"Complaint" (uncensor hentai) comes out this Friday, August 7th on all streaming platforms! Pre-save link for Spotify: http://smarturl.it/zvq24l/
Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini Recording & Editing by Ben Visini Mastered with Cloudbounce
No, I don't have a bedframe. Yes, I'm single and don't hook up very often. Why are you asking?
UPDATE: Due to my schedule getting a little packed, for these next 2 weeks, the videos are going to have to be much simpler like this one is so I have more time. Still doing one song a week! Will reveal what I'm working on outside of the weekly songs when the time is right!
THE PLAN: This is part of a project I'm doing called "7-Day Songs"! I'm challenging myself to write, record, and edit a new original song/video each week, every Tuesday. Planning to do this until the shelter-in-place/lockdown ends, might extend this past that! It's been over 20 weeks now, I don't think I can stop for a while... I'm mainly a piano player & songwriter, not so much a recorder/mixer at all, so please bear with me as I try to improve these upcoming weeks!
Verse 1 After the show, you wanna come to my place? I got my own room, I got my own space Well, I guess I could have a little more room between the mattress and the floor Well are you really so surprised? 'Cause I'm an out-of-college guy A box spring or futon is where I like to get my groove on
Chorus No one but me to blame The bed frame's out of the game I know you'd hoped that maybe things had changed But every guy my age is still the same I think I failed your test 'Cause you seem unimpressed And if we're banging The bed might be less stable But I know sex ain't on the table anyway Until I get myself a bed frame
Verse 2 One day I'm sure I'll take your advice But as of now, I can't pay the price Having one implies I've got my life together But I don't ,and I wouldn't lie to you (woo!) I'd love it if you stuck around And we'll be so close to the ground I could use a couple inches down there (I mean between the bed and the floor, not like my dick or my junk)
Chorus No one but me to blame The bed frame's out of the game I know you'd hoped that maybe things had changed But every guy my age is still the same I think I failed your test Cause you seem unimpressed And if we're banging The bed might be less stable But I know sex ain't on the table anyway Until I get myself a bed frame
Bridge One day we'll be lovers Under the covers When my bed hovers Like, I don't know, half a foot off the ground? What's an average bed height?
Verse 3 I'm sure that I've got the potential I just don't see it as essential Having a bed frame would really raise up you and me Including the key (Wait wait wait - if I don't have a bed frame, my bed is lower, so shouldn't the key change go down?)
Chorus No one but me to blame The bed frame's out of the game I know you'd hoped that maybe things had changed But every guy my age is still the same I think I failed your test Cause you seem unimpressed And if we're banging The bed might be less stable But I know sex ain't on the table anyway Until I get myself a bed frame

"BenSFW" is the 3rd album from musical comedian Ben Visini (that's me! I just do 3rd person for corpo talk sorryyy). With a focus on sex and inspiration from Ninja Sex Party, these are his most lewd songs yet. The 15 track album will follow his journey and opinions about the carnal. The birds and the bflats. The (insert 3rd thing to round it out, don't forget this one).
With songs about (not owning) bed frames, reciprocation , death and ones legacy, the dreadful loneliness and guilt that creeps up on you when you’re not with someone intimately, and getting stepped on - there's a range of topics wider than *REDACTED*. Every song is in its own unique genre, from musical theater to EDM to 80’s rock. The project is looking at a September 2023 release. Get all of your holes ready (mostly the listening ones). This...is BenSFW.
A side note that I promise not to do too much: I recorded this immediately after the show, and I was still a little shaken up by it. My voice definitely took a hit - the next online show I do I'll focus more on how to balance things out.

