Big Mattress Song of the Week
Breaking Benjamin- Forget It
(As heard in the films National Treasure and Band Camp and the TV series Smallville)

Vocalist Ben Burnley: “It's very cool-both structurally and melodically. It's subtle, but listen closely and you'll hear the song move up a half-step every verse and chorus. As a vocalist, that's really challenging because it forces me to sing in a different key every time. It's definitely unusual, and had it not been for Billy Corgan, I probably never would've tried something like that.”
“When I heard this song...It reminded me of my exhusband when he got hooked on Meth.And its like reading his mind and looking into our life. I cried like a baby and now its my favorite song. I write poetry alot and this is a Hallmark in music.... When it gets to the part about a page in a spiral note book, its almost like they had read my journal.It still gives me goosebumps. Thank you so much for comming up with this brilliant song. The very , very best to you on every project that comes your way....awesome voice!!!!!!!! Cant wait to see what you come up with next..

It's a crime you let it happen to me
Nevermind, I'll let it happen to you
Out of mind, forget it there's nothing to lose
But my mind and all the things I wanted
Everytime I get it I throw it away
It's a sign, I get it, I wanna stay
By the time I lose it I'm not afraid
I'm alive but I can Surely fake it
How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me
You're the part of me that I don't wanna see
Forget it
There's a place I see you follow me
Just a taste of all that might come to be
I'm alone but holding breath you can breathe
To question every answer counted
Just fade away
Please let me stay
Caught in your way
Forget it
Just fade away
Please let me stay
Caught in your way
It's a crime you let it happen to me
Out of mind, I love it, easy to please
Nevermind, forget it, just memories
On a page inside a spiral notebook
Just fade away
Please let me stay
Caught in your way
I can live forever here
Forget it
How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me
You're a part of me that I don't wanna see
I can live forever here

What a really great song. Too bad it's wrapped around a really bad time for that woman.
