music discovery on our musicto Monday playlist
Each week, our global creator community listens to tracks sent through our musicto artist submission form. And each week we add our favorites to our musicto Monday playlist. With every update of this music discovery playlist, we invite one musicto curator from our social network to choose a band or musician from our artist submissions to put in the spotlight. This time, music curator Maria puts the beautiful Ben Livermore in the spotlight.

Playing alongside Artists such as Jack Johnson, Ziggy Alberts, Pete Murray and many more.
Now based in Hawaii, Ben writes and produces music that inspires and uplifts – exploring themes of unconditional love, devotion, gratitude and a connection to something greater than oneself.

Maria has spent a joyful many moments with the river of rhythms that Ben has gifted us. The words that follow are inspired by the warmth and wonder that moves through his creations…
at the bottom of the body
you are the sunlight shape
within sound of bees wings
hearts beat
within sound of bees wings
is heartbreak
when our own wings are found
to know the skin and the heart with gratitude is profound
thanks can be given for presence each day
thanks can be given for a vibrant reality
thanks can be given and taken away
so I am thankful I learned how to pray in my own way
thankful for the heart to connect to and the skin to give grace to
when you are the sunlight shape
i will remember you as the endless light you gave and still give away
with no conditions
you are the sunlight shape
