The birth of Philip Sparke’s second son, Benjamin, was the inspiration for composing Ballad for Benny. A short calm introduction leads to the main ballad theme, a gentle waltz melody. Following the work’s climax in which the complete band plays the main theme the sound fades and the piece ends in calm and serenity.

Die Geburt seines zweiten Sohnes, Benjamin, inspirierte Philip Sparke zu der Komposition Ballad for Benny. Die Aufregung und Spannung dieses großen Ereignisses drückte Sparke in diesem Werk aus, das ruhig beginnt, sich - getrennt durch eine Überleitung - zwei Mal zu einem Höhepunkt steigert, um schließlich von der gesamten Band ruhig beendet zu werden.
