Brick by Ben Folds Five

I was perusing my music collection here tonight, and I came across Ben Folds Five's album Forever and Ever Amen, which had the fantastically written, fantastically performed "Brick" on it. I realized that this song, has to be in my top five songs on of all time. How could it not? I still get goosebumps when I think about the video. I mean, the song writing ability of this cat is just too good for me to even describe. Every time I hear(d) this song, I get chills it's that good.

It's by far the best song out of the 90's. I mean, Wonderwall and the entire album of (What's the Story) Morning Glory was great, but nothing really compares to Brick. I remember staying up to the wee hours of the morning when I was just a little kid (I never slept, it's not a new thing) and watching VH1's Insomniac Music Theatre and they would play the song Brick probably every hour. The video is plain, it tells a story, but it's plain.

This is just my opinion of course.

But I'm right.