LYRICS Finally came out, have no fear Anticipation building over 6 years The sequel of sequels I shudder to think of it Tears of the Kingdom is here
I've been waiting for a very long time No, this couldn't come out at a more wrong time Cause I don't really have the time to play I'm stuck here doing Bonus Stage
I'm too busy to play the brand new Zelda Cause I've got this show that I've gotta play I'm too busy, I don't know what to tell ya I've got this stupid career, and bills to pay No Tears of the Kingdom, you see The only tears are from me
We ascend to new levels of hype Fuse your hands to the joycons tight Load it up It's time to take to the sky Islands in the sky
I recall some folks don't understand Why I get more pleasure from my Ultra Hand Yeah, everything I said sounds pretty nice Bonus Stage, you're cool, but you're on thin ice
I'm too busy to play the brand new Zelda Cause I've got this show that I've gotta play I'm too busy, I don't know what to tell ya I've got this stupid career, and bills to pay No Tears of the Kingdom, you see The only tears are from me

CHORUS 1 No one but me to blame The bed frame’s out of the game I know you’d hoped that maybe things had changed But every guy my age is still the same (ugh) I think I failed your test ‘Cause you seem unimpressed And if we’re bangin’, the bed might be less stable But I know sex ain’t on the table anyway Until I get myself a bed frame Bed frame Bed frame

