...here in England we have to send to the States to get a copy of the CD. I heard 3 tracks played early one morning - on the way back from a gig - and had to stop driving to write the title down. I have sent the CD to everyone I know. Beatiful...moving...accomplished.
I believe hes asking his son to play with him, trying to bond.
Like being a train to carry him or chase him.
Role play to brighten his son up.
There can be other thoughts behind the line.
But often in music a person wants to get a sentiment across but also needs to rhym, so it could be a compromise and expect the folks to hopefully get it.
I would like to think I got the intention close at least since its what I get out of it.
A strong register is not exemplified in the second verse, nor the final cut-short pre-chorus. she's tripping over the falsetto break. I'm much more of a fan of the Middlebury Bobolinks' version. THAT is a solo.
OMG JOHN MICHEAL!!!! So my school group heard about this Ben Folds thing too, and the music director sent me the link, and i saw MOSAIC WHISPERS! and i was like WHAT!!! and then i click, and there is your beautiful face singing the solo! What a small world. I LOVE YOU!!!
What a beautiful voice...

Truly beautiful, and dare I say now I've listened to this a thousand times, think of this version as the one.
Goosebumps and tears sometimes.
Not just for dads but for mums too!!

This is such a good cover and I really like your whole group! A Capella doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

One of the best acapella ben folds ive seen yet! People dont realise how hard it is. They easily criticise when they have no talent.

Freaking incredible. Easily the best solo I've heard on this song.
I want to do it for my school's graduation, any chance I can get an arangment?

the soloist needs some work, but other than that great job.
ps. Im not saying the soloist is bad, I just dont like his voice personally.
