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 ↴
Lying in my bed
Recreating you inside my head
You speak softly
Resonating in my subconscious
Where did we begin
Just one break in the year
And nothing's ever been so good
You remember a life
That was all about the two of us
But you and I, we never knew
It was the greatest place I've ever been
And it was right in front of me
You carried me back home again
Where you became it all for me
It was the greatest place I've ever been
And it was right in front of me
You carried me back home again
Where you became it all for me
Still and silent
One gets used to it
Being idle
But not you and me
Just one break in the week
We sit down as just the two of us
And think about the life we know
Oh the promise we made
It will always be the two of us
The dream of being in control
It was the greatest place I've ever been
And it was right in front of me
You carried me back home again
Where you became it all for me
It was the greatest place I've ever been
And it was right in front of me
You carried me back home again
Where you became it all for me
Ohh
Where you became it all for me
Where you became it all for me
Where you became it all for me
Where you became it all for me
Where you became it all for me
Where you became it all for me
The lyrics to BROODS's song Sober express the longing and nostalgia for a past relationship. The singer is lying in bed, sober, and recreating their past partner in their mind. The partner's voice resonates in their subconscious, and they think back to the beginning of their relationship, wondering how it all started. Although the relationship had its struggles, there was a time when it was just the two of them, and it was the greatest place the singer had ever been. But now, they are alone, and they realize that they never knew each other fully.
The song speaks to the universal human experience of nostalgia and the pain of lost love. The singer can't shake their memories of their past partner and longs to be with them again. The lyrics are also introspective, as the singer realizes that they never fully knew their partner, despite the promise they made to always be there for each other. The song's slow, melodic sound and poignant lyrics reflect the deep emotions and introspective thoughts of the singer.
Line by Line Meaning
I am sober
I am not under the influence of any substance
Lying in my bed
I am in bed, possibly alone
Recreating you inside my head
I am trying to remember what it was like to be with you
You speak softly
In my memory, you have a gentle voice
Resonating in my subconscious
Your memory is deeply imprinted in my mind
Where did we begin
I am trying to remember where our relationship started
Just one break in the year
We only get to be together once a year
When it's all about the two of us
We have each other's undivided attention during this time
And nothing's ever been so good
This time spent together is the best part of our lives
You remember a life
You recall a past when we were together more often
That was all about the two of us
When we were the center of each other's world
But you and I, we never knew
We didn't realize how good our time together was until it was gone
It was the greatest place I've ever been
Spending time with you was the best experience of my life
And it was right in front of me
I didn't realize the value of our time together until it was too late
You carried me back home again
When I was with you, I felt safe and at home
Where you became it all for me
You were everything I needed and wanted when we were together
Still and silent
We are calm and quiet in each other's presence
One gets used to it
Being together like this is so natural, we take it for granted
Being idle
We are not busy or distracted when we are together
But not you and me
Our time together is never boring or uneventful
Just one break in the week
We only have a small amount of time together each week
We sit down as just the two of us
We make time to be alone together
And think about the life we know
We reflect on our relationship and our shared experiences
Oh the promise we made
We made a commitment to each other
It will always be the two of us
We know that we will always have each other, no matter what
The dream of being in control
We hope to have more control over our lives in the future
Where you became it all for me
You were everything to me when we were together
Where you became it all for me
You were everything to me when we were together
Where you became it all for me
You were everything to me when we were together
Where you became it all for me
You were everything to me when we were together
Where you became it all for me
You were everything to me when we were together
Where you became it all for me
You were everything to me when we were together
