1. An English band from the 1980s and 1990s.
2. An indie rock band from Canada,
1. Bros were an English boy band active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, consisting of the twin brothers Matt Goss and Luke Goss along with Craig Logan. They were managed by former Pet Shop Boys manager Tom Watkins, who it was rumoured was actually one of the main songwriters, working under the name "The Brothers" with other songwriters to give the impression that the Goss brothers were the actual writers of the early hits.
Their first single, I Owe You Nothing, was released in 1987 on CBS. The second, When Will I Be Famous reached number two in the United Kingdom. Their first album, Push, was released in 1988. The group achieved a total of 11 top 40 singles and three Top 40 albums in the United Kingdom, making them one of the biggest acts in British music between 1988 and 1993. They reached number one when "I Owe You Nothing" was re-issued in 1988. Consequently, they also sparked a fashion craze of attaching Grolsch bottle tops to their shoes.
Logan left the band in 1989, and the Goss brothers continued touring. A second album, The Time was released in 1989 followed by Changing Faces in 1991 before the band imploded in 1992, amid contractual and money issues.
Matt Goss started his solo career in 1995 and has enjoyed more top 40 success, especially after being one of the chefs on Gordon Ramsay's Hells Kitchen (ITV). Luke Goss appeared in west end musicals throughout the 1990s and has also appeared in several movies since 2000, including Blade II, a 2004 TV version of Frankenstein as the creature, and he co-starred alongside Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy in The Man. He also recorded several singles himself, including "Sweeter Than The Midnight Rain" with his 'Band Of Thieves', and was briefly signed to One Little Indian records.
Craig Logan managed P!nk and in 2006 was put in charge of Sony BMG's RCA Records label group.
Sister
Bros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have only memories that make me feel better
Time alone is my only drug
I'll never forget my sister
She was torn between two worlds
Of a city and a suburb
Where her shouts of anger
Didn't get out in time, no
She didn't, no she didn't get out in time
Was the future blind?
Sister, oh sister, you're on our minds
A city girl, a future to find
Frozen footsteps so cold back in time
A big mistake, a wrong move
The Lord moves in mysterious ways
She was torn between two worlds
Of a city and a suburb
Where her shouts of anger
And frustration ever heard but she [unverified]
Didn't get out in time, no
She didn't, no she didn't get out in time
Was the future blind?
Sister, oh sister you're on our minds
The lyrics to Bros's song 'Sister' tell a poignant story of a sister who was torn between two worlds: the city and the suburbs. The singer is left with nothing but memories of his beloved sister who was unable to escape the harsh realities of her surroundings. The opening lines emphasize the profound sense of loss, as the singer reflects that being alone now (without his sister) is much different than when they were together.
The lyrics paint a picture of a young woman who was struggling to find her place in the world. She was torn between a city lifestyle and the more peaceful suburbs. The chorus implies that her inability to reconcile these differences may have contributed to her downfall. The singer laments that his sister didn't get out in time and that her future may have been blind. However, the final line suggests that she is still in their thoughts and has not been forgotten.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of sadness and regret, but also the importance of remembering loved ones who have passed. It’s a touching tribute to a sister who held a special place in the singer’s heart.

I am so crazy about this song, sung with such passion gives me goose bumps those last few words. I liked pretty much all of their songs and was an avid follower. I just saw them at the o2 sunday- Blimin amazing experience, going back to our teenager years, reliving our childhood in carefree, simpler times. Bros fans are such a happy loving family.

I am the same, never liked their other stuff, but at the time in my life when this was released, it really resonated. I just understood the feeling of loss, and how powerless the boys felt.
