The band was formed by singer Vaden Todd Lewis (formerly of Toadies) and drummer Patrick "Taz" Bentley (formerly of Reverend Horton Heat, Tenderloin, and the Izzy Stradlin Band) in 2002.
The band can be regarded as a Texas rock supergroup since its members were all members of other Texas-based bands (of varying success and popularity) before joining the Burden Brothers.
The band was signed to Kirtland Records until their separation in 2006. They released two albums over the course of their career; 2003's Buried In Your Black Heart and 2006's Mercy.
Beautiful Night
Burden Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A beautiful night for being afraid
So raise your hands, you one and only's
You one-of-a-kinds who feel this way
I don't want to talk, don't want to explain it
I don't want to fuck and I don't want to fight
Its only a feeling, it's fleet and fading
'Cause it's a beautiful night, beautiful night, yeah
Beautiful night, beautiful night to be here
Its a perfect time for being wasted
A perfect time to watch the stars
So throw back your head
Come on, embrace it
Its a beautiful night, wherever you are
It's a beautiful night
Beautiful night, yeah
Beautiful night
Beautiful night to be here
All good things will come to you
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight it's the truth
I don't know
All good things to those who dream
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight we'll find peace
God I hope so
So raise your hands, raise your hands..
All good friends, they stood by you
And one at a time, one at a time they fell down
They fall down
All your fears are coming true and
This is the time, this is the time of your life
That defines you
So raise your hands, raise your hands..
Under the stars I'm alone among strangers
Confused, connected, diffused and alive
Maybe the future will smile on us
Maybe the future is here tonight
'Cause it's a beautiful night, beautiful night, yeah
Beautiful night,
Beautiful night yeah,
Beautiful night,
Beautiful night yeah,
Beautiful night,
Beautiful night yeah,
Beautiful night yeah,
Beautiful night yeah,
Beautiful night,
It's a beautiful night to be here

“And all your fears coming true, and this is the time, this the time of your life, that defines you, so raise your hands.”
Almost 20 years later, I still get chills when I hear those words with that voice.

Toadies still tour like crazy. I would love to hear some burden brothers again live, but i feel lucky to at least get to see toadies live. Get out and support them, great band and nice guys.
Paul
I got goosebumps at 1:26. Todd Lewis’ voice is one of the all-time best

I saw these guys last night in SR, Northern California. Sweet god they rocked so hard. They were loud, and technically brilliant. Me and my friends were so impressed by them. They are so rock & roll!
V SUS
This song is about the feeling of being alone on the porch just sitting there in the middle of a summer night, contemplating life.
Meggie Willis
I so agree with you.
Hagenbuch
Yup, this song captures the exact moment that you speak of to perfection.
Qwandary
I always saw it more like everything is falling apart and time kinda slows down for you, puts it in perspective and you both want to breakdown and admire the beauty of life at the same time.

I live in Texas, Dallas to be exact. And man back in the day growing up I would heat a shot load of them. Id chill with my family outside on a cold night, while the adults drank, and we'd and talk about good times, and jam the shit outta the burden brothers and the toadies. Good song, as well as shadow and Tyler
