Ben Folds - Kylie From Connecticut (Live in Studio)

[catthedd]

How did he get Tyrol from Battlestar Galactica to play bass?

[blindfisch56]

Have any of you actually been to a Ben Folds concert before? He makes shit up all the time. More than half of it sounds like actual produced work.

[fillXinXblankXstares]

I love how people think he really made that up on the fly. xD He's exceptionally talented, but that's just a bit out there!

[platypusrex]

For crying out loud, he was joking.

[halmjamin]

no way did he just make this up like that

[JonathanMartin42]

It really gets good at 2:30.

[djreibread]

Still my favorite song on the album.

[djreibread]

I can't find sheets for this song =/

It bums me out.

[tikalal]

How can you people think he was serious at the beginning! He wrote the song before the shoot!

[joeyskatesremz]

Ya I know, I thought it was a pretty cocky remark from him

[clemsontigers90]

@joeyskatesremz he was joking.  on the real. no doubt about it.

[Bullsboy94]

damn....that's a nice piano. i played a baldwin once.

[cameroncrazy915]

He played this at the Sydney opera house last night. Unbelievable show and this was one of the highlights

[jordanandkylie1]

omg my name is kylie and i sounds so weird hearing my name in a song!!! luv it

[BlakeimusMaximus]

Wasn't too impressed with the new album as a whole, but this is actually my favourite song of his.

[broadwaylover365]

a kid did this for our talent show, and he was AMAZING!!!

but he was forced to cut most of the piano interlude since we had a time constraint. ): oh well......

[djreibread]

One of my favorite songs off the new album.

Along with Hiroshima and Cologne.

[bucjason]

Isn't it nice that he loves his piano so much that he puts a blanket over it to keep it warm? :)

[NickoliasCaville]

I hope thats not what you think its for..

[LauraLikesCameras]

lol

[clemsontigers90]

@bucjason, guitarist put blankets over their amps to make them quieter. You place a mic under the blanket so it picks up full sound, but the amp itself has less effect on the total sound you hear. All you hear is the speakers, preserving the integrity of the "mix". That way they can hear exactly what they want through the monitors. Although im not sure if thats why he did it.

[Lacey131313]

amazing that he made this up on the spot, basically.

[goshoops23]

He didn't. He's joking around.

[Lacey131313]

i don't know. he seems serious.

[messagesforbenfolds]

he's so joking. I'm sure of it.

He had already written the song before the Cologne video shoot, and the next day they were shooting the live songs for the album dvd. He's definitely joking around.

[Robogabriel]

Hard to believe, the lyrics sounded like they were ad-libbed, mostly because they don't rhyme. But still, I am amazed how skilled this man is that he can write a song like this in his spare time and release it the next day.

[dmb6210]

Yeah, he's kidding. These are the lyrics from the album exactly. He is amazing though. And this video was only posted about a month ago and this album's been out for 6 months or so.

[Lacey131313]

just bc the video wasn't posted 'til a month ago means nothing. they mite've just gotten it. seriously?

[alsteelwing]

Actually, he did change the last verse from "It's all coming back, as she's reading old letters that she'd hid in the closet, with the pictures she cherished that she kept to herself, for a good thirty years." to "It's back on her mind, as she's reading old letters, that she'd hid in the closet, with the pictures she'd cherished, that she never showed a soul, for the last 30 years."

[rachel24442]

uummm lyrics dont need to rhyme to be good... ben is amazing

[bennissimov]

shut up

[megadeth773]

@goshoops23 2 years later.... He knows his piano but the rest is tasteful improvisation

[allforleyna80]

i freaking love ben folds! and this song!

[Sepharite]

Cool. Was this from his DVD?
