Benny Fisher’s new single Teenage Dream floats onto airwaves on 15 July. The song highlights the typical well-intentioned and loving advice parents give their teenage children.
“Find a good book to read,” “Play as a team” “Are you having trouble with bullies? Well, try and ignore them.” “Er… yeah thanks mum, easier said than done when they’ve got me in a headlock!”
One key universal message is to be true to yourself (“Don’t forget that it’s beautiful just being who you are.”) The irony here, of course, is that teenagers often have no idea who they are!
So ‘Teenage Dream’ is a song that embraces the beautiful, messy, and mysterious search for our identities.
Does this all sound a little heavy?
Well, you won’t notice, because the whole song is as light as a fluffy omelette paired with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
With his signature sound of warm synths, piano, and acoustic guitar, Benny has crafted a soothing and satisfying cure for the summertime blues.
Whether your teenage years are still ahead of you or long gone, it doesn’t matter. The new Benny Fisher single is the perfect invitation to keep your teenage dreams alive.

Teenage Dream by Benny Fisher – Lyrics
Rollerskates, Rollerball
One day soon, you’ll show em all
When you dream a teenage dream, will he be there?
Hey kid with the runny nose.
Is it your fever that grows?
When you dream a teenage dream, will she be there?
Mother, mother, mother, said take no heed of the bullies and squares
Find a good book to read.
Chase your dream up to the stars
And don’t forget that it’s beautiful just being who you are.
Teenage Dream X4
My mother said, to make it rhyme
Play as a team, yeah, kick it on down the line
Chase that ball, up to the stars
And don’t forget that it’s beautiful just being who you are.
Teenage Dream X8
