He is probably one of the best lyricists of all time. He puts things into words that other people just can't. Like I can't even put what he does into words.. but he probably could.. haha.
That's the thing; you know he's good because everyone loves him and it's obviously not for his looks. I don't think he has a great voice, but I still love it and everything else about his music.
I'm a huge fan of Elvis Costello and Ben Folds, and I don't see lyrical similarity. Elvis Costello is practically a rapper, the dude's got flow. Plus Costello uses so much allusion and metaphor whereas Fold's is pretty direct with his messages. So there!
OH WOW!! not like anyone else just BEN!!! Amazing - thanks
