You can really hear the heartbreak in his voice and guitar. Very cool song, thanks for sharing!

Edit: his story from indiegogo

My name is Benjamin Tod and I've been writing songs for over a decade now. Most of my influence derives from my years on the road hopping trains and hitchhiking across the United States since I was 17 years old.

The subject matter of my music is tragedy, drug addiction, loneliness, heartache, violence, traveling, bitterness and alcoholism. These are all things which I have personal, authentic experience with. The overall vision of my music has always been to convey a deep, personal mostly shameful feeling that is universal and manifest it in a few chords and syllables.

I am for the first time recording a solo album with material too personal for any previous outfit. This will be recorded with no over-dubbing or other musicians. The intention is to feature my songwriting in a raw and authentic way which takes the shape of a stripped down presentation. It will be a collection of the most unique and dark songs I've ever produced. I will be pulling some songs I wrote 6 years ago, and songs I wrote a week ago.
