Sounds Of Brotherhood

about

When we first got together in 2011 it was to record 2 bonus tracks for the re-release of "Felt" from 1971. As I drug out the old material an started to organize the sessions, all these memories of our younger days came flooding back...And right in the middle of it all was Allen Dalrymple.

I was originally opposed to adding a keyboard, but I really liked it once we started rehearsing. And Allen and I became great friends apart from the band...When I learned he had passed in a car wreck in 1972 I was heart broken. I wrote this as a tribute to our lost "Brother In Arms"

lyrics

SOUNDS OF BROTHERHOOD
By Mychael John Thomas

I didn’t know you were coming
You just showed up one night
And added your part to my songs
I thought were already all just right…
But it changed my life forever
As only friendship can
The music was our bond
Hey it was the 60s man

CHORUS
It was the sounds of brotherhood
We played it loud! It Felt so good
And we’d all bring you back today
If we only could…to hear you play
Your sounds of brotherhood

They labeled us a “hippy band”
But still we carried on
And when our friends went to Vietnam
We honored them in song
We sang about our freedom
And held our freak flags high
‘Cause peace and love were in our hearts
And that will never die

CHORUS SOLO

And we said…One for all and all for one
The night ain’t over till the band gets done
One for all and all for one
We don’t stop playin’ till we’ve had our fun

CHORUS

Yea we were brothers

We miss you Allen : )
