一首后很久以前的歌 BenJelen的名字或許對于許多人來說還十分陌生。擁有英國與捷克混血血統。年紀輕輕的他音樂才華不容忽視。身為音樂創作人兼歌手，他具有彈奏鋼琴、吉他及小提琴等多樣才能。 Jelen是一個旅行者、學者、抒情詩人及音樂家。在他頻繁地從蘇格蘭遷移到英格蘭、德克薩斯、新澤西，最后到紐約的過程中，音樂一直伴隨著他。由于經常遷居，他從未組過自己的樂隊，而是自己練習鋼琴、小提琴和吉他彈奏。在上大學時（他取得了羅格斯大學生物學學位），他終于在和朋友偶爾參加演唱會時登臺演出。在每場演出中，Jelen都會把他的歌曲和鋼琴演奏融合起來，給臺下所有聽眾帶來了獨特的音樂。畢業以后，他搬到了曼哈頓，全身心地投入到音樂事業中。 2004年3月，Jelen推出了加入Maverick廠牌后的首張創作專輯《GiveItAllAway》（隨風而逝），顯示出了他作為一名音樂人所具有的才華。他自省式的歌曲中透出對新開始的樂觀和信心。在這張專輯中，Jelen籍由華麗的配器講述了一位詩人的故事。他的歌詞探討了奔放的熱情，激情冷卻后不變的仍是那份懷舊之情。以鋼琴伴奏為主，帶點流行搖滾樂風的創作，鋪陳出一張旋律性十足的專輯。整張大碟創造性地利用了非傳統性的音樂元素。班卓琴、弦樂以及凱爾特音樂貫穿始終，揉合了傳統的原創性和流行搖滾。 "Come On"記述了一段異地戀情的起起落落，"Slow Down"回顧了童年的純真，"Stay"表現的則是開始一段新戀情時的滿心歡愉，而翻唱搖滾音樂劇《HedwigandTheAngryInch》中的WickedLittleTown更顯露出Jelen優異獨具的品味。Ben Jelen的處女專輯收錄了一系列擁有深度內涵的歌詞、活潑的流行旋律及體現其純熟音樂技巧的歌曲。 and finally the silence looking out, looking back across the sky trying to find a meaning knowing that i just left it all behind still i smell a lingering softness where did she go, how did she go, i wanna wanna know i wanna know that she'll be coming here to me come on without you i'll never feel the love inside of me come on, you know that we belong come on, come on, come on, come on thinking back before her i never knew the meaning of alone still the flag is feeling foreign i live the day to escape into a phone speaking of a world not real then where did she go, how did she go, i wanna wanna know i wanna know that she'll be coming here to me come on without you i'll never feel the love inside of me come on, you know that we belong come on, come on, come on, come on cause shes sharp for kisses and my heart misses she's coming she's coming here to me i'm needing desiring to kiss her now i'm living for her breathing for her singing for her fairytale come on without you i'll never feel the love inside of me come on, you know that we belong come on, come on, come on, come on come on without you i'll never feel the love inside of me come on, come on, come on, come on come on
