Brother Wind -- Tim O'Brien with Darrell Scott

[@lauracleveland4017]

There are nights like this when only Tim will do

[@cubedude99]

I can play this every day and every day I stop what I'm doing to listen. It clears all the junk and noise out of my head. Unbelievably clean, expressive, lyrical, lonesome, unforced. Superb. Thank god for Tim and Darrell. Great production by BBC. Long Time Gone ...Keep You Lamp Trimmed and Burning ... These guys are great American poets. We all need something to shoot for.

[@yaisum]

I'm not sure music gets any better than this. Equal maybe, but not better. Simply awesome

[@ja1207]

Mikolas Josef brought me here... it is indeed a good song...

[@johng92]

I had the privilege of meeting Darrel Scott at a festival we both got to play at and I couldn’t help but let him know that he and Tim O’Brien changed my life. It’s some of the most amazing music.

[@michaelelliott3209]

Mr. O'Brien catches the lonesome in a drifter's soul in this song from the CD, "Rock In My Shoes." He's been a sweet blessing to this world.

[@bwilley1]

The most talented guys in Nashville. All "triple threats." All can write, play and sing. I love this town...

[@bren69]

This song haunts me bones so sweetly. Love

[@marcusmccallen7522]

I used to sing this song at every gig, without fail. Hearing it the first time, it was as though Tim had written it about my life. Now I am again reminded of it's great tenderness. Back out to the front burner it goes. A blessing in song. Thanks boys!

[@yaisum]

his voice is absolutely beautiful. He's a great player of course, but what a singer! heartbreakingly good.

[@Utoober67]

I want to sing with this circle of such beautiful souls.

[@MandolinTory]

This song always blows me away. God damn Tim O brien is AMAZING

[@kelseycurtis1546]

God's name is not a cuss word.

[@CarolRowe1010]

Fills my heart and feeds my soul! I picture his painting in my mind.

[@woodsheddin]

Tim O'Brien and Darrell Scott are more powerful as a combo than any other duo of musicians I've ever heard. When backed by musicians of like quality such as this, it only makes them all that much better.

[@bluegrasslovely]

got the chance to see Tim O'Brien play this year in a tiny venue in Camden town London. He was breathtaking. He's been my first official experience of a major bluegrass artist live, and it was so powerful it brought me to tears. He has the most beautiful voice, and he's a truly talented musician ( he played the banjo, mandolin, violin and guitar that night). And to round it all off, he's the nicest guy ever, he sung my request, had a chat with us, and gave my sister a hug : incredible !

[@menatol]

first time i have heard this song, what a great song, i will definetly look out for his stuff....awesome.....from a guy who listens to metal music....

[@songsbygreg]

I thought I had already heard all of the best traveling songs out there. Add this one to the list! Another great song by Tim with Darrell.

[@devodavis6454]

It's up there in the loneliness song category, too.

[@develx6819]

please do guy-girl voices...so beautifull

[@emilywright3652]

This is the most beautiful music for fall in the North Carolina mountains.

[@montycraig5659]

Absolutely love this song! It has everything, and the players are unbelievable!!

[@5150teacher]

I love getting in the wind on my bike, hauling ass down the road, hair in the wind, listening to this amazing artist... Riding through the country, burning up the miles puts me in a good place... Thanks Tim!!!

[@marcelomoreira3044]

Wow ...that make me cry.its a great song. I loved

[@plethoraofpinatas.]

still hits me like it did a decade ago.

[@JimmyO419]

You gentlemen are are an amazing group of angelic intergalactic juggernauts of musical excellence. I love and appreciate everything you all have done. Thank you south for all the hope, love, and inspiration. I don't know if any of your group looks at this, but of anybody gets this. You guys changed the lives of a big group suburban kids lives. For my friends and myself, thank you. Jimmy O. and al the good people you have touched.

[@TheMindOrchestra]

Nothing short of pure magic. A performance of incredible beauty and deserved reverence from musicians and appreciators of all kinds. Be any one of these musicians and play like like this and you have found the pot of gold 🌈

[@MrMusicguyma]

This is exceptional, inspiring music, played by great musicians. If the public had enough soul, this would be popular music. Unfortunately the great majority of the public prefer to be spoon fed pabulum. Ah well. I get to enjoy it anyhow ;)

[@sofrag52]

Saw them a couple years ago. They were breathtaking.

[@angryoharas]

MrMusicguyma right on

[@jacquesblaque7728]

+MrMusicguyma I'm regularly encouraged by music-lovers I meet & swap stories with, about TAS. We're out there. Tim O'Brien is a super-star to us. Check out Hot Rize.

[@MrMusicguyma]

TAS is the best. Oh Yeah, as a bluegrass /Celtic/blues/Cajun /rockabilly /roots/etc., player and singer myself, I have followed Hot Rize from the beginning, (I'm old) ;)

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Jesus, quit whining, and enjoy it without denigrating others.

[@JamesScottGuitar]

Powerful stuff, right here.

