“I was gonna go record that song about my brothers that I wrote, and I was in the booth. Whatever I had sung before, we had turned up the reverb on the mic a lot and we hadn’t changed any of the settings. So when I got in there, I started playing the song (Brothers), just testing levels, and I started playing it real slow for some reason and it just sounded good. I decided to record it like that. And I didn’t think that the lyrics should be the same so I just wrote another set of lyrics to it. It’s about a lot of stuff, it’s about Derrick’s friend who died that night, and about my dad, and other things that are worrisome to me, I suppose.”
I was going to listen to this without crying about the best past parts of my life. I thought about brand new and the time I chased a tire and rim I rolled down a hill street all the way through the back of a car window. Still have that piece of glass in my upper lip just below my nose.
I prefer this version over 'brothers' as well. especially the first verse.
I only ever listened to the intro and turned off thinking "It's Brothers with different lyrics." Last time I don't give a Brand New song one whole listen. These guys haven't ever created anything short of brilliant.
I’m here after so long just reminiscing of just being a young teenager and the song just hits the same as the last time I heard it
haven't heard this song in 4 years. goosebumps and teary eyes through it all.
Ive been lucky to have been able to get tickets to three of their shows.
The second show they played this song and I literally cried.
I'm a sensitive fuck but I'm not a cryer.
I always come back to this song 🖤♥️
This song reminds me of the nights I would spend, up late driving around the summer my best friend died street racing in 2011.... so beautiful and nostalgic. Just speaks to me on so many levels
sorry to hear about your friend, I'm sure they would be glad to know they are not forgotten. I hope you have been well since those six years since you commented this.
@@tacticialpanda7 Hey Tanner. I'm actually doing pretty good. His father has since committed suicide last year, leaving just his mom and sister. We knew he was sad, but he kept a cheerful spirit and didn't let anyone know it was coming. The truth is. Life is good. We must wake up every day ready to greet it with a swift and divine temper. Seize the day, live life to its fullest. And remember that life is linear, without chapters. I have become happy with who I am, and try to enjoy every day I have.
Still love this damn song though.
@@JB-yj9gb very good advice, I’ve actually been struggling somewhat lately, so I don’t take those words lightly. from one internet stranger to another, keep it up. life is short, lets not let it get any shorter. long live Brand New.
Just checking in guys… so many good songs but this really gets my soul every time
Still sobbing well over a decade later
Guys. Don't worry about illegally downloading Brand New. Jesse loves it. He said it himself. He wants us to download his stuff.
I remember the day that i got this single in the mail........maybe i thought it was the best song i'd ever heard....
I sing it to myself sometimes.
And it makes sense things turned out like they did...........I really did love them a lot though...
With blood and feathers
On my dumb paws,
You ain't nothing but a dead duck
I ain't nothing but a hound dog
You seep in the windows and vents
And I lay in the grass and I lose your scent.
Well if God gave me grace then why aren't I graceful?
My joints are froze and cold and old and idle
If it's by air, I don't wanna know .
If we all don't take cover,
We're all gonna fall back in love again
You work late to fight off your pulse
The patient dies, you take the night off.
Well they worked out all of the bugs
Cuz if you have enough money, you can buy love
You work out the deceptions leading
I'll sing sing sing, these 10 Lords still leaping -
The mark on your breast from your baby teething
Give him my name if he is needing.
If its by sea, I don't wanna know.
If we all don't take cover, we're all gonna fall back in love again.
Bless your beautiful hide.
And curse your God when your friends die.
If it's by air I don't wanna know
If we all don't take cover
We're all gonna fall back in love again.
You work late to fight off your pulse
The patient dies, you take the night off.
this song is so incredibly beautiful.
