    Everybody knows
    It sucks to grow up
    And everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here.
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
    You'll try and try and one day you'll fly
    Away from me

    In addition I noticed he married his third wife, Australian (;-) photographer Frally Hynes in 99 , but confirmed his divorce on June 5, 2007 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Folds]

    He may write great lyrics, but after his 3rd divorce, I wonder what he's still fighting :-)

  2. I told a coworker that I was a really big fan of Ben's. My coworker said he didn't like his music because it is depressing. I thought about it a while and reallized it was write. The more I analyzed his songs the more I realized patterns of loss, anger, and depression in his music. Personally, I think that he's got some issues with depression and anger. It is a though thing to face up to in life. Hope fully he does. Then maybe he can do a remake of the Brady Bunch's "Sunshine Day." lol
