Considering how he faked a pre-release of his own album recently, there's no telling how serious he is. Whether he's serious or not, it's a damned good version and brilliantly done. Now if he'd only record it like this.
I couldn't stop laughing the first time I heard this version of the song. He's so incredibly talented; I just don't understand how he hasn't received more acclaim in the music industry. Oh well, he has a huge base of loyal fans, and in my book that's worth WAY more than pop mainstream success.
just here to tell you that you are an idiot. ben is an entertainer and this is clearly a joke... a pretty damn funny one too. ben keeps it interesting and its what makes his performances so intimate and worth dishing out money for every concert
It's not a joke. He changed it to this version because he thought the major key in the original was innapropriate for the actual sentiment behind the song. It wasn't just angry... it was sad and tired. There's a lotof irony to Ben's stuff, but he was basically sincere in changing this.
don't spread the word. Its better when only the people who appreciate him know him.. if he was mainstream popular he would lose some appeal...well to me and other die-hard fans. lol
Yeah it always really annoys me when people believe that someone is theirs and they shouldnt have any success. Let him be successful, let him reach people with his music.
There need to be a Album track with this awsome version.
