lyrics

I can be your brother
Help you to hide
I can blow your cover
Pull the thorns from your side

I can be your astronaut
If you want some space
Or I can hold mirrors
Right in your face

I can be the father
That you never had
Heaviest for what's harder
And nearest for what's far (????)

I can be your astronaut
If you want some space
Or I can hold mirrors
Right in your face

I can be the mother
That sings you to sleep
And loves you like no other
Be the tears you can't weep

I can be your astronaut
If you want some space
Or I can hold mirrors
Right in your face
Right in your
Right in your
I can hold mirrors

I really like the song, even if I'm not that crazy about all the brother/father/mother thing.

Anyway, it also seems that he's playing around with the song... The video Marti posted was the first time he played it, in Zafferana, then he played a slower version in Caserta, a guitar version in the Instagram streaming, and now it looks like he just played an a cappella version in Ostia Antica.
I hope videos surface of all those versions!

Yes great song and very nice version in Ostia Antica !

As I hear the last lines of the third verse, he sings:
Have ease for what’s harder
And ears for what’s sad.

played again yesterday in Cap Roig, this time with a bit of intro about the song and whats about


"a song about the beauty of friendship and how unconditional and undemanding in some ways and really pure and beautiful friendship can be" <3

Odd to hear these reactions since, for me, those verses are easily the best written lyrics. Conversely, I really do not like the chorus at all. Too similar to a much greater song that he's already written. Too repetitious and waaaaay too cheezy. The guitar version on the boat was a vast improvement but I can't help feeling he could still do more. "Steal a Mule" was loaded with carefree charm and innocence. This one feels a bit forced.

Another piano version from Caserta:

I really like it. It's a bit on the sweet side but still very nice.
I love that the piano is back and the loop station is gone :D
