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.
Life Between
Burden Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it burn,
It's only ours,
'Til I return,
So keep me with you.
Stay warm tonight.
It's alright,
Your still a little child,
And it's always there,
So light a fire for me,
Let it burn.
The life between,
Can get so dark,
So patiently,
My love will start.
Little fire for me,
Let it burn.
First I held you,
In my arms,
I knew had to be,
Moving on,
So keep me with you tonight,
Light a fire for me,
Light a fire for me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
The life between,
Can get so dark,
Tonight, my love,
We'll light a spark,
The life between,
Can get so dark,
So patiently,
My love will start.
Little fire for me,
Let it burn.
Let it burn.
Ooh, ooh.
Light a fire for me,
Let it burn,
Ooh, let it burn.
The lyrics to "Life Between" by Burden Brothers are a heartfelt plea to keep the spark of love alive, no matter the distance or time apart. The song speaks directly to a loved one, asking them to set their fire and keep it burning until the singer returns to their side. The simple but powerful imagery of a burning flame invokes a sense of warmth and comfort, even in the darkest nights.
The chorus repeats the idea that, even when things get difficult, the singer's love will never fade. The phrase "the life between" refers to the moments that exist in between life's big events - the moments of waiting, uncertainty, and transition. These times can be trying, but the singer is asking for a little light to guide them through.
