Dean Brody "Brothers" (BBR) Add date: October 27 Source: Country Air Check Audio: wm.allaccess.com/allaccess/deanbrot.wmaComments: This is an absolutely nauseating way to break into the format. On the plus side, it is a fresh perspective on the "loved one gone off to war" story, but that's where the compliments stop for me. It seems horribly contrived and some of the lyrics were just painful (the "I miss our pillow fights" was downright hard to listen to). And then, just when it couldn't get any worse, the brother gets crippled and the narrator has to "push him home", thus validating the "that's what brothers are for" premise of the song. I'll stop there before I rant and really start bashing it, but that has to be one of the worst sappy songs I've ever heard. |

it's not for everyone, but the topic is something that a lot of people can relate to

Broken Bow has managed to get this song, which I'm not fond of at all, up the charts. Not bad. He does have talent though, so I'd love to hear a different song from him blow up on the chart.

I listened to the album. I can notice some Paisley feel on it. Anyway, I still can't have a full opinion about it after the first listen.

i really hope this song is done. this is the worst song on the radio right now, other than Jamey Johnson's new song.

Me too. I actually kinda like it, probably better than at least half of what's on top 40 right now.

Stylistically, I don't mind it at all. I'm actually looking forward to his album because I like his voice and his songstyle choices, but I can't get past the syrupy lyrics on this one. I've tried to listen to it several times, but by about the the 3rd time i roll my eyes, I decide it's time to change the station.

The song it's OK for me. And it's done quite good. I was expecting a big flop first time I heard it.

I agree with the last two posts. Very well done! Love the song and the video.
Wish I watched it earlier, but I must have missed Kevin's post with the link in it

I've tried to listen to it several times, but by about the the 3rd time i roll my eyes, I decide it's time to change the station. Have you ever thought the reason the lyrics were 'syrupy' were because it was a younger brother (maybe 12-13)'s POV that Dean is singing from? I know I would've missed and worried about my brother if he went off to war when I was that age. From that POV the lyrics aren't so syrupy anymore. And this is probably why I ended up changing my opinion of the song. |

I think the video really brings out the lyrics nicely, and you can see what perspective they're coming from.

Yeah I agree with some of the recent comments.
Although I loved the song before viewing the video, I still felt some of the lyrics were "syrupy".
However now that we know it was from a younger brother (11-13ish) it makes them a lot more sincere and acceptable.

This song is so cliche, but I have to admit it makes me sad.
