Matt Corby - Brother (Triple J)

You couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were f*cked up by the blame

Matt tells the story behind this song in the above video. Essentially, inspired by a falling out between a close friend and him.

Lately, I have come to realise that a dear friend, one with a great influence on my life, might be drifting away. Because of certain decisions he is making in his own life. And because when we were friends, I never really had the guts to tell him about the weaknesses I saw in his life.

It’s heartbreaking. And a lesson I’m slowly grasping. That I do not want to live in a world where people cannot tell me I’m wrong. Or where I will not listen to others who dare to put their heart on the line, and tell me something’s amiss.

May I learn to speak out with courage and love. And receive instruction that strengthens bonds, not frays them.
