In this week's episode of Behind the Song, we welcome Lula Street Records artist Ben Compton as he breaks down his raw and contemplative song "Solomon". Tracing the Biblical story of the legendary king, Ben gives a raw take on living under the shadow of greatness as the son of the mighty David. From wondering how he can ever measure up to contemplating his future legacy capped by building the great temple, the song captures Solomon's hopes, pressures, and eventual missteps.

Ben pulls back the curtain on his modern musical influences, production approach, and the timeless human themes that shaped his perspective on this complex biblical figure. Join us for an illuminating look behind the creative process for this track off Ben's concept album "Storyteller."

Ben Compton is a husband, father and pastor from Wisconsin. He loves to tell stories through songs and connect with people where they’re at. He grew up as a pastors kid in a Pentecostal church in Michigan which shaped his love for gospel and soulful music, and naturally country music was always on the radio on the way home from church.

Ben has created a unique, fun, and honest sound with his music, and he makes it for his kids to listen to as they grow up. He hopes it’s something they go to when he’s gone.
