Big Sister Song Lyrics

[Nayra Waddles]

Whenyou lose a sibling, it feels like there will never again be a person who knows or understands you to the depths he or she did. There is an indescribable void, a chasm so deep and unrelenting it seems to swallow you.

Though she's not physically here, Sonya still carries and keeps me as I try to navigate this life and world without her. I always feel confident that she's looking out for me, watching my back. I have wanted to find a way to express that sentiment for some time now.

Every summer, I use vacation time to follow the Midwest swing of my favorite musicians' tour. What began as one or two shows annually with my sister has grown to eight to 10 some years. Beyond the Midwest, I've also seen them in Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington state.

I love so much of DMB's music, but in recent years there's been one song that has quieted my tears enough so I could sleep at night, or helped rouse me from bed in the morning so I could make it to work. It's simply called "Sister." There is a line throughout: "Sister, you keep me."

The encounter between us was intimate; no one else was around. My dear friend Liesl and I spotted Matthews and his trainer as they were about to go for a run through town. He smiled when I called out "David" and said: "Well, hello there." We hugged. I introduced myself and reminded him we had previously met. He said: "I know," and something else so sweet, so endearing, but something I want to keep between us.

I told him about Sonya, how important "Sister" has been to me and that it would mean everything if he would write some of the lyrics on me. He humbly agreed, and repeatedly said how kind it was of me to ask and how honored he was to do it. He was amazingly attentive, asking me which specific lyrics, where on my body I wanted them and if I wanted to be able to read them.

I understand that feeling. I crave that connection. People often thought Sonya and I were twins and expressed shock when they learned we were born four years apart. We were inseparable. And not a day passes that I don't ache to hear her voice and her laugh, and to be smothered by her hugs.

David John Matthews may never understand how his handiwork and his overwhelming kindness touched my soul. But I think he might. He shows empathy and compassion in many ways, including in how he treats his fans.

It's been a long-running joke among my friends and I that after 25-plus years of being a fan, I've never asked Matthews for an autograph. But when one of my favorite musicians in my favorite band decides to brand me for life, who am I to argue?

Rappers use their skill at writing lyrics to create vivid portraits of their experiences. A captivating feature is the way they skillfully incorporate their relationships with sisters into their poetry, enhancing the intricacy of their narrative.

Through the lens of rap, these artists explore sibling bonds, blurring the lines between family, love and hardship. From challenging societal norms to celebrating triumphs and expressing solidarity, they use their craft to convey the complexities. Each lyric adds a unique layer and showcases the versatility that defines the genre. Check out some of lyrics about sisterly love below.

"Sister Golden Hair" is a song by the band America from their fifth album Hearts (1975), written by Gerry Beckley. It was their second single to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, remaining in the top position for one week.[5]

Beckley says "There was no actual Sister Gold Hair."[6] The lyrics were largely inspired by the works of Jackson Browne. Beckley commented, "[Jackson Browne] has a knack, an ability to put words to music, that is much more like the L.A. approach to just genuine observation as opposed to simplifying it down to its bare essentials... I find Jackson can depress me a little bit, but only through his honesty; and it was that style of his which led to a song of mine, 'Sister Golden Hair', which is probably the more L.A. of my lyrics."[7] Beckley adds that "Sister Golden Hair" "was one of the first times I used 'ain't' in a song, but I wasn't making an effort to. I was just putting myself in that frame of mind and I got those kind of lyrics out of it."[7]

The music video for the song features the band performing the song on The Midnight Special, a popular musical television show. However this is not an official video, just the studio track overdubbed over the live performance.[citation needed]

For a second, imagine that one jerk with the guitar that hogs theattention at every party you attend. Now imagine the same guy 20 years on--and he hasn't developed an ounce of humility.

That's what Trainis like.

Like the classic "guitar dude," Train usually appeals to women who areeither too nave, or too drunk, to notice that he really justwants sexual access to them.

Ladies, the more you know...

So. This guitar guy comes to the party without a guitar case. I guess he'sbeen reflecting on how shallow he was and he's just looking to have a good time and schmooze like therest of us... wait, what?! He brought a ukulele?

It gets worse: He just noticed the only blackgirl at the party, and he's improvising a song to impress her with hislimited knowledge of African-American nomenclature.

And that's basicallywhat "Hey, Soul Sister" sounds like. The band's lyrics here seem cribbed from an R&B artist--and yet the band still kept in its usual litany of tired pick uplines and pop culture references. I dare you not to shudder atthis line, coming from Train: "You're so gangsta/ I'm so thug."

In the video, the lyrics are traveling along the walls and furniture in stop motion. Then an ethnically ambiguous woman lounges around inher apartment in a few scenes. Seems the lyrics tell us he doesn't want tomiss a thing she does? Uh, she's not doing a whole lot.

It's all confusing, that's all I'm saying.

And, in one fell swoop, Train has both ruined the ukulele and may have potentially alienated its one black fan.

To me its about a guy and he's just in love with this girl. But she spends her time hidden away hesitant to give into him and admit how she feels. He struggles to coax her out her shell and accept him. He wants her to break into the light with him. But at the same time he doesn't want to hurt her perhaps the title of "little sister" is to help him keep distance from her while trying to help her.

You whisper secrets in my ear(Her slowly breaking down and speaking with him)Slowly dancing cheek to cheek(Being intimate with one another)It's such a sweet thing when you open up, baby(When she does speak to him its the sweetest thing to him)They say I'll only do you wrong(Everyone around them sees him as a corrupter and doesn't want the two involved)We come together cause I understandJust who you really are, baby(Really self explanatory.)

Now that I got that out of the way I have to say.... This is a song about either unrequitted or unfullfilled love. and no shit it's not HIS little sister. I dig the dark edge on this seemingly upbeat song. That guitar and the vocal harmonies send chills down the spine. sweet. Best song on the album.

Yea, great song. I would just like more people to post what thay think the song's about ando not so many comments about cowbells or woodblocks or plastic cowbells and how great they are. I mean thats the main reason I joined the page to discuss lyrics. Eanyway if the song was really about banging his sister i'd be very dissappointed if i was his sister. or maybe happy u never know. But I could certainly believe it they look kind of perverted to me. i dunno maybe is kis friends much younger sister or somethin'.

It's not a cowbell, wood block, or wooden cowbell (no such thing anyway)...it's called a tempo block. Awesome song, I think he's trying to turn a girl around from a dangerous life she's living, and he loves her so much that he treats her like his "little sister"

Sybilla looked into her mirror

Priscilla looked into the washing machine

And the drudgery of being wed

She was so jealous of her sister

And her liberty and her smart young friends.
