For your brother
You two say everything with a shoulder punch and a nod. For once, say it with his name in a chorus.
A song for your brother, made from what only you know
Brothers say a lot by saying very little, which makes a song about him a rare thing. Give us the rivalries, the backyard games and the time he had your back, and his name runs through the chorus.
Hear the second a name lands
Dante, you're my brother and my guide,
You wrote“He loses every FIFA match and still asks for a rematch.”
The song singsYou lose every match but your competitive spirit never tames.
From a real song made here: “A Bond Built to Last”, for Dante, from what his best friend typed.
The moment you give it
You plug your phone into the speaker while he cleans the grill. He pretends not to listen through the first verse. By the chorus he has put the tongs down and is grinning at the ground.
THIS ONE GOES OUT TO MY BROTHER · THIS ONE GOES OUT TO MY BROTHER ·
After the grill goes quiet · Backyard, folding chairs, everyone a little sunburned

Funny, sincere or both
The best brother songs tease in the verses and mean it in the chorus. Write two lines that tease him and one that tells the truth, and the song balances itself.
For example
A laugh, a favor and a hope.
- He broke my arm in a trampoline accident and has apologized every year since.
- He drove me to my first job interview and waited outside for two hours.
- He is going to be a better dad than he thinks.
Style picks for brothers
Upbeat pop or country suits most brothers. A male voice can make it feel like a toast from a buddy, while a female voice makes it sound more like it comes from his sister.
Big brother, little brother, twin
A song for an older brother usually thanks him for the example he set, good and bad. One for a younger brother tends to be proud and a little protective. If you are twins, write about being compared to each other, which is usually rich material.
If your brother has children, the song becomes a way for them to hear who he was before he was Dad. Include one line from your childhood that his kids would never guess, like the band he started in the garage.
