There is a song called Brick by Ben Folds Five. Many people assume it is a Christmas song because it mentions the holiday. It is actually about abortion.
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."
Who the fuck could listen to that song and NOT realize it's about a young couple getting an abortion?
