Carmody - Brother (Official Visualizer)

‘Brother’ is about my brother, who was a refugee and came to live with my parents 4 years ago. Although he is not blood-related, he has become an integral part of our family and the song explores the idea of embracing strangers and welcoming them into your familial world. He speaks the words from the chorus in Persian on the track, which really brought it to life and emphasised the notion of creating wider communities.

Lyrics:

You weren’t from the waves
came out the sky
fell from your world
with each goodbye
you weren’t from the grey
carried the sun in your eyes
fell to our world

But I hope you know
that we will draw love around you tonight
four hearts a circle brother we’re aligned

The sound of the past
calling you home
you took the space
we’d never known
you weren’t from our blood
but you knew in time
stretched out our arms

And I hope you know
that we will draw love around you tonight
four hearts a circle brother we’re aligned
and we will draw love around you tonight
four hearts a circle brother we’re aligned
