Brassland is an artist-operated label started in 2001 by writer Alec Hanley Bemis and twin brothers/musicians Aaron Dessner and Bryce Dessner, both best known from their work with The National. We encourage collaboration and creation among an evolving assortment of creative folks.
Music is our current focus. We like music that transcends genre. At the same time we try not to make transcending genre a cliche by applying labels to what we do: funk-metal, progressive punk, Afro-Cuban jazz, underground hip-hop, intelligent dance music, whateva! We like musicians who play well and possess the elusive tonic of personality. Most of all we just like music.
many years have passed I never get tired of listening to this song. "About today", contained in the "Cherry Three" EP, is the Trojan horse to immerse yourself in listening to The National. "About Today" already contains all of The Alligator, the musical touch of the band, the spiritual one, the restlessness, the heart.
Sad that this incredible show, this song, only has several views and comments. We happened to be at there and it was exactly how it looks and sounds.. just how I'd choose to spend an evening.
It's sad more people can't enjoy the whole thing, but there's magic in the transient, there's meaning in the "get it while it's hot" aspect of life. Little pockets of supernatural beauty pop up all over the planet constantly and almost all of them never get documented or shared with the masses. I agree fully with you but I also sort of love that precious rarity of moments like this because it dials-in the humanity for me. We're temporary, we're only here a little while. In a thousand years if humans play music, they will have little private gems like this, too. <3
Kate what have you done to me,I love you Sister,know your married but just want to be friends,I can't sleep can't stop listening to your music.witch he he .come soon with your family gypsy wife.Uppingham in Rutland.Duncan1 DJWC

And so the outside, it bashes us in Bashes us about a bit Feel it tugging you, ploughing you flat Then feel it filling your sails And warm on your back Oooh And blessed are those who see and are silent And blessed are those who see and are silent And blessed are those who see and are silent Blessed are those who see So won't you hoist up the bucket now, Charlie? Hoosh it all over the dead Cause we've been getting most mightily filthy Mud marks up to our necks Oooh And they did unfold and the wind it did feel them And they did unfold and the wind it did feel them And they did unfold and the wind it did feel them And they did unfold and the wind And so the outside, it bashes us in Bashes us about a bit Feel it tugging you, ploughing you flat Then feel it filling your sails And warm on your back
And if you follow me, son The wind'll wrap around you Carry you from the ground You will never be alone Your weight will turn to sunlight That's falling on a girl Who's still outside the world She's reading books from empty women They're giving beauty tips from empty hips And how is the water of the rain? And how is the air of the wind? And how are the arms of your mother? She's holding you in Watch them as they try to fly their kites inside their bedrooms That were only built for drinking Your thoughts, they never lasted long when you were under the sky Above it you can hold a thought forever And how is the water of the rain? And how is the air of the wind? And how are the arms of your mother? She's holding you in And how is the water of the rain? And how is the air of the wind? And how are the arms of your mother? She's holding you in She's holding you in (hey, hey, hey) She's holding you in (hey, hey, hey)
Almost 5 months since my father passed.. this song brings me back to that 2 month time of him getting severely ill and a cancer diagnosis and passing within a week after they estimated 4 to 6 months.. this song is beautiful and makes me ball instantly. It describes the situation perfectly.. I miss you dad.❤
Yes. My father passed away 2 weeks ago after a 45 day battle in the hospitals and deciding to let go. We sat with him as he drifted away. This song showed up in my Facebook feed that same day, I had never heard it before
this was the last song my family dog heard before he was put down. played it for him and sang along. he always loved when I would sing for him... miss you so much bailey
