at first, the song sounds like a sweet one, but if you listen to the lyrics it's a really sad story about growing old and falling victim to the glory days and living in them completely deluded. Ben's such a genius and doesn't get a quarter of the respect he really deserves, but he still goes. THAT'S the definition of an artist. never giving up.
At first, I thought the first picture was actually Ben just frozen; as something he would do in shows. "Wow Ben is really good at keeping a frozen position, wait- is the picture moving? Wait... Dammit."
Ben again really you are the guy

Ben Folds definitely has a way with music and words. In my opinion this song is just one more masterpiece in a long line of masterpieces.

Man, I could hear this song over and over. It's my favorite Ben Folds song- classic-sounding, bittersweet, poetic.

I got the studio version. It sounds very old... Maybe even pre-Ben Folds Five.
