About Brother's Ghost

Recorded Live from the Room Upstairs 2/17/2009

Brother’s Ghost

Let me tell you a story about a man who some say had no glory
Out did himself, outside himself, died too young, he was always in a hurry
He said “I was a free man when it was 13, 13.”
Life ain’t what it seemed at 13
It feels so mean

He spent his days running wild, chasing dreams, and blowing clouds
Runnin’ them dogs through them slip streams
Runnin’ tables and telling fables, pushing brooms and sellin' heirlooms
We played your faded tunes through message balloons sailing over your stone tomb…

It’s so easy to slip away…. in my way, in my way
It’s so easy to loose your way…. in my day, in my day
I feel so tired, I feel so lazy, I feel so mired, feel so hazy
I feel so tired, I feel so mean, I feel everything in between
But my brother’s ghost
He haunts me most...

I remember one September, it was oh so cold, oh so cold
Had the shiver outside by the river in the sun
I saw him there, I saw him there
I swear I saw him there
He took a boot strap to my chin, I heard him say: “that’s my brother let him in”

“Give him peace lord, give him love
Thank your lucky stars brother, push and shove
Forgive me brother the stairs above
The pusher man comes with a silken glove”

It’s so easy to slip away…. in my way, in my way
It’s so easy to loose your way…. in my day, in my day
I feel so tired, I feel so lazy, I feel so tired, feel so crazy
I feel so tired, I feel so mean, I feel everything in between
But my brother’s ghost
He helps me most...

“I know personally this song has deep meaning to the artist. Loss is a hard thing to deal with and I know that his brother would really like this one. I love the clarity of this recording and the singers story is palpable enough to make you cry. ”

“I love the way everything in this song sounds, the guitar is strong, but airy, but most of all, you can really hear the guitar being played, not just the notes. You can hear every nuance in the vocals and all of the emotion that they carry. This is a beatiful song.”
