Stunning! It's such a pleasure to see the famous "Gracie Girl" has come into her own.

[@boob944]

This was amazing. As a long time Ben fan... you are made your dad, Ben Folds, and his fans proud. That was beautiful.

[@usedEarplugs]

Shoutout Tristan prelude, if anyone else is a huge music school nerd or opera fan, and many flowers to the arranger, orchestra and Gracie!

[@JustJimTV]

I’m saddened to see so few have seen this and far few have liked it. Best wishes to the artists involved in this production and thank you for your work.

[@ChilliCheezdog]

Gracie girl has a delightfully clear and commanding voice.

[@samuelbasher7230]

you should check out her EP “pink elephant,” it’s absolutely fantastic

[@jasminholley322]

Her voice is so lovely

[@andyturnbullguitarteacher]

Wow! Ben is my favourite songwriter of all time. I can’t wait to see what Gracie does.

[@nickhoughton7025]

How have I only found this now?

[@rhondafelkins7337]

[@marryellenmonahan5585]

So beautiful ❤

[@oliverpope4915]

Fantastic arrangement. Killed it Gracie

[@69voxbeetle]

I absolutely Loved this!!

[@Thejoshuacarter01]

Gracie is great here, but as a side note, they should always include the name of the arranger/orchestrator for something like this. At least in the video credits.

[@cindicstamps]

Watch till the end. The info is there.

[@candlelightkiller]

stunning

[@pkmentoring]

I’m a huge Ben Folds fan. That being said, the way this performance is portrayed it looks as though his daughter wrote this song. I couldn’t help but feel a little let down when the credits at the end show that the song was written by a Julien Baker.

[@JohnFix]

Julien is an amazing singer/songwriter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJOlYaF7ophladEsi=Jb4PW4DVMRYzPzN_

[@SedonaWishingWell]

When was this performance?

[@auburnkelton2387]

I think this was March 2019

[@ezrac704]

It says at the end, March 8th, 2019

[@Coocoocachoo809]

what is the symphonic quote at the very opening?

[@gregmilka7452]

Wagner - Tristan and Isolde

[@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell]

the outro is nice but most of the instrumental is really discordant to the mood of the original song and the lyrics. also, why repeat the lyrics twice?

[@st20332]

Perhaps she was short of time and didn't have another verse prepared, as said at the beginning, she was an emergency perfomance in place for someone who were ill

[@deeznuts7743]

The pale fir spatially behave because north concordingly talk during a foolish forecast. chilly, curved book

[@robhodges6019]

Goes without saying, really.
