Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Brick (page 1/1) ------ performed by Ben Folds Five Aftermath | Reviewer: daddy t | 7/16/2008 I haven’t heard the song “BRICK” yet but I read the lyrics. At first I didn’t understand completely what it was about, until I read some comments of Ben Folds’ Fans. There is no antidote or anecdote that I know of to eradicate the unfathomable sadness of the situation depicted in “BRICK”. The pain never goes away. The survivors must just live on - as “the living dead” because of their loss - and stay together (which is best I think) or go their separate ways - which lessens the pain not at all. Suicide probably doesn’t help either, although I haven’t the nerve to try THAT yet. Reading the book TILLY by Frank E. Peretti helps a little if you can make it through the pages and see the words through your tear-flooded eyes. about xmas | Reviewer: blake | 5/6/2008 alex, to answer your question about the signifigance it was the day after x-mas in the song, it's relavant to the line in the second verse where he is selling some gifts that he got. Those gifts were xmas presents and he is selling them to help pay for the abortion since he cannot ask his (or her) parents for help. Decision | Reviewer: Nicholas Benbenji | 1/26/2008 The hardest decision to kill the result of love between 2 person... what ever the outcome is... there will always be regret and what-if... hope that all ppl who have been through it can let go and be healthy again... the reason | Reviewer: eric | 1/21/2008 Hey the reason he wrote the song is because it happened to him and his girfrield when he was in hight school. They had a abortion. he tells the story in a interview. This song is so meaningful to me..... | Reviewer: Hope | 10/24/2007 I lost my first precious baby on 2/15/98 when I was 16 because I allowed my asshole of a boyfriend and his scumbag of a mother to force me into having an abortion...I was 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant...I know she was a girl...I wanted to name her Esperanza (hope)....I have heard this song only one or two times and have never seen the words in print...I don't ever plan to again...it hurts.... still.... Brick review | Reviewer: Alex Nichols | 10/11/2007 I think this song is about two young people, possibly teenagers, who got pregnant and how they deal with it. The refraining lines "She's alone/and i'm alone" suggest that after the abortion they realize how empty it makes them, and now they don't have as strong a connection any more. I am still trying to figure out why the time frame is the day after x-mas, but i'm sure there is something to it. hope it helped Add Your New Review About The Song
