"Three Brothers" by David Wilcox

[eesa49]

For all of you trying to figure out what the 'characters' mean; just stop talking and start feeling. You will know - words or not. and it is not about that. it's about your heart opening... let it. <3 <3 <3

[eesa49]

Mine too David - you fill my heart with light and my mind with joy and all I can tell you is I am so so so so grateful you are here in this time with me. I love you SO much I have no words. I have all and every album, lp, cd whatever it is you have ever put out. You make my heart sing and my soul sore. It is not about our personal perceptions, it is about our knowing together that we each know and we allow each other to do so without judgment. I DO LOVE YOU. THANK YOU.

while dave is an artist all his own, i can definitely her the James Taylor influence here

What a great song which I get is about the collective ego's identifying with each brother ( 3 faiths) and sacrificing the true identity of who we all are..one..brothers and sisters..And we are holding Jerusalem, as said below, true love hostage and we are getting in the way of love and life..Let's awake !

[minkernt]

I think the sister is not fatih as fatih died. Jerusalem as the city itself is too simple and lacks the living joyfulness reflected in the message of the sister. I think perhaps the sister is more the pure love of god, the spirituality that should underly the practice of religion.

i was actually at this very concert and then got to talk to david after the show. my brother even got a hug!

I was at this Westfield, NJ concert too; I think the back of my head is visible in shadow at one point. I bought the Airstream CD and think the best cut is "Perfect Storm" but there are many others. Didn't you think the audio quality of the concert was amazing -- such a rich, full sound he gets from the guitar. I don't know why DW makes this paralyzing grin/smile after each song -- like a football player after a touchdown, except there's no game.

An amazingly warm voice

I'm wondering who Ahrre's (of Coffee With Conscience) favorite singer/songwriter is.

[coffeewithconscience]

the sister is "Faith" trapped in the prison

[tom1600x1050]

Good interpretation. Thanx. So, the three religions (Jewish, Christianity, Islam) have forgotten the essence of their religion (ie "faith"), forgotten that their "inheritance" is overlapping. So the peoples of the One God are not mutually exclusive, but inclusive. They're imprisoned faith in the Jerusalem prison

[tom1600x1050]

I saw David live at Ahrre's concert too. That's my head off to the left. Liked Justin also. But I doubt it's David's "favorite song", although it has a great guitar sound. Unclear about the meaning: Are the three brothers -- Jew, Christian, Muslim? If so which religion is the daughter? My favorite Wilcox song = Chet Baker's Unsung Swan song. Best album = How Did You Find Me Here. David had several good new songs so he's still evolving as an artist.

[cristaleverde]

I'm fairly certain that the sister is Jerusalem, Tom.

[tom1600x1050]

Possibly. An interesting notion. Your thinking fits the logic of the song. If so, it's not one of Wilcox's better metaphors, in my view, but the song sounds nice with such beautiful chords. Thanx, Cristale.

Fabulous Song by David and I can say that having been there... I enjoyed him immensely! Had never heard him "live" and it was a great evening! Thanks again Ahhre and all who made it possible! (Justin was a terrific surprise.) Phyllis
