    Timeless. You don't come here without knowing exactly where you are going.

      I first heard this in 2011 on the radio, it was a live performance with a french singer-songwriter called Marie Pierre-Arthur on guest vocals. I was 22. I don’t know how or why this song has remained such a constant in my life. It’s the one I always come back to when I need to remember whatever this feeling is. I don’t know what to call it, but I think you know the one.

      A friend of mine introduced me to Barr brothers a few years back while woofing at a medicinal flower garden in the Quebec appalachians. I remember that I loved the sound after a good day of flower caring and had forgotten about them since then. and just randomly thought of the Barr brothers tonight. Looked them up on bandcamp to listen to their music and potentially buy their albums. To my great surprise one cannot listen to their music on bandcamp. So here I am hopping over to youtube to listen to their full songs. Beautiful , soothing, their sound is calling me back to them.

    Such a beautiful song. I listen to the Barr Brothers when I need an escape from life's everyday worries and stressors. I love how pure and raw their music is - something that going mainstream would surely impact. This is beautiful, haunting, hopeful, comforting. This song is a feeling without a single word that can describe it.

      I'm pretty into music and just found them today. I'd say they're not quite mainstream for sure. Whenever I find a relatively unknown band it makes me wonder how many great sounds were created over the decades, never really heard except for a lucky few.

    I believe these guys were ahead of time. This music style has become much more popular in the past decade. Their songs fit so well into my playlists with the likes of elbow, Mudford n sons etc. Happy times, let the stress of the day melt away.

    Me and the little lady stumbled across your set upon the Garden Stage at End of the Road; we stayed and were absolutely in awe. We then saw you perform this in the Tipi late at night and it quite simply cemented our love for you. You then came and sat next to us at the bonfire and my gal had to drag me away from telling you that I wanted your babies. That is life. Please come back in 2014. We will be installing some art in honour of said festival.

    For the past few years I’ve had a deeply personal connection to The Slip. They had songs like no other. I always thought the band just faded out into existence until I stumbled across The Barr Brothers. You guys were crushing it the whole time and I never knew.

    Steady woman won't you come on down?
    I need you right here on the ground
    I've walked the outskirts of this town
    Been terrorized by what I've found
    I saw a standing virgin bride
    Where holy Dionysus died
    She tore the heart out from his side
    And laid it there, and there she cried
    She said, "Hello, I'm a monster too."
    "What poisons me is what poisons you."
    Into these animals we grew
    But when we were young our eyes were blue
    I take my medicine on my knee
    Twice a day but lately three
    Keeps the devil from my door
    And it makes me rich and it makes me poor
    I'm a beggar in the morning,
    I'm a king at night,
    My belt is loose,
    But my trigger is tight
    May come without warning,
    At the speed of the light
    Make it shine so pretty
    Make it shine so bright
    I think I've come a long, long way
    To stand before you here today
    They're yours alone, the songs I play,
    To take with you or throw away
    Whoa-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o, Whoa-o-o-o
    (Away forever or fade away)
    Oh, I want an angel to wipe my tears,
    Know my dreams, my hopes, desires and fears
    We may capsize, but we won't drown
    Hold each other as the sun goes down
    I'm a beggar in the morning,
    I'm a king at night,
    My belt is loose, and
    My trigger is tight
    May come without warning
    At the speed of the light-
    Make it shine so pretty,
    Make it shine so bright.

    The current South Korean political situations are so crazy that lots of citizens are super stressed out
    because of the dictator material new elect Yoon. I've listened to Barr Brothers music for some years
    and last night this song popped up from my playlist, which brought me to tears all of a sudden.
    This is a really effective antidote to everyday stresses. Thanks a lot for the great music, the Barr Brothers!

      @@shreddagorge Thanks for the lovely comment and recommendation. I'm really concerned that a lot of countries
      including mine are suffering under horrendous dictators lately.
      We're protesting in the candlelight protests every weekend but still, Yoon has 28% approval rate(untrustworthy survey!)
      and he's got the power of Prosecution. I just want the world to stay peaceful but it seems like an unlikely dream.

    @MidnightSmog The chords are as follows:

    F/A - XX3210
    Am - X02210
    G - 320003
    F - 133211
    They're played in that order during the verse, and the chorus is pretty much just G and F.
