"It's such an anthemic song that I can imagine being sung in stadiums by thousands!"
Louis Deacon (Former England Rugby Player)

Lions Roar came from a simple, seemingly insignificant, yet inspired moment on a beach last year with some of my family.

It was Liam's (my Nephew) first time at the seaside. At one years old, he was well used to the safety and familiarity of his enclosures at home and in the garden.

I don't know if you can remember the first time you'd seen the ocean (I certainly don't), but I remember his impressions of it's vast openness. He was cautious, yet in the midst of his family, curious enough to get closer...

I walked him over to the where the waves were crashing down on the shore. Socks and shoes off, feeling the cold water and sand in between his toes, he seemed unsure and a little scared. The waves comparatively large to his small fragile frame, he could barely balance himself.

The wind was blowing and the sea was loud and it looked like he wanted to cry. Then he surprised me..

He let out a loud confident ROAR. I was a little confused at first. But it was profound. It was like he was trying to drown out the noise with his own voice. There was a spirit in his shouting against all that was seemingly against him. It was a beautiful picture of courage even in the most troubled times.

Now, if I wasn't holding him up, or his family weren't close by, or if he was on his own, would he of had such courage? For various reasons there are times when all of us at some time feel alone. We isolate ourselves.

Sometimes we need to remember who we are and that we're in fact not alone. Sometimes it takes a 'roar' to drown out all the lies and rubbish being thrown at you.

We hope you enjoy the song!

Oh So Quiet

With favourable comparisons to the likes of Bear’s Den, Paper Kites, and Mumford & Sons, Speak, Brother have built a reputation for writing songs which speak directly to the heart and encourage vulnerability. It is, after all, what their name wants to inspire: conversation and connection.

Following the launch of their debut album Young & Brave (2018) which took listeners on a journey through life, from the innocence and fearlessness of childhood to the inner and outer struggles that come from growing up — and growing old —, the band have shown an eagerness to evolve without compromising their ability to craft memorable melodies. Brought to life by the stories of struggle and the artworks sent in by fans, their previous release, “Meet Me In The Chaos”, explored how the simple act of sharing our stories helps us meet and connect with each other just as we are.

Speak, Brother are set to return with a new single, “Even Though We Are Strangers”, on September 30th. Taking inspiration from a moment on a mountain during the Three Peak Challenge, which the band took on to raise money for a charity helping orphaned children, this song tells the story of the unexpected discovery of a deep, instinctive bond between humans; a secret fire that burns within us all despite our differences.
