Comprising vocalist Georgia Nott and her elder multi-instrumentalist brother, Caleb Nott, the pair grew up surrounded by music, having played together since they were children. They were in the Peasants, a band that won a competition for intermediate (junior high) and high school musical acts in 2011. After the Peasants broke up, the siblings formed Broods and connected with producer Joel Little, who had served as a judge during the contest. In October 2013, months after Little gained recognition for his work with another Auckland native, Lorde, Broods uploaded "Bridges" to their SoundCloud page and subsequently signed major-label contracts for various territories. The following January, "Bridges" was released commercially and reached the Top Ten in New Zealand.
A self-titled six-track EP co-written by the Notts and Little, and produced by Little, was issued at the end of the month. Released in the U.S. the following month Broods debuted at number 164 on the Billboard 200. Their debut album, Evergreen, arrived in September 2014, topped the New Zealand chart, and reached number 45 in the U.S.
In April 2016, the duo and Little returned with "Free," the first single from their sophomore album. Their second New Zealand chart-topper, Conscious, arrived in the summer of 2016 and featured the Lorde-penned "Heartlines" and a collaboration with Tove Lo. After dominating the 2016 New Zealand Music Awards, they joined international tours with Two Door Cinema Club and Tove Lo. Before the arrival of album three, Broods joined Flight Facilities for "Stranded," and Whethan on "Be Like You."
In 2018, they issued the singles "Peach" and "Everything Goes (Wow)." Both tracks were featured on their third LP, Don't Feed the Pop Monster, which arrived in February 1, 2019. The duo promoted the effort with an international tour that began in London.

BROODS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Catching stars to keep
Feel my quiver seize
Since we found out that we're invincible
We've been living in a dream world
Since we decided to be infinite
There's no ending and there's no fear
I was filled
You made my bones still
Your eyes well with tears
We're alive, my dear
Since we found out that we're invincible
We've been living in a dream world
Since we decided to be infinite
There's no ending and there's no fear
(No fear, no fear, no fear)
(No, no, no, no, no fear)
We've been weak, we've been down
(No fear, no fear, no fear)
(No, no, no, no, no fear)
Kicked ourselves to the ground
(No fear, no fear, no fear)
(No, no, no, no, no fear)
Only lost to be found
You're my hero now
Since we found out that we're invincible
We've been living in a dream world
Since we decided to be infinite
There's no ending and there's no fear
(No fear, no fear, no fear)
Ahh
(No, no, no, no, no fear)
Ahh
(No fear, no fear, no fear)
(No, no, no, no, no fear)
Ahh
(No fear, no fear, no fear)
(No, no, no, no, no fear)
Ahh
The lyrics to Broods's song "Evergreen" speak of a couple's love and invincibility. The first verse describes the couple lying together wrapped in evergreen, or perhaps simply surrounded by the color green, as they catch stars to keep. The second line, "Feel my quiver seize", suggests that the couple is so deeply in love that they are unable to move, overcome by their emotions. The chorus reveals that the couple has discovered their invincibility, and are now living in a dream world where there is no ending and no fear. The song ends with the couple having been weak and fallen before, but with their newfound invincibility and infinite love, they have overcome their fears and are no longer afraid.
The theme of the song is the resilience of love and the strength it can bring to a relationship. The lyric "Since we found out that we're invincible" suggests that the couple has found a source of strength in their love for each other that they may not have known was there. They are no longer afraid of life's challenges because they have each other. The use of the word "hero" in the last line reinforces this idea of strength and resilience - the couple is able to lift each other up and overcome obstacles together.
Overall, "Evergreen" is a romantic and inspiring song about the power of love to overcome fear and hardship. With its catchy melody and relatable lyrics, it is a popular choice for weddings, romantic moments, and feel-good playlists.

Lay by me, wrapped in evergreen
Stay with me, surrounded by eternal life and renewal
Catching stars to keep
Holding onto moments of happiness and wonder to cherish forever
Feel my quiver seize
Sense the intensity of my emotions that overcome me and leave me speechless
Since we found out that we're invincible
Ever since discovering our strength and resilience to overcome obstacles

We're alive, my dear
We're full of life and love for each other
We've been weak, we've been down
We've experienced moments of vulnerability and defeat
Kicked ourselves to the ground
We caused our own failure and self-doubt
Only lost to be found
We had to suffer loss in order to rediscover ourselves and our strength
You're my hero now
You've become my source of inspiration and admiration
(No fear, no fear, no fear)
We don't let fear control us
(No, no, no, no, no fear)
We won't let anything stop us from achieving our dreams
Ahh
A feeling of release and relief
