note It's about how his high school girlfriend had to get an abortion. 'Brick,' especially if you know the very real backstory behind it.Worse, the lyrics are taken verbatim from a newspaper clipping about a man who wanted to divorce his wife because her brain tumor made her 'become a different person.' 'Cigarette,' which packs a heck of a lot of tragedy into a Single Stanza Song.'Kylie From Connecticut.' That chorus is heartbreaking.'Don't Change Your Plans' is another one.Somehow the version on the University Acapella compilation (performed by University Of Chicago's Voices In Your Head) feels sadder than the original- for one thing, their arrangement starts with just the baritones holding a note that sounds like an acapella Drone of Dread, while the sopranos sing the main piano riff, to an eerie effect.Technically Darren Jessee's song, but 'Magic' by Ben Folds Five is particularly touching if you've ever lost someone to a painful disease.'The Ascent of Stan', a song about someone who hated the establishment before succumbing to it and becoming the very thing they despised.'Gone' seems to be a song about someone finally coming to terms with a broken relationship, writing one last note to their former lover.'Carrying Cathy,' especially if you know someone who's suicidal or eventually committed suicide, or are even suicidal yourself (and if you are, please know that You Are Not Alone).'Still Fighting It.' Depending on one's interpretation, it's either a song about how teenage years are hard or an ode to parental failure (or both).
