The Preacher's Sermon
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 9-9-25 All Rights Reserved ©


(Verse 1)
Sunday morning light streams through the stained glass windows high
Old wooden pews are creaking as the faithful gather nigh
Bibles rustling, pages turning, whispered prayers fill the air
As we bow our heads in silence, knowing God is always there
The preacher takes his place behind that worn and weathered stand
With calloused heart and gentle voice, he speaks of God's great plan

(Chorus)
In the heart of the sermon, we find our way home
Through the valleys of doubt, we're never alone
His words cut like lightning, they heal like the rain
In the preacher's sermon, we're born again
We're born again

(Verse 2)
He speaks of grace and mercy for the lost and broken soul
Of second chances waiting for the hearts that aren't quite whole
He tells of David's courage and of Job's enduring faith
How love can conquer hatred and how hope can conquer hate
His voice grows strong and steady as he shares the Gospel truth
That salvation's free for all of us, from old age down to youth

(Chorus)
In the heart of the sermon, we find our way home
Through the valleys of doubt, we're never alone
His words cut like lightning, they heal like the rain
In the preacher's sermon, we're born again
We're born again

(Bridge)
Come Monday morning when the world gets hard to bear
When temptation calls my name and I'm struggling with despair
I remember what he told us 'bout the narrow path we walk
How faith can move the mountains and how prayer's our way to talk
To the One who knows our struggles, who sees our every tear
Who whispers in the darkness, "Child, I'm always here"

(Final Chorus)
In the heart of the sermon, we find our way home
Through the valleys of doubt, we're never alone
His words cut like lightning, they heal like the rain
In the preacher's sermon, we're born again
We're born again

(Outro)
Sunday evening shadows fall across the empty pews
But the preacher's sermon lives on in the hearts of me and you
Guiding every step we take until we meet again
In the house of God almighty, where the sermon never ends
Where the sermon never ends

Whether traveling to gigs on horseback or by tour bus, Americana mavens The Brothers Comatose forge their own path with raucous West Coast renderings of traditional bluegrass, country and rock ‘n’ roll music. The five-piece string band is anything but a traditional acoustic outfit with their fierce musicianship and rowdy live shows reminiscent of stadium rock concerts. In fall 2017, “Campfire Caravan” featuring The Brothers Comatose, Mipso, and The Lil Smokies hosts three of today’s foremost emerging indie Americana bands as they trek across the United States to more than 30 cities. “Campfire Caravan” honors the musicians’ early days playing music, when they’d perform for friends and family in basements, living rooms, and around campfires. “Campfire Caravan” celebrates the American tradition of gathering communities around music.

Following three critically acclaimed full-length studio albums (Songs From The Stoop, Respect The Van, City Painted Gold), the five-piece string band disrupts the traditional album cycle and focuses their 2017/2018 release schedule on a series of strategically released songs. On Sept. 8, 2017, The Brothers Comatose releases a sun-soaked new single “Don’t Make Me Get Up And Go” produced by indie-rock legend John Vanderslice. Channeling harmony vanguards The Beach Boys, “Don’t Make Me Get Up And Go” is a nod to the delicate dance between two friends and trusting fate to either bring them romantically together or not. With lyrics written by the band’s tour manager Joe Pacini, lead singer Ben Morrison lends his crooning baritone to the fast-paced, feel good song.

“Going into the studio with Vanderslice was all about capturing the moment on analog tape,” says Ben. “We set out to record in a way we’ve never previously attempted. We did it live with all of us playing in the same room as if we were performing on stage. Vanderslice really understood the sonic landscape we were going for. He’s really a super producer, being a musician who has cut a lot of records of his own and produced albums by many great artists.”

The Brothers Comatose entered Vanderslice’s Tiny Telephone (San Francisco) studio with drafts of “Don’t Make Me Get Up And Go.” After working out the verses and chorus in the studio, bassist Gio Benedetti came up with the three-part harmony bridge. Vanderslice had the trio of Ben, his brother Alex Morrison, and Gio, head into the studio’s echo chamber with its five-second delay, and the boys did what they do best. They sang their hearts out, and the result is sublime.

The Brothers Comatose is comprised of brothers Ben Morrison (guitar, vocals) and Alex Morrison (banjo, vocals), Gio Benedetti (bass, vocals), Philip Brezina (violin), and Ryan Avellone (mandolin). When they’re not headlining The Fillmore for a sold-out show or appearing at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, the band is out on the road performing across America, Canada, Australia, and hosting their very own music festival, Comatopia. In 2018, The Brothers Comatose will travel to Asia for a month of cultural music exchange and education with American Music Abroad, a program directed by the State Department.
