"There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you While the world is watching" I needed to hear that line when I was 15. Unfortunately, I didn't understand it until I was 33.
Despite the fact that this video centers around a man who secretly enjoys walking around the city cosplaying a pirate, I was still on verge of tears when he was at the bridge. This video is wonderful.
PIRATE WALKS INTO A BAR with a ship's steering wheel poking out of the fly of his pants. He says, "Y'arrrr, gimme a grog." Bartender says "Sure thing... Say, do you realize you have a small steering wheel poking out of your fly?" Pirate says, "Arrrr, aye, and it's drivin' me nuts."
THIS SONG IS SO INSPIRATIONAL!! It's so true too. 'never gonna be a moment of truth for you, while the world is watching. All you need is the thing that you're missing. and that's to learn to live with what you are~!' The world isn't going to give you a break. There will be haters and trolls; but you just got to learn to do what you love DESPITE what everyone else says. YOU ARE SPECIAL!!!
Sometimes life just gets me down, I'm sure you all know what I mean. But man... Ben Folds just fixes everything, His songs are so inspirational. I hope this guy keeps making music for a long long time....
Just heard this song for the first time at somewhere I thought I'd never be in, doing something I never thought I would do. Such epic timing and got a new fave in my playlist :D.
God I love Ben Folds so much!!!! Seen him live 3 times, once in his hometown. He is the most predominate artist on the soundtrack of my life. His music is the best best to hoop to!

@ITheIAravisI I thought it was hilariously clever especially when he gets to the bridge the words the bridge appear during the bridge of the song. this took me a couple of views to realize. ben folds and bf five are amazing. lol.
Where was this filmed? I know the bridges are in Cincinnati, purple people bridge obviously, but is the beginning in Cinci? Kind of looks like Nashville and I see several people saying Nashville as well. I can’t read the name of the Tavern lol. Weaver? Weager?

Learn to live with what you arr.
underrated comment yo
Amazing
VERY CLEVER!
You Almost answer right, Thats was Close
This man is a national (buried) treasure
I get that this is a pirate pun, but it kind of sounds like a threat.
@@lefthooklansing Smoothest plug ever
is it the pirate costume as to why you say this
"There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching"
I needed to hear that line when I was 15.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand it until I was 33.
Why is Ben Folds so under-rated? None of my friends have heard of him, but when I meet people that have heard of him, they freakin' love him.
Yea it seems he just needs better marketing or something because his music is on point and really emotional same thing with The Postal Service
Despite the message of this, please do not pirate this video.
The Secret Life of Ben Folds.
:)
I love this song! You truly haven't heard excellence in songwriting until you've heard Ben Folds!
Despite the fact that this video centers around a man who secretly enjoys walking around the city cosplaying a pirate, I was still on verge of tears when he was at the bridge. This video is wonderful.
been listening to this song every time I feel like I'm not good enough. Ben makes his songs full of meaning and humour. I love his music
This song got me through middle school, high school, college, adulthood...... Thanks for the tears and booty shakes, BF!!!!
"I know that you're in there..."...
..."Ben are you in there?"
Makes me laugh everytime.
Why did I stop listening to Ben Folds after Rockin the Suburbs?! Missed so much great music.
Tell your friends about this song and video. Deserves more than 250,000 hits and Ben Folds deserves a lot more recognition than what he gets
Back when people still called it hits lol. True tho.

