lyrics

I don’t know why the world is round
What is music, but the speed of sound
We hear and sway
We dance and play

I don’t know how to let you go
Thoughts are racing, but my heart is slow
Be still, obey
Please leave, please stay

Maybe people shouldn’t grow so close
Every lover leaves a gaping hole
So hold me close
So hold me close

Every moral has a fairytale
There’s a human underneath each shell
Hold tight, release
Please stay, please leave

And suddenly you’re far away from home
And suddenly you’re far away from home

about

Brother Spellbinder San Francisco, California

Well crafted songs with old world ache and modern angst. The best music defies any strict definition. But suffice it to say that Brother Spellbinder combine various musical textures into something melodic, otherworldly, and yet earthy and tangible.
