One of my songs i was gonna do. They are from my state NC. In 97 i was so depressed and low in life. This song reminds me of that time in my life. But in 98 i met the love of my life...im good. I still struggle with depression but its all good.
Ben Folds Five were an amazing band, with the joke being that there were only three of them! Other great BFF tracks to check out would be 'Battle Of Who Could Care Less' 'Air' 'Philosophy' and 'Army' :-) Ben Folds solo tracks worth checking out are 'Rockin The Suburbs' 'From Above' 'Jesusland' and 'Brainwascht'
If you think your only options are sink or swim, you'll never learn how to float. This song is about him taking her to have an abortion but she just dragged him into her life. So he's drowning slowly if he keeps her around.
Ben and his gf went to get an abortion, and her parents realised something was wrong with their daughter.. The young couple needed to own up to what had happened.
Its a true story about Ben and hos high school girlfriend. He is not trying to stat whether abortion is right or not. Its was just him telling his story about it and how it effected him. Just like most that choose this path its a very difficult decision and you have to live with it the resr of their lives. So whatever your moral opinion is that is your morals and not others so keep it to yourself and leave these poor women alone its already a hard enough decision
Exactly. If you aren’t going to be paying and raising that kid then it’s none of you’re business. Forcing someone to conform to your religious or morality is wrong in every way. Same thing with euthanasia/assisted suicide. We put our pets out of their pain but force humans to live with fatal debilitating diseases and injuries. Just because you *can* “save or prolong a life doesn’t always mean that you should. I read about a guy who’s gf threw acid on him while he slept. Was in a coma for 9 months because of the severity of the injuries and had amputations, grafts, couldn’t speak, and was paralyzed. In excruciating pain because it caused holes in his bones. Learned to communicate by pointing his tongue to a sheet w/letters. Eventually regained his ability to speak which is the only bright spot because of his parents and their close relationship. Then he got ill and they had to put a tube permanently into his throat so he could breathe. After that he said he couldn’t keep doing that and has to be snuck out of the country to his home country (Netherlands) and applied and was accepted and died with his family members by his side. To force someone like that to keep going is unconscionable.
This is about the lead singer’s gf having an abortion!’ That’s why it’s depressing man... sad song... sorry i told u! Lol... it was big when it came out .... they broke up soon afterward, she didnt recover mentally from it & he blamed himself... good job in realizing it was heavy duty.... 🤦🏻♀️💁🏻♀️
It’s a true story of him taking his high school girlfriend to have an abortion. When you’ve gone through it you know immediately what’s it about. 37 years later and I’m just know understanding I should forgive myself. I know God did a long time. Now I see people bragging and celebrating their abortion and I know our world is doomed
This song was chosen to mess with you, I suspect. Regardless, it's a valid expression of the human experience, even if you/we disagree with the morality of the content.
I somewhat disagree only because I believe it shows the true emotional effects of going through with the killing of a baby, you can brainwash people to agree with the idea but your natural primal instincts are still inside
Ben goes hard. He's a legend. This is his most mainstream song. Check out a few others. Maybe song for the dumped.

Modern Renaissance Man yeah, saw them live & he explained ... sad af! Always kinda upsets me honestly, the song. Felt terrible for them
Pretty sure they married and are living happily in Adelaide, Australia
Robina Kym this happened to him when he was a teenager, not an adult, etc.
That’s what got from
It. So sad.
I have a suspicion of what it could be. If I'm correct the song is powerful.
