Ben Folds is surely one of the finest songsmiths, singers, and pianists alive. I think his new song 2020 is a perfect example – the lilting waltz is a perfect setting for his lyrics reflecting on the historic year we are all living through.
Apologies for recommending a song with a no-no word at 1:50, but he might just make up for it with his thrilling rallentando at 1:57-2:02.
