Ben Folds' cover of Such Great Heights



Uploaded by: ColdandComposed
Video Description:
from jTV in Australia, Ben Folds' Like a Version from 2006, The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights." AND! You may or may not believe it, but The Postal Service's version IS the original. NOT Iron & Wine. Check your facts before arguing about it.
Looking for the MP3? http://wokeupwaytoolate.com/filedump/Solo%20Tracks/Ben%20Folds%20-%20Such%20Great%20Heights.mp3 NAMED #70 on Triple J's Top 100 of 2006. Pretty good for a cover! Ben says that he forgot that he was supposed to be on Like a Version and "had to cover a popular song, and turned
on my ipod and this was the most recently listened to song and found some drummers in the studio" (11/5/06 in Columbia, MO).... and tada, here we are. On the spot first time thing. Check how he's doing it now on other videos.

Who cares? Ben Gibbard ruins the Postal Service all the time, but he still kicks ass.

Actually, Ben was assisted in writing the chorus for the song.
So that makes the number of people who actually wrote brick a whopping... 2 people. 2 people.

cool that he covers this but iron and wine and postal service both rock it harder.
Actually. Darren ... ( 1 week ago by ColdandComposed)
Actually. Darren had the chorus before Ben wrote the rest of it... so it's more like Ben did the assisting, I'd think. Whatever though, Darren Jessee and Ben Folds are both awesome songwriters. And if you haven't checked out Hotel Lights (Darren's new band) you ought to.

this is bad. but ben folds is still shweet.
The shape of his ... ( 4 days ago by minwav)
The shape of his damned head reminds me of an astronaut. Also he's so at peace with that damned whiny pitch-challenged voice of his - there's probably a gene-malfunction in there somewhere. Isn't he from the South? Probably a little bit of in-breeding up his branch a bit...he can sure write a song though. It just makes me angry how at peace he is with his whiny production and cutsy arrangements. Dressing down and being determined to have no pretension is actually a form of vanity.

Yeah I saw him doing it live last week and it was much tighter and his voice sounded stronger

Thats your opinion ... ( 1 day ago by livemorbidia)
Thats your opinion but quite frankly I don't give a shit what fags like you say Ben Folds sucks ass. Iron and Wine rules the hell out of this song. You can actually feel the emotion in their cover, Ben Folds sounds like he's having his nuts squashed while he's singing.
