I was listening to my Last.fm playlist while working on taxes and the song Brick by Ben Folds Five came on. I had forgotten just how much I used to dig this track.

 

“And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I’m feeling more alone
than I ever have before

Shes a brick and I’m drowning
slowly
Off the coast and I’m headed
nowhere”

The lyrics to this song are amazing… you can feel the despair of unrequited love. You can feel the singer “drowning.”
