Unknown Brother
The Black Keys Lyrics
Though I never met you
And we spoke not a word
I'll never forget you through the stories that I've heard
For you, unknown brother, my baby's mother's pain
'Cause your soul is in heaven but your memory remains
Unknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We'll walk through fields where children play
Your eyes shined bright when you were a kid
Your sisters loved you and all that you did
Big brother, big brother, don't worry a bit
Your flame has not faded since the day it was lit
Your life was joy
You're mama's only boy
And when the skies are blue
Big brother, they're blue for you
We'll smile like pictures of you as a boy
Before you retired to heavenly joy
Unknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We'll walk through fields where children play

Dan Auerbach explained this song to The Sun May 14, 2010: "It's about my brother-in-law who died of cancer when he was in high school. I'm not sure there could be another tone when making a song about mourning a young life being taken so soon."

My mom had a child when I was 6 years old, it was a boy, due to the financial struggle at the moment she had to give him away for adoption, although I was very young I loved that kid very much and since the day he left I always knew that some day I would find my brother no matter how long it would take. tree months ago I met my little brother after 18 years since that day. I must have listened to this song 500+ times and will continue to do so as it represents history for me and life long experience.
