"Sunsets and Slow Moving Days" by Brother James

The Song Saloon | Songwriting, Live Performance, & New Music Discovery

Excited to have Brother James on this week’s episode. I recently wrote a song with Brother James that I’m really excited about!

Brother James is the artist project of singer-songwriter Justin Sinclair. His songs, deeply influenced by classic songwriters like McCartney and Randy Newman, authors like Leo Tolstoy and Aristotle, and monasticism. His songs feature honest self-reflection. Brother James discusses how his songs document his pursuit of truth and attempt to express love for other people. He also gives insights into some of his most personal songs, 'Sunset and Slow Moving Days' and 'Love Everybody'. The songwriter discusses the difficulty of translating knowledge into practical actions, dealing with self-criticism and shares his plans for future releases.

The song is out now, please go check it out!
