“David’s Brother” is the ninth track from The Favors' debut album, The Dream. It was released alongside the album, on September 19, 2025.
The song is named after Vince Marinelli, who is the brother of The Favors' David Marinelli. This was initially just speculation; however, it was confirmed just o...
[Verse 1: Ashe & FINNEAS, Ashe, FINNEAS]
Found your note in my pocket
That you wrote on the train
Razor's still in the socket
And my (Your) hair's in the drain
[Pre-Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS, FINNEAS]
Hold my breath and count to thirty
Ever since you left, I don't feel worthy
Under house arrest, dishes dirty
Couldn't stay home
Stay home
(Hey)
[Verse 2: FINNEAS, Ashe]
Too much pain in my pleasure
With an eighth in my purse
Well, you never looked better
But I've never felt worse
[Pre-Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]
Washed my sheets and changed my number
Go to therapy and acupuncture
Saw you at the bar with David's brother
Shoulda stayed home
Stayed home
[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]
I'm coming around again
It's keeping me down like the bends
[Verse 3: Ashe & FINNEAS]
Tried to be a different person
Made a joke and took a shot
What a way to learn your lesson
Of who you are and who you're not
[Pre-Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]
My, my, mind, mind in the gutter
On a moonlit drive, la-la-lackluster
Got me wishing I was David's brother
On the way home
Shoulda stayed home
[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS, Ashe]
I'm coming around (I'm coming around) again (Again)
It's keeping me down (Keeping me down) like the bends (Like the bends)
[Bridge: Ashe & FINNEAS]
Oh, I still wait outside for you
Wonder why I always seem to lose
I never mind the way I hurt for you
All the time
[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS, Ashe, FINNEAS]
Coming around again
It's keeping me down like the bends
Coming around (Coming around) again (Again)
Keeping me down (Keeping me down) like the bends (Like the bends)

Is “David’s Brother” a throwback, retro, different-style version of “Jessie’s Girl”?
I’ve never thought of it. That’s cool!
Conceptually, absolutely. There’s a line [in] the second verse that’s ‘Got me wishing I was David’s brother’. So, yeah, it’s “Jessie’s Girl”, it’s a flip.

This was the last song written on the first [writing] trip, so this was song number four or five [that we had written for the album], in the room with all four of us, Ashe playing those chords. Then we got that kind of groove going, and then we started to write atop it.
This was all written in the...
[FINNEAS was] really excited about 4100 Bar in Los Angeles, and I was like, “Guys, we can’t say 4100”; it was too niche. David [Marinelli]’s brother goes to 4100 Bar a lot, so suddenly it took on this life of, like, the bar that David’s brother’s always at.
4100, Ashe is like, “That doesn’t sing we...
