[tommy5586]

[tawnycoral]

My daughter is also named after this song, she is 3 1/2.

[gofast480]

Rock the fuck outta those drums dale

[foomanchueighty2]

Damn, I thought I was original by naming my little girl Emaline. I love all of you, very much.

[chromium73]

This song reminds me of high school



[KristyB5]

I heard it was originally supposed to be on their self-titled, but they omitted it because the studio track has - GASP - guitar!

[Tequill4]

THIS is the first video after a long time in youtube without a single negative voting :) speaks for itself ;)

[EUCvintage58]

My 11-year-old daughter is named after this song,too.

[tichyha]

This song NEEDS to be on an album.

[woody0606]

@tichyha It is. look for 'Naked Baby Photos'

[br3ttsmith]

@tichyha There's also a great version on the Ben Folds Live album.

[MrMattreed77]

my favourite song, ever, only found out how much it meant after i met my emaline about 12 years after i first heard it, like a bloody prophecy.

[mbearsRscary]

@faketrout Our daughter was born in November and we named her after this song too.

[DrNHand1994]

omg ben looks soooooooo young

[tikalal]

Here he plays it like I do. In the Ben Folds Live version he has it perfected. I can't figure it out for the life of me. He even sings it so much better there.

[firedancer414]

@tikalal close chord voicings. i'm not really a piano player, but don't play octaves in the bass, play fifths, right below middle C. the second chord you need to use D/F# inversion in the bass. good luck

[colgjs]

One of his best songs IMO. The version on his "live" album is awesome.

[q0zi]

So 90s

[suburiboy]

before this performance, folds mentions that the original recording of this song was not included on 'whatever and ever' because they put a guitar in it. That made me smile and frown at the same time. this song is awesome.

[Dynastesc]

@suburiboy The original was by Ben's first band  Majosha. watch?v=egfRrb-thl8

[suburiboy]

@Dynastesc Thanks, that was very good, and i am well corrected. I guess on the program he was referring to the version on naked baby photos.

[faketrout]

My daughter was born Friday and we named her after this song.

[drthmonkey42]

@faketrout Do you pronounce it like they do?

[drotis]

@faketrout such a pretty name. awesome.

[KristyB5]

@faketrout I HEART this!! It will be my baby girl's name, too, if I ever get one! It's beautiful. :)

[two1946ers]

We named our daughter after this song 8 years ago....beautiful name for beautiful girls!! Congrats!

[Jematthe]

@faketrout I plan on naming a daughter someday after this song!

[redheadalchemist]

@Jematthe I did! She's almost 8. :)

[RedColdKiller]

Such an amazing song. Ben Folds is god of the pianos. All that is ivory and key-shaped fears his masterful hands.

Thanks for the vid :D great quality
