Cooper's sophomore album, "Family Tree: The Roots" was released in October 2011. It is the first of the trilogy record called "The Family Tree" which follows the story of a fictional family from 1800 to 1950. Following "The Roots" will be "The Branches" and "The Relatives" respectively.
In between his first two Radical Face records Ben released two EP's to fill the gap. The first was "Touch The Sky". In the summer of 2011 "The Bastards Volume 1" EP was released. Other volumes will compliment the fore-coming Family Tree trilogy.
Under his 'Radical Face' moniker his music features acoustic guitar, "found-sound" percussion, and many multi-layered tracks. The sound is incredibly unique, not only because of Cooper's originality and raw talent, but also because most of the music has traditionally been recorded in the shed in his backyard.

We All Go the Same
Radical Face Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And some forgotten
And some of us will sleep out in the rain
And some of us will die lonely
And others' in grace and warmth
But in the end we all go the same
And some of us will be worn down with time
Some of us will be dreamers
While others' just fade away
But in the end we all leave the same
And some of us will take everything we can
And others' will just give it all away
And some of us will be beaten
While others' refuse to bend
But in the end we all go the same
And you will live your life full of fear
And I will live mine wishin' you were near
And you will pray to be stronger
And I won't pray at all
But either way we're both gonna fall
These lyrics are about the universal experience of life and the fact that no matter who we are, what we do, or how we live, we will all eventually share the same fate: death. The song recognizes that throughout life, people are treated differently based on their circumstances, choices, and luck. Some people will be revered and remembered after they die, while others will be forgotten. Some will live comfortably, while others will suffer and die alone in the rain. Some people will achieve great things and be famous, while others will simply fade away into obscurity.
Regardless of these differences, the chorus reminds us that in the end, we all go the same. No one can avoid death, and there is no way to predict how or when it will come. The second verse talks about how people will age differently, with some becoming worn down over time and others remaining famous and beloved. Some will live with dreams and aspirations, while others will fade away into a life of mediocrity. Again, though, the chorus reiterates that no matter what happens in life, we will all end up in the same place.
The final verse discusses the differences in how people approach life. Some will take everything they can, while others will give freely. Some will be beaten down by life, while others will refuse to give up. The point of the song, however, is that in the end, none of these things matter. We are all going to experience the same fate, and there is no escaping it.
