"My dear friend Frano has been playing music since he was a little child and has led a dedicated life encouraged by his wonderful family. I have observed his amazing abilities evolving into a force of nature that hits like a velvet sledgehammer in the heart and soul of all who see and hear him play." - Tommy Emmanuel, CGP

Self-recorded, produced and released by Frano Livingston. Not digitally altered in any way.

Waterfall (2016) - Bonus

"Silent Strings" drifts through the stillness of winter — a world hushed under soft snowlight. Gentle guitar tones flow like frozen rivers, echoing calm and reflection. Each piece carries the quiet magic of early winter mornings, where the air is cold, but the music feels warm and alive.

Snowlight

A song for the legendary Clexa pairing from The 100. Though tragedy has befallen us I hope this goes a little way to healing those wounds so we rise up stronger.

“Veins” is out now on Spotify / Apple and all streaming platforms go.benwylen.com/veins 

Sometimes songs just hit you like a ton of bricks. When they do, you have to catch them in that moment before they disappear forever. These moments are rare, but when they happen they are always special. It’s like catching lightning in a bottle. This is how Veins was written…I woke up one morning while visiting my parents and picked up an old music box from my childhood. I cranked the rusted handle and this beautiful little ominous melody emerged. I felt the whole song enter my head. It was urgent. I grabbed my guitar, searching to place the melody from my mind onto the strings. 15 minutes later Veins emerged! This is my reason for living! These moments make everything worth it! I am so beyond excited to share Veins with you today! It has been a long time coming! Thank you to everyone who takes the time to listen! It is so humbling and I am so grateful! Much love to all!

Huge thanks to everyone who made this song possible

LYRICS:
Your world was looking dark
You held a heavy heart 
And there I came
Coursing through your veins 

I turned it all around 
I lift you off the ground 
When I call your name 
You ask me if I’ll stay 

(Ohh) it makes you feel better
When I’m in your veins 
It makes you feel better
I’m keeping you sane 
It makes you feel better
When I take the blame 
(Ohh)

You fell in the abyss 
With shaking fingertips
You tremble on 
Wondrin' where I’ve gone 

You reach out for a rope 
Searching for some hope 
And there I am
Lendin’ you a hand 

(Ohh) it’s makes you feel better
When I’m in your veins 
It makes you feel better
I’m keeping you sane 
It makes you feel better
When I take the blame 

(Ohh) You wouldn't dare live on 
Without me by your side 

When You’re feeling low
I raise you up 
And turn the tide 

(Ohh) I make you feel better 

(Ohh) it makes you feel better
When I’m in your veins 
It makes you feel better
I’m keeping you sane 
It makes you feel better
When I take the blame

Unwritten

This account is dedicated to covers of Taylor Swift songs I make. I really enjoy making these and putting my own spin on her music. The instruments you will hear are acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitar, bongo drum/electronic drum beats made by me, and occasionally piano/keyboard. I hope you enjoy what you hear, as I am pretty proud of these
