about

Retrograce is Brother Kestrel's second release following the release of Dusk in December 2020. Inspired by a journey through an intense thunderstorm on an open road, Retrograce illustrates feelings of determination and a driven willpower to move forward at all costs.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Making my way up, step by step
Until I can’t tell my right from my left
Tell me, is this as good as it gets?
Having to crawl back, beat and bereft?

[Pre-Chorus]
When all it takes is time
And time is all it takes
Owning what is mine
As I rest and as I wake

[Chorus]
A flash of lightning strikes the sky
A mile wide across my eyes
Water blurring the road signs
The black and gold, the green and white
Solitary spots are blind
What a lonesome path to find
My way back to those arms

[Verse 2]
Never forget who I used to be
Thinking the world would bend around me
Through all the years of endless sleep
I finally have the strength to believe

[Pre-Chorus]
When all it takes is time
And time is all it takes
Owning what is mine
As a master of my fate

[Chorus]
A flash of lightning strikes the sky
A mile wide across my eyes
Water blurring the road signs
The black and gold, the green and white
Solitary spots are blind
What a lonesome path to find
My way back to those arms

[Chorus]
A flash of lightning strikes the sky
A mile wide across my eyes
Water blurring the road signs
The black and gold, the green and white
Solitary spots are blind
What a lonesome path to find my way
Back to you
Back to you
Back to you
Back to you

My name is Thom Routon, and I am Brother Kestrel. After spending several years writing and refining the music you hear today, I am very proud to call these songs my own.

My sound derives from several sources of inspiration, all of which are blended together within the style of Indie Folk music.I sincerely hope you enjoy listening to my work.
