I've always really connected with the songs Ben has done. In every album, there's at least one song that yanks my heartstrings rather than tug on them. Brick, Magic, Army, and almost every song on Rockin' the Suburbs. It's cool to see the kids I've heard in song and seen in video growing up to be just as silly as their dad. I honestly can't wait for this new set to come out, but I hope it's not the last.
Man, Ben Folds is the best. I have yet to encounter another musician who is quite as amazing, clever, and relatable. I am so hyped for this retrospective album, keep the music coming, Ben!
This guy... is the Billy Joel/Elton John for my years. Although I am old enough to be a part of the latter half of Billy and Elton's careers, but what I mean, he's that type of writer. Well, he's better than Elton as he writes his own words... But such there's an honesty I feel with Ben Folds whether with the band or on his own. Saw him with the band in Birmingham (UK not Alabama) and they were fantastic!!!
Those kids aren't appreciative of having a really cool father who even wrote two awesome songs about them. Also, Ben deserves to have more of his songs be hits.
Its great to be part of the Ben Folds community. We obviously feel that his music is special and although we might be very different people we can at least share that! Ben, please come back to Toronto soon or at least Buffalo! But if you play in Asheville NC, we'll come down there for sure!! Thank you. JMC
Can Somebody please list all the songs from this Video? I'm in search for more Ben Folds songs! It would be better if you could answer sooner rather than later. Thanks
Okay, so this is late, but the songs played are: One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces You Don't Know Me Underground Brick Rockin' the Suburbs Landed House Don't Change Your Plans Still You Don't Know Me (again)
@burpo in a year he'll be eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thats 25 years of making music, which he deserves to be inducted into, in my opinion. This is what he's done Ben Folds is 45 and I'm sure he'll decided to be done with playing music and won't try to hold on and just put out crap like so many others do. He'll know when its time to leave the building, but hopefully it won't be soon! ahaha
so THATS why you redid tiny dancer! sorry to hear so many sentences begin with "the record label thought that..." Even still, you are wicked talented, and I love buying your albums, I hope you keep putting them out. PS your kids are cute and my favorite song is "Free Coffee"
@TheBenFoldsFan123 : Sure... But that doesn't answer the question. Why did Ben think it would be a good idea to putting his kids in the background....?
The pacing and interruptions in this video are beyond obnoxious. Honestly this is the last enjoyable thing I have ever seen or heard from Ben Folds. Nice to see his kids growing up, even if they clearly have no idea how incredible their father is.

Ben is DANGEROUSLY underrated!
You mean Dana?
Brick is such a great song. makes me cry everytime.
He's so freaking cool. I wish he was my dad! Haha
I love how his kids just don't care at all xD
Gracie and Louie both got songs written about them...
Gracie-Gracie
Louie-Still fighting it

I like how he can’t remember which album landed is on
Plays Underground: "This is the sounds of our first top 10 UK hit". It actually hit #37. Whooops.
His kids are thinking "Why do we have to be here? You've told us this stuff already."
That made me laugh out loud because I imagined Ben Folds sitting his kids down every night to tell the story of Brick.
@@neighborhoodginger4444 ...and he's got his guitar on his knee and is tuning at the neck as he looks out to their horrified faces.
Man, Ben Folds is the best. I have yet to encounter another musician who is quite as amazing, clever, and relatable. I am so hyped for this retrospective album, keep the music coming, Ben!
his kids are gorgeous
No one can humble you quite like your own kids. 😂
How you can talk about his career and not mention Reinhold Messner is a crime.
Its far and away the greatest thing hes ever written.
Can't wait for this to come out.
they're his kids it's not like they're gonna be fangirling in front of him.
Nice job Ryan. You're a great film maker. Fun stuff.
Love Ben Folds!!!!
I love the way his kids couldn't give a sh*t about any of it...
"Of course, a Mack truck couldn't take me out"
"What about two?"
💀🥀🖤
😂😂😂
Love the looks on your kids' faces.
That girl is adorable.
The look on Gracie's face @ 3:35 is the face I make when my dad talks. "I'm bored. You're old. Shut up."
Holy shit! What have I been missing out on!🤯
So brills - complete legend.
Hello there, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
OMFG COOLEST DAD EVER
So awesome.
this is hilarious! it's so awkward with the kids hahaha
Love it! Funny stuff, thx Ben et al!
Hello Julian
Ben Folds rocking an Elton John look.
Getting excited for the new album!
LOVED this!!!! ;-)
Thanks man, you're right

