是美国创作型歌手Ben Folds所演唱的歌曲。

Ben Folds Five是由Ben Folds组建的并非像他名字所说的那样是个五人组合，其实其中只有三位成员，和Keane有着同一个共同点，乐队中都没有吉他，钢琴就成了主要的乐器，这不是Ben Folds第一次抛弃乐队，独自发行专辑，之前他已经有过几张专辑，虽然没有得到重大的商业上和流行榜上的突破，不过为这张专辑奠定了基础，新专辑并没有让人感到意外，钢琴依然是专辑的主要乐器，主打歌曲Landed也是在Billboard改变统计排行榜方法之后，第一首Ben Folds登上排行榜前100的歌曲，完美的钢琴器乐，无暇的嗓音，还有不可少的吸引人的抒情旋律，像是Train还是男版的Venessa Carlton？另一点没有让人意外的就是从头至尾的钢琴抒情，没有Ben Folds Five的摇滚，没有惊耸的情绪的激荡，是一张很轻柔的钢琴曲合辑，Bastard，这首第二首单曲，让听者回到了十年前的音乐场景，过往的钢琴曲。Ben Folds的嗓音和钢琴结合在一起是最至真的搭配，他的嗓音没有过多的修饰，原始的相当真诚，在细微的起伏中同样可以体会到微妙的感情融入，欣赏You To Thank的钢琴，技巧上的突出给这首歌以经典的荣耀，写给女儿的Gracie让人对做父亲的Ben Folds慧心一笑。Trusted有着专辑中最厚重的节奏。听完之后，让人想起了Billy Jone和他的Piano Man。

Ben Folds在Ben Folds Five的创作时期便展现身为钢琴手对流行旋律的掌控能力，单飞之后，Ben Folds似乎逐渐收敛摇滚叛逆的因子，朝向更为成熟内省的创作风格。这张新专辑可以听出这股明显的音乐取向。几乎那些可以拿来单曲的歌曲例如”Landed”、”Trusted”、”Late”、”Give Judy My Notice”都有着漂亮的旋律，与四平八稳的编曲，当然他还依然保有那手明亮激昂的钢琴旋律。”Give Judy My Notice”明晃晃如湖面泛光的Pedal Steel音色，与轻快的钢琴旋律合奏出一段恋人分手的告白。向去年自杀身亡的美国民谣摇滚歌手Elliot Smith致敬的”Late”这首歌，隐隐约约的吉他刷弹声像是Elliot的回音，Ben Folds抑郁的歌声娓娓道出他对Elliot Smith之死的惋惜。至于首支单曲”Landed”鲜明的歌词意象与流畅的旋律绝对是他的经典之作。

The Luckiest歌词：

I don't get many things right the first time

In fact, I am told that a lot

Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls

Brought me here

And where was I before the day

That I first saw your lovely face?

Now I see it everyday

And I know

That I am

I am

I am

The luckiest

What if I'd been born fifty years before you

In a house on a street where you lived?

Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike

Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes

I see one pair that I recognize

And I know

That I am

I am

I am

The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties

And one day passed away in his sleep

And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days

And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong

That I know

That I am

I am

I am

The luckiest
