This song is a memoir. It's about Ben Folds and his girlfriend who got pregnant and high school and had an abortion. He's talking about his personal experience and not a biased political stance. Everyone enjoy the song, and don't be so focused on politics :)
abortion will never please both sides pro choice or anti-abortion. why do people have to throw out their religious preachings and teachings around online like it is rice?
@chadbrochill19 I'm with George Carlin, The invisible man in the sky has ten things that he does not want you to do and if you do any of these things he has a special place full of fire, smoke, burning, torture and he'll send you to live until the end of time...but he loves you. How come in the bible, God has killed more people than the devil?
Some of the posters need to get a life. Do something constructive by helping someone in need. Let others worry about themselves.
This song is really good. Very sad It reminds me of seeing a ship sail away that will never return. The sinking feeling of an inevitable heartbreak or separation. Things will never be the same.
A brick is something usually used for contruction, or in this case creating, but in the end her brick like qualities destroyed their relationship. BAM.
@chadbrochill19 Whoa, buddy. No need to shove the God-card down our throats. Abortion is a choice that women make, no need to make it any different. God isn't gonna send you to hell based on it.
@chadbrochill19 Whoa, buddy. No need to shove the God-card down our throats. Abortion is a choice that women make, no need to make it any different. God isn't gonna send you to hell based on it.
@hattchixx Of course he is! God hates the shedding of innocent blood! Proverbs 6:16-17 says that God HATES those who shed innocent blood! Deuteronomy 27:25 says, "Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen."
Who could possibly be more innocent than an unborn baby?! Yet, our society has become so wicked that it condones the slaying of 1.5 million innocent children every year. The Bible says that God HATES people who do this
@chadbrochill19 Exodus 21:1-4 "If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself."
God you soapbox basement dwellers need to keep your political opinions to yourself. Its a fucking song. Listen to it and bounce. Is that rlly so hard?
Hey guys, a band called Vintage Roulette wrote a song that was influenced by some of Ben Folds' music and they are looking for feedback. The song is on the connormorrison1 channel and is easy to find because it is called NEW SONG. If you are a good song writer or a Ben Folds fan, please check it out and let them know what you think. Thanks and have a good one!!!!!
Most songs are about real life hardship or happiness. This just happens to be one of the not so cheery ones. Stuff happens. Its a song. Go preach else where. Ben Folds is pure gold. This song isnt pro or anti anything. Its just a song about something that happened.
I can really relate to profoundly feeling more alone than you've ever felt before. This song is one of the only things that can calm my overtaxed brain and get me in touch with my emotions, whatever those may be. This song also connects me to people who have been throgh these experiences and suffered in silence.
Folds himself has said that the song is about an abortion but deliberately chose not to make a political or moral position within the song itself. It is neither pro- or anti-. It is just a song about the sadness that takes place when an abortion takes place.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can't believe this song is about abortion, I used to like this song. Abortion is just so wrong. All of you people are going to hell for listening to this filth.
@chadbrochill19 The song is anti-abortion. It's about the mental anguish caused by an abortion.... You should educate yourself before you make comments like this.
@jamesyount2423 Actually. You are wrong. And I find it quite funny you say I should educate myself when you missed the point of the song so blatantly. It's about Ben Folds Five singer and his girlfriend about HAVING an abortion. Or as I like to call it, "killed their baby because they are too irresponsible to deal with their sinner like actions and will have to answer to God's wrath". If you are going to make a comment like yours, perhaps you shouldn't skip out on Sunday School.
@chadbrochill19 I said it's about the mental anguish associated with an abortion. How was I wrong? I see they don't teach critical thinking in 'Sunday School.' I might not go to your church and sit at the feet of whatever moron who taught you, but after years of studying Greek, Hebrew, and scriptural texts in their proper historical context, I can say that your interpretations are ridiculously narrow. And your condemnation rant is rejected by the large majority of Christians...
@chadbrochill19 I am very pro-life, especially right now!!! I am glad you are against abortion, but you should know that sins even of that magnitude can be forgiven by the head honcho upstairs! He is the only one that gets to judge others my friend!!! I understand your rage against killing innocent babies tho!!! Instead of condemning those that find themselves in this position, pray for them so that they may find peace!!! That's all we can do!!! Take Care!!!
@nfnkalyan You might be able to see me if you have a nice view of the Almighty and his flock. I'll be the one, oh ... not burning. I can only hope that in God's infinite wisdom, knowledge and power that he gives the Righteous the ability to see you heathens fry in the hellfire of your sins.
@chadbrochill19 that's a pretty vengeful and un-christ like thing to want. pretty sure having tendencies like that will send you to hell. don't worry. i'm bringing a fire blanket. we can share. i will also drink lots of gatorade before dying so if you're lucky i'll pee on you.
@chadbrochill19 Wow dude...can you imagine getting a girl pregnant in high school and the amount of stress that would put on you and the girl? I'm against abortion. Ben Folds and his girlfriend came to the decision to do this. Can you imagine how that must have felt at the time? Look at how much courage he has to put a song out there about his experience with abortion. He probably relives that day every time he performs this song so he doesn't need shit from people like you.
