His GRP debut album Freedom at Midnight was his biggest seller and most popular album. Benoit also says that it was his favorite album to produce, because it was when "everything came together," as he stated in an interview on smoothviews.com.
Out of respect for one of his main influencers, Bill Evans, he dedicated his 1992 album Letter to Evan to him.
Many of his songs employed a string section, most notably on his American Landscape and Orchestral Stories albums in 1997 and 2005, respectively. He has said that it is his dream to release a symphonic album.
In 2000, after the death of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, he released a memorial album entitled Here's to You, Charlie Brown: 50 Great Years! Collaborators included the chorus group Take 6, guitarist Mark Antoine and trumpeter Chris Botti. He also did the music for "Peanuts" in the later specials.
He is a close friend of The Rippingtons' guitarist and lead Russ Freeman, and they often appeared on each other's albums. They also released collaborative efforts The Benoit/Freeman Project and The Benoit / Freeman Project 2.
Fuzzy Logic
David Benoit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Passing through the light of woods
Then I see a girl of green
and the lost hemisphere was white
Riding on her pink bike
Everyone sight on her
Then I fell for her smile
A classbook of Trigonometry...
Coz, she was smiling with a whitereen
Going everywhere turning everyone to wink
The smile of joy, the risk of heart burst
Got no adequate and well controlled life.
Way to go, a very little distance
Stars coming out, and getting attached with the space
The moon's getting smaller, the moon's shine faded
the world is turning out
A classbook of Trigonometry...
Pretended to read my math
Where the shoe lace were okay, but I even refinished them.
Passed by me, the world has turned back
And it was like Fuzzy Logic. (Wuu)
Coz, she was smiling with a whitereen
Going everywhere turning everyone to wink
The smile of joy, the risk of heart burst
Got no adequate and well controlled life.
Pretended to read my math
Where the shoe lace were okay, but I even refinished them.
Passed by me, the world has turned back
And it was like Fuzzy Logic. (Wuu)
The lyrics to David Benoit's "Fuzzy Logic" seem to be about a young man who falls for a girl on a pink bike, who has a penchant for turning heads and inciting joy in those around her. The singer appears to be lost in thought, perhaps contemplating his schoolwork as he passes through a wooded area. Suddenly, he spots a girl in green, and her presence seems to brighten up the previously hazy world around him. As he falls for her smile, the girl seems to embody a sense of carefree joy and unpredictability that is at odds with the singer's otherwise "well-controlled life."
As the lyrics progress, the singer seems to be grappling with a feeling of disorientation or confusion. The world turns and changes unpredictably, and he feels like he is caught up in a state of "fuzzy logic." Perhaps this is a metaphor for the ways in which the singer's ordered, logical worldview is being disrupted by his feelings for this girl. Despite his attempt to focus on his math homework, the singer seems to be distracted by the girl's presence, which has made the world less stable and more uncertain.
Overall, "Fuzzy Logic" seems to be a song about the ways in which unexpected encounters can disrupt our sense of order and control. The girl on the pink bike represents a kind of carefree joy and spontaneity that seems to be at odds with the singer's logical, ordered life. As he falls for her, he is forced to confront the ways in which his worldview might be limiting him, and how the world around him can be unpredictable and surprising.

Mind full of silver thoughts
My mind is full of deep and complex thoughts
Passing through the light of woods
I'm moving through a forest with sunlight shining through the trees
Then I see a girl of green
I catch sight of a girl wearing green clothing
and the lost hemisphere was white
The sky was very cloudy and overcast, making it difficult to see the horizon
Riding on her pink bike
The girl is riding a pink bicycle
Everyone sight on her
Everyone stops to look at her because she is so striking
Then I fell for her smile
I became enamored with her beautiful smile
A classbook of Trigonometry...
I have a textbook on trigonometry in my possession
Coz, she was smiling with a whitereen
Because she was smiling with a rare mixture of white and green
Going everywhere turning everyone to wink
She travels all over, captivating everyone with her charm
The smile of joy, the risk of heart burst
Her joyous smile has the power to make one's heart skip a beat
Got no adequate and well controlled life.
Her life lacks sufficient structure and control
Way to go, a very little distance
I don't have far to travel to reach my destination
Stars coming out, and getting attached with the space
The stars are appearing in the sky, seemingly connecting with the vastness of space
The moon's getting smaller, the moon's shine faded
The moon is shrinking and losing brightness
the world is turning out
The world is spinning around, moving inexorably toward the future
Pretended to read my math
I feigned interest in my trigonometry textbook
Where the shoe lace were okay, but I even refinished them.
I checked and adjusted my shoelaces even though they didn't need it
Passed by me, the world has turned back
As the girl rode past me, it felt like time had been rewound
And it was like Fuzzy Logic. (Wuu)
The experience of seeing the girl ride by was confusing and illogical, like the mathematical concept of fuzzy logic
