This is hands-down the most beautiful version of the saddest song, written by one of the best modern-day songwriters, period. The orchestral arrangement just makes it that much better- my heart breaks every single time I hear this.
It’s funny knowing every word to this. I love this song, always have. I also find it great that not many people know of or appreciate ‘Ben Folds’ .... it’s like a private club.
"Randy Savage. Yes I know what you mean. I saw him solo at the Sydney Opera House. When we went in, we were all asked to write down whichever Ben Folds song we want him to play. So when he went onstage, he had the bucket and randomly picked one of the cards... said "ok, this one is for someone in the audience named Angela".... and played it. I picked this song, but HE DIDNT PLAY IT!!! Even though I started a mexican wave shouting "EVAPORATED! EVAPORATED! EVAPORATED!!" haha and almost got kicked out. LOL
Was already a huge fan when I saw them in '97. Still blown away by how wise Ben was at such a young age. He wrote 'Video' in high school. This song not a heap of years later. Bullying and family tragedy taught him about human nature and he somehow managed to still come out of these experiences wanting to live life at 120%. A bona fide love/loss/pain/success story.
I can't think of words suitable enough to extole my love of this song. Evaporated is in my top 10 songs of all time. It feels so real and relatable, regardless of what mood I'm in. Both melancholic and uplifting. It's just a marvel of craftsmanship. I don't give a shit that it brings me to tears. I'll take the hit to manliness. Over 20 years of listening and it still matters.
Reminds me of when I was in rehab after one of us would tell our life story we were able to choose a song that they like and that was the first time I heard it beautiful
This is my favourite Ben Folds song, but seeing this... wow. Absolutely, flawlessly, beautiful in every way. I don't get too impressed by very much, but this is exceptional!
To think this is what I'd be seeing tomorrow night if the corona virus wasn't a thing :( I'm so upset lmao I waited so long for this and now it's another year of waiting.

It is absolutely breathtaking

Glad I'm a lifetime member
Just introduise a friend to them, who also had never heard of them.

This should have a billion views...
This is one of my fave songs from Ben Folds Five. I still have the cassette tape of this album.🥰✌️🤘
This is how I feel sometimes. Like my joy has been completely evaporated

Jesus, I'm crying hearing this again...2020 please go away.
3:37 And I poured my heart out....
Clearly one of the best Ben Folds songs.

What a nice rendition with the orchestra.
Genius
I heard this before I heard Randy Newman’s “Living without you” and I’m still not sure what encapsulates love lost better. Strong competition

RIP... We got a stream, though.
This song... melts me every time. So grateful for this and this version and the Western Australia Symphony Orchestra. 😁
Goosebumps
Beautiful
Never enough times to listen to this, Ben. Absolutely gorgeous 💜
Thank you
Beautiful song
Beautiful composition at 1:31 in suspended chord sequence over the chromatic part.
I love you Ben Folds. Nice performance
from 2005
Amazing!
I know you're too popular to read comments, but this song will always bring a tear to my eye after my fathers death in 2008
Beautiful!
Ahhhhh....so good
As much as I love BF, I have to point out that the shot of him from behind at .42 makes him look like an old maid.
anyone else from perth?
Gotta say, as fantastic as these songs are, I'm not sure they needed orchestral backing.. I prefer the garage'y sound of the album
I didn't know that Johny Knoxville can sing! 😂
Yeah I like it please stop sending reminders for 2005 stuff or I’m unsubscribing
Ben he's threatening you!
@@ethanjohnson3642 yeah! Get him, Ben!
