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 ↴
When you needed an hour
Chose to push it aside
Instead of leaving behind you
If any word that I said
Could have made you forget
I'd have given you them all
But it was all in your head
Now we're burning all the bridges now
Watching it go up in flames
No way to build it up again
And we're burning all the bridges now
'Cause it was sink or swim
And I went down, down, down
And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now
And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now
If I didn't hit it
Would you still say you needed me
Guess I walked right into it
Guess I made it too easy
If any word that you said
Could have made me forget
Would I get up off the floor
'Cause this is all in my head
And we're burning all the bridges now
Watching it go up in flames
No way to build it up again
And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now
And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now
Can we forget about it
Can we forget
Can we forget about it
Can we forget
Burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now
And we're burning all the bridges
Burning all the bridges now
The lyrics to Broods’s song “Bridges” tells the story of a broken relationship. The first verse describes a moment when the singer of the song attempted to give their partner time to process their thoughts, but in doing so, they created distance between them. The singer tries to make amends by offering countless apologies, but their partner refuses to forgive them, and in turn, the relationship crumbles. The chorus emphasizes the consequences of their actions: the bridges between them are now burning, and there is no way to repair the damage that has been done.
The second verse takes on a different perspective, revealing that the partner has also made mistakes, and the singer struggles with whether they would still need their partner if the situation was reversed. Ultimately, both parties are to blame for the relationship's downfall, and the song reflects on the difficulties of rebuilding a relationship after it has fallen apart. The repeated line, “Can we forget about it?” suggests a desire to move on and begin anew, but the burning bridges prevent them from doing so.
Overall, “Bridges” is a powerful and emotional song about the challenges of repairing a broken relationship, and the consequences that come with failing to do so.
Line by Line Meaning
Gave you a minute
I gave you some time
When you needed an hour
But you needed more time than I gave you
Chose to push it aside
I decided not to deal with the issue
Instead of leaving behind you
Rather than walking away or letting you go
If any word that I said
If any of my words
Could have made you forget
Could have helped you forget or move on
I'd have given you them all
I would have said anything to try to help
But it was all in your head
But the problem was within yourself, not something I could fix
Now we're burning all the bridges now
Now we're ending our relationship completely
Watching it go up in flames
Seeing it all fall apart and get destroyed
No way to build it up again
It's too late to try to fix things
'Cause it was sink or swim
It was a make-or-break situation
And I went down, down, down
And unfortunately, I couldn't keep our relationship afloat
If I didn't hit it
If I hadn't gotten involved in this situation
Would you still say you needed me
Would you still want me in your life?
Guess I walked right into it
I inadvertently made things worse
Guess I made it too easy
I was too willing to overlook the issues
If any word that you said
If any of your words
Could have made me forget
Could have helped me move on or let go
Would I get up off the floor
Would I be able to move on from this?
'Cause this is all in my head
Because the problem is within me, not something you can fix
Can we forget about it
Can we move on from this?
Can we forget
Can we let go of the past?
Burning all the bridges
Putting an end to any chance of reconciliation
Burning all the bridges now
Ending any possibility of fixing our relationship

I set this song as my alarm tone as the first words in the lyrics are "Gave you a minute, when you needed an hour..."
It's perfect as I am not a morning person.

@hanawana
Imagine living the way people in music videos do...
@HexadorZaras
That would be really fun and awesome☺️Don't you think?
Having an aesthetic life would be really nice, but were not perfect😕💜
@hanawana
Perhaps...
@hanawana
Yeah but not all music videos are beautiful and "aesthetic." Please check out my personal favourite "Black Hole Sun."