LYRICS: Video call It's nice to see you You're seeing where I sleep at night Personal space Come to conclusions About what I do here, you'd probably be right Some things you don't need to tell or show You already know
I masturbate in this room I never said it but we all can assume See my bed in the corner of the Zoom? You already know I blow my load in this room Woah oh-oh-oh ohh ohh woah
Deep down inside Knowledge was lurking Back of your mind You know I'm jerkin' Choking my chicken in the chair where we chat The lotion is in frame, I forgot about that (sorry) This is where I let my pleasure flow You already know
I masturbate in this room The camera turns off, I resume When I go live, the thought of it looms If you see me when I stream Yeah my wet dreams Are creaming in this room
Knowledge is power, well not anymore I did the deed right before Nobody says it, but even so You already know You already know You already know You know how it goes You know how it goes You know how it goes You already know oh oh-oh-oh
I masturbate in this room Bustin' nuts, no legumes Grinding my grundle til I coom (cum) Once this song is done Imma have some fun I masturbate in this room I never said it but we all can assume See my bed in the corner of the Zoom? You already know I blow my load in this You already know I blow my load in this room Woah oh-oh-oh ohh ohh woah Woah oh-oh-oh ohh ohh woah You already know I blow my load in this room2022 Personal Recap as a Ska SongBen Visini2023-02-07 | #skasong #weirdalyankovic #2022
I decided I want to focus on what went well last year instead of dwelling on what didn't - so here's a list of everything* that happened to me in 2022! *that I'm willing to share, obv.
JANUARY Started out the year pretty shitty With moving out, those people really put me through hell But it got better, literally 2 hours later Because I started dating my amazing partner Mel
FEBRUARY Article in SF Examiner Got to be the best man at my brother's wedding Put out my 2nd album after an incredible kickstarter, on the same day as Elden Ring
MARCH I played more Elden Ring A little too much Elden Ring The 2 year anniversary of "7-Day Songs"
APRIL Got to open for my friend's national tour And made a parody of Friends except your wife turned out to be gay
This is my 2022 Year in song review Year in song review
MAY Finally started getting paid for acting work It wasn't much, it wasn't good, but I made 50 bucks WOO Got back to doing more traditional improv I went to Fanime dressed as Ted Lasso cause he fucks
JUNE I started working on a very special project Keep all body parts peeled for future music shit
JULY Went to SoCal, Therapy video, I wrote a musical with Twitch chat interaction Instant hit
AUGUST Went to MAGWest as a featured guest and speaker It was awesome and my aspiration for the year Flown to Chicago for an improv gig by ALN I quit my delivery job and work in theaters
This is my 2022 Year in song review Year in song review
SEPTEMBER Lots of busy work, I never saw my family or friends FUCK THEM I'm drumming for a cabaret
OCTOBER Started streaming every Tuesday after a break Uninstalled TikTok my free time is saved
NOVEMBER Played guitar for the very first time on stage And most of the notes were right Another musical, this time I wanna be a car and fuck other cars So no head? LIGHTS
DECEMBER Thanks to cabaret, and theater work, and improv gigs I work in entertainment almost all of the time I wrote this song that sounds a lot like Horoscope by Weird Al Yankovic I hope I don't get slapped with a fine
whoever's reading this - this song is ESPECIALLY for you :)
Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini Directed/Edited by Ben Visini Mixing/Mastering by Kevin Wong Starring/Camera Work: Colin Marquart Extra help: Jessica Landeros
This song was originally written in November 2020 as song #34 of my 52-song series "7-Day Songs". I'm super happy I was able to give this song the more detailed video it deserves - enjoy!
Verse 1: Lots of my friends Know that I write songs And they can't wait for theirs to come along A serenade, so personalized I was getting to them and then I realized Writing all of those would take too much time So I chose to combine (all of them)
Chorus: This song is totally about you (yeah, sure) This song is totally about you Yeah whatever you do It inspired this tune If I'm vague enough, you will be fooled This song is totally about you
(just for you, baby)
Verse 2 Well there we go, technically my work is done By having this one be the one for everyone And if it seems like I'm implying a name Or anything specific just fill in the blank And if one day my wife wants a song I'm turning this on (see honey, i already wrote you a song!)
This song is totally about you (technically, I'm right) This song is totally about you How much you mean to me Sung in sweet harmony And it's yours if you wanted one too This song is totally about you
Bridge: I don't want to ever have to write another song about another single person Takes a lot of work, I'm a lazy jerk, and I never wanna have write another verse - instead Save a lot of time, single set of rhymes, doing it cause I'm sick of people asking Now I never need to write another set of lyrics I can play it and say it applies to anyone who hears it All day Get it out of the way Now I can say That this song's for: you, you, you - oh, sorry, not you
Chorus: This song is totally about you (each and every one of you) This song is totally about you (all of you except for that one guy) Yeah whatever you do It inspired this tune If I'm vague enough, you will be fooled
This song is totally about you (remember, still not one that one guy) This song is totally about you (don't - don't - DON'T LOOK AT HIM) How much you mean to me Sung in sweet harmony And it's yours if you wanted one too This song is totally about you
Still on that wii shop channel vibe, though yeeRaise Our Love from the Dead (ft. kevinmattw) - Official Music VideoBen Visini2022-10-31 | Originally released on October 20th, 2020, "Raise Our Love from the Dead" was the 31st song in my weekly song project. Now remixed/remastered, here's the original video with the best audio!
LYRICS Verse 1: Looking back I wonder why I even tried What we had was guaranteed to die It's better off 6 feet below, just let it go Not the most horrifying story or frightening fright Compares to you calling me up late at night Cry on the line and you try
Chorus 1: To raise our love from the dead Can't raise our love from the dead Even though it's laid to bed You try to raise our love from the dead Did you think that you still had a shot Let the love we had decay and rot Like you once said Can't raise our love from the dead
Verse 2: I know you're desperate to steal the corpse and reanimate I'm sorry baby I can't relate If I recall, you dug the grave That's your mistake This abomination was never meant to be revived But still you bring it to your castle up high Flip the switch and scream "It's alive!" (Why do you try)
Chorus 2: To raise our love from the dead Can't raise our love from the dead Even though it's laid to bed You try to raise our love from the dead Rotting monsters want to bash in my head And I would so much rather spend the night with them instead Than raise our love from the dead
(You can't bring it back)
Verse 3: The creature that you brought from hell Is just a rancid broken shell Of a love that once had a soul, not anymore You can't go back to before
Chorus 3: And raise our love from the dead Can't raise our love from the dead Even though it's laid to bed You try to raise our love from the dead You're a zombie that's wanting me back But I'm not a necrophiliac The flag is crimson red To raise our love from the dead

