15/365: Capable of Anything

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.
