"Brick" by Ben Folds Five
I guess this is a Christmas song. It's heavily rumored [and once confirmed by Ben Folds] that the song is about Ben Folds' college girlfriend having to get an abortion. I guess the only Christmas allusion is the part where Ben Folds talks about having to sell his Christmas presents at a pawn shop to fund the said-abortion. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Aww, what a sad song :/ (it somehow seems uplifting at the same time, though). I like this song! Especially the piano and the cello.
it's not a cello, it's a bass
Isn't the guy playing a cello in the video?
nope, it's a bass. notice he's standing
It's a bass. They only have a pianist, a drummer, and a bassist. Sometimes the bassist plays a baritone guitar that's more on the bassy-side on their "guitar" driven songs.
