This year he decided to follow in his dad’s footsteps, Aaron Benward, a 16 year veteran in the music business. Luke recently signed a production deal with In Crowd Productions who’s collective credits include: Hilary Duff, India Arie, Backstreet Boys, Mat Kearney, Death Cab for Cutie, and the Jonas Brothers.
At first glance, Luke Benward appears like any other typical thirteen year old boy. Born and raised in Franklin, Tennessee, he spends his free time like most kids his age: playing football, video games, break dancing and practicing on his new electric guitar. Lucky for Hollywood, Benward is not just your average 7th grader. Part of an entertainment family, Luke caught the acting bug by tagging along to auditions with his Mother, actress, and theatrical coach Kenda Benward.
Luke’s first break was at the age of five, appearing along side Mel Gibson in We Were Soldiers. At six years of age, he was cast in the television pilot Life on the Water and by age seven starred in the television pilot for the WB series Family Affair featuring Tim Curry and Gary Cole. He was cast as the southern speaking, toothpick chewing Stevie Dewberry in the family film Because of Winn Dixie at age 8. During the fall of 2006, movie goers laughed as Luke (Billy Forrester) choked down ten worms in the hit Walden Media Film How To Eat Fried Worms. Most recently, Benward played the brainy Charlie Tuttle, who invents a time machine that allows him to travel 48 hours into the past in Disney Channel's Minutemen. In 2008, buckle your seat belt as Luke takes on "three sorry thieves, four furry paws and five million bucks" in Diamond Dog Caper.
Higher Love

Woah!
Think about it...u-oo
There must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the sky's above
Without it, uh
Life is wasting time
I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad, everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
Yeah
We walk blind, and we try to see
Falling behind, and what could be
Yeah
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love
I keep thinking of?
World's are turning, yeah
And we're just hanging on
Facing our fears, standing out there alone
All yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone
Whose feeling for me
Things look so bad, everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind, and we try to see
Falling behind, and what could be
Yeah
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
I could rise above
On a higher love
I will wait for it
I'm not to late for it
Until then, I sing my song
To cheer, I'm not alone
Kick it!
Bring me a higher love
Don't you think, what this world needs is some higher love
That's all I'm saying, 1 2
Kick it in boys! Go!
Bring me a higher love
(Bring me a higher love)
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love
I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
(Bring me a higher love)
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love
I keep thinking of?
(Oo woah oh, oh oh oh)
Oh
(Oo woah oh, oh oh oh)
Bring me that higher love
Luke Benward's "Higher Love" speaks to the idea that there must be something more to life that can lift us up above the struggles we face every day. The lyrics call for a higher love that can be found within ourselves or in the universe around us. Without it, life can feel like it's just wasting away. The song suggests that we need to look beyond the surface level of our circumstances and find a deeper sense of purpose or connection.
The chorus, "Bring me a higher love," emphasizes this point and the desire to transcend our current situation, to rise above it and find something greater. The repetition of this phrase drives home the idea that we need to actively seek out this higher love, rather than waiting for it to come to us. The lyrics also touch on the idea that we are not alone in this search for something greater - there must be someone out there who is feeling the same way and looking for the same thing.
Overall, the message of "Higher Love" is one of hope and optimism, encouraging listeners to keep searching for that higher purpose and to never give up on the belief that there is something greater out there for us all.
