St Paul and the Broken Bones

Hold On

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
The world is burning down outside
But here we don't have to hide
Just sit with me a while, just sit with me a while
The television lies again
They're selling fear to desperate men
Just sit with me a while, just sit with me a while

[Verse 2]
They march us into lines and rows
Where it ends nobody knows
Just sit with me a while, just sit with me a while
The poison's in the air we breathe
But you don't have to leave
Just sit with me a while, just sit with me a while

[Chorus]
We don't need their war
We don't need their war
We don't need their war no more
Just sit with me

[Verse 3]
You're tired from the fight
You've been running through the night
Just sit with me a while, just sit with me a while
The system wants your mind
But here's a place they'll never find
Just sit with me a while, just sit with me a while

[Chorus]
We don't need their war
We don't need their war
We don't need their war no more
Just sit with me

[Bridge]
No puppets, no strings
No manufactured things
No voices telling you what to be
No masters, no slaves
No digging our own graves
Right here we can be free

[Verse 4]
The end is coming soon they say
But we've got now, we've got today
Just sit with me a while, just sit with me a while
Before the darkness takes its toll
Let me see your weary soul
Just sit with me a while, just sit with me a while

[Chorus]
We don't need their war
We don't need their war
We don't need their war no more
Just sit with me

Sit with me

A tight ensemble with electrifying soul sound, Alabama's St. Paul & the Broken Bones deliver captivating live performances with impassioned vocals, which has garnered an avid following. Founded in Birmingham in 2011, St. Paul & the Broken Bones consists of Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone), and Amari Ansari (saxophone).  

The band made their recording debut in 2014 with Half the City, an album that introduced an ideal recording as a counterpart to their frenetic shows - including the platinum hit “Call Me.” The group has continued to expand their sound with every record, branching out well beyond old-school soul into sleek summertime funk, with a few glimmers of straight-up disco on albums such as 2018's Young Sick Camellia. In 2022, their fine arts-inspired album The Alien Coast incorporated synths, psychedelia, samples, to create an “inventive, exciting, and compelling album that deserves and rewards multiple listens.” - PopMatters.  

St. Paul & The Broken Bones have shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo, The Black Pumas and played renowned festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, Bonnaroo and more. With critical acclaim abounding, they caught the ear of Sir Elton John, and gave a riveting performance at his Oscar party. The band is a sonic powerhouse, delivering a genre-bending convergence of rock & roll, soul, R&B, psychedelia and funk.
