What inspired the song “Story About a Broken Heart”?
The inspiration was an old love I [Benjamin's Brother] had, and there were some issues that weren't resolved. The only way to resolve those issues, at least in my head, was to write about them.
How did that story inform the music video?
We wanted the video to be made with the idea that you have that crossroad in your life when you love someone: Should you let him go, because that love would be happier without you? Or should you fight and make her stay so she can realize that she will never love someone else but you? And that's a never ending question.
That is exactly how Noam Sharon, Tal Rosenthal & Blackboard Studios team made me feel the first time I watched the video for our song. There's never a right answer. And they translated it perfectly to film.
Where can people go to hear more music from Benjamin's Brother?
The album is available through Bandcamp or, you can purchase a hard copy in one of our shows.
