Brand New - Brother's Song Lyrics
So the air's getting colder
And the news keeps us scared
We still wrestle this summer
From the bones of our tired, blistered hands
Cause tonight we got drinks
And the girl that my brother likes is finally talking to him
And his chest is all swelled like he's proud and happy
Like he's got a great idea
Like he's making a memory
Wake up and come out to the car
There's an east swell coming
And it's howling off shore
And we'll be lying like lions out in the sands
But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hands
So we make jokes back home
And we lighten the mood
But growing up my parents saw
What sending a kid to fight can really do
Now with the war I can tell they're a little shook up
Cause just a few mother's sons will never really be enough
Not 'til half of our names are etched out in a wall
And the other half ruined from the things we saw
[x2]
Wake up and come out to the car
There's an east swell coming
And it's howling off shore
And we'll be lying like lions out in the sands
But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hands

Brand New Brother's Song Comments
Heart wrenching
Fuck god
Saw them at the Shrine Hall in LA on April 15th, 2015. They played this song, exact version and everything. I'd never heard it before and when I got home desperately searched everywhere to find it. I finally found the leaked version but it just never hit like this one did. Im so glad they released it because it reminds me of how completely enamored I was when they played it
Love the surfing lyrics. Listened to this non stop during my brothers open heart surgery and he loves surfing
Before 2018 ends i wish they are back again to release more demos and make a last show..
I really hope they don't break up, or at least have Jesse's career have some more success after those allegations, since people really hold their music close to heart.
and i tell myself, it's okay to cry listening to Jesse's voice
reworked with much awesomeness
I'm personally a bigger fan of the Aloc Aloc version.
Anybody else get an American Football vibe?
I don't like this version as much as the original. The demo was so raw and emotional. And this... It just feels flat.
Either way, it's a good listen
Oliver Francis brought me here
I AGREE
jesse's voice singing "lying like lions" i came
i like the demo version way better.
I've been a fan for 14 years and I'm not feeling this :/ the original is amazing even though it's bad quality
Is it bad that I prefer the Aloc Acoc lyrics than this one? :C
aloC acoC
I'm shooooook omgggg
Heard Brand New might call it quits so I'm seeing them live every single chance I get between now and then
nicholas perrotti 2018 is the end for them
I wish this song was an hour long.
holy anus balls. i waited a lifetime for this. and it's sosososo perf.
Holy shit.... so beautiful
dont break up. never break up. stay together forever dammit
james bond WERE GONNA STAY 18 FOREVER
Good God how I love brand new... Can't wait for the album!!! So sad to hear this is their last
Finally!!! I've been waiting for so long for one of my favorite bands to release some new jams, and I am not disappointed.
Derek Bernard demo is 10x better
Much more raw
They kinda already did a reworked version of this song. And it's called Coca Cola.
It's good, but I prefer the original demo. I'm a sucker for anything acoustic. :P
Same here :)
I miss depressed Jesse. This new stuff is garbage
Tyler Durden thanks!
Tyler Durden .... Not ..... New
Rashotcake this is new, it’s a re recorded produced version
Opinion on science fiction?
do you own stuff then
really digging these reworked demos. getting excited for the new album. its been too long.
youtube just randomly played this while i was afk. and im like... this is good wutisittt. and i seen brand new. oh, of course.
The subtle vibrato right at the beginning when he says blistered hands. I was hooked after that, his voice used to be a bit Whiney but now it's got a flavour.
Wow, AWESOME AND AMAZING rendition of the song! I really didn't expect the drums to kick in!
Should have put Good Man on this
a bit faster
I'm not crying. I'm not, I swear.
I fucking adore this new version, thank you so very much. <3
This will always be my favorite of the original demos.
I love you Jesse <3 I hope the band isn't breaking up soon, but if it is I'm happy for all the nice music you've made =) (Jesse probably doesn't read these but whatever)
They're releasing one final project before they break up, so it is coming. Jesse said they can't do this much longer. They had a great run though.
appleswithsauce 2018. They're gnna "stay 18 forever " apparently lol
appleswithsauce 2018 is the end of brand new
this was incredible in philly
Already pre-ordered the vinyl and I'm waiting for I Am A Nightmare to come in. Also I'm seeing them with Modest Mouse is a few weeks! This is a great fucking year and I'm so excited
This is worthy enough to be on an album not an EP
Well its a rework of the original song off of the leaked demo album Fight Off Your Demons, which would have been their third album instead of The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me if it hadn't been leaked.
The tempo is far too quick compared to the original.
love it love it love it fuuuucking loooove it!!!!!
dont get me wrong i love all brand new.... just expecting older brand new
i hope the new cd is more like i am a nightmare and not this
00:52 yeah fuck this
Fuck brand new. Tired of their bullshit. Not even gonna listen to or buy the new album.
Someone's butthurt
No one gives a fuck
Definitely the best of the three reworked demos. There's a greater noticeable difference between the reworked version and the demo.
I want to cry. This is so beautiful
Struck a deep cord with me- on first listen
I dig it!
About time but I've already heard these songs
This brings back some memories for way way way back! Unforgettable opening to a song.
Aloc Aloc
Untitled 3
and now this wonderful track to add to the list.
I prefer the raw energy and emotion of the "original," but what a treat it is to get a fresh take on such a great song.
Fuck yea!
so good
One of my favorites from the leaked demos. Frickin deep song! Definitely resonates still!
I cannot wait to hear Untitled.
A Fine Choice! I'm hoping they do a re-worked version of Nobody Moves or "Cleanser" as we knew it back in my day! Haha
+Uriel Landeros they did already on the 2006 demos cassette that came out late last year.
For sure I have that one, but it's not reworked like they did here. 😆
it sounds like placebo
at 0:53, it reminds me one of their songs
Similar moodyness MEDS era.
It has a similar vibe to some of the stuff on Placebo's album 'Meds'.
or sleeping with ghosts, no ?
This is everything.
One of my favorites from the demos. Can't wait to see them tonight with Modest Mouse!
There's three fucking reworked songs. You can't pick one? How does "one of my favorites" work when there's three to pick from? idiot
+Jeffrey Frattini-Cox I never said anything about the new versions. I said the demos. You sound like a swell guy, have a great day.
are you retarded?
This is happening.
WE LIVED TO SEE THIS, BLESSED WE ARE
