Ben Folds Five - Brick

"Brick" is not a movie or a television show, but rather a poignant song by the American alternative rock band, Ben Folds Five. Released in 1997 as part of their album "Whatever and Ever Amen," the song explores themes of love, loss, and the difficult decisions one may face in life.

With Ben Folds as lead vocalist and pianist, the band also includes Robert Sledge on bass and Darren Jessee on drums. Together, they create a beautiful and melancholic sound that perfectly complements the introspective lyrics of "Brick".

In this emotionally charged track, the story follows a couple facing the tough choice of an abortion. It delves into their relationship as they grapple with their decision and the everlasting impact it will have on their lives. The haunting melodies and heartfelt vocals capture the raw emotions surrounding such a personal and sensitive topic.

And I walk down to buy her flowers
And I'm alone
And sell some gifts that I got
And we drive
Can't you see
Car seat is freezing
Cause I was tired of lying
Driving back to her apartment
For the moment we're alone
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
I am numb
I pace around the parking lot
I throw some clothes on in the dark
I'm feeling more alone
It showed that she was not fine
It's not me you're dying for
Now I know it
Now she's feeling more alone
Now that I have found someone
She broke down and I broke down
She is balled up on the couch
She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
Six a.m. day after Christmas
Than I ever have before
The smell of cold
The world is sleeping
Then she ever has before
They told me, "Son it's time to tell the truth," and
They're not home to find us out
Up the stairs to her apartment
