» Behind The Track
Atlanta-born, Nashville-based singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Old Sea Brigade (Ben Cramer) shares new song “How It Works,” the first track from his forthcoming album and follow up to his acclaimed EP collaboration with fellow artist and friend Luke Sital-Singh, All The Ways You Sing In The Dark. The meditative, indie rock track was inspired from a snarky industry encounter and is about observing and accepting change around you.
Cramer explains, “I think in the music industry, there’s sometimes this false narrative that there are certain ‘gatekeepers’ that dictate artists careers. It can be a fairly toxic notion, especially when you’re trying to get your foot in the door as a young artist. I got an email once from some music industry person telling me, ‘that’s how it works.’ That email, particularly the line, sparked the idea for the song. I wrote the song with my close friend and frequent collaborator, Henry Brill. It was one of the last songs I wrote for the record and in some ways felt like the missing piece.”
Now, Old Sea Brigade is putting the finishing touches on his next full-length album, due out in 2021. More details to follow.

Lyrics:
"Will you wait in the cab
Or will you drive away
Put my faith in the moment
While I watch everything change
Because it’s not fair
They’re not your debts to pay
Sometimes I get nervous
And I don’t know what to say
You only know it’s leaving when it goes
That’s how it works
That’s just how it works
If it’s coming back nobody knows
That’s how it works
That’s just how it works
There’ll be no sleeping until it goes
That’s how it works
That’s just how it works
And how to fight the feeling nobody knows
You know it’s really coming down
When you can smell the exhaust
Still worry your laughter
Is a little bit forced
I’m learning to let go
I’m building a life
Now I can look at the scars
And not think of the knife