Gracie and Louie have no fucks to give
And I hope those kids know that they have the greatest dad in the universe.
Hello Miranda, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
"Darren's better than that..."
...
"Talk about reuniting Ben Folds Five... and why you did that shit."
Why Does he not have "Not the same" on their!
I love you
*o* i jst luv'd
Anyone else think has the appearance and personality of a dad but acts like an uncle.
Those kids aren't appreciative of having a really cool father who even wrote two awesome songs about them. Also, Ben deserves to have more of his songs be hits.
It's actually "Don't Change Your Plans" by Ben Folds Five
good video
He is on a few of the live trax & "Sleazy"
Landed should have been a hit................
Army(Ben Folds)
You know that guy in the background?
I touched his elbow once. :)
Hello there, how are you doing
Is Ryan actually on the album? or is he just in the video for the lolz
Mmmmm not mention of Majosha or Pots and Pans. Isn't that where it all started?
Its great to be part of the Ben Folds community. We obviously feel that his music is special and although we might be very different people we can at least share that!
Ben, please come back to Toronto soon or at least Buffalo! But if you play in Asheville NC, we'll come down there for sure!! Thank you. JMC
Woo, Chapel Hill!
Fuckin awesome! Love you guys!
@desmo0001 Genius!!! Ryan Lerman = Don Fagen. The link from Ben Folds to Steely Dan is strong and precious. Truth, that is.
1:24 Louie: Heehee, he just said "crap"
i listen to ben folds before my footballs games!! we're 4-0 so fuck wit it :))
OW! What're you doin'?!.......

Holy shit his son is like a clone of him 😂
I think its best he doesnt talk about brick infront of his kids
@Rosjuice What about two?
Can Somebody please list all the songs from this Video? I'm in search for more Ben Folds songs! It would be better if you could answer sooner rather than later. Thanks
Okay, so this is late, but the songs played are:
One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces
You Don't Know Me
Underground
Brick
Rockin' the Suburbs
Landed
House
Don't Change Your Plans
Still
You Don't Know Me (again)
And they said "Ah! What the hell are you doing!"

Hello Lacy, how are you doing
check out the guy with the glasses' music - Ryan Lerman -- he's got really cool songs up on his youtube channel
Hunh! He said Craptone! Snork!
Any one know the name of the song at the end?
@Elcaminotodeath - You Don't Know Me featuring Regina Spektor from Way to Normal (2009)
What song is it at 5:25? Only one I can't identify
I know this is an old post, but have you managed to find out the name of that song? Thanks!
catalin balaceanu Don’t Change Your Plans
Don’t Change Your Plans
Ryan Lerman with the record scratch?
6:12 Why is there a pic of Stephen King and Weird Al?😆
Jajajajajaja.
he says crap and the boy laughs :D
@burpo or ring star.
His kids are so bored hahaha.
1:22
His daughter is texting
@TheBenFoldsFan123 : Sure... But that doesn't answer the question. Why did Ben think it would be a good idea to putting his kids in the background....?
why not? it's a nice snapshot of life
Really damned good. Just...shit-damn.
"Darren's better than that"
they're probably just acting for the camera.... lol
Kids, your dad is my hero. Don't like 'Rocking the Suburbs.' Sorry Ben.
What are those kids doing there in the background? They seem quite bored and uninterested to me....
i clicked this cuz i thought that was noodles from offspring
Kids are total douche factor 10. They don’t care about dad’s legacy. They will lap up his hard earned spoils though. Ben: We love you ❤️
He seems WAY too young to be doing a retrospective. He's hardly mid-career!
The pacing and interruptions in this video are beyond obnoxious. Honestly this is the last enjoyable thing I have ever seen or heard from Ben Folds. Nice to see his kids growing up, even if they clearly have no idea how incredible their father is.
Three people have no soul.

Based on some of Ben's music and videos, like Rockin' The Suburbs, I'm sure this video was made tongue-in-cheek.
Ha, that was supposed to read "least enjoyable." Yes, I'm sure it was deliberate. But that doesn't make it not obnoxious.
