“Baby Benjamin (I Miss Ya)” is the title of the first official single released from American musician 'Adam Benjamin'. In previous years, the musician has released two full-length albums and uploaded a number of songs onto the internet via the likes YouTube and soundcloud. But he has never officially released any of those songs or albums to mainstream media and other music platforms until now. The reason for his first official release is due to the nature of the song as all proceeds from the track will go to the “Make-A-Wish Foundation”.
The song is a true story about 'Josh Benjamin' the older brother of 'Adam Benjamin' who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of three and died when he was only eight years old. The track is a tribute to his brother and is a heartfelt message from the Riot! In the Boulevard rhythm guitarist who only got to spent a brief few years with his brother before he passed away.

The song will be released on March 5, 2017 through a variety of different platforms and will be support from record label 'Five Pesky Kids' with all proceeds from the song going to the aforementions 'Make-A-Wish Foundation'.



“Baby Benjamin (I Miss Ya)”

“I was born on a sunny march eve
To a Las Vegas couple that needed me
See my older brother was diagnosed at three
But I never heard him ask god, why me?
I got to spend four years with him
Taught me to walk, talk and even swim
And I never got to say how much I appreciated him
But I guess this is why I wrote this

Maybe I was so naïve
To assume he'd always be with me
I know my mom and dad never once told me
That little Josh was dying
I was there for hospital trips
From wheelchairs and walkers to morphine drips
And I just wish they were more equipped
To explain what was going on with him

Baby Benjamin is what you'll always be
The greatest big brother there has ever been
And it hurts so much that you're missing me
Just as much as I miss ya
Baby Benjamin is what you'll always be
The greatest big brother in history
And it hurts so much that you're missing me
Just as much as I am missing ya

Not a day goes by when I don't think of you
And wondering what you'd be up to
If the world hadn't taken you away too soon
Before you'd had a chance to live

Mom and Dad had a baby girl called Lucy
I love her with every ounce of me
She never met you but I always make it clear
That I'll never be her number one big brother around here
For as long as your memory will live on
I'll continue to champion you as the number one
The greatest boy that lived

Not a day goes by when I don't think of you
And wondering what you'd be up to
If the world hadn't taken you away too soon
Before you'd had a chance to live

Baby Benjamin is what you'll always be
The greatest big brother there has ever been
And it hurts so much that you're missing me
Just as much as I miss ya
Baby Benjamin is what you'll always be
The greatest big brother in history
And it hurts so much that you're missing me
Just as much as I am missing ya”

Dustyn: Oh, Adam...this song really touched my heart 😥💔 I had absolutely no idea about your brother. I know you must get this all the time and it doesn't really help but I am sorry for your and your family's loss. I think it's brilliant how you've decided to make this your first official single. It really drives home the fact that this really holds strong sentiment to you. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a charity that not only myself and the rest of Weekend are closely involved with, but the label too. We will do whatever we can to help you raise that money.

Adam: Thank you Dustyn. It's been a tough road and some days are better than others, but it's still always gonna be there in the forefront of my mind. I thought it was a great idea to raise a little extra money and give my brother a tribute in the process. I thank you greatly for supporting this, it's not something you had to do but I'm extremely grateful for the support that you and the boys and everybody else involved with the label has given towards this.