@xilef8 Well he doesn't have to worry about much in hell. It's murder -- and if you support abortions you support the murder of children. Pro-Choice? Try Pro-murder. Maybe that's more accurate. He sings a song about his crime so we can forgive him? Sorry friend but God sends people like this to hell.
@chadbrochill19 No place did I say you should forgive him for his decision. I'm just saying it takes courage to write a song about such a controversial topic that you have been a part of. You act like preaching about your life is hard because people like me are telling you to shut up. Folds wrote a song about his life and you're making his life harder than it already was by telling him what's right and wrong. You are no better than anyone telling you to stop.
@xilef8 It takes courage to remain strong and pious in the shadows of the devil's influence. To give in to temptation is weakness, not courage. Obviously Mr. Folds is vocalizing his sins and all of you are wrong to support him for doing so. For shame!
@chadbrochill19 Isn't one of the main things a lot of religions preach is confessing your sins will bring salvation? Sorry for trying to support and respect him for "vocalizing his sins" but isn't that what we should be doing? Shouldn't we be loving and accepting of all and help them through their troubles and encourage them to confess their sins to gain salvation?
how dare you misconstrue words like that, it's cunning deceitful and a great display Machiavellian behavior. What gives you the right to judge people so viciously?, last time i checked the holy trinity didn't include chadbrochill19. and if you had so much faith in your supposed "God" why bother preaching your beliefs over you tube to assumed heathens?
@gannonthegreat I don't have to judge, God has done it in his words written in the Bible. Let the sinners burn in hellfire. I will enjoy my everlasting salvation. I'll pray for you to see the error of your ways, heathen.
@EVERYONE Ben Folds explained: "People ask me what this song's about... I was asked about it a lot, and I didn't really wanna make a big hairy deal out of it, because I just wanted the song to speak for itself. But the song is about when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend had to get an abortion, and it was a very sad thing. And, I didn't really want to write this song from any kind of political standpoint, or make a statement. I just wanted to reflect what it feels like. Now every1 STFU.
Lol, I find it funny that people call vaginas and penises, 'private parts' when people try to tell you what to do with YOUR vagina. "Private parts' lets keep them that way.
Abortion is WRONG, no matter your view or religion. Only a heartless person could say killing a BABY is ok. You'd have to be a pretty sick person to let a stranger get inside you and take out a baby with a hearbeat.
@edwardobcession Yes because that "baby" (In the womb its more or less an unaware collection of cells) is probably better off being born to a 16 year old abusive mother with no father on the streets with FAS were it will live a painful and meaningless life and kills itself at 25. That sounds better.
@edwardobcession *sigh* if you wanted to scream about your opinion on abortion, why don't you just go to a blog or something, instead of here? Yes, i get the song is about abortion, but please don't bring this shit here, it just creates arguments and is typical of an idiot youtuber who starts arguments on music pages.
@waterywoman The reason he says she's the brick, and I'm assuming you're asking as opposed to the fetus or himself, is that the experience depressed her so much that it's ruined their relationship and he feels held back by that weight. It sounds selfish, and maybe it is, but you can't always help the way you feel and he felt like she was that brick holding him down.
hate to tell all of you?! this song is not about abortion...Although I can see how you could get it mixed up. Its about Bens Girlfriend, She was diagnosed with cancer and yes i know in the beginning of the video he says the car seat is freezing. Which a lot of people think a childs car seat. But its actually just " The cars driver seat". I could go on and on but no matter what I tell you. people are still going to think this song is about abortion so....
@bluepill1 yeah, um, you are dead wrong, read it from Ben himself "But the song is about when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend had to get an abortion, and it was a very sad thing. And, I didn't really want to write this song from any kind of political standpoint, or make a statement." Google it if you don't believe it
Why debate this. Either you think a scrambled sperm&egg omelette is a person, or you think a newborn baby is a person, or you (like me) think the truth lies somewhere in between. Either way, being of faith and wanting to use logic to "win" this argument is stupid. Arguing with logic against said faith is stupid, and generally chances are if you "score a point" in this forum, you're winning the special olympics (I.E: Still retarded).
@0neAnd0nlyJ0nasGirl We are advanced enough to realise when we have made mistakes, would you rather a women who is a drug addict, who struggles to find a house. But gets knocked up by a guy. Would you rather her not be allowed to have an abortion. INSTEAD she is MADE to have a baby and abuses the baby..I know some religions dont agree with it, but the argument that we are advanced enough to know it is wrong, is simply invalid. Because we are advanced enough to see the benefits in SOME cases.
@mattyisme94 for gods sakee!!!! i didnt say women have to have their babies, did i? i didnt say abortions should be illegal! i just said i disagree with the concept and moraity of it. stop fucking twisting my words.
I don't blame Ben and his girlfriend at the time for doing what they did. Abortions are terrible, yes. But sometimes you have to do what's best for your life, for the life of your family. We all have to make hard decisions in life. Some people have abortions not feeling emotion about what they did. Obviously Ben did, and I honor that. It takes courage make that decision. I myself may have to go through that painful moment in life. When you're young, things are different...
Last friday our awsome choir sub let us have the class as a study hall and he was playing our grand piano and he started to play and sing this song. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

