It’s a bit of a rough day. For a couple of reasons. But my Ben Folds always knows what to say. The song today is from his latest album So There, and the song is “Capable of Anything.” It’s not always about being capable of the greatness we’re told as children. Here are are few lines; the video follows.
“Swung and missed
I put my heart in this
Mythical holy good guy I want so bad to be
But I was weak and wrong
And when I owned it all
It only made you rightous now
You get to blame your life on me but,
I
Stopped
Caring what you think about me
I
Gave up”
This was exactly the way he sang it a few months ago when I saw him. Wonderful. I cried. But of course I did.
