soon" appear to illustrate a sense of feeling lost or disconnected from reality. The opening lines describe the sun and moon as chasing each other in a seemingly meaningless race through the sky. The chorus reinforces this sense of aimlessness, as Taylor questions where he belongs and what he hopes to prove. Despite these feelings of uncertainty, there is an underlying sense of hope that he will eventually find his way home.
The second verse introduces the concept of conforming to societal norms, with "comfortable creatures" and "wonderless moves" adhering to their predetermined roles. Despite this, there is a sense of optimism as they surprise themselves with their "wonderful moods." Throughout the song, there is a strong sense of nostalgia and longing for something familiar and comforting. The final verse leaves the impression that memories of a lost love are the only things left behind, with everything else reminding Taylor of that person.
Overall, "Someday Soon" appears to be a song about feeling lost and searching for a sense of belonging. The lyrics provide a poignant and relatable portrait of the human experience, especially the confusion and uncertainty that can accompany this journey.
