BrotherlandA song recorded solo a few years back which I thought fell a little short on intensity.This version, with Scott adding great guitar,and leading the production, sounds closer to the feeling I had for the write, and rerecording it got me into the "brothers" space again for a new song; there`s more to discover in Brotherland. (the original song recording I had to remove from my SC page as its chock full-the account upgrade cost is too much for me!) RT701 Bass RDrums Driving Pop 8ths RT 3182 AC Gtr RT 3181 Ac Gtr RT3267 Cello RT833 El. Gtr Brotherland we grew up north of happy across the river from getting by born under a bad sign the song he played after school you better stay on planet Star Wars my brother winked blazing that J this world`s done he`d say tell you what we`ll do we`ll make another country we`ll do things different there in brotherland we can`t fly they`ll never know never know we walk walk an inch above the ground we ran under the radar he said proud nails get hammered down the first kids on the moon they`ll never find our base I wonder if he even knows he was half the air in my world between the bottle and his girl we built our escape we made another country we do things different there in brotherland we can`t fly they`ll never know never know we walk walk an inch above the ground © Robert Cordrey Nov.2019

Nice job with the lyrics - evocative and poetic, but clear. It all works for me.

Went back to the old version from 2019 for comparison but it's gone. This was one of the first songs I heard from you and it was a real eye-opener for me because I'd never heard anyone be so poetic in a musical context. Still amazed at how you pull it off. This song has several great lines in it and a perfect musical backing. Solo fits so well. Vocal great as well. Everything just fits, well done.

This sounds great!
Whatever you added must have done the trick.
You are a really good songwriter. I love this lyrics. Excellent instrumentation, and Scott is sounding good!

I like it, especially the lyrics and the guitar work. And great harmonies!
I'd add another harmonized "walk an inch above the ground" at the end

om Thanks for that-I agree Scott`s playing & that wah solo is great! My hearing was compromised during the mix so this is Scott`s take- vocal levels sound good to me on`phones though. Nice job with the lyrics - evocative and poetic, but clear. It all works for me. Thank you,David! Went back to the old version from 2019 for comparison but it's gone. This was one of the first songs I heard from you and it was a real eye-opener for me because I'd never heard anyone be so poetic in a musical context. Still amazed at how you pull it off. This song has several great lines in it and a perfect musical backing. Solo fits so well. Vocal great as well. Everything just fits, well done. TuneMonger, Sorry about the missing original- I left a note in the intro for anyone else curious about it. This version is slowed down a little with a couple of major to minor chord changes. I really appreciate your very kind comments on the Spirit Level rework of the song.
This sounds great!
Whatever you added must have done the trick.
You are a really good songwriter. I love this lyrics. Excellent instrumentation, and Scott is sounding good!
David, I just added a few years of missing my bro` and big servings of Scott! Thanks for listening and commenting. Robert

Robert,
I think one of my favorite set of lyrics from you—and maybe top song as well. Those opening two lines are excellent, as does all that follows. Like how the chorus kicks in—wonderful melody and harmony, sweet arrangement. Scott’s guitar aces as always. Outstanding collaboration!
My best to you both.

Was really surprised and elated when Robert sent this piece to me. For me this song had a natural melody that just came to me in the first few minutes of listening to it. It felt like I had been playing it in my rotation for the last 10 years..
Thanks for all the awesome comments.
There was so much cool stuff going on in the Real tracks that I tried to make sure the instruments all had their own space aka Floyd, Bud and Jani's productions..

Cool story, Robert. Your lyrics are always so staggeringly awesome. It's really cool how you create mental images with words. Man, that harmony really grabs ya. Really cool what Scott said about hearing this and instantly hearing the melody. Man, Scott it sounds so good. Excellent wah effect.
Yeah, I go that last-in-first-out routine to make way for new stuff on SC, too.

Your usual top-notch level, with your signature sensitivity to the nth degree. Your writing (both music and lyrics) always leaves me speechless and your delivery is exactly what's needed, in my humble opinion. This is a pro production, without the "technical shine to the nth degree" that some "pro productions" have, and that I feel detracts so much from them. Congratulations to you both.

Robert,
I didn't hear the original but I like this.
Evocative lyrics and great guitar work.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Scott’s performance and production truly suit the lyric, Robert and y’all were really “cooking!” Great mix too, Scott! Love the wah guitar, Scott, and the emotions come through clearly in your vocal, Robert. “we made another country we do things different there in brotherland” This section reminded me (Janice) of how my little sister and I spent hours and hours in our imaginary world when we were growing up. We look forward to those additional brotherland songs! J&B
