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.
Everybody Is Easy
Burden Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody is easy
Everybody is strong
Everybody would leave me every time I go wrong
The song is a secret
The song is a lie
Don't you try to sing along, you forget the words every time
And our heads are spinning
Were beginning something great
Everybody gets even
Everybody gets high
Everybody gets lonely watching TV at night
But the moon is a great sight and it pulls the tide
Fuck everything you know and come on outside
We're stuck in the middle with a little that we make
And our heads are spinning
Were beginning something great
We sink, we swim
Seems like it's been this way forever
We sink, we swim together
I want you now
I want you more than I can say
Don't let this moment slip away
Everybody is easy
Everybody is strong
We're stuck in the middle with a little that we make
And our heads are spinning
Were beginning something great
We sink, we swim
It's been this way forever
We sink, we swim together
The lyrics of Burden Brothers's song "Everybody Is Easy" convey a sense of collective struggle and resilience in the face of adversity. The repetition of the phrases "everybody is easy" and "everybody is strong" functions as a reminder that everyone faces difficulties and that endurance can be found by recognizing commonality. The line "everybody would leave me every time I go wrong" speaks to the fear of abandonment, while the lyric "the song is a secret, the song is a lie" contributes to a sense of enigma and mystique. The invitation to "fuck everything you know and come on outside" is a call to action, a suggestion that by embracing new experiences and perspectives, one can move beyond limitations.
The song's chorus, "We're stuck in the middle with a little that we make / And our heads are spinning / Were beginning something great," echoes the idea of struggle and adaptation. Despite challenges and uncertainty, there is a sense that progress is being made. The lines "we sink, we swim / seems like it's been this way forever / we sink, we swim together" reinforce this idea of collective resilience, suggesting that even when facing difficulties or failure, there is comfort to be found in shared experience.
