Artist picture
The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
My brother recently had some serious health issues, so I wrote this song for him to let him know how much he means to me and how much I've been thinking about him. We're separated by 3000 miles of land and 9 years of age, but no matter how far we're separated, we'll always be brothers.
Lyrics
Thousands of miles apart, growing up in the same house Never were exactly close, so many reasons for that Thousands of miles apart, now living on different coasts Never see each other much, very rarely spoke Wish I could be with you – wish I could’ve been All the years, all the miles, just lost in the wind Brothers have a history and a bond we call our own Brothers are still connected even when alone No others can share the memories that we hold Brothers, two spirits made from the very same mold Hard lives and tough times, you may call it a curse But at least we got each other and could do a whole lot worse Raised to learn to keep a distance from each other But now we are learning just how to be brothers So much time to make up for, seems like such a shame Let’s not waste any more, lets’ not search for a blame Brothers don’t need to worry to try and fit in Others don’t need to know where we have been Brothers can tell each other anything they want to Brothers can lean on the other as much as they need to [Bridge] I know sometimes we ain’t got much to say Other times there’s so much pain, that seems to get in the way But when we connect on a level - deep and pure Brothers find the words when others can say no more *Guitar Solo* I know when I left to set out on my own How much that must’ve hurt you, right on down to the bone I hope you know the reasons why I could not stay I hope you know I have regrets to this very day Wish I could be with you, wish I could’ve been People come and go but forever we are kin Brothers find a way to make things alright While others seem like ships passing in the night Brothers can come together after some time Brothers age well just like a fine wine Brothers….