[@CGiordano464]

i love at how like 1:15 everyone harmonizes and how Darrel's eyes open up. so damn cool! wish i cud be jamming with these guys

[@pdl4a]

it was this video (and the Hector The Hero rendition by Jenna Reid and the Julie Fowlis footage) that made me go and harass a little record shop over here in faraway Belgium to order this DVD for me, and after a very long 2 month wait I finally got hold of them... thank you so much for posting this music and keep up your good work!

[@ericlong9085]

Beautiful song

[@WalterCrockett]

Saw him play this last night with Jan in Cambridge. I had never heard it before. His guitar is so rich on this. A gorgeous song.

[@tlhagerty2733]

This is perfect music.

[@seththompson1584]

😮😮😮 wow cool song i love tim o'brien

[@jeffreymedlicott437]

Made up my mind to go Some place so far away, I headed west Without a sad goodbye No hugs or tears that way, it's probably for the best Sent cards along the way Said I was looking for a brand new life I never settled down My wanderlust would always cut the ties like a knife Sometimes the lonesome wind Calls out just like it knows me And on a night like this When I don't know where to go, he shows me the way He knows me, my brother wind He's lonely too and he takes me away I always looked ahead I was so afraid that I'd be caught behind Followed a crooked stream To places I'd never seen and one more highway sign Just like some other guys I count the hours 'til the day will end But it's not so I can rest For me it's the time that's best for talking to my friend Cause he knows me, my brother wind He's lonely too and he takes me away Now half my life is gone The only home I have is open road My skin is cracked and brown A mirror to the dessert ground and the dusty wind that blows I never made a mark Just scattered footsteps on the shifting sand Whatever pushes me It's something only he can understand He knows me, my brother wind He's lonely too and he takes me away Songwriters O'BRIEN, TIMOTHY PAGE Published by Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group Read more: Tim O'Brien - Brother Wind Lyrics | MetroLyrics

[@perekelund7312]

This song is absolutely incredible!

[@maryscott6506]

Fantastic! Beautiful, touching. Wonderful talent that makes me feel so lucky that I can hear.

[@vinniemoran7362]

Listening to this for the first time since I watched "Hell or High Water". Both works of art, things of beauty.

[@Comiskey49]

Just brilliant

[@Utoober67]

Music! Such beautiful, sweet, REAL music!

[@1garoutte]

Tim and Darrell's singing on this piece leaves goose bumps!

[@ellezeebub]

He is awesome. I shook his hand at the Kate Wolf Folk Festival a couple years ago ... he was riding a bike around and catching the music. I just about died though cuz I'm such a fan. He was really gracious.

[@robhamilton5570]

Me too... talked a bit while he was getting his instuments out and acclimated under a big ol tree at the Arlo Hagler Memorial stage...GREAT show!!! I guess it was 2002 or 3?? I know he was there with a hot group of very young players he put together it was "The Traveler" release time I believe....

[@katherinegoard5942]

One of my favorite songs.. determined to learn it!!

[@katherinegoard5942]

Simply amazing!! Gives me chills every time I hear it! (And I listen to it a lot!)

[@bluegrasslovely]

you really have to be on the look out : I'm a big fan of Tim O'Brien and was lucky enough to notice he was playing in london in feb this year. I went to see him in this tiny venue in camden for an evening of solo performance, and even had the chance to chat with him. He was amazing, an experience I'll never forget. So being in the UK doesn't mean you have to miss out !

[@carolrussell9300]

Touches the soul.... thank you

[@peterguit]

I forget to mention; a great singer. My favorite!

[@Herdalum86]

Loved this song performed with the Wheeling Symphony during "Celebrate America" in Clarksburg, WV on July 3, 2018. Enjoyed listening here again!

[@vincentdorrington9312]

Tim's intonation matches the melancholy of the lyrics - superb.

[@patchuss]

Saw Tim in london last month. great as usual. I love his music. Cant wait to the next time.

[@mythsay66]

I agree and need to get myself to your beautiful town.

[@mikejules]

Just the best!! Say no more!!

[@slothbros7607]

My heart- this is so beautiful.

[@meandmybrother4101]

one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard

[@katherinegoard5942]

Just so ya know.. I learned it! and so did my husband.. and he's got one great voice for this type of music! One of these days I'll post one... ;)

[@glennrodger5675]

beautiful

[@jodyalden2045]

Beautiful song.

[@gail53]

So much talent in one place, just takes my breath away!!

[@morbanjo2503]

Cool, Darrel's playing mandolin with a capo. Now I feel OK about doin' that!

[@KasperViggoJensen]

Why wouldn't you? :)

[@angelagott6577]

lol, Very nicely done, Transatlantic Bands. Thank-you kindly for sharing with fans from the USA. God Bless you and yours as well.

[@davidgidman7561]

That's one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard. A bikers anthem if ever there was one.

[@wuffpaw]

thank you tim. thank you thank you thank you! you sing right into our hearts

[@bluegrasslovely]

just thought I'd let you know, Tim O'Brien is playing in the UK in November. He's doing 2 gigs in London and you can get your tickets online. It's quite cheap and it's definitely worth it, so check it out ...

