This song was written by Harris Meisel, the father of award winning children's music artist, Ben Meisel (Dr. Ben). In this recording, Dr. Ben adapted his father's song so that it might be shared with others. "It's Been Real" captures the poignant reality that life is finite. And that, despite life's many challenges and our inevitable human faults, one might still be able to say, "It's Been Real". A song that is a meaningfully powerful way to say "Goodbye" to someone we have loved deeply. It is no accident that Harris Meisel requested of his son that this song be the one played at his funeral.
