Our song "Dream the Sun" was inspired by a tattoo meant to signify our confidence that the sun will rise, something we can believe even when the night is most dark and the sun is below the horizon. For additional sizes, please visit pinkertonraid.com/merch

The world, our world, as something we can almost hold in our hands, but not quite -- it's a theme that runs through our 2022 album THE HIGHWAY MOVES THE WORLD. You can hear it in the lyrics, you can see it in the music-videos for "Lisbet Cries" and the title track. And you can wear it!

Suffering has a way of separating people when we need one another the most. Sometimes the distance is geographical; sometimes it's just emotional. Empathy can only take us so far. Maybe all we've got are words, and they're not enough. Or maybe our words would only make things worse. We want to traverse the distance, but we can't. -- Jesse James DeConto, singer-songwriter + guitar

lyrics
You're my brother, and sometimes brothers
can only watch from far away
Hello, my brother, we wandered far from home
The roads divided, you wandered on your own
My brother, are you taking care?
My eyes can't see the light out there
Hello, where are you? Will you find yourself a home?
Hello, my brother, your baby has a brother now
Two surprises, your firstborn has a sister too
They're so very far from home
Their family, they may never know
My dear brother, does the distance feel like home?
I know, my brother, you've been pining for a home
Since the days when we were boys
who thought a wife could make us grown
But I've had one, and I've had two
And I'm telling you the truth
You've found a wife, you've found a home
when there's nothing left to prove

Words seem too simple to describe the energy and joy and humanity of this music and these people ... there's just life in it, is all we can say. The Pinkerton Raid
Sean is a provocateur and an entertainer -- he recalls Dylan's later flamboyance, Bowie's baritone, Prince's musicianship. There's just so much good and beautiful in what he does. The Pinkerton Raid
supported by 5 fans who also own “Sometimes, Brothers”
Wonderful... some of Hiatt's best songs are here. I've been a fan since Riding with the King. This is gloriously played, too. What a band. anthonytoner
Elizabeth Morris of Allo Darlin’ returns with a new group! “Winter Sun” is a tender blend of pastoral folk and diary-like lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 8, 2019
