I am 46, married with two sons 23 & 24 years old, both left the nest already. I became very sick and am now alone 90% of the time as my Wife works in corporate America. This song and the focus on loneliness is what resonates with me. I was a competitive Hockey player and a guitarist for 33 years until this disease took everything from me. My Sons rarely visit and my Wife is always at work, I feel the Robot's pain, I understand it. This song and his voice make me weep every time I hear this song.
HeyItsDana//loredanapace8 undecended testicles he reminds me of the castratos of the 1800's. it's the only medical thing that makes sense. his talking register lowered but his singing voice is still childlike. very much a hormone/undecension issue.
[Verse 1] I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen I made him on the table in the den I gave him my old cell phone for a head, for a head And we spent holidays at my house And we left presents in a stocking And we bought bolts and things and strings And a new watch, that's what he got [Chorus] And we had so much fun together We knew we'd be friends forever And we had so much fun together We had so much fun [Verse 2] Then I left for college in September And we wept cause we can't be together So I kept pictures to remember my old friend, my old friend Then I met this girl at graduation And forget my oldest creation And I guess I'll see him next vacation Send my best, I send my best [Chorus] And we had so much fun together We knew we'd be friends forever And we had so much fun together We had so much fun [Bridge] I came home to find him on the table With a note, scribbled out in pencil And he wrote, that he just wasn't stable all alone, all alone Next to him, an empty glass of water That he spilt, all over the body That I built, it fizzled and it popped And then it killed, and then it killed [Chorus] And we had so much fun together We thought we'd be friends forever And we had so much fun together We had so much fun I built a friend
I've just recently discovered Alec's music, specifically hearing this song first, and I must say he is absolutely brilliant. Beautiful voice, and a great talent all round
Hannah Morris I agree but it is a very busy park in L.A. Alec was shocked we were there cause we live in Chicago but we happened to be there on vacation & had to see him.
“It’s about a kid who doesn’t have any friends so he built one and like grew up and didn’t have time to hang out with his friend so he came home and found him dead”. Oop- Also anyone else hear the girl behind the camera singing along silently?
I can sing this song...I love the song you make I'm never ever going a day with out singing a songs you made that's how good you are...sorry I talk alot...😂😂
Posso ser uma simples garota pra vc mas sempre fui sua fã e sério vc merecia muito sucesso embora goste de todas as suas músicas meu sonho é te conhecer espero que esse sonho se realize , beijo pra você Alec de todas(os) seus fãs do Brasil

[Verse 1]
I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen
I made him on the table in the den
I gave him my old cell phone for a head, for a head
And we spent holidays at my house
And we left presents in a stocking
And we bought bolts and things and strings
And a new watch, that's what he got
[Chorus]
And we had so much fun together
We knew we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun
[Verse 2]
Then I left for college in September
And we wept cause we can't be together
So I kept pictures to remember my old friend, my old friend
Then I met this girl at graduation
And forget my oldest creation
And I guess I'll see him next vacation
Send my best, I send my best
[Chorus]
And we had so much fun together
We knew we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun
[Bridge]
I came home to find him on the table
With a note, scribbled out in pencil
And he wrote, that he just wasn't stable all alone, all alone
Next to him, an empty glass of water
That he spilt, all over the body
That I built, it fizzled and it popped
And then it killed, and then it killed
[Chorus]
And we had so much fun together
We thought we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun
I built a friend
FrickenRemixes thx
FrickenRemixes i
In the second chorus it's we thought we'd be friends forever
Not we knew we'd be friends forever
We’re fans of Alec we don’t need no lyrics
