FAWM: "Still Brothers"

Still Brothers

Liner Notes

I actually have two sisters, but you know what this song is about. Making something simple that strives to be universal without watering it down is really hard.

#4track #cassette

Lyrics

I met a talker on the train Thoughts were rattling in his brain I asked him if he’d like something to read

He was shaking in his bones At the thought of going back home They promised to make peace and he agreed

Brothers torn apart are still brothers Brothers torn apart are still brothers

We shook hands I said my name He was just about to do the same The quaking shake of brakes ended the scene

Got up and shoved his way out There’s nothing to be sorry about I don’t mind he took my magazine

Brothers torn apart Are still brothers Brothers torn apart Are still brothers You forgive yourself then the other Brothers torn apart are still brothers Til the end

I really love the sentiment of this one. Guitars and vox sound perfect per usual sir Bacci. 😮‍💨

I love the guitars and the storytelling. Really really sweet. “You forgive yourself and then the other”

Love the brevity of this so much — such good, concise storytelling with funny and characterizing details peppered in. Prine-level. It's also redefining "wall of guitars"!

The sentiment behind this reminds me of one of my favorite Springsteen deep cuts — Highway Patrolman. Family stuff is so hard, but it's so impressive when an artist can capture that dynamic in just a few minutes
