El trio formado por Ben Folds, Darren Jessee y Robert Sledge con excelente sentido del humor y una inteligencia poco vista en el pop fue capaz de producir albumes como Whatever and ever amen o Naked baby Photos. Sus canciones son sarcásticas y con algo de humor negro como en Song for the Dumped o increiblemente trabajadas y bellas como en Magic.
El último trabajo de la banda fue en 1999 con The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. Suceso que dio pie a la fructífera carrera solista de Ben Folds, lider de la banda.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
HOLD THAT THOUGHT by BEN FOLDS FIVE From the album "The Sound of the Life of the Mind"
INTRO: F#sus2maj7
VERSE: F#B She broke down and cried at the strip mall acupuncturist F# While the world went on outside F# The Chinese doctor took her arm BF# Gazed at the floor, and read her wrist for the secrets in her mind
CHORUS: G#m "Here's your medicine," she said BF# "If you not smile at him, then someone else will" G#m You hold that thought BF# And I'll hold that thought too C#BF# Ooooooh - ooooh C#BAG Ooooooh - ooooh
VERSE: F#B I was shown the 36 ways I'm not available F# On a simple easy chart F#B Later on that evening on the beach in Santa Monica F# It was a very risky start
CHORUS: G#m Suppose this stupid chart is right BF# In a year will you still feel the same way? G#m Well, you hold that thought BF# And I'll hold that thought too C#BF# Ooooooh - ooooh C#BAG Ooooooh - ooooh

F#sus4 Ah C# Ah
VERSE: B Did you ever see the film where a man who's given spectacles F# That make the world look upside down? F#B He falls about the place, but in time he somehow readjusts G#m And when they take the glasses off BF# The eyes he's always had see sky below him and he falls again
CHORUS: G#m Well, you hold that thought B And I'll hold that thought G#m You hold that thought B And I'll hold that thought G#m You hold that thought B And I'll hold that thought
