Brick (song)
"Brick" is a song by American alternative rock group Ben Folds Five. It was released in November 1997 as a single from their album ''Whatever and Ever Amen'' and later on ''Ben Folds Live''.〔(Amazon.com listing of album tracks )〕 The verses were written by Ben Folds about his high school girlfriend undergoing an abortion, and the chorus was written by the band's drummer, Darren Jessee. "Brick" was one of Ben Folds Five's biggest hits, gaining much mainstream radio play in the USA, the UK, and Australia in 1998.
== Backstory ==
On the album ''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."〔(SongFacts: 'Brick' by Ben Folds Five ), retrieved 2008-07-04.〕
On Folds' recent iTunes Originals compilation, he confesses that he had attempted to write a song about the abortion for quite some time, but he had trouble getting the song finished because it was too literal, but thanks to Darren Jessee's chorus, the song was given just enough mystique to be the hit that it was. (Folds even jokes that "I've never understood a hit chorus. I wish I did.")
Folds wrote the song on guitar rather than piano, and performed it as such on tour with The Bens in 2003. 〔(The Bens with Ben Folds on acoustic guitar - Brick (live 2003) ), retrieved 2012-08-13.〕
