Ain't No Business - Music & Lyrics by Ben Forbeck  

Lyrics:
I see you bringing forth before my eyes
A feeling that you have draped in a disguise of lies
That shakes the ground beneath and between us.
Fostering chaos will lead one to seize dust.
Must you fabricate a second more of what
You claimed to have done all before?
Contours of wisdom tend to go to and fro
The release of all those things that you have known.

But, it ain't no business of mine.
It ain't no business of mine.
You make your choices, not I.
It ain't no business of mine.

Words, they say, are simple to speak.
You're hopeful to trick fools when your talk is cheap.
Not me, I can see exactly who you are.
The facade you put up was doomed from the start
Of when you must fall before we may build up again
What we had so dearly as friends.
The end is as real as you make it to be.
Choose what you will, but I'll still be me.

'Cause it ain't no business of mine.
It ain't no business of mine.
You make your choices, not I.
It ain't no business of mine.

Back Again - Music & Lyrics by Ben Forbeck

Lyrics:
Besmirked the wingtips of the shoreline.
Undo the deeds that must be done
Unto the cackling bad king, forthright.
The truths brought forth are always spun.

Gone with the leaves into the wind
Brought by the sly, watchful regime.
What was not known became godsend
As the past became a dream.

And soon thereafter shot loose the noose.
And true companions championed all.
The feeling could not be refused
As the many mass crowds stared in awe.

They say that history repeats itself
Due to the law of push and pull.
For it was told in books on back shelves,
Disheveled, dismantled by the fools.

Spaced, but containing connection,
The stories start to write their own.
Each containing its own perspective
Until the greater one is shown.

Cast the light into the fields.
The brazen blades reflect the dew.
For this is what willpower yields.
It is to I as is to you.

Back again
Back again
Back again
Back again

- The Lore -

On a fine spring day in 2013, Ben Forbeck met Tony De Luca in the wooded hills near their hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From that moment onward, through the years and across the country, Ben and Tony have been playing, performing, and composing music together.

The music of Half Step Ahead spans many diverse genres, always embracing new sides of sound. With each performance, the band intently focuses on group improvisation to continually reinvent their songs and sound on a nightly basis. The end result is an action-packed show full of fun and unpredictable twists and turns with something for everyone!

Half Step Ahead has been and will continue to be on a mission and a journey to fill lives with groove.

Come along! Take the Step! Let's boogie!
