about

Leo Kelly-Gee is proud to present his debut solo single ‘Brother.’

Written shortly after leaving home for the first time, the song is a touching look back at a childhood spent as an older brother looking out for a younger sibling.

With masterful guitar work, powerful evocative lyrics and a chorus that you can’t help but sing along to, ‘Brother’ is the heartwarming soundtrack to anyone who knows what it’s like to grow up with a younger brother in their lives.

lyrics

BROTHER:

I’ll take your sticks and your stones and build a house in a tree
The perfect place for two brothers to build and to be
Concealed in oceans of leaves under islands of bark
We’ll chase the sun to the sky and stay out ‘till it’s dark

Muddy boots and summer rain
Parachutes and paper planes

Well I’ll be there
Your side kick in skimming stones
Yeah I’ll be there
Your buddy in broken bones
And if you fall down it’s gonna be fine
Sometimes it’s just nice to know
That someone’s waiting to pick you back up from the floor

You drive my patience to town and burn it out of its skin
Refuse to lose to the point where it’s pointless to win
And though the rest of the world couldn’t bring me down blue
There’s no one else who could make me see red quite like you

Well I’ll be there
Your side kick in skimming stones
Yeah I’ll be there
Your buddy in broken bones
And if you fall down it’s gonna be fine
Sometimes it’s just nice to know
That someone’s waiting to catch you and laugh that they told you so

No matter how many words that we say and don’t mean
No matter how many years wander by in between
You’re still five to me

So though I puncture your plastic and trash all your toys
And you break your back to break back it’s just boys being boys
Though I pretend to my friends that I’d turn you away
I’d have your back if you asked and I know you’re the same

Coz bound in blood are you and I
Cross your heart and hope to die

Well I’ll be there
Your side kick in skimming stones
Yeah I’ll be there
Your brother in broken bones
And if you fall down it’s gonna be fine
Sometimes it’s just nice to know
That someone’s waiting to give you that shoulder ride home
