about

What was said:

No Depression:
“Steal My Disarray” sounds like George Harrison crooning over his weepy guitar.

Music New Nashville:
“Steal My Disarray,” has somewhat of a 70s California vibe to it, thanks to some haunting steel licks from Paul Hoaglin.

Powerpopaholic:
“Steal My Disarray” is a stunner of a tune with echoes of Joe Jackson and led by awesome slide guitar by Paul Hoaglin.

Itunes:
“Steal My Disarray,” which sounds slightly like All Things Must Pass–era George Harrison blended seamlessly into Brooks’ own stylish power pop

lyrics

Steal My Disarray (3:40)

I was unconcerned at first when you said there was nothing to it
It couldn’t happen to a nicer girl with a wicked psychosis
Saw that little jaunt as you walk by
That concussion in your step is a wave goodbye
Saw the stars when no one grabbed the wheel.
Can’t lose tomorrow but ya never could steal
My disarray with your shimmering chicanery

Fractured facts are often obscured by intentions that are never pure
I was taught to be an honest man but that’s not happening in wonderland
Steal my disarray with your shimmering chicanery
Steal my disarray yeah
It meant nothing to me then (ah ah ah a hallelujah)
It means everything to me now (ah ah ah a hallelujah)
It meant nothing to me then (ah ah ah a hallelujah)

It’s like a war that you never feel so far away yet so unreal
A wretched soul has left my spirit unclean
Can’t expect to believe that ya didn’t mean to
Steal my disarray with your shimmering chicanery
Steal my disarray yeah

Cause you’ve got nothing to say to me
I’ve got nothing to sell you’
Here today & gone away
Waiting for a catalyst waiting for dramatic pause
Waiting for a fatality waiting for a siren scream

To steal my disarray with your shimmering chicanery
Steal my disarray
It meant nothing to me then (ah ah ah a hallelujah)
It means everything to me now (ah ah ah a hallelujah)
It meant nothing to me then (ah ah ah a hallelujah)
To me now, (ah ah ah a hallelujah) to me then, (ah ah ah a hallelujah)
To me now

Brad Brooks Oakland, California

Brad Brooks is that rare quadruple threat of writer, player, singer, and performer.
His songs combine the melodic sensibility of Elvis Costello, the best instincts of Wilco and Brian Wilson, the orchestral sophistication of Queen, along w/the Stonesy/Bowie gritty edges of rock/soul.
"If you're anything like me, you need some good news. Brad Brooks' music is that good news”……….Wayne Kramer ... more
