Song: Brick
Artist: Ben Folds Five

On Ben Folds Live, 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. So, anyone who's gone through that before, then you'll know what the song's about."

  • 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.

  • 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.
