    I am 55 years old. Former rock percussionist. My dad was a dance band leader. Music has always been huge in my life.
    This song has IT all. Purely one of the finest songs ever charted. In an age where "they don't make 'em like that anymore", Ben Folds did.

    This song came out a few years after I finally made my way out of a really fucked up and physically abusive relationship, and honestly, NOTHING ELSE has ever put the mirror to my face, made me see what had been happening, and helped me cope with what I'd been through the way THIS SONG did, years later. I still cry - and I don't even know why anymore, but I think maybe JOY - every time I hear this song.

    It is a masterpiece from a musical genius....the song has everything. Ben Folds, whilst enjoying a substantial following, remains grossly underrated. It's always great to see people newly discovering Ben.....he's been around a long time now, and has a huge body of work....there is never a time when i play his stuff that I am not moved emotionally, or where I cannot find portions of Me and my own life within his lyrics...such is his real talent.

      Lindsey, I agree! I happened upon this music around 2004 when I just didn't see anything else out there. In my time,..the vocals and instrumentals HIT YOUR SOUL! Ben Folds filled that need! I wished there were more bands out there like this now! :(

      Ben Folds is the soundtrack to the last 22 years of my life. Good times, hard times, raising my children...my whole adult life. So many memories tied up in his songs, and now my young adult children are fans. My middle son and I are driving to Nashville tomorrow to see him in concert, it will be the 4th time we have seen him together. He is a musical genius, for sure!

    • @effigy8093

      On the up side, he’s influenced so many other artists, which is arguably even better than a period of steady radio play before dropping off. Counting Crows even mention him in a song :)

    Ben Folds wrote this song after his label wanted a hit. He kept coming to them with different songs they didn't think were right.
    He said, "What Elton John song do you want me to write?'
    They said "Tiny Dancer".
    The man is a genius. The story makes this song amazing.

    somehow I forgot about this song for like, ten years. I came back to listen to it as an adult who's since endured a couple emotionally abusive relationships, and I've never heard another one that captures the sort of fragile, exhausted liberation of realizing you're free as you limp home.

    We'd hit the bottom,
    I thought it was my fault
    And in a way I guess it was
    I'm just now finding out
    What it was all about
    Moved to the west coast away from everyone
    She never told me that you called
    Back when I was still, I was still in love
    Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door
    And the clouds came tumbling down
    And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
    And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
    Had to leave myself behind
    I've been flying high all night
    So come pick me up...I've landed
    The daily dramas she made from nothing
    So nothing ever made them right
    She liked to push me and talk me back down
    Until I believed I was the crazy one,
    and in a way
    I guess I was...
    But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
    And the clouds came tumbling down
    And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
    Treading a sea of a troubled mind
    Had to leave myself behind
    Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried
    If you wrote me off I'd understand it
    Because I've been on some other planet
    So come pick me up...
    I've landed
    And you will be so
    happy to know
    I've come alone,
    it's over
    But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
    And the clouds came tumbling down
    And it's by my goodbye I tried
    Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
    It's OK to call
    Now I'll answer for myself
    Come pick me up,
    ...I've landed

    There is a power and subtlety to his music. Those are a powerful combination that pop music just doesn't provide. In any era really. This is the type of music that sticks with you. Makes you think. Whereas songs like "Girls Just Want to Have fun" or "Old Town Road" may be fun and have a sick beat, but completely lack in substance to give the song lasting significance. People see music more and more as a vehicle for dancing and less and less as an expression of the human soul. I am grateful for musicians like Ben Folds who keep it real in their music.

    I remember listening to this song on a plane from Jackson, MS on a rainy day on Jan 15, 2006. The album had just came out, and I had just ended a 7 year relationship, in which I was the bad guy for the last 3 years of the relationship. My final destination, Parris Island, SC. Though things never turned around, I headed for the west coast and then over seas(Japan). Maybe this song is why I found peace in a strange land? Either way, I always find solidarity in this track.

    I cant believe I forgot about this song and the band but this is one of the great-extreme musical talent that would go through the roof right now.

    Ah, so powerful and emotive in a way that still gives me goosebumps all these years after first hearing it.
    Ben Folds, you sir are a genius!

    Thanks Ben Folds for writing another great song that expresses just the thing for these precocious moments in life. I couldn't say it as honestly as you have, and so thank you kindly. Minnie Lou Raper loves you...

    To all...Please(!!!!) know that it wasn’t your fault. Never let anyone tell you. I know it hurts, but it’s nothing that was on you to fix. It’s ok. I understand.

    Brick was maybe my first Ben Folds fave, staying up late to watch VH1 while my dad slept on the couch nearby. Since then I've been a fan of old and new. Just finished his book and I'm even more in love. I saw him play at the Pinewood Bowl and it was amazing!

    I ended up here from listening to old Gervais/Pilkington/Merchant shows. The uploader has to cut out the songs for copyright reasons, but you hear the first and last couple of seconds. And that intro piano lick is on fire. Ben gets a fiiine sound out of a piano. Gona listen again.

    A connection between Ben Folds being the first artistic advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center? Question everything. The past has a way, of proofing future.

    I have heard most of your music.
    Something about this song makes me feel happy and complete.
    I can't say you are a genius or the best songwriter ever
    I can say that you can touch the souls of some people and make their life decisions kinda make sense.
    Day to day. Person to person. Each decision is different.
    This song is great, your songwriting is amazing, and I don't want to see you naked.