This song was originally written in December 2020 as song #41 of my 52-song series "7-Day Songs". The music video created back then was done on a huge time constraint (moreso than the other songs) and it resulted in a last minute video I filmed and edited the day of uploading it. This time, I was able to put way more thought and effort into it - I hope you enjoy!
LYRICS: VERSE 1 Welcome back To this mess Lucky me Never left I'm full of shit Full of stress How am I? Take a guess
I need cash I need friends I need love Need to vent I used to lie Not prevent Run away Circumvent But I think I Finally know what I need
CHORUS I need therapy Anyone can see Something's wrong with me I need therapy Coming round, it's been long enough, I can agree Somebody named me should start to take care of me I need therapy
VERSE 2 Beer and wine's All I got Fell in love With the thought that I was fine But I'm not Forget what I was taught
Take a seat Close your eyes Get inside Analyze Make that mind Realize Find out if That applies I want more, but unfortunately I'm poor
CHORUS I need therapy Anyone can see Something's wrong with me I need therapy Coming round, it's been long enough, I can agree Somebody named me should start to take care of me I need therapy
VERSE 3 Strip away All the pain You have no thing to gain Closing up Break the chains Keeping you In your brain
C'mon and Bring it in Build it up I think I've Had enough Obsolete Macho stuff You were right Called my bluff This facade of strength made me fragile and weak
CHORUS I need therapy Anyone can see Something's wrong with me I need therapy Coming round, it's been long enough, I can agree Somebody named me should start to take care of me
I need therapy Anyone can see Something's wrong with me I need therapy Coming round, it's been long enough, I can agree Somebody named me should start to take care of me I need therapyWho Am I (feat. Chris Songco) - Official Music VideoBen Visini2022-04-28 | Originally released on March 16th, 2021, "Who Am I" was the final song in my weekly song project. Now remixed/remastered, here's the original video with the best audio!
LYRICS Verse 1: So it's come, here at last, I remember when I felt empty and needed that spark again I don't feel any different than I did then What went wrong?
I can't give anything that I've done here love Cause that stage of my life is now covered up With a cloud telling me I'm not good enough To move on
Chorus: I need to find me something new I'm a victim to Endless productivity I'm growing up eventually But that means I gotta go Had time, but didn't come prepared Why am I so scared? Makes sense it has to end The hardest part is saying goodbye If I stop, then who am I?
Verse 2: Set my sights on a scheduled and stable goal Now I'm blind to progression, gotta fill that hole Can't I stay here where I at least have control For a while?
Now's the time that we pack up and graduate Familiarity and comfort helped me concentrate I'm not ready to level up yet; I'd rather wait That's my style
Chorus: I need to find me something new I'm a victim to Endless productivity I'm growing up eventually But that means I gotta go Had time, but didn't come prepared Why am I so scared? Makes sense it has to end The hardest part is saying goodbye If I stop, then who am I?
Verse 3 (Songco): Started played music with nothing But a curiosity with strumming On a guitar, tape recorder that i used Take the lyrics down and turn them into something Now I’m tryna do this for a living Now my brain is being less forgiving Never want projects to end, because it sets a precedent Of whether I am losing or I’m winning But when you take away reception analytics Will you listen to your critic or your intuition? Will you see it as a summit you can’t climb past? Or as a milestone cemented in a time passed? The data points claiming that you hit your ceiling are skewed Music is a lifetime and fulfilling for you So take a bit to renew, then get back in the groove Cuz there’s a whole lot of living to do
Chorus: I'll find me something new I'm a victim to Endless productivity I'm growing up eventually But that means I gotta go Had time, but didn't come prepared Why am I so scared? Makes sense it has to end The hardest part is saying goodbye If I stop, then who am I?Friends Theme Song but your wife left you for another woman (parody)Ben Visini2022-04-21 | Subscribe! youtube.com/channel/UCDbB0-DwLhT_Ihabb9QaT6A?sub_confirmation=1

00:00 Intro 00:58 I Need Therapy 6:32 This Song is Totally About You 10:53 Please Clap on 2 & 4 16:27 Kinky 20:32 Complaint (Uncensor Hentai) 26:13 I'm Not Hot Enough
LYRICS A simple smile takes my brain for a mile Latching onto you for a while Our story writes itself whenever I feel alone Easily overblown A bridge made from the small connection that was shown
Feelings grow as I fall like dominos These thoughts turn me into someone I don't wanna know God I miss when you were just a friend to me I once had identity Feeling parallel from who I used to be
Cause I've got a mountain from what used to be a hill I've got a solo from what used to be a fill I've got an issue from what used to be your absence from my dreams My head is bursting at its seams I'm quickly losing self-esteem
A lack of text makes me a nervous mess What you're up to now is anyone's guess You must hate me, trust me, I know myself best You must've gotten bored It's been 5 minutes - I can't take this anymore
Now I've got a decade from what used to be a week I've got a flood from what used to be a creek I've got a podcast from what used to be a man with common sense I can't handle this suspense The microscopic turns immense
I've got applause from what used to be a clap I've got finished lyrics I've got a shoe from what used to be whatever the fuck shoes are made of All the joking that I do I only momentarily forget you
Oh no you say You're not this way You have self control You are either the Messiah Or you're full of bull
So out of touch, so out of reach A sentence turns into a speech A single word sticks out in bold It changes all of what was told
I'm undersleeping, and yet I always overdream Fully aware just how ludicrous I seem I understand and I understate how much I realize That I'm feeling overwhelmed because I overanalyze

