Michael Benjamin - Strangers & Allies (Live From The Famous Goldwatch Studios )

Strangers & Allies - Live at The Famous Goldwatch Studios
There’s something raw and intimate about stripping a song back to its core and letting it breathe in a space filled with history and quiet echoes of the past. I had the chance to perform "Strangers & Allies" live on an upright piano at The Famous Goldwatch Studios in Berlin—a place that feels like it’s seen as many stories as the song itself holds.
This version is not about perfection but about connection. It's about capturing a moment, the weight of the keys, the atmosphere of the room, and the honesty that music brings when all else is stripped away.
"Strangers & Allies" holds a special place for me even though I’ve never performed it live. It’s a song about the spaces between us, the shared battles, and the unspoken bonds we form. This performance feels like sharing that story in its purest form.
I'd love for you to watch, listen, and let me know if and how it resonates with you.

Lyrics
in the valleys of our open wounds
we align
we collide

the secrets of our lost wars
are safe with us
we've been here before

and I take your love and I swallow it
and I take your heart
and I run with it
'till I can't get rid of it
'till I can't get rid of it
and I'll show you my everything

in the quiet of our conversation
you're letting me in
I'm letting you in

and I take your love and I swallow it
and I take your heart
and I run with it
'till I can't get rid of it
'till I can't get rid of it
and I'll show you my everything

I see the light hanging on a burning tree
I feel the cold beneath my feet
I untangle myself from the doctrine of my past
we'll never be strangers
we'll never be strangers
