The Barr Brothers, Never Been A Captain (live), The Independent, San Francisco, June 7, 2019 (HD)

Описание: Rarely played live, The Barr Brothers perform "Never Been A Captain" live in concert during their encore set at The Independent in San Francisco, California on June 7, 2019. Never Been A Captain originally appeared on their 2015 Alta Falls EP, which contained outtakes from the Sleeping Operator sessions. This was the third and final night of the band's "Album Nightly" stint at The Independent, where they played a different album in its entirety each night.

The Barr Brothers are Brad Barr (lead vocals and guitar) and Andrew Barr (drums). Joining them were Eveline Gregoire-Rousseau (harp), Morgan Moore (bass), Brett Lanier (pedal steel guitar), and Elizabeth Powell (backing vocals) from the band Land Of Talk. Founding member Sarah Pagé (harp) still records with The Barr Brothers, but stopped touring last year. The band was founded and is based in Montréal, Québec; Brad and Andrew Barr moved there from their hometown of Providence, Rhode Island 15 years ago.

Never Been A Captain lyrics

I've never been a captain
Always been a sailor
And until the sea releases me, a sailor I will remain
Well, you worry about your mama
Worry about your baby
And you dream about a love that only comes your way when you close your eyes at night
They may come to you with diamonds
They may come to you with roses
And then they come to you with promises, but darlin' I promise only this:

It's a sad old world
Sad old world
Got to keep on trying
That's all I know
All I know
If you're lucky enough to have her
You hold that pearl
Hold that pearl
If you're lucky enough to have her
You hold that pearl
Hold that pearl
Hold her
Hold her

We all come here as strangers
(Come here as strangers)
Beggars at the table
(Beggars at the table)
But we leave here arm in arm, laughing at the morning light

It's a sad old world
Sad old world
Got to keep on trying
That's all I know
All I know
If you're lucky enough to have her
You hold that pearl
Hold that pearl
If you're lucky enough to have her
You hold that pearl
Hold that pearl
Hold her
Hold her
Hold her
Hold her
Hold her
Hold her

Hold it in you
Borrowed and blue
And everything, everything
Comes to you
