I can't even begin to describe
how much this song means to me.
I suppose that's why I
have it as the first track.
Thanks to Kelly for the flute!

The first Ben song I ever posted
for others to hear online.
One main layer of piano.
A few extra bass notes here and there.
A few changed lyrics from the
original.

I changed just a few words to
better fit my own past situation.
Played and sung at the same time.

the War
The sister song to The Last Polka.
Another one where
I changed a few lyrics to better
fit to my own life.
Piano and vocal at the same time.
Layered Back-up.

I do a shitload of pretending
in my own life. This song just fits.
I did the entire thing when I
was bored one night at 2 AM.
Took an hour and a half, and
I've changed nothing since.

Not
the Same
Thanks to Aaron!
This is one of the first songs
I remember plucking out the
day after the first time I saw
Ben live.

One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces
Thanks again to Aaron for helping
me get that bass line!
This was the last piano track
I did. It could be hella better,
but it was getting to the point
where I just wanted the CD
to be DONE after working on it
for so, so long.
One layer of piano.

This song I had figured out on
piano before I really got into
Ben Folds. It's always
been one of my favourites, and I hope
to dance to it at my wedding.....someday.
A little low for the
vocal, but I suppose it turned
out all right.
One layer of piano.

I just love this song. Had
to get some Jazzy Folds on
the CD, but damned if I could
play it!
Thanks to Marc!

This was fun to do, but the tempos
are horrible and the
solo lags terribly, sorry guys!
Didn't wanna redo it.
Thanks Steve for the Sax!

I thought this was a great piece
to end the CD with.
The key change section has layered
piano.
