Ben Folds and Nick Hornby have now written an album together.
It happens to contain one of the better sad songs of the past decade.
Picture Window's immediate and obvious reference point is Brick, a song that's now 13years old. Where once the talk was the tale of abortion, now the character has moved inside the hospital.
Hornby's lyrics are what they are: "they checked into the hospital New Year's Eve". Or are they Hornby's lyrics, there are suggestions doing the rounds that this might more accurately be described as an adeptation of a Hornby story.
Folds has been playing the song live for a year, Youtube atests to it.
