Ben Folds Performs “Capable Of Anything”, “Landed” For Georgia Comes Alive [Watch]

On Saturday, December 26th, 50+ artists and hundreds of thousands of viewers around the world came together for Georgia Comes Alive, a virtual music festival aimed at promoting voter participation in Georgia’s critical Senate runoff elections on January 5th, 2021.

One of the many world-renowned acts to take part in the nine-hour livestream was none other than pianist, composer, and singer Ben Folds who delivered a two-song performance of “Capable of Anything” and “Landed”.

The performance, delivered by way of black-and-white video, began with “Capable of Anything”, the opening track from Folds’ 2015 album, So There. The busy tune heard the solo Folds sing out meaningful and optimistic lyrics like “You’re capable of anything/And I’m sure they meant you could be president” and “We’re told we are capable of anything/But you don’t seem to think that you are capable of anything.”

Following a brief yet amusing false start, Folds’ second song, “Landed”, kept the energy going with its beautiful piano opening and sing-a-long-worthy chorus, which this time was that of a toned-down, relaxed rendition of the 2005 original.
