"Brick" by Ben Folds

New guitar, Carvin Acoustic/Electric C750T.

I haven't posted any new videos for waaay too long, and will try to get back into things ASAP! I've got more original material and some new equipment that should increase the recording quality of my video/audio, so check back often. =D

Brick has always been a favorite song of mine, I was going to play this on the piano but I couldn't quite get it right while singing.. guess I need more practice!!

Lyrics:

6 am day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping
I am numb

Up the stairs to the apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son, it's time to tell the truth

She broke down, and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying

Driving home to her apartment
For a moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
I'm alone
Now I know it

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

This is pretty good! I love your voice and you did a great job making the guitar fit the song. Your timing is a little weird at times, but it's not a big deal.
