  • To much anger here. Fo reals. Come by our channel and check out a video that will cheer you up with laughter. It's inspired by this classic piece of fearless beauty and it's called "Brick"

  • Boyfriend Vouge girl teaser brought me here. Love the song<3

  • whaaa whaaa it's hard to be a girl... whaaaa.... pfff get real ladies. You have it made. stfu

  • @MunkeySpaz So you're implying that it would be easy to kill a human being that you created because you couldn't support it and have no other choice? GET THE FUCK OUT. Would you KNOW unless you've BEEN THERE? FUCKING NO.

    GET.THE.FUCK.OUT.

  • I kind of thought that was what it's about, after I listened more closely to the lyrics.

  • decade had passed but it still have my thumbs up..

  • i bought the cd when it was released? in 98?, never knew what it was about and still enjoyed it BUT now i'd rather not know what its about, its upseting soo many ppl have put themselves in that situation and whats sader is when i hear about ppl that its a reg thing...keep your shit in your fucking pants...or n the ass is better then killing what could be life, idk, but thats alot to think about much less to deal with so keep your heads up everyone thats been there

  • this is about abortion..

  • I love this song its kinda deep.

    Thanks for posting.

    Very ear-friendly and feels like im in a cradle listening to it.

  • what is the song at the end of this

  • @beebechasej The song at the end is by The Cure... I think it's called Lullaby?

  • It is Charlotte, North Carolina. Got Pregnant-- In college.. I couldn't have an abortion. Was just a me decision.. GOD- what a decision.. Had the baby-put her up for adoption. Went to medical school- and very soon had a nervous breakdown. What ever you choose- if you are ready for a baby- no decision is right... I think.. many women breakdown.

  • @iclandgirl are NOT ready........ sorry :*(

  • @iclandgirl Been in the same situation and for some reson this song just soothes my soul....

    

  • Good job on the vid!

  • Great fuckin song... A timeless classic

  • GOD SAVE THE qUEEN

  • This song was not one of their more interesting songs, musically speaking. Its too bad this one got all the airplay in the 90s.

  • Great work!

  • The song at the end is Lullaby by The Cure. I'd just been listening when I read your comment.

  • what's the song at the end of this song? I've heard it before, but I don't know from where.

  • i heard the singer on the radio saying this is about him driving his girfriend to the abortion clinic to get an abortion

  • haha good one! i'll pay that.

  • i thought this was about a guy who was a contractor and begged his girlfriend for money to buy bricks so he could put in a new patio.

  • i love this song i love ben folds and i am so glad you like his songs too this song touches me :)

  • fags lmao

  • again, youre a pretentious fuck. i never said it was my opinion, i thought i HEARD from a CREDIBLE source that he was sued for RIPPING the song off. i am a fan of him, im really not in the slightest bit mad, i was simply making a comment, hence the "comment on this video" box. what does piss me off is pompous assholes like yourselves who attempt to express that they know everything there is to know about music while simply just avoiding the topic all together.

  • do you even know whAt they do to babies in abortions? look it up and then you might not feel the same way mileysucksballs

  • You should respect his opinion. There are plenty of reasons for being pro-choice. And this song isn't about being pro-choice or pro-life. It's about an experience in his life which touched him and has always stayed with him. For good or for worse. So why don't you keep politics out of the music.

  • pro-choice all the way!!!

  • Do you guys think abortion is right or wrong? I'm kind of on the fence about this one. On the one hand I don't like babies, but on the other I don't like women.

  • it sounds exactly the same though, i thought i heard he ripped it off. no need to be a pompous dick about it. but thanks anyway encyclopedia brown.

  • Huh? It's not even the same chords.

  • isnt this like a verbatim rip off of elton john's tiny dancer??

  • cody1672. it sounds like you're not familiar with the definition of 'verbatim.' it means an exact repetition of something. brick doesn't have any of the same lyrics as tiny dancer, and the music doesn't reflect one single note from tiny dancer.

  • Just because a song sounds like something else doesn't mean it's a rip off. There is only 12 tones in music of the western world so there's only so much people can do. So really, chill out. Odds are there's at least 30 songs out in the world that sound like both these songs.

  • lol this song is about abortion

  • The song playing at the end is the beginning of "Lullaby", by The Cure.

  • Cool song :)

    What's the music piece at the end of it?

  • what was the song playing at the very end of this video??

  • I suggest sticking to either plot or slideshow next time. I like it, but it feels like 2 diff things.

    If not.. maybe a more balanced color scheme b/t the movie clips and photos.

    Btw- I like the plot side more.

  • this sucks

  • so does your mom ;]

  • Irrelevant

  • but still true.

