I love how reverent people are during Ben's concerts when he reveals a new song or he's making a live album... not a break in the flow of the music. The piano solo reminds me of Emaline from Ben Folds Live.
@Sepharite well i dont mean to argue, but not every song is in 4/4 time. im also not trying to put down ben folds, as he is a huge musical influence in my life. just merely noticing the similarites in the two songs.
also, just for kicks, i had a full ride scholarship in vocal and piano performance to a major university when i was 17.
It's times like this i wish when my parents asked me what instrument i wanted to learn when i was like is said piano instead of trumpet, I mean i love trumpet but it's not as amazing as piano
Thanks for posting. I really like this song. Sad but catchy, and good. I like the Levi Johnston blues too, haha, this looks to be a good album. Wonder when it will be out...?
@jcgamer107 I think I saw september 28 somewhere, I can't wait, I love nick hornby's books and films. Ben Folds is also one of my favorite artists, this is going to be a great collaboration I think
Anyone notice that the "a cheat and a tee-eee-ee-ease" melody is the same melody as "laid on the ground and stared at the skyyy-yyy-yyy-yyy" from the unreleased BFF song, Amelia Bright? I guess he liked that little vocal run. I do, too.
I like this one better than the album version.

Such an immensely talented and underrated artist. He's really outdone himself with this, his latest album. Long live Folds! :D

@tezromania No its not the same chord structure. They're not even close.
Obviously you're lying about your scholarship if you making such an obvious error.
Also, commenting that something is in 4/4 like its relevant? The majority of every song every written has the "exact same time signature".
Why is it that youtube attracts idiots who love to make retarded comments and then lie about their status?
Btw, my friends cousin met Ben Folds at an Applebees. Aren't I something?
