Benedict J has released his latest single, “The Equation of Me Becoming We.” It’s about coming out of emotional isolation and getting back together. The record tells the story of a relationship pulled back from the edge when personal struggles are traded for a chance to rebuild as a team.
The song was written by Benedict J in two hours, and it is a turning point in his life. Basically, it’s a shift and an appreciation that love is a process of re-establishing trust, intimacy, and common purpose. The story doesn’t suggest reconciliation is an easy fix, but it does recognize the emotional distance that came before.
The numbers 13, 26, and 19 appear throughout the lyrics, and they are the birthdays of the 3 people who matter most to Benedict J. This gives the song meaning beyond the general theme of relationships. “The Equation of Me Becoming We” is an artwork rooted in personal experience. The journey of the track from isolation to inclusion is another layer of meaning in the expanding artistic story of Benedict J.