LYRICS: Watching in the dark The contrast is so stark Candlelit reflections Leave a lasting mark I don't want to sleep Something here feels so right By the eight candles By the lights
Streets are quiet and still Room is slightly chilled Warmed up by these small flames Feeling so fulfilled Reminisce the years Grateful that I'm here tonight Through the window See me sitting by the lights
And the feeling amplifies As each night passes me by While I stare I wouldn't dare Ruin a moment as perfect as this Menorah-lit bliss
Troubles are ignored Stay forevermore Now I have a connection I've seldom felt before Take this beauty in Marveling at such a sight In the darkness I stay by the lights Yes on Chanukah I stay by the lights
And the feeling amplifies As each night passes me by While I stare I wouldn't dare Ruin a moment as perfect as this Menorah-lit bliss

I'm anything but consistent I've known it since my first set That I can't keep this up The one thing that I love
It's been a couple weeks since I've done a single thing I wanted to get up but something stopped that from happening (It's me!) Nothing going on, nothing in my head Losing my connections, losing all my cred I don't wanna disappear but nothing new is going here Someone help me out
Chorus
I need new content Does anyone want it? Am I wasting my time Running through the gauntlet Of making new art When I can't even start With a single damn line? I'm out of motivation I'm out of motivation
Verse 2
My chest and stomach are clenching All the panic's gonna make me die Is it that, or is every meal That I've eaten in the last week been deep fried? - oh, no, that's it Leaving me so lethargic Logically I've gotta eat more greens But when's the last time you've been sad as fuck And said "I want broccoli" Self-destructing Hell, I'm running Someone help me out
Chorus
I need new content Does anyone want it? Am I wasting my time Running through the gauntlet Of making new art When I can't even start With a single damn line? I'm out of motivation I'm out of motivation
Where did the fire go? Fuck all, how would I know? It comes and goes I hold on While I can I'm worried you'll forget God damn, the internet Relentless poison hive mind Got me thinking that
Chorus (last time)
I need new content Does anyone want it? Am I wasting my time Running through the gauntlet Of making new art When I can't even start With a single damn - I'm out of motivation I'm out of motivation
I want my music to be my vocation But being a creator has an implication I'm not even big and still I feel the pressure That I am lesser, give me my validation Can't be like my heroes with this deviation No one here knows me or my inner machinations How do I expect myself to make Anything without a break Or some god damn motivation
It feels good to do something It feels good to do anything at all It feels good to do something To look back and say That that was something I made That's a song that I wrote and I played And I'll let you all know When I'm motivatedhey ive uhBen Visini2021-11-07 | Check out the Kickstarter here, it launches tomorrow on November 8th! kickstarter.com/projects/benvisini/this-albums-totally-about-you-a-ben-visini-comedy-album Signing up for notifications goes a long way so thank you!