[@Aka60thChip]

Such a nicer version than there memories and moments album, in don’t get choked up easily but this is one song that always does it fir me

[@RyanKeithLever]

Still so good

[@wadokaratepromotionsociety1450]

They make perfection seem so eassy...absolutly mavelous stuff......brilliant wonderful muicians..thank you so very much for posting htis...

[@potatoehead54]

gorgeous as always

[@Utoober67]

It was following my introduction to Darrell Scott's music that I subsequently discovered Tim O'Brien, (and Paul Brady). These guys are what is best in music. Know your instrument(s), play and sing with passion and pride. What price a ticket to Scott/O'Brien/Brady/Molsky? I'm sooo there.

[@qrptedmac]

Wow what a great song. I just ordered the Transatlantic sessions vol 1 CD. Cant wait till it gets here.

[@qrptedmac]

I bought the cd this tune is on. Though I had to get through the music of scotland. This cd isnt sold here in the USA. Tim seems to tour alot in europe. I really dig he and darrell scott.

[@adamstewart481]

Amazing song!

[@JohnBrown-dh5kn]

Love everything i've heard on Transatlantic Sessions a very proud Scot

[@ErinScope]

Fantastic musician . Just caught him live as part of Transatlantic Sessions in Derry 19'. Interesting to hear his granny is from close to Letterkenny, where we came in from . Respect .

[@cheesusfreak]

Simply amazing...

[@flightplan1000]

nice song, good singing...

[@allinacan]

so relaxing, wonderfully beautiful

[@Zappaiti]

Stunning!

[@meandmybrother4101]

wonderful!

[@JJG1952]

absolutely, just .... great !!

[@potatoehead54]

you r exactly ryt u cnt beat the best musicians playin 2gether.... ever

[@bluegrasslovely]

Yep ! I wouldn't miss it ! I just wish other bluegrass artists would come over to the UK and play such intimate gigs at such affordable prices ...

[@tomtscotland]

Saw them performing yesrterday in Royal Concert Hall (Glasgow Scotland). You are in for a treat!

[@09nob]

I heard them play this live in London, what a fucking tune.

[@thewannabesongwriter681]

Love it!

[@petermatthew123]

Great music! This series 'Transatlantic Sessions' was iconic!

[@menatol]

thats great thanks alot mate, much appriatated...enjoy the gig....

[@bluegrasslovely]

he's a brilliant musician and singer, and he's also got a great sense of humour, as you say. I saw him live in feb this year and he was such a nice guy, he always had something funny to say between songs, not stupid mind you, but genuinely smart as well as hilarious. I would recommend seeing him live to everyone ! Soo talented... I'm sure I've seen a KZbin video were he's being funny. His commentary of Nickel Creek on Bluegrassjourney is a good reflection of his general attitude though.

[@hatcherluke]

Just a note that this song will be on Darrell and Tim's new CD and they're doing a Kickstarter drive to help with production and promotion costs. Just search for "Memories & Moments" on Kickstarter and you should find it. It's fully funded, but you can get the album a bit early if you join in the next few days. Full disclosure: I'm a backer of the Kickstarter project but not affiliated with the guys and have nothing to gain from this, just spreading the word to fellow fans.

[@JonathanPolson]

Very true!

[@oldwest517]

Even better than the album version, which I wouldn't have thought possible.

[@hairyhands35]

awesome - just ordered the cd

[@patchuss]

Fantastic about sums it up.

[@katherinegoard5942]

Tricky little song to learn! lots of changes and close ones too! BUT I have NOT given up and never will. Hubby has it down pat.. but me, well..I'm a bit slower on the uptake since neither of us read music!

[@ChrisJones-xl1sl]

It's a lot easier if you capo the 5th fret ;)

[@wuffpaw]

@martin081980 This song is in F. Basically Bb-Dm-C, Chorus is Bb-F-Bb-F-Dm-C-Bb. I can't figure out the time for the life of me, though, it's one of those weird splits that Tim is so fond of and that always drive me nuts trying to count! What a gorgeous song.

[@cainamaniac1]

This has been My Theme Song.

[@MrRazorblade999]

The lyrics pretty much sums up my life.

[@menatol]

thanks a lot mate cheers for keeping me posted...must appreciated....i assume your going..

[@sonjawhite5815]

We are the forlorn hope

[@passinItOn]

Reminds me of Ram Dass: Fierce Grace for some reason...Tim is the Man.

[@graciemuldoon]

oh garsh.. who doesnt love these to BG heroes??!!!

[@jaydubthedrummer]

They put out an album called "Real Time" which I highly suggest to anyone. They set up some recording equipment in the living room and just started jammin in "real time" hence the name. Good stuff/

[@BONESHINE29]

AGREED!!

[@ShorterRussell]

Why even bother listing Jerry as the dobro player? We all know it's him. He's THE dobro player. haha (: Thanks for uploading, it's great.

[@tomtscotland]

Thanks! These guys sure can play - a standad to aspire to! Practice, practice,practice . then practice some mor. Me - I'm off to watch the tell ;-(
