Benjamin Tod has always been a voice for the ones life didn’t go easy on, the workers with tired hands, the dreamers with more bruises than victories, the people who learned resilience not by choice, but by necessity. His new single “Hell I Have” doesn’t just tell that story it breathes it.
“The summers in the south keep you drooling from the mouth / But at least you got a roof overhead”
There’s no glamor here, no sugar coating just truth baked into heat, hardship, and hard-earned perspective. As the chorus rolls in, Tod’s voice cuts with the weary pride of someone who’s had to survive to sing:
“Losing really shouldn’t be so bad / You never seen the kind of hell I have.”
It’s clear who this song is for. In writing “Hell I Have,” Tod set out to give the underdogs a victory, even if it’s just a musical one. To him, the people who have struggled, fallen apart, gotten back up, and kept going are the backbone of this track, and country music itself. He’s not just singing about them, he’s singing for them. As Tod has expressed, this is a song for those who have “more scars than trophies,” for the ones who have crawled out of their own fires and come back forged instead of broken.
And beneath that message sits an even deeper truth, the state of country music today. Tod pushes back against the polished rush of modern trends, standing firmly for the writers and musicians who refuse to trade authenticity for convenience. He sees this song as a reminder that the ones who’ve lived what they write will endure long past the momentary hype. The gold rush may glitter, but the real ones remain.
“Hell I Have” feels like a challenge, a declaration, and a celebration of survival all at once.
It’s a song that doesn’t ask for understanding, it demands it. Because some stories aren’t told from comfort. They’re told from scar tissue.