Pretty sure this is my favorite band of all time sucks thst we won't get any new albums
Why isnt this on spotify
I thought this was a new song, but it sounds just like brothers & has different lyrics, I dig the lyrics in both songs. Brand New is one of the few bands aside from, Manchester Orchestra, Bad Books, Kevin Devine and the front bottoms that never disappoint me. They always deliver
Nicole Falvey Brand New and Manchester Orchestra just played together last night!
believe it or this song was brothers. it just got changed. look up Untitled 2 or Untitled 3. can't remember but the whole cd is a demo cd that got scrapped due to a leak and replaced with The Devil and God
no description available is right.
the riff for the is absolutely beautiful in my ears, jesse lacey is my love when it comes to music
This song is just so amazing.
brothers and coca cola are both awesome in their own ways, but both are pretty lyrically amazing
"Bless your beautiful heart. Curse your God when you friend die" rip paul
i remember this being one of the first brand new songs i had ever heard. i even had it as my #1 on my myspace playlist years ago
Brooke out here 10 years ago bringing up MySpace and making me happy sad 21 years later since MySpace launched.
I like both versions of this song equally. Maybe the other one slightly more because it didn't make me falsely state my genitalia preference...
I honestly don't know where these guys went. I miss their music so much and listening to these demos make me even more upset.
Noah white They're kinda touring right now. And I heard maybe working on another album. I really hope that's true.
I was able to get tickets to three of their concerts, during the mid 2000's you know how hard that was. Two cell phones and trying to connect via dial up internet. My second to last concert they plaid this song. Small venue in Portland Oregon. My last concert was the worst concert they've ever played that I've been to. The Moda center with modest mouse.
My favorite show was Brand New with Joyce Manor
best version of this song.
Oh it’s just so beautiful.
I fall asleep to this almost every night.
Best times of my life trace back to this song
Fuck I cant wait til they come back to pittsburgh
Id give just so much freaking much to see em live. IM WAITING FOR THEM TO COME TO EUROPE.
absolutely beautiful
Just start using torrents. There is torrents with every show Brand New played that was recorded and every little acoustic thing Jesse ever did. But of course, it is always better to pay for Brand New. Brand New's stuff is actually worth a lot of money to me, but torrents help me get hidden treasures from them that are scattered around the weird place that is the Internet.
It's from the "Sowing Season" single. It came with preorders of The Devil and God.
Hmm, i think i definitely prefer the "Brother" lyrics, to this song.
Rosehawka although they both have a very similar sound guitar wise, I feel like this is a completely different song to brothers. The topic is totally different and the feeling is completely different. Which makes me love both so very much.
this song is beautiful. I love the lyrics...i love all of jesse lacey's lyrics. Yes, this is the same as untitled 3 (brothers) just different lyrics, both are amazing. I absolutely love brand new.
"bless your be"autiful eyes. curse your god when your friends die"
this song is painfully good
The world isn't the same without Jesse Lacey making music for it.
@@accidiaet massively overblown, but that's what "soft as baby shit" modern society likes to do now.
@@accidiaetSorry, I didn't realize you were one of the smooth brains.
Some people are just too stupid to apply context to situations, so they just join the virtue signal train to show how "good" they are, but it really just shows us who the retarded drones are.
Woah I have never heard this. Def like it better than the lying like lions line
Such a good song....
Science fiction was an instant classic
I love Brand New
@frederickdustyhornjr ... I'm talking about buying it. Like downloading it from iTunes or Amazon.. I remember I checked a bunch of different places and I couldn't ever find it lol I don't know if that's changed since the last time I was looking for it. I would go buy like a hard copy of it but every store around where I live doesn't sell Brand New for some reason and there's no way I wouldn't pay for Brand New lol
@teamNATALIE96 seriously! this is one of my top favorite brand new songs. it's been 3 years that i've known it, buti appreciate the lyrics more and more every time i listen to it still :)
So this got turned into Brother's Song?
I believe this was written first then was leaked... then Jesse re purposed it, changed the lyrics and released it but later re recorded brothers song with the original lyrics
Yeah, it fucked me up when they released it that way a while back. I was so confused. Not to mention, in my opinion, this is still the best version. The reverb is so hauntingly sad.
Reed Lobbestael I heard that Jesse went in the studio to record brothers, but he started playing the chords softer and slower and he thought it sounded really good and different so he just decided to write some new lyrics for the softer version too
Haunting and beautiful. Still, I think I like Brothers more...
