Ben Folds - Hiro's Song (Live at V2001)

[harlandos]

Fantastic rock tune, and now the demo is on Ben's new album (best of)... fab

[W3LSH100]

If there is any connection i think the blur song "yuko and hiro" is much better.

[PredatorFilmsInc]

@W3LSH100 : The melody of both songs seem very similar, although Ben's version is obviously much more upbeat and both contain a Hiro and a Yuko. Blur's song is on an album called "The Great Escape" which, in a nutshell, is a concept album about mid-life crisis and desperate attempts to feel young, which is basically what Hiro in Ben's version is suffering from. I would be so shocked if Ben's song wasn't inspired by Blur.

[Daviysoh]

I love this song! I bought this CD and still listen today.

[SoberKennedy]

Damn...Ben Folds, Millard Powers, AND Snuzz on the same stage. Oh, what I'd give for a time machine so I could see that in person.

[blueberrybacondeath]

this is from the dance game called Bust a Groove, it's the character Hiro's song (Karaoke Supernova)

[whereitsatodelay]

so its like he took the themes in yuko and hiro by blur and elaborated, made his own narrative to. unless yuko and hiro are names that are from some other narrative or something in Japanese culture. can anyone elaborate if they know?

[popomczowzow]

you can tell these guys are really talented musicians the way they can make something so simple sound so good and play it with such, for lack of a better word, flair without having to show off.

[gregoe86]

I think it's from the Japanese version of Rockin the Suburbs

[redsoxbean07]

It is on Songs for Goldfish.

[UnholyBob]

A globular performance by one Ben Folds

[colombo259]

I just discovered this song not too long ago, despite listening to Ben for years (and having 100+ of his songs). It's now one of my favorites.

[SleeplessLover]

Goodness, this is one of his songs I will always love, and will always know the words to, no matter how long I've not listen to it.

[knoxIII]

i thought it was called hiro's song?

[erinwebb]

I love that Ben is still rocking the red pants. This song rules- thanks for posting.

[toxicsluge]

THats Millard from Counting Crows on bass and Jim from Counting Crows on drums. This is awesome! Great song!

[paulmoity]

Hiro is sick..People should dare to venture away from the shit the radio stations spew forth and check out some real music

[DAndEFilms]

haha "I left my family for a secratery" lol

[DAndEFilms]

kool

[ashkrou]

The album hasn't got this, pity cos its mint song, and the piano book teaches you this not "theres always someone cooler than you" which is hard cos i didn't know the original tune lol.

[concertat9]

[EQXroX336]

[concertat9]

[EQXroX336]

any time

[SARIX5]

this song wasnt on the Rockin the Suburbs album i got,,, but its in the Piano Transcription book,,, weird!

[concertat9]

that is

[timmyj233]

It was included on the Japanese edition.

[SARIX5]

i hate when albums in other countries have more songs on them... the foo fighters also do that

[kairaa]

Japanese albums usually have more songs on them because Japanese CDs cost about thirty bucks, and that's the only way to get anyone to buy them instead of importing the cheap American ones.
