Embed: but I guess we never really do
I thought that I would be terrified
but it's worse to watch them watch me
Sometimes I wish our lives were simpler
that we never had to stretch the food
That people here would treat my brother well
and that he would know he's good"

I laid out all those pages
and in my study typed them up
It was tough to say old they were
I guess --- years at least
The boy who wrote these words
Was an odd and complicated mind
But wisdom's often heavier
When found before its time

He said "We all get stuck in circles
but nothing moves in perfect lines
Connections underly the things we see
But to nuances we're blind
And I am never singular
I was born a pair to walk alone
My mirror shows the things im not
But it helps me feel at home"Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Old Gemini Lyrics

Evening in the garden
Surrounded by fireflies
We'd only just moved in
I spent my time alone there reading
and planted one thing a day

While shoveling the yard
my spade hit a metal box
And in it was a diary
The cover old and frayed


It said "I don't know how much time I have
but I guess we never really do
I thought that I would be terrified
but it's worse to watch them watch me
Sometimes I wish our lives were simpler
that we never had to stretch the food
That people here would treat my brother well
and that he would know he's good"

I laid out all those pages
and in my study typed them up
It was tough to say old they were
I guess --- years at least
The boy who wrote these words
Was an odd and complicated mind
But wisdom's often heavier
When found before its time

He said "We all get stuck in circles
but nothing moves in perfect lines
Connections underly the things we see
But to nuances we're blind
And I am never singular
I was born a pair to walk alone
My mirror shows the things im not
But it helps me feel at home"

Radical Face is the solo project of Ben Cooper (mainly of Electric President fame). Cooper, from Jacksonville Beach, FL is the sole member of the band, although he has enlisted the help of fellow Electric President Alex Kane, Cooper's friend Mark Hubbard and his brother Emeral. The album "Ghost" was originally scheduled to be released in late 2006, but was delayed to be remastered by the label (Morr Music), and it was subsequently released in March 2007.

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.