When I need inspiration I turn to this
@frederickdustyhornjr The song wasn't released on an album. I believe the only way to get a hard copy is to guy the "Sowing Season" single, and this is a B-side. Not positive though, that's just what it says on Wikipedia.
YEAH I WAS JUST THINKING THIS. How do I not have this on my ipod already
it is on their Sowing Season Single CD
this was released as a free download for street team members on the brand new site years ago, not sure if it was a b side to anything it might have been
OMG! I can't find this song anywhere and it's my favorite :( Do you know where I could download it?
This version is good but it's very different from the Untitled version, which I happen to prefer better. I thought that was the best Untitled song released...most of that stuff stayed unreleased for a reason! But the song about going to war was more with the times when it was leaked.
there is a promo CD/single release of Sowing Season, and this song is the b-side. Buy that shit on eBay!
This song is on the "fight off your demons" demo album :D
What album is it on?!
He has! Check out the Fight Off Your Demons demo
@envilol That's actually the title though, it's supposed to be Coca-Cola backwards, it's not because of copyright restrictions.
the name of this song in reverse is Coca Cola, Coca cola is how we call Coke in Brazil.
Yeah okay, I'm not crying, you're crying.
Currently drink Coke while listening to this lol
❤
Who's Brothers?.. Doesn't get better than Brand New
exactly....what a surprise.
Same here, more raw and I think the lyrics were slightly better.
HOW THE HELL HAVE I NEVER HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE????????
ESTA EL OK?
caramba, eu só pesquiseo coca-cola de trás para frente e aparece a musica dos gringos, GameI B)
brand new we need you
its May 4th. 700am I havent slept. I am smitten with a girl, call her Shhh. Shhh is fucking amazing and what happened was not my plan. Severely depressed and suffering from PTSD, I medicate the best I can. I have had many successes but for the past two years, I havent done a god damned thing. I gave up on myself and love.
Then I met Shhh. And im posting this here because when ever i think of us I think of 'If we all don't take cover
We're all gonna fall back in love again'
Todays kinda important. Shhh has been dealing with some personal issues and now I have questions about her commitment to this thing we're doing... so guess what i fucking did... goddamned right I wrote a 5 page text at 2am and sent that shit telling her I am 100% in but its not me I have questions about... so she got an ultimatum. I will see her in 2 hours and 20 minutes.
The zig in my zag of life might not love me. And that really fucking sucks because, she is amazing and Im better with her next to me.
Wish me fucking luck.
This my sleep song
@MrDfresh35 It was the Sowing Season b-side.
Isn't this called Brothers?
Amazing.
hound dog sounds like elvis...madonna has surpassed HIm in great britain...we are listening to great britains tongue and also some BRAND NEW...so in the news or even potentially...poor LOURDES...shes scoreed SEAN PENN and maybe GUY RICHIE as daddies...and thats pretty super Lucky.
NUEVO HAITER MASTER
Someone stole my t-shirt, brand new one is Ekoc.
Sowing Season EP, homie.
Well this is just coco cola backwards lol
@starwarsexpert38 nah, brothers is the name of untitled #3. sounds similar though.
wow. "no description available" indeed.
I just realized that this is the finished version of Untitled 3.
On their lyrics page it didn't even say aloc acoc. it said coca cola.
Definitely more raw. The guitar here is a bit weird...too quiet. I liked it acoustic and the lyrics in Brother were much better I thought. Still, this is an amazing song.
What if Jesse told you not to?
if you have a Mac, you can rip the audio from any youtube video...
Sounds like coca cola backwards
Why is this song called coca cola backwards
Aloc Acoc= Coca Cola
The title is "Coca Cola", but reversed.
Upside-down title
Coca cola
Alguém já percebeu que o nome da musica é coca cola ao contrario
different songs, 2 parts.
keep uploading
I don't seek this out often. but when I do it hits me like a ton of bricks.
What a song.
stop living my life!
It usually just appears in my recommended past 12 am
