Brother.

Brother is a song by LA indie rock band Lord Huron. It means a lot to me and if you know the song it might mean a lot to you as well. If this post is your first exposure to the song, read through the words a couple of times and maybe find the song on your favorite music platform and give it a listen. What does it it say to you?

How long have I known you, brother?
Hundreds of lives, thousands of years
How many miles have we wandered
Under the sky, chasing our fear?

Some kind of trouble is coming
Don’t know when, don’t know what
I will stand by you, brother
Till the daylight comes or I’m dead and gone

I’ve shared my life with you, brother
Since I recall, you’ve been my friend
You say we’re not like the others
Still, we must die; all things must end

I know we can’t stop what’s coming
But I will try, oh, how I’ll try
Will you fight with me, brother?
One last time, one last fight?

Don’t turn away, don’t tell me that we’re not the same
We face the fire together, brothers till the end
Don’t run away – our time will come, but not today
I stand beside you, brother, with you till the end

Don’t turn away, don’t tell me that we’re not the same
We face the fire together, brothers till the end
Don’t run away – our time will come, but not today
I stand beside you, brother, with you till the end

Don’t turn away, don’t tell me that we’re not the same
We face the fire together, brothers till the end
Don’t run away – our time will come, but not today
I stand beside you, brother, with you till the end

Don’t turn away, don’t tell me that we’re not the same
We face the fire together, brothers till the end
Don’t run away – our time will come, but not today
I stand beside you, brother, with you till the end
