"kate" by Ben Folds

This is a great song, not only because it's my name, but because I love Ben's piano intro. It's really upbeat and sounds a little of 50's style rock and roll...anyway, it has some interesting chord progressions from the transitions to the chorus, and uses a lot of 7th chords. It has a really cool bass solo right after the 2nd chorus.

I also have always thought he was a really good lyricist ("When all words fail sheSpeaks,Her mix tape’s a masterpiece-walks through the garden so the roses can see, oh why...have you got nothing to say"). This album "Whatever and Ever Amen" has some awesome songs, "Kate" being one of them.
