Listen

Do It Anyway - Ben Folds Five

And if you’re paralysed by a voice in your head
It’s the standing still that should be scaring you instead

“Sometimes life is about being sad and doing things anyway. Sometimes it’s about being hurt and doing things anyway. The point isn’t perfection. The point is doing it anyway. ”

Ben Folds Five - Do It Anyway

And if you’re paralyzed by a voice in your head
It’s the standing still that should be scaring you instead
Go on and
Do it anyway

This isn’t my favorite song on the album - that would be Draw A Crowd - but the lyrics here get me.

Also… I’m not sure how or when it happened, but at some point Ben Folds’ piano-playing became the least talked about part of this band. This song brings it squarely back into focus; holy crap, what an incredible performance.

Finally, the first track to come off of Ben Folds Five’s NEW album, coming in September. The band isn’t signed to a label or officially promoting the album, but instead relying on fans and the internet to spread the word. I suppose I’m doing my part, however small it is. Read about the album here.

The Paradoxical Commandments

by Dr. Kent M. Keith

  1. People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
  2. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. 
  3. If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. 
  4. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. 
  5. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. 
  6. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. 
  7. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. 
  8. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. 
  9. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. 
  10. Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.
