Yeah I was thinking the same thing, he needs to hire a team for a glow up. It's a necessary evil in this industry to present well. Ya cant come out here looking like a guy who fixes bikes in Portland. It's called show business after all.
An absolute artist to the core, which is sadly what causes so many to go unnoticed. Originality and quality are gold, but gold just doesn't sell like plastic.
It’s the same case with other chillwave/psychedelic artists like Neon Indian and Toro Y Moi maybe Tame Impala too but he has more recognition than any of the artists noted above. Honestly it’s better this way because if they were mainstream then the fanbase would’ve been pretty shit.
Seen him Live last November in Chicago at Shubas Bar,He was sooooo good,the sound was spot on and his voice was perfect,had to check number of times make sure it was his voice!It was amazing!
Lyrics You run through the forest Away from it all You soak in the current With your back to the wall You swim through the tides When the summer calls You follow the sounds of The waterfall I follow to the edge And I fall to the floor I swim in circles And I drift evermore It seems I can't remember Who I was before I'm floating in an ocean That I can't explore But I can hang on to the surface In flowing, oscillated time My lungs are filling up with water But I won't sink to the void I climbed to the top Of the fiery wall I swallowed my emotions And embraced the fall Exploring through the silence Of the shadows call I'm swimming through the current And I feel it all But I can hang on to the surface In flowing, oscillated time My lungs are filling up with water But I won't sink to the void
What the hell. I just ran across this song and I've had the album version on repeat, and I can't even believe did all this alone, and that the live version is somehow way better than the album one. Wow. Well done.
" but I won't sink to the void"...It would seem that you didn't sink, you emerged into the light. As one who has had a few dicey times during a "bad trip", I can relate...welcome back.
So excited to have stumbled upon such a talented artist! I genuinely thought this was a band, or at least a duo of some sort? Bravo! Can't wait to see what music you come up with next. Thank you for sharing.
But IIIII can hang on to the surfaceeeeeeeee In flowinggggggg oscillated time My lungs areeeee filling up with waterrrrrrrrohhh But I won't sink to the void
Absolutely amazing song. Found BT/John by chance when I came across his Tears For Fears cover album and have loved his music since. Probably doesn't get a lot of older (50+) fans like me...will likely be the oldest guy in the crowd when I see him in LA this coming November. 🤣
I’m a chef in a pup in Northern California and I knock this song everyday at work on repeat this is my song when I have over 10 orders this song gave me hope when I almost passed away from Covid as well
I love Brothertiger, I watch and listen to this over and over again and I love it! He’s Good looking too, so that helps 😆 but my gosh his music is just amazing 🔈

This is pure Genius! I can’t express in words the brilliance behind what is going in this performance from the lyrics, to the emotion, to the music itself or the guy behind it all. Absolutely breathtaking!! I’ve listened to this over and over, studying every part of what’s going on either with my eyes or ears, since hearing this song. I’ve yet to explore this magnificent artist’s other creations.
This song -- and artist -- are so good. This was the first track I was exposed to, thanks to the pretty spot-on algorithm on Spotify. Took me awhile to even dive in further than this track, I kept going back to it time and again. Thankfully, I did explore beyond this and I'm a legit fan now. From the tracks with vocals to the "Fundamentals" series of instrumentals, this guy understands how to make music that invokes feeling. I love it. Keep making music dude.
John doesn't get the recognition he deserves. His music is so incredibly good.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, he needs to hire a team for a glow up. It's a necessary evil in this industry to present well. Ya cant come out here looking like a guy who fixes bikes in Portland. It's called show business after all.
Amen

I'm so lucky I found this... It truly made my day. If y'all are here with me try out photay. It's up the same alley.

The most underrated song of the decade.
Probably the most underrated artist in pop history. Shit, jj cale got more credit.
I totally love Brothertiger. His works are just exotic and take you to a thoughtful place to recharge yourself.
It's my favorite song still. Even after multiple years. This is the one.
I know exactly what you mean.
@@Danstired yuh
yes! Definitely
I often find myself just listening to it on repeat.
Absolutely!!
One of those rare gifted artists who simply channel the music, rather than perform it. Fantastic
Seen him Live last November in Chicago at Shubas Bar,He was sooooo good,the sound was spot on and his voice was perfect,had to check number of times make sure it was his voice!It was amazing!
I don't care how many times I listen to this... This tune is always there for me when I need it.
"you cant be a one man orchestra."
Brothertiger: Hold my 2 keyboards
Omg look up Bayonne or Roger Sellers - start with Omar (live)
I wish i had the nerve to go up to him after the show and talk with him about his craft and how he does that with the keyboard!
i listen to this song on repeat frequently. god damn brothertiger is good.
This is daily player. Even better than the original right?
This song is a fucking vibe. Pain, regret sorrow, hope.. ❤️
Lyrics
You run through the forest
Away from it all
You soak in the current
With your back to the wall
You swim through the tides
When the summer calls
You follow the sounds of
The waterfall
I follow to the edge
And I fall to the floor
I swim in circles
And I drift evermore
It seems I can't remember
Who I was before
I'm floating in an ocean
That I can't explore
But I can hang on to the surface
In flowing, oscillated time
My lungs are filling up with water
But I won't sink to the void
I climbed to the top
Of the fiery wall
I swallowed my emotions
And embraced the fall
Exploring through the silence
Of the shadows call
I'm swimming through the current
And I feel it all
But I can hang on to the surface
In flowing, oscillated time
My lungs are filling up with water
But I won't sink to the void
thank you
What the hell. I just ran across this song and I've had the album version on repeat, and I can't even believe did all this alone, and that the live version is somehow way better than the album one. Wow. Well done.
I could listen to his music forever...
It's good of BCS to have hosted Brothertiger, even though it wasn't their normal genre.
I thought the album version was good. Man, this one is freaking amazing.
I can't stop listening.
My Spotify discover weekly Brought me here, I been hearing this song on a loop since two weeks ago!
This song saved me during my bad trip. He doesn’t even know that he saved my mental sanity
" but I won't sink to the void"...It would seem that you didn't sink, you emerged into the light. As one who has had a few dicey times during a "bad trip", I can relate...welcome back.

I always come back to these two songs in bridge city sessions.
I'm in trance, it's calming, vibes are right, yet it's nostalgic feeling.
But IIIII
can hang on to the surfaceeeeeeeee
In flowinggggggg oscillated time
My lungs areeeee filling up with waterrrrrrrrohhh
But I won't sink to the void
This guy is brilliant!
Imma cry if I saw him play live. Splendid!

54 years old here. :O)

My goodness! So glad I was able to witness live before this pandemic hit!
Still on my daily playlist!
Damn this version is so good too. Really cool to watch him do his stuff live. He should be bigger than he is tbh
Just discovered on a playlist, shocking he hasn't come my way before now. Great, great stuff...
This is the best music 😮🎉
I still find myself dancing this on the streets
I’m a chef in a pup in Northern California and I knock this song everyday at work on repeat this is my song when I have over 10 orders this song gave me hope when I almost passed away from Covid as well
So gifted. A natural propensity for melody and so much more.
I fucking love this song!!!
Very relaxing and helped me be recollective.
Its feels and sounds like magic!
I love Brothertiger, I watch and listen to this over and over again and I love it! He’s Good looking too, so that helps 😆 but my gosh his music is just amazing 🔈
