In a story similar to ilikefruchocs, I first heard this song for the first time while taking a shower and listening to my ipod on a night last spring when I was very depressed and disappointed in myself. I didn't know what song it was but I recognized Ben Folds' voice and went downstairs and spent half an hour listening to Ben Folds songs on my computer until I found this one, the last one I clicked on. It meant more to me then than any song had ever meant before and it is still one of my favorite songs. It is also the first song I ever performed by myself when I played and sang it for a talent show this fall at my high school. It is so simple and yet so beautiful because of all the emotion that Ben Folds put into it. Although he wrote it about his dad, I think it can apply to anyone who is depressed and disappointed in themselves. I know Ben Folds will never read this but if for some reason he does, I want to tell him thanks for being there for me.
