I am 55 years old. Former rock percussionist. My dad was a dance band leader. Music has always been huge in my life. This song has IT all. Purely one of the finest songs ever charted. In an age where "they don't make 'em like that anymore", Ben Folds did.

We'd hit the bottom, I thought it was my fault And in a way I guess it was I'm just now finding out What it was all about Moved to the west coast away from everyone She never told me that you called Back when I was still, I was still in love Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door And the clouds came tumbling down And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried And I twisted it wrong just to make it right Had to leave myself behind I've been flying high all night So come pick me up...I've landed The daily dramas she made from nothing So nothing ever made them right She liked to push me and talk me back down Until I believed I was the crazy one, and in a way I guess I was... But I opened my eyes and walked out the door And the clouds came tumbling down And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried Treading a sea of a troubled mind Had to leave myself behind Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried If you wrote me off I'd understand it Because I've been on some other planet So come pick me up... I've landed And you will be so happy to know I've come alone, it's over But I opened my eyes and walked out the door And the clouds came tumbling down And it's by my goodbye I tried Down comes the reign of the telephone czar It's OK to call Now I'll answer for myself Come pick me up, ...I've landed

It is a masterpiece from a musical genius....the song has everything. Ben Folds, whilst enjoying a substantial following, remains grossly underrated. It's always great to see people newly discovering Ben.....he's been around a long time now, and has a huge body of work....there is never a time when i play his stuff that I am not moved emotionally, or where I cannot find portions of Me and my own life within his lyrics...such is his real talent.

This song came out a few years after I finally made my way out of a really fucked up and physically abusive relationship, and honestly, NOTHING ELSE has ever put the mirror to my face, made me see what had been happening, and helped me cope with what I'd been through the way THIS SONG did, years later. I still cry - and I don't even know why anymore, but I think maybe JOY - every time I hear this song.

Ben Folds wrote this song after his label wanted a hit. He kept coming to them with different songs they didn't think were right. He said, "What Elton John song do you want me to write?' They said "Tiny Dancer". The man is a genius. The story makes this song amazing.

There is a power and subtlety to his music. Those are a powerful combination that pop music just doesn't provide. In any era really. This is the type of music that sticks with you. Makes you think. Whereas songs like "Girls Just Want to Have fun" or "Old Town Road" may be fun and have a sick beat, but completely lack in substance to give the song lasting significance. People see music more and more as a vehicle for dancing and less and less as an expression of the human soul. I am grateful for musicians like Ben Folds who keep it real in their music.

I remember listening to this song on a plane from Jackson, MS on a rainy day on Jan 15, 2006. The album had just came out, and I had just ended a 7 year relationship, in which I was the bad guy for the last 3 years of the relationship. My final destination, Parris Island, SC. Though things never turned around, I headed for the west coast and then over seas(Japan). Maybe this song is why I found peace in a strange land? Either way, I always find solidarity in this track.
