Brothers

In July of 2006, amid the 34-day war between Israel and the terrorist group Hezbollah, Kevin spent a significant amount of time reflecting on the state of the world with his guitar in hand. Out came Brothers, a song that appears as the third track on his 2010 album The Salzburg Revolution. He has received several comments from fans and audience members over the years with whom the song’s message of anti-violence resonates. People have often paralleled the song’s lyrics with historical conflicts in Nazi Germany, the Middle East, and Northern Ireland. And now current news reports of the violence in Syria and the attacks in Uganda on Christmas Day only reinforce the tragic notion that the peace once promised seems so much further than before. Nevertheless, hope remains. Recorded with a raw acoustic, earthy sound, Brothers ends on such a note.
