Lyrics for Song: Sister
Lyrics for Album: Niño Rojo [2004]
Sister, sister, keep the fire inside, and your dogs won't die.
And now it's all clear, it's all clear, you can see the child before it's born
Yeah it's all clear, it's all clear, it's all your little sun son smile before it's
shown.
Sister, we'll climb, we'll climb 'til the dogs, climb over us
We'll climb, we'll climb, we'll climb 'til the dogs, climb over us
Sister, what you're coming turn all the lights, all out, out, I can't see no more
Now I reach out, now I feel for, now I reach out, now I feel for

About Sister
Devendra Banhart's "Sister" stands as a quintessential example of his early indie-folk aesthetic, captured on the 2004 album *Niño Rojo*. The track exemplifies Banhart's signature vocal style, characterized by its intimate, conversational delivery and melodic simplicity that prioritizes emotional resonance over technical virtuosity. Released during the height of the lo-fi indie revival, the recording reflects the raw, unpolished charm that defined the era's underground scene. As part of his discography from that period, the song contributes to a broader body of work exploring themes of intimacy and everyday life, delivered with a distinct warmth that has cemented Banhart's reputation as a pioneering voice in alternative folk music. The composition remains a staple for fans seeking authentic, acoustic-driven performances from the mid-2000s. |
