Sound of the week: "Landed", Ben Folds

The piano riff is both happily optomistic and sentimental at the same time as the song builds to mirror the subject matter - Ben Folds' looking back at a bad relationship and his epiphany that he needed to get tough, say goodbye, and fly home alone. "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..." The distorted bass kicks in at the end to put it over the edge. If you like Ben Folds, you'll love the new album!
