{Lyrics}
I know it’s hard, hard to say
That you need anything
Cause you're used to carryin’ it all by yourself
You've got a heavy heart, lot of pain 
I can see it on your face
But you never ever say a word
 
When the rain starts to fall
And the storm’s gettin’ rough
I hope you know that you can call on me
When it's all fallin’ down
And there’s no one else around
I hope you know that you can count on me
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
I’ll carry that weight for you
I’ll carry that weight for you
 
I know you're strong, strong enough
To carry the weight of the world
But you don't have to do it by yourself
We all need someone, I know it's true
Cause I need somebody too
All ya have to do is just say the word
 
When the storm’s ragin’ on
And ya walkin’ home alone
I hope ya know that you can call on me
Don't ya keep it all inside
Don't ya hold onto your pride
I hope you know that you can count on me 
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
I’ll carry that weight
I’ll carry that weight for you
 
Take my hand, when I reach out to you
Hold on tight, I'll help ya see it through
 
Lean on me, let me carry you
See you don't' have to face it all alone
Face it all alone
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone

Talk to Me of Mendocino

Everywhere we walk about, we stop to talk about people, and places and things,
It’s all we want to think, kick up a stink about people, that wait in the wings by the side of the stage, in the words on the page of the editorial, the dictatorial view,
Shouldn’t the commentator’s comment be true?

Where did the chancers, dreamers, blue eyed schemers,
Men in suits and window cleaners go?
Ooh, wo, ho, oh, oh
 
Coz I’m waiting outside alone,
And the rest of the world don’t know,
That it breaks me down, the way those clowns are treating me, keeping me, waiting outside alone
 
Everywhere she goes she says she’s making this country’s case and staking her well-found reputation on stiff upper lips and soldier songs

Stiff upper lips won’t save the men in suits and badger baiters oh,
Ooh, wo, ho, oh, oh
                                                                                   	
Coz I’m waiting outside alone,
And the rest of the world don’t know,
That it breaks me down, the way those clowns are treating me, keeping me, waiting outside alone

Coz I’m waiting outside alone,
And the rest of the world don’t know,
That it breaks me down, the way those clowns are treating me, keeping me, waiting outside alone

Do I have to be on my own?
Ooh woo ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, woo ooh ooh
Treating me, keeping me….

Benji releases the first single - Satellite - from debut album Songs to Make You Happy on the 25th November 2022 via Pear O' Legs Records

After a solo hiatus of over five years, Welsh singer and songwriter Benji Tranter returns with his debut album Songs to Make You Happy. With a lo-fi, DIY ethos, unembellished guitars and vocals deliver a charming, sometimes chaotic, collection of vignettes; diary entries, polaroid snapshots, throwaway poems and short stories. The influence of US songwriters like Elliott Smith, Conor Oberst and Daniel Johnston is clear throughout, with occasional elements from Scott Walker, Nick Drake, and the care-free naivety of Jonathan Richman.

Growing up on the Welsh Marches, Benji has been songwriting for many years now, penning two EPs in 2014 and 2016, more recently focussing his efforts toward his power-pop group Ski Lift who have been featured across R1, BBC6 and BBC Wales. He has also collaborated with Jovis Lane in pop outfit Show Boy, and is currently a member of psych-folk group The All Night Chemist.

"Beautifully crafted" - Adam Walton, BBC Wales
