アメリカのロック・ミュージシャン。本名Benjamin Scott Folds。
ヴォーカルとピアノをメインに、様々な楽器をこなすマルチプレイヤーでもある。

「（Ben Foldsは）あまりメタファーに重きを置いてない。だから言ってることはそのままの意味だ」と言われています。

この曲も彼の友人の身に起こった実話に基づいています。
他人を異常なまでに管理したがる女性と結婚し、西海岸に引っ越したものの、家族や友人からすっかり引き離されたとか。最終的にその女性と離婚した後、友人のBen Foldsにその時のことを話してくれたそうです。

We’d hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I’m just now finding out
What it was all about

We’d moved to the west coast
Away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still
I was still in love

‘Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it’s bye-bye goodbye I tried
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
I had to leave myself behind
And I’ve been flying high all night

So come pick me up
I’ve landed

The daily dramas
She made from nothing
So nothing ever made it right

She liked to push me
And talk me back down
‘Till i believed I was the crazy one
And in a way
I guess I was

‘Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it’s bye-bye goodbye I tried
Treading the sea of a troubled mind
I had to leave myself behind
Singin’ bye-bye goodbye I tried

If you wrote me off
I’d understand it
‘Cause I’ve been on
Some other planet
So come pick me up
I’ve landed

And you will be so
Happy to know
I’ve come alone
It’s over

And I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it’s bye-bye goodbye I tried
Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It’s okay to call
And I will answer for myself
Come pick me up
Come pick me up
I’ve landed