This song came out when i was a junior in HS. I believe no matter what a woman decides to do its her choice.. seems the girl is always blamed for the lack of protection. Guys are just as responsible.. But when you have irresponsibility on both parts then what makes you think having a child is a great idea.. Ever seen 16 and pregnant. Aside from the abortion part does anyone not realize we r over populated and draining resources. Hell in 100 yrs everything with be artificial and grown in a lab..
guys, you have to stop with the abortion debate. the song is about a decision he made when he was a TEENAGER. it doesn't matter what your opinion is about whether his decision, which is already done and in the past, is what you would do. it's in the past, and it made a super good song. so be thankful that the song exists and get over yourselves.
As a christian i believe abortion is wrong regardless if a seed is technically living or not. to me its still killing. that seed could become someone great and important but youll never know if you just kill it. i see both sides of the issue. i understand why people think its important to get an abortion if theyre pregnate, but i still dont think its a choice that we as people should make. thats my opinion
@cthom7 That is why your best bet, especially when you find a video you LIKE... whatever you do, DON'T scroll down below the screen!....
the youtube comment section was developed by the devil. that, amongst other things... like prime time television, MTV, Disney Channel... it's all gone to hades.
HOW ABOUT, I like the song, the audio mix, the video concept, the video effects with water on the floor, and it's an interesting look. Frank, in Lincoln Nebraska
choice to be gay. if u think it is than you obviously aren't gay. I'm a straight female but that's just my thoughts on the topic. im just sick of narrow minded bigots who think theyre the shit
@Blahmaster1337 stfu i didn't. i may have come across as such that, but i was just sharing my opinion. i wasn't saying that people shouldn't be able to have abortions or that it should be illegal because that would be a disaster, i just think its morally wrong and I don't think it makes sense that it's the woman's choice. but i'm done. nothing i say is ever understood the way I want it to be understood.
This song is a memoir. It's about Ben Folds and his girlfriend who got pregnant and high school and had an abortion. He's talking about his personal experience and not a biased political stance. Everyone enjoy the song, and don't be so focused on politics :)

