“There will always be someone better than you. Even if you’re the best. So let’s stop the competition now, or we will both be losers”

I’ve had this song for quite some time, I listened to the entire album pretty heavily when I first came upon it. Recently it was reintroduced to me on one of the most recent episodes of “Raising Hope” which is one of my favorite shows on television right now.

More About The Belle Brigade

“There’s nothing particularly complicated about The Belle Brigade. The band, made up of brother/sister duo Ethan and Barbara Gruska, writes simple songs about common themes like being in love, loneliness and feeling like an outcast.”

“The most ear-pleasing quality of the band is the way their DNA-sharing vocal chords are able to vibrate perfectly together, creating full, textured harmonies that seem to rise above the instrumentation while flowing along it. There is certainly something about familial bonds and the way they provide an added connectivity in music that’s just not present in other acts. The album’s best song “Losers” is an excellent example of this. It transforms a straightforward acoustic guitar and vocal piece into a powerful, anthemic rejection of societal opinions concerning those it deems not up to snuff.”
