Have you ever wondered what makes a good song? Chances are you have not. If it fits your style and you can enjoy the music, then why bother? Fair enough. But of course, songwriters care about this question. Indeed, it was the very starting point of the Ben Sollberger Project.
Ben is a musician and songwriter from Bern in Switzerland who has been playing in bands for 28 years. In early 2018, when he went out often at weekends, Ben noticed that the music the DJs played was quite diverse. But no matter if it was pop, rock, or hard rock, the songs were usually hits from the past 50 years. Watching the crowd enjoy the music, Ben began to ask himself: Are there are any characteristics good songs share, irrespective of musical style?
After having pondered on this question for quite some time, Ben decided to approach writing in a new way. He put the song first and stopped caring about musical styles or band images. He wrote lyrics that reflect his personal experiences, as in “Lost in Translation” or “Legends Never Really Die” (which he wrote when he learned of the passing of guitar God Eddie van Halen). He looked out for catchy song titles and a good melody for them, such as in “Whenever There is Love”. Also, Ben started writing songs based on musical motives inspired by some of his legends, such as in “I Hate to Say” or “Breaking Free” (Can you guess the inspiration?).
Ben enjoys his musical freedom, recording the songs all by himself in his studio. And he hopes you enjoy his songs.
