Ben Folds - Emaline (live)

[cesoid]

I named my daughter Emaline as well. Five years later we named our son Jude -- after the Beatles song.

[jed6195]

Haha I was talking to my friend about how if I ever had a daughter I'd name her after this song, and all the comments here prove how awesome that'd be aha

[niki11150115]

Love love love Ben.

[kenmeyerjr]

Anyone else notice how many songs Folds names after people? Check the album title lists, I swear, probably 60% or more of his songs are named after people...nothing to say about really other than I noticed it.

[amurrayrubin]

We also named our girl Emaline, we have another one on the way and if baby ends up a girl her name will be Jane ;)

The album version of this song was recorded on Naked Baby Photoes in 1998.

[chickennuggett21]

My mistace it was actually recorded for the album Ben Folds Five but was cut because of the acustic guitar.

[tikalal]

When was this recorded?

[alekstdancer]

awesomeness emaline is my bff's name

[tikalal]

Nice with the faceblock at 1:07!

[tikalal]

Well whitebare7 what you're saying is true in general, but if I was on stage and they were shouting support I certainly wouldn't be pissed off.

[whitebare7]

ppl need to SHUT UP while artists are in the middle of songs. especially quiet, intimate parts. geez that would piss me off as a musician

[audiofunkdialect]

i think you would welcome it after playing the song over many years

[commotionall]

my sister was named after this song

[mkgirschwin]

If I have kids, I'm naming my first daughter Emaline after this song.

Ben Folds' music has touched me enough to make me name my kids after it... no other musician can say that.

This song makes me tear up everytime I hear it. It's that beautiful.

[malloryisme]

I'm naming my kids Emaline and Adelaide

[r3b3cca101]

We named our little girl Emaline after hearing this song. Great name and pretty rare :)

[Noellenc]

Good idea!! It is a cute name. Don't let them shorten it to Emma... too common =)

[antivirus88]

you're naming your kid after a horse FYI.

[r3b3cca101]

Actually this is the name of a former girlfriend who was a little strange. Got that straight from the "horses" mouth. Pun intended :)

[rawkstarr07]

ben folds.. oh god, such talent! best song ever, too. and if any one has sheet music for this song i'd give you my heart and soul XDDDDD

[ShaiTan931]

I have sheet music

I always wanted someone else's soul...

[rawkstarr07]

ha, would you mind giving me the sheet music? can't promise you my soul, but you'll get a lot of appreciation and a good feeling of helping someone else out :]

[ShaiTan931]

I, actually, only now have a physical copy.

But google "Free piano sheets Emaline"

or something like that.

Sorry :(

[rawkstarr07]

it's all good.

i shall keep looking :]

[Acalin39]

I've looked everywhere for Emaline sheet music. I'd be happy to buy it for a fax or something. Do you know where I can buy it. I can't find it anywhere online. The naked baby photos books has music for the entrie band and doesn't get me there. Thanks for your help.

[TheOnlySDF]

pm me, I just learned this. I've got the sheets. :D

[dtmccready]

Maybe learn to read music? I know this sounds crazy, but musicians expect people to pay for their music...

[iheartsudsnfolds]

thank you for uploading this, probably the best performance of the song, i've ever seen.

[emaedg]

my name is Emaline:D They wrote the song me(A),

[tomboshoff]

I would give my left ear to play this song.

[AnnabelleBelieve]

you can do it. practice. i'm like 60% there. :)

Ben can just play these songs as easily as we friggen type sentences on keyboards because he has been doing it for so long.

[Jdiggity101]

Compared to some of his other songs this is really easy. I've been playing mostly by ear for the past 7 years (half my actual life) so i found it really easy to learn this. But if you dont play much by ear there's a few transcriptions of the song floatin around.

[DMjar]

Yeah..the yelling and whatnot ruins the mood. Hate it when that happens. Very nice song and playing, like always.

[longhornsfan88]

How is this version different than the Ben Folds Live version? Besides the people yelling and stuff...

[whitebare7]

also, eff all those who scream at intimate moments of silence. go die. i really wish he would have played this when i saw him the last couple of times

[whitebare7]

my favorite song of his easily

[mqj6df]

I believe the lyrics are "well are you deafer than all might?". Actually, I think that Ben Folds wrote this originally on guitar when he was younger (high school).

[paulkepner]

Can someone please tell me the real lyrics of this song..."my one advice, girls need attention. Are you deaf from it all night?" Is that it. This is my favorite song and I have to know, once and for all.

[ShaiTan931]

"My one advice, girls need attention. Or are yours different than all mine?"

[knockedupvegan]

We also named our daughter Emaline. Let's start a club...

[r3b3cca101]

It is so exciting to see other people with a kid named Emaline!!!

[towerdefense]

sounds old.. he's singing good

[roxasraid]

ben looks difrent

[asdfghkjiuytrewq]

[fall0utboy]