Sometimes life just gets me down, I'm sure you all know what I mean. But man... Ben Folds just fixes everything, His songs are so inspirational. I hope this guy keeps making music for a long long time....
12 years later im back and it turns out it didnt fix everything but I atill love and appreciate the music
Ben Folds is the kind of music I want to listen to when I'm older yo. If I was his age now, I'd want to have a beer with him
It’s so weird seeing this with not even 200 comments.
Ben Folds brought back the harmonies and strings of the 70s
"The Bridge" Haha I love the explaination.
Lol
my favourite part of this video is that it doesn't seem like Ben is acting, more that Ben is just being himself. Which is amazing.
ben folds is hugely under rated
I love Ben Folds, he gives me hope. It helps to listen to him when I feel depressed
Whether you deserve it or not, you have to learn to live with it; there's no other option.
Just heard this song for the first time at somewhere I thought I'd never be in, doing something I never thought I would do. Such epic timing and got a new fave in my playlist :D.
living in nashville and watching this video makes me smile because i recognize every spot
he's simply got a natural talent, and my favorite singer. Good job Ben!
Brendon Mesler jesuswaat
with the strings it really is a much deeper song.
Love that it says "The Bridge" at the bridge of the song....HA!
I giggled so much during the last 8 seconds.
haha, The Bridge! *falls over laughing* So great!!
God I love Ben Folds so much!!!! Seen him live 3 times, once in his hometown. He is the most predominate artist on the soundtrack of my life. His music is the best best to hoop to!
Wish I could play that well with two hooks...
There's something so poetic about his nighting romp around town in a pirate costume.
Ben writes awesome bridges.
Chortle 😄
where has this been all my life
All you need is the thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you arrrrrrrrrr
he seems like a really nice guy
He is!
ben folds is my hero. hands down
Ben Folds really helped me in alot rough patches in my life 💕💕💕 love you, Ben! Hope to see you one day!
You know, Vevo, I didn't really come here to see a Big Time Rush ad. Just saying. Anyways, Thank ye Ben, for this wonderful video and song!
Absolute musical genius with a great sense of humour x
Wow I never new an official video of this exsisted. That was awesome! Hilarious but also it also serves the song. One of my favorite songs og Ben's...
The beginning was a total flight of the concards flashback!
might be my favorite music video ever
It's a beautiful bridge.
Makes me smile every time!!! LOL!!!
probably my favorite misic video ever
This song reminds me of someone that was always trying to be someone else. She couldn't face her life, and projected a better one onto herself.
Now, this wouldn't surprise me at all. Ben is just completely zanney and fun, and his videos make me happy.
Favorite Human Being... ever. If there is one person I want to meet before I die is this guy.
oh my gosh....the bridge...it's the bridge...genius
He looks so confident in those Pirate clothes, wow!~
I like how he has a bajillion fans, but nobody could recognize him if it came down to it in person lol.
It's good to know someone else does this too.
Live with what you ARRRRRRRRR!
Best. Music. Video. Ever.
When Ben says "ready to rock" it kind of creeps me out. I locked my windows.
Damn i am extremely sad this was 10 years ago because it's unironically one of my favorite comments on here.
HAHAH
1:30 best music video part in history!
1:30 best part of the music video!
Just found out how good this band is
Im Crying... again...
I love a good song ;)
@squirtleist Holy hell! I can't unsee/unhear it!
I haven't heard this song before.
ben folds u are awesome!!!
love his hands. Sadly, I suspect this is not the first time I've made this comment on this video.
This song is a gold (chest)
I love this video :) a wannabe pirate riding a mini bike? what could be better!
Learn to live with you art.
@squirtleist Holy hell! I can't unsee it!
0:41 purple polka dot boxers. lol. did anyone else catch that?
haha this video is one of my all time favorites. i love how everyone is like, "creep!"
I'dont' know But I'Like The Sound🌷
imagine calling ben a creep... I could never.
I agree
this video inspired me to wear a pirate suit. And you know what? I feel fulfilled now.
3:33 Is that Bob Dylan??? xD

❤I know that you're in there
I can see you
You're saying you're ok
I don't believe you
And now that the gig is off
The spell is broken
The fat lady sung
The president has spoken
These days that you were waiting for
Will come and go
Like any day
Just another day
There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is the thing you forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you are
So freak out if you wanna
And I'll still be here
Don't call me for years and when you do
Yeah, I'll still be here
I'm not saying the effort is a waste of time - but I
Just love you for the things you couldn't change
Though you've tried
These hours of confusion they will soon expire
Like everything
Does
There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is the thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you are
Sometimes
Everything you've ever wanted
Floats above
He's sticking out his tongue and laughing
While everything
Anyone can ever need
Is down below
Waiting for you
To know this
There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is the thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you are
You got to learn to live with what you
You got to learn to live with what you
Are
I know that you're in there
I can see you
You're saying you're okay
I don't believe you
And now that the gig is up, the spell is broken
The fat lady's sung, the president has spoken
These days that you were waiting for will come and go
Like any day, just another day
There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching, ohh ohh
Ohh, all you need is the thing you've forgotten

And that's to learn to live with what you are
Sometimes everything you've ever wanted floats above
It's stickin' out its tongue and laughing while
Everything that anyone could ever need is down below
Waiting for you, know this
There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching, ohh ohh
'Cause all you need is the thing you've forgotten

You've got to learn to live with what you are
You've got to learn to live with what you...
Are
I'm still learning.
Do what you want but a pirate is free. You. Are. A Pirate.
RIP Stefan Karl😢😢
@ITheIAravisI I thought it was hilariously clever especially when he gets to the bridge the words the bridge appear during the bridge of the song. this took me a couple of views to realize. ben folds and bf five are amazing. lol.
That bridge joke has me weak fam
i agree, even though they have some pretty serious meanings, (you don't know me, for example), they are still funny, and the videos are always ironic!
What city is this?
Anyone notice at the end when tucks the patch behind his back, he's wearing a shirt from an actual Navy uniform?
0 dislikes. That's more like it.
i was there for him throwing the stool. bad ass.
Where was this filmed? I know the bridges are in Cincinnati, purple people bridge obviously, but is the beginning in Cinci? Kind of looks like Nashville and I see several people saying Nashville as well. I can’t read the name of the Tavern lol. Weaver? Weager?
Okay I think it’s Villager Taver which is in Nashville. I guess they filmed it in a few different places lol.
@joe9879 Hey now, I caught him at an airport once. Told him I was a fan, and he was super nice! :-)
0 dislikes - as it should be.
Holy shit. Ben Folds is a pirate.
No one cares about the poor kid that comes out in the morning to find his bike gone and his dog impaled. Epic tune though
omg dude!
Song is so demotivating tbh... And ignorant
I love how he is dressed up as a pirate.
freak out, if you wanna.
If anyone else is in the navy you'll understand this, but he's wearing an older Operations Specialist E-2 shirt there at the end of the video.....
46 people had to walk the plank!
1:36 the guy is so stunned that ben folds was just dressed up as a pirate in front of him.
