Brick by Brick, released in June 1990, is the 10th album by the American singer Iggy Pop. After attracting mixed reviews for much of his 1980s output, Pop hired longtime Stooges fan Don Was as producer, who would later produce Avenue B, and opted for a hard-rock sound. Many songs on the album incorporate a lyrical theme of the United States facing dangers of cultural decay and implosion.
Slash and Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses fame were featured on the album as songwriters and performers. The cover was drawn by American cartoonist Charles Burns. The album's personnel includes studio musicians Waddy Wachtel and Kenny Aronoff. The album is the first studio album that features Pop contributing guitar. He plays a majority of the guitar parts along with Wachtel and Slash.
The album gave Pop some of his strongest reviews since his David Bowie collaborations, and "Candy", with the B-52's vocalist Kate Pierson, became his first MTV hit. The video for the song found fairly heavy rotation on that station. Videos were also made for "Home", "Butt Town" and "Livin' On the Edge of the Night".
"Brick by Brick" is a song by Arctic Monkeys from the band's fourth album Suck It and See. The song was the first track to be revealed from the album, on 4 March 2011, and was designed as a teaser for the album rather than a lead single. The lead single was instead "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" which was released digitally on 12 April. A limited-edition white-label seven-inch vinyl version of "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair" released on 16 April featured "Brick by Brick" as its B-side.
Alex Turner explained the story of the song to NME: "We were in Miami on tour once and we just got off a long flight to there and we had an idea for a song called 'Brick By Brick' and so we wrote it that night just sorta in a bar. But it was quite loose, we thought about it as the concept of a song and all these things that you want to do- brick by brick- and we just made a list of them that was probably three times as long as what it ended up over that night and the next few weeks."
I'm hoping it'll all get better But it keeps on getting worse Time and time again People running as the earth shakes Just another earthquake coming in To break my faith in this Wind blowing off the rooftops Water in the basements Looking like lightning strikes again Story ends and another begins And they will keep on coming They will keep on coming Every single flame burns bright and fades But that's okay My best-laid plans are washed away No time to make 'em all again Sometimes life gets in the way We've got to keep on breathing Look how far we've come Look what we've made Started from nothing, building Brick by, brick by Brick by, brick by Brick by, brick by Brick Brick by, brick by Brick by, brick by Brick by, brick by Brick So we're back to broken hearted Back to where we started Everything we built gone down again If this was in the movies It's said to be the truth Bet no one would believe a word of it Far reaching on the hillsides Losing by a landslide Everybody's patience wearing thin The drama ends and another begins But if everybody loses, everybody wins Every single flame burns bright and fades But that's okay My best-laid plans are washed away No time to make 'em all again Sometimes life gets in the way We've got to keep on breathing Look how far we've come Look what we've made Started from nothing, building Brick by, brick by Brick by, brick by Brick by, brick by Brick Brick by, brick by Brick by, brick by Brick by, brick by Brick All we have is us To build back up What we have lost But that's enough Every single flame burns bright and fades But that's okay My best-laid plans are washed away No time to make 'em all again Sometimes life gets in the way We've got to keep on breathing Look how far we've come Look what we've made Started from nothing, building My best-laid plans are washed away (Brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by) No time to make 'em all again (Brick by brick) Sometimes life gets in the way (Brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by) We've got to keep on breathing (Brick by brick) My best-laid plans are washed away (Brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by) No time to make 'em all again (Brick by brick) Sometimes life gets in the way (Brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by, brick by)
