"he talks about all these great buildings and art pieces and how they can be rebuilt, but there is no way to bring his friend back."
I don't think he's talking about bringing his friend back so much as how there won't ever be another like him. He seems to use the art pieces to represent the irreplaceable and the monuments to represent the so-called "wonders" that could always be rebuilt. "sometimes something comes along and you know it's for sure the only one; The Mona Lisa, the David, the Sistine Chapel, Jesus, Mary, and Joe; And when they built you, brother, they broke the mold"
