Armored Goosebump by Benne
published on
Title track from my official debut EP. Original is the title poem in Dutch, of the volume ‘Dit harnas van kippenvel’ by publishing house ‘kleine Uil’ in 2008. I wrote this poem in reaction to the book ‘The naked writing’ by my then teacher Nirav Christophe which was published in 2003 when I studied ‘Writing for performance’. Hope you like it. Thnks for the love!

Armored goosebump
This armor made of goosebumps doesn’t fit
You’ll see right through me when I get hit
can’t hide my hands
can’t make demands
this armor made of goosebumps doesn’t fit
This armor made of goosebumps’ not for me
feeling naked don’t set me free
won’t get me might no
won’t make me right so
this armor made of goosebumps’ not for me
And all this time
we keep on rhyming
Let me howl my genius down to the streets
I need my vanity
my damn profanity
forcing me to own my shit is no mean feat
you’re aiming way to high
preventing me to fly
my love my friend
why won’t you understand
This armor made of goosebumps’ way to tight
I need to move when I get lost in fights
can hardly breathe
no underneath
this armor made of goosebumps’ way to tight
This armor made of goosebumps is your thing
it is the latest craze to which you cling
seemingly free
restricting me
this armor made of goosebumps is your thing
And all this time
we can’t stop rhyming
Let me howl my genius down to the streets
I need my vanity
my damn profanity
forcing me to own my shit is no mean feat
you’re aiming way to high
preventing me to fly
Let me howl my genius down to the streets
I need my vanity
my damn profanity
forcing me to own my shit is no mean feat
you’re aiming way to high
preventing me to fly
my love my friend
Why don’t I understand

Wonderfully intense songwriting. Really like the way you execute the vocals. A few days ago I listened to a playlist of your songs - there is a consistency of feel/ message that makes a great listen! Really nice tasteful music production by Martijn - as usual!

Comment by Bro ToeK
Very nicely written lyrically and the backing is so congruent with the vocal. Im sure you will have comparisons to Mr Cohen. Very similar in tone and feel.Great in my book! [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

Comment by Karim Manjra
Well polished track! Well done!
Comment by Gom Jabbar
I love a lyrics-driven, heavily self-aware song any day! Once it's out, I think it lends itself easily to a more modern remix as well. Good job!
Comment by James Marton
Beautiful piano tone and vocals. Kind of has a ballad/REM feel [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]
