August Benjamin's latest release, "Surrender," is the bitter truth you find, when protecting your heart isn't enough. Beginning as a song of wishing for a clean goodbye, it gradually reveals feelings you can't keep under the surface. "Now it's time to lay my weapons down / And leave my armour back there on the ground". Benjamin knows the danger of wanting someone. Knowing they don't want you back. Yes, pain, but also tenderness and acceptance in the last moments. "Surrender" is about finally seeing what was real, letting the heart heal, and carrying the memory with grace.
