#NeverAgain is a song I wrote as a response to the school shooting in Parkland FL at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School along with other similar tragedies across the US. It took me a while to put my thoughts down in a way that wasn’t preachy, I just tried to get inside the heads of students and parents who have been affected by these events. #NeverAgain was recorded at Troubador Studios with the help of Patrick Malloy (guitars, bass, and vocals), Mike Lynch (organ), Geoff Lewis (drums), and Jon Hermann (engineer). I wrote the lyrics and music and sang and played ukulele on the recording. Please help us find solutions to gun violence in the United States, thank you.

MAKE A VIDEO OF #NEVER AGAIN – A PROJECT FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOMS
Teachers, are you looking for a creative tech activity for your middle or high school students? I would like to share #NeverAgain with those most affected by such tragedy; your students. I will provide you with the sound file and lyrics and would like to see what inventive video project your classroom can create using the lyrics and music of the song for inspiration. Videos will be posted to YouTube and on this page to be shared with others. Please email me at benhassenger@gmail.com for details.

Here’s an acoustic version of the song played by The Ukulele Kings
