Ben’s been my favorite musician for over a decade. Just recently I moved into my first apartment-right as he dropped this album. I knew this song was gonna hit a whole new chord once I made it here. Now here I am. On my own. Far from home. For the first time in my life. 10 minutes into my own Winslow gardens. And with tears on my face, I can say, I was right. I hate you Ben. Glad you’re back.
One of my favorite musicians from childhood. I love you Ben. Many bands have come and gone but your voice is linked to a memory from nearly every one of the last 35 years. Thank you for being so wonderful at what you do.
It seems only three things are certain in life. Death, taxes, and that Ben Folds can do no wrong. Absolutely epic first track and can't wait for the full album!
Back when this came out it took about four seconds for me to fall in love with and groove with it. It's like he fell out of bed and just just did Ben Folds things all over again.
We took our kids to see Ben Folds at Montalvo Arts Center when they were 4 and 7. He politely asked the audience to remove the kids before he sang "Bitches Ain't Shit" by Snoop Dogg. Our kids hid under a blanket, but peeked out anyway. It was pretty entertaining. Now we have tickets to see Ben at The Fox Theater, and they are 14 and 17, and sing "Rockin' the Suburbs" like pros. Can't wait to end the 10 year drought. :)
My daughter (aged 9) and I have been waiting for this new album since I heard he was working on one last year. I've seen him live a few times, but together we've gone to a couple of his concerts where he plays with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. They've been amazing, and such a great introduction to the orchestra experience for her.
I took my daughter to see BF in 2009 when she was but 8 years old. Now a college senior, she alerted me to this new song. A great gift to turn your child on to music you love and have them become a fan.
Will never understand why he's not been as popular as Elton or Billy - IMHO, his best work stand comparison with them both. So looking forward to this new album - a long time coming - 8 years !!! Have got my tickets for his UK tour -- woo-hoo!!

Nice 7 groove. Nice turn at the bridge. Nice lyrics. I was just thinking how it would be cool to have a new B-B-Ben folds album. Thanks for putting this up!
Mr. Ben Folds, if you're reading this, I want you know that I'm a huge fan of your music. I remember listening to your songs from the film "Over the Hedge". It's my favorite DreamWorks movie of all-time, and also my 2nd favorite film of all-time (behind The Lego Movie). I love your songs "Family of Me", "Heist, "Still", "Rockin the Suburbs", and your cover version of "Lost in the Supermarket". It's just pure nostalgia for me. You're one of my favorites, Ben Folds!
As someone who is literally moving in this weekend with their partner to a co-op in Queens, this hits really really hard. Love the 7/4, love the chord changes, will forever love how Ben Folds always comes at the right time. Brilliant.
I was just just talking with a friend about how the pandemic and lockdown seems to have passed entirely unremarked upon in popular music, and then here comes Ben to tell a story about it, capturing the feeling with a pop song in 7/4. Great song.

Someone needs to make a play with all of Ben folds music. Such great story telling.
I feel like the unauthorized biography of reinhold Messner is a Broadway musical
Yes!! I’ve thought this for so long, all of his songs tell such rich stories
Been saying that for years! C'mon broadway people, I'ts right under your nose
I'm actually part of a writing team that's currently working on one.
@@TonyPellegrino5 You better not be kidding LOL. Keeping my eyes and ears out for this. That'll be EPIC!
Oh man CLASSIC Folds, good stuff
This is actually awesome. Seems to be in 7/4 time, and it works really well.
I was about to ask what the time signature was! It's nice to hear artists with an imagination who stray from the 4/4 path.
He confirmed it is indeed 7/4 time :)
It is definitely 7/4 time.
I wish I could add a new like every time I listen to this song.
definitely grammy winning.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I love you Ben Folds and your music is so very necessary.
Where my Folds Fans at?!?!?
YES!!! I've been wanting some new music from Ben Folds! I'm so looking forward to this album!
Great song. Last year in St. Louis with the symphony was most excellent. The accompanists add that extra dimension.
I was at that show!
Can’t wait for the album and subsequent tour!!

This song is a solid bop, and I don't ussualy listen to good ol folds
Sounds like an extended theme tune to a corny sitcom from the 70s
Listening to new Ben Folds always gives me goosebumps.
Strange, had the same impact on me. A new song, but somehow nostalgic.
When the world needed him most, He returned!
I was just crying to my friends about how there hasn't been a new Ben Folds album in a while. I am so fucking excited.
Sounds like the friends theme song
@@roberthorry621 Really?
@@scholes100 I wish that theme song was half as good as this track.
Absolutely loved Ben's last album and can't wait for this one to come out.
This is a beautiful song. 👍
Feels like the song has been with us for years. Glad to see a new one hit the webs today.
Nice 7 groove. Nice turn at the bridge. Nice lyrics. I was just thinking how it would be cool to have a new B-B-Ben folds album. Thanks for putting this up!
Lifelong Folder since the self-titled BF5 1995 album. This song takes me right back to misty water-colored high school.
Every single song this man makes, is undoubtedly a masterpiece.
sweet use of 7/4 ben, excited to be a getting a new record!

Rock piano song in 7/4 thanks.
I don't know why, but this song was written in 60fps, at the least.

Brilliant 🌹💎🌹

Ben is a musical genius 💛
Beautiful and wistful. Looking forward to the new full album. Couldn't love this guy more. ❤️

Seven-four, gimme more. Great stuff, BF.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍/👍👍👍👍
FINALLY! A new album that isn’t a collaborative of some sort!
Love you mucho
Oh, 7/8 Ben, eh? lol ROCK ON MAN. This song actually gives me Amelia Bright and early BF demo vibes.
This is AMAZING!!
Sounds like a perfect blend of Ben Folds Five, The Cure and The Beatles all wrapped up as Ben - can't wait for the album!!!!!
Some Steely Dan thrown in to the middle 8 for good measure.

This is 'Inside' erasure and I won't stand for it
This was one of my favorite pandemic videos ua-cam.com/video/G3NnLQv4CZk/v-deo.html
@@digipunk618 OK that was pretty rad
... um, friend, did you never hear "2020"? Ben literally song-captured it years ago.
Love hearing the 7/4 meter in this great tune!
Reminiscent of the 90s. I love it.
I hear the friends theme guitar riff, I can’t help it, but this also sounds like his older music which is super dope
Reading the comments here reminds me how I love that so many Ben Folds fans are fellow musicians 😀🎹🎶
Another Ben F Gem .. sooo good .. Chords and Melody and clever time sig crafting
Wow, such an instant classic Ben Folds tune. So beautiful. Im ready for more!
Just love Ben Folds…awesome in concert! ❤
He’s back 🥹🥹
Sending a warm smile from LA. :)
