When desperate static beats the silence up
A quiet truth to calm you down
The songs you wrote
Got me through a lot
Just wanna tell you that

This is a very touching article.

Something in you dies, when it's over
Everybody cries sometimes
If loving you's a dream
That's not worth having
Then why do I dream of you?

nice find

He said that all the band members are still friends, will still pursue their own individual projects, and might even work together again. A reunion, though, still won't bring the kind of energy and cynical enthusiasm that dominated their earlier work.

do any of us care if it's not?

I'd never heard the Yeti thing before. That's weird.

It wasn't my dangler that had weights on it. It was my heart.

I'd never read that anywhere either. I heard Reinhold was the first man to summit Everest without oxygen

That's the story. Apparently altitude-induced hallucinations were more important for the purposes of this article.

The son of a carpenter, Folds graduated high school in the mid '80s, and then took off, writing songs and drifting from city to city (jumping continents once or twice) before landing in Nashville in the early '90s.

What continents did he go to before forming Ben Folds Five in Chapel Hill? That's interesting to me...

i've got reservations
about so many things
but not about you...

It's a great display of the band's live talent (though seeing Folds destroy a piano is a sight worth any $20 ticket)

Thought that that was a funny quote and very true I love watching him throw the "throne"

We're thankful for what we have, Ben Folds Five. Bring us more, if you can.

Obviously the reviewer was a fan....It was a well written and well researched article...glad those that read enjoyed

We may never know, unfortunately, if they were wrong. But we can try.
