Tyler Braden - Brother (Acoustic) [One Song, One Take]

Tyler Braden - Brother (Acoustic)

If ever there was a country artist ready to set the world on fire, it would have to be Tyler Braden. He has the gritty powerhouse vocal, the expressive pen and the ability to deliver a lyric with complete conviction worthy of a headliner. Braden grew up in Slapout, Alabama just miles from the graveyard memorial to Hank Williams. With parents who fostered an early appreciation for country music, guitar-playing songwriters populating the airwaves and a group of rock-loving friends by his side, he spent much of his life blending natural influences to craft a sound of his own. His early twenties saw him playing local shows and touring the southeast while serving as a first responder in Montgomery. A gig in Music City inspired a move north, and Braden continued firefighting in the suburbs of Nashville while preparing to take his music career to the next level. His first date at the homegrown Whiskey Jam concert series in January 2017 paved his path to today: Braden recently signed a major label record deal with Warner Music Nashville. He will release his take on the NEEDTOBREATHE hit “Brother” in May, and fans can expect new original music later this year. With upwards of 25 million streams already to his name and a growing list of major tour credits, Braden is ready to fire away.

Worked with this guy in the fire service. It was immediately apparent he was very talented as a singer/player/songwriter. There are thousands of those out there. The difference with Braden is the person behind all that. He is a class act whether on a stage or otherwise. I genuinely hope he makes it to the very top.

Wow. Last time I was this impressed was when I found Zach Bryan. Nothing better than a raw acoustic session. No studio, no autotune, no cheesy lyrics. Just. Real. Music. Thank you!

Ramblers in the wilderness
We can't find what we need
Get a little restless from the searching
Get a little worn down in between
Like a bull chasing the matador
Is the man left to his own schemes
Everybody needs someone beside you
Shining like a lighthouse from the sea
Brother, let me be your shelter
I'll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one that lights the way
Bring you home
Face down in the desert now
There's a cage locked around my heart
Found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
Now my hands can't reach that far
I ain't made for rivalry
I could never take the world alone
Know that in my weakness I am strong
But it's your love that brings me home
Brother, let me be your shelter
I'll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one that lights the way
Bring you home
And when you call and need me near
Saying where'd you go? (Where'd you go?)
Brother, I'm right here
And all those days when the sky begins to fall
You're the blood of my blood
We can get through it all
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your shelter
I'll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're feelin' low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one that lights the way
Bring you home
Mm, bring you home

We buried my old partner, and this song was at the wake. By a different artist. I immediately felt that this was a relevant song to all of us first responders. Wish we had your rendition that night. Thank you for sharing.

Wish unplugged raw versions of songs were posted on more than just YouTube. This is infinitely better than the produced version.

[brianharris]

[northernXposed]

this song hit me in the feels big time. as a first responder and anniversary of 9/11 tomorrow, 100% our brothers are our shelters. just awesome man. I'm glad i found this. thank you.

[rickyemond]

The rasp mixed with that vibrato had me hooked from the beginning.

[jennybrown]

Lost my lil brother August 31st, planned his funeral this song hits home. RIP Kyle Brown 8-31-22

[LiberadoOG]

I lost my little brother to suicide 3 years ago and this song rings true to how I felt about him. I'd have taken the bullet he put in himself. He was the first person I'd call whenever something exciting or awful happened in my life, but he always kept so much to himself. Always willing to help me out, but never asked for anything in return. I miss him so much. I realize this is a song about your brothers in trade, but I feel it works out OK for my real brother, too. Thanks for sharing.

[johnakaODB]

Today is my older brothers birthday tomorrow is mommas they're both in heaven. Thank you Tyler😪🙏

[JakePalmer]

I love how raw this is. Never stop posting acoustics, no matter how big you get! 🙏🏼

[HarrellB_US]

The reason I love acoustic covers is that it shows where songs usually come from first. Walking in the door after a long day and you pick that guitar up and vent and boom! A song is born. I sometimes wonder about how many great songs we'll never hear

[wesstrosnider]

I lost my brother unexpectedly and very sudden in March. He was my best friend. We always were there for each other, he was my rock. Sucks not having that person you can confide in that understands you and accepts and loves you unconditionally no matter what.. This song just hit me hard, I miss him very much :(

[donnaroys]

My brother passed away on the 21st of August very tragically. The detective identified him by his prints.😭😓 He was my true rock. Us kids were all adopted into separate homes. We reunited five years ago after a dna test almost 30 years later. Never separated again and we were best friends. A bond I can’t explain. I’ve had this song on repeat for days. Playing this at his celebration of life on November 4, 2023. I love you Ricky & I miss you! This hurts Bubby. Replaying our memories and my stomach is full of pain! I love you! 😓🙌🏽💪🏽💯 You are my hero! I love you dearly….. Just wanna hug you and hear you laugh…

[ragewolf]

Your voice just touched the heart of a monster and for a moment I remembered what it was to be human... Thank You for the tears for they heal the hurt
