Pepper Rabbit- Song of the day

I only discovered this band erm... yesterday but woah, they are definately a band to keep on your radar, i suspect great success is in store for this group. lately i've been putting up a lot of "happy" and "feel good" songs but this song Older Brother is anything but. The lyrics in my opinion express the feeling of the lyricist who has just lost someone very close to him- "the brother I never had" very sad and raw emotions that create a beautiful song on top of the melodies and tunes.

Lyrics to Older Brother:

We both sat, on our beds, in my room.
And we talked about what was coming soon.
All the pink powder wont cover up what we did.
Doing wrong when, we were just kids.


And I think that you're the older brother,
that I never had.
I wish I could reach out and touch you.
Dont worry, i'm not sad.
I know you're just where you want to be,
and everyone's a hundred grand.
Say you wont stay for me,
say hello to your dad.



I will look after your sister I swear.
I'll write her when she's lonely, and send it off in the air.
I will keep her safe, until i'm dead.
She'll always have a place to rest her head.
You dont have to worry about it now,
you dont have to live with that frown.
I will hold your memory close to my chest,
though I wish you hadn't said it was best.
Could you have stayed just one more night,
for all of us to say good bye.
But i'll love your troubles and i'm gone,
you still feel so damn warm.
