Lyrics

We’d hit the bot tom,

I thought it was my fault,

and in a way I guess it was.

I’m just now find ing out

what it was all a bout.

We moved to the west coast,

a way from ev ’ry one.

She nev er told me that you called,

back when I was still,

I was still in love.

Till I (Bb)op ened my eyes and walked out the door and the (Cm)clouds came tum bl ing down, and it’s (Eb)“bye bye.

Good bye, I tried.”

And I (Bb)twist ed it wrong, just to (Fm)make it right, had to (Cm)leave my self be hind, and I’ve been (Eb)fly ing high all night.

So come pick me up,

I’ve land ed.

The dai ly dra mas

she made from no thing,

so no thing ev er made them right.

She liked to push me

and talk me back down till I be lieved I was the cra zy one, and (Eb)in a way I guess I was.

But I (Bb)op ened my eyes and walked out the door and the (Cm)clouds came tum bl ing down, and it’s (Eb)“bye bye.

Good bye, I tried.”

(Bb)Tread ing the sea of her trou (Fm)bled mind had to (Cm)leave my self be hind sing ing (Eb)“bye bye.

Good bye, I tried.”

If you wrote me off

I’d un der stand it ’cause I’ve been on

some oth er plan et.

So come pick me up,

I’ve land ed.

And you will be

so

hap py to know

I’ve come a lone.

It’s ov er.

But I

Come pick me up.

Come pick me up.

I’ve land ed.

About “Landed”

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Landed" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Bb, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Landed" by Ben Folds in?
The backing track is in Bb at 88 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Landed" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Landed"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Landed", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Landed" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Landed"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Landed"?
"Landed" was originally performed by Ben Folds. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Ben Folds are available?
Other accompaniments by Ben Folds: "Jesusland", "Still Fighting It". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Bb, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Landed" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
