Brant Bjork hails from Palm Desert, California where he began gigging at the age of 13. By high school Brant had begun Kyuss with locals Josh Homme, Chris Cockrell, (then later Nick Oliveri) and John Garcia. Kyuss was signed to Elektra and became the first desert rock band to achieve international success by spearheading a musical movement that brought heavy and psychedelic sounds back to rock and roll and served as a prototype for all “desert/stoner rock”. In 1993, Brant left Kyuss and moved to Humboldt to flip pizzas and play soccer. Too much rain moved him back to his natural habitat where he started an independent record label, EL CAMINO (now DUNA RECORDS); played drums in hardcore punk band De-Con; and played guitar with desert legend Mario Lalli in Fatso Jetson. In 1996, Bjork hooked up again with Homme, to begin the DESERT SESSIONS saga and work on what became Queens Of The Stone Age. However, Brant decided to take the road less traveled and rock with his surf buddies Fu Manchu, an adventure which took him into the studio for five records and around the world in four years.
Inside of You
Brant Bjork And The Bros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sometimes good and I'm sometimes happy and sometimes bad and sad
And I was born with a broken heart
You bet your ass I can swing some blues
And I can pick you up when you're feeling down
And put some love
Some love inside of you
Is what I'm gonna do
Put some love inside of you
Is what I'm gonna do
Put some love inside of you
I tell the truth I never go to church
But I always, I always say my prayers
Mother's think that I'm the boogie-woogie man
But their daughter's, their daughters are never ever scared
I drop a magic potion
To move in slow motion
Oh, yeah it's time to get it on
You all's know what you're feeling is right
When all those folks round you are telling you that you're wrong
I just don't know
I, I wanna do my own thing
But people they just try to bring me down
Tell me that it's not right
I'm just, I'm just a dreamer
Confused and I... I'm so confused and I, I don't know
I... I, wou... could you help me, help me
Wha... what would you do for me
Tell me please, please?
I'll put some love inside of you
Is what I'm gonna do
Put some love inside of you
Is what I'm gonna do
Gonna put some love inside of you
Is what I'm gonna do
Put some love inside of you
Is what I'm gonna do
The song "Inside Of You" by Brant Bjork and The Bros is a reflection of the artist's introspection and inner conflicts. Brant starts by introducing himself as a flawed person who is sometimes happy and sometimes sad, highlighting his emotional duality. He then talks about his broken heart, which could be an allusion to heartbreak or emotional scars from his past. Despite his flaws, Brant believes that he can bring positivity and love to people's lives.
The chorus of the song revolves around the theme of spreading love and kindness. Brant vows to put love inside of people who are feeling down, indicating his desire to help others. The second verse of the song talks about Brant's identity crisis, where people try to bring him down and question his choices. He references his refusal to conform to societal norms and religious beliefs but assures people that he always prays. Brant sheds light on the fact that people often judge others based on their looks and appearances, as he points out how mothers think he's the "boogie-woogie man." He then references a "magic potion" that puts people in slow motion, perhaps suggesting that he wishes others to slow down and reflect on their actions.
Overall, "Inside Of You" is a song about self-discovery, acceptance, and spreading love, even as we navigate through our own uncertainties.
