	This song really, really reminds me of The Godfather Part II.

No Picture dylan Average	#2 by dylan markus at Oct 1, 2007 at 5:33 PM EST
	i just watched the video for this song, and i gotta say, while i love the song, it wasn' t my favorite, but after the video, it's definitely number 2.....i'd give it number 1, but i just fucking love The Big Sleep to much

No Picture Josh Average	#3 by Josh at Oct 4, 2007 at 5:52 AM EST

No Picture Dale :D Average	#4 by Dale :D O' Mondo Of DOOM!!! at Oct 6, 2007 at 8:58 AM EST
	This song reminds me of me and my brother and how i'd never give him up to cops no matter what he's done. That blood brother connection is real damn strong.

No Picture Shreder Dude Wanna Be	#6 by Shreder Dude at Oct 12, 2007 at 3:23 AM EST
	i hear that. and that's exactly what it's about. despite the brother's predicaments, the "good" brother won't give him up. good song.

No Picture Ashley Rhythm Player	#7 by Ashley 666 at Oct 17, 2007 at 9:18 PM EST
	From the site: "Brother is pretty straight forward. Its a song about two brothers who are very different but respect and love each other nonetheless. One of them is constantly in trouble with the law and the other feels an obligation towards respecting his brothers choice of his life. The lyrics really say it all, with the crux of the song being the line 'i know there's better brothers but you're the only one that's mine'. A bondsman comes looking for the troublesome hermano and thinks that the narrator is going to give in and tell him his location, but the narrator instead decides to stay true to his family rather than the law. the lyrics go 'so he's [the bondsman] standin' in the doorway like he owns the place with a look of smug satisfaction on his face... im gonna give you up, of that he's sure as hell, but i take one look at him and i know i'll never tell.'"