  • great job and thanks for posting the song. its one of the top songs of that time. very well writen and i love the piano and the strings in this song (i play the viola)

    i wish that the band didnt break up they were amazing

  • good shit

  • shes pretty!

  • lol 12 hours wasted

    would have been better if it was just the song

    lol

  • this was the first time i listenned to the song knowing what it was really about. wow, i was almost driven to tears thinking about the emotion and amount of thinking a couple or a girl goes through when she has to make such a decision. i'm pro-choice but if i ever had to make a choice, it would definitely be one of the hardest i'll ever make.

  • i'm pro choice but i think it works both ways if the father wants the baby it needs to not be aborted but if its both a 100% desicion then thats when you can abort.

  • No offense you two, but the baby has no choice. Just a heartbeat that's stopped, a body torn apart. Abortion is not a gift to women or men. A person dies, and two others are hurt. Many people are not pro-choice anymore when they either see how much abortion hurts women or realize that a child in the womb is a person, an irreplaceable person. :) God bless you both. :)

  • dont pull that christian shit on me... your not alive unless you can remember, talk and act... all of which a baby cant do until around the age of 2. and another thing get me a website or something because as far as i can tell you pulled it right out of your ass

  • 2?!?!?!?! wat the hell so ud be fine dumping a baby thats under 2 years old?

    and dude 'christian shit' is still a valid opinion and they are right to u dont need a website

    though saying that i am glad that my state is the only state in the country that allows abortions...just in case...

  • ummm yeah because you dont even develop memories until then so yeah... and abortion is right, its not our right to telll people what they can and can not do... it is THEIR CHOICE NOT OURS!!!

  • But when it comes to abortion ur denying his right to have memories, have a life, and have all the experiences you have had to have who are you, who am i, who is anybody to deny that to anyone. All in all abortion is a last resort and only that, remember abortion is denying someone to have fun and a life, a right you have been given, would you want that right denied? then why is it fair for the baby? think about that

  • there is no afterlife so it doesnt matter.

  • Come back when you're done with grade school, tool.

  • i'm in college you stupid cunt.

  • Bullshit. Unless it's a community college or some crappy public state school, which I could absolutely see, considering the level of intelligence you're displaying. Here's a tip for you: when trying to appear to possess some degree of intelligence, don't present your personal opinions and beliefs as fact. Prove what you're saying and I'll accept it, until then, don't present it as undeniable truth. Thank you, come again.

  • i dont have to prove shit to you... and by the way proposal 2 passed in my state which is the right to have stem cell research... so my people are smarter then your people... because it is religion that is the folly of man we never get anything accomplished when there is religion around, which telling from your perfect flawless comments you are a evangelical... SO GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!!!

  • I'm... shocked. So, the fact that I'm not attempting to butcher the English language every time I post makes me AN evangelical? To be quite honest, I'm fairly sure that the opinion that life begins at conception, although endorsed by the church, is not limited to Christians. On a related note, I live in Illinois, and we haven't gone red since '88. Nice try.

    And no, your crappy state school doesn't count as college. Come back when you've gone to a real school.

  • oh i didnt know you lived in illinois... that explains your idiocy

  • Apparently. Fortunately for me, I don't really need to explain anything, you've made it quite clear. Have fun at the University of Bumfuck Nowhere.

  • ok pickle fucker.

  • Just because a state is not RED doesn't mean shit. There can be Evangelists and religious factions in any state. And prick, states schools are just as good as other schools. In fact some state schools have high quality education than other school, lets say... Harvard. So back off Mr. High and mighty. You're just as closed minded as Predator005.

  • You would say that, electro676. Of course your opinion is that state schools can have a decent quality of education, YOU'RE IN ONE. Who's Mr. High and Mighty now? Why don't you open YOUR mind to the fact that maybe your school sucks, huh?

  • Well Mr. Venusflytrap614. Statistics about my school which have been publicly put out into the media world have proven that state schools in general give a higher education to more students and therefor in general state schools are in fact better. I'm open to the idea that with facts and explanation as to why my school "sucks" and maybe I'll change my opinion.

  • Well, Prof. electro676, some facts as to the suckage of your school may come in the form of budget cuts and tuition increases.

    This is a school that limits the playing of a certain huge game of tag to outdoor places.

    A school that makes students wait through three days of nothing before they may take their last final exam.

    Your school song is called "the stein song" and is about drinking... Excessively.

    A school that not even a band such as My Chemical Romance would deem worthy to play at.

  • That's the best you have? Really? I believe you have forgotten this country is in a huge recession. No one really has money. Budget cuts are to make up for it, and money has to come from somewhere. AND!! These thing are not the whole campuses fault. But just a few people in the higher ups. This does not take from the quality of education. And MCR? Really? The Dropkick Murphys felt it a fine venue to play at, and honestly they're leaps and bounds ahead of MCR.

