Hiro's Song - Ben Folds

[Daviysoh]

One of my favorite song! Thanks for uploading!

[FenBolds]

I would've given anything to be there.

[LAballin24]

I heard him play this on a radio station the morning of 9/11. Really surreal

[gusterguy01826]

This guy could put on a concert with 100% non-album tracks. Between all his b-sides (songs like this, morgan davis), non album singles (bitches aint shit, etc), fake Way to Normal songs (Bitch Went Nuts, Way to Normal), older b-sides (Eddie Walker, Emaline), popular covers (Video Killed the Radio Star, Barrytown, Get Your Hands Off of My Woman) and even great stuff from his demo tape (Lydian Song, Half Asleep), he could put on a consistent concert with nothing from his proper studio albums.

When was this?

[BenShirai]

I'm pretty sure it was right after the "Rockin The Suburbs" album came out. Lemme check when that was. 2001, holy crap, that was a long time a go.

[TheMrDobbins]

[mluna785]

FUCK! I love this song. I almost forgot about it. I haven't heard it for about a year.

[twiki2099]

i wish he would play at starbucks here it would of been so cool if he was playing in starbucks in traflager sqaure when me ane me mates went there last year before we went to see cabaret lol

[jdude101]

It is also on the Rockin' the Suburbs single along with "One Down" which is also not on an in-studio release. Only Ben Folds Live.

[BenShirai]

Yes. Also included on that e.p. are -the 80's punk "Make Me Mommy" which is awesome live and "The Secret Life Of Morgan Davis" a dark cabaret-like song about the underbelly of the suburbs. I like the Morgan Davis track a lot and I've never heard it anywhere else. Not live -not anywhere. It's an awesome song though.

[rubmybelly8917]

He played Morgan Davis at a show in Charleston SC a few months ago... it was amazing.

[qwertydeluxe]

where can i find the Morgan Davis song?

[BenShirai]

It's on an e.p. with and nowhere else that I know of.

[angrynorway]

Its on the Rockin' The Suburbs cd single.

[WillyDavidK]

This is probably my favorite ben folds song or one of them. It's just sad because most people don't know it. The only album that I know of with this song is Songs for Goldfish and it's a live recording (still amazing tho). I wish I could of been here for this!!!

[invaderpymm619]

is he working at that coffee place when he plays this?

wtf, whats with the apron and small crowd?

[adderockXR]

The music for this song is in the rocking the suburbs piano book but I have seen or heard Ben actually play it before. Thanks for uploading!

[Frostyb0y]
