“Brother” is the fourth song on the Record Store Day America EP and is a bonus track on the Japanese edition of the third album Stay Gold by Swedish sister duo First Aid Kit. It was written for their 11-year old brother, but didn’t make the cut on the original version of the Stay Gold album.
[Verse 1]
Brother, you are my guiding star
Forever, you roam, I won't be far
I have so many things to learn from you
I was so lost until you came through
And led me through the dark
[Chorus]
Brother, come close don't stray away
For I know
You'll turn and run from us some day
Like you must
We all do
I've been there too
If it all gets too real
I know how you feel
And I'll be your guiding light
[Verse 2]
Världen är så stor min bror
Den är så skrämmande stor
När det blir för tungt, min bror
Lägger du tyngden på mig då?
[Chorus]
Brother, I haven't always been near
There's so much I've been through the last couple of years
You did grow
Leaps and bounds
With or without me
Here I am
Understand it's where I want to be
I'll follow you
My guiding star
Brother was written by Johanna Söderberg & Klara Söderberg.
