Ode To My Brother
Ode to my brother is a powerful and emotionally heartfelt song. Highlighting intense personal events on a taboo subject that is often shunned by society. Too many people are suffering in silence often leading to an act of desperation that could be prevented.
You made your bed that you must lie in No matter the discomfort you will Ignoring all the signs with a strong heart But hadn’t you heard that love can kill Your shadow will follow you till your last day And then it’ll never leave the ones you love But no one said your end would be easy Like no one said your life should be so tough Your heart is the only clock that tells the right time And it’ll give you all the time that you need Don’t you fear for the the end my little brother Sometimes life’s a prison until you’re freed Yeah sometimes life’s a prison until you’re freed I remember that day I awoke to a message I rose from my bed some time in the afternoon No I’ll never forget those few words Call me son really soon Yeah call me son really soon Three times I’d tried to talk you round for hours And I’d hoped that you’d of seen all of the special things But even though in my heart I knew it was coming Now each time I close my I see you swing Now each time I close my I see you swing Your heart is the only clock that tells the right time And it’ll give you all the time that you need Don’t you fear for the end my little brother Sometimes life’s a prison until you’re free Yeah sometimes life’s a prison until you’re free
Biography
Shackle Free is a band unshackled. The name refers to its unbound attitude of freedom from a servitude to conformity. Formed in London, Ant Blackbones was joined by James Le Huray (Producer & Bass), Simon Mouchard (Rhythm & Lead Gtr), Peter McNamara (Violin) and Raoul Khayat (Drums) to record their first album as a band, Happily Unhinged.
Shackle Free’s sound is an unusual fusion of psychedelic folk rock, with a carnival atmosphere and punk attitude. There’s nothing obvious about their style, it’s unlike anything else. But it has aspects and glimmers of similarities here and there to Tom Waits, Patti Smith, Steve Harley and the Cockney Rebel, and songs from the musical Oliver Twist.
The songs are stories told by lyrical poetry, projecting paintings in the mind of musical landscapes. Songs about emerging from darkness into the light, taboo subjects, poverty, the shadow self, outsider alienation in society, addiction, madness, suicide, violence and abuse, love and the strength to overcome adversity and shine. Transcendence.
