Ben Sures is a storyteller. On his poignant, natural-sounding acoustic tenth album, The Story That Lived Here, the Edmonton-based songwriter, guitarist and author sings stories told to him by friends and fans and songs written by his own heart – including “End Of The World.”
This track is an earnest folk song, buoyed by gentle mandolin and strings, which captures Sures’ acceptance of the new reality which we experienced at the onset of the pandemic.
“In case it’s the end of the world, I’m gonna have a cinnamon bun In case it’s all over, I’m gonna have some fun“
Sures combines lighthearted nihilism with bemused empathy and a self-awareness that brings hope and comfort. Stream his new track “End Of The World” below.