LYRICS: The water that falls from the sky Comes from clouds way up high Which takes it from the oceans and lakes A dumping spot for sewers Which go back to your home And fill up every time you pee What I'm saying is this: Rain is just piss
The downpour for these flowers Just a gloomy golden shower That Ferrari hydroplaning into that Ford Technically engaging in watersports Percentage is small, but true And if rain is pee, the reverse works too So, no - You didn't just see me piss my pants I technically just made it rain Yeah I just made it rain Look, I've got a bladder problem
(these are the official lyrics - some lines were changed in this live performance and are not reflected here) LYRICS: “Look at him go” You’re thinking as you’re watching me, used to be A chubby freaky nerd in school Well look at me now I’m no longer in school Yes, I was told This career is a battlefield, I should yield I will never be a star Well I hate to admit, but I think, they were right I’ll never go far
And it’s so tough to make a living off of doing what I do And I know I’ll never make it Even with luck, even with skill I could still never climb the highest hill And that's that
I’m not hot enough To make a living off of playing music I’m not nearly hot enough To make a living off of playing music That’s why they tell me “Ben, oh dear You’d do so much better as a music engineer” Thanks Yeah they make more money, But that’s not why you think I should stop It’s cause you think I’m not hot
Have you ever seen a hot music engineer before? I didn't think so Alright, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please turn it back on Thank you
And there’s everyone Who is telling me that I should quit, stay and sit Can’t see my face in the pit, no You might think people pity me cause they feel sorry They are Well life is an audition You need confidence, that’s why this song is meant To be my way of fishing All of you for compliments Give them to me - now
I don’t care if you fake it I’m so fragile that I’ll take it Anything to distract from the fact I’ll never make it All because
I’m not hot enough To make a living off of playing music I’m not nearly hot enough To make a living off of playing music Part of the product is the sexuality You can’t make a living on a good personality Which I also don’t have But why get one now? The point of it would be lost Yeah
And I said No, you don’t know what’s best for me Though, I appreciate the honesty In telling me
That I’m not hot enough To make a living off of playing music I’m not nearly hot enough To make a living off of playing music I’m not hot enough To make a living off of playing music Who cares if I am hot enough My life is mine, I’ll live it how I choose it
Cause I am smart enough To make a living off of playing music I am talented enough To make a living off of playing music I am strong enough To make a living off of playing music Just gotta be confident enough To make a living, to make a living, to make itThe Video Cant Stop Until I Learn WonderwallBen Visini2021-09-28 | Subscribe! youtube.com/channel/UCDbB0-DwLhT_Ihabb9QaT6A?sub_confirmation=1

LYRICS: I'm 6 feet tall And you might think that I'm not Because guys tend to say that a lot Exactly 6 feet tall Not an inch above or below On a dating app Must think I'm full of crap That I'm rounding up to look hot Trust me, it wouldn't help my case, 'cause Have you seen my god damn face?
Have you seen my god damn face? My god damn face Have you seen my god damn face? My god damn face Lying 'bout my height wouldn't help my case 'Cause even that perfect height can't replace My god damn face (I'm 6 feet tall, okay?

LYRICS: I've been pressured to feel like it's time, it's time For me to finally go and post a shirtless pic online
I'm not gonna fucking do that, no Do that, no Do that, no, no, no I'm not gonna fucking do that, no At least not right now When I see bodies looking like me, I'm fine But when it's mine No choice but to decline I might feel up to it one day But if not, that's okay Yeah, yeahWhat Happens When I Dont Look at the Piano When I PlayBen Visini2021-09-07 | Subscribe! youtube.com/channel/UCDbB0-DwLhT_Ihabb9QaT6A?sub_confirmation=1

2 years strong of writing a song on my birthday, it's almost a tradition! Here's the other one youtube.com/watch?v=8bsKY8GFkw0
Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini Recording & Editing by Ben Visini
LYRICS: I'm back at my parent's house And I'm feeling strange Not even caring now 'Cause some things never change I once was naive Thought that I'd get on track But it's an indisputable fact
I'm still a dumbass Just like before I'm still a dumbass Consistent with my lore I thought my thoughts would be grown up But only dumbass ones have shown up I'm still not really sure how to feed myself I don't know what a 401k is And I've missed every payment on my car I just turned 25, how've I made it this far?
Being a dumbass And now you know That I'm a dumbass And still so far to go Before I can finally look back and say The genius of tomorrow is the dumbass motherfucker of yesterday
That phrase made no sense I guess I can't take offense I'm still a dumbass And I'm here to stayThis Song Contains No EsBen Visini2021-08-17 | No Es. The ultimate lyrical lipogram. Let's do this.