@edwardobcession Yes because that "baby" (In the womb its more or less an unaware collection of cells) is probably better off being born to a 16 year old abusive mother with no father on the streets with FAS were it will live a painful and meaningless life and kills itself at 25. That sounds better.

@Route0247 That's not how all the children of teen moms end up. I am pro-choice though.

@bookcreator But the majority of abortions are people who DONT WANT that child. Unwanted children generally have a lower quality of life.
Route0247 3 weeks ago
@Route0247 Good point, though I'd imagine some bonding over the pregnancy might change that (hence why adoption ISN'T always the best option).

@edwardobcession *sigh* if you wanted to scream about your opinion on abortion, why don't you just go to a blog or something, instead of here? Yes, i get the song is about abortion, but please don't bring this shit here, it just creates arguments and is typical of an idiot youtuber who starts arguments on music pages.

Am I wrong, or is the line "Can't you see? It's not me you're dying for" him saying to the baby that he wanted to keep it, but she doesn't?

ryan06105 1 month ago
@waterywoman The reason he says she's the brick, and I'm assuming you're asking as opposed to the fetus or himself, is that the experience depressed her so much that it's ruined their relationship and he feels held back by that weight. It sounds selfish, and maybe it is, but you can't always help the way you feel and he felt like she was that brick holding him down.

hate to tell all of you?! this song is not about abortion...Although I can see how you could get it mixed up. Its about Bens Girlfriend, She was diagnosed with cancer and yes i know in the beginning of the video he says the car seat is freezing. Which a lot of people think a childs car seat. But its actually just " The cars driver seat". I could go on and on but no matter what I tell you. people are still going to think this song is about abortion so....

@bluepill1 yeah, um, you are dead wrong, read it from Ben himself "But the song is about when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend had to get an abortion, and it was a very sad thing. And, I didn't really want to write this song from any kind of political standpoint, or make a statement." Google it if you don't believe it

Great song.
Why debate this. Either you think a scrambled sperm&egg omelette is a person, or you think a newborn baby is a person, or you (like me) think the truth lies somewhere in between. Either way, being of faith and wanting to use logic to "win" this argument is stupid. Arguing with logic against said faith is stupid, and generally chances are if you "score a point" in this forum, you're winning the special olympics (I.E: Still retarded).
Just enjoy the song. Its spectacular.

@0neAnd0nlyJ0nasGirl We are advanced enough to realise when we have made mistakes, would you rather a women who is a drug addict, who struggles to find a house. But gets knocked up by a guy. Would you rather her not be allowed to have an abortion. INSTEAD she is MADE to have a baby and abuses the baby..I know some religions dont agree with it, but the argument that we are advanced enough to know it is wrong, is simply invalid. Because we are advanced enough to see the benefits in SOME cases.

I don't blame Ben and his girlfriend at the time for doing what they did. Abortions are terrible, yes. But sometimes you have to do what's best for your life, for the life of your family. We all have to make hard decisions in life. Some people have abortions not feeling emotion about what they did. Obviously Ben did, and I honor that. It takes courage make that decision. I myself may have to go through that painful moment in life. When you're young, things are different...

This song came out when i was a junior in HS. I believe no matter what a woman decides to do its her choice.. seems the girl is always blamed for the lack of protection. Guys are just as responsible.. But when you have irresponsibility on both parts then what makes you think having a child is a great idea.. Ever seen 16 and pregnant. Aside from the abortion part does anyone not realize we r over populated and draining resources. Hell in 100 yrs everything with be artificial and grown in a lab..

guys, you have to stop with the abortion debate. the song is about a decision he made when he was a TEENAGER. it doesn't matter what your opinion is about whether his decision, which is already done and in the past, is what you would do. it's in the past, and it made a super good song. so be thankful that the song exists and get over yourselves.

As a christian i believe abortion is wrong regardless if a seed is technically living or not. to me its still killing. that seed could become someone great and important but youll never know if you just kill it. i see both sides of the issue. i understand why people think its important to get an abortion if theyre pregnate, but i still dont think its a choice that we as people should make. thats my opinion
