@basicphenomenon - Ben Folds has more talent in his little finger than Marcy Playground put together.... and damn I'm glad he uses that finger to play piano.
@SlicedNToasted Rejoice bro! They may have never cracked the top 40 but they are known the world over. Hell, a few months ago Ben Folds himself played a show in Ireland.....IRELAND.
Forget the charts man, these guys have a worldwise fanbase.
omg so awesome my new fav song woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@emmykins64 Obviously the policeman and the band are on opposite side of a central gravitational force so no matter which side they are on it feels like they are right side up.
Just got back from the "Whip my Hair" video. Listened to this and whispered to myself "someday the good music will have more views than shit... someday."
you know, even vids like this that seem simple are extremely hard to create. on a side note, my bro loves this band.that is how i found out about them.
jesus this song is like my whole fucking childhood wrapped up in the fist 2 lines of this song, and now you can see me any sunday on tv playiing golf and laughing all the way to the bank. life is cruel but it all evens out , i know one day my day will come but untill the KISS MY ASS
That's probably was separated Ben Folds Five from the other acts in the late 1990's. It definitely went against the typical rock scenario.
BFF was a power trio, but the string power that the band was the bass and tightly wound metal inside the body of the piano. Add the sheer brilliance of Ben's songwriting and you have musical magic on your hands.
Ben Folds Five...why did I never own one of their albums? Why oh why, I wonder.
I love Folds and everything he does....so much talent it's ridiculous. On that note, first time I've seen this vid, and it kind of reminds me of a reverse glory hole....haha. Doesn't matter, all their music rocks, so it's all good.
ill be honest i never knew this band until i saw this guy on the Sing-Off and his voice isnt as great as i thought but the he throws a piano and drums together is rather fun to watch
actually i think his voice is perfect. its not like a perfect choir voice but he sings what he means and he really shows his emotion through the tone of his voice
@geosuicide It might be your Internet connection, cause when I view a video on Vevo, It is generally pretty fast. It kinda depends on where you live. Like I live in Tacoma-Seattle area so that's about 5 GB connection, and If you were living in the Mid-West you would be lucky if you got 0.5 GB connection.
