Why I Cry Lyrics
All the summer days
Where we used to play
Walking hand in hand
Castles in the sand
So you say good night
But you meant good bye
Now our love has died
This is why i cry
From the madding crowd
Pointing up at clouds
Summer turned to fall
Pictures on the wall

This is a cover of song originally performed by The Magnetic Fields.
Ben's version of this song is far superior to the MF version in my opinion. I love his attempt at a falsetto and the child's xylophone.
This song is something only Ben could pull off. I'm not sure if he uses a xylophone or a miniature piano like I had as a kid, because it sounds a lot like my piano.
jesus, i didn't even realize that that was ben singing.
that's definitely a xylophone.
I think the Magnetic Fields did it better.
This version just sounds a bit harsh for me. Harsh to listen to.
I think that he's using bells or a glockenspiel, purely because of the bright sound and the fact that a xylophone (being made out of wood) would be too cumbersome for just a recording at home. OR he may just be using a keyboard or immitation of a glockenspiel. It's Ben Gibbard: who knows?
Oh yeah... and this song is awesome. EVERYBODY (who doesn't know who it is) thinks it's a girl singing. I like the Magnetic Fields version and this one equally as much.
i've heard over 100 of this man's songs, and i'm in love with him.. but i didn't even realize it was his voice 'til i read about it.
this guy has some talent.
Music: Keep in that a child's xylophone is only about a foot long.
this song is kinda embarrassing in my opinion