  • Let's see, a bunch of Irishmen decided that a school that sings about excessive drinking is a good venue for a concert? Surprise.

    And what is a college campus except for a reflection of the higher ups? Don't they make all the executive decisions regarding a school and its many facets?

    That's what I thought.

  • Also there is a reason as to why I don't know the song. The one time i looked at the lyrics I didn't agree with the principals and didn't waste my time. And its just a song. What does it matter to the education?

  • @electro676 There is opinon on abortion or values in the song, it just talks about how the abortion saddened them and made their relationship never the same.

  • @Rainbowjumper67 - But it isn't an opinion on if it's wrong or right. In an interview with Folds he said the purpose wasn't to make a point, it's just about the experience.

  • Okay first of all just because one state is different than the other or supports one proposal over another DOESN'T mean one group is "dumber" than the other. Everyone has a right to express their view, this is in our nations Constitution. You need to respect other peoples views because they are in fact DIFFERENT than you, you close minded prick. Okay? I thought we were done dealing with stereo typing assholes with the civil rights movement.

  • predator you can say whaterver you like, just try to be less of an ass when you express your opinion k? ANYWAYS i stand by what i said have a nice life predator *_*

  • Okay, I'm not for using abortion as a birth control method, in fact I'm very against it. BUT! What if someone was raped? Is it just to possibly ruin their bright future? Is it just to let a baby grow up in a horrible environment just because the parents made a big mistake? Is removing the potential of life any worse then putting a child into a potentially abusive (physically and mentally) household? And just to say, I'm not saying ALL teen pregnancies turn into abuse. It's just an example.

  • or you know, "think about" the friggen woman? are you stunned. It's her right to do whatever she wants with her body . I love how its a bunch of pathetic guys talking on here.. when will you ever be pregnant? oh yeah, thats right. never. You just knowck her up and leave her with the responsibility right? You guys are pathetic.

    Leave all the bulshit for your own conversations not comments on a very touching song. He's not singing it for you, piss off.

  • @BabesandBeer I guess if she does that, she won't be pregnant and have to be put in the situation the character of the song was put in! Why would you make half of your screen name something that you hate? If women are so stupid, as you put it, why make it part of your identity?

  • @BabesandBeer wow random

  • @BabesandBeer Dude what the fuck is your problem? I think you need social counselling or some shit.

  • @BabesandBeer How's she gonna suck your dick if her mouth is shut? You pathetic little terminal retard.

    ...your dick's so small, if her mouth isn't completely shut, you won't feel it? Is that it???

    Why do men like you go after women with big tits and tights pussies?

    Coz you got a big mouth and a teeny tiny little dick.

    Have a nice day:)

  • @BabesandBeer you really need to chill man haha

  • funny i said almost the same exact thing to (your denying his right to live, have fun, his memories,to know what is love all great gifts youve been given. would you like it if you were stuck in a cage not being able to do anything until you were freed while two people outside decide whether or not we should kill you or not WHILE you have absolutely no say in it at all? well thats how the baby must feel =l either way very honorable respectfull reply you sent

    have a great life let god be with you

  • Ben Folds kicks much ass

  • i'm now nostalgic listening to this song

  • this is a amazing song so those who dont like it get lost

  • Um..Would just like to say as a woman now this helped me through some very tough times.. So fuck off if you can't grasp the gravity of this song

  • @lovemyhaven lol gotta lotta anger?

  • Beautiful video

  • Hey don't say it's not about abortion, your a prejudging ass, on the live cd he explains that is about his girlfriend having to get an abortion before this song on the cd, the explanation begins at the end of the song before this. So, if you're going to listen to Ben Folds and try to piss off the fans of him don't do it, because i'll come to your house personally and rip your nuts off.

  • pro or con.. remember, they know what causes pregnancy now.

  • great video...I'm in the mood for the cure now for some reason...

  • i love this song. it kind of makes me sad, but it's a great song!

  • so sad...

  • he wrote it about how he got his highschool girlfriend pregnant and she had an abortion, that explains the line it's not me your dieing for, so thats how it relates

  • Great call Juanpowerball, how does this song relate to abortion??

  • read more info, mr JuanPowerball must just not understand what it means

    it will make more sense if u read it

  • so how does it relate to abortion smart arse?

  • did u even read it u idiot?

    its about how he needed to get an abortion for his girlfriend in highschool, and this song is explaining how he felt at the time

    not about abortions in general

    fuckin american

  • I am talking about how this video (showing picturesque shots of the world) relates to the song about abortion cockhead, which it doesn't. so don't jump down my throat. And I'm not american you fuckin australian convict.

