ben folds
i really fucking love that man. it all started for me when i heard "brick" (whatever and ever amen) .. then found the rest of the album was just so choice. "one angry dwarf and 200 solemn faces" is fantasticly upbeat and .. jubilant? sure. overall just great.
recently i've been all about 'songs for silverman'. self titled instead of 'ben folds five' as 'whatever and ever amen' was released under. it's god-damned wonderful. really mankes me want to learn piano. my two favorite tracks are undoubtedly "jesusland" and "landed" .. perhaps with emphasis on the latter.
i know this lyric doesn't mean a lot to everyone but holds significant impact to me..
... i was still in love
(chorus)
till i opened my eyes and walked out the door
and the clouds came tumbling down
and it's "bye-bye. goodbye, i tried"
and i twisted it wrong just to make it right
i had to leave myself behind
and i've been flying high all night
So come pick me up
i've landed
