his tunes sound happy but some are oh so dark. got to love that.
while brick just makes me sad right from the outset.

hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    ben folds five is my favorite band outside of pearl jam. its a shame they had to break up. ben folds solo work is really good but nothing like the five.

    I like his music, but Im ashamed to say (especially cause hes a local product) I dont own any of their/his albums. Ive got some of their songs that I downloaded though. They play a killer live version he does of "Tiny Dancer" on the radio here.

    If you don't have the EPs, you should check out "All U Can Eat" and "There's Always Someone Cooler Than You"...

    I only heard some live tunes from Ben solo since that didn't hit me. I vote for Ben folds 5. Does anyone know why they are called 5 when they're only with 3? Just fooling around I thought, Or?

    The pictures in your mind are the best anyway.