  • The lead singer even said the song was about abortion.

  • the original statement that u couldnt understand was "this song is about abortion ay? im pretty sure" to which u said "Great call Juanpowerball, how does this song relate to abortion??"

    u said it urself u were talking about the song

    and i dont really care where ur from, ur still a fucktard

  • this song is about abortion ay? im pretty sure

  • Great job 5 stars keep it up!!

  • I love the video, who ever is going out with you is lucky have someone as creative as you, and cute

  • pshh. puh-lease. if you think this song is over rated and you can't grasp the emotional context and pain from the words and just the feel of the piano then you must be an idiot. or stupid, this song is simply beautiful... it's exceptionally well done, and i love it. it tells a really sad story of having to make a choice, despite the pain it caused.. and the writer did an amazing job writing it, i can feel the saddness and all the emotions thru the words and piano. i love this song to death.

  • SPOT ON!!!!!

  • ketg4u.. I dont think your a full shilling, are you?

  • What a murder of this great song with terrible pictures.

  • Wow, this video is sooooooo great!! You did an amazing job.:)

  • Girl, that was the best fucking video ever. sooooo beautiful, luv that you added a song from our fav band at the end, sweet dreamzszsz!!!lol -tash.

  • no...

  • the girl is pretty

  • Its Ariana Richards, from jurassic park

  • oops nevermind, thats in the actual video. sorry

  • is this the male prespective or view? cus u got it right!! its like you wrote this for me and my girlfriend,when we had to decide,,,thank you xo xo{ the wish4 }

  • did you keep the baby?

  • thx.but it still hurts,even for a guy...mabey more so cuz like ben says,you feel like a liar,looser and you cant tell anybody,you cant become the woman going through this,your alone.shes alone(no period)pun intended

  • he said he didn't want to make a statement, but he tells everyone how alone he felt, he prolly still feels like that. Abortion is babsically not a pleasant thing to go through. I feel endlessly bad for anyone who has to go through that.

  • Love this song. The piano in the bridge is wondeful.

  • Like the Cure song at the end and obviously the video

  • When he says "mom and dad went down to Charlotte" he means Charlotte, North Carolina. Ben is from Winston-Salem, NC. The best musician to come out of this little city :)

  • I found out this song is about when he was a teenager and he got his girlfriend pregnant and she had an abortion...thats what he is writing about in the song and how he feels alone even though he had her.

  • haha good job for reading the description!

  • Sad song but reminds me of better times & sadder ones at the same time... ;p

  • after reading what this songs about-it really is sad-a reeeaaally good song though!

  • i love the 70s era images

  • nice song. 1st time I heard it, I had it stuck in my head.

  • *Tears*

  • Who is the beautiful girl throughout?...Love this song...Love your video..."Every Abandoned Soul"...nice...nice indeed.

  • awesome. Wow !

  • that was really cool

  • ugh clipart?

  • i love this songg so muchhhh :)

  • thnx! good job btw on the vid

  • it's lullaby by the cure

  • had to watch this again.. very well done Mrs. Victoria

  • whats the song at the end?

  • I think critizism of these movies is great, because it helps the filmmaker because better at what they do. But unless the video is truely offensive I think its incredibly immature and pathetic to go around bashing peoples work because its not up to par with your standards, they may just be beginners, they are putting their work out and are proud of it, the disrespect is unnessisary. BTW Im a terrible speller but it doesnt make my ideas any less valid.

  • "BTW Im a terrible speller but it doesnt make my ideas any less valid." best quote ever.

  • Weird...I didn't see any spelling mistakes..give yourself more credit.

  • i know i truly suck ass

  • come on man, give her a break.

    we cant all be perfect like you

  • you did a good job. im sure you worked really hard on this. i think it is kind of cool how you did a more literal translation to the lyrics than the official video. i kind of feel like it takes away from the true emotion of the song though, and i dont really think that this kind of video really works with a song like this. well done though.

  • Nice work!

  • Beautiful song- I remember when it came out,  and during that time, I actually thought it was older.

  • this song reminds me of a friendship i through away....

  • hey, learn how not to be a asshole, bitch

  • that song at the end was The Cure, wasn't it? Not totally sure.

  • yeah, it was =]

  • which song was it? i love The Cure but it doesn't sound too familiar too me...

  • they allways remind me the beatles...

  • wow...i feel kinda bad about saying this but U penn off the beat does this song better than him...weird...its so amazing though the u penn version absolutly gorgeous

  • hey ur kinda prety

  • What was the song at the end?

  • lullaby by The Cure

  • hahah nice that most of the pictures match with what he sings!

  • I love that no one realizes the song is about abortion. You guys think it's cute. :|

  • This is fucking retarded
