#ThomasBrothers #Together

The Thomas Brothers are kicking off 2020 with a bang!

The band of brothers second full-length album TOGETHER is out now. First performed at New Zealand’s famed Festival One.

Recorded over four years, the album is truly a labour of love and a real family project. As the title suggests, TOGETHER pays homage to all that have played a part in the making of the album, including the boys’ sister Esther Ruth and their dad, who both lend their musical talents to the record. “For us, family is about being real, and so is our music. This album describes what we mean to each other, and the importance of unity. Like we kept saying when recording it, ‘You can go fast alone... or you can go far together!’.”

The Thomas Brothers have been playing music together since before they could walk. With much to say about love, family and togetherness, the four brothers are passionate about getting their message out there.

“We hope TOGETHER makes people feel just that - together. It's really important to us that people everywhere can feel loved and included and part of the family. We really are a band of brothers. Nothing is more important than family.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm 30 seconds in, already I'm burning in
My own mind set, created by what the world said
That I should be, acting like they're over me
Like I'm not good enough to be where I wanna be
I survive at altitude, it would be rude not to pursue my dreams and to live to extremes
It’s not just an attitude or lateral gratitude, it’s a burning pain that never go away until you
Chase and hunt and catch your dreams.
Placed front and center but mentally wrecking me
As I battle every day
Facing all my enemies who take what they want from me
A tangle of wills
The battle to kill
The last man standing laughs candidly till
The battle is won
The last song is sung
The last light shining finds a brighter one

[Chorus]
Don't play around
I'm gonna say it now
Woah
Don't play around
I won’t take it lying down

[Verse 2]
I'm getting mad and angry as I face haters daily
They try ignite and play me but they won't take my pride from me
They throw these lies at me made by society
I'm try'na buy your proprietary, my pride dies inside of me
My time of being young and free’s decidedly done for me.
I'm try'na take these empty years and build something I can be
Proud of in the future so my life had some meaning.
So do your truly worst to me coz soon you'll be screaming

[Chorus]
Don't play around
I'm gonna say it now
Woah
Don't play around
I won’t take it lying down

[Verse 3]
Sweetheart of my dreams, my only ar-mo-ry it seems
You are my queen, my ivory, my bullet-proof an-ti-qui-ty
So please excuse am-bi-gui-ty as I am sending you my plea
To please remember all I've said if ever you feel you’re worried
Or (Woah) overwhelmed or in your head about (ha-ho) something that someone said to you
(Woah) It's true, was always you, I'll never (ha-ho) be me without, you

[Outro]
Woah, ha-ho
Woah, ha-ho
Ho-oh-oh
Ha-ho
Woah, ha-ho
Woah, ha-ho
Woah, ha-ho
Wo-oh-oh
