The Filipino band encourages listeners to reach for their dreams and goals in life despite dealing with personal tribulations.
Ben&Ben releases yet another inspiring tune that speaks to all of us who’ve faced tough times in life. They’ve just released an acoustic version of their new song, “Courage.” It’s a heartfelt dedication to all the dreamers out there struggling to find their inner strength in this sometimes unforgiving world.
The band has had its share of challenges over the past few months, and they’ve been through some tough times.
“These valleys have been the inspiration for Courage. We realized that, as visceral as the feeling of hopelessness may be for us, we wanted to channel it into an uplifting piece of music because it is something a lot of people are going through now but have a hard time verbalizing.”

This stripped-down version of “Courage” is a testament to their roots and the simplicity of acoustic guitars and warm melodies.
“We went back to our roots for this one, wherein we let the reverberations of the acoustic guitars envelope the harmonies we did for the vocals. We kept it simple for the first release of Courage because we wanted to get the message of the song to our listeners as soon as possible.”

It’s a confident step back to their intimate and intuitive style, one that reflects their journey as individuals and artists. It’s not about being perfect or always winning. It’s about holding on to perseverance and courage to make the world a better place.
Ben&Ben plans to record and arrange the final version of the song in the coming weeks. This is a unique moment in their career, as they share the stripped-down version of the track with their fans before building it up together as a band.
Awards
Ben&Ben has been nominated for seven awards at the 2023 Awit Awards, including Song of the Year and Music Video of the Year.
