Your Most Valuable Possession Lyrics
"Good morning, Mr. Ben. It's about 6:30, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Ah, just laying here in the bed: half awake, half asleep, thinking about you. I was, uh, wondering if you were looking after your most valuable possession - your mind. I was thinking about John Glenn, his space journey and all. They said that when you're in space you lose muscle mass . . . and the body mass . . . and I wondered if there was any end to it. Or whether if you didn't exercise in space, how long it would be for you were just a head, or a mind, and have no body or arms; you would have them but you couldn't use them. I was wondering if, uh, if your body mass would drop to a certain level, and then it would stop right there and keep whatever you needed to use your mind, because it would still be working. 30 seconds remaining...anyway, I was just pondering that. What do you think about that? I hope everything is going all right, I may wake up here in a little while and forget what I was thinking about."
this is such an awesome idea for a song, such a funny message and he kept it. its cool
That's totally something my dad would ask me, if I was taking care of my mind. It's a very dad question.
From what I've read in interviews and stuff, Ben and his dad are cool. It sounds like Ben has a lot of respect for his dad.
i thought this was such a cool thing to do. I'm not too sure about Ben's relationship with his dad, but this just seems like such a special thing to have about your dad to share with the world. His dad seems pretty coherent for just pretty much waking up, so that is cool also.
whoa, thats such a cool thing to do. and what a message, i mean i dont know anybody who i can talk to like that. this song defines a new cool.
I love this. It's very unique and human... I don't know why it makes me so sad.
