''Songs for Silverman'' is the second solo studio album by Ben Folds, released in April 2005 by Epic Records. The album reached No. 13 on the ''Billboard'' 200, making it Folds' highest-charting album until the release of ''Way to Normal'' in 2008. The album is named after Ben Goldman, Folds' former A&R representative at Sony BMG. Folds explained, "I was always sending songs to him for the album, so I wanted to name it after him. But somebody (from Sony) found out and flipped out, so I changed it a bit and turned it in."〔http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3298162,00.html〕 Goldman's name also spawned the title of Folds' compilation album ''Songs for Goldfish''. ==Singles== The first single, "Landed", reached No. 77 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and No. 40 on the Adult Top 40. A planned United Kingdom issue was cancelled, though the single received a digital-only release. The single "Jesusland" reached No. 2 on the UK airplay chart in October 2005. It has also been playlisted by Xfm London and BBC Radio 2 (which lists it as "download only"). The track was slated for a UK single release in September 2005, but it never made it to store shelves. The video for the single features Matt Lucas as a televangelist interspersed with scenes of a journey through what may well be "Jesusland" itself. The track was featured in the 2008 documentary ''Religulous''. The album's next UK single, "Late", was written as a tribute to the recently deceased singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Songs for Silverman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
