“Over the last 15 years, Ben Folds’ first-class melodic gifts, irony-laced lyrics, and punk-rock tendency to play piano as if it were a contact sport have earned the North Carolina native a legion of devoted fans of all ages,” (Ben Folds site). Under the same album as their highly popular single, “Brick,” the song “Evaporated“, this evening’s featured mental minute music, self reported as one of their most difficult pieces to date due to its outward simplicity, is a song “about loss.” ~Ben Folds Five.
