    Ben Folds is one of the greats. Up there with Lennon and McCartney.

      He’s a better musician, but not a better writer. Ben is great, no doubt, but Lennon and McCartney wrote a list of classics.

      Let’s not get carried away now. Ben is great, but he’s not on Paul’s level. Paul has more great compositions, and plays not just piano, but bass, guitar, and drums well. The only area where ben is better is piano. But Paul is a heckuva good pianist, too. John wasn’t the instrumentalist Paul (or Ben) are, but his catalog of songs is epic. Imagine, Strawberry Fields, and Lucy in the sky with diamonds are better than anything Ben has written and I like ben’s songs. Oh-and both Paul and John were better vocalists. Certainly Paul’s voice was more versatile. Paul could do Ben’s vibe-sweet/innocent with a nice falsetto (e.g. let it be / hey Jude)-and he could do Helter Skelter and Oh Darlin’

      So glad you've found him. I'm reliving them all over again after my daughter showed me she'd begun listening to him again, recently. What I gift to rediscover him!

  • @Vikingraider10
    @Vikingraider10 4 года назад +11

    Randomly, someone reminded me of this song yesterday without even knowing they'd done so. Just used the word "Landed" out of context, and immediately I thought of Ben Folds. Searched RUclips and found him, and then searched again for a live version. Here I am, and here I've been for about 3 hours now listening over and over again.

    • @Jccyphers1
      @Jccyphers1 Год назад

      Lol same, but 10 years between listening. Rediscovering him, what a blast

    If I hear Ben Folds in any capacity, I can't help but smile. This man has the amazing to capsize the listener into despair while giving uplifting by the same token. I remember in a small venue in Jacksonville, Oregon in 2015, I seemed to be the only one who snapped up for the audience feedback punctuations, got the recog from him and the rest but I remained in the song(s) the entire time. Very few artists evoke this psych-sonic connection, and I'd be hard-pressed these daze to find one better.

  • @jevinday

    I'm a musician of moderate ability. I can sing while playing the guitar, and can sing while playing piano on a couple songs. The differences between the piano composition and the structure of the vocal melody make for what sounds like a damn near impossible feat. I dont play piano much so i could be overhyping a little, but there is no doubt that Ben Folds is a legend as far as contemporary pop (popular) musicians go.

    • @salfaimusic
      @salfaimusic 5 лет назад +2

      Having played piano for four years, I'd say I have a decent amount of skill and technique on keyboard instruments. And yes, his ability is unrivaled in the contemporary pop scene. Even after playing for 4 years, I still can't get the intro down.

    Beautiful song. You can tell it’s towards the end of a set and he wasn’t feeling it. I’ve seen this song performed several times and it’s completely different when his emotion is in the music. With all that said it’s amazing every time I hear it

    I was lucky enough to see ben with the Pittsburgh symphony and then I went and saw him with a regular band in pittsburgh and they were just amazing experiences. The symphony show was just bone chilling amazing the entire time it was a bucket list experience if you ever get the chance to buy a seat for a show like that do it. It was unforgettable.

    Whose decision was it to throw a large diaphragm condenser on a performance like this? Would have been much better suited for an SM7B or something

    • @t.j.schaff2478
      @t.j.schaff2478 7 лет назад +11

      I agree, and the whole mix is clipping

    • @PluralOfAlcesAlces
      @PluralOfAlcesAlces 7 лет назад +4

      The mic' was probably chosen because it has a more old school studio-esque vibe to give it that "live at RCA Studio" aesthetic.
      To be honest though, the U47 is a great mic' that's fantastic for vocals and they have positioned it quite well. An SM7B would also be a great mic' (Ben uses it when he's touring with an upright) but it could have just been a question of what sounded best in the room i.e. a toss up between improved rejection or an arguably better vocal sound

    • @t.j.schaff2478
      @t.j.schaff2478 7 лет назад +7

      Maybe its not the mix that is clipping- whoever mixed added some distortion after compression or something... I guess that dirty RCA studio sound is what they were going for. Regardless, spectacular performance by Folds.
